As long as the door keys and wands were confiscated, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they feigned surrender.
"Yes!"
Tom agreed helplessly, this was the suffering of being someone's subordinate.
After all the door keys and wands were confiscated, Ethan stepped forward and placed a wight mark on each of them.
With everything done, this Nibelungen could be dispelled, and the world returned from black and white to color. Except for a few less living people and a few more spirits, everything around them remained unchanged, the tables and chairs were still intact.
It's just that Ethan noticed that the moment the Nibelungen spell was turned off, it seemed to react to these spirits.
But Ethan didn't have that much time to deal with these things right now.
"Who's in charge here now?"
Ethan scanned everyone present.
"It's me!"
The first person who surrendered stood up.
"You're the deputy leader?"
Ethan looked at him with some surprise, so the one who led the surrender was the deputy leader, no wonder everyone surrendered without any resistance afterwards.
"No, I'm not the deputy leader, the deputy leader is still outside, I'm in charge of sales, I'm responsible for sales and distribution in various countries."
The surrender leader was a little embarrassed, the former boss treated him well, even the deputy leader's treatment was not as good as his, but he still surrendered, even the first one to surrender.......
"Tell me about your deputy leader's situation."
"The deputy leader's name is Montgomery Abbott, he took a team to the Far East..."
After listening to him for seven or eight minutes, Ethan also learned about the general situation.
Montgomery Abbott was in charge of the magical creature capture, and now he went to the Far East, the chaos there has lasted for many years, and it is still not very stable, the Ministry of Magic there is smuggling magical creatures internally, which is simply a paradise for Slughorn, spending a lot of time there every year.
Also, this deputy leader is newly promoted, he was not in the organization before, and was pulled in by the leader to become the organization's deputy.
The main reason was that the previous deputy leader was killed in Great Britain, and the team responsible for poaching abroad was also half废状态.
Until this new deputy leader arrived, he suppressed the members of these poaching teams who had escaped with his strength, and then re-recruited black wizards after training, which allowed the organization to operate again.
In general, this newly appointed deputy leader is still very capable.
Moreover, next month is the day they come back to rest, and at the same time, they have to take orders to capture magical creatures in other places.
"If you get rid of that deputy leader, can you integrate the organization?"
"Yes, I handle many things in the organization."
Next, Ethan took Tom and him to complete the handover and familiarize themselves with all the information here.
At the same time, Ethan also planned to let Tom stay here for a while to rectify it properly. If the deputy leader can surrender, then surrender, if not, then kill him.
I believe Tom can do these little things well.
It's a pity that the progress of Knockturn Alley has to stop, there's no way, Voldemort's Horcruxes are many, but only this one can give birth to wisdom.
Otherwise, find some means to control them, wouldn't there be a few more tools.
Ethan stayed here for three days.
He gained million Galleons, which were all the legacy of Sam Joyce, who was killed by Ethan, which shows the profitability of this business.
At the same time, he also completed an achievement.
【Wealthy】
Possessing 200,000,000 gold and silver, wealth like mountains of brocade
Achievement Goal: Have 300,000 Galleons (1/1)
Achievement Reward: Random magic spell
This time Ethan drew the Peace Guard, a protective magic.
It can protect an area within it, causing the incoming spells to shift direction.
For the current Ethan, it doesn't have much effect, the houses in Godric's Hollow have already been set up with these spells.
After saying goodbye to Tom and others, Ethan directly used the portkey to arrive in Great Britain.
And went to Gringotts as soon as possible, directly opened a vault of the highest specification, and deposited million Galleons in it.
As for the Slughorn organization, the organization is still mainly engaged in poaching and selling magical creatures, even if Ethan doesn't do it, there will be others who do it, it can't be banned.
Many Ministry of Magic officials are doing these businesses themselves.
For example, the Director of the Magical Creature Protection Department of the US Ministry of Magic has a good relationship with Sam Joyce, and the two often have tea and chat.
But this relationship is also based on Galleons, and every time a convenience is opened, a fee must be paid.
This time the organization's leader changed, although the other party was a little regretful, but the transaction between the two parties still exists.
Chapter 148: Hagrid's Intertwined Pain and Joy
Woof! Woof! Woof!
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Fang smelled a familiar scent, barking and running happily towards a small path beside him.
Ethan rubbed Fang's head and took it to Hagrid's residence. Fang must be at home with Hagrid.
"Ethan, I knew it was you."
Hagrid walked out of the door, still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to the Forbidden Forest.
Just hearing Fang's voice, he knew that Ethan had arrived.
After raising it for so long, Hagrid could already hear the emotions represented in Fang's bark.
"Long time no see, Hagrid, how have you been recently?"
"I'm not bad, it's just that you should have come more this summer, Onyxia threw a tantrum, I can't stop her."
Hagrid scratched his beard and said in a muffled voice.
When Ethan was in school, it was okay, he often ran to the Forbidden Forest, and met Onyxia more often.
But since the summer vacation started, a month has passed, and Ethan has not been here once. Half a month ago, Onyxia started to act up, making the entire Forbidden Forest restless.
Although Onyxia is only over a year old now, her size has exceeded thirteen meters, and she is definitely a bully in the Forbidden Forest. Even the centaurs avoid her, and the Acromantulas stay far away, for fear of being targeted.
The animals in the Forbidden Forest are not having a good time, and I am also unlucky, because the Forbidden Forest has been messed up by Onyxia, but I can't leave it alone, I have to deal with it myself.
