Chapter 688 Umbrella American Branch
On the edge of the Black Lake, Hermione, surrounded by Allen, couldn't help but worry in her heart after the role change. Allen's doing so would cause him a lot of opposition, no matter if it was those conservative pure-blood families , or the more conservative International Federation of Wizards, including Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix, even after this matter is told, it will attract hostility for Allen in the minds of ordinary wizards.
Hermione thought secretly for a while and said her worries to Allen: "Allen, but if you express your resolve, you will be hostile to many people before your purpose is understood by them... No, you should It is said that people around you and those close to you may suffer from their hostility. I am not afraid of this, but I am afraid that those wizards will not be able to resist us directly, and they are behind the scenes..."
Hermione was not worried about her own safety, but worried about how Alan would react if a certain member of the Harris family was secretly retaliated by those who were forced to jump over the wall. She didn't dare to think about it. of.
Alan understood Hermione's thoughts, and he put his other hand on the other's hand that was clasping his, gently stroked the back of her hand and said, "Of course I have considered your safety. Knowing that doing so will bring danger to them, I used the Viking berserkers who invaded England and burned, killed and looted the Anglo-Saxons in ancient times, and used necromantic magic to make a batch of fairly high-quality The death knights have been stored. The characteristics of undead creatures, excellent personal martial arts and the fact that they can be equipped with any weapons and equipment we give them make them very good personal bodyguards, they can protect the safety of their masters at any time, and they are very reliable. Just right , I will take you to have a look, and take them back by the way..."
Allen stretched out his arm and let Hermione take it, and then their figures disappeared from the shore of the Black Lake, and went to the cave deep in the Black Lake of Hogwarts. Hermione looked at the scene outside the water curtain on the wall in surprise, only to realize that this is the Black Lake. She looked at the cave curiously. The texture drawn on the wall with devil's blood seemed to be naturally formed. She felt that this texture was still strange. It is quite artistic and can attract people's eyes to linger.
Allen led Hermione into the original tributary cave, but unexpectedly found that the soil here was covered with a thick layer of bones. He blocked Hermione behind him, and the magic power rolled with his backhand, and the soil splashed everywhere. The expected death knights neatly arranged in the pit were replaced by rows of wooden coffins carved with black and colored magic runes. Although these runes have been infected by time, they still emit a faint black light, and the formation that Allen arranged to absorb negative energy is still in operation.
Allen opened the coffin, and the eyes of the death knight inside opened suddenly, jumped out of the coffin, and bowed to Allen, looking at their intact skin without any signs of festering, the flexibility of their limbs, and the speed of response to the master's orders , Allen nodded with satisfaction.
Allen knew in his heart that this must have been done by Ravenclaw for him. After all, he had left a message for Ravenclaw at the beginning. Ravenclaw obviously had more time for these things and was more careful. She Putting these death knights in coffins carved with runes can make them more intact. In fact, after thousands of years, these death knights who have almost no consumption in the coffin and are passively absorbing negative energy are actually better than Alan. Stronger when put down - although this does not allow them to learn additional skills.
The sound of bang bang was endless, the lids of the coffins were overturned, and the death knights inside jumped out of the coffins one after another, neatly lined up and bowed to Alan, Alan looked at them with satisfaction, but they are now The rough costumes he wore at the beginning were too simple, they were just some ordinary weapons and armors that did not have magic power, and they had been decayed in the lack of maintenance for nearly a thousand years. It's over, time to get them an outfit made for the undead over the summer.
Looking at the sinewy flesh of these death knights under the tattered armor, Allen remembered the battle golem that he wanted to get on a whim a few years ago. The weapons and armor designs developed by the battle golem may be slightly modified and reduced in size, which may be used on the death knight.
Speaking of service-type golems, the existing golems in the wizarding world market are old models decades ago. They have very simple functions, can only do a few single commands, and cannot communicate with their masters. Alan I heard that the Magic Society still used it in the 1920s, but unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to it when I went to the duel with Ian Knox with Professor Flitwick last time. I don’t know if the Magic Society still uses it. Thinking of this, Alan, who felt that he had hardly asked about the plan after he had arranged it, was a little embarrassed. He asked Hermione: "Hermione, how is the research progress of the Golem Workshop on service golems?"
Hermione was looking at these death knights, and she couldn't stop talking about their physical strength. Miss Know-It-All, who had already started to learn black magic and necromancy, didn't have much resistance to this, and she focused on guessing. The state of the death knights and the function of exploring the magic lines on their bodies are up. Hearing what Allen said, she retracted her gaze, collected her thoughts and said, "It's not bad, because you provided some core knowledge before, we will use the previous The golem has been combined, and it is estimated that it will be put into production in the middle of the summer vacation, and the design of the decoration part is already being done, and it looks like a giant squid..."
