The next day.

Inside the conference hall of the headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Link, old Harris, and the French Ministry of Magic delegation gathered again.

This is the second day of the mediation meeting process. The original plan was to formally finalize the entire mediation agreement, including the specific compensation amount, the apology time, the content of the apology article and other detailed content, and write it into the magic contract and sign it.

If everything follows the content of the discussion at yesterday's meeting, then this is definitely an unacceptable result for the French Ministry of Magic.

So quarrels are inevitable.

However, at this moment, the entire conference hall was extremely silent.

Link, Dumbledore, and old Harris were all intently reading the parchment document in their hands, while the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic were sitting on the other side of the long table, looking lost. .

After a long time, Link took the lead in putting down the document in his hand and let out a long sigh.

What they saw just now was an urgent document sent by the French Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards' Offices in France.

One thing is clearly described above - large-scale protests and demonstrations (with a tendency to rebellion) broke out in the French magic circle.

The reason for this is fairly simple.

The results of the discussions at the meeting yesterday were leaked, which eventually led to Norton and more than a dozen staff of the French Ministry of Magic committing suicide in the hall of the French Ministry of Magic.

Then a series of chain reactions began.

First, the people who witnessed all this in the hall fell into a state of madness and began to attempt to attack the French Ministry of Magic.

After a quarter of an hour discussion in the French Ministry of Magic's office, a large number of strikers were dispatched to the French Ministry of Magic, all protesters were expelled from the hall, and the French Ministry of Magic was announced to temporarily stop receiving foreign guests.

However, the storm did not stop there.

On the contrary, the local French media were like sharks who smelled the blood, and began to report wildly and spread the news.

In the end, at their instigation, the people became angry.

Hundreds of wizards from all over France gathered at the entrance of the French Ministry of Magic in the center of Furstenberg Square, raising their wands and throwing spells in protest.

During this period, more than 20 wizards set themselves on fire in extreme anger.

The French Ministry of Magic has not made any statement on this. They have not even done the most basic operation of maintaining order, or dispatching strikers and Aurors again to expel the people in the square.

The entire French Ministry of Magic seems to be paralyzed.

However, according to the explanation in the report document, this does not seem to blame the on-duty decision-makers in the office of the French Minister of Magic.

Because there are also a large number of people who are dissatisfied with the results of this meeting among the staff of the French Ministry of Magic. Although they are not as extreme as the rest of the people due to their identity, they have adopted the practice of sabotage, which directly led to the command of the entire French Ministry of Magic. The system has been suspended, and decrees cannot be issued and implemented at the grassroots level.

Link took a deep look at the French Minister of Magic across from him.

When such a situation occurs, it can be said that this group of people is entirely to blame.

The content of yesterday's meeting will not be spread out for no reason.

The only explanation is that there are spies inside the French Ministry of Magic delegation.

This is actually nothing.

Similar things happened many times in the Ministry of Magic during Fudge's administration. Generally speaking, as long as you take tough measures to control the media and protesters to prevent the situation from further worsening, and then use the Huairou policy to appease to a certain extent, you can make a big difference. To alleviate social dissatisfaction to some extent.

It is a pity that, in order to show his respect for the International Confederation of Wizards at this mediation meeting, and also to put pressure on Link, the French Minister of Magic made a big effort, which can be said to include the head of the Auror Command and even the magician. The entire French Ministry of Magic leadership team, including the director of the Legal Enforcement Department, was brought over.

The direct consequence of this is.

Their agents at the French Ministry of Magic simply do not have enough prestige and experience in dealing with such mass events.

So, after the incident, their leadership was very easily emptied.

"It's really stupid."

Thinking like this, Link couldn't help but express his true thoughts.

The representatives of the French Ministry of Magic who heard the words were a little dissatisfied, but the fact that they were in front of them made them so ashamed that they couldn't lift their heads, because even they felt that they were waiting for the others before. The operation is really stupid.

