Chapter 704: Income Generation and Surrendering Dementors
Cornwall…
"Call the gods to protect you!"
A silver goose flew by, scaring a dementor so hard that it ran away with its head in its arms, but before it could fly far, it hit a slender flame head-on.
The temperature of the flame was not high, or because it was too small, the dementor didn't feel anything before it hit it.
But by the time it reacted, the flames were already wrapped around his body like a rope.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Dementor was burned to ashes.
Kyle waved his wand after lifting the disillusionment spell, and the flames on the dementor automatically condensed into a ball and flew back to the top of a wooden stick in his hand, burning unhurriedly on it.
"This thing is really good..." Cedric looked at the torch in Kyle's hand with some envy. "We agreed, next time it's your turn to drive away the dementors, and I'll use the Gubralien Fire."
"No problem." Kyle threw the torch in his hand to him, "Be careful not to burn yourself. Although this thing is not as scary as the Fire Curse, it is still a magical flame after all. I don't want to go to St. Mungo's to visit you. .”
"Are you looking down a little too much?" Cedric held the torch and said angrily: "Even if I can't match you in the use of magic spells, I can't even use the fire control spell, right? .”
Kyle shrugged and said nothing.
At this time, an owl just flew over their heads.
Kyle took out a Sico and shook it, and the owl immediately flew over and took out a stack of newspapers from the bag tied to his leg.
"Thank you, two portions are enough." Kyle threw Xi Ke into the bag, "No need to look for it."
In addition to the owl that regularly delivers newspapers to a certain person, the Daily Prophet also has another situation like this.
The owl will carry a bag of newspapers and fly towards the place where the wizard is. If the wizard needs it, he just needs to hold five Knuts in his hand and shake them and they will fly over.
But Kyle doesn't have that kind of small-denomination coins in his hand for the time being, and it's the same with Sickle.
"What a coincidence." Cedric said in surprise: "We can actually meet the owl delivering newspapers!"
"What's so strange about this..." Kyle opened the newspaper, "Cornwall is a place with a lot of wizards. It's normal to encounter a newspaper delivery owl."
"That's right." Cedric walked over, "Is there any news in the newspaper?"
"There really is..." Kyle opened the newspaper and pointed to a huge headline on the front page.
[The Ministry of Magic offers a high price for the Dementor]
“In recent times, both wizards and Muggles have been troubled by dementors, and these monsters are seriously affecting everyone’s lives.
"Yesterday, a righteous wizard came to the Ministry of Magic and expressed his thoughts. He believed that during this special period, all wizards should unite to fight against the dementors.
"Of course, this is a very dangerous thing, so he specially prepared a generous reward to be given to every wizard who has contributed to peace."
[The wizard who captures the dementors alive and sends them to the Ministry of Magic will be rewarded with two hundred galleons for each dementor. 】
[Bring a dementor-black-hooded wizard and reward him with a hundred galleons. 】
[After killing the dementors with magic fire, a black ash will be left behind. 2 ounces can be exchanged for one hundred galleons. 】
"Another: The Ministry of Magic advocates doing things according to one's ability and having enough assurance.
"If anyone is found to have caused damage to the surrounding environment, buildings, or personnel while dealing with dementors, a reward ranging from twenty to two hundred galleons will be deducted (depending on the seriousness of the situation)
"If there is uncontrolled magic fire, in addition to deducting all rewards, there will also be an additional fine of one hundred galleons and one year in Azkaban."
"The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, said that we are here to solve troubles, not create them, so everyone must do what they can, and the main thing is to notify the Ministry of Magic, and the Aurors will rush over as soon as possible."
……
"There is a bounty for Dementors?" Cedric looked at the newspaper in disbelief. "I didn't expect those ashes to be so valuable. Two ounces and one hundred galleons. You are rich!"
He still remembered that there was a lot of ashes in Kyle's bottle. Even if only half of it was left, it could still be exchanged for a lot of Galleons.
"What are you thinking..." Kyle looked at Cedric with disgust, "We are employees of the Ministry of Magic. This is our job. How can we raise money? It's too vulgar."
Cedric stood there dumbfounded, choked and speechless...
"Wait...are you serious?"
When this kind of words came out of Kyle's mouth, he couldn't believe it...it was so fake.
According to what he knew about Kyle, the other party would definitely find someone who was not in the Ministry of Magic, such as Lupin or Mrs. Weasley, and let them exchange the ashes for galleons.
This is what Kyle should do.
"Ok."
In Cedric's eyes with the same disgust, Kyle spread his hands helplessly, "In fact, the sponsor of this event is Sirius. We can't use the Gubler fairy fire he sent and then turn around to make money from him. Well, that’s a bit too shameless.”
"No wonder..." Cedric nodded suddenly, even Kyle felt shameless, and he really couldn't do this.
"But is this really okay?" Cedric frowned and asked, "What if they bring fake things? After all, black cloaks are so common, and there are ashes. It seems that they are not difficult to imitate."
"These things cost at least one hundred galleons. Someone will definitely be interested. If someone comes over with a fake and insists that it was dropped by a dementor, what will you do? Will you also pay?"
"Of course it's impossible." Kyle waved his wand, and a black torn cloak suddenly appeared in front of the two of them... This was left after they killed the first dementor, and Kyle never threw it away.
"As for how people from the Ministry of Magic check the authenticity of things...you will know just by touching them."
Cedric touched the cloak doubtfully, then withdrew his hand instantly.
"Hiss, it's so cold..." He felt a biting coldness coming from his fingertips, as if he had dipped into ice water.
"You see." Kyle said with a smile, "As long as the things left by the dementors, even the ashes burned by the magical flames, are cold.
"This is unique to dementors. Even if you use magic to imitate it, it cannot be exactly the same...at least not in a short period of time."
Cedric was still a little worried, "Even so, it would be a waste of time to identify fakes."
"No waste, no waste at all." Kyle waved his hand, "There will be a team of thugs who will be responsible for catching those who are trying to be clever... By the way, do you remember those who were imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic? Those Dementors?”
Cedric nodded.
Some dementors will surrender directly when the Auror finds them. At this time, the Auror will not kill them, but choose to take them back to the Ministry of Magic.
