Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Connelly: (キ｀?Д??)!!

"Headmaster Dumbledore, why didn't you say so sooner!"

"Do you know that in just the last few days, we have lost more than half of the Dementors guarding Azkaban, and this may all be due to the talismans from Hogwarts. So, Headmaster Dumbledore, perhaps you should give me an explanation."

Dumbledore: ￣へ￣

Seeing that this foolish minister was trying to shift the blame onto him, Dumbledore was a little angry, so he said directly, "Minister Cornelius, a talisman is like a wand; it's just a commodity that anyone can buy."

"Would you really hold the wand seller accountable just because the wizards who used magic to do bad things used wands in the process?"

Dumbledore's words left Cornelius speechless, and seeing that Dumbledore seemed genuinely angry, Cornelius had no choice but to lower his stance.

Although Dumbledore was only the headmaster of Hogwarts, his strength and status in the wizarding world were extremely high. If he hadn't repeatedly refused the Ministry of Magic's invitations, it's hard to say whether he would still be the minister now.

Realizing his mistake, Minister Cornelius immediately lowered his tone and said in a low voice, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I was just speaking without thinking, but I was also in a hurry. Please forgive me, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Seeing Cornelius bow his head and admit his mistake, Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction and gave him a way out, saying, "Minister Cornelius, I understand that you also want to catch Black as soon as possible. At the same time, we will fully cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to try to catch Black as soon as possible."

"However, I don't know much about talismans either. If you have any needs in this area, I recommend that Minister Connelly contact Mr. Ye Feng. He is the one who created talismans, and I think he should be able to answer many of your questions."

...

"Haqiu~"

Ye Feng, who was in class, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.

"I have a feeling someone's trying to harm me. Could Dumbledore be planning to sell me out? No, I heard the Ministry of Magic is here, I have to go see." Ye Feng's sixth sense was undeniably accurate, but unfortunately, it was already too late if he went now, because…

“Is that Feng Ye? I am Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge. We need your help with something.”

Ye Feng: (キ｀?Д??)!!

"Dumbledore, you're a real dog!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Feng looked up and saw Dumbledore standing next to the Minister of Magic named Cornelius. Almost instantly upon seeing Dumbledore, Ye Feng realized that Dumbledore had definitely betrayed him.

"No, I have to find a way to get rid of this mess quickly, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will definitely not let me off easily after capturing so many Dementors." Ye Feng, who had been called out, walked slowly out while frantically thinking about how to get rid of this mess.

"Wait, although Dementors are guards of Azkaban, they are not entirely under the control of the Ministry of Magic. They can also go out of control. I remember Harry almost died from Dementors' drain twice in the movie, so..." Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt much more at ease and changed his slow pace, walking quickly with his head held high and chest out.

Dumbledore: [?ヘ??] (°Д°)

"Hiss~ Could this guy have figured out what happened and come up with a solution in such a short time?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" (Although no picture was posted, I'm sure you all have it in your minds (〃'▽'〃))

Chapter 150 Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Seeing Ye Feng striding confidently, Dumbledore immediately dismissed his guess, but sometimes things just don't happen no matter how much you try to stop them.

"I am Ye Feng. May I ask what business you have with me? I should not have violated any laws of the Ministry of Magic." Although he already knew the other party's identity and guessed their intentions, sometimes knowing but not saying is a kind of wisdom.

Although Cornelius was a little slow on the uptake, he still possessed a certain political acumen to have served as Minister of Magic, so he noticed something amiss and replied with a smile, "I am the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius. I've come to you to ask for a small favor, so could I... possibly take up a little of your time?"

"Of course, everyone at Hogwarts knows that I, Ye Feng, am a model student who always helps others. So, can you tell me what that means?" As he said this, Ye Feng tilted his head and glanced at Dumbledore.

Seeing this, Cornelius laughed and took the lead, saying as he walked, "This isn't a good place to talk, so Headmaster Dumbledore, could you help us find a suitable place to talk?"

A few minutes later, the group arrived at Dumbledore's office.

Perhaps because they were really in a hurry, as soon as they arrived at Dumbledore's office, Cornelius looked at Ye Feng and asked impatiently, "Mr. Ye Feng, I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore that the talismans that are selling very well outside were made by you?"