This is also the reason why Hagrid is preparing to run to the Forbidden Forest in broad daylight.
"I've been a little busy recently!"
Ethan was also a little embarrassed. Putting Onyxia in the Forbidden Forest did add a lot of trouble to Hagrid.
When Ethan went to Nico's place last summer vacation, he hadn't seen it for quite a while. At that time, Onyxia was just a small, young dragon, and Dennis and the others were all shedding tears of excitement when they parted.
This shows how much trouble the now-grown Onyxia has brought to Hagrid.
"You go with me to see Onyxia first, and make it stable. The centaurs have come to me several times, and even Aragog has sent its children to find me. If you don't come over again, I was going to write to you."
Ethan didn't respond, feeling guilty. To be able to make the honest Hagrid complain like this shows how deep his resentment is.
If Onyxia weren't a fire dragon, Hagrid would probably be planning how to make it leave.
"By the way, Ethan, do you still have any fire dragon tonic? The one you left with me is almost used up."
Hagrid was a little embarrassed when he said this.
When Ethan left for summer vacation, he gave him two and a half months' worth for two dragons, but he used up most of it in one month, and the rest would last for half a month at most.
But there was no way around it. Onyxia would throw a tantrum, and he couldn't soothe it like he sang to Fluffy, otherwise it would be even more irritable. The only thing that worked was the fire dragon tonic.
Norbert saw that Onyxia had more fire dragon tonic to eat when it made a fuss, so it followed suit, resulting in a sharp increase in the consumption speed of the fire dragon tonic.
"Yes, I'll get you some more when I leave later."
Fire dragon tonic is just energy cubes, a name Ethan gave Hagrid when Norbert was young and malnourished.
There are no energy cubes in this world, only tonics for various animals. The most famous one is rat tonic, which is sold in pet stores in Diagon Alley. There is no problem for Ethan to introduce a fire dragon tonic.
As for Hagrid's excessive consumption, Ethan knew without asking. After all, besides feeding it to the fire dragons, there was no other choice. There were only those two fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest.
Having just made a fortune a few days ago, Ethan didn't care about the small amount of money it cost to make energy cubes.
Just as Hagrid and Ethan walked to the fire dragon's territory, a gust of evil wind swept over the sky, and a huge shadow enveloped Ethan and Hagrid together.
Accompanied by an excited dragon roar, Onyxia landed with a bang, splashing countless dust and dirt.
Ethan stepped forward and touched Onyxia's head. Now, one of its dragon scales is half the size of a palm.
Bang!
Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object landing, Norbert also came. As its size continued to increase, Norbert's belly became larger and larger, round and round, severely slowing down its flight speed.
Woo~
Ethan understood, it wanted him to ride on it.
With one hand grabbing Onyxia's drooping neck, he used his waist strength to flip directly up, sitting firmly at the junction of the neck and back.
Hagrid looked at Norbert expectantly. Although Norbert's size had been surpassed by Onyxia, it had reached more than twelve meters, so it should be able to carry Hagrid.
But Norbert gave Hagrid a look of disgust, and flew out with Onyxia without turning its head.
"Sigh!"
Hagrid sighed heavily, then rubbed Aragog's dog head, and then cheered up.
And led Aragog to the direction where the two dragons flew.
Hagrid knew where they were going, because there was nothing special about that place except for the dragon's lair.
Ethan sat on the dragon's back, and soon arrived at a stone cave on the cliff by the Black Lake. The space inside was quite large and dry.
This is the dragon's lair chosen by Onyxia, and Norbert's is not far away, with a similar one.
The location in the Forbidden Forest just now was their activity and hunting area.
Following Onyxia into the depths of the cave, this was all materials from magical creatures: Chimaera, Thestral, Occamy, Manticore, Grindylow…
It basically included most of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Only the materials from the Acromantula were not easy to store, otherwise Ethan had no doubt that the Acromantula's materials would occupy a considerable part here.
His own fire dragon has grown up and can make money!
After collecting all the materials, Ethan rode on the dragon's back again and was taken by Onyxia to fly in the sky for almost an hour before being put down.
After personally feeding the two fire dragons with energy cubes, Ethan walked to Hagrid's side.
"I brought you some gifts, I don't know if you can arrange them."
From Slughorn's organization, Ethan brought out a lot of magical creatures, mainly to prepare for making magic blood potions after school started.
It's definitely not suitable to keep them by his side. The number is quite large and they can eat a lot. The Forbidden Forest is still the first choice.
At the same time, it can also enrich the biodiversity in the Forbidden Forest and increase the difficulty for Hogwarts little wizards who want to explore the Forbidden Forest.
"Gifts, what are they?"
Hagrid was still looking forward to it. The alchemical giant crossbow that Ethan gave him last Christmas was really useful.
"Your favorite magical creatures."
"Fire dragons?"
Hagrid glanced at Norbert and Onyxia. If he could get another fire dragon in the past, he would definitely jump up excitedly.
But now he doesn't have that excitement anymore, but instead starts to worry, worrying about whether he can withstand the torment of three fire dragons.
"No."
Ethan shook his head regretfully. Although there was a Peruvian Vipertooth there, Ethan did not bring it.
The Peruvian Vipertooth is less than five meters long, has the fastest flying speed among fire dragons, and can transmit a disease called Dragon Pox.
Also, Peruvian Vipertooths are not protected and have become rampant in North America. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, the Ministry of Magic has set up a special dragon slaying team to clear their numbers.
Ethan has no interest in them at all.
"Phoenix?"
