"I've said what you want to know. Now, can I leave...before there are more 'those guys' outside?"

Karkaroff didn't seem to feel very well about being suddenly bumped into by a man he didn't know - even just now, he was saved by Sirius.

However, he obviously didn't want too many people to know that he was currently wandering around Germany.

"Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Karkaroff!" But Sirius was unwilling to let him leave so soon, "Since you have already mentioned the internal strife in the Brandt family, why not

Can you say a few more words? You know, many people outside are very interested in the changes here!"

"Then what do you want to know?"

Karkaroff frowned, looking at his uneasy look, as if he was a Muggle passenger waiting for a delayed flight in the airport terminal.

However, after asking this question, he seemed to have understood something. He looked hesitantly at Sirius, who was still leaning against the wall with a leisurely look on his face, and said:

"Wait a minute... Who do you belong to? You are wandering around the front line at this time, and you are so concerned about the Brandt family. Are you... Haierbo's -"

"Hey!"

Hearing Karkaroff making wild assumptions about his identity, Sirius originally didn't want to pay attention to it. After all, as long as his identity was not exposed at will, it would be difficult for Karkaroff to assume his position no matter what he asked.

The answer will not be too specific.

But this guy actually tried to drag himself to Haierbo's side as soon as he came up, which was a bit intolerable.

"Okay!" After glaring at him angrily, Sirius waved his hand and said, "It's okay to tell you. I'm from the Order of the Phoenix - you should know it?"

"Dumbley... no, Maclean?"

When Karkaroff heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be in a slightly subtle mood.

"Well...yes." Sirius paused for a moment, and seemed to be distracted for a moment, but it was Sirius who quickly continued, "In short, Germany, the second battlefield, obviously cannot be left alone, and in the

At this stage when the disaster continues to expand, if you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, you must start with the Brandt family... Karkaroff, I don't want to worry about your escape from Durmstrang. You love

Run away wherever you go - I just want to know what decision the Brandt family will make next, and...when will those rusty-brained bastards in their family leave?"

By the end of the sentence, Sirius' tone had become very bad. Because after witnessing the changes in the current situation in Germany that was even worse than that in Britain some time ago, he had no idea about the so-called "Brandt family" on the surface.

"The big family" has long been disappointed.

"This..." Karkaroff shrugged, "As I said just now, the radicals and conservatives in the Brandt family are still at a stalemate, so... you know, in the end, one side will definitely win.

Only then will you decide what to do! The most I can tell you is that my 'old friend' Edward may not be able to keep his position as head of the family."

"I remember that Edward Brandt was a radical like the previous head of the family... So, when the conservatives win, the Brandt family will withdraw from Germany?" Sirius thought for a while and said thoughtfully.

.

"That's right, so I left early and didn't stay with Edward any longer." Karkaroff rubbed the itchy stubble with the handle of his cane and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, no matter what you choose,

The Brandt family will definitely suffer heavy losses this time...it’s just a pity that there are several large dragon farms in the territory!”

Although he kept saying that Edward Brandt was his "old friend", when it came to mentioning the fact that the other party was likely to lose in the battle for the head of the family, Karkaroff acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

The attitude of not taking any trouble. I must say? It is really bad luck to make friends with this guy for eight lifetimes.

Sirius looked at him with a trace of contempt clearly on his face. He glanced at Karkaroff and said:

"Is that true? Okay, you can go! Go wherever you want! The further away from the battlefield, the better."

"That's exactly what I planned."

Karkaroff naturally saw Sirius's undisguised contempt for him - of course he would feel uncomfortable in his heart. But compared to this innocuous contempt, to him? Those wandering around outside

The walking corpse is obviously much more important.

"Oh! Wait a minute!" Seeing Karkaroff about to run out, Sirius suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted to stop him, "When you first talked about the internal strife in the Brandt family, didn't you

Did you mention something like 'outsiders took advantage of the situation'?"

"Um?"

Karkarov's figure, who had already reached the door, paused briefly.

"Yes? No, no... you must have heard wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Karkaroff didn't stop anymore and quickly left from the iron gate where he had just come in. Sirius took two quick steps, peeked out from the door and glanced left and right, but he couldn't see the figure of that guy anywhere.

.

"Tsk."

Although if some means are used, it may not be impossible to expose the opponent's body again, but it is actually no longer necessary at the moment. Sirius shook his head, shrank back into the door again, and waited for him to exit the old apartment building again.

When he came out, he had transformed back into the agile black dog.

"Someone is interfering in the Brandt family's family affairs, and it's someone Karkaroff doesn't want to say more about... Could it be Mr. Blois who never showed up this time?"

While Sirius nimbly avoided the living corpses that might find him, he trotted away and continued his previous journey, while his mind was still thinking about the information he took out from Karkaroff's mouth.

Of course he would not believe Karkaroff's last words, but no matter who the other person mentioned might be, the result was always that "someone or some force" intended to promote the Brandt family's retreat.

And obviously, this is exactly the change in form that Sirius hopes for.

In this second battlefield that is getting worse and worse, the Brandt family, which was originally the number one local resistance force, has now gradually become a big obstacle - but the sooner you get out, the better.

good?

Of course, the more important thing is that Sirius' most urgent goal at the moment is to meet with Minerva McGonagall and other Hogwarts teachers and students.

"There are indeed very few outstanding 'pure-blood families'... Now it seems that, except for the Blois family in France, all of them are really either madmen or idiots."

In the shadow, the black dog curled his lips and said.
