Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

Lin En said in a gentle tone: "You are in a cooperative relationship. Victor will fully respect you and your team. I believe you can cooperate happily. After all, you are old friends."

Yi Ai immediately responded: "We will definitely get it done."

"If there is anything we need to do, you can contact Victor directly. Our support for our friends will never be discounted." Lynn's voice was slightly raised, and he was speaking to the goblin scholars and craftsmen who followed Iaie.

Judging from their reactions, the effect was quite good. At least there was awe in the eyes that looked at Yiai.

At the same time, there is also undisguised desire.

For a speaker like Yiai who has a shallow foundation, it is far from enough to rely solely on military deterrence if he wants to truly and firmly grasp power.

After several turbulent times, even many positions in the Fairy Council were vacant, not to mention those below.

Their desires are exactly what Iaie needs, and what Lin En hopes to see - a stubborn fairy, even if he can really obey his orders, is not so reassuring after all.

There are always some ambitious people.

Thinking of this, Lin En's face relaxed and he smiled.

"When I'm free after attending Percy's wedding, why not come to my house for a drink?" he invited warmly.

Yi Ai was flattered and politely declined. After several refusals, he cautiously accepted the offer and then expressed his opinions one after another.

The two sides were fighting back and forth, and the scene was quite lively.

In comparison, those special alloys that had just been scrapped and were worth thousands of Galleons did not attract much attention.

It is not the protagonist today, nor is it the real purpose of Lin En's trip. It is just an insignificant supporting role.

Only Euphemia took a look from a distance, and seeing that there was not much to recommend it, she looked away with disinterest.

It would be a fantasy to expect to solve the superpower that can analyze and replicate all magic almost perfectly by relying solely on the skills of fairies in such a short time.

Failure is expected, and returning empty-handed is normal.

What matters is not the result, or even the process.

What really needs to be confirmed is the attitude of the goblin.

For such top-secret research, money and technology alone are not enough to participate. What is important is to stand on the same side as the wizards.

No one understands this truth better than Ie, and no fairy is more decisive and determined than him.

The bottle of elixir placed in the most conspicuous place in his much-shrunken private treasure house is his attitude.

This is also Lynn’s attitude.

It will also be the attitude of the entire wizarding community.

So…it would also end up being the goblin’s attitude.

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

Lin En didn't stay here for long, no more than an hour in total.

After respectfully sending him and Euphemia away, Ie, feeling relieved, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He now had two more bottles of elixir of life in his hands, which he could use to reward and win over his confidants, or for his own use, as a reward from Lin En for his hard work over this period of time.

But there was more on his mind than that.

He knew very well that no matter what he did, there was always a barrier between goblins and wizards - they were not of the same race, and there was a history of thousands of years of hostility and blood feud between them. It would be extremely difficult to gain their true trust.

Whether for himself and his family, or for the entire ethnic group, he must always tread on thin ice.

In the heyday of wizards, goblins had only two choices: either become vassals of wizards, or be unwilling to accept such a fate and be destroyed by thunder.

He is an extremely smart man. He knows what to do and how to do it well so that Lin En can feel at ease.

"Someone is coming."

Noticing the whispers behind him, he spoke lightly.

Immediately, a goblin came forward and acted submissive.

"Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Weasley family in my name to congratulate the newlyweds."

Chapter 670 Appetizer

"He's been very nervous lately," Euphemia said calmly as they walked down the street in Diagon Alley, "anxious to show his loyalty."

Ever since leaving Gringotts, her face no longer had the look of satisfaction and appreciation she had in the underground vault. Instead, there was a hint of scrutiny on her face.

She certainly wouldn't let one or two names influence her judgment.

She was even more wary of Iaie, a speculator who was very good at judging the situation, than she was of Lucius.

Lynn nodded and stopped at the door of the ice cream shop where there was a long line.

"As long as we are here, he will be loyal, and he will definitely not outlive us. As for the goblins... time will change everything. They will realize this sooner or later. Those who don't realize it will be dealt with by Barty and Gellert."

He said softly, with a gentle smile in his eyes, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.

That's exactly what happened.

Looking at the long line outside the store, he asked with a smile: "What flavor do you want to eat today? Bring some to Doris and the others. They have been very busy recently and the weather is hot."

"Well... let's do it the same as usual~!" Euphemia thought about it and made the safest decision, standing at the end of the team.

In front of her were mostly Hogwarts students, and some children who looked like they were about to enter school.

The new school year is approaching.

Year after year, over and over again.

Under the influence of the Confusion Spell, no one recognized them.

This saved them a lot of trouble and worries, and also allowed them to successfully buy desserts to reward their disciples and return home.

However, this time they were no longer returning to the Violet Tower, but heading straight to the humble abode where they had already begun intensive preparations for the wedding.

As Percy's good friend and fellow stargazer, Doris and her friends had put aside their respective research and called on their friends to come and help as early as this morning.

This is a combination of work and rest.

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

"Mom! You can't be so partial!"

"It's August!"

“It’s still the hottest afternoon!”

In the chaotic Burrow, Ron's loud voice seemed particularly out of place.

Next came Fred and George.

Three brothers are fighting over the grim task of "clearing the garden gnomes".

But it was obvious that the head of the family, Mrs. Weasley, would not give in to her sons.

As the wedding time approached, she became more and more nervous. She turned around, waving her broom, and said angrily:

"I give you two choices. Either go to work now, or go to sleep in the goblins' lair tonight."

"I--"

Ron was about to say something, but he realized that Fred and George had wisely scurried away, leaving him alone to face his mother's eagerly awaited broom.

