Hogwarts Homecoming

Clang!

The white skeleton with a trace of blood-red on it fell to the ground with a bang, scaring away many of the spotted mangs under the rotten wooden floor.

After killing the hunchback witch, the black hurricane formed by the interweaving of multiple black mists subsided.

They floated in the air, with four or five pairs of scarlet eyes facing the golden viper.

Swish!

Suddenly, the black mists gathered again. They did not try to escape, but curled up again in the broken glass fish tank, trembling and staring at the golden viper.

The golden viper was speechless for a while, and then lifted his cloak, and the magic vortex on his face dissipated, revealing a young face.

"What the hell is this?"

Wen Ruili tried to kill them with the creatures she raised, but she was backfired and lost her life.

The scene in front of him was both terrifying and grotesque. Kakus looked at the freshly baked skeleton on the ground and the surging black clouds in the fish tank with horror, and asked in a lost voice.

"Not sure--"

Amosta shook his head frankly.

The messy methods passed down by these secret witches are completely different from those of modern wizards. Amosta could only vaguely feel that the thoughts emanating from these black clouds did not belong to humans, but more like magical creatures.

"What about this ghost thing?"

"It must be removed, otherwise the villagers down the mountain will suffer."

Amosta whispered.

The monster in the fish tank seemed to have a clear mind. After Amosta said this, the curled up black smoke immediately surged violently.

Stab!

The sudden high-frequency scream made Kakus kneel on the ground, covering his ears with a painful expression, and even Amosta's mind was in a trance for a moment.

Taking advantage of the short moment, the black cloud suddenly expanded and completely crushed the fish tank, and then, like a meteor, it crashed into the window!

Buzz!

And just as they were about to rush out of the house, the world was frozen!

A golden spark slowly floated through the stagnant space. The moment it came into contact with the black mist, the mist suddenly turned into a fireball like a ball of cotton. In an instant, only a few wisps of smoke remained.

Whoosh!

A breeze poured into the room from the broken window, brushing away the stench in the house. The bright moonlight was finally able to shine into the house, making the dim room clear.

"How many is this, Kakus?"

Raising his hand to destroy the bones on the ground, Amosta returned to the sofa, his voice calm.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Kakus took out a parchment with names written on it from his arms, and his fingertips flowed across the paper, stopping at a name. "No." Looking up, Kakus hesitated. "This is the seventeenth in ten days, Mr. Brian. Do you think we should hold off for a while? Although we haven't revealed anything, so many famous people have disappeared from the underground world in such a short time. There will always be people who are suspicious and will notice our actions." "I'll listen to you--" Amosta said, "I just happened to have an appointment to talk about something. By the way, Kakus, I have a task here and need to post a commission with you." The famous Amosta Brian, if he wants to do something, there are a lot of people running around for him, but he still has to issue commissions in the underground world. Kakus immediately realized that this task might not be simple. "Of course, no problem. Then--"

Kacus quickly took out his notebook from the inner pocket of his coat,

"What is the specific content of the mission?"

"Well, an escort mission, it is a huge amount of wealth."

Amosta thought for a while, and then continued,

"The person who accepts this commission needs to be highly skilled, and it will be very dangerous to emphasize it.

It is almost certain that someone will come to hijack. Of course, the contract must restrict their behavior. They themselves cannot be tempted by the escorted treasures and must loyally protect the treasures and fight for them."

Hmm. Is it related to that learning machine workshop?

This thought flashed through Kakus' mind, but he did not ask more questions.

"So, how many people do you need, and what is the reward you are willing to pay?"

"There is no upper limit on the number of people. I only require high skills and willingness to accept the contract."

Amosta said calmly,

"As for the reward. Two thousand galleons, two thousand per person."

"Two thousand per person?!"

Kakus, who was concentrating on recording, stopped writing suddenly and looked at Amosta in astonishment.

"This may cost you tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of galleons. Are you really... I mean, maybe you can limit the number of people, or reduce the commission appropriately?"

"No need."

Amosta Star spoke calmly, and he took out a heavy purse from his arms, "Here are 20,000 gold galleons. Everyone who signs the contract can advance half of the commission. If it's not enough, you can pay it for me first, Kakus, and I will pay it back to you later.

Well. Tell the wizards who accept the task that the remaining half will be paid to them regardless of whether the task succeeds or fails. Um--"

After a pause, Amosta continued,

"If they are worried that they can't survive this task, they can leave an address for the balance payment, and I will send the remaining money to them."

Looking at Amosta with a calm expression, Kakus looked more and more surprised.

The Golden Viper is not a generous wizard. How much wealth does Amosta have to transport to make him spend so much money?

"So, what is the starting time and starting point of the task?" Kakus asked cautiously.

"The starting point of the mission needs to be kept secret for the time being. In short, it is in the UK. As for the start time of the mission--"

Amosta pondered,

"It will be around the end of the month. A few days before the mission starts, you need to gather all the personnel together and not allow them to communicate with the outside world."

After Kakus recorded it, he checked whether he had any omissions. After confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief,

"Will you personally participate in the escort mission?"

"Oh, this--"

A light flashed in Amosta's eyes that Kakus could not understand, and the smile on his face was particularly deep,

"Maybe. Maybe not. In short, it depends on the situation."

The two left the hunchback witch's house and stood on the flat land that had been repaired on the top of the mountain, looking down at the mountain.

The lights were on, and the lights of thousands of houses dotted on the plain were like spider webs.

"Do we need to destroy this place completely?"

Kakus looked back at the old house of the hunchback witch and looked at Amosta sideways.

"A lonely evil old witch has no intersection with the Muggles down the mountain, and no intersection with the normal wizarding society. There is no need to make a fuss--"

Amosta shook his head,

"By the way, Kakus, I think you haven't forgotten what I told you before?"

"Of course."

Kakus, who looked relaxed, became nervous.

"You need to prepare as soon as possible--"

Amosta nodded slightly,

"The department that accommodates the new group of secret witches will be established soon. Its functional structure, how to carry out work after its establishment, and what kind of policy support is needed, all the details need to be finalized by you."

"I understand--"

Kakus nodded heavily,

"After the last discussion, I thought about it and I think that the priority is to establish a professional knowledge and skills assessment mechanism for secret witches. After this mechanism is established, the recognition of the Ministry of Magic is very important. Of course--"

Kakus Kus pursed his lips,

"Your learning machine workshop is very popular in the current magic world. Its generous treatment attracts many people to apply for it. If this workshop can set an example and issue a statement that it is willing to recruit secret wizards who have passed the assessment mechanism."

"That's not a problem."

Amosta nodded approvingly,

"I will find a chance to talk to Remus. Don't forget to warn them that those inappropriate magics must be abandoned. We have built a bridge for them to integrate into the modern wizard society, and they must also make sacrifices."

Kacus nodded in agreement.

"Then, I have to go to Paris, Kacus--"

Amosta patted Kacus on the shoulder and smiled happily,

"Thank you for taking care of the commission. See you later--"

After that, Amosta disappeared in the breeze wandering on the mountains.