This matter couldn't be kept secret any longer, and Ye Feng had no intention of hiding it, so he nodded directly and said, "Yes, all the talismans sold on the market need to be made by me. I haven't found anyone else who can make them yet."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Cornelius's eyes lit up. As the Minister of Magic, he understood better than Lucius how much influence talismans had on the magical world, and he also understood how enormous a fortune they represented.

However, he was, after all, the Minister of Magic, so although he was surprised, he was still able to maintain his composure. Moreover, he did not forget the purpose of his visit, so he only paused for a moment before continuing, "Since you created these talismans, you must know very well what they do, right?"

"You could say that I know exactly what the function of any talisman I create is."

Upon hearing this, Cornelius's eyes lit up instantly, and he eagerly asked, "Are there any talismans that can directly harm or control Dementors?"

Ye Feng: [?_??]

Ye Feng looked puzzled when he heard the question, because he didn't expect the Minister of Magic to ask such a question. He thought the other party would come up and confront him, since the other party had come to him and even summoned Dumbledore.

Although the other party's actions caught Ye Feng off guard, he thought for a moment and replied directly: "Dementors are special beings that are somewhere between ghosts and inanimate objects, so ordinary talismans can at most repel them, but slightly more advanced talismans such as lightning and fire can directly damage or even kill them."

"As for some low-level talismans, as long as they are soul-type talismans, they can directly affect them. The most useful one is the Soul-Locking Talisman. Once you put one on, it will freeze them and then you can do whatever you want with them. Even if you dissect them, they can't move as long as the talisman is not removed."

Connelly: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Connelly was stunned when he heard Ye Feng's words, because he never expected that it wasn't just a special talisman that was effective against Dementors, but that almost all talismans were effective against them, and some could even immobilize them completely, leaving them with no power to fight back.

Why did the Ministry of Magic use Dementors as guards of Azkaban? Isn't it because Dementors can't speak, don't need to eat, sleep, or die? They basically only eat Patronus Charms, and even Patronus Charms can only repel them, right?

But now Ye Feng is telling him that anyone with a stack of talismans can defeat or even kill these originally terrifying magical creatures. How can he not be surprised?

"No, we must disable talismans, otherwise Azkaban will likely be breached soon once this news gets out."

Ye Feng: !!(o'?'o)

Ye Feng was genuinely startled by Connelly's words, and then he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Although he was nominally the one making the talismans, he had actually handed over the low-level talismans long ago.

Yes, Ye Feng stopped making low-level talismans a long time ago. At most, he made some talisman pens that were pre-engraved with some kind of magic array, and these talisman pens were taken away by the shops that cooperated with him after they were made.

After these people take the talisman pen, all they need to do is infuse it with magic and prepare the ink for drawing talismans according to the instructions, then the pen can draw talismans on its own.

Although each talisman pen can only draw a few types of talismans, and some can only draw one type of talisman, this saves Ye Feng a lot of time. He only needs to spend a few minutes making a talisman pen to take away 30% of the profits from the sale of talismans.

In other words, the business of making talismans is no longer just Ye Feng's business; perhaps some of the Minister of Magic's relatives are also getting a share of the profits.

So the Minister of Magic wants to stop using talismans, which is almost going against the entire magical world, since these things are really useful and wizards in the magical world have long been inseparable from them.

Perhaps thinking of this, Cornelius quickly shook his head and turned to the other people from the Ministry of Magic who were with him, saying, "Stopping the use of talismans is a bit unrealistic, so we need to make a change now and strengthen Azkaban's guard capabilities before others know the effects of talismans on Dementors."

Of course, although it was known that the Dementors' departure from the stage of Azkaban's guardianship was inevitable, the Ministry of Magic was short of money, so it was best to save where possible. Moreover, there was an even more urgent matter to be done: finding Black.

"Thank you for your reply, Mr. Ye Feng. Your information is very useful to us, but we are unsure if this information is accurate."

"I mean, is the effect of these talismans on Dementors just your guess, or have you... actually tried them?"

...

Silence fell over the room after Connelly finished speaking, while Ye Feng gave an awkward but polite smile.

