Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

"I understand everything, Ms. Fox." His eyes suddenly became fierce. "Give me three days, and I will use this opportunity to catch all the blind people!"

"I can rest assured that."

Euphemia smiled with satisfaction, and Iaie felt relieved.

"See you in a few days. I hope to get good news from you then."

She stood up slowly and took out a gift box.

"This is what Lin En tried to make not long ago. I'm afraid it's not as good as our teacher's masterpieces, but it should be considered to have some commemorative significance. Take it. Goodbye."

The tall figure disappeared in an instant, and Yi Ai realized that there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

He nervously picked up the gift box, opened it and looked inside. He could hardly hold it with his hands, and his eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"Elixir of Life?!"

Chapter 576 The Future of the Fairy

The method of first striking and then giving sweet treats always works, even if the target is a shrewd person like Iai.

He was not unaware of Euphemia's intentions, but he had no intention of resisting.

With Lynn's help, he has become the most powerful goblin, and his incalculable wealth allows him to get almost everything he wants - longevity being the only rare exception.

Even in your prime, you should always prepare for a rainy day. This is the principle of fairies.

Of all the methods of prolonging life, the elixir of life is undoubtedly the most attractive, but it is more like a legend and needs to be taken continuously.

But even if it was just this bottle in front of him, taking it for the first time would be enough to add a lot to his lifespan.

What’s more, there is the sentence “Tried it not long ago”.

This sentence made Yi Ai think of many things.

"Hawk!"

After a long period of thinking, he loudly called out to his loyal subordinates who had been waiting outside the door.

The old, white-haired goblin quickly entered the house.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Find the best craftsman, use the best materials, build me a safe and put it in the deepest part of the treasure house." said Ie.

"Yes."

"Also, according to this list, the Elf Council must arrange to find the items listed above in the shortest possible time. The more the better - and take half of the money from my private treasury and collect reserves in my personal name."

"Half the money?" Hawke's eyes widened slightly, "That's..."

"Didn't I make it clear enough?" Yi Ai turned around, his eyes a little colder, "This is a job assigned by Mrs. Fu... Eric. What's wrong with me using my own money?"

Hawke's body was bent almost ninety degrees.

"No problem, sir! I was the one who spoke too much."

"Then do it, and have your people keep a close eye on it. Those idiots who turned a deaf ear to my words and dared to make money at this time will definitely not miss this opportunity." Yi Ai's expression eased a little, but his words were murderous, "Don't spare any of them. I'll give you two days."

"Yes."

Hawke didn't dare to say much. He just walked backwards and saw the exquisite medicine bottle on the table.

He knew that his lord, who would not do anything without benefits, must have received some important promise, otherwise he would never give up everything he had and even kill so many people.

But he said nothing, just pretended to know nothing, slowly backed out and closed the door silently.

"I also need to prepare a decent gift..." The spacious office seemed cramped at this moment. Yi Ai paced back and forth with a big frown on his brow.

Just as he was speaking, he thought of something else.

This bottle of elixir is not only used to prolong life, even prolonging life is just a foil...it is a symbol of status.

To be able to receive such a reward is undoubtedly a reflection of respect, but to maintain such a status, especially when there is an inherent gap between goblins and wizards, loyalty is essential.

He knows how to choose and is more clear about where to start in order to be most efficient.

Without disturbing anyone, he walked alone towards the treasury - it was a huge mountain of gold filled with rare treasures.

But compared with lasting wealth, power and life, these things are nothing in his eyes.

The goblin's efficiency is even higher than expected.

It was said to be two days, and in the end it was only two days.

The scum who enriched themselves in the name of cooperation were easily caught by Yie from top to bottom and then all of them were caught in one fell swoop.

Some of them are local tyrants with long experience, and some are direct descendants of those high-level officials who once competed with Yiai for the Speaker's seat. Now there is no difference between them, they are all just corpses.

The deaths of these people deterred those speculators who had noticed or were tempted to take advantage of the situation, and also allowed the new Speaker to establish his authority - although the voices of opposition in secret also became louder.

