Chapter 493 Intensity

As soon as he returned to the secret realm of Freemasonry from Foley Manor, Mike couldn't help it anymore. He walked quickly towards the conference room and asked Zhou Hong urgently:

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I have set an anchor in Draco Malfoy's mind a long time ago. Now he is completely our spy." Zhou Hong was also extremely excited at this time. He rubbed his hands and smiled, "And according to him Judging from the feedback, Voldemort has now confirmed the function of the Vanishing Cabinet and is gathering manpower to prepare to attack Hogwarts!"

"What about the time? When are they going to attack?"

"December 25th, eight o'clock in the evening on Christmas Day. This time happens to be the climax of the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts."

Mike nodded and said:

"We still have time, let Franklin do it, we are going to start moving the disappearing cabinet."

"clear!"

"Are there any problems elsewhere?"

Mike just asked casually. In his opinion, his arrangement was already perfect, and it was almost impossible for anyone to have problems.

But Zhou Hong looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said a little strangely:

"Well, there's no big problem elsewhere, it's just the Muggle Prime Minister's place..."

Zhou Hong's voice suddenly weakened in the middle of speaking, and finally disappeared.

When Mike heard this, his eyes sharpened, he turned his head and frowned:

"What? He doesn't want to send troops?"

"It's not... it's just..." Zhou Hong looked weird and couldn't explain the reason. Finally, he simply pointed to the conference room not far away and said, "Anyway, I can't explain this matter clearly. Why don't you go there yourself? Talk to him, the double mirror is ready for you."

After hearing this, Mike stopped asking questions and quickly walked into the conference room.

There were not many people in the conference room at this time, only Benjamin and Penelo were there, and a huge full-length mirror was erected on the conference table, facing Mike's head seat.

As soon as Mike entered the conference room, he felt that something was wrong, because at this time, Benjamin and Penello looked serious when explaining, as if they had encountered some very serious problem.

"boss!"

"Mike!"

Seeing Mike appear, Benjamin and Penello both stood up. The latter looked guilty. She was the only one who had a problem among everyone's tasks, which made her very uneasy.

She was just about to come over and explain, but Mike shook his head, touched her cheek to express comfort, and then sat in front of the double-sided mirror.

Mike moved the wand in his hand slightly, and the image on the mirror in front of him rippled, finally reflecting the appearance of the Muggle Prime Minister.

It was afternoon, and the Muggle Prime Minister seemed to be enjoying afternoon tea. The changes in the double-sided mirror startled him, and he almost sprayed the tea in his mouth all over the desk.

"Ahem!" The Muggle Prime Minister coughed violently. He wiped his mouth until his breathing became easier, and looked at Mike in the screen with a smile on his face. "Mr. Townley, we meet again. We haven't seen each other for a day." As separated as..."

"Okay, no need to talk nonsense!" Mike interrupted him with a sullen face, "I need your military support now, will you give it to me?"

Mike's attitude was very bad, and Penello's aggrieved look made him feel extremely distressed. Although he didn't show it, he was already full of anger towards the Muggle Prime Minister at this time.

But the Muggle Prime Minister opposite didn't care. He continued to maintain that perfect smile, shook his head slightly and said:

"Mr. Townley is such a cheerful person, but there is no need for you to be so impatient. First of all, of course we can provide military support. After all, this is something that has been written in black and white in the contract, but the scale of the weapons you need and the I really can’t satisfy the number of soldiers!

You must know that you are powerful and don't care about the sanctions of the International Federation of Wizards, but I am different. I am just an ordinary person. If the wizards find out about this, they will just send a few people over and I will be finished! Maybe they will put me in that wizard prison called Avakaban. I heard from other wizards that there..."

"That's enough!" Mike rubbed his eyebrows and shouted impatiently, "How many people can you send out?"

The Muggle Prime Minister raised a finger to signal Mike to wait, then turned out a piece of white paper, coughed twice and read:

"A ten-person team, all composed of members of the most elite Royal Navy Special Boat Regiment, and equipped with the most advanced thermal night vision device, L119a1 rifle..."

