Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Two days later, Mike took Franklin and Benjamin to a retro villa on the banks of the Thames in London.

This is the meeting place that Mike and the Muggle Prime Minister agreed to meet, and the two will have their first contact here later.

In fact, the Muggle Prime Minister originally planned to have a video call with Mike, after all, his own safety could be fully guaranteed.

But it was rejected by Mike mercilessly, on the grounds that it was insincere and an insult to him.

After another round of discussions, the Muggle Prime Minister finally decided to meet in the retro villa.

There is no doubt that this is the territory of the Muggle Prime Minister, and through magical perception, Mike discovered the security personnel hiding around and inside the villa the first time he came here.

These people were all armed with live ammunition, almost armed to the teeth, and the number reached three figures.

Mack guessed that was why the Muggle Prime Minister agreed to meet here, and the security gave him a sense of security.

He probably thought that so many security personnel could be easily killed even by wizards, but in fact, these people could hardly even bear a face-to-face in front of Mike.

In the eyes of Mike and Benjamin, the security of the Muggle Prime Minister is nothing but self-comfort.

After understanding the general situation of the scene, Mike and the three did not hesitate to understand the illusion of the body and showed their bodies.

The security guard standing at the door was obviously startled by the three people who suddenly appeared, and almost reflexively pressed his hand to his waist.

But in the next moment, he immediately reacted, and the three people who teleported in front of him were the Prime Minister's guests today.

Taking a deep breath, the burly security guard asked tentatively:

"Is that Mr. Townley?"

"That's right." Mike nodded with a smile, "The two people behind me are my friends."

The security guard stared at Mike and the others for a while, and then squeezed a smile that was uglier than crying, and welcomed Mike and Benjamin in.

This made Mike a little surprised. You must know that in the original agreement, Mike should have come alone.

Mike thought that these people would stop himself,

Unexpectedly, the security personnel in front of him not only did not refuse his request to bring more people, but even did not even carry out the common body search in the movie!

"Please go straight ahead, the Prime Minister is waiting for you in the reception room."

The burly security guard respectfully pointed out the direction for Mike, and Mike stared at him for a while with a strange expression on his face.

He had originally planned to find an excuse to teach the gatekeeper a lesson in order to give the Muggle Prime Minister a slap in the face, but he didn't expect the security guard to be so polite.

"What a lucky guy."

Mike grumbled and entered the villa, while the security guard at the door was stunned.

The interior of this retro villa is very spacious, and the three of Mike and Benjamin walked forward for a long time without seeing the meeting room mentioned by the security guard.

But along the way, Mike and others were not alone, because there were many security personnel hiding beside the various decorations placed on both sides.

I have to say that their hiding level is very high, and even Mike can't tell the difference between them and the surrounding scenery with the naked eye.

But all this is too obvious in the eyes of Mike and others.

Franklin even took pleasure in piercing the disguise of the security guards, which made the guards tremble one by one.

After a while, Mike and the others finally came to the living room.

In this spacious and bright drawing room, the tall, plump Muggle Prime Minister was standing alone by the window.

The footsteps of Mike's arrival obviously alarmed him, and he turned to face Mike, the muscles on his face quickly began to twist and deform, squeezed out a bright smile, and at the same time opened his arms and walked towards Mike. come over.

"Oh! Mr Townley, I finally saw you!" said the Muggle Prime Minister as he walked. "You are so young, so young!"

"It is my pleasure to meet you too, Mr Prime Minister."

Mike said with a smile, avoiding the embrace of the Muggle Prime Minister and extending his right hand.

The Muggle Prime Minister, who was dodged from the hug, had a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly readjusted his expression, holding Mike's outstretched right hand and swaying it up and down.

At the same time, he was constantly looking at the legends of Mike and others, and when he saw that Mike and Benjamin were all wearing light black suits, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Muggle Prime Minister.

He originally thought that Mike would come here in the iconic costumes of the wizards, just like the former Minister of Magic named Scrimgeour. Although that guy is quite formal, he is not a normal person. It's crazy to wear thick suits and woolen coats to meet guests.

But this is also a good thing. After all, the more normal Mike and the others behave, the more they show that their three views and common sense are more consistent, and they can chat more smoothly after a while.

Thinking like this, the smile on the Muggle Prime Minister's face became even brighter. He gently held Mike's right hand and shook it twice before letting it go, and said softly:

"Come on, my friends, let's sit down and talk. I specially asked someone to prepare the best black tea. You must try it out."

The three of Mike sat down rudely, but they didn't touch the so-called high-grade black tea that was steaming hot on the table. Instead, the Muggle Prime Minister was diligently arranging refreshments for the three of them, and said some words that had no yin nutrition, which was quite important. Chat with Mike and the three about the meaning of darkness.

Mike shook his head impatiently. He was quite satisfied with the Muggle's arrangement today, and he could see that the other party was sincere, so he didn't plan to continue fighting with the other party, and said directly:

"Mr. Prime Minister, this is the end of the chat. It's better for us to go straight to the topic. Do you have anything to do with us?"

"Uh, that's alright." The Muggle Prime Minister was stunned when he heard that, and then he rubbed his hands and said nervously, "First of all, I want to thank you for helping the people of our country before. Second, I want to talk to you about it. You have a good relationship. After all, there are not many wizards who are willing to help us ordinary people and maintain goodwill with us."

"Do you want to gain our friendship?" Mike said with a corner of his mouth, "Then should you show some substantive sincerity?"

"Substantial sincerity? Sorry, did you mean British pounds? But from what I've learned, it doesn't seem like wizards are short of money."

