Chapter 333: Dragon Tail Realm

"Okay," Schelling said: "It's good to have a sense of competition, but don't do it so much that it affects the emotion and cohesion of the team."

After saying that, Xie Lin looked at Mo Rui, Zhang Qiu, Susan and the other girls, and said in a deep voice: "Compared to the Dragon Head Group, at this stage, I pay more attention to the development of the other four groups -"

In the Mianlong Club, the Dragon Chief Group is responsible for frontal combat, and its duty is simply the same - to train enough strong and sufficient combat power.

The other groups are Dragon Wings, Dragon Tail, Dragon Soul, and Dragon Eyes.

Leaving aside Dragon Wings and Dragon Soul, the most important ones at this stage are Long Wei, who is responsible for logistics, and Long Eye, who is responsible for intelligence.

"Astoria," Schelling said, "How is the preparation of supplies going? Are there any problems with funds and materials?"

Astoria showed a sweet smile and said: "Brother Xie Lin, there is no problem with funds - the business of Miracle Alchemy Workshop is very good, even though I have arranged a large number of people from Dragon Tail to help make anti-sickness bracelets, Charm bracelets and lucky bracelets, but the large number of orders from all over the world is still beyond our imagination——"

"In addition, Uncle Ali Bashir's international trading company in your name also has a steady flow of funds. For the sake of safety, I specially made an order at Gringotts for the Sleeping Dragon Society in the name of the Greengrass family. I opened a treasury and deposited all the money in the treasury——" Astoria said: "There is absolutely no problem with the funds."

Xie Lin nodded. Fortunately, she was the direct daughter of the Greengrass family. She was impeccable in everything she did. Storing two different sources of funds separately not only shared the risks, but also avoided the attention of interested people. If the scale of Sleeping Dragon Society is considered The intelligence network connected to Rita Skeeter is no longer small, and the daily flow of funds is very large, making it easy to attract suspicion.

This is not just for Dumbledore, Voldemort, Morgan and others, even the Ministry of Magic does not like ordinary people to form organizations with weapons and supplies. Even though the Order of the Phoenix had the highly respected Dumbledore as its leader, it had to face pressure from the Ministry of Magic and was forced to keep a low profile.

In fact, Xie Lin not only has two sources of funds: Miracle Alchemy Factory and Ali Bashir - he also has a gambling house and an armor shop under his name, and he also has four shops for rent in the southern area of ​​Diagon Alley. In terms of shares, he has partial shares in the Romanian Fire Dragon Breeding Farm, Puddlemere United, Ellerby and Badmore Broom Company, not to mention the copyright of a book and the patent income from the anti-sickness bracelet.

Except for the armor shop in Diagon Alley, which is still losing money at this stage, the others are all industries with high profits. The reason why all the funds from these personal properties were not transferred was not because Schelling did not trust Astoria, but precisely because the transfer of large amounts of funds could easily attract the attention of interested people.

"Very good, what about the materials for herbs, magical animals, etc.?"

"This..." Astoria said softly: "Melinda's chain pharmacy has helped a lot. Most of the materials we need to refine the potion are not a problem, but there are still many that are affected by magic from various countries. Materials controlled by the Ministry are not readily available…”

Xie Lin nodded to express his understanding. The Ministry of Magic in various countries will control the materials for refining some special potions. In the past, the Sleeping Dragon Society was not large in scale. It only needed to rely on the network of several major pure-blood families that were allied with it. Gray channels obtain the materials they need, but the quantity will not be too large.

Now, not counting Rita's intelligence network, the Sleeping Dragon Society has 81 members in Hogwarts alone. The amount of materials consumed every month is quite staggering. It is no longer enough to rely solely on gray channels to collect materials. To continue to meet your needs, you must find another way to solve this problem.

"Leave this problem to me, and I will be able to give you a plan soon -" Xie Lin said in a deep voice: "However, Mianlong Society's material reserves must not be slowed down because of this - I need you to start refining Explosive potions, blue flame potions, freezing potions, swamp potions that need to be used in battle, and each type of medical potion should be reserved for everyone to use for one year - the types of medical potions can refer to Hogwarts Medical room’s storage warehouse.”

"If the materials are really not enough, before I find the solution, I will go to Professor Snape to borrow them for the time being-" Xie Lin saw the fear on the faces of several young wizards when they heard Snape's name, and he smiled slightly. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Professor Snape is our ally. He already knows about the Sleeping Dragon Society and will help you and cover it up for you. You can trust me on this."

"Okay, Brother Xie Lin," Astoria said, "Just leave it to us!"

Xie Lin nodded. Although Astoria is a little younger, she has assigned four deputy team leaders as assistants. These four deputy team leaders are all young wizards with family backgrounds. With mutual cooperation, they should be able to Not a big problem.

As for the once-and-for-all solution proposed by Schelling, he already had an idea in mind. With the Triwizard Tournament coming to an end, there is no need to keep the fact that Barty Crouch Sr. is still alive.

After Old Barty settles the matter in the Hebridean Black Dragon Breeding Area, Schelling plans to let him come back to the Ministry of Magic and take back his position in the Department of International Cooperation. Then he only needs to get an A for Ali Bashir. With the first-level controlled goods trade permit, Ali can collect potion materials for himself unimpeded.

Old Barty has only been missing for two months. Even if Fudge has made some arrangements, it should not be difficult to regain the position of Director of the International Cooperation Department. Moreover, the current Ministry of Magic is not the same as the situation in the original world.

The Law Enforcement Department, which has the most power and the largest number of people in the Ministry of Magic, is almost all made up of Schelling's own people. The director is Aunt Amelia, the head of the Auror Office is Scrimgeour, the captain of the Law Enforcement Reconnaissance Team is Arnold Peasegood's father, and the director of the Abuse of Magic Office is Madam Vankanda...

The second largest department in the Ministry of Magic is the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, which also has many of Schelling's people. For example, the directors of the three most powerful branches under the director are two of Schelling's people, namely Bertie Higgs, the director of the Alien Creatures Department, and Axos II Osbert, the director of the Beast Department.

As long as these people put pressure on Fudge together, it is expected that Fudge will not turn against him for the position of Director of the International Cooperation Department.

After all, what Fudge feared most now was that Dumbledore would seize power from him in the name of Voldemort's resurrection. Although Amelia, Scrimgeour, and Old Barty were all his political enemies, Fudge definitely didn't want to see them turn to Dumbledore if they were pushed too far.

In contrast, losing a department's power was not unacceptable to Fudge.

The matter of Dragon's Tail had a clue.

Then, Schelling turned his gaze to Susan and said, "How is the progress of Dragon's Eye's intelligence network?"
