Chapter 557: Filch

At the beginning of July, London finally became clearer, but unlike the summer that most people think of, the temperature in London did not rise, and it was still in the very pleasant range of twenty degrees.
Mike walked the streets of London with Franklin and others, watching the cars and beautifully dressed pedestrians around him, he felt like a world away.
In the past few years, he spent most of his time in the wizarding world, which made him almost forget what Muggle life should be like.
With emotion for a while, Mike continued to move forward.
Their destination was a building located on the Thames River, which is also a branch of the Los Santos Group.
There today, Mike will discuss with representatives from various minorities such as fairies, Muggle wizards, horsemen, and witches on the next cooperation between the two sides.
Mike had expected these guys to come to him.
But what Mike didn't expect was that they would come so soon.
Mike thought they could hold on for a while.
It seems that Mike still overestimates them.
And the reason why Mike set the meeting place at the Los Santos Group branch was precisely because of his distrust of these guys.
After all, those guys are all greedy guys, as long as there is enough profit, they won't have the slightest hesitation to let them sell Mike.
While thinking about it, Mike and others have already arrived at their destination.
This is a building with a certain age, but it is different from the old buildings of this period. The exterior wall of this building, which is regarded as a branch of the Los Santos Group, is not installed with those chromatic aberration glass sheets, but kept In addition to the original excuses of the old window frames, this also makes this building look unique.
Of course, the other flavor is based on Mike's aesthetics. In the eyes of most people in this era, this is just an ordinary old building.
At this time, in the lobby on the ground floor of the Los Santos branch, countless people in tattered and weird clothes were gathering here to line up, preparing to receive food and clothing from the Los Santos Group.
These items are relief supplies specially prepared by the Los Santos Group. Due to the Ministry of Magic’s attacks on minorities during this period, anti-minority voices in wizarding society have become stronger and stronger, which has also led to many Muggles who still have jobs. The wizard instantly lost his job.
In this case, they had to rely on Los Santos' relief to survive.
Of course, not all Muggle wizards gathered in the hall of the Los Santos branch. There were also many dumb guns who had a difficult life. They were also on the list of receiving relief supplies.
It is easy to distinguish between dumb guns and Muggle wizards, because they always hate each other, and even the line is divided into two groups.
The dumb guns were jealous of the Muggle wizards' ability to cast spells, but at the same time they looked down on the Muggle wizards because of their blood.
Muggle wizards feel that those dumb cannons that do not have the ability to cast spells are completely waste, and that they are a waste of food while living.
Mike didn't care about this kind of thing. Many times he even had the same idea as his fellow Muggle wizards, thinking that these dumb guns were hopeless waste.
It is precisely because there is no use value, so this multi-party meeting Mike did not even contact the dumb gun.
And the reason why Mike included the dumb guns in the relief list was just that he wanted the dumb guns to behave so that other minority groups knew that their Los Santos Group treated all groups equally.
After observing the gathering crowd for a while, when he found that the scene was orderly and there was no looting, Mike walked towards the elevator with a group of Freemasonry members.
But he hadn’t gone far, but a small figure suddenly stood in front of him
When Mike looked down, he saw a big scrawny cat with gray fur lying right under his feet.
Mike's expression became a little weird, because he always felt that the cat in front of him was a bit familiar.
After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively shouted:
"Mrs. Loris?"
"Meow!~"
The big cat in front of him gave a gentle cry, then lay on Mike's feet and began to lick his fur.
Mike stopped Franklin from trying to catch Mrs. Loris and began to look around.
He knew very well that since Mrs. Loris was here, Filch must be there too.
Sure enough, after looking around for a while, he easily found Filch in the dumb team.
However, Filch's appearance at this moment was a huge change from when he was at Hogwarts.
He has become thinner, and at the same time there are more white hairs on top of his head, and he looks as if he might fall down at any time.
Seeing Mike and others looking towards him, Filch instinctively wanted to cover his face with his hood.
Mike knew very well that it was Filch's fragile self-esteem that was at work, and even though everyone at Hogwarts knew he was a dumb gun, he himself never admitted this fact.
Of course, Filch's move may also be afraid that Mike and others will retaliate against him.
After all, he didn't have much trouble with Mike and Franklin at Hogwarts. Now that he has lost his status as a school clerk, it is normal to be retaliated against.
He shook his head and Mike didn't intend to retaliate against the poor old dumb gun. He leaned over and slapped Mrs. Loris, and after removing it from his feet, he was ready to move on.
But at this moment, Mike's surplus light caught a glimpse of Filch, who was still pretending not to know himself and the others, suddenly rushed over.
Franklin next to Mike reacted first, and his wand was pointed at Filch almost instantly.
Filch, who was pointed at by the magic wand, suddenly stiffened, and the muscles on his face could not help trembling, but he still forced a humble smile and did not speak, so he kept bowing to Mike.
Looking at the opponent's rickety body, Mike naturally understood what he meant. With a light swing of his finger, Mrs. Lorice, who was licking at his feet, automatically floated back to Filch's side.
Seeing this, Filch was overjoyed, and bowed deeply to Mike again, then picked up Mrs. Loris and returned to the dumb team.
It's a pity that his original position has been taken up by others, so he had to line up from the beginning.
But despite this, Filch didn't show any disapproval. He hugged Mrs. Loris and walked quickly to the end of the line, his face still filled with a lost and recovered happy smile.
Mike witnessed all this with a thoughtful look on his face.
He turned sideways slightly and said to Victor without turning his head:
"How's your wand researched?"