The Muggle Prime Minister beeped and announced a lot of high-level nouns, which made Mike stunned for a while.

But he was not a fool, and he finally understood it after finally hearing it.

After all the emotional talk, the other party was only willing to send ten special scouts and nothing else.

Mike was really angry now, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he calmed down. He looked at the Muggle Prime Minister coldly and said:

"I want a ground force of about 70 people, including at least about 40 armored forces, plus 4 Savage helicopters and five Tiansha fighter jets."

"This is impossible!" The Muggle Prime Minister shook his head like a rattle, "I absolutely can't do this! Such a large-scale mobilization of armed forces will definitely be discovered by the International Magical Federation. By then..."

"Are you so afraid of the International Federation of Magic, but not afraid of me at all?"

Before the Muggle Prime Minister had finished speaking, Mike's faint voice reached his ears.

His expression froze, and he suddenly shivered as he looked at Mike's equally cold expression through the cold mirror.

Mike's words without any emotion made him confirm one thing, that is, Mike was serious. This kind of person who dared to ignore the international secrecy law to deliver potions and magic items to Muggles really dared to assassinate a country. Prime Minister's.

The Muggle Prime Minister swallowed, looked aggrieved and said weakly:

"Those are all the people of the Great Empire. They are the pillars of the country that taxpayers have carefully cultivated with huge amounts of tax money."

Mike rubbed the blackthorn wand in his hand and said impatiently:

"so what?"

"You have to pay more!"

Half an hour later, the picture on the double-sided mirror finally disappeared. After intense bargaining, Mike finally settled for 5 bottles of Veritaserum, 5 bottles of Polyjuice Potion, 1 small bottle of Fuling Elixir, and 100 bottles of Strength Potion. For the price of the healing potion and 10 sets of invisibility cloaks, I was able to rent the command of the troops I needed for a total of 10 days.

In addition, what Mike has only obtained is the right to lease. If these people and machines are damaged or destroyed in the battle, Mike will have to provide additional compensation. Of course, the specific price has been negotiated, converted into gold plus The pension for each soldier in Long is about 100 Galleons, 10,000 Galleons for the Skysha fighter, 5,000 Galleons for the Savage helicopter, and armored vehicles and the like.

At first glance, this deal seems like Mike is at a disadvantage. After all, the various potions required by the other party are all high-end goods that are difficult to obtain, and if the battle does not go smoothly, Mike will also need to compensate a large amount of supplies. These things may not even be available to Los San It would be difficult for the Du Group to get it.

But in fact, Mike felt that he had earned it with blood!

You must know that the manufacturing unit price of Savage helicopter has reached an astonishing 4.5 million pounds! As for the Tiansha fighter jets, that is even more exaggerated. Each one costs more than 17 million pounds!

To be honest, the Muggle Prime Minister wants very little of such a precious war machine. As long as he has these things, Mike even dares to touch Voldemort!

On the other hand, the Muggle Prime Minister didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage. After all, these things were all old things left over decades ago. I don't feel bad about selling them. The current Muggle Prime Minister, who has never experienced that war era, simply doesn't care. Instead of these things, what he cares about are those precious magic potions and magical magic props!

In his eyes, this is the future!

So overall, this is a deal where both parties feel they have made a profit, and everyone is happy!

Penello and Benjamin, who had been watching from the sidelines, were completely confused at this moment. They never expected that the Prime Minister of a country could actually look like he went to Portobello Road Market (a famous large flea market in London) to buy something. The old lady was bargaining with Mike with a blushing face! This simply subverted their understanding of the Prime Minister!

Mike, who had a clear view of their expressions, sighed helplessly.

Now he has basically figured out why Penello and Benjamin can't handle such a trivial matter that seems to him to be easy.

