Chapter 136 Another Scam
After Snape left, only Argus and Lockhart were left in the classroom.
Lockhart stared at Argus.
"This is 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 from, he is an Auror anyway!"
"Even if I throw 50,000 gold Galleons at him, I can still kill him!"
Lockhart was angry and didn't want to listen to Argus.
Standing on the stage and chattering!
But Argus' words instantly turned him off.
"He is the new Auror Director of the Ministry of Magic!"
"Director of 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 Director 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...that's..." Lockhart hesitated and couldn't speak.
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 tricked if he is not careful."
"You can also fight the Auror Director back and forth, don't you think it's not worth it?"
It was obviously a one-sided defeat, at most it just delayed a little time.
But in Argus's words, it was as if the two were evenly matched.
But Lockhart fell for it!
He couldn't help but nodded.
"Think about the shocked and admiring eyes of the young wizards in the audience when you made Professor Snape lose face for the first time."
"Do you still think it's a waste of money to spend this gold Galleon?"
"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 face in the classroom."
"One day in the future, this magic item really invents a top-level spell, and you can use the same routine to trick Headmaster Dumbledore in front of reporters or in public!"
"That's the greatest and most powerful white wizard of this century!"
"If you can knock him down, who dares to say that you don't deserve the reputation!"
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 now, it will take two or three months to make this 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 were shining.
"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 know who dares to think that what I wrote in the 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 would punch Dumbledore and kick Voldemort in the next second.
As he spoke, he took out the wand and cloak that Argus gave him, 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 simple look, he found the problem.
"The core of the alchemy is damaged and needs to be repaired."
"Then you fix it quickly!"
Lockhart was anxious and hurriedly urged 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 repairs, 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 has nothing to do with 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 power into it."
"You didn't care whether the wand could bear it."
"Are you going to blame me for this kind of thing that could have been avoided?"
Lockhart's expression was a little embarrassed.
He was indeed a little overwhelmed 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 care at the time.
"I... I'm in a hurry, aren't I?"
"Just tell me how many Galleons it will take to fix it!"
Lockhart, who has experienced strength, no longer wants to go back to the past life where he had to rely on his mouth for everything.
He's had enough of the days of being questioned and despised by countless people!
Hearing Lockhart's words of wealth and power, Argus sighed again.
The rich are indeed rich!
Things that can be solved with Galleons don't need to be talked about!
It would be great if I had this ability!
Agus finally understood how the Weasley twins felt when they met him.
The difference is that although he earned more gold galleons than Lockhart, most of it had to be used for the Saints.
After all, only a few could really squander it at will.
Agus thought about it and didn't dare to speak directly.
He held out five fingers again!
"Another fifty thousand?" Lockhart jumped off the stage.
"Your maintenance fee is too expensive! If I have to ask you to repair it every time I finish fighting, the cost will be too high!"
Agus 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." Agus said deliberately.
"Anyway, the Saints will develop newer and more powerful products in the future."
"At worst, we can sell them 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 being unreasonable, right? You think it's too expensive and don't want to repair it."
"If you think it's expensive, naturally there will be others willing to buy it."
"Who said I think it's expensive!" Lockhart squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.
"I just don't have so many gold Galleons on me!"
"Don't worry, when you repair it, I will give you the balance and the gold Galleons for this repair!"
"Okay!" Agus showed a successful smile on his face.
"Then one week later, one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods!"