"Reusable automatic magic wand! This name is not long, I sincerely hope you can remember it, boss!" Victor said with a blank eye, "The automatic magic wand has now been developed to version 2.0, and I will not lower its effect. I used some cheap materials to replace the original materials, but the cost is still relatively high."
"Oh! I see." Mike continued without looking back, "Then can this automatic magic wand release a killing spell?"
"This is impossible! The life-killing curse is different from ordinary curses. Its release requires strong emotions. This is something that alchemy machinery cannot do!"
"So what about Shenfeng Shadowless Curse?" Tianyawei
Hearing that Victor did not answer at the first time, but followed Mike's gaze and looked towards Filch who was queuing up, his expression suddenly became strange.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said:
"It can be, but the magic power consumed by the Shenfeng Shadowless Curse is relatively large. If it is used by a dumb cannon, their magic power will be exhausted in a few times."
"That's it." Mike whispered, "Then mass-produce some shadowless wands of the gods and send them to the dumb guns, and let them be our cannon fodder."
As soon as he said this, not only Victor, but even the others were surprised.
Benjamin frowned and persuaded:
"Mike, this is not a good deal. Even those dumb guns can't help much even if they have the ability to cast spells."
"Follow him, it's so decided."
After that, Mike walked into the elevator without looking back, leaving only Benjamin and others staring at each other.
They really don't understand Mike's thinking.
Fortunately, the Luoshengdu Group has a big business, let alone mass-produced a batch of Shenfeng shadowless wands, even if all the dumb guns in Quanguo are given a set of daily wands, it will not have any impact on the operation of the group. .
Shaking their heads, everyone finally decided not to pursue the matter anymore, and followed Mike into the elevator.
The elevator door gradually closed, looking at Filch and Mrs. Loris, who were slowly disappearing from his field of vision, Mike's mouth rose slightly.
Why did Mike do this?
This problem is not even clear to him.
Is it because of poor guns like Filch that he gave them some hope?
Or simply think that the scene where Filch raised his wand and attacked the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic is more interesting, want to take a look?
Or, both?
Who knows?
...
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Mike walked in mightily with a group of Freemasonry members.
At this time, several people were already sitting on the large conference table in the conference room.
Sitting at the top of the right side of the conference table is an old woman wearing a white dress with her white hair tied up.
This is a representative sent by the witch group, and at the same time the leader of the famous group "Daughters of the Federation" in the circle of ladies-Catherine Delle.
And under her first place is the current president of Gulin Pavilion-Tongmen.
The remaining people are the horse representative Jello, the mermaid representative Lilith, and the Muggle wizard Karen Quat.
It is worth mentioning that Lilith, the representative of the mermaid, is a very pure-looking mermaid woman, and she is also very fierce!
As recorded in the fairy tales of the Muggles, Lilith's fish tail covered with crimson scales was completely immersed in a huge fish tank, and her upper body only used two shells as decorations to cover the murderousness.
For some reason, as soon as he saw her, Mike remembered the portrait of a mermaid in the bathroom of Chief Hogwarts.
Seeing Mike and others appear, Karen instantly got up from his seat and walked up to greet him.
"Mr. Tangli, I finally saw you!"
This is a middle-aged white wizard, but unlike the average middle-aged person, the excess hair on his face is treated thoroughly, which makes him look clean and energetic.
In particular, he still has piercing eyes and a sharp face, the combination of the two adds to him a bit of righteousness.
It's a pity that at this moment, this righteous face was carrying an extremely flattering expression, and the contrast made Mike very surprised.
After looking at the opponent for a long time, Mike stretched out his hand and held the opponent's hand together.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Quitt."
"Where is it? It's my honor." Karen said excitedly, "Mr. Townley, you can call me Karen."
"Okay, Karen, then you have to call me Mike."
...
Mike and Karen talked for a while before finally returning to the conference table.
At this time, the witch Catherine and the goblin Tongmen nodded to Mike, and Ma Renjieluo raised his head proudly, seeming to disdain to talk to Mike.
As for the mermaid Lilith, she smiled and smiled at Mike constantly. If she didn’t look like her lower body was still in the fish tank and couldn’t move, she would jump into Mike’s arms when Mike appeared just now. .
I greeted everyone one by one, and Mike stopped talking nonsense with them. First, he arranged for the Masons to sit down on the left side of the conference table, and then he sat in the top position and said to Karen and others:
"Let's talk about it, guys, why did you come to see me today?"
Hearing that, Catherine, Tongmen and others looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on the Muggle wizard Karen.
Karen's body suddenly stiffened, but under the pressure of everyone's sight, she finally got up and said to Mike with a smile on her face:
"Mr. Tangli, you know, our days have not been so easy these days."
Hearing that the other party's name for himself remained unchanged, Mike smiled and nodded.
It can be seen that this guy named Karen is a very good person, and he also hates praise.
But this does not give him extra points at the negotiating table~EbookFREE.me~ Then Mike said:
"Of course I know this. You should have seen it when I came just now. I set up a relief point downstairs. Muggle wizards, dumb cannons and even intelligent creatures of other races are on the relief list, as long as they have encountered difficulties. If you don’t go down, you can come to receive relief at any time. I think, this is the end of all humanity, right?"
Hearing this, the expression on Karen's face suddenly became complicated. He looked at McKenna's smiling non-smiling face. He just wanted to continue talking, but he could hear the Ma Renjieluo suddenly jumped onto the conference table and raised it. The spear in his hand aimed at Mike.
"The horse talent does not need your charity!"
The horseman Jello roared and was about to stab the spear in his hand, but it was obviously not a wise choice to use a spear to assassinate a legendary wizard.
"boom!"
Everyone in the conference room only heard an explosion, and then a strong red and black flame appeared in front of Mike out of thin air!
