From Azkaban

Lucius nodded. Although he still felt it was ridiculous, it was his master who arranged it.

"Well," Locke nodded slightly, "and pay attention to the subsequent impact of the Quidditch game and see the reaction of the outside world."

After making the final arrangements, Locke's body quickly faded away. Seeing Locke leave, Lucius did not exit the magic network, but immediately contacted Arthur.

Arthur quickly came online after receiving the message. As soon as they met, Lucius explained to Arthur the reason why he contacted him.

"Arthur, I have already learned about the marriage from my Lord. My Lord asked me to preside over this matter with you."

Arthur, who had just come online, was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and looked at Lucius.

"Then I wonder what you think, Lucius?"

Lucius sighed softly and spoke helplessly.

"I don't think this attempt is a good idea. It's a foolish attempt. I think it's better to take it as a first step for our Round Table to get closer to the UMNO Party than an experiment."

To be honest, apart from this, Lucius could not see any other benefits of this marriage.

"Well...I agree with your idea. Actually, I don't have any hope for this matter, but you know, this is something arranged by the adults, and I can't refuse it."

Arthur hesitated for two seconds and nodded, with a helpless expression on his face. Although Locke said that this matter would not be forced, who would dare to take it seriously?

Just like Charlie who said he volunteered, did he really volunteer? Of course not, that was just the result of him losing the lottery with Bill, so he had to "volunteer".

"Alas, this is really difficult for Charlie. This matter is entirely due to Grindelwald. The adults are too busy, so he took advantage of the opportunity."

Lucius expressed his sympathy. As the Weasley and Malfoy families were solid allies, he naturally could not act like he was gloating.

"I think so too. If you are really determined to solve this problem, you will definitely not use this method."

Lucius's idea coincided with Arthur's. To be honest, it was not that the two of them were too fanatical in their worship of Locke, but because the foundation laid by Locke before was too strong.

If you count everything Locke had done before, each one of them was something that the wizards had never thought of before, but they were all accomplished by Locke with his own wisdom and ability.

Not to mention that Locke has never stopped learning because of his own achievements, so no matter how you look at it, this unwise behavior of taking chances is obviously not in line with Locke's style.

In addition, when Locke informed Lucius and Arthur of this matter, he also made it clear that it was Grindelwald who took the initiative to propose this matter, which made Lucius and Arthur more certain of their opinions.

"Okay, there's no point in talking about this, let's finalize the arrangements for the rest of the day."

Shaking his head slightly, Lucius materialized two chairs and a table, gestured for Arthur to sit down and spoke.

...........................

After handing the marriage matter over to Lucius and others, Locke took the two old men to continue his research.

It just so happens that students are on vacation during this period and don’t have to attend classes.

While the three were busy, various changes were happening little by little in the outside world.

After one night and half a day on Christmas Eve, news about the Quidditch game on the Magic Network has gradually been posted on the pages of magic circles in various countries.

At the same time, members of the Round Table Councils in various countries were returning to Britain one after another, bringing with them the Muggle talents they had come into contact with.

Volume 1: Chapter 191 Everything is moving forward

"What is Magic Network Quidditch? I don't believe there is such a thing. These newspapers are really good. They will come up with any gimmick to increase sales."

"And this magic web? The description in the newspaper is simply an insult to my intelligence. If there really is such a thing, why doesn't the Ministry of Magic introduce it? In the final analysis, it must be just a false rumor."

In Interlaken, Switzerland, the magic community here was one of the first to receive the news, so the news was published in today's newspapers as soon as possible.

At this time, a wizard standing on the roadside reading a newspaper was looking at the headlines with a look of doubt, and expressed his thoughts loudly to his companions beside him.

And just behind this wizard, Mani Pods, who had just returned from Japan and was about to return to England using the portkey here, stopped after hearing these words.

"It's all been transmitted here, it's so fast."

As a member of the Round Table, Marny Pods naturally knew about the Quidditch match held in the Magic Network yesterday. Not only did he know about it, he also went to watch it.

Regarding the Magic Network Quidditch, Manny Pods had the same opinion as all the viewers who watched it in person, that it was far from comparable to the original Quidditch.

Of course, Mani Pods was not angry when he heard the wizard's words. On the contrary, he looked at the man with sympathy in his eyes.

In his opinion, these backward and decadent wizards are pathetic. Their previous lives have undoubtedly been wasted in stupidity and ignorance. That is why they say such unwise words after personally touching the brilliance emitted by the adults.

Mani Pods believed that when the wizard really came into contact with the magic network and truly felt the glory of the adults, he would understand how ignorant his words were today.

So he was not angry or furious because of the wizard's words. On the contrary, what he wanted to do at this moment was to buy a newspaper and see how it was reported here.

Mani Pods picked up the box in his hand, thought for a few seconds, turned around and walked towards the magic grocery store on the side of the road, and bought a copy of today's newspaper from there.