The result was naturally no surprise. A minute later, he stood side by side with his two brothers in the garden, sticking their butts out and starting to drive away the uninvited guests who were cursing.

The only difference is that compared to his brothers, he has a small bump on the top of his head.

But before he could greet the two disloyal guys with dirty words, a few familiar faces appeared around him.

"Harry? Hermione? And Luna and Neville? Why are you here?"

"How can I still watch you work?" Hermione glanced at him unhappily.

Looking back at the closed door of the Burrow, she drew her wand and waved it vigorously.

The garden gnome hiding in the vegetable patch immediately floated away, roughly several dozen feet away.

"Well, not bad." It can be seen that Miss Granger is very satisfied with the effect of her spell.

"...but Mum doesn't really like using magic against these little guys." Ron grinned.

From a distance, he saw the dizzy goblin, who must have fallen hard.

"Huh?" Hermione blinked, her face full of surprise.

Luna smiled and said to the rescue: "These little guys are quite interesting, aren't they? Let's do it ourselves."

"I think so too." Neville nodded. After more than a month, he seemed to have grown taller and stronger. "Just treat it as exercise. My father said that wizards must have a good physique."

Harry looked at himself, then at his two friends, and agreed with this - every day when he came to the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley would refill his meal at least three times with the excuse of "How can you eat so little? I have to give you something more substantial."

As they were talking, Ginny, who had just finished clearing the tables and chairs, came over and said with a smile, "Just like Ron, if he forgets the spell, he can rush up and punch someone."

The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, especially for the twin brothers who were happy to watch the fun. Ron himself also laughed out loud.

So they rolled up their sleeves and after a busy period, the goblins who had occupied the vegetable garden lined up and left in disgrace, and the crowded yard of the Burrow finally became quiet.

The sweaty young people looked at each other, no one could laugh at anyone else's embarrassment, so they could only point their guns at Percy, who was still working overtime at the Ministry of Magic the day before the wedding.

"It's all his fault!" Ginny puffed up her cheeks deliberately, like a fully inflated little balloon.

There were many laughters, especially from the Weasley brothers, and Ron was no exception.

It was getting lively when a laughing voice was heard from a distance.

"Who are you going to blame?"

Everyone was startled at first, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they found out it wasn't Mrs. Weasley. They turned around following the voice and saw Lynn and Euphemia coming over.

"Professor Eric! Professor Fox!" Hermione was the first to react and ran forward happily. "I didn't expect you to come so early. Wow! It's so cold!"

Before she knew it, she almost bumped into the paper bag of ice cream in Lynn's hand and was startled by the cold air.

"If you were slower, you would have caught a cold." Lin En said with a smile, and then greeted everyone, "It seems that you have worked a lot. Come over here, have some ice cream, go back to the house and have a good rest for a while, and pick a flavor you like."

Using ice runes to keep the ice cream warm was a rare luxury, and it also allowed the young wizards at the Burrow to taste the delicious food of Diagon Alley.

After a burst of cheers, they walked into the house together, and the expanded living room immediately became crowded.

The young people were noisily choosing their favorite ice cream flavors. Molly, who was cleaning the place, came over and said with a smile, "I thought you were so busy that you would have to wait until tomorrow. Now I have help!"

“Not really. The affairs of the society are handled by the secretariat and the board of directors. I just show up from time to time and act as a mascot like Dumbledore.” Lynn said half-jokingly.

"You're not that kind of person." Molly said, "I heard from Bill and Percy that there have been a lot of things going on recently, right? It looks like everything has been resolved smoothly?"

"Indeed, most of it has been solved. The rest is not so urgent and can be dealt with slowly." Lin En said, "So I hurried over here, hoping to get some dinner."

"He doesn't like to cook for himself recently." Euphemia said softly, "He has been telling me about your cooking skills for a long time."

The two of them sang in unison, making Molly very happy.

"I welcome you to come to my house for dinner every day," she said happily. "It's more lively when there are more people! Now Percy wants to live in the Ministry all the time. When the children are in school, there are only Arthur and I at home, and occasionally Bill. Sometimes it's quite lonely. It would be great if you could come and sit more often."

"Then I'll take it seriously." Lynn said with a smile, and then looked around, "By the way, where are Penelope and Doris? They should be helping here, right?"

"They are in the open space at the back. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared in advance, such as the wedding tent, drinks, flowers, etc. It's really not easy, right?"

Speaking of the wedding, Molly's relaxed mood tensed up again and she began to babble.

Euphemia sat down next to her considerately. "A wedding is certainly not an easy thing to organize. Let Lin En go and help his students? And reward them at the same time."

"You're really helpful." Molly said gratefully, "You guys were already worried enough about organizing another wedding at Penelope's place, and you can't just sit there this time."

"Percy and Penelope's affairs, Arthur and your affairs, of course, are our affairs." Lynn stood up calmly, "and it's just a piece of cake."

He looked out the window gently, and could vaguely see some traces through a sparse grove of trees.

"After all, we are relatively familiar with Muggles, so it is not that difficult to deal with them. Marriage is a lifelong event for young people like them. How can I, as a teacher, stay out of it?"

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

The Weasley family really put a lot of thought into holding this wedding.

The wedding venue was a huge white tent, and outside was a newly decorated orchard. Countless golden balloons were tied to a small tree by magic, and the messy lawns and bushes had already been neatly trimmed.

Under the scorching sun, the bride Penelope was personally arranging the carpet to be used tomorrow. Doris, Cedric, Pavla and Fleur were also checking and stacking the matching golden chairs according to the pre-designed seating chart.

Also helping were Andrew and Boyce, who had apparently skipped work. They were working a magic trick on the flowers wrapped around the pillars to keep them blooming.