But Iai didn't care at all. He had a clear understanding of the source of his power, and he also had a very long-term and rational plan for the future of the goblins.

The countless precious materials, piled up like mountains and almost all accumulated by the goblins for thousands of years, arrived at Beauxbatons under his personal escort. As expected, the call of "Madam Eric" made Euphemia, who was originally very calm, reveal imperceptible satisfaction and appreciation.

It was even more useful than the materials he bought with his own money.

In return, he got what he had longed for - an incalculable amount of the elixir of life and the living legendary alchemist, Nicolas Flamel.

This was a sign of being one of his own, he was sure of it.

-----------------

Just as Ie was planning for his own future and the future of the fairies, Kodosdoriz, far away in the depths of the Caucasus Mountains, also welcomed a long-lost visitor.

Principal Alexi Rostov personally led a group of professors waiting outside the door. Minister of Magic Dmitri Mikhailov also came ahead with several senior officials. The scene was so grand that the young wizards returning to school talked a lot and could not even attend class in peace.

In the crowd, Fyodor, who had returned to being the professor of potions, quietly approached Dmitri, tugged at his arm, and whispered:

"Have you seen him lately?"

"I met him once," Dmitri said. "More than a month ago in Moscow, discussing how to deal with those monsters. This time, it must be something important."

"Oh..." Feodor nodded and stopped talking.

It’s not that he wasn’t curious, but because the crowd began to become agitated.

Lynn had already arrived, followed by a large group of wizards in a hurry - even some Muggles.

Principal Rostov and Dmitri walked forward side by side, with a happy smile on their faces that was rarely seen on other days.

"Long time no see, Lin En. I still remember the last time you came to school. It's completely different now." The old principal, who had experienced the lowest point in his life, was filled with emotion. "Want to go for a walk together? I also want to talk to you about the next tournament."

"Later, Alexei." Lin En smiled and pointed to his companions behind him and said, "Time is tight, but there are many tasks. I need to discuss it with you two first."

"Business is more important, Principal. After we're done, how about we go around with him?" Dmitri agreed.

"That's fine, but the necessary ceremony cannot be omitted."

Rostov also saw something was going on, but he did not insist. He waved his hand and the professors lined up behind him made way for a path covered with a red carpet.

This was a courtesy that even the new Minister of Magic, Dmitri, had never received before.

Lin En stepped forward, and the two hosts followed half a step behind him, one on the left and one on the right, and behind them were the guests who came from afar.

After a brief and grand welcome ceremony, most of the professors left to prepare for a full day of classes and various affairs, and a few accompanied the president to the conference room.

The two parties sat down and exchanged pleasantries. Lin En then told them the reason for his visit today: "Dmitri, Alexi, according to our investigation, there may be a gathering place of monsters hidden deep underground in Western Siberia, so I hope to get your cooperation and support."

"Monster gathering places...Are you talking about the ones that Victor sent to Moscow a few days ago?" Dmitri asked.

"Those monsters are the prototypes of those dangerous creatures of Leviathan. Some of them may wake up at any time. If they are allowed to devour a large number of their own kind, new monsters will appear."

Lynn's tone was calm, and the Russian wizards sitting in the conference room gasped.

"No wonder you came here in person..." Principal Rostov said solemnly, "What do you need us to do?"

Chapter 577: Tournament in Turmoil

Lynn did not stay in Kodos Dorez for long and returned to the UK on the same day.

He also brought back three agreements.

The Russian Ministry of Magic, Kodosdoriz and the Starlight Group will form a joint exploration team to conduct geological surveys in several key areas in Western Siberia to find hiding places for unknown creatures.

The Russian Ministry of Magic officially responded to the call of Dumbledore and the International Confederation of Wizards, participated in the preparation of the International Crisis Coordination Conference, and provided sufficient manpower and material resources.

Kodosdoriz will join the competition of the Inter-Continental Magic Schools Championship starting from the next session and will send observers to participate in the subsequent schedule of this championship.

