Chapter 377 Independence
If dry firewood burns too fiercely, the fuel will be consumed quickly. On the car heading to Hogwarts, there was no Diana, only Zhao Mai, Tolkien, Xiao Hua, Reserve Liang, Ado and Duojian, which made the atmosphere a bit weird. Tolkien looked at the obviously empty carriage and naturally felt the same way.
"Won't Diana follow you to Hogwarts? Aren't you very passionate before? Even if you don't count the relationship between you two, she still has to investigate the plague, and following you is the best choice. Mike , did you have a quarrel?"
"No, it's not that complicated. She just has her own ideas and goals, and she can achieve them better with the help of Steve's official channels." Zhao Mai saw Tolkien's worried eyes in the rearview mirror and knew that his This friend really cared about him, so he comforted him and said: "She is not Duojian, and it is impossible to tie her with a chain, right? Don't talk about me, isn't Edith staying in Oxford too?"
"Edith had previously agreed to teach in the primary school over there next semester, and she will be busy during the summer vacation. This is different from Diana." Tolkien thought for a while and expressed his concerns: "After all, Edith and I are married. You and Diana have only known each other for a short time. If we don't see each other often, won't there be problems?"
What happened to Mike and Diana can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. There are dogs who support, there are people who watch and bless, there are flowers who object fiercely, and there are people who are hurt because of it. Major Steve Trevor's enthusiasm for work exploded several times, and he actually established contact with the American wizarding community, and then successfully connected with the British and French ministries of magic. In this way, he had the most convenient platform to investigate the plague. After weighing the pros and cons, Diana chose to continue following the plague events with Trevor.
"She said that life is life and work is work. She can distinguish clearly. After all, she is the princess of the Amazon and the ambassador of Paradise Island. She represents the face of the gods. The first priority is her mission. The Amazons are a fighting nation, Dai Anna is a leader among warriors, so she naturally puts top priority on how to complete the mission better." Zhao Mai said to Tolkien: "Don't worry, there is no problem between the two of us, I can contact her through magic at any time. We are temporarily separated now just because she is a very independent and self-reliant woman, nothing more."
"Female warrior... Well, just like my dear Edith, women should be the embodiment of love and beauty, and war should let women go away. Although Diana is a demigod, it is considered a special case, but you did not persuade Diana Is it? I have seen through it all. The official performance this time is so poor that it will be difficult to be of any help. If nothing else, just talk about the British Ministry of Magic and the Army Command. They have caused more trouble than they have provided!" Tolkien She was still bitter about being almost classified as a traitor and spy, and because she was criticizing her own family, her sarcasm was inevitably more harsh: "Don't Diana understand, if this is really the work of a wizard?" Yes, the Ministry of Magic will definitely choose to cover it up. What she needs is not official support at all, but discerning eyes and trustworthy helpers. At this point, you are definitely much better than that person."
"Tolkien, I don't need to compare with Steve. I still have this confidence. But there is a possibility that you may not have thought of." Zhao Mai said while driving: "Diana is not the only one who is worried about this time." People who are immune to the plague, the Amazons of Paradise Island, will not be affected by the plague, not to mention the gods who never show their faces. I came up with a prescription to save people, and others should be able to do it, and maybe it is better than my method. , and is not restricted by potion ingredients. If she follows me, her field of vision will be narrowed, which is unacceptable for her mission. After all, she did not come to the mortal world to be someone's girlfriend. Or a follower. Have you forgotten what her mission is? "
Tolkien nodded, he already understood what Zhao Mai meant. Diana left the paradise island and came to the world with the blessings of the gods and the mission of the gods: she wanted to be the ambassador of that world, understand the world, and then exert influence.
The simple truth is that the influence of the US government, the British government, the French government, the Allied military and the magical world are countless times more important to her than Zhao Mai alone, as are her vision and channels. "She is not the kind of woman who will take risks with men. She has her own career to do." Zhao Mai said to Tolkien: "Similarly, I also have my own affairs. Let's start with passing this exam."
Tolkien's frown deepened. He took out the pipe from his arms and held it in his mouth, looking at Zhao Mai's back. He always thought that Mike was a very capable person, and his magical power was no less than that of any wizard, but why did he still need to take a school exam? Let’s not talk about Diana’s status as a demigod, but her own charm and abilities are beyond Tolkien’s knowledge. Mike and her have developed their relationship to a point. If he pays more attention and spends time with Diana, wouldn't it be possible?
