The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 640: Gotta keep expanding.
at the same time.
Driven by Newland and escorted by the surrounding Auror convoy, Link's flying carriage quietly parked in the open space in front of the gate of Forlì Castle.
Mrs. Foley, Emily, old Clay and others were already waiting by the side.
As soon as Link got off the carriage, several people stepped forward to hug Link and greeted excitedly.
And Newland, who was still in control of the carriage, was a little more disappointed in his eyes.
This time they defeated the French Ministry of Magic in the International Federation of Wizards, and it can be said that they achieved an unimaginable great victory.
With such a big credit, he originally thought that he would be greeted by flowers and applause when he came back.
But he didn't expect that in front of Forlì Castle, apart from a group of people who were close to Link, there would be no festive look and atmosphere at all.
"If you feel deserted, you can return to the Ministry of Magic now, where a large-scale celebration ceremony is being held. I heard that there are bonuses to take, which should be more in line with your expectations."
As if sensing Newland's heart, Link, who had just finished hugging Emily, suddenly turned around and said.
Hearing this, Newland smiled awkwardly and said:
"No, that's not necessary. I just want to say that we have achieved such a great achievement, maybe we can hold a banquet to celebrate, even if it is a little smaller, even if it is not at the Ministry of Magic, but here, it should be very good. Effectively boosts morale.”
As soon as these words came out, Percy nodded in agreement.
Like what Link said just now, they have already prepared a similar large-scale banquet at the Ministry of Magic.
It's a pity that Link didn't want to go.
Percy can understand this. After all, it is normal to want to go home and reunite with his family after being away from home for so long.
But not even holding any kind of celebration and invitation at home is a bit of a stretch.
As a result, he had to come to Forlì Castle on such a happy day to report to Link.
Thinking of this, Percy put on a bitter face.
In the final analysis, he is also a young man, and naturally he is more eager for lively occasions.
It's a pity that Link only shook his head gently for their proposal, and then walked into the castle with Mrs. Foley and Emily.
He can accept a small number of acquaintances.
But a big banquet?
Link really couldn't take it.
This is a habit that Link has cultivated since his last life.
For him, home is a private space for rest. Too many people, especially unfamiliar people, break into this space, which will make him feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Percy was also very helpless. He followed up and said:
"Link, didn't Dumbledore come back with you?"
"He went back to Hogwarts on his own. You know, Hogwarts is home to him."
"Yes, of course I understand."
Percy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Like old Barty, he never let go of his vigilance against Dumbledore.
They always felt that Dumbledore recalled one day that he forced his way into the existing ruling system of the Ministry of Magic.
And this will dilute the power they now hold.
Now that he learned that Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts directly, he didn't have too much desire to interfere in politics, so he was a little relieved.
Nodding, Percy continued:
"Then I'll report on the current situation. At present, we have urgently published the results of the mediation meeting of the International Federation of Wizards and the chaotic situation of the French magic circle through the Daily Prophet. According to the latest feedback, except for A small number of non-stupid and bad guys, the vast majority of people support this incident.
For now, our Ministry of Magic has become the most popular among the people in the past few hundred years, and the people are even more excited and can't help themselves! Link, if you want me to tell me, even if you immediately say that you are going to declare war on the French Ministry of Magic, the people probably won't have much objections, but they will scream and come with you!
At this point, the first goal we set after the restructuring, to win the hearts and minds of the people, can basically be said to be a success.
The question now is, what should we do next? "
After speaking, Percy's expression has become extremely serious.
Because this question was asked by him on behalf of himself, old Batty, and all the director-level officials of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom.
Link's next answer will determine whether the Ministry of Magic will continue to grow stronger, or will it suddenly fall!
When Link heard the words, he said lightly:
"Then continue to improve the armament, increase the strength of conscription, increase the amount of training and treatment. You should be able to do a good job in this regard, old Klie?"
The answer given by old Klie was a hideous smile.
As a senior leader who has managed the Foley Family Hunter Group for decades, he may not be able to instill all kinds of ideas in his Aurors like Scrimgeour, but he has cultivated the Aurors and even the Striker troops to be fierce. There is still the ability to soar in combat power in a short period of time.
These Aurors and strikers educated by old Kled are not so much the regular army, but rather the cruel hunters in the regular army.
