Chapter 661
"Of course, please." Mycroft has great power and can even represent Britain sometimes.
Therefore, the Prime Minister also gave him enough respect. After all, he will change the Prime Minister in a few years, but Mycroft is permanent.
"Did you know?" the Prime Minister picked up the piece of wood and said to himself, "When I was little, my mother would tell me stories about wizards."
"Yes, witch, Snow White's stepmother." A hint of impatience flashed in Mycroft's eyes.
After all, such stories are almost universally known in Europe.
He didn't want to know what story the Prime Minister's dear mother told.
"Wizards have magic. With a wave of their hands, they can make people fall asleep and so on." The Prime Minister put down the piece of wood and suddenly asked, "Do you remember my tall black assistant?"
"The tall dark man? Kingsley Shacklebolt?" Mycroft has an amazing memory and he immediately remembered who he was. "He resigned a few years ago?"
"Yes, it's him."
The Prime Minister sat in front of Mycroft, his fingers crossed on the table, and his thumbs rubbed together.
"Do you believe in magic? I mean... wizards."
He looked at Mycroft, who looked at the Prime Minister, and laughed ridiculously: "You don't want to tell me that Shacklebolt is a wizard, do you?"
"Yes," the Prime Minister looked at the door and said, "You may find it ridiculous, but every Prime Minister will come into contact with some wizards."
"So?" Mycroft asked, accepting the impact of the information, "You mean, there is a wizard by the Prime Minister's side?"
"No, that was not arranged by the Prime Minister," the Prime Minister shook his head and said, "As far as I know, in the wizarding world, there are also government-like institutions, and Shacklebolt is one of them."
"He slipped in and became an assistant next to me."
The Prime Minister smiled bitterly and said: "I only found out two years ago that the wizard next to me turned out to be a wizard. He told me that he was protecting me."
"This is ridiculous," Mycroft said after thinking for a while, "What do you want to tell me?"
The Prime Minister looked around, as if he was afraid that a wizard would appear. He approached Mycroft and whispered, "Those guys are right next to us."
He reached out and tapped the piece of wood.
"We don't know him, but he knows us."
Mycroft thought and picked up the wood pieces.
"Magic, wizard."
If the big explosion in Poland was caused by wizards, it would be a very scary thing for all countries.
"On the land that appeared, there were dead bodies," Mycroft said calmly, "Wizards are not immortal."
The Prime Minister nodded.
Who knew that when he saw the wizard appearing in the fireplace in the heavily guarded office, his back was already wet with sweat.
As the place with the highest defense coefficient in the world, it was ignored by wizards.
Those wizards were so arrogant that they regarded themselves as ants.
From that moment on, a seed was planted in his heart.
A seed of wizard mystery.
To this day, he sees what happened in Poland.
Wizards, it seems, are not so mysterious.
They cannot escape death either.
With technology, wizards will also be unable to escape.
A secret operation was quietly carried out in Downing Street in the UK.
The piece of wood was placed in the top secret warehouse of MI6.
Placed next to the database codenamed zero.
And this kind of thing is going on quietly in all countries.
The connection between wizards and Muggle presidents is not only convenient for hiding from wizards, but more importantly, it creates a sense of mystery.
However, now the mystery is broken.
Then wizards become imaginary enemies in the eyes of Muggles.
Not only did they start hunting wizards, but they also began to monitor the existence of wizards.
For example, the British Prime Minister was accompanied by a wizard assistant, but he didn't know about it until the other person revealed his identity.
this is too scary.
If we weren't still wary of the sense of mystery that had been created for a long time, I'm afraid it would have been more than just a picket.
Mycroft served as the architect of this British operation.
He gave the action a name.
Wizards invade.
Mycroft said, "Pay attention, there might be a wizard around you."
"We need to know more."
"The life of a wizard, the abilities of a wizard, the... malice of a wizard."
Yes, Grindelwald's approach was successful.
