Chapter 343 Beast Hunting Force

Chapter 343 Beast Hunting Force
Having witnessed Shaylin's magical power at Little Hangleton, and now witnessing Peter Pettigrew's transformation, the Death Eaters' faces showed complex expressions of envy, hatred, and uneasiness, and each of them began to secretly formulate their own little thoughts in their hearts.

Walton McNeill showed a flattering expression and spoke first: "Dear Master Malfoy, I am your father's good friend - McNeill, Walton McNeill, working in the Ministry of Magic, and I have done a lot for your father and the Malfoy family. It's true, you can verify this with Lu... No, Master Malfoy, I am willing to surrender to you..."

McNeill did not lie. In the original book, Lucius did have a good relationship with him. During the Hippogriff-injury incident in the third grade, McNeill, the executioner of the Department of Control of Magical Creatures, personally went out to execute Buckbeak.

However, that is not how things look.

In this world, with the rise of Schelling, the Malfoy family has become more powerful than ever, and countless powerful families have chosen to form alliances, rely on, and cooperate with them. However, McNeill still resolutely chose to show up at the Voldemort Resurrection Ceremony -

In other words, between the two, he finally chose the Death Eater camp that advocated "pure blood supremacy".

"Walton..." Schelling called McNeill's name with contempt. One has to know that according to the strict aristocratic etiquette of pure-blood families, this is very unorthodox. One must call him by his surname plus the prefix "Uncle" or "Mr." to be considered qualified aristocratic accomplishment.

(In Chinese, "叔叔" and "先生" are both suffixes; but in English, "Mister" and "Uncle" are actually prefixes)

"Although Peter Pettigrew was a coward, he still completed the task of helping Voldemort to resurrect—" Schelling's voice suddenly turned cold: "And you, you let your master wander alone and helpless in the Albanian jungle—it is true that you work in the Ministry of Magic, but you are just an insignificant executioner without any management authority. You say—"

"What value can you bring to me?" Xie Ling said sternly.

"I, I, I..." McNeill had never expected Schelling to say this, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

"I said before, what I need is not just loyal subordinates, I want useful talents!" Xie Lin's pupils showed a hint of coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "If you can't prove your value, you are useless to me!"

"Wait a minute!" McNeill, who was already a little flustered, gritted his teeth and said with a ruthless heart, "The Ministry of Magic has three major armed forces, namely Aurors, Striker and Reconnaissance Team. You should already know these, but you may not know that in addition to these three major armed forces, there are two relatively inconspicuous front-line combat forces..."

Xie Lin sneered and said, "You are talking about the Emergency Magical Incident Reversal Team under the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, which specializes in dealing with Muggles?"

The Reversal of Magical Emergency Unit is a team that specializes in dealing with magical accidents. Its main members are Memory Annihilators, who are responsible for erasing the memories of Muggle witnesses in order to avoid revealing the existence of the wizarding world and violating international confidentiality laws.

Of course, the duties of this unit are not just to cast the Oblivion Spell. Sometimes they also need to deal with Muggle armies and law enforcers, so there are certain requirements for the knowledge of Muggle weapons and personal skills.

They are also often called upon to correct the effects of potions or spells that have gone awry, often caused by inexperienced wizards who have not yet learned how to control their magic, or are not fully proficient in a particular spell or potion.

During the summer of 1993, the Emergency Magical Incidents Unit dealt with what happened after Harry accidentally inflated Aunt Marge. They removed the effects of magic and altered her memory. Although Shaylin had already taken control of the three major forces of the Ministry of Magic through Scrimgeour and Peasegood, he was still quite envious of this fourth force, which was currently under the control of Rufus Fudge, Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

This person is Minister Fudge's nephew and one of his most trusted confidants. He cannot be bribed by Schelling, so Schelling can only give up.

"Yes, the Emergency Magical Incident Reversal Unit is one of them," McNeill said with a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said tremblingly, "The other one is the Beast Extermination Squad under the Department for Control of Magical Creatures, which specializes in dealing with out-of-control magical creatures. I am one of the executioners in this unit."

Xie Ling was unaware of the existence of this unit.

This force was never mentioned in the original book, and Schelling had been focusing on bribing and winning over officials in the Ministry of Magic, mostly senior executives and administrative staff who held real power, while ignoring the existence of this fifth-ranked armed force.

Although I have never heard of this unit, the Beast Killing Squad, as the name suggests, it is not difficult to guess its scope of responsibilities just from the name - it is a front-line unit that specializes in searching, tracking, and hunting dangerous magical animals.

"Who is your captain?"

"Diggory, Amos Diggory..." McNeill said respectfully, "This man has some magic power, but he is ambitious and easily gets carried away. He especially likes to show off his outstanding son to others. We can use this to control him... and then bring the Beast Annihilation Execution Squad under our control..."

Xie Ling's icy expression finally softened a little, but his expression still showed no emotion. Instead, he said calmly, "Very good, you are finally still valuable... destroy the Beast Execution Squad... indeed, this unit must be controlled by me..."

"Master Malfoy, I am willing to complete this task for you, even if it means my death!" McNeill said anxiously, "Please believe me - leave this difficult task to me!"

"Well, considering your friendship with my father and the rare information you contributed, I will give you a chance!" Sherin stared at McNeill sharply and said, "Later, I will organize a riot of the dwarf pig monster - this is a terrifying dark creature that I specially cultivated. I will give you more information about this monster and the corresponding action plan... Just do it according to the plan!"

"Yes!" McNeill was so happy at this moment that it was as if Merlin's treasure had fallen from the sky. Fearing that Schelling might change his mind, he hurriedly replied: "I will definitely fulfill my mission and complete the task!"

"Well, very good. Let me look forward to your performance then—" Sherin paused for a moment before he said slowly, "There is one thing I want to remind you of. Diggory's son Cedric is still studying at Hogwarts. He and I have some friendship... As for Diggory, you have to show mercy. Just beat him to the point where he can't continue to serve, but don't kill him... At least let him spend the rest of his life receiving disability compensation from the Ministry of Magic!"

"Yes, I understand!" McNeill's heart trembled, and he immediately responded loudly.

Xie Lin remained expressionless. Cedric's friendly and upright face flashed through his mind, but he sighed inwardly - I'm sorry, Cedric, we are friends, but your father has blocked my way forward. Saving his life is the greatest kindness I can do for you...