￣▽￣

Cornelius: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

"You...you didn't actually try it, did you?"

"Gulu~"

Seeing the expression on Ye Feng's face, Cornelius was filled with disbelief. But when he turned to look at Dumbledore, he saw something even more unbelievable: Dumbledore's expression didn't change at all upon hearing the news, meaning that he actually knew about it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the highly respected Dumbledore possibly condone his students attacking Dementors and the Azkaban guards sent by the Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore: ￣▽￣

Cornell: ＿|￣|○

Chapter 151 Able to bend and stretch

Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death.

The word "emotion" is the most hurtful, but this emotion is not necessarily romantic love; it can also be familial love, friendship, respect, and so on.

At this moment, the Minister of Magic, who had previously held Dumbledore in the highest esteem, began to feel his world crumble when he saw the same expression on Ye Feng's face. It was because his revered Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Percival Woolfrick Bryan Dumbledore, was actually showing favoritism and indulging his own students.

Ye Feng: ╮(─▽─)╭

Seeing the ashen-faced Minister of Magic, Ye Feng helplessly shrugged. He hadn't said anything, so he wouldn't be responsible if anything went wrong.

As it turned out, the Minister of Magic was quite strong. He only dazed for four or five seconds before regaining his senses. And whether it was his imagination or not, Ye Feng seemed to see a hint of determination and self-reliance in the Minister of Magic's eyes after he came to his senses.

“Mr. Ye Feng, you are suspected of attacking the Dementors guarding Azkaban, so we would like to ask you to come with us to the Ministry of Magic.”

Ye Feng: [?_??]

Although the Minister of Magic's actions were not problematic according to regulations, was it really okay to just kick someone after they've served their purpose? Moreover, Ye Feng had already come up with a countermeasure, so he directly asked, "Mr. Cornelius, before you take me back to the Ministry of Magic, I would like to ask a question."

"Mr. Connelly, if I were walking in the wild and a wolf suddenly jumped out, opening its blood-red mouth and charging at me, what should I do? Should I stand still and not fight back or run away, letting it bite me to death, or should I fight back and kill it?"

Connelly: "Of course, we killed the wolf."

“Alright, I have no more questions.” Hearing Cornelius’s reply, Ye Feng nodded and returned to Dumbledore’s side, while Cornelius paused for a moment and then frowned.

"Mr. Ye Feng, you don't actually think that Headmaster Dumbledore can protect you, do you?"

"Although Headmaster Dumbledore is very famous in the wizarding world and knows many people, he is an upright and fair man. He would never show favoritism to a criminal, right?"

Upon hearing Connelly's words, Ye Feng and Grindelwald, who were also standing behind Dumbledore, immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot. Sensing the malice in Ye Feng and Grindelwald's eyes, Connelly instantly flew into a rage.

"Are you trying to rebel against the Ministry of Magic?"

Seeing that Cornelius was about to lose his temper, Dumbledore finally couldn't help but speak up. He took a small step forward and sighed, "Minister Cornelius, can't you understand the analogy Mr. Ye Feng used earlier?"

"What do you mean? You mean the Dementor attacked him first, and then he retaliated?"

"Excuse my bluntness, Headmaster Dumbledore, but while Dementors are terrifying magical creatures, they are not monsters that only know how to kill and suck people's pleasure or even souls. On the contrary, they are very strict and qualified guardians who follow orders. As long as no one provokes them, they will never attack on their own initiative."

Grinwald: Pfft~

Connelly: (╬￣ dishes￣)

"Sir, do you have a problem with what I said?"

Grinwald: "Sorry, I just thought of something fun."

Connelly: (▼ヘ▼#)

"So Mr. Ye Feng, do you have anything else to say? Or do you have evidence to prove that the Dementors attacked you first? If you have evidence, then produce it as soon as possible, otherwise once you enter the Ministry of Magic, those people there won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

Grindelwald: "Pfft~"

Cornell: (╬◣д◢)

"Sir, do you know how impolite you are?"

Greenwald: "Secretary Connelly, I have a very high threshold for laughter, so rest assured I won't laugh in these 'serious' situations unless I can't help it."
