Chapter 382: Reports from the Right-Handed Men
Yang Tian did not show much concern for Nagini's words. Instead, he continued to ask: "What was the circus like at that time? Was there also a distinction between the performance group and the assassination group?"
Nagini quickly replied: "We have never made such a distinction. However, the circus at that time did accept some additional orders or help the sponsors complete some additional tasks. However, I did not find that the old leader had any special connection with any organization." Her tone was indescribably firm.
It seemed that the clue was broken again, Yang Tian nodded in confusion. But at this moment,
"No... No!" Nagini suddenly stood up and shouted, "I remember now. That was when my blood curse was getting worse and worse. I had less and less time to transform back into human form. Many people in the group almost thought I was a snake... I have seen him. I saw him when I was in snake form! He was a weird wizard in a black robe. I didn't see his face because he always wore his cloak very deep. But I remember the sign they showed each other when they met... The ring... Yes, it was a ring! A mithril ring with a pattern engraved on it that showed a picture of white bones under a syringe dripping with blood!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Especially Yang Tian, the symbol of the dripping blood syringe was too familiar! Every wizard in the Sarok Institute would wear a similar symbol!
But Nagini continued, "Every time they meet, new magical animals are brought to the circus. However, these animals all look weird, and their life span is very short. Some of them will die in less than ten days."
"So that's how it is." Yang Tian sketched out a rough relationship diagram in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he directly ordered: "Mrs. Zabini, after the meeting, pass the news to the people we trust the most. Ask them to check whether the current leader has a similar ring on his hand."
"Yes, Master," Mrs. Zabini said quickly.
Having found a clue, Yang Tian was in a good mood. He patted Nagini's shoulder to show encouragement, and then cast his eyes on Gilderoy Lockhart who was a little reserved in the corner: "This is our new member. You should have heard of his story, right?"
Hearing this, Gilderoy Lockhart stood up hurriedly, his signature smile appeared on his face, and he gestured to everyone with what he thought was the coolest move.
However, everyone present just nodded indifferently and dealt with the matter, which made Mr. Lockhart a little hurt.
In fact, everyone present had heard of this guy's reputation. No one would have any good feelings towards a clown who was nothing but a show, right?
Yang Tian took in everyone's reactions, but still said seriously: "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Although Lockhart's magic level may not be high, he also has his own unique talents. From now on, he will bundle his works with our alliance's products for sale. At the same time, I will also let him become the advertising spokesperson for our alliance to promote our various products."
After a pause, he looked at Lockhart with a look of disappointment: "If you work harder, I will arrange for someone to teach you some spells. At least you have to master the basic combat magic. Otherwise, you will be exposed once you make a move, and no one can stand it."
Yang Tian had already made plans. Before, he was not able to move around easily in Hogwarts, so he could not give Lockhart any systematic training. Now, the sky is high and the birds fly freely, and the sea is wide and the fish jump freely! It just so happens that the old members of Nightmare have nothing to do, so he sent one or two of them to train this guy!
Lockhart was also ashamed when he heard this. If it was before, would he care about these messed up words? Would he think about working hard to improve his magic? Don't be ridiculous! But now, the baptism of the soul seed makes him reflect on himself every day. He knows very well what kind of Lockhart is most useful to the master. He quickly said: "Master, don't worry, I will work hard this time and will never embarrass you."
Yang Tian nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Well, that's good. However, I still need you to do one thing."
"Please give your orders, Master," Lockhart said respectfully.
"It's time to prepare a new novel. Isn't the teaching experience at Hogwarts over the past year the best material? The circus, the Tusin Church...it's time to let them show themselves in the foreground."
"Understood, Master." Lockhart agreed without hesitation, "I will definitely complete the task."
Yang Tian smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the other side of the secret room.
"Umbridge, I asked you to come back and report on your work this time. Have you arranged everything in Albania?" Yang Tian asked.
Umbridge replied respectfully: "My Lord, rest assured. With the help of our colleagues, the situation in Albania is becoming clearer and clearer. We don't need to worry about anyone." Her voice was still full of artificial girlishness, but the respect in it could not be ignored.
That's right, since Umbridge accepted the baptism of the soul seed, she was sent to Albania. Fortunately, Umbridge, who has no selfish motives, is very reliable. The situation in Albania now is completely different from that a year ago.
Yang Tian nodded slightly and said: "Tell everyone about the specific situation over there. I believe everyone wants to hear about your work results."
"Yes, Master." Umbridge bowed slightly and said, "Since I entered Albania, the forces of all parties have basically stabilized the situation. According to your request, I have completely taken over the remaining forces of the Albanian Ministry of Magic, and set up some small obstacles for non-our forces in their name."
Everyone nodded, obviously having heard about this before.
Umbridge was secretly somewhat pleased with herself, but she remained calm and confident. "The other party did not find anything unusual about our arrangement. At present, several of our forces are developing much faster than other forces, and they have been secretly in contact with each other and sharing what they have. It is not difficult to curb the development of forces other than ours."
"Well done, Ms. Umbridge." Yang Tian encouraged her as usual, and then continued: "I know your methods, but I am more worried about your mentality and cognition. Our combined forces are very powerful, but we still cannot dominate alone. Remember, use gentler methods, don't always think about taking advantage, and don't take too drastic measures. If you are too fierce and the remaining forces are forced to unite, it will definitely be a loss. Albania is too small after all, and we must focus on the overall situation."
