Chapter 51 Negotiation
Chapter 51 Negotiation
I know you never gave up. Mu Yu slowly stirred the remaining coffee with a spoon, "I know this feeling all too well." I've been tortured by Muggles. Of course, I retaliated against them in the cruelest way possible.
"I've been wondering why we have to hide and follow ridiculous confidentiality laws even though we are capable. " The secrecy law is nothing more than a compromise and concession on our part to Muggles. The enforcement of the Statute of Secrecy is a disgrace to wizards. "
Avidus trembled slightly, but he still listened quietly to Mu Yu's words.
"You know how fast Muggle technology develops. Since the time of Grindelwald, the last chance for wizards to resist is gradually disappearing. Sooner or later, Muggles will use their inventions to find our hiding places and catch us all. No one wants to see that day come.
Even though Mu Yu had hit on the deepest emotions hidden in his heart, Avides did not believe her easily because of her words: "Now, can you tell me which side you are from?" Mu
Yu shook his hand. He tightened the jade pendant in his hand.
"I want to talk to him personally, Yu. "
Mu Yu ignored Avides' livid expression for a moment. She once again confirmed that there was nothing strange around her, and added several phantom formations on top of the original shielding formation. Only then did a trace of black smoke gradually rise from the warm jade pendant. , the black smoke slowly condensed into a human figure in the air.
Avides could hardly sit still. He subconsciously placed his eyes on Mu Yu's arm. There was nothing on the white arm, but he had no idea. He still couldn't believe it when the truth was revealed.
He didn't believe that the man could be easily killed by an infant, but he didn't expect that it wasn't any Death Eater who found him, but a Death Eater. The unknown thirteen-year-old girl.
Tom Riddle looked at the panic on Arvids's face with satisfaction. He enjoyed this feeling of controlling other people's fears and controlling other people's hearts.
At this moment, the waves were still crashing against the rocks. But it shattered the tranquility of the entire town.
"There is no need to be afraid, my friend. We are here to cooperate, not to kill. Avides '
lips were dry. He had not fully accepted this fact. He glanced at Mu Yu who was sitting quietly aside. She just turned her head and continued to look at the scenery outside the window. A row of seagulls were fighting over a fish. At that moment, he clearly saw that the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised. She was not humble in front of the Dark Lord, nor did she look at him with enthusiasm.
Avides once again confirmed that Mu Yu was a madman, and was glad that he had done the right thing just now. Decide who among Merlin will be able to take the Dark Lord with him.
"You..." He had a thousand words to say, but found that they were all stuck in his throat:
"Swan. Mr. Start, how many people were in the pure-blood family in Grindelwald's time, and how many people are there in the pure-blood family now?"
This is a hidden pain for everyone. The number of wizards is already scarce. A few decades ago, pure-blood families were very rare.
"As the last descendant of a pure-blood family, Mr. Swanstadt, you are willing to let Muggle-born wizards and those half-bloods run wild on you," he said to him . The person always has such a smooth and careless tone, but every word can touch the untouchable pain in Avides's heart.
"The number of wizards is already very few. Even among the remaining forces of the Lord, there are many mixed bloods. " He looked at Tom Riddle with some uncertainty. He didn't know which sentence might lead to his death.
"Ni..." He glanced at Mu Yu, who was no longer looking out the window. Scenery was watching their negotiation with his chin bored, and he changed the topic, "Muggle-born wizards are low-ranking, but no matter how low-ranking their blood is, it is still the blood of wizards, and every drop of wizard's blood is wasted. We need a new order, a new class. Muggles and wizards alike have been comfortable for too long. Comfort makes Muggles develop greater ambitions, and living in comfort wears away the blood of wizards. "
This is not at all like the Dark Lord's style more than ten years ago. The last sentence made Arvids completely moved. A new order, a new class. Why haven't they thought about the development of their group of people in the past few decades? Gou Qi finally did something. If the adults were still the same adults, he would be proud of them.
However...
After decades of dormancy and decades of research, when they finally saw some results, Grindelwald, The belief in the omnipotent god in their hearts has changed. Repentance made him fall off the altar, but they still sadly clung to the belief in the past.
For the first time, he looked at the most powerful person in the legend. People are afraid of the most feared dark wizard. He only has a trace of his soul left, and those who once followed him have left with him one by one. Avides does not need to get more powerful power, he just wants to pursue one. Faith. Therefore, he must repeatedly consider whether the Dark Lord can carry his faith.
"I will come back, more glorious and stronger than before. What you will see then will not be just this piece of land in Europe. Avides
held his breath and looked at Mu Yu again. Mu Yu was fiddling with the small bag in his hand, and something seemed to be moving inside. Mu Yu lowered his head slightly and seemed to be stroking something gently. She He raised his head and felt Avides' gaze, giving him an almost innocent smile.