"Mr. Minister, you, the French Ministry of Magic, have caused me a lot of trouble this time."

Old Harris finally spoke up.

As he spoke, he threw a crystal ball.

The crystal ball was tumbling on the table, and when it rolled to the center, a ray of light suddenly exploded from it, revealing a picture.

It was Furstenberg Square at night.

Hundreds of wizards in different costumes are gathering on the square.

They held their wands high, and countless spells were continuously thrown into the sky by them like fireworks, and exploded in the night sky.

Around them, there were panicked Muggles and Muggles who came to check on the news of the riot.

The conflict appeared without warning.

A small group of wizards pointed their wands at Muggles.

After a series of scarlet curse lights flickered, explosions, screams, cheers and curses resounded throughout Furstenberg Square.

The screen stopped abruptly.

At the end of the frame, a helicopter is shot down.

Judging from the drawing on the side of the helicopter, it seems to be a reporting plane belonging to the French Muggle media.

"In the past few hours, images similar to this paragraph have spread throughout France, if not for the fact that the Italian and German Ministry of Magic sent emergency intervention teams into France to unite the French Muggle regime to suppress, similar The news has probably spread all over the world."

Old Harris stared at the delegation of the French Ministry of Magic, his eyes became as sharp as falcons, "But even so, the spread of news in France is still difficult to contain! This is a serious provocation to the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Law", and it is also The direct consequence of your malfeasance!"

The French Minister of Magic's face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking.

Facing the angry old Harris, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He could only murmur vague words like 'I'm sorry' and 'It's not all my fault'.

As for the rest of the delegation, they simply pretended to be ostriches, all bowed their heads and said nothing.

Old Harris waved his hand irritably and continued:

"Stop talking about these meaningless quibbles. The Reversing Occasional Magic Events Team and the Memory Write-off Team of the International Federation of Wizards have left for the French Ministry of Magic two hours ago to carry out the next step of news suppression and amnestics. You also need to Stop this riot as soon as possible, at all costs!"

"Yes...Yes, thank you for your help, I really..."

"You really should thank the International Federation of Wizards, but thank you. Since you are the direct bearers of this riot, you are responsible for all the related expenses. The specific amount will be billed to you later. It's time to pay."

Hearing this, the French Minister of Magic was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and bowed deeply to old Harris.

But there was a wry smile on his face.

"Wait a minute."

Link's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

This made the French Minister of Magic sigh again, and instinctively looked up.

However, what Link said was not to him at all, but to old Harris.

"This report shows that the criminal Norton committed suicide, right? In that case, how should the agreement we made yesterday be carried out?"

"Well, that's a problem." Old Harris said after a moment's thought, "How about this, let the Minister hand over the body of the criminal Norton to you, so that you can have an explanation if you take it back. To make up for it, increase the compensation from Jin Galleon, what do you think?"

When old Harris finished speaking, before Link could respond, the French Minister of Magic screamed:

"No! This is absolutely not possible!"

Link and old Harris looked at the sound in unison.

Only then did the French Minister of Magic notice his gaffe, bow his head slightly and plead:

"Mr Harris, and Lord Foley, we really can't hand over Professor Norton's body! He is the source of this incident and the source of the people's anger. If I hand over his body to you, Don't talk about calming down the gaffe, I'm afraid the angry people will even pull me down as the Minister of Magic!"

Haven't you been pulled off your horse now?

After such a big incident, do you still think that you can continue to sit in the position of Minister of Magic safely?

I'm afraid that once you return to your country, you will be forced to consider abdicating your throne to become a virtuous one.

Link groaned wildly in his heart, a sarcastic arc raised at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, the French Minister of Magic gritted his teeth and said:

"Eight million! We are willing to compensate your ministry for eight million gold Galleons! This is our entire gold Galleon reserve, please forgive us!"

When he said this, the French Minister of Magic was very low, and his hunched waist made him look like he was about to kneel before Link.