"Don't pretend to be confused, Mr. Prime Minister." Mike shook his head and said, "You know exactly what we want. Privileges, intelligence, supplies and military assistance, we want all of these things, and as a gift between friends, We will give you some magical props, such as potions or something."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Muggle Prime Minister and Benjamin were shocked.

The former was shocked that Mike had directly revealed the purpose they had originally set in one breath.

But Mike doesn't think it's a big deal. After all, he still has to tell the other party about these conditions. It doesn't make any difference if he says it sooner or later. At most, he loses some trivial benefits.

The latter is simply shocked by the superiority of the conditions given by Mike!

You know, due to the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, there are very few magic items circulating on the market, and most of them are things that have negative effects.

"This...this...Aren't you afraid of the secrecy laws?" The Muggle Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and said so, but before he said the words, he realized that he was stupid, and the other party was willing to sit I have negotiated with myself, an ordinary person, and I don't care about confidentiality laws. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you tell me what level of support you need and what level of magic items you can provide?"

"Okay, then I'll say it straight. I think you should also know that the wizarding world is currently in a civil strife, and another very terrifying wizard has risen from the dead, trying to rule the wizarding world again. Even get rid of all the wizards of impure blood, and even you ordinary people without magic power, so we rose up to resist.

There is no doubt that this will be a protracted and earth-shattering war. I need to win over all the friends I can win. I think, in this battle, you should give us unconditional support in any aspect, including military.

And I will give you appropriate assistance according to your needs. Like giving you some invisibility cloaks, or potions that make you luckier, potions that make you live longer. "

Every time Mike spoke, the Muggle Prime Minister's breathing became more rapid.

The Muggle Prime Minister dared to swear that Mike was definitely not a leader who was good at negotiating, nor was he a qualified politician, but what the other party could give was so good that he almost agreed without hesitation. , you must know that it is the extraordinary power that you dream of!

But in the end, the Muggle Prime Minister endured his own desires. He knew very well that Mike was not here to do charity. The other party would definitely ask for a lot of things while giving him such favorable conditions, so he had to be careful. Row.

As a result, a tangled negotiation began.

At this time, the Muggle Prime Minister, who was blinded by the interests, had completely forgotten the identity of the three wizards of Mike, and began to fight for his own interests according to reason.

It's a pity that Mike has no intention of bargaining with him at all.

Finally, after a two-hour struggle, the Muggle Prime Minister and Mike finally held hands again.

The agreement between the two did not change much, but there were great restrictions on the details.

For example, on the condition of giving military assistance, the other party has clearly stated that it will not use weapons of mass destruction for Mike, and will dispatch special forces with a maximum number of no more than 50 people with a small number of helicopters and rocket-level assistance, and dispatch assistance every time. Mike must pay the full cost, which can be traded off with magic items.

In this regard, Muggles are extremely stingy at first, but the other party has given great support to Freemasonry in terms of information and privileges.

All Freemason members will be incorporated into a special department called "Homeland Security" and can mobilize local j-party.

This means that every member of the Freemason becomes the privileged class of this gj, and it is still the most senior kind.

As long as what they do is not too much, the country will come forward to wipe their ass for them.

In addition, the national information database is also open to Freemasonry. As long as Mike wants, he can investigate any information of any citizen, including real-time monitoring and mobile phone location.

But in exchange, Mike must hand over magical items of no less than 3,000 gold Galleons to the country every month, and the categories are limited to potions and magic items with special strategic effects.

This condition is already quite generous, and it is basically equivalent to Mike spending money to open a super member in the Muggle world, and the membership fee is extremely low.

Mike guessed that the reason why the Muggle Prime Minister gave such favorable conditions was that he wanted to deduce the production method of these things through the potions and magic items given by Mike, so as to analyze the mystery of magic.

But Mike is not optimistic about this.

The two worlds of wizards and Muggles are so different. Simply using the inherent products to push back is simply a fantasy. Just like Benjamin, a potions master, there is no way to recreate Gleevec for the treatment of leukemia. In the same way, it is estimated that Muggle chemists can only be blinded by those potions.

In the end, Mike and the Muggle Prime Minister signed a magical contract, as well as a paper contract common in the Muggle world.

The duration of both contracts is one year. Mike originally wanted to sign for ten years. After all, neither the magic contract nor the ordinary contract has any binding force on him. The magic contract can even be said to be a one-sided contract. The robber contract of the Muggle Prime Minister, after all, there is no way for the backlash of the Muggle Prime Minister's magic contract, but Mike can perfectly avoid the damage of this thing.

It's just that the Muggle Prime Minister is not an idiot. He believes that his term of office is about to expire, and the new Prime Minister may not agree to this contract but refuses Mike's request to sign a long-term contract.

In this regard, Mike has nothing to say, after all, the other party's reasons are too sufficient.

"Then, wish us a happy cooperation, Mr. Prime Minister."

"Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Tangley, thank you again for your outstanding contributions to the people of our country."

After all this was done, Mike and the Muggle Prime Minister got up together again to shake hands.

Mike originally planned to leave directly, but after hearing the other party's words, he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, Mr. Prime Minister, I have another question that has been bothering me." Mike asked, "What we have done in the country has set off a big storm of public opinion, so big that the Ministry of Magic can't solve it at all. , I can only turn to you for help. But you calmed it down easily, how did you do it?"

Hearing this, the Muggle Prime Minister's expression was stunned at first, but then he laughed and said:

"Oh! my friend! That's too easy. In fact I didn't do anything."

"did not do anything?"

"Yes! No one knows these people better than me. Their enthusiasm for things is always three-minute heat. As long as you don't pay attention to them, their attention will be lost to other things, such as singer gossip, after a long time. They will be attracted away." The Muggle Prime Minister said proudly, "So, to deal with these selfish and foolish people, you just need to fool around."