To be honest, such a team is a hidden danger of instability in peacetime.
But at this moment, it is what Link needs most.
"wait wait wait!"
Percy shook his head and said anxiously, "Link, do you mean we want to expand our army?"
"Of course, didn't you say that the people are in high spirits now, even if I start a war with the French Ministry of Magic right now, they will support it with both hands and feet? This is a good time to expand the army!"
"I'm just a metaphor! Do you understand the metaphor?" Percy looked even more flustered and said dancing, "I don't quite understand, to be honest, now that Voldemort has been driven out of the country, we in France We also won the fight. They won't have time to fight with us for at least 20 years. This means that we have won the victory! Why do we continue to recruit troops?
In my opinion, even our existing Auror and Striker units need to be cut back to reduce the budget to fill the gaps in other parts. After all, the previous victory was not what they were fighting for, was it? "
Link stopped and turned to look at Percy in surprise.
After a while, he sneered:
"Who told you that we have won? Voldemort has not died until now. How dare you say that there is no need to develop armaments? What are you thinking?"
"But...but..."
"There's nothing good about it. Weeds need to be rooted out. This is the most basic common sense. Our hatred with Voldemort and the French Ministry of Magic cannot be resolved. In this case, we should take advantage of their weakness to move on."
Link said indifferently, "Besides, who do you think you are? Don't you think you can really do it after being a committee member for two days?"
Hearing this, Percy lowered his head deeply.
Cold sweat was dripping down his chin, and his body was shaking uncontrollably from fear.
This is not only because of the last-minute warning Link gave him, but also because Link's words made him understand one thing.
The mediation meeting just concluded by the International Federation of Wizards is not the end of this dispute at all, but the beginning of another new dispute.
The reason why Link wants to expand his army is because, in the near future, these Aurors and strikers will come in handy!
"Hey, stop here, don't embarrass Percy anymore, he's a good boy. In addition, I have something to tell you, something very important, come with me!"
Mrs. Foley took a long breath, came up and pulled Link away, and waved to Percy, telling him to leave quickly.
This made Percy amnesty, continued to bow his head, and exited the castle gate backwards. He casually boarded a flying carriage and accelerated towards the Ministry of Magic.
The purpose of his visit to Forlì Castle this time was to report and hand over the work to Link.
Now that the work is completed, and he has offended the big boss Link, he can only go back to execute the order non-stop.
If he still hasn't completed the mission of expanding the army this time, then he doesn't need to continue to carry it in the Ministry of Magic.
This, Percy is very clear.
At the same time, Link and Emily were brought into a small room by Mrs. Foley.
Both Newland and Skeffen had been left by Old Clay as guards outside the door. From this situation, Link had reacted. Right now, Mrs. Foley was going to talk about something extremely private.
It's just that the information in the room right now is a little too embarrassing.
Because the expected conversation didn't start immediately after the door was closed.
There was a mysterious smile on Mrs. Foley's face, just looking at Link like that, while Emily lowered her head and hid behind Mrs. Foley, looking ashamed.
This slowly faded the smile on Link's face, his breathing gradually became heavier, and a conjecture was rising in his heart.
"Shit... Shouldn't there be?"
After a long time, Link finally couldn't help speaking.
Due to being too excited, Link couldn't help rubbing his hands when he spoke.
In Link's mind, this is quite possible.
After all, he and Emily are both young men and women, and they have always had little restraint on that kind of thing. Even if they were busy with work in the first half month, Link and Emily had nothing to do. Do less.
With such a high frequency, although wizards are powerful individuals, their fertility is much weaker than that of ordinary Muggles, but the chances of getting pregnant are still very high.
But this time, Link was too happy.
Because hearing what Link said, Mrs. Foley was immediately stunned.
Emily also raised her head suddenly and stared at Link with wide eyes.
"Link, although I also hope that Emily can have a child of her own as soon as possible, it is very regrettable that this is not what I want to say this time."
Mrs. Foley shook her head.
Hearing that, Link could only smile awkwardly.
"In fact, what I'm going to talk about this time is about your wedding with Emily." Mrs. Foley continued, "It's been a while since you got engaged, so maybe it's time to think about it."
