Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic

"This is Frank Goss. He once hunted down a lot of Nimion giant lions, and most of the rough stones you bought came from him."

Jacqueline pointed to the only hunter out of the three who was not dressed so luxuriously, and introduced to LeMay.

He has a whisker, and his half-length black hair is casually draped over his shoulders. The wooden armor on his body is slightly cracked, and it is full of claw marks. It looks like he should be a seasoned hunter.

He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lemay,

"Hello, Frank Goss." Introduced himself in a short and breezy manner.

"Hello, Nicholas Flamel." LeMay also humbly shook hands with him.

When he stretched out his hand in front of Auston, Auston also held his hand politely,

"Hello, Auston Brown, this is my first time hunting, please give me more advice."

Frank laughed and patted his shoulder vigorously

"You are brave, young man!"

Auston smiled wryly and rubbed his painful shoulder. He would bet that the place Frank had patted must be green. With just this slap, the estimates of any giant lion and giant tiger will be smeared.

After they got to know Frank, Jacqueline pointed to another tall boy with blond hair and introduced,

"This is Jim Norris, fresh out of Durmstrang. Also a rookie, this time his father tried to get me to take him into the Balkan forest as well. Because of my friendship with old Norris, I can only carry this tow oil bottle."

The boy looked very nervous, his white face was sweating all the time, and Auston felt that the heavy breastplate on his body made him unable to breathe.

The boy shook hands with them embarrassedly,

"Hello, Mr. Lemay, my father often mentions you, I'm really glad to be with you."

LeMay's polite response didn't hold back at all because he was an inconspicuous junior.

Auston also squinted at him, guessing where the boy came from.

"Hello, Auston, I heard that you are from Hogwarts," the blond boy walked up to Auston and shook hands with him,

"Aren't you in the first grade? Why did you come here? Today will be a great adventure. Can you protect yourself?"

I really can't chat! Faced with such a provocative question, Auston did not answer. He looked at the boy's slightly trembling arms and thin body, and did not hide the disdain on his face.

"Don't look at me like that." Facing Oston Howe's distrustful eyes, the boy became anxious, "Although I'm also a rookie, I do my homework well in school, so I might not be able to help myself, but it's more than enough to protect myself. ."

"Haha," Auston smiled unnaturally. "I don't mind. I'm here to see it. If there is any danger, Mr. Lemay will protect me."

Jim swept back and forth between Auston and Lemay somewhat enviously, and remained silent.

"And this one," Jacqueline said, pointing to the last person. "He's Case Sandy, and he's one of the best in the hunter world."

The man also came up to greet LeMay and the others, and Auston watched him secretly from the corner of his eye.

He has yellow teeth, his voice is as greasy as his hair, his eyes are full of shrewd light, and he looks cunning.

When shaking hands with Auston, he also took a careful look at the dragonskin bag attached to Auston's waist. Auston dodged and covered the bag with his robe before he took back his sly gaze.

Finally, when everyone was introduced, Jacqueline passed through the greasy curtain again, took out two old wooden breastplates similar to Frank's, and handed them to Lemay.

"One piece by one Galleon," she said bluntly, and glanced at Auston again,

"Just three xikes for the little ones."

Auston carefully looked at the two pieces of armor, one large and one small. The thin spliced ​​wood was stained with oil, and there were slight cracks on the edges. It didn't look like it was worth a Galleon at all.

Lemay didn't mind at all. He smiled and took out a gold coin and three silver coins from the pocket under his robe and handed them to Jacqueline. Bending down again, he tied the small breastplate to Auston, and after examining it carefully, he stood up and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Don't dislike it. The more simple things are, the more they can save your life in times of danger."

He winked at Auston and put his breastplate on himself.

"Okay!" When they were all ready, Jacqueline clapped her hands and called everyone to come.

"Our destination this time is the Lovechi district of Bulgaria. Recently, a violent Nimion giant lion appeared in the primeval forest under the Balkan Mountains. It was about five times the size of a normal giant lion. We concluded that its There must be a rough Nimien stone in the body. Of course, I told you before calling you, if Mr. Lemay caught the giant lion, then he would only keep the rough stone, and other things like fur, internal organs and bones. Individuals are equally divided. If the rest of us successfully hunt the giant lion, the rough stone will be sold to Mr. Lemay at twice the market price, and the rest will be handled by the winner himself. If it is the giant lion that we all get together, then Lemay The gentleman will buy the rough Nimien stone at the normal market price, and we will share the price and the rest equally. No one has any objection to this distribution plan now.”

If Lemay gets the giant lion, then even if the other people involved don't provide any help, they can get the other quarter except for the rough Nimien stone. Of course, Auston is a child, and everyone doesn't give him any help at all. In the denominator, that is five times the size of a normal giant lion, which means that each person can almost get the amount of a normal giant lion, or even more. Needless to say, if someone else successfully hunted a giant lion, they would get twice the price of the rough stone, which is more than the price of ten giant lions.

It obviously sounded to be beneficial to their side, and several people agreed decisively. Auston noticed that only the corners of Case Sandy's mouth twitched, and the answer was half a beat slower.

It seemed that he was an insatiable greedy guy. Maybe this guy was going to hold him back. Auston thought to himself how he could get rid of him without a trace after entering the woods.

Seeing that they all nodded in agreement, Jacqueline clapped her hands again and said loudly,

"But, I believe everyone knows that it is extremely dangerous for us to go here. At that time in the forest, we must take care of each other. If anyone sees death, turns away, or has another dispute over the distribution issue..."

Her warning eyes swept over everyone,

"I will definitely make it impossible for him to hang out in the hunter world or even the wizarding world! You all know that I have this ability!"

"Of course," she changed her words,

"After all, in order to hunt that beast, my hunters have also lost a lot. It can be seen that the aggression of giant lions cannot be underestimated. If anyone is really unfortunate to be buried in the mouth of the lion, don't blame others! Remember, you are here, yes For profit! You died, but also for profit!"