European wizards have been thinking about Eastern inheritance for hundreds of years. There are still more ancient civilizations in the world that retain inheritance. Either it perished in the Age of Discovery, or it has retreated to the mountains and forests without trace. Only in the East, the five thousand years of accumulation are firmly held by Kunlun Academy.
The wizards, especially the surviving pure-blood families, cannot resist the temptation of inheritance. This is the only way for them to regain their former glory.
There is also the heritage of a thousand-year-old family in the East. This freak was born in the Mu family, and she is the only apparent heir to the Mu family. She is right, she is better alive than dead.
They want money, the more the better .
Even if he conceals it well, Tom Riddle still captures the flash of greed in Arvids, and his tone is more tactful. Do you want to be a real noble, above both worlds? In the eyes of Muggles, you will be absolute gods, and in the eyes of ordinary wizards, you will be absolute authority. I have always been kind and gave you enough time to think about it. I can wait for eleven years, which is enough for you. "
Perhaps it was the disastrous defeat eleven years ago, or perhaps the eleven years of dormancy in Albania that made him more tolerant and better able to plan. Avides must admit that if the Dark Lord could be like this eleven years ago, even if he The picture is a big piece of cake, and he will lead the old men to follow without hesitation.
They can't change anything by themselves. Their decades of research have almost exhausted their efforts. Underground in Norway was corroded by glaciers.
He could try to take the first step, especially Mu Yu, who intuitively told her that this thirteen-year-old girl was very important. How could he not see the difference between her and the Dark Lord? There was an almost strange relationship between them.
He took out a transparent crystal from his pocket, and the crystal reflected a dazzling luster.
The moment he saw the crystal, Mu Yu's heartbeat skipped a beat. She was so good. Concealing the shock.
This is a spiritual stone. Spiritual stones are not enough to attract Mu Yu's attention. After all, apart from secular currency, spiritual stones are rare, but they are not that rare
. The pure power of the Dharma Vein was attached to a piece of spiritual stone.
A Dharma Vein large enough to benefit more than a dozen families was dug out from the snow-covered peaks of Norway.
An extremely useful chess piece.
"This is a very unusual spar that was excavated in the northern mountains. It was discovered by our people. We don't want other people in the wizarding world to know about it, but mining requires a lot of manpower and time. You know , almost all pure-blood families in Norway have never given up their former beliefs. We ordered our own house elves to dig. Some people were too impatient and pushed too hard, so something happened... First, there were several house elves from pure-blood families. The elves, and later some displaced house elves who had been fired also joined in. "
Tom Riddle just stared at Mu Yu with a very strange look, mixed with excitement and a slight defensiveness that he could hardly detect . .
Mu Yu had an understatement on his face: "It is indeed extraordinary. This is an Eastern spirit stone, which helps to enhance abilities."
She did not believe that Avides knew nothing about the effects of spirit stones. Even... they may have already made the most of it.
Before Avides could respond, Mu Yu asked directly: "What are the conditions for house elves?"
"They want to have a position in the wizarding world, hoping that there will be a place willing to officially employ them, and all labor must be paid." "
Promise them." Tom Riddle ordered in his usual high-pitched voice, "Creatures like them will also have their own uses."
Mu Yu pulled the brim of his hat to cover his hidden emotions: " House elves don't ask for much." She pushed a gold key with the wand, "Gringotts Vault 435, put it away."
No one noticed that her hand was shaking slightly. He hesitated for a while before releasing the key. This is basically all the net worth she can currently control. The strange thing is that this crazy gamble is not driven by fear. She pressed her chest hard, as if this could suppress the boiling blood in her chest. When she handed over the key, something broke. The heart that had been imprisoned for a long time and was covered with dust, the heart that held her true soul, was eager to break the rotten shackles of the prison and rush to the distant place that she had conceived countless times. .
Of course, Avides couldn't see her heart. He only saw his own reflection in the gleaming golden key, and regained consciousness when he saw the wand that Mu Yu forced into his hand. She was not only showing her cooperative attitude, but also giving a tactful warning.
She won't accept betrayal.
"Of course, after all, their conditions are nothing compared to the value of the spirit stone. No matter how much this sum of gold is, it can always slow us down."
"You already have your own answer." Tom Riddle is approaching. Vaders took a few steps, admiring his expression that was mixed with fear, ambition, and even a bit of desperation.
Arvides lowered his head to avoid his gaze, still maintaining an almost cautious respect. However, neither of them expected his answer that much. Tom Riddle gave Avides a meaningful look and re-entered the jade pendant in Mu Yu's hand. Mu Yu's jade pendant is an excellent material for nourishing the soul.
It was late afternoon and the sun was still high in the sky.
But no matter how long the day is, it will eventually come to an end. Following the never-setting sun is the darkness that cannot be driven away.
Mu Yu drank the bitter coffee in the cup and gestured to Avides: "You will tell the answer one day."
She walked out of the coffee shop without looking back, leaving only Avides. Si looked at her figure in silence for a long time.
As the sunset gradually burned from the horizon, Avides's brown eyes also became burning.
