Chapter 433: ?Ask Dumbledore

After leaving the underground cave with the door key retrieved from Patriarch Avery, Mike soon commanded the Los Santo wizard group and the ants to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire Avery secret.
Since the entire Avery Secret Realm has been cast in the relationship of anti-phantom shift, anti-phantom manifestation, and unmarkable curse, apart from those high-level Avery family leaders themselves, the entire Avery family is unique Most members are almost trapped in the secret realm.
The main purpose of the joint search by the wizarding group and the ants is to catch the survivors hiding in the secret realm. It is believed that with the help of native creatures like giant ants, these people will soon be found out.
Of course, arresting people is only one purpose.
Mike's other purpose is to collect the goods that the Avery family hoarded in the secret territory and the belongings of the wizard families.
As the highest combat power present, Mike naturally did not leave the secret realm.
It's just that he didn't stay idle either, but took advantage of the time when Veritaserum had not disappeared, and conducted a more detailed and strict interrogation of Chief Avery.
The result of the interrogation was similar to the previous one in the underground cave, but Patriarch Avery also explained some other things, such as they buried a huge treasure in this secret realm named after their family.
There is the wealth that the Avery family has collected over thousands of years.
Their ancestors obviously did not believe in the Gringotts created by the cunning goblins, so they hid most of their belongings in this secret realm, and the Gringotts were just scattered wealth.
As for the value of the treasure inside, Patriarch Avery himself did not know clearly, because there are too many, and the value of many things is difficult to estimate.
Mike then found someone to go to the location he said, and dug up a warehouse full of Jin Jialong and various treasures there.
After preliminary inspection, the value of this treasure house exceeded one million gold gallons!
This number really surprised Mike, Franklin and others, but after thinking that the Avery family had occupied this secret realm alone for countless years, Mike wanted to open it.
But this is not the most important news that Mike got from Patriarch Avery. Mike never forgets that their purpose this time is to find Chris and the pendant, and Mike inferred from what Patriarch Avery explained. One very incredible thing is that the information Kingsley obtained was probably deliberately disclosed by Chris or others.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Kingsley can easily know the hidden things in the Avery Secret Realm, nor can it explain why the Slytherin pendant box that Mike is looking for appears here so coincidentally.
Although Mike didn't know why Chris or others did this, after excluding all possibilities, there was only one seemingly impossible option left!
As for the pendant box, Mike inspected it the first time he left the underground cave.
But to Mike's disappointment, this pendant box was still not the Horcrux he was looking for, and it didn't even smell like Voldemort.
Mike immediately made the judgment that it was a fake, but Chief Avery insisted that it was genuine.
The reason he gave is that he likes this precious magical antique very much, so when Chris gave this pendant box to him, he found many famous cultural relics masters to check the authenticity of the pendant box. The result is that this pendant box is indeed genuine.
This puzzled Mike.
You must know that Voldemort hadn't traveled to this world when he made the Horcrux.
Therefore, the appearance of the Horcrux was not affected by his crossing at all, and there would be no change.
It's just that if this pendant box is genuine, where did the Voldemort Divide Soul go?
Could it be said that it was recovered by Voldemort in time? Or did Slytherin make two pendant boxes?
Looking at the pendant box in his hand that was shining green under the light, Mike was almost full of question marks now.
He really wanted to go to Dumbledore directly with the pendant, so that the knowledgeable Dumbledore could give him a correct answer.
Unfortunately, he still has more important things to deal with in this secret realm.
"The boss, the ants, and the Los Santo wizard forces have completed the search of Avery Secret Realm."
Benjamin's words pulled Mike back in thought, and he put away the pendant box calmly, nodding expressionlessly, and said:
"what's the result?"
"Generally it is good. After two rounds of comprehensive searches, we caught a total of 323 rats, most of them were elderly and children, and only about 30 mature men and women. In addition, we excluded Ever In addition to the treasure confided by the patriarch Li, I also found a large amount of property and goods. According to preliminary estimates, the total proceeds of the first wave of our operation will exceed 1.1 million gold gallons!"
At this point, Benjamin suddenly stopped speaking. Mike, who was listening to the report, turned his head a little strangely, and saw Benjamin frowning, as if he was constipated.
"What's the matter?" Mike cared. "Are you not feeling well?"
Benjamin shook his head quickly, looked at Mike with a tangled look, and stammered after a long time of brewing there:
"Mike, although I am very reluctant to admit it, some very bad things happened during the search."
"They hid my Jin Jialong privately?"
Mike suddenly raised his tone!
"Um, that's not the case. Our people are not fools. They know what they will end up if they are found hiding their loot. And anyway, you will give them a lot of bonuses when you go back, so they don't need to. Do it."
"What can be done badly then?"
Mike was a little puzzled, he couldn't think of anything worse than stealing the loot that belonged to him.
Facing Mike’s question, Benjamin hesitated and said:
"110 of the 323 survivors were killed by them for threatening reasons. But in fact they were killing innocent people indiscriminately. I can see that many people even just cursed them. They were executed directly! This is not the worst. Some witches were violated before being executed. This is really...this is really..."
Benjamin couldn't speak when he was angry.
On the face of Mike, there was an expression of sudden realization.
When ordering the Los Santos Wizarding Troops to join the ants to search, Mike's original words were this:
"Find out all the survivors of the Avery family, then find a temporary dungeon to lock them all up, and kill them if you encounter a threat."