After enough understanding, the weak will die.
What a wizard can do is to show enough strength to resist after feeling the malice of Muggles.
Wizards don't start wars, but Muggles do.
In a few years, satellites in the sky will dig out those hidden gathering places for wizards.
Satellite and surveillance coverage around the world.
Is there any way for the wizard to survive?
…
Chapter 675 Lockhart pays for the destruction of Gringotts
For the current Second Dynasty, two things are the most important.
The first is the promotion of the Little Wizard Card.
As a shrewd Greengrass, Mr. Greengrass saw huge business opportunities in this.
"In the long run, if you don't say half, you can at least control one-third of the wealth."
Mr. Greengrass's eyes flashed.
He hugged his thighs, he was no match for Malfoy.
But in business, I am no worse than Malfoy.
As the first generation manager of the ancient fund, Lucius originally donated half of the funds to the Little Wizard Foundation.
Now it seems that the old boy Lucius knows how to do business.
The maximum cost of a bottle of potion is nothing more than three.
The first is materials, the second is craftsmanship, and the third is transportation.
The loss of materials accounts for the majority, followed by the salary of hiring labor, and the third is the cost of transportation.
Solve these three and carry out internal digestion, so that the price of a bottle of medicine can be significantly reduced.
How to reduce it?
Give me money!
That's the thing about shopping, the more you buy, the cheaper the item will be.
The large amount of funds flowing in from the Little Wizard Card fully meets this condition.
What's more, these three conditions were all internally digested by the Second Dynasty.
In other words, the cost has been reduced again.
The second important thing is to stabilize the market virtually.
Attract more franchises and set prices.
When these two things are completed, not only the little wizard's money, but all the wizard's funds will be transferred to the storage location.
After all, you only need one card to do everything. If you leave your money in Gringotts and still need to withdraw it, and you still need to see the bad faces of those goblins, who would want that?
"It's a gradual crackdown on Gringotts."
Mr. Greengrass concluded, with some disbelief.
Gringotts.
This is the only bank standing in the wizarding world.
Why can it remain standing?
Because they have mastered the production of the Wizarding World.
Although creatures like goblins are not very virtuous, their craftsmanship is beyond compare.
Other currencies may be controlled by magic, but galleons and the like are unique.
Each of their coins is independent and cannot be counterfeited.
By mastering this technique, even if the goblin loses the battle with the wizard, he will not be enslaved like the house elf.
But now, the appearance of counterfeit goods is also prohibited.
Little wizard card.
A new currency in the hands of wizards.
Of course, you can fake it, but the prerequisite is that you need to have more alchemical skills than John.
That's even more difficult than making Galleons.
The product John created by combining goblin casting and alchemy is not that easy to crack.
If you have this ability, you can make money easily and directly by directly refining magic stones.
The current wizards just didn't react, or maybe it was because of their long-standing concept that they all felt that Gringotts was the safest place.
If one day the Second Dynasty releases cards belonging to adult wizards, changes will occur in this magical world.
Galleons, Sickles, and Nats will not disappear.
But they will exist in small numbers in families and more in the warehouses of the Second Dynasty.
Mr. Greengrass thought of this and slowly lowered his gaze.
In his sight, a row of nine black cards appeared.
The same size as the Little Wizard card, but the difference is that this black card has a tree drawn with golden circles and lines.
It looks ancient and mysterious.
"Magic card."
Mr. Greengrass picked up one and walked to the window. The sunlight fell on the card.
The tree on the card appears as if it were real.
This is the real killer weapon of the Second Dynasty.
The top ten ancient clans are each allocated nine cards.
They want to take these magic cards to those rich and ancient families and let them put money into them.
Due to their rarity, these items will be highly sought after by dignitaries.
Then use the celebrity effect to let ordinary wizards see the convenience and symbol of this card.
As far as Mr. Greengrass knows, there are currently a hundred cards in total.