However, upon hearing this, Link still shook his head and sighed:

"What's the use of me wanting Jin Galleons? So many gold Galleons flooding into the market at once will lead to rapid inflation in the entire magical world of the country, and eventually prices and business ecology will collapse, which is fundamentally harmful to me. Useless."

"Then replace it with materials. As long as it is the materials that the French magic world can produce, you can try to speak up, and we will do our best to satisfy it!"

The French Minister of Magic continued to speak, but Link shook his head again.

This made the French Minister of Magic almost desperate.

What he didn't know was that Link really didn't like those things.

Supplies and gold Galleons may bring the overall economic strength of the Ministry of Magic to a new level.

After discussing with Dumbledore, Clink can almost confirm that this Norton is also one of the bearers of the blood of the king.

What Link wanted was the blood of the king in his body!

"Cough cough—"

Old Harris suddenly coughed, "Resource compensation is actually quite good. If Mr. Link Foley is not satisfied with this, we can also take over. Of course, as a replacement, our International Federation of Wizards can give more on their behalf. compensation options.”

As he spoke, Old Harris took out a roll of parchment and floated it in front of Link under magic control, "Please take a look first, if you agree to exchange resources, you can choose any two of the items in it. "

Link didn't ridicule old Harris for trying to cut his beard, but simply opened the parchment scroll.

Immediately, the dense catalog of items came into his field of vision.

Just after seeing it for the first time, Link couldn't help but look at old Harris in surprise.

He was very suspicious that old Harris had directly handed him the warehouse directory of the headquarters of the International Wizarding Federation.

Because there are not only a large number of extinct magical materials such as Haigley Mermaid meat, but also many alchemy products and works of art with obscure names that Link has never heard of, and even precious knowledge such as potion formulas and alchemy techniques. all on it.

Even Link has to admit that there are indeed many good things hidden here.

Having discovered this, Link began to look down at the catalogue seriously, and Dumbledore, who had been silent all along beside him, couldn't help but lean over.

The two of them looked at it for half an hour before Dumbledore suddenly pointed to a line of words on the catalog and said:

"This is quite good, and it should be won."

Gu Wei </span> "The Potions of Eos? What is this thing for?"

Link asked in confusion.

"I prefer to call it the "Dawn Potion". Didn't Severus mention it to you? But it's normal. This potion has been lost for nearly a thousand years, and the effect is single, and it's not native to the country. Potions were created and invented by a potion master in ancient Greece, and I'm afraid Severus himself didn't know that it ever existed."

Dumbledore explained, "As for its effect, it is actually very simple, that is, it greatly increases the strength of mental power, and also increases the magical talent and related spell control. High-level wizards are also effective, and can stabilize the realm of legendary wizards to a certain extent.

Phew!

I thought this potion had disappeared forever, but I didn't expect to see it here.

Mr. Harris, is your "Dawn Elixir" newly made or an ancient relic? "

Old Harris said with a smile:

"You're joking, Professor Dumbledore, how could we possibly make such an ancient potion? Although we do have its formula, the materials needed in it have long since disappeared. So "Dawn Potion" is We found it when we were developing an ancient ruin. But don't worry, it's pretty well preserved, at least 90 percent functional.

Of course, the most important thing is that we have two bottles of "Dawn Potion". You and Your Excellency Link Foley have exactly one bottle each. It is worth noting that one bottle of "Dawn Elixir" corresponds to one selection opportunity, that is to say, if you want two bottles, the two selection opportunities given to you this time will be exhausted. "

Link turned his head and made eye contact with Dumbledore.

"You can take it. "Dawn Elixir" is the best potion for the legendary rank. Its effect may be slightly smaller, but it is more stable and has no future troubles. The most important thing is that the benefits you originally planned to take should no longer be available. arrive."

Dumbledore whispered.

Link nodded and said to old Harris:

"Okay, I want two bottles."

Dumbledore was obviously stunned when he said this.

Potions such as "Dawn Potion" can only be taken once in a person's life, and it is impossible for Link to not know this kind of conventional knowledge at the level of the potion.

