Chapter 440 Remuneration (Modified)
It was late at night when we returned to the Ravenclaw tower of the Harris family, and Allen thoughtfully made black tea for Penello to drive out the cold.
"Penelo, I will teach you how to make enslaved gems in a moment, and the eight-eyed spider inlaid with enslaved gems can be well controlled. This is also a cursed item, and it cannot be forced unless the curse is lifted. Take it off." Allen picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Penello.
Penello took the teacup, hooked the handle of the cup with her little finger and let go, took a sip and placed it on the table.
Allen sensitively sensed that something was wrong with Penello's mood, and he observed Penello's expression without any trace.
Penello seemed anxious about why, but it was inconvenient to tell himself.
"Penello, do you need my help? Are you feeling unwell? Drinking more hot water may make you feel better." Allen's eyes slid unconsciously to Penello's lower abdomen.
As smart as Penello, she immediately understood the meaning of Allen's words, and two blushes rose on her face.
"No, it's okay to raise spiders, but I'm worried that I can't afford the raw materials to make so many enslaved gems." Penello quickly explained, "I got some scholarships in Hogwarts and training classes before. ;After graduation, I also received some rewards through various mutual aid and activities in the Freemasonry Society; in the family, I gained more knowledge and training rather than money. My source of income is only my salary as an Auror and Freemasonry I don't have the funds to make that many enslaved gems. While acromander venom sells for 100 galleons per pint, we don't control the Ministry of Magic yet, so I can't sell them indefinitely Venom, this will attract the attention of others, after all, it is illegal to just possess the eggs of an acromantula."
Penello felt a little embarrassed, because she always wanted to share the burden for Alan and didn't want to cause him trouble. Although the burden of raising spiders is not small, she can still bear it, but the number of spiders is too large and the speed of reproduction is very fast. The gems needed to enslave gems as raw materials make the number of gold Galleons a bottomless pit , she really can't afford it.
Allen saw that Penello's worries were real, and also saw her shame. Allen couldn't help but blame himself. He recently focused on experiments and reading books, and neglected to pay attention to these close people around him. Only Penello, other members may also have a shortage of funds.
In the future, it is necessary to hire a financial manager, and the core members who engrave the mark also need a fixed salary subsidy. Absorbing knowledge alone is not enough to fill the stomach, and Penello, Hermione, and Luna are their darlings, and even more so. There is no reason for them to be wronged in this regard.
Penelope will raise so many spiders for the family in the future, and it is obvious that just letting Maggie transport those leftovers from the farm cannot completely replace the eight-eyed spiders' own hunting in the Forbidden Forest, so special funds should be allocated.
Allen hugged Penello apologetically, and then told her his inner plan to reassure Penello.
Penello didn't tell Alan about many troubles before, and she took it all on her own. She didn't want Alan to worry about these mundane things, but it was beyond her ability to get so many gems The scope of ability, if Alan didn't see her anxiety, she would have thought about committing crimes and robbing several pure-blood families. But now Penello's mood became very happy because she felt loved and loved. Seeing Alan's remorseful expression, she couldn't help but hugged Alan back.
"Penello, besides domesticating the giant arachnid, the most important task you have to do is to learn the two spells of Oath of Otherworld and Gate of Otherworld. It is best to use the prison circle in the prison room as a way to summon the devil in the tower. Extra insurance from time to time to prevent the devil from losing control when the will fights against you. In addition, you have to learn about the types of devils, and then I will ask Albert to arrange you to be the instructor who teaches Aurors to summon hellhounds with otherworldly oaths. You recently The reputation of the company is not very good, and it is not easy to reverse it in a short time.
But at the very least it will get you back into a lot of Auror approval. "
Allen stretched out his index finger and put it on Penello's lips, preventing Penello from asking.
"Don't worry about Penelope, the premise of using the oath to summon the devil is that you must learn the information and knowledge of the specific type of devil you want to summon. As long as you don't reveal the most precious part, they will learn to summon hell at best. It’s just a dog. If they want to summon other types, they can only use the wizards’ own traditional methods—using a lot of sacrifices and time to summon a devil that is basically uncontrollable and can only reach an agreement with each other.”
Putting down his fingers on Penello's lips, Allen took a sip of hot tea: "The demons summoned by the two spells of Oath of Otherworld and Gate of Otherworld are real. And Oolong The projection of the monsters summoned by this kind of magic is different. As long as the caster does not cancel the summoning, they are not expelled back to their world by the enemy with a spell that specifically expels demons, and as long as they are not killed, they can always exist in the world. our world.
Excellent tracking and rounding up capabilities make them very suitable as military dogs for Aurors. It is a good choice to let them explore some dangerous areas, track and assist Aurors to catch dangerous criminals.
The most important thing is that the official departments of our wizarding world have begun to use the summoned devils to assist law enforcement. After the public adapts, after the public opinion turns, it will not be long before our Harris family can also use it blatantly in front of the public.
During the competition, I believe that many smart people realized that those treasures were not the real deal between me and the devil. Before teaching the Aurors this spell, we clearly stated that this spell was a generous gift from the Harris family, and helped them prove it. My own opinion. But what can they do? Today, the Harris family is no longer afraid of other people's prying eyes. This is like a military exercise by Muggles. We can show some of our strength as a deterrent.
Penelope, the final battle is about to begin. Dumbledore's attention has been drawn too much by Voldemort and my so-called blackening. He thought that as long as Crouch fell, we would be satisfied. And Fudge doesn't know anything, until now he thinks that we are just looking for Crouch's troubles with our actions that are not legal and compliant with Crouch's forces. After the next match, Fudge would find out that this time Crouch couldn't protect anyone in his power. In fact, Crouch couldn't even protect himself. "
Allen patiently told Penelope his thoughts. Penelope's eyes were shining. Allen showed his dark side in front of him without any scruples. Luo was very drunk, especially thinking that Alan would definitely not show this side in front of Hermione and the others, which made her feel happier.
Similarly, the next morning after dawn, when Alan brought a large bag of Galleons to Luna, before explaining the reason, he was reading to Alan about the new story of the big mouth color ball fish in "The Quibbler". Luna of the recipe took the Galleon and put it in her pocket. It was as natural as a husband handing over the salary he had just received to his wife. It was nothing more than a normal thing.
The opposite of Luna's reaction was Hermione.
When Allen found her in a corner of the library and handed Hermione the bag full of Galleons, her first reaction was to refuse.
