Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Chapter 165 The long night is coming

The wizarding world is not big, and seven or eight people died in one fell swoop. This matter cannot be hidden at all.

So the next day, an article titled "Extremely Evil!" Pettigrew killed eight wizards! "The report shocked the British wizarding world.

According to the survivors, that day, they were holding a dinner party in the castle of the Runcorn family. Suddenly, a wretched wizard broke into the banquet. He caught Runcorn and threatened everyone to join the Death Eaters, otherwise they would be killed. Kill Runcorn and their friends.

In order to save Runcorn and his friends, several wizards had to pretend to agree to Peter Pettigrew's request and let him give themselves the "Dark Mark".

Later, when Pettigrew was distracted by drawing the Dark Mark on everyone, Rasim Selwyn, the Auror captain who had been recuperating in the Runcorn family castle due to illness, happened to appear. He was not at the scene before. , the wand was not confiscated, and in order to save the captured wizards, he launched an attack on Peter Pettigrew, and the two sides fought a battle.

In the melee, Peter Pettigrew used his wand to create a horrific explosion, killing several honest wizards.

Pettigrew and Runcorn were nowhere to be found.

People suspected that they might have died in the explosion, and some suspected that Pettigrew must have escaped with the hostages.

"Master, look, is it okay if I say this?"

In the Rozier family's mansion, Murphy listened to Ansetus' report.

The latter has just completed her third interview with Rita Skeeter, and the Watchers and Aurors will come to question her later.

"Although it's a little deliberate, let's just leave it at that."

"How about we investigate Pettigrew's whereabouts and kill him? Although he is a fugitive, if he is caught by the Aurors and it is discovered that he has never been here, our excuse will be untenable."

"Pettigrew?"

Murphy shook his head, "No need, he can't be caught."

That rat has been locked up in the laboratory since he kidnapped him. Where could the Auror catch him?

"Yes, yes, I was worrying too much. With the master's wisdom, he must have already thought of a way to deal with it."

Murphy glared at him. Normally, the spiritual seeds he planted for these wizard nobles should be of the magical contract type, not of faith and loyalty, right?

Why are you so stupid?

"Stop flattering me. How did you do the work I asked you to do?"

"Yes, what the master taught me is," Ansetus nodded repeatedly and said humbly: "With the previous master's foreshadowing, the progress is relatively smooth now. We have already obtained enough votes. Counting his original share, There is an 80% certainty that Barty Crouch will be promoted to the position of minister."

"Well," Murphy stood up, "Let's fight for the remaining votes. Also, go and build a good relationship with Fudge and bring him into our circle."

"Yes." Ansetus followed Murphy out of his mansion, "But, Master, aren't you worried that Barty Crouch will rebel? He is not an obedient character."

"Rebellion?" Murphy shook his head, "He doesn't dare. Besides, it doesn't matter."

Not to mention that he had planted a spiritual seed magic contract for him, which would be difficult to betray. Only Barty Crouch Jr. had it in his hands. If he dared to make any changes, Murphy could abolish it at any time.

Furthermore, at this point, what if Crouch rebelled?

In May, Blue Queen sold two million units, and orders continue to grow.

The Umbrella Company stepped under its feet and became the world's leading technology giant, stepping on many veterans of the semiconductor industry such as Microsoft, Apple, and Intel.

Overnight, the world's leader in semiconductor technology changed from the United States to the United Kingdom.

The Americans are going crazy. They have exhausted all their damaging tactics in the past two years, including the anti-dumping bill and the Toshiba embargo. They have just sent Japan, the younger brother who tried to challenge its technological hegemony, back to his grandma's house, but he turned to the British. The bad old man jumps out to cause trouble again!

It’s not over, right?

Do you still have me as the boss in your eyes? !

Soon a group of people began to study ways to deal with Umbrella. Initially, they planned to impose sanctions on Umbrella in the name of threatening national security, find companies that provide key technologies to them, and ban them from cooperating with Umbrella.