In other words, the second bottle of "Dawn Elixir" was for him.

This is really...

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, but his heart warmed.

On the other hand, old Harris was also very happy.

Although he didn't know what the so-called 'benefit' that Dumbledore used to compare with "Dawn Elixir" just now, it didn't matter, what really mattered to him was to reach this deal.

He smiled and got up and said:

"So it's settled like this?"

"Of course not," Link shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Besides that, I want the recipe for "Dawn Potion"."

"Recipe? With all due respect, the recipe for "Elixir of Dawn" is indeed with us, but a considerable part of its crafting materials have been extinct, and it is impossible for anyone in this world to recreate it. But... well , if you absolutely want to study it, I can give it to you as well, as a gift of the trade."

"Then you might as well send some more. I also want the cluster space transition technology recorded here."

Hearing what Link said, this time the smile on old Harris' face could no longer be maintained.

Cluster space jump, this is a subsidiary technology when they develop Sky City technology.

Its characteristic is that, like the flame teleportation of the phoenix and the special apparition spells of house elves, it can ignore most of the anti-apparition spell prohibitions to force the space transition, and the overall process is relatively comfortable.

In terms of effect and cherishment alone, it is really nothing to the International Federation of Wizards represented by Old Harris.

What really upset old Harris was that Link made another step forward when he had already given way.

He took a deep breath and said somewhat unkindly:

"Commissioner Link Foley, you must be a little too greedy, right?"

"You shouldn't have the right to judge me like this, right? A truly greedy person shouldn't be you, right?" Link shook his head with a relaxed expression, "If you want to gain but don't want to pay, how can there be such a good thing in the world? What's more, you seem to be more eager for the resources given by the French Ministry of Magic for these things we have given you?"

Old Harris was silent.

Link's words just now can be said to have hit his seven-inch key.

Sky Island, the base of the International Wizarding Union, is a pure technology exporting city. Not only can it not generate any resources, it even requires a large amount of imported resources as a supplement to the continuous development of its technology.

All kinds of basic resources are indeed more important to them than the so-called 'baby' piled up in the warehouse.

Link is obviously clear about all of this, and is not a so-called novice.

After realizing this, old Harris' original serious expression instantly eased, and he said with a smile:

"You're right, Commissioner Link Foley, so the matter is settled. Let's talk to the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic, how much resources your Ministry should devote to make up for the loss of everyone here. Of course , my proposal for compensation is..."

Old Harris licked his lips, then pulled out something similar to a data report from nowhere and said:

"Eight-eyed giant spider venom 20 cubic meters, dragon blood 300 cubic meters, thunderbird tail feathers 2000, airship plum 30 tons, deformed lizard skin 10000, fairy wings 20 kg, long-horned water snake horn 70 kg, pure mithril 100 tons , 30,000 unicorn tail hairs…”

As Old Harris chanted, the faces of the French Minister of Magic and the other members of the French Ministry of Magic delegation became increasingly pale.

Especially when they finally heard that old Harris was going to let them pay the difference of 200,000 gold Galleons directly to the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom, they couldn't hold back.

A few old officials like the president of the International Magic Trade Standards Association even fainted.

They are all people who know the economic reality of the entire French magic circle.

Therefore, they are also very clear that although the French magic world is rich now, if the payment is made according to the list given by old Harris, the economic level of the entire French magic world will probably go back directly to the 17th century. The abject poverty stage at the time of its establishment.

"We can't give so much!"

The Auror Minister of the French Ministry of Magic stood up and said loudly. Of course he didn't understand economics, and he didn't even understand how large a sum of supplies those dense numbers represented. He simply wanted to haggle the price.

However, he also helped to make a start.

After hearing the words, several officials immediately followed up:

"Merciful Mr. Harris, we sincerely urge you to reduce the size of some materials, which is beyond our capacity."

