Chapter 136

After Snape left, only Argus and Lockhart were left in the classroom.

Lockhart stared at Argus.

"Is this what you sold me for tens of thousands of gold Galleons? It can't even deal with an Auror!"

"Do you know who you chose?"

Argus didn't let Lockhart lead him by the nose and asked back.

"No matter which family he is a pure blood, he is an Auror anyway!"

"Even if I hit him with 50,000 gold Galleons, I can still kill him!"

Lockhart was angry and didn't want to listen to Argus.

Chattering on the stage!

But Argus' words made him lose his temper instantly.

"He is the new Auror Chief of the Ministry of Magic!"

"Chief Auror?"

Lockhart was dumbfounded.

He picked for a long time, but ended up picking the toughest one!

What kind of luck is this!

It's too bad!

Argus looked at him like a fool.

"Do you think you can defeat an Auror Chief with two magic items? Or defeat the Dean of Hogwarts?"

"Is there really such a magic item that can fall into your hands?"

"That's also...that's also..." Lockhart stammered and couldn't say anything.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Argus started to deceive again.

"You have seen the effect of the magic item I sold you."

"Even a Hogwarts professor like Snape will be caught if he is not careful."

"You can still fight back and forth with the Auror Chief. Don't you think it's not worth it?"

It was obviously a one-sided defeat, at most it just delayed the time a little.

But in Argus's words, it was as if the two were evenly matched.

But Lockhart just fell for it!

He couldn't help but nodded.

"Think about the first time you made Professor Snape lose, and the shocked and admiring eyes of the little wizards in the audience."

"Do you still think that this amount of gold galleons is a loss?"

"But...but..."

Lockhart always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Think about it, this is just the most basic product, and it can make Professor Snape lose in the classroom."

"One day in the future, this magic item really invents a top-level spell, you can use the same routine to trick Headmaster Dumbledore in front of reporters or in public!"

"That is the greatest and most powerful white wizard of this century!"

"If you can beat him, who dares to say that you are not worthy of the name!"

In order to stabilize this sponsor, Argus tried his best to deceive.

After all, this is 100,000 gold galleons!

Even if the Saint has developed so many ways to make money, it will take two or three months to make this much money.

Now that he can get it by just talking, he certainly doesn't want to let it go.

Sure enough, Lockhart seemed to think of the scene where he was worshipped by countless people after defeating Dumbledore.

His eyes lit up.

"That's right!"

"If I can really defeat Dumbledore once in the future like today, it will definitely make a sensation in the entire wizarding world!"

"At that time, I don't see who dares to think that what I wrote in my book is bragging!"

"When that day comes, I will settle accounts with those who look down on me one by one!"

Lockhart became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was going to punch Dumbledore and kick Voldemort in the next second.

While talking, he took out the wand and cloak given to him by Argus, wanting to carefully develop the usage and tactics.

Just as he was about to release the spell, a puff of white smoke suddenly came out of the wand.

No matter how he input magic power, the wand did not respond.

"This...what's going on?"

Before selling the wand to Lockhart, Argus had tried countless times.

In order to sell the wand, he also read the researcher's notes.

After a quick look, he found the problem.

"The core of alchemy is damaged and needs to be repaired."

"Then you fix it quickly!"

Lockhart was anxious and hurried to urge Argus.

Argus smiled and put the wand back in Lockhart's hand.

"Professor Lockhart, our transaction does not seem to include repairs."

"If you want to repair, you need to pay extra."

Lockhart was immediately annoyed when he heard it.

"You liar! You are deceiving customers!"

"I just bought it for less than a day!"

"It doesn't matter how long you bought it!" Argus's expression did not change, and he did not show any anger because of Lockhart's words: "I saw it just now. When you were fighting with the Auror director, you desperately sent magic into it.

"Without caring whether the wand can bear it."

"Are you going to blame me for something that could have been avoided?"

Lockhart's expression was a little embarrassed.

He was indeed a little excited at the time, and he only wanted to win the duel in front of him, and he didn't notice the changes in the wand at all.

Now that I think about it, it seems that the wand did make a few strange noises at that time.

But I didn't pay attention to it at the time.

"I...wasn't I anxious?"

"Just tell me how many gold galleons it will take to repair it! "

Lockhart, who had experienced strength, no longer wanted to go back to the life of relying on his mouth for everything.

He had had enough of the days when he was questioned and despised by countless people!

Hearing Lockhart's words of wealth, Argus sighed again.

The rich are indeed rich!

There is no need to waste words on things that can be solved with gold galleons!

It would be great if I had this ability!

Argus finally understood the feelings of the Weasley twins when they met him.

The difference is that although he earned more gold galleons than Lockhart, most of them had to be used for the Saints.

After all, only a few people could really squander them at will.

Argus thought about it and didn't dare to speak directly.

Extended five fingers again!

"Another 50,000?" Lockhart jumped off the stage.

"Your later maintenance costs are too expensive! If I have to ask you to repair it every time I finish fighting in the future, the cost will be too high! "

Argus didn't want to let this big fish run away.

After thinking about it, he decided to give him a little sweetness.

"One-time payment, lifetime warranty."

"Is this okay?"

"That's too expensive!" Lockhart muttered, looking distressed.

"Since you think it's not suitable, forget it." Argus said deliberately.

"Anyway, the saints will develop newer and more powerful products in the future."

"At worst, I can sell it to others."

"Being able to sneak attack Headmaster Dumbledore in public, this reputation, just thinking about it makes people..."

"No!" Lockhart was anxious now.

"These magic items cannot be sold to others!"

"Professor Lockhart, you are a little unreasonable, right? You think it's too expensive and don't want to repair it."