As a result, they searched and found that Umbrella Company did not use the technology of any American company. Even its cooperation with Seagate was limited to the field of mechanical hard disks and it was also a technology provider. Once the cooperation was cut off, they would be starved to death immediately. Seagate has lost its cutting-edge hard drive technology.

The umbrella company can find a replacement company at any time, which will basically not have any effective impact on its business.

A high-tech semiconductor company has never used any American technology from beginning to end? !

This unscientific!

This is unrealistic!

Well, even if this is true, can it still be self-developed across the board? Instead of using American technology, what about Japanese technology? What about Korean ones? What about other European countries?

When the Ministry of Commerce came back after asking around, they came to a terrible conclusion.

Umbrella Company is a company with no technical shortcomings in the entire industry chain from chip design to production, to system research and development, to desktop terminals.

This is another Samsung, and one that is not controlled by the United States.

Americans are very puzzled, why do such companies appear in the UK, which has basically declined, and not in our great United States?

The Americans on the other side of the ocean are in dire straits, and on the other side, the British Ministry of Magic is also in turmoil.

Due to Rasim Selwyn's heroic deeds against Pettigrew, he was nominated by Barty Crouch as the new Head of the Auror Office, and was quickly approved by Millicent.

On his first day in office, Rahim Selwyn fired Kingsley Shacklebolt and several other Aurors.

At the same time, he was accused of abusing his power, arbitrarily arresting wizards, and being involved in and directly responsible for the "Anonymous" case. He requested the Wizengamot to open a case and the Watchers would investigate it.

However, during the investigation, several former "bad Aurors" refused to cooperate and clashed with the watchmen, which developed into an armed fight. In the end, Kingsley and the three former Aurors escaped capture and disappeared.

Some people said that they sought help from a famous wizard, while others said that they eventually fled to the United States and were preparing to seek asylum from the United States Ministry of Magic.

But no matter what, the current Auror headquarters no longer had the chaotic situation of the past where everyone was doing their own thing, and became peaceful.

At the end of May, the replacement of the Ministry of Magic, which had been delayed due to various chaotic events, was finally put on the agenda. After the final report speech, Millicent Bagno announced her withdrawal from the candidacy for the next minister and expressed her disapproval of Barty Clark. Rauch’s work has been fully affirmed and supported.

After her retirement, she was hired as a senior consultant by the Supreme Potion chain, mainly responsible for negotiations in the global expansion of Supreme Potion's business. Due to its irreplaceable and important value, Supreme Potion gives Ms. Millison more than 100,000 yuan every year. The salary package is 1.2 times lower than that of his ministerial position.

In June, after a series of contests, Barty Crouch defeated Fudge and was elected Minister of Magic with a high vote.

In the same month, the half-blood wizard Winston Robinson was elected Commander of the Watch, Alex Wood entered the Department of Magical Transportation and served as Director of the Floo Network Administration, and former Director Dolph was transferred to Director of the Centaur Office. Celica Wood, on the recommendation of former Director Fudge, entered the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters and served as deputy director of the Memory Cancellation Command.

At the same time, several Muggle researchers who signed the magical contract of the Soul Seed were transformed into werewolves. They were hired by the Supreme Potion or Wizard Security Shop and began to try to learn to live in the wizarding world.

The Institute of Magic seems to have become an incubator, and more and more people are coming out of it and taking a place in the wizarding world.

Hogwarts Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

Principal's office.

Dumbledore opened the window and took the letter from the owl.

"Thank you, Paulie."

The owl squawked, spread its wings and flew away.

Dumbledore unfolded the letter, put on his glasses and read it. He sighed softly, folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. He came to the table and opened a small drawer.

There were tens of thousands of envelopes neatly stacked in the drawer, and he put the letter in it.

"Is there anything to worry about? Dumbledore?" asked the portrait of an old wizard wearing a hat on the wall.

"Shakel was unwilling to accept my asylum and decided to try his luck in the United States."

"Oh, Shacklebolt. An Auror, it doesn't matter. But Crouch has become a minister. What are you going to do?"

Dumbledore didn't answer. He went back to the window and closed it. He stood there, looking at the setting sun in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside the window, the long night is approaching.

It's getting darker.