But he still chose to return to Hogwarts. Why? Tolkien didn't believe that people had no motives, nor did he believe that Zhao Mai didn't have to weigh and think. He looked at Zhao Mai's back and suddenly felt that this man was a bit scary.
Li Liang suddenly straightened his upper body, turned his head to look at Tolkien, tilted his head and said "Huh?" Tolkien scratched his hair with his pipe, smiled at the puppy, stopped thinking about this problem, and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
It turns out the Ministry of Magic's border blockade is a joke. "THE·CHE" crossed the "border" directly from the underground and rushed to Hogwarts. Of course, Zhao Mai also confirmed that the wizarding world is a world nested in the earth, so there is no need to pay for travel. When their car parked at the entrance of Hogwarts, the first-year students were taking flying lessons. Two students saw the car and waved to them in mid-air. This dangerous move almost caused them to fall.
His room was still the same as when he left it, and Dojian started working as a maid as soon as he arrived. With a gun on her back and a feather duster in her hand, she began to dust the furniture and accessories. Tolkien looked very tired, dragged the box and said goodbye to Zhao Mai, and discussed going to Professor Dumbledore at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then went back to his room.
Li Li ran a few steps and jumped onto the big bed, rolled around on the quilt a few times, and relaxed on his back. Zhao Mai snorted twice and threw his coat directly on him. Then he took out his wand and chanted the spell. So he lined up all the things he bought from the "little package" and walked in, standing in the corresponding places in the room.
A full set of alchemy, a full set of potions, and a full set of scroll making tools. Zhao Mai is gearing up and preparing to have a big fight at Hogwarts. Originally, he wanted to drag Tolkien with him, but after buying all the things and going back, he encountered a wizard attack, which made Zhao Mai understand that what he was about to do might completely destroy Tolkien's happy life, unless he Only when Zhao Mai can spontaneously come up with the same ideas as him and have the same goals and ideals will he try to "partner" with him again.
The Spanish Flu may not have been created by wizards, but current evidence suggests that turning it into a pandemic that swept the world within two months was driven by wizards. Although he had handed over the targeted potion formula, due to the lack of materials - the United Kingdom, France and the United States actually said that they were out of stock, and there were very few wizards willing to help make the medicine - so only a very small amount of the potion was used. Manufacturing them is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of patients.
He no longer believed that the wizarding world could get better. This time the plague, the next global memory erasure, Zhao Mai does not think that those representatives of the Transcendents who went back to 1995 and were busy controlling the Ministry of Magic can reverse the trend of the wizarding world. If you manage to survive until 2016, only to find that global brainwashing is happening again, that would be the greatest irony!
Originally, I only planned to cultivate myself, live well, travel to a few more worlds, and live until the next century. Now it seems that this goal is a bit too easy. With the ancient curse language as a stepping stone, Zhao Mai has the possibility to study and crack the curse. Learn from the foreigners and develop skills to defeat the foreigners. This saying has been true since ancient times.
Charms, potions, monster creation and black magic defense will be Zhao Mai's main focus, which will help him come up with ways to defend against global memory erasure. Since there is actually no spatial separation between the wizarding world and the earth, the magical animals and plants in the wizarding world are actually the native creatures of the earth, and there is no essential difference between the two. Now that the wizarding world controls the production of potion-related materials, it must find a way to solve it in the earth's environment.
And, of course, there are magical creatures. Zhao Mai is a druid, how could he forget them? After thoroughly studying the abilities of the wizarding world and making targeted arrangements, Zhao Mai believes that he will be able to completely correct the hidden dangers and threats in the wizarding world.
"The only problem is that we are running out of money, and we have less than seventy gold coins left. We still have gems and gold, but the wizard's gold coins are running out. The small parcel shop has a lot of stuff, but it's really not cheap. ." Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "If you want to avoid being exploited by the goblins of Gringotts, you can no longer take out mortgages or sell things. We have to find a way to make money!"
"Do you have any ideas?" Xiao Hua said, holding her cheek: "If you are worried, I can survive by just watering it and getting some sunshine."
"Don't worry about daily life problems. Everyone can have enough to eat and drink and have a good sleep." Zhao Mai smiled at Xiaohua: "I already have an idea, such as opening a magic store. I'll know when the exam is over. As a result, we started to implement it. But where can we purchase medicinal materials without restrictions?"