Link didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Emily, who secretly gave him a blank look in response to saying that she was pregnant, and then lowered his head shyly again.
Link now understands everything.
This matter must be proposed by Mrs. Foley, and Emily agreed.
Since Mrs. Foley resigned from the overall management of the Foley family, her power has now been compressed within the Foley Castle, and she has devoted herself to the small family.
Gu Luo But how many things can the population of the Everley family have to keep her busy?
So, when she was bored, Mrs. Foley started to look for things.
As for Emily, of course she couldn't refuse Mrs. Foley's request.
But honestly, Link didn't think this was a good time to marry Emily.
Link sighed and said:
"Does Mr. Victoria agree to this? Or... does he know?"
"With the current situation of the Foley family, he doesn't seem to have any reason or courage to refuse, right?"
Hearing what Mrs. Foley said, Link sighed deeply.
Poor Mr Victoria must know nothing.
But as Mrs. Foley said, Mr. Victoria no longer has the right to make key comments on Emily and Link's marriage.
Because since Link officially became a member of the Ministry of Magic of the Kingdom, the two families' awareness of their identities has been greatly increased.
The gap brought by this identity cannot be bridged by any emotion.
This is evident from the fact that Mr. Victoria has not dared to visit Emily at Foley Castle these days.
At this time, Mrs. Foley saw that Link was silent for a long time, and then said:
"Link, you just need to nod your head on this matter, and we'll take care of the rest. Your career has grown to this point, and it's time to consider starting a family and relax."
"The problem is, now is not the time to relax."
As Link said, he placed a soundproof barrier around him, "You heard the conversation between Percy and I just now. To tell you the truth, it is estimated that we will start fighting again soon. You Do you think it's appropriate for me to suddenly get married and have a big wedding at a time when everyone is actively preparing for the war?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mrs. Foley's face finally froze.
She frowned and stared at Link. After a long time, she closed her eyes and shook her head in pain and said:
"The enemy is still Voldemort? Why...why can this guy never be killed? Link, are you sure of victory?"
"Of course!"
Link said firmly, "Since I can kill him once, naturally I can kill him a second time, a third time... until it is completely destroyed! The final winner will be us!"
Seeing Link's awe-inspiring appearance, Mrs. Foley's expression improved, but there was still a strong worry in her brows.
This is the sorrow of their older generation.
Extreme things turn their backs on things, just like the fiery fire he masters, the curse magic power in it will also become extremely holy after being compressed to the extreme.
This reaction also existed in Voldemort.
Voldemort has done too much damage to the older generation.
Appropriate harm may make people resentful, but when the harm is too great, people will only have fear and all kinds of strange emotions in their hearts.
"My thoughts are that the marriage with Emily is best done when everything is over and we have a complete peace. Of course, this must be communicated to Mr. Victoria and his understanding is obtained. And approval. Emily and I are truly in love, and we don't need and can't engage in that kind of coercion. You should talk to Mr. Victoria about this. I'm afraid that if I pass, he will probably There will be other bad ideas."
Emily nodded lightly, and Link could clearly feel that she was relieved.
Obviously, she thought so too.
On the other hand, Mrs. Foley's mood suddenly became low, and she was half leaning on the leather sofa, looking like she was depressed.
Seeing this, Link comforted:
"Mother, you don't have to be too disappointed. The wedding is just postponed, so it's not impossible. Besides, it's almost Christmas, aren't you ready to plan this year? I also want to taste your craftsmanship."
"What's there to do at Christmas? We don't have many guests to invite. In the end, it's not our family to have dinner together? But what you said makes sense. After all, it's a holiday, so we should prepare for it."
While speaking, Mrs. Foley had already left the room.
This made Link and Emily burst into laughter involuntarily.
Don't look at Mrs. Foley's lack of interest, but after listening to Link's proposal, a pair of eyes immediately lit up.
This is obviously duplicity.
And Link knew it.
Mrs. Foley doesn't know how to cook at all. As the eldest young lady who has been pampered since childhood, Link even thinks that she may not even know how to hold a kitchen knife.
Mrs. Foley will definitely try her best to fulfill Link's wish to eat her food, but the process must be long and complicated.
That's fine. Find something for Mrs. Foley to do.
Just as Link thought about it, Mrs. Foley's voice calling for the house elf little button sounded outside the door. It was obvious that she was going to go to the kitchen to learn art.
