Harry Potter and MI6
Chapter 52 'Swan Lake'
After dialing the phone, a hazy voice came from the other side. Apparently Lu Ke's call disturbed the other party's sleep.
"……Hello?"
"Sorry to disturb your rest, Sir Humphrey, I am Luke Zeppelin."
"Luke? Oh! Luke...oh, thank God, you finally called!"
The other party suddenly became energetic, and Luke heard a noise on the other end, as if Humphrey had sat up from the bed.
"Sorry, I just found the opportunity to contact you."
"No, no, no, it's nothing. I know the nature of your work and how difficult it is for you to proactively contact the organization. Ah... I think I should get down to business."
"Please tell me." Although it seems that Sir Humphrey has a completely different understanding of the nature of his work than Bernard, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. The other party fully understands his behavior of being half a month late.
"Do you know "Swan Lake"?" Humphrey's voice calmed down and he talked about the so-called serious matter.
"You mean a ballet?" Luke wasn't sure what he knew about "Swan Lake" had to do with what Humphrey was about to say.
"Yes, Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" has extremely powerful charm and vitality. It is a classic among classical ballet classics. It has been tempered by the times and has extraordinary artistic value." Humphrey
Jazz talked eloquently and spoke very fast as he introduced the achievements of this ballet.
But soon his voice became deeper again and he said: "But generally we think that when 'Swan Lake' is played on a loop on a country's TV station, it means something bad is happening."
"Sorry, which country's TV station broadcasts "Swan Lake" on a loop?"
"It is a place so close yet so far away from us, huge and powerful, and its relationship with the United Kingdom is tense and inseparable... Generally we call it the Soviet Union."
At the end of the sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller, and the answer he gave surprised Luke as to why a British knight would talk to him about this.
"I mean, you should know that the KGB, the Soviet National Security Council, the intelligence agency that is as famous as MI6, will send spies to the UK, right?" Humphrey spoke again, this time Lu Ke could finally take over.
A worthy topic.
"Yes I know."
"In this case, our MI6 will also send some personnel to the Soviet Union. I think this is understandable, right?"
"Yes, it should be so." Lu Ke gradually caught something.
"The thing is, although this is not the first time that "Swan Lake" has been played on a loop, this time it seems to be particularly serious because I received a request for help from the KGB...I mean MI6."
"..." Luke pretended not to hear his slip of the tongue, but secretly wrote it down, planning to report it to Bernard later.
"Anyway, if you can, I hope you can do me a favor." Humphrey's tone was a little pleading.
"Can you tell me what it is?" Lu Ke decided to listen.
"Help me go to Moscow and bring someone back..." Humphrey took a deep breath, "She is a member of MI6 like you, but she seems to be too obsessed with work and ignores the dangers around her. If possible,
I hope you can go and bring him back."
The content of this request was unexpected.
Luke asked: "Why me?"
"You and her have many similarities... Bernard and I have discussed that if anyone can complete this task perfectly, you are definitely the best choice." Humphrey replied.
"Is this a private matter?"
"Yes, you can think so."
"Can I make a decision later? This is for me..." Lu Ke hesitated.
"Oh, of course, I think we still have time, hahaha." Humphrey smiled pretending to be relaxed, but it seemed that he couldn't hide the bitterness in his laughter. He really wanted Lu Ke to make proofs, but obviously didn't want to be forced to
Too tight and the road may be rejected.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sir Humphrey, good night." Luke hung up the phone politely.
Luke pondered Humphrey's words and dialed Bernard's phone number.
"Good evening, Luke."
Compared to Humphrey, Bernard's voice was very sober, and it seemed that he didn't feel sleepy at all at this time.
"Good evening, Mr. Bernard, I just contacted Sir Humphrey..."
Luke recounted the conversation with Humphrey and emphasized that the other party may have connections with the KGB.
"Oh... I think I understand. Don't worry about Sir Humphrey's loyalty to the country. I can guarantee that." Bernard thought for a while, vouched for Humphrey, and then said again, "But
I still hope you can take on this task."
"Can you tell me the reason?"
"The girl you need to bring back to Moscow is indeed a member of MI6. Like you, she participated in the mission at a very young age, and her initial contact person was Sir Humphrey, but after a series of
Due to changes, her contact person was changed to me a few years ago."
Bernard told the girl's life story in an orderly manner.
"As for this series of changes...she came into contact with the Soviet magic world."
"Sir Humphrey said nothing of this to me."
"Yes, because he doesn't know," Bernard replied, "He doesn't know anything about it now."
"Isn't that the similarity he mentioned?"
"Yes, he knows that you are all special, but that's all."
"He said that choosing me was a conclusion reached through discussion with you. Mr. Bernard, what is your reason for choosing me?"
"Do you still remember what I mentioned to you about the desire to integrate the magical world with human society?" Bernard smiled and said, "In fact, the Soviet Union has already achieved this in a sense, which is why that little
The girl will be exposed to the Soviet magic world, I hope you can go and see it."
"And the style of wizards over there is different. It would be good for you to get to know her. Moreover, this girl is of great significance to Sir Humphrey. If you can accept this task, he will support you unconditionally. Maybe I didn't tell you,
In his capacity as private secretary, Sir Humphrey is my boss."
After Bernard said this, he added: "Don't worry about academic problems. I have a way to help you ask for leave, and this task shouldn't be very difficult. Although she doesn't know your existence yet, I think you will be very happy."
There is a common language.”
"Okay, I think I'll consider taking this task."
Bernard's argument was very attractive, and both Humphrey and the Soviet wizarding community were very interested in it.
"I'm glad you made this decision." Bernard's tone was very sincere.
"May I know that girl's name?"
"Although Sir Humphrey should tell you, you will know sooner or later. Her name is Ekaterina Ulanova."
