Hogwarts Homecoming

Amosta weighed the bag in his hand that had been expanded by the Untraceable Stretching Curse. After the weight was weakened by the constant addition of the Levitation Curse, he was still feeling heavy, which made him extremely happy.

Seven hundred gold Galleons--this is the reward he earned after half a month of starving and eating in the old forests of the Jura Mountains in France, enough to be worth the official staff of Hogwarts or magic One year's salary for senior officials of the ministry.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the chicken-tailed monster's heart brought by Amosta, Kakus, who was sitting opposite him, covered the rough wooden box and smiled with satisfaction.

"Your reputation is the most shining light in the underground world, Mr. Golden Viper, every transaction with you is a perfect enjoyment!"

Amosta silently put away the money bag, turning a blind eye to Kacus Foley's praise, everyone came out to hang out just for the golden Garen, and it's better not to talk about friendship if it is not necessary.

"Any decent commissions recently?"

"You are still as hardworking as ever, Mr. Golden Viper."

Amosta's indifference did not displease Kakus. In fact, most of the people who were active here were cautious in their words and deeds. Those who were as polite and enthusiastic as him were outliers.

Kakus still smiled unabated, and while flattering flattery, he took out his notebook from his arms and flipped through it back and forth.

"What are your requirements for the type of task and the reward?"

"My habits haven't changed from before, Kakus, don't waste each other's time." Amosta said coldly.

"Of course, of course, how can I forget your request - do not accept any entrustment for wizards or Muggles, the entrustment gold is more than five hundred Galleons, and the time to complete the task needs to be as short as possible. I will not forget the habit of any customer , Mr. Golden Viper. But, "

Kakus flipped through the notebook in his hand, murmured something, but his brows gradually tightened until he turned to the latest page of the notebook, but he couldn't pick out any tasks that met Amosta's requirements.

"Well, I'm afraid I have to say sorry to you, Mr. Jin Viper. Quests that fit your habits are generally sought-after ones. Before that, there was a quest to provide raw materials and prepare a magical activity inhibitor potion, worth five hundred and fifty galleons. Unfortunately, it was taken away by someone else three days ago.”

Hearing this, Amosta stood up, turned around and was about to leave, acting resolutely.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Golden Viper!"

Kakus, who had already prepared the groundwork, immediately stopped him. Faced with Amosta's unfriendly gaze, Kakus's forehead was throbbing with veins. He was afraid that the person in front of him would directly take out his wand and nail him to the ground with a spear, like He used to deal with those unruly werewolves.

"no offense,"

Kakus quickly explained, "I really don't have any commissions that meet your requirements. However, there are still some commissions that are very lucrative and risky. Would you be interested in hearing about them?"

"Higher risk?"

Cacus Foley, who has been hanging around here all year round, can evaluate the high-risk tasks, which will definitely not be small jobs such as smuggling. Cus nodded.

"Let's talk about it first."

Kakus subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. It is not an easy job to earn agency fees from dangerous wizards like Golden Viper. You don’t know where you will offend them inexplicably and lead to your death. Therefore, you must Be prepared to flee for your life.

"The reward for the first entrustment is 20,000 galleons"

Just hearing the amount of the entrustment, Amosta immediately twitched his eyebrows and held his breath.

"--The client sent me a magic contract from Albania. He hopes that someone can help him rescue the Lestrange couple and the Carlo brothers and sisters from Azkaban--this commission, do you think?"

"Hmph, I'm not that stupid, Kakus, I refuse this commission."

Amostar refused without hesitation.

If it was just to save people, Amosta might have hesitated considering the weight of Gallon. Although the dementors in Azkaban were dangerous, they were not impossible for him to deal with.

The real danger of this mission lies in the fact that there are problems with the people being saved.

No one in the wizarding world would know that the Lestrange couple and the Carlo brothers and sisters are the most radical Death Eaters. Once someone rescues them, it can be predicted that Dumbledore, who spent the rest of his life fighting Voldemort, will definitely intervene Investigation, Amostar does not want to waste the rest of his life on escape.

Besides, the location of Azkaban is a top secret in the magic world, and it is very time-consuming to find it.

Kakus was not surprised by Amosta's straightforward refusal. According to him, the person who issued the task probably drank too much Flame Whiskey and was not so clear-headed. After all, who would be willing to face the dementor? Blame that disgusting, terrifying creature?

"Your choice is very wise, Mr. Jin Viper, then, let me think about it --- there is another commission, someone claims to have found the address of a magic relic built by a powerful wizard in ancient times, and hopes to recruit some extraordinary wizards to work on it. Guard, the client said that they can't provide a direct high commission, but they are willing to share the discoveries in the ruins with the explorers, look at this commission—"

It is indeed possible to get high returns from searching for relics, not only items such as gold, silver and gemstones, there are likely to be many ancient magics that are now lost in the relics that are known for their pursuit of power. If you can learn from them, it will be beneficial to yourself The improvement of strength is not without benefits.

