Chapter 1579 A War Without a Winner (Twenty-nine)

I can only say that this is normal.

People are like this. There is no point in dwelling on these things.

Sannah suddenly mentioned this because she wanted to find someone to complain about her "work".

Albert was a good listener. After Shannah finished complaining, he brought the topic back to the topic, "Are there any other things that deserve special attention?"

"Other people seem to have heard about this and hope to settle here." Shannah took out a notebook from her traceless stretch bag, turned to a certain page and handed it to Albert, which contained a list.

"Arrange an apartment for them. Anyway, they didn't come to help build the village." Albert had guessed this would happen, and he was not too surprised.

"I'll talk to Joseph about this later and ask him to add a few more apartments." Shannah also guessed that Albert would do that. She had expected it when he said he wanted to build apartments.

After all, a direct refusal would have a bad impact. After all, they all contributed to defeating the mysterious man.

As for different treatments, isn't that normal?

"How is the Ministry of Magic?"

Albert has been paying attention to the changes in the British magic world.

"Many foreign dark wizards have fled the UK." Shanna quickly recalled the recent news in the newspaper: "However, those are all news from the Daily Prophet. You know, the accuracy of the Daily Prophet is not high. It is more like the Ministry of Magic is trying to appease people. On the contrary, Percy Weasley has often asked me about you recently. The Minister seems to have something to ask you, but they didn't tell me too much. They just left a message saying that they would notify them after you come back."

"It seems that something happened."

In Albert's opinion, it would be surprising if nothing happened to the Ministry of Magic.

"Although I haven't contacted Mr. Percy yet, I guess he is probably on the way." Shanna suddenly said, "I suspect Joseph Cloix is ​​also the spy of the Minister, although he may not have much malice."

"Don't doubt it, Percy is here."

Albert suddenly looked up in a certain direction, where a familiar figure was trotting towards this side.

"It is as expected."

"After all, he is the one Kingsley asked for help, and he can be useful when Cedric is not around." Albert asked with a smile, "What do you think Percy's first sentence will be?"

"You are finally back." Sana said without hesitation, "I guess the Minister is anxious to find you, probably because he wants you to help with something."

"Something happened!"

Percy stopped in front of Albert and said breathlessly, "A Death Eater threatened the Ministry of Magic, saying that he would release all the Inferi and let those dark creatures attack Muggles indiscriminately."

"Oh, it seems that the Ministry of Magic is desperate!" Albert nodded to show that he understood.

"Can't you give more reaction?" Percy was very depressed: "The Minister hopes that he can get from you..."

"I'm not a wishing machine." Albert interrupted directly, "Didn't he expect this?"

"Although the Ministry of Magic has been prepared, the new Aurors have not completed their training yet. Now they need someone to help them, so as not to deteriorate the situation."

"Since they signed up to become an Auror, they must have been mentally prepared, and they will have to face the enemy sooner or later. It's not okay to stay in the ivory tower." Albert guessed Kingsley's plan. The other party wanted to get something for free!

Sure enough, after he became the Minister of Magic, his way of thinking changed quickly.

However, he wanted to secretly use moral kidnapping to push himself to help solve the problem, but he couldn't hide it from Albert's eyes.

If it was before defeating the mysterious man, Albert would naturally not be stingy to help, but now forget it.

If this kind of thing sets a precedent, otherwise the trouble will continue, because humans are such creatures, greedy and don't know how to be satisfied.

"Mr. Minister hopes you can go over and help watch over it to avoid too many accidents." Percy was a little embarrassed and lowered his voice. Fortunately, he had made a lot of backup plans before coming here, and he had some friendship with Albert, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

"Okay, as long as the Ministry of Magic is willing to pay an extra salary, after all, I am not an Auror, and the senior consultant is just to help give some ideas, but not enough for me to roll up my sleeves and do it myself."

Albert's words were not euphemistic at all, and he never intended to be euphemistic. "Of course, if the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to pay this money, it can be regarded as a personal favor owed to me."

Favors are something that must be repaid, and it depends on who the favor is owed to.

Percy had expected this, but still said, "I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Looking at Percy who hurried away, Sana asked in confusion, "Why did you say that?"

"I'm just reminding Kingsley." Albert looked in a certain direction and muttered to himself as if explaining to others, "Of course not in the past, but Kingsley is a politician now. Any politician is worthy of vigilance. When dealing with them, it is enough to talk about interests."

"What a brilliant answer."

Joseph, who was leading Percy, suddenly appeared in their sight and shrugged at Albert, saying, "But you're right. Politicians are indeed worthy of vigilance."

"You guy..."

Sannah looked at Joseph Croix with a scrutinizing look. She suspected that this guy was also from the Ministry of Magic, and might even be an Auror.

"Don't look at me like that." The middle-aged wizard explained, "Kingsley helped me a little some time ago, so I agreed to come here to help him."

"This should be considered a pretty good job," Albert suddenly said.

"Yes, the only drawback is that the salary is too low." Joseph couldn't help but complain, "Helping to rebuild Hogsmeade Village can earn more than coming here."

"The Ministry of Magic plans to rebuild Hogsmeade Village?"

Sannah was very surprised. She had been to the ruins of Hogsmeade, which was even more miserable than this place. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as razed to the ground.

"Yes, that village has its value, and..."

"Can you please stop standing here and chatting? Come and help if you have time." A guy who just passed by couldn't help but complain to the three people who were chatting together.

"Ahem, I'll be there soon." Joseph smiled and walked away.

"The Ministry of Magic wants to use your power to solve the problem of the Inferi once and for all?" After the troublemaker left, Shanna asked in a low voice.

"They probably have this idea. Instead of letting an unknown number of Inferi become a time bomb, it is better to find a suitable opportunity to detonate it."

Anyway, if it were Albert himself, he would definitely try to do that.

Unfortunately, Albert was not interested in becoming a worker. At least in his opinion, the Ministry of Magic was unwilling to pay a suitable price.