That's right, it's such a simple sentence.
This is still the order that Mike gave after careful consideration, because from a rational point of view, it is the best choice to kill all these prisoners to all his subordinates, after all, they are strictly enemies.
But it was too cruel to do so, so Mike finally chose to lock them all up first.
Mike thinks he has done it very well.
But when he gave the order, he obviously forgot one thing, that is, to give the mission executives a threatening standard and did not prohibit them from doing some shameful things to the prisoners.
Ever since, what Benjamin said happened naturally.
Mike was not surprised by the appearance of this kind of thing, because his subordinates were not rigid robots, but living humans. It was normal to do some bottom-line testing to satisfy his own desires within the scope of the rules.
And to be honest, Mike is very satisfied with their behavior.
Because until now, Mike hasn't taken back their unlimited right to fire.
This means that if they want, they can even kill all the prisoners directly.
The absence of such a situation already shows that the group of wizards under his hand is not mad.
It's just that although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't tell Benjamin that way, after all, the other party was obviously overwhelmed by the heart of the Virgin.
So after a long time Mike took a long breath, patted Benjamin's shoulder and said:
"I was at fault in this matter. There was a loophole in the order I gave them. I must say to you, sorry."
While speaking, Mike also bowed a small bow to Benjamin.
"I... I didn't mean that, Mike. I..."
Benjie obviously didn't expect Mike to do this. After a moment, he panicked and wanted to explain, but perhaps it was a relationship that was too tense and he couldn't explain why he stuttered.
Upon seeing this, Mike continued:
"Well, the mistake has been committed and we will try to make up for it. Then, all the prisoners will be dealt with by you. Of course, the general direction cannot be changed. It is still for them to clear their memories and stay in the factory. Work, but the remaining similar living conditions, material rationing and other matters are left to you to handle. In addition, I will punish the wizards who have made mistakes, confinement and fines. Do you think this is okay? "
"Of course, this is a good treatment, but..."
"Let's do it, I have other things to deal with, I hope you can all do your job well, after all, this is for the greater good!"
After saying this, Mike pulled the door key in his hand and disappeared into the office as a twisted afterimage.
When Benjamin heard Mike's last sentence, he stood up straight and beat his chest like a conditioned reflex, and shouted:
"For the greater good!"
After yelling, Benjamin became even more embarrassed, because Mike dropped a lot of things and ran away!
Thinking of all the things he had to deal with for a while, Benjamin couldn't help showing a bitter look on his face.
"He always likes to be a hand shaker like this, I really suffer!"
Benjamin grumbled and left the office quickly.
It is not a simple matter to completely conquer a brand-new secret realm. There is a lot of work waiting for him.
On the other side, after leaving the secret, Mike went non-stop to Dumbledore's forest villa.
In the garden of the villa, the house elf named Little Teacup or Little Teapot was very happy to see Mike's arrival, and greeted Mike very diligently.
It's just that Mike ignored him at all and rushed directly into Dumbledore's bedroom.
At this time, Dumbledore had gotten rid of the situation of recuperating from his wounds in the hospital bed, and was sitting at his desk while reading the newspaper and eating breakfast.
The breakfast Mike looked familiar, almost exactly the same as what he had eaten at Snape's house.
Dumbledore's food was delicious, and the morning sun shone on his face through the dense woods and transparent glass, and a faint layer of pink appeared on it, representing a healthy pink.
Dumbledore was obviously taken aback by Mike's sudden intrusion. He held up a fork with half of the grilled sausage in his mind, and then his wrinkled face rippled away. With a big smile, he said to Mike:
"Mike, you are here. Severus just came here for a routine treatment for me. He also made me a breakfast at my strong request. I have to say that he did too much. It's delicious, I was fascinated. Oh, by the way, would you like some?"
Dumbledore said as he spoke, he reached out to pass the half of sausage to Mike.
It's just that Mike obviously has no desire to eat~EbookFREE.me~ He completely ignored Dumbledore's kindness, took the Slytherin pendant box from his arms and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
"Look at this, is this genuine?"
Seeing the pendant box, Dumbledore's expression also became serious.
He put down the fork, took the pendant box in both hands and placed it in the sun to examine it carefully. After a while, he looked surprised and asked Mike:
"Where did you get this?"
"I thought you had guessed it. The information Kingsley gave me led us to the depths of the Avery family, where we found this."
"Yeah, yes, I should have guessed, Kingsley has already told me about this..."
Dumbledore's expression was a little weird, he seemed to be distracted, his pupils spread rapidly, and he kept his head down and muttered there.
His voice was getting softer and lighter, and gradually even Mike couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
I don't know how long it took before Dumbledore finally recovered from this strange state.
He slowly raised his head, looked at Mike with a complicated expression for a while, and then asked in a very serious tone:
"May I know, the people of the Avery family... they are now... uh, how is the situation?"
Mike didn't speak, he just looked at Dumbledore blankly, just as he had done while waiting for Dumbledore to speak.
The Avery Secret Realm is very important to Mike at this stage, so important that he is not prepared to disclose any news about the Secret Realm to anyone.
But Dumbledore obviously had some misunderstandings about Mike's reaction, and his expression on his face suddenly became very sad after waiting for a long time without receiving a response.