As part of the bargain, Feodor also returned with Lynn - he even carried a pot of unfinished precious potion, ready to continue here.

In the castle, Ternera, who had been working day and night for many days, had finished copying the complicated prophecy.

In the distant snow and wind, Exum and his team will also begin intensive work.

There are also Muggle scientific expedition teams and geological research institutions that the Prime Minister is contacting and coordinating everywhere.

In those turbulent days, no one had time to stop and take a breath.

The monsters hiding somewhere waiting to revive are like bombs that may explode at any time. No one knows how many there are or where they will explode.

The unknown itself is a danger.

-----------------

Time passed day by day, and on February 2, the second day of the Five Schools Championship, which had been scheduled long ago, arrived as scheduled, but many unexpected changes occurred.

Except that the contestants are still these six young people, everything seems to be completely different from the previous game.

Several people were replaced on the podium alone.

Minister of Magic Fudge, Director of Sports and Physical Education Bagman, Director of International Exchange Blunt, and Headmaster Karkaroff of Durmstrang, these familiar faces have all been replaced. If Dumbledore had not been there, many people would probably feel as if they were in a different world.

The security team originally led by Lynn also underwent a major change - Lynn did not show up amid Cedric and Fleur's hidden loss and regret. Together with Euphemia and Regulus, and O'Connor who was arrested and imprisoned, the original team of five was left with only Inès.

Instead, it was Moody and Lupin, as well as Professor Ciel of Beauxbatons. Sirius also wanted to participate, but was ruthlessly rejected by Professor McGonagall on the principle of avoidance. At this moment, he was sulking alone in the audience.

But Harry was quite happy about this. After all, he didn't have to have close contact with his godfather on the field, which could relieve him of a lot of pressure.

As time passed, more and more spectators gathered by the tranquil lake.

The six warriors each stood in a position where they could not see their opponents. The huge Black Lake now looked like a duel arena.

No one was surprised by this. It was only a matter of time before they solved the golden egg puzzle. They were well prepared and were adjusting their physical and mental states at their respective locations.

Although it was late February, there was still some chill around Hogwarts, and it was chilly when the wind blew.

It is especially hard for them who are about to go into the water.

Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long.

At half past nine in the morning, Dumbledore stood up from his seat on the podium on time, with the Elder Wand against his throat. His deep voice spread around the Black Lake and reached everyone's ears clearly.

“Dear warriors and guests, I am very happy to meet you here again.”

"Today we will be conducting the second event of the Intercontinental Magic Schools Tournament."

"Three months ago, the warriors fought against the fire dragon and demonstrated their courage and magical skills."

"Now, they will face another test of their wisdom and their use of the environment."

"Just last night, the event organizers have arranged the content of the test at the bottom of this lake. I will not reveal their true identities here, but I assure you that this will be a difficult challenge."

"While facing external challenges, all warriors need to remember that you have opponents and each other - because the results of this round of competition are determined by the order of elimination. Whether hiding in a safe area or taking the initiative to attack, the warriors who remain to the end are the winners of today."

"Now please ask the six warriors to enter the Black Lake. You will have five minutes to prepare safely."

Dumbledore sat back down after he finished speaking, and a screen that looked like a giant bubble appeared in front of the audience seats.

The figures appearing above are those of the warriors.

The agile Krum was the first to jump into the water and rushed straight to the bottom of the water like a brave white shark.

Not far behind him was Cedric, who also performed exquisite human transformation techniques.

In another direction, Fleur, Harry, Kaliya and Hurt all used the Bubble Head Charm at the same time, dived into the water, and each showed their abilities and scattered everywhere.

At the same time, beneath the calm surface of the lake, the magical creatures that lived there began to move - as well as a large number of alchemical dolls that were placed at the bottom of the lake by Lynn himself.

With a faint light flickering, these powerful weapons that have proven their worth on the battlefield are like a group of hunters sharpening their knives, ready to embark on another silent hunt.