Daily Magic

This is the newspaper that Mani Pods bought the newspaper from. He didn't have much impression of this newspaper, and of course, his attention was not on it.

Unfolding the newspaper, Mani Pods' eyes quickly scanned the newspaper and soon locked onto the relevant reports that occupied a quarter of the page.

"Quidditch Innovation? The Difference Between Leyline Quidditch and Traditional Quidditch"

The big headline was concise and clear. Mani Pods quickly read the detailed report and found that the report of this newspaper was fair and some of the information was basically accurate. It seemed that the newspaper had carefully collected the corresponding information.

"Not bad, not bad, the report is good. This newspaper should pay attention to it and maybe absorb it in the future."

With a smile on his face, Mani Pods folded the newspaper and put it into the inside pocket of his clothes. Without further delay, he left the place briskly and headed for the agreed location.

Manny Pods's situation was not an isolated case, because this period of time happened to coincide with the time when all the members of the Round Table Council returned to the UK, so many members encountered similar situations in the wizarding circles of various countries close to the UK.

Of course, in addition to the reason of these members returning in large numbers, the occurrence of this situation also shows how enthusiastic this matter is within the magical circles of various countries.

After all, one thing can be said to be luck, and the other thing can only be that many people in these places are discussing this matter in the streets and alleys, which is why many members have encountered similar situations.

The discussions in the wizarding world of each country had different opinions and stances. Some wizards believed the reports in the newspapers and thought it was a good thing. They were very much looking forward to such Quidditch matches and also developed a strong interest in the Magic Network.

But some wizards think that this is nonsense, and the magic network and the new Quidditch are just made up by newspapers.

At the same time, there are some wizards who believe in the existence of the Weave but are unwilling to accept Weave Quidditch.

They generally believe that this kind of confrontation in the magic network completely violates the core concept of Quidditch, and that this change is killing the Quidditch game.

Differences in opinions will naturally lead to debates and topics, and with debates and topics, the heat of this matter will gradually increase.

This is undoubtedly the situation that Locke wants to see most, although he doesn't know it now.

However, no matter how heatedly these wizards discuss, they cannot have any impact on the general trend. The future of change is already coming step by step.

Of course, when the outside world was gradually becoming lively, the wizarding worlds of Britain and France, which were the center of the incident, had already become bustling.

Most of the wizards from the two countries' magic world logged on to the Magic Network to watch the game yesterday. As eyewitnesses, they are the most qualified group of people to speak, and these wizards have very consistent opinions, which is to call their friends as soon as possible and go in to experience it themselves.

It just so happened that those days were Christmas, and almost all wizards were on holiday, so they had all the free time, so in just half a day, a large number of amateur and non-professional teams appeared.

Strike while the iron is hot, Magic Network Company, which received Locke's instructions, also began to release news as planned, warming up the news that it would hold entertainment competitions and open rankings in the future.

As for professional competitions, Locke is not planning to release the news for the time being. The reason is very simple. The popularity of Quidditch has not yet spread to the whole world.

Only when the Magic Network Quidditch enters the vision of wizards around the world and is accepted and expected, then it will be time for Locke to hold professional Quidditch competitions.

Of course, before that, Locke would ask people to contact professional Quidditch teams from various countries in advance, negotiate with each team, and let them enter the magic network to familiarize themselves with the training before the game.

A situation similar to the little wizards before, where they only knew the rules and various characteristics of the competition venue before the game started, must not occur in professional competitions.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner. Many wizards from the magic world of Britain and France have begun to log in to the Magic Network to practice with the expectation of entertainment competitions, and the Magic Network Company is also finalizing the final conditions with each company and store.

Lucius, who had arranged everything early, withdrew from the magic network after discussing things with Arthur, and spent the holiday with his wife and son.

Outside the wizarding world, at 444 Lily Street, Stone Town District, Manchester, this is Hermione's home. Because Christmas is approaching, there are all kinds of festive decorations outside the door.

Inside the house, Hermione, who can completely ignore the ban of the Ministry of Magic because of her status as a member of the Locke Club, is using her wand to perform magic to help her parents decorate the house, while also showing her parents the magic she has learned.

Volume 1: Chapter 192: Acceleration

Time passed quickly, and at the Christmas dinner, Locke relaxed for the first time in a long time.

The next day, the first day after Christmas, Locke left Hogwarts early and came to Knockturn Alley.

"It's already more than 70% full, which is good. At this rate of development, it won't be long before we can expand it a second time."

Walking on Knockturn Alley, or the streets of Camelot, Locke, who was wearing a layer of magic that made him feel his presence, looked at the wizards and shops passing by on the street with satisfaction.

"The flow of people in the lower city is almost 50%, which is not a small amount. When Muggles are introduced in the future, the remaining capacity will probably be filled up soon."