However, after thinking for a while, Amosta still rejected the commission.

It's not because of the fear of risks. Exploring the ruins also requires a lot of time to prepare, and the result with a high probability will be nothing. Amosta doesn't like to pin his income on unreasonable luck.

Kakus was very patient, and he introduced several long-cherished commissions to Amosta, but each commission either had a disproportionate benefit to the risk, or would cause huge troubles after completion. Exceptions were rejected.

In the end, even Kakus was troubled by Amosta's pickiness, and he sat there frowning and thinking for a long time without saying a word,

"There is one more, the last one, Mr. Jin Kui, if you are not satisfied——"

After a while, Kakus stretched his head with a cautious expression. Although he couldn't see the expression behind the magic vortex on Amosta's face, he was still doing his best to observe the dangerous guy opposite.

"Have you heard of... Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

Amosta's body trembled. Although the memory of the plot in the previous life has basically been lost, as long as anyone who has studied at Hogwarts, it is impossible not to have heard that Amosta has sex with people in the underground world. After all, the spells he casts and the spellcasting habits are cultivated under the modern orthodox magic education, and there is nothing to hide.

"It's just a Hogwarts campus legend, why bring that up?"

Seeing Amosta took the bait, Kakus secretly delighted, but remained calm,

"You don't stay in the country often, so you may not know it. Although the Daily Prophet has no relevant reports, the news has spread in private. It is said that the secret room has really been opened. In Hogwarts, someone rented the secret room The power of the world is causing panic, and Dumbledore can't do anything about it..."

"etc!"

Amosta interrupted Kakus unceremoniously, "What does this have to do with the entrustment, is it possible that someone hired me to protect those children in the school?"

"of course not!"

Kakus smiled slyly,

"However, the name of Salazar Slytherin is indeed attractive enough, right? The client believes that Slytherin left secret treasures in the secret room and was obtained by the so-called heirs. Otherwise, how to explain that even Dumbledore The powerful guys can't find any clues?"

Amosta kept silent. He really didn't remember much of the plot of the original book, but at least he remembered that there didn't seem to be any wealth, magic, or powerful alchemy props left in the secret room.

However, according to the greedy nature of the wizards here, it is not surprising to have such speculation.

After all, the founding Big Four of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are all powerful wizards with official history and powerful mana that ordinary people cannot match. Once their legacy appears, people will definitely flock to it.

"Even if that's the case,"

Amosta was unmoved, "Would someone dare to rush into Hogwarts and Dumbledore to grab things, it would be safer to go to Azkaban to catch those lunatics."

"It's not necessarily to grab, but to use a more reasonable way."

Kakus was in high spirits, as if he was determined to persuade Amosta,

"I can provide some help, for example, let you enter that school in the name of an external investigator of the school board—

The venerable wizards on our school board need to respond a little to the growing discontent with the horrors happening at the school, but at the same time, they are also worried that the attacks will continue, and the wizards they send will do nothing. function, so that it becomes the laughing stock of people,

But if there are reliable wizards, they are willing to negotiate with Dumbledore-after all, Dumbledore's performance in this series of events is disappointing, and they may feel that he is a little old, so he is a bit dull..."

"It seems that you have planned to follow me long ago."

If you hear that Amosta hasn’t discovered this yet, you’d be really stupid. It’s not that Kakus doesn’t have commissions for tastes, and those high-risk missions proposed earlier are just bait. The real purpose is to hope that I can accept the last commission.

Sure enough, it was still seen through.

Kakus' heart tightened, showing a humble smile,

"After all, Albus Dumbledore's consent is required for the selection of investigators. Therefore, wizards from Hogwarts are the first choice. Strength and reputation are also very important. Here, only you meet the requirements."

Amostar is undeniable,

"How do you solve the problem of confidentiality of identity? You should know that this will expose my true face."

As smart as Kacus Foley, he has naturally considered this issue long ago, and he can't wait to guarantee,

"The client will not know that Mr. Jin Viper took over the commission. Although the school board will know your name in the outside world, they will not find out your identity in the underground world from me."

"how about you,"

Amostar asked aggressively, "In your plan, you are the only person who will know my identity in the outside world and the underground world at the same time. How do you ensure that you are trustworthy?"

"Unbreakable oath, on the life of everyone in the Foley family as a guarantee, and will always keep your identity a secret."

Amosta stared at Kakus's not-so-young face, and didn't rush to make a statement.

"It seems that you can get a very large return from this commission, right?"

"This is my personal secret, Mr. Golden Viper."

Kakus seemed to be winning, he smiled and said

"Eight thousand gold Galleons, plus the gratitude of the school board, maybe you can even get an award from the Ministry of Magic in exchange for the secret treasure in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets—Mr. Golden Viper. This deal is very good..."