"Give some to Argus Filch at that time, it is really difficult for him to take care of such a big academy without magic... If the matter of breaking the "International Statute of Secrecy" can go smoothly like this , that would be great. By the way, Hermione, do you have any good suggestions for advancing this matter?" Hermione's ability to arrange the Harris family's huge property properly and everything to go smoothly Doubtful, Allen strikes while the iron is hot, trying to get Hermione involved by asking Hermione to give her an idea, so that she can subtly influence her unconsciously.
Hermione didn't answer Alan immediately, she put a wristband on her cheek and ground her teeth unconsciously with the other hand. She pondered for a moment before answering: "Alan, now the Harris family's power in the Ministry of Magic is unquestionable, which helps protect the umbrella. The company's various industries can run smoothly. Now that the two parties have started to cooperate, coupled with the influence of public opinion from the TV station, our influence in the British wizarding world should be unmatched.
The sense of deterrence that our Harris family brought to others after the British Ministry of Magic’s action is different. From the perspective of outsiders, the umbrella mainly covers medical technology, potions, raising and researching magical animals, and some industries that provide personal military equipment. Because we have a lot of potion technology that other companies do not have, and in the tower we grow those magic herbs that are almost extinct in the outside world, our quality in potion and medical industries is better than others, and we sell a lot of them. There are scarce types of potions, and the prices of common medicines are set lower than the market price, so many jobs are provided. We, who allow many poor wizards to use many expensive potions in the past, have a pivotal position in politics and economy and maintain a rich and good social image.
Coupled with the umbrella force formed by the highly trained wizards of the Umbrella Company hidden in the name of the Security Guard, plus the armed Aurors under Albert, we are ahead of others in politics, force, and economy in the UK. There should be no obvious opponents anymore—as long as we don't make public our goal of breaking the "International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act" and arouse the hostility of other wizards...
If we want to break the "International Federation of Wizards Secrecy Act", then we can't focus all our eyes on the British, we can make the umbrella company and the TV station become globalized under our operation through Daisy's management of the International Magical Cooperation Department. Let the wizarding societies all over the world have employees of our company, let the local wizards receive our favor, let the TV station be set up all over the world before it is popularized, take the lead in making our name famous, and let us think about it The TV programs shown to them are broadcast in the local language...
A few weeks ago, a subordinate who was originally from the United States and whose name seemed to be Ashford gave me a plan to establish a sub-base in the suburbs of Raccoon City. I focused on the monopoly of the British mainland and the plan for Voldemort, which was rejected by me. Now that we're going to break it, I think we can use it to test the waters of Raccoon City's subbase. "
"You can make up your mind, I'll listen to you..." Alan looked at the eloquent Hermione with satisfaction. He originally just wanted the other party to participate in this matter so that the other party would not misunderstand and reject him , but I didn't expect that once she entered the role, Miss Know-it-all's little brain would unconsciously show her talents in these management and logical matters.
Realizing that she was immersed in the plan again and seemed to be anti-client, Hermione was a little shy by Allen's praise. She changed the subject, "How do you get these death knights out? There are all of them on the Black Lake."
"Don't worry, Hermione, I will teach you some necromancy in the next semester, of course, the main spell is to summon undead creatures as guards, which will allow them to better protect themselves or have time to escape in battle ...But forget it today... Knights, carry your own coffins." Not wanting to waste, Allen ordered the knights to carry the coffins that have the function of absorbing negative energy on their bodies.
After cleaning up the area, as Allen waved his staff, the ground shook, and the two flames burning fiercely formed a huge ring. Countless skulls that seemed to be screaming silently were exhausted after the flames burned out. , forming a tall arch.
"The Gate of Another World." Hermione murmured, it was the first time she saw this magic at such a close distance. When the Goblet of Fire fought with the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, she was either too far away, or she was protecting herself with fire. The blue flames he made were busy fighting the Death Eaters.
"Let's go, let's put them in the base under the umbrella mansion first. These death knights need to undergo a period of adaptation training if they want to live in this era. They need to learn modern English and some common sense knowledge to be qualified for guard work. You I know... the gods of these Vikings make them like to use weapons to do business with you..." Allen shrugged and stretched out his arms towards the arch. Arms, they walked into the arch first, and the death knights carrying their own coffins followed behind them like porters.
