harry potter book of crimes

The way this Lord of the Living Corpses appears is indeed quite mysterious, so much so that most people present still haven't figured out how he appeared. But compared to this mysterious and powerful guy, the arrival of the Twins

There doesn't seem to be much surprise.

No, not only is there nothing surprising, it even makes people feel a little dumbfounded - because the twin living corpses actually came by boat like Muggles!

"Actually, I can also reveal a secret that is not a secret to you humans." The Lord of the Living Corpses sat at the table and turned his head slightly, looking at the speedboat docking near the reef not far away, and was very surprised.

He said casually, "After leaving the clouds that contain the power of soul rules, the strength of the living zombie clan will be slightly reduced - of course, the change will not be too big. This is not the case for the two of them.

The reason for choosing to come by boat. The reason why they used the boat to cross the sea is purely because they do not have the magic talent related to long-distance and fast movement."

"You are the one they swear allegiance to. Is it appropriate to expose their weaknesses like this?" After hearing this, Safina couldn't help but question him.

But who would have thought that the black figure sitting firmly at the table just nodded calmly and said:

"Of course it's appropriate... It's precisely because they trust me so much that I do this, and I'm not worried about what misunderstanding they will have on me after they find out. Because they will believe that everything I do may not be for them.

Okay, but at least it’s impossible to harm them.”

Now that the other party has spoken to this extent, "outsiders" like Safina, even if they have some unnecessary sense of justice, can no longer question and intervene. What's more, even if there is to be a cooperation negotiation next, at least until the negotiation is successful,

, living corpses and humans are both complete enemies.

Safina actually knows very well that showing mercy to the enemy is probably the most stupid behavior in the world.

As a result, the tower platform finally fell into silence again.

To be honest, everyone has been silent too much in the past few days. Such a depressing and slightly negative atmosphere will always suppress everyone's enthusiasm and courage.

Fortunately, the silent atmosphere did not last too long this time, and the twins had already ascended the platform step by step through the stairs of the tower and appeared in front of the wizards.

"Master, good morning... we are late."

As soon as they appeared, the living corpse siblings immediately ignored the large group of wizards on the platform and came directly to the owner to say hello. After the owner shook his head and did not blame, they turned around and looked around.

The wizards nodded, and then stood silently behind their master, as if they had turned into two thugs and bodyguards.

Of course, it's rare for anyone to see a bodyguard who is skinnier than his master.

At this moment, the Lord of the Living Corpses finally withdrew his gaze from the sea outside, and for the first time looked at Miss Lovegood who was sitting across the table without laziness.

"All the participants from both sides of the negotiation have arrived, so...this person must be the next person to negotiate with us on your behalf, right?"

"Yes, this is Miss Luna Lovegood, one of my best and most trusted friends." Hermione, who was standing aside, replied seriously, "In today's negotiation, I have decided to take our side

The expression of opinions is entirely left to her.”

When Hermione said this, she actually felt a little nervous, even though she had already made a decision on this matter.

As for the other party...the Lord of the Living Corpses sitting opposite Luna didn't seem to have any abnormal reaction to this.

"Well," the black figure nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's get started! First of all, let me repeat the ultimate purpose of this negotiation - I hope to promote an alliance between humans and living corpses

Cooperate and defeat those incarnations of sin that should not appear in this world...the so-called 'demons'."

"Including yourself?"

Safina stared at him and said this suddenly, which immediately made the eyes of the twins standing behind the Lord of Living Corpses show a fierce look. But soon, Safina was pulled away by Delphi who was standing aside.

Go to the back.

"I'm sorry," Hermione had to say when she saw this, "I just said that the matter of negotiation has been given to Miss Lovegood. What Miss Geoffrey just said does not count."

Some people choked at this point, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. After all, this is a cooperation negotiation. Even if the negotiation fails in the end or even collapses, it should be the exchange of interests in the negotiation.

The problem should not be this very straightforward offensive rhetoric.

Although... Safina's question does touch on a key point.

"Um……"

The Lord of the Living Corpses, or the demon "Greedy" glanced at Safina, and as expected, did not give a very clear answer to this question.

"I understand that there are some fundamental contradictions between living corpses and humans, demons and humans. It seems impossible for the two of us...or the three of us to be eternal friends. But even if one day we need

Returning to a hostile relationship, at least at this stage, it may not be impossible to cooperate... Miss Lovegood, right? What do you think?"

These words seemed to be clear and coherent, but any decision that would need to be made seemed a bit ambiguous. But at least, he did lay out a feasible way of thinking about the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

Being friends now and enemies in the future is a simple phased compromise negotiation. When cooperation is beneficial to both parties, such negotiations do have value - at least Hermione thinks so.

However, she was not the one negotiating on behalf of the human wizards, so she could only keep her thoughts to herself and watch Luna's back silently.

She could feel that although Luna said nothing during this period and always looked dazed, her attention was still focused on the big dark man across the table.

"Well?"

Luna blinked her eyes, her eyes a little wandering, and she didn't know whether the focus was on the other person. She just tilted her head and looked at the other person for a while, and then said quietly:

"Can you tell me...should we cooperate? I don't quite understand what you are saying...Why would a demon want to deal with other demons? Aren't you all demons?"