Now Link and Emily couldn't hold it in any longer, and laughed outright.
Then with a smile, the two hugged each other again.
The so-called Xiaobiesheng's newly married, even if the two people's days together are not too short, but at this moment, just as soon as they meet, Emily's face is completely red to the bottom of her ears.
It's not just that you laughed too hard just now, it's also too embarrassing.
However, just when Link was about to make the next attack, Emily suddenly pushed Link away, and then sorted out the clothes that Link had messed up.
Link frowned at this scene, but Emily said in advance because Link couldn't ask a question:
"I'm also going to learn from Little Button."
"Isn't it necessary? I said that, I just want my mother to do something. Cooking is a good option."
Link said and hugged Emily from behind.
He is so hot now, how could he let Emily go.
But Emily's attitude was unexpectedly firm, she broke free again and said:
"You can't say that. Your suggestion reminds me that as a wife, it is also a pleasure to cook a meal for your husband occasionally, isn't it?"
This time, Link gave up completely.
He sighed and said:
"You're going to make Little Button sad, poor house-elf, the only joy in working will be taken away by you two bad women."
Emily couldn't help laughing loudly again after being teased.
But seeing Link's dejected appearance, she stepped forward and gave Link a kiss, then put it in Link's ear and said:
"I'll come back tonight!"
The hot and humid aroma from Emily's mouth made Link's ears itch, and the itch was transmitted to the heart through the blood vessels, making him want to protect Emily with his backhand.
But Emily seemed to have expected it long ago, laughing and running out the door.
Seeing Emily's figure gradually disappearing, Link shook his head and smiled. The power of Occlumency spread from the top of his head, quickly extinguishing the fire in his heart.
"Everything has been done, so it looks like I have to get busy too."
Muttering to himself, Link calmed down and walked to the basement.
Putting on a robe specially used for potion making, Link sat in front of the potion table.
At this moment, there are all kinds of materials in front of him. These are all alternative materials with similar medicinal properties that Link found after analyzing the "Dawn Elixir" formula.
Although they are 'alternative materials', this does not mean that they are inferior.
In fact, because the original materials used in "Dawn Potion" were too powerful, Link could only choose from the most advanced batch of existing potion materials when looking for alternative materials.
This directly caused the cost of a single copy of "Dawn Elixir" to be almost the same as the price of a single copy of "Fuling Elixir", and there are many materials in it that are also treasures, and need to find another channel to purchase.
Link just sent the entire material catalog to Old Kled just yesterday, and Old Kled's efficiency did not disappoint Link.
In less than a day, all the materials were placed in front of Link.
"Huh—"
After taking several breaths, Link rubbed his hands together, put on the title of "Integrity, Loyalty, Honesty, Fearless Hardship", and devoted himself to the production of the potion.
Compared with material collection, this work is not really difficult.
The production process of "Potion of Dawn" is simple to the point of rudimentary, that is, continuous slicing, boiling, juicing, boiling, crushing, boiling...
This is the most basic method of processing and mixing, and anyone who has achieved a passing grade in the NWET Potions class can complete it.
Such a simple process, the great potions of the potions guild are probably reluctant to do it, because it is too cheap to do such a simple job~lightnovelpub.net~ Link also despised this book at first. The pharmaceutical level of the makers of Dawn Elixir.
But then Link realized something.
A person who can formulate "Dawn Potion" must at least reach a pinnacle level in pharmacology.
And people with this level of pharmacology, wouldn't the level of refining magic medicine be poor?
Even if his level in this area is really poor, wouldn't he find a potion master who can cooperate?
This is obviously impossible.
Then the reason why the production of "Dawn Potion" is so simple is about to come out.
The simplicity of the production process of "Potion of Dawn" is because it has been optimized to the extreme.
All unnecessary operations in its process have been removed, leaving only the simplest, crisp and effective actions.
This is not because the inventor's pharmaceutical level is not good, but the inventor's pharmaceutical level is too high to achieve the effect.
And this simple process also made Link's production speed to an unprecedented level.
It took less than two hours from sitting on the refining table, and the medicinal liquid in the crucible had already turned into the dark red product described in the recipe.
At the same time, Link also received a system notification.