In the eyes of Penello and Benjamin, the Muggle Prime Minister is a very noble position and a leader worthy of their respect. This is also a shortcoming common to most Muggles. This may seem incredible to others. After all, the Muggle Prime Minister of the United States has always been used to scold him, and ordinary people are not friendly to them.

But Penello, Muggle-born wizards, were sent to Hogwarts, a fully closed school, when they were only eleven years old. After that, they could only stay in Muggle society for a few months each year, so they were not familiar with Muggle society. Their understanding has always been in their childhood, and they still respect things like the Prime Minister.

And it is precisely because of their respect that they are at a disadvantage when negotiating with the Muggle Prime Minister, because they instinctively think that the other party is a person with a higher status than themselves, so they dare not take strong measures.

This gives professional politicians like the Muggle Prime Minister an opportunity. Playing power and negotiating are their main skills!

"Okay, there's no need to be so gloomy, it's just a small thing." Mike waved his hand and said, "Next time you meet that half-bald old man, just issue a death threat directly. Don't talk to him too much. Talk about talking nonsense. Not his match."

"knew."

Penello and Benjamin responded in low voices, still looking a little disappointed on their faces.

But time was urgent, and Mike had no time to calm their emotions. After a few brief explanations, Mike took Zhou Hong and other people to teleport directly to the Avery Secret Realm.

Today's Avery Secret Land is very different from when Mike first came.

Except for some magic lights placed near the Avery Factory, all areas of the original Avery Secret Realm were dark 24 hours a day and were in a barbaric state. Normally, there was nothing there except for the worker ants who went to cut down the mushrooms. The creature is willing to go.

But now many areas within the Avery Secret Area are planted with the luminous mushrooms called 'Night Fireflies' that are found in the Queen Ant's nest. The light emitted by these mushrooms is light green, not strong but in the The quantity can basically satisfy human visual needs.

According to Benjamin, he originally planned to deploy magic lamps on a large area. After all, the Los Santos Group regularly dispatched adventure teams to explore for resources in undeveloped areas within the secret territory. However, this plan aroused strong opposition from the Queen Ant.

The reason is that the light emitted by the magic lamp is too dazzling and will burn the ants' already severely degraded eyes.

So, at the suggestion of the queen ant, the original magic lamp was replaced with a 'night firefly'. Benjamin was happy to see this happen. After all, the cost of growing this kind of luminous mushroom is shockingly low.

At the same time, the exploration teams that are sent out regularly are not free of charge. In addition to the magic liquid and magic cloth, there is now another gem named 'Black Ant Stone' in the Avery Secret Area. After testing, , this kind of gem is of great use in alchemy, and now the profits have even gradually caught up with magic cloth and magic liquid.

Of course, as a price, Benjamin invested in a new ore processing plant in Avery Secret Realm, which processed the raw ore mined by the ants every day.

After Mike came to Avery's Secret Realm, he first visited the mushroom factory and the ore processing plant, and then went to the queen's nest to prepare to discuss the upcoming battle with the other party.

Unlike the huge changes on the ground, the inside of the queen's nest has not changed much. Everything is just as it was when Mike came.

The queen ant continued to stay in the cave directly below the mushroom factory, and the surroundings were still covered with luminous mushrooms, and the stars were very beautiful.

But the hole at the top of the cave that was once used for feeding has been abandoned. Now the queen's food is carried entirely by the worker ants, and the food is much better. This is one of the benefits that Mike originally promised to the queen.

However, the change of better food was not reflected in the queen ant. Her body was still as weak as when Mike first arrived. Instead of becoming obese, she became thinner.

But this is not surprising. Most of the nutrients in the queen's body are used to cultivate a new generation of ants. Of course, she cannot gain weight.

Corresponding to her weight loss, the number of ants in Avery's secret territory has almost doubled during this period, so to a certain extent, Mike's business of raising food for the queen ants has made a fortune.

Looking up at the still majestic queen ant in front of him, Mike smiled and said:

"Hello, Lilith."

"Hello to you, respected master."