"Yes, our French magic circle has indeed developed rapidly over the past few years, but this has been achieved on the basis of a large amount of investment we have made. Now, our investment has not been recovered, and you are now asking for such a freshman year. The pen supplies want us to die!"

The officials all showed great effort, but these were all in vain.

No matter how they persuaded, old Harris' expression did not change in the slightest.

It was as if they had decided that even if they were smashing the pot and selling iron, they would definitely hand over a resource.

This made the hearts of many officials of the French Ministry of Magic ignited anger.

They understand that even if they promised to hand over Professor Norton's body now, old Harris and Link would not want it.

Because the nature of the matter has completely changed from negotiation at the beginning to extortion against the French Ministry of Magic!

But they haven't been eaten to death yet!

It's amazing, it's rotten!

What if they don't give resources to the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic?

Is there a war?

How can it be?

It is impossible for the International Federation of Wizards to allow the Ministry of Magic to declare war. A direct war between the two Ministry of Magic is likely to lead to the complete invalidation of the Secrecy Act, which has been maintained for hundreds of years.

Therefore, it is more likely that the International Federation of Wizards will compensate and appease the Ministry of Magic at its own expense.

Then, through their own channels, they united with the rest of the Ministry of Magic in Europe to impose all-round economic sanctions on the French Ministry of Magic, and demanded the resources they paid to the Ministry of Magic of the country.

This will undoubtedly make the French magic circle economic backwards.

But anyway, it's better than a direct shock, right?

It is the lesser of two evils, and it is very clear how to choose the answer!

For a time, the eyes of almost all the officials of the French Ministry of Magic became firm again.

They are united like never before!

Let's play together!

However, just when they had decided in their hearts to announce to old Harris and Link, the French Minister of Magic, who had been silent for a while, suddenly stood up.

He looked a lot more energetic, and even had a relaxed smile on his face, as if he had just made a perfect decision.

Under everyone's attention, I heard him say in a cheerful tone:

"It's all quite reasonable and totally acceptable to us. All the resources, we will pay them off within a week. But considering the current tension in the French magic world, I still need everyone's attention in the coordination and handover of the goods. Help. So I implore the International Confederation of Wizards to send troops of Aurors and Strikers into the French wizarding world to assist us in our work and stabilize the situation!"

"Mr. Minister, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Have you been controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse? Where's the curse-breaker? Send the curse-breaker to help!"

"Damn traitor! Do you know what you are doing?"

…

The officials of the French Ministry of Magic completely exploded. They sat in their seats with a confused look, as if they had not recovered from the previous great changes, but more of them were flushed. His face was yelling at the French Minister of Magic.

But no matter how they expressed their anger, the French Minister of Magic, who had just finished expressing his position, was unmoved at all, and just stared at old Harris with piercing eyes.

"Hahaha-"

Old Harris laughed, "Mr. Minister, it would be great if you were so cheerful! Don't worry, the Aurors and Strikers of the International Confederation of Wizards will return to France with you, they will help you eliminate the rebellion, and Stabilize your dominance. Of course, it can't be too long, I hope you understand."

"Of course I can understand that as long as they can support it until January next year, it's time for me to retire."

"That's good!"

Old Harris and the French Minister of Magic got up and clasped their hands together.

Both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

In contrast, the expressions of the rest of the French Ministry of Magic officials were ferocious like ghosts.

Having said that, how can they still not understand?

This year is the last year for the French Minister of Magic to rule. After this year is complete, he will be able to rely on the time in power to enter the Sky City and become a Celestial.

So before January next year, he must sit firmly in the position of the Minister of Magic of France.

This is quite a difficult task.

At present, he has almost been identified as a traitor by the local wizards in France, and 80% of them will only be ousted after returning.

So it was very natural for him to eliminate all external conflicts in the shortest possible time, and to win over the International Federation of Wizards for help.

Lose your rights and humiliate the country?

In his heart, this is nothing compared to his ideal of becoming a celestial being!

The beloved ministers of French wizards have sold them, along with the entire French magic world!
