Chapter 204 Not enough given
In the next period of time, Locke began to learn various more powerful spells from Dumbledore, many of which were knowledge of spells that ordinary wizards could not access.

The private collections that Dumbledore gave to Locke were all very high-end and not widely circulated magical knowledge, and they were all dangerous spells, which were extremely difficult to learn.

There is also a lot of high-end alchemy knowledge in these books, and there are even works by Nicolas May, which makes Locke gain a lot.

At the same time, Locke also had the opportunity to better get in touch with most of the professors in the academy and ask them about various magical issues.

Time passed quickly, and at the end-of-semester dinner, Dumbledore showed obvious favoritism just like in the original plot, and added a lot of college points to the protagonist trio in a different way.

Because of too much partiality, everyone felt uncomfortable, but Dumbledore seemed calm, and with his reputation, this pressure could still be borne.

Locke knew that he wanted to use this method to enhance Harry Potter's self-confidence, and at the same time better guide him to have a sense of identity with the academy. As for the effect, it is a matter of opinion.

Because of this obvious favoritism, Slytherin, who was originally ranked first in the house, was suppressed, and the red lion flag of Gryffindor College will be hung in the auditorium for the next whole year.

Snape didn't react for a while, because Dumbledore hadn't greeted him beforehand.

In any case, such behavior has also produced some negative effects, that is, Harry has become a thorn in the side of many people.

Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of Slytherin House tends to be arrogant and powerful. Many members look down on students from other houses and are more hated. They have drawn great hatred from the other three houses before.

So most of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs couldn't help but celebrate in the end, seeing the pesky Slytherin house end their back-to-back House Cup run.

At the end of the semester, in addition to learning magic, Locke also deliberately contacted a few people through Dumbledore.

"Mr. Scamander, this is our first meeting. I am Locke Lee. It is a little presumptuous to contact you through Principal Dumbledore this time..."

Locke couldn't help frowning halfway through his words. How could he feel that something was wrong with Newt Scamander, and he kept staring at him and didn't reply when we first met.

"Mr. Scamander?" Locke reminded, which brought Scamander back to his senses, and said, "Sorry, I'm getting old, and I often feel a little dazed."

"Why, I think Mr. Scamander is still in a good state of mind." Locke said a few polite words to the other party, and then he was led by the other party to the living room, where there are refreshments prepared.

After sitting down, Scamander said: "I heard from Dumbledore that you came to me because you have ideas about the magic materials produced by the Romanian Dragon Training Farm?"

"That's right." Locke smiled and said, "I have a potion shop and a magic material shop in Diagon Alley. Sometimes it will be delayed due to material problems, so I want to cooperate directly with the source."

Locke didn't hide his purpose, which couldn't be hidden in the first place. Of course, he said that he just wanted to cooperate, but in fact he wanted to monopolize the relevant materials, mainly to keep them for collection.

Now there are piles of gold piled up in his dimensional space, so Garen is really nothing to him. This time, with the help of Dumbledore's relationship, it is to have the opportunity to invest in the dragon farm, and even have the opportunity Get some dragons and raise them yourself.

"So that's the case, are you planning to cooperate with Dragon Training Farm?"

"Yes, if possible, I would like to contract all the materials produced by the Dragon Training Farm. I hope Mr. Scamander can act as an intermediary."

"The production of materials for the Dragon Training Farm is a big business." Scamander said thoughtfully, "It's not so easy for you to contract it for one person."

Locke said: "I have confirmed some situations before. Taming a dragon is not an easy task. It consumes a lot of energy. At the same time, there will be accidents from time to time, and the cost is very high.

The Ministry of Magic's support for the Dragon Training Farm is very limited, and it is not enough to support the operation of the Dragon Training Farm, so it relies on the sale of materials to subsidize the cost of the Dragon Training Farm.

If it is successful, the price is not a problem. I am even willing to increase the current purchase price by 30.00%. As long as it is successful, I am willing to give you an intermediary fee, Mr. Scamander. to do many things. "

"30.00%?! This is not a small expense?" Scamander was slightly surprised: "If you are really willing to offer such a price, I think Bill will definitely be willing."

The dragon training field is not so easy to manage. It needs to prevent the fire dragon from running wild, and also faces poaching by some black wizards, and because the salaries of the employees cannot be opened very high, even the manpower has been very tight for a long time. If Locke really If the purchase price is increased, more than half of the problems for Dragon Training Farm can be solved.

Speaking of this, Scamander said to Locke again: "But are you going to make a loss-making business?"

"Actually, apart from doing business with materials, I personally also have a lot of magic experiments to do, which may be consumed. For me, whether to make money or not is the second. The key is to ensure that magic experiments cannot be carried out due to lack of materials."

"I understand. Since this is the case, I think Bill will happily agree to your request... Well, then I will go with you. Wait a minute, I will first find an acquaintance to apply for the International Floo Network. "

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Scamander." Locke said with a smile.

When Scamander contacted someone and waited for news, Locke explained the amount of the agency fee in detail. Even though Scamander was not very fancy about money, he was very moved after hearing it, and his action power improved a bit. .

The two went to the dragon training ground in Romania very smoothly. Although they met the Auror who was in charge of the inspection when they entered the country, the other party only asked the Auror routinely and warned them before letting them go.

Next, with the enthusiastic help of Scamander, Locke met Gates, the current manager of the Dragon Training Farm. The contracting price offered by Locke was much higher than the materials they sold themselves, so after Gates thought about it, he quickly He quickly agreed to Locke's conditions.

The price given by Locke can greatly improve the various problems encountered in the operation of the dragon training farm. With sufficient funds, the dragon trainers can be paid higher wages, and at the same time, more necessary magic items can be prepared. , to deal with poaching dark wizards.

After the cooperation was reached, Locke chatted with Gates in private, and even got some preferential treatment to help deal with those 'crazy and hurtful' dragons.

In this regard, Locke can only say that no wizard can resist Jin Gallon. If he can, it must not be given enough.