Locke walked through the streets and alleys, moving towards the central tower via the most appropriate route while carefully observing everything he saw.

After all, everything was created by him. It feels good to take some time to take a look at it from time to time.

Although the feeling of seeing the changes he brought about being accepted and recognized by the public and bringing a different direction to the world is not as good as making progress on the path of magic, it also makes Locke happy.

Just as Locke was observing along the way, on the top floor of the central building, Lucius, who had come here early today to handle business, was issuing orders quickly.

Because Locke did not hide his reason from Skynet after he came in, Lucius received a reminder from Skynet the moment he walked into Knockturn Alley.

Although Lucius didn't know where Locke was now, he was certain that Lord Casiel was about to arrive.

"Quick! Go and bring the three Muggles still in the magic network here, and notify them to gather at the gate to prepare to welcome the adults!"

Locke hadn't been to Camelot for a long time. At this moment, Lucius was asking Skynet to compile a summary of recent affairs. At the same time, he was also operating Skynet by accelerating the magic network.

"Draco, you come down first and take those three Muggles with you." Lucius spoke very quickly.

"I understand, father," Draco, who had been standing nearby, nodded and turned to walk out of the central control room. As soon as he walked out, he met Amandine and the other two who were hurriedly called out of the room.

"You three follow me."

There was no need for introduction. Just by looking at the expressions on the three people's faces and the two ordinary members of the parliament following them, Draco guessed their identities and immediately motioned for them to follow him.

"This..." Looking at the noble little boy, Amandine, who was walking in front, looked at the female wizard on her body with hesitation.

"Mr. Malfoy, is this Mr. Lucius's arrangement?"

The witch being watched by Amandine looked at Draco. She did not hand him over casually just because Draco was Lucius' son. Instead, she asked him seriously.

"Yes, this is my father's arrangement. You can go in and ask him now. I'll be waiting for you here."

Draco was not overbearing, nor did he think there was anything wrong with the witch's question.

Long before he came, Lucius had emphasized to him that there was only one adult in the Round Table Council, and the others were all colleagues. The only difference was in ability and position, and there was no one superior to anyone else.

"Then please wait a moment," the witch nodded, and really walked into the central control room and asked Lucius. After more than ten seconds, the witch walked out of the control room.

"Three of you, please follow Mr. Malfoy down from now on."

After saying this, the witch nodded to another witch beside her, and the two of them left quickly.

"let's go."

Draco raised his hand and waved at the three people, then turned and walked towards the disc elevator. Seeing this, the three people hurriedly followed.

Through the brief conversation between Draco and the witch just now, the three of them have already understood that the noble child in front of them is Mr. Lucius's son.

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at Draco with much more enthusiasm. After all, compared with the situation in the Muggle world, the identity of this young Mr. Malfoy was very noble.

After experiencing the magic of the magic net, the three of them had more ideas in their minds, but such ideas needed support, and now, it seemed that there was an opportunity in front of them.

"Mr. Malfoy, may I ask what we are going to do?"

Because Draco was a child, the three of them couldn't help but feel more relaxed, and Amandine was the first to ask.

The three of them were hurriedly called out of the magic net, and then taken outside the central control room without knowing anything.

Originally, Amandine was wondering if Mr. Lucius had something to ask them, but now it seems that it is not what she thought.

"My teacher is coming, and we are going to greet him."

In response to Amandine's question, Draco did not hide anything and told her the answer. He also told the other two people at the same time to avoid the three of them making a fool of themselves by not knowing anything.

But after saying this, Draco realized that he shouldn't have said that. After all, these three were Muggles, and they didn't know who their teacher was, so he had to say it in a different way.

"My teacher is the only adult in the Round Table Council and the creator of the Round Table Council."

The three people who were speechless about Draco's expression and wondering how he knew who his teacher was suddenly widened their eyes when they heard this.

The next moment, the three people's eyes changed again when they looked at Draco. Instead of becoming stronger, the original thoughts in their minds were restrained at once.

The three of them put aside their thoughts and followed Draco to the first floor door, only to find that hundreds of wizards had already gathered there, all standing outside the door in an orderly and silent manner, waiting.

Seeing this, Draco was not at all nervous. He walked quickly to the front with Amandine and the other two. After a while, Lucius also came down.

While everyone was waiting, Locke crossed the last street and walked into the central area where there were no shops or buildings.

"It's much faster than I expected. I originally thought it would take a year, but now it seems that in less than a year, this place will become a real world center."

Locke walked at a leisurely pace. Camelot's development speed exceeded his expectations, which allowed him to advance another arrangement.

"The introduction of Muggles must be accelerated. After this Christmas, the arrangements for the Muggles can no longer be placed as they are now. We must allocate some focus to speed up the advancement over there."

This period of time is a short transition period, and some things will not have immediate results once they are done, so Locke is also waiting patiently.
