Chapter 128 Forbidden Forest Development Plan
"Principal Dumbledore, the answer to the first question is actually very simple."
Sebastian puffed out his chest and volunteered.
"I hope Hogwarts can reach in-depth cooperation with Swann Alchemy and outsource the development of the Forbidden Forest to Swann Alchemy."
"Swan Alchemy can assign several employees to come here and sign a magic agreement with Hogwarts to be responsible for the development of the Forbidden Forest."
"As for the various items collected, they will be purchased by Swann Alchemy."
"If you have any concerns, we can also send a professional to guide the collection of items. What do you think?"
That's it...
This can indeed solve the employee problem and ensure a stable acquisition channel.
What's more, Hogwarts doesn't have to pay these employees.
In terms of credibility, Swan Alchemy is also trustworthy.
In addition, you can sign a special magic contract and don't have to worry about the other side's employees playing any tricks.
It seems that this plan is not bad.
Dumbledore stroked his beard and did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he asked Sebastian.
"What about the centaurs? You should know that centaurs are a bit stubborn and not easy to talk to."
Centaur?
To be honest, apart from Firenze, Sebastian had no good feelings towards the magical animals living in the Forbidden Forest.
This group of centaurs drifted here thousands of years ago. Under the protection of Hufflepuff, they were able to settle down in the Forbidden Forest and have reproduced to this day.
However, although they live on the territory of Hogwarts, they have not paid any rent for all these years. They even regard the Forbidden Forest as their territory and prohibit Hogwarts teachers and students from entering it.
You know, the Forbidden Forest has always been included in the title deed of Hogwarts. The title deed clearly states that the Forbidden Forest is an integral part of Hogwarts.
This is like taking in a homeless person, but the homeless person takes over the house and directly regards it as his own.
In the eyes of Sebastian, a capitalist, this behavior is tantamount to usurpation and occupation, and is absolutely unforgivable.
Although Sebastian was usually kind and patient, that was only his attitude towards wizards.
He doesn't have that much patience for these magical animals.
Therefore, Sebastian has only one attitude towards the centaurs, that is, the rent must be paid.
Thinking of this, Sebastian looked into Dumbledore's eyes and said firmly.
"No matter how difficult these centaurs are to talk to, they have to give in to the interests of Hogwarts."
"Of course, I don't want any bloodshed, so you can go with me and stay hidden on the side while I'm on my way to the Centaur tribe."
"If it really comes to a point where it is irreversible, you can show up again, and we can play the good cop and the bad cop to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations."
Seeing that Dumbledore was lost in thought, Sebastian stepped up his efforts and continued to persuade him.
"Headmaster, for the sake of the students and Hogwarts, I sincerely hope that you can agree to this plan."
Dumbledore's fingers unconsciously tapped the tabletop, making a subtle tapping sound.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.
His mind raced to the rhythm of the knocking, analyzing every detail of Sebastian's suggestion, weighing the pros and cons and possible consequences.
On the other side, after hearing Sebastian's determined words, Professor McGonagall's lips moved.
She really wanted to persuade Sebastian not to be too tough when facing the centaurs.
After all, from what she knew of Sebastian, if the centaurs did not cooperate, being expelled from the Forbidden Forest would be the best outcome for them.
As for the worst outcome...
However, thinking of the longing eyes of the children in the Pensieve just now, Professor McGonagall couldn't say anything to stop them.
She pursed her lips and her eyes slowly became firm.
Now is not the time to be soft-hearted, as Sebastian said, this is all for the children.
If Dumbledore is unwilling, then he can accompany Sebastian to the centaur tribe.
After a long moment, Dumbledore sighed softly and looked up at Sebastian.
"Sebastian, for the students, I agree with your plan."
"So, when are you going to start the first step in your plan and negotiate with the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest?"
Sebastian grinned, looked at the sun hanging high outside the window, and said happily.
"For things like this, it's better to act sooner rather than later. There's still time. I'm going to the Forbidden Forest to negotiate with the magical creatures now."
"By the way," Sebastian looked at Dumbledore, "Principal, please give Hagrid a task now and ask him to leave Hogwarts temporarily today."
"From what I understand, he has some friends in the Forbidden Forest, and I'm worried that Hagrid wouldn't accept my approach."
After saying that, Sebastian waved goodbye to the two professors and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
......
Sebastian stood at the edge of the forbidden forest and completely let go of his magical perception.
Inch after inch, meter after meter.
Soon, the entire Forbidden Forest was under his magical perception, and the distribution of the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest appeared clearly in his mind.
He smiled slightly, and the powerful magic power gradually boiled over, then burst out towards the Forbidden Forest, announcing his arrival to the Forbidden Forest like a giant dragon.
In order to prevent the magical creatures from being frightened away, Sebastian stretched out his wand and cast emotional magic on himself.
“Goodwill is flowing!”
In an instant, the magic of catharsis was no longer overbearing, but full of kindness, making the magical animals unable to help but get close.
In this way, the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest can feel that Sebastian is powerful and not easy to mess with, and they can humble themselves and communicate with him properly.
After sensing Sebastian's goodwill, the communication between the two sides became smoother.
After making preparations, Sebastian smiled slightly and walked towards the territory of the flower fairies in order from easy to difficult.
Slowly, Sebastian walked through the territories of one magical animal after another.
After a cordial exchange between the two sides, the magical creatures generously expressed their acceptance of Sebastian's exchange conditions.
Because Sebastian is a man, the unicorns are not very fond of Sebastian.
However, under Sebastian's friendly attitude, they agreed to Sebastian's request to arrange female employees to comb their hair.
After talking to most of the magical creatures, Sebastian canceled the emotional magic and calmed the boiling magic.
He stretched out his wand and cast Disillusionment Charm and Silencing Charm on himself, then took out a bottle of potion and dripped two drops on his body to cover up the smell.
Before going to the centaur tribe, he needed to find a magical animal to make an example of.
After arriving at the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider, Sebastian cancelled the magic on his body.
Listening to the clicking sounds in the bushes, he grinned and shouted loudly to a hemispherical spider web.
"Aragog, come out and see me!"
......
