Chapter 379 377. Trading
During the conversation, neither the Malfoys nor Jon himself put down the hoods on their heads.
In today's Britain, their faces are basically known by the public. As long as people find out what happened in the Pig's Head Bar today, it will definitely be on the headlines of the newspaper the next day.
It was precisely because of this that although Lucius could meet Jon's eyes, he couldn't accurately detect the change of expression on his face.
Jon actually didn't think Malfoy would know more about this ring, because when Slughorn handed the ring to him, he clearly said that anyone who knew the true value of this ring There are only two people in the wizarding world.
One is the dead Adrian Fox, the other is Slughorn himself, and Jon is the third person after that.
This is why Slughorn, when teaching him the secret of the ring, made sure he learned Occlumency first.
At a time when there is nothing universally available about the magic of the ring that every wizard in the wizarding world can learn, the less people know about it, the better.
"Just knowing the source of the ring I'm carrying is not a condition to impress people, Mr. Malfoy." Jon said lightly.
Facing Jon's reaction, Malfoy remained calm.
"But you still have to take it into the Forbidden Forest when you are doing the first competition event. It is very precious to you, right?"
Jon didn't deny this, and there was no need to deny it.
"It's just something left to me by an elder, of course I will always carry it with me."
"I have investigated your past and know that whether it is your mother's family or your father's family, you can't find any shadow of a wizard for three generations. This means that before you were recruited into the school by Dumbledore, you and Magic has nothing to do with it. Therefore, there is basically no possibility of this ring being passed down in the family, but since it can appear in your hand, it means that you know Fox, the little-known wizard. So I think, you must You will also be very interested in Fox, right?"
Interested in the person Adrian Fox?
Jon is of course interested, not to mention that he created the ring in his hand, and he has no clue about the whereabouts of the remaining two gems on the ring.
And if there is information about Adrian himself, Jon will definitely have a lot of ideas, but only if the things in Lucius' hands must be valuable.
Jon didn't lose his temper and asked Lucius what he knew. Instead, he relaxed and leaned on the back of the chair that kept making "squeaking" sounds, making people doubt that it could last for a few days. Then he picked up the whiskey that Lucius had no interest in after ordering, and took a sip.
"I thought that Mr. Malfoy, who has always been known for his sinister and cunning, would not be unable to figure out such a simple matter. You and Mr. Fox only met once at a banquet, and I have the Things, then everyone should be able to see how close we are to him, right?"
Draco carefully looked up at Jon, who was drinking underage, with weird eyes as if he didn't understand why he could bear the grease on the cup and drank it.
Actually, Jon didn’t want to say anything. He always disliked Aberforth’s personal hygiene, but when negotiating, he had to drink something to stabilize his aura and control the rhythm of the topic in his own hands.
He didn't mind keeping Draco safe in the next game, as long as he didn't provoke him, he didn't mean to hurt this stinky young master.
The key is that since Lucius wants him to make a promise, how can the Malfoy family show sincerity?
"You secretly hid the table knife he used as something that once belonged to him. I must know what it is, right?"
Hearing Jon's words, Malfoy was silent for a moment, he seemed to be weighing, and soon he finished thinking.
"A key, a spelled key that will unlock the door of Adrian Fox's house."
Jon suddenly sneered.
"I don't think the way you got this key is very honorable."
"No, it's legal and compliant." Lucius said calmly, "At that time, he was suspected of making and collecting magical contraband without permission. As the director of the Auror Command Office, I have the power to issue a search warrant for his The residence was searched, and that night, he fled the UK overnight."
"So you've already searched, what use is that house that can be opened with a key to me?"
"You don't need to use this method to cover up your appeal. Since I dare to use this as a bargaining chip, it has been confirmed that you must care about Fox. If you really have a close relationship with him, then A house that we have searched and found nothing may not be found nothing for you."
Lucius stared at Jon, as if he wanted to see his face completely through the shadow.
"I am Mr. Green who came here with sincerity. My request is also very simple. As long as you can ensure the safety of my son, I will be honest with you about this, so I hope you can also be more straightforward."
Jon was thinking, tapping the old wooden table with his fingers, and soon he gave his answer.
"How can you make me trust you?"
Hearing what he said, Lucius heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that Jon had agreed.
"I will draw up a contract, you can take it back and let Dumbledore attach a spell to it, we will sign it together, as long as Draco is intact after this game, then I will share what I know with the key Give you all."
"Yes, but this is not enough. I need to add another condition."
"What condition?"
"I'm also very interested in the house elf Dobby you sent to pass the message, and I'll count him in."
Jon was indeed very interested in the matter of Adrian, but he also saw that Lucius actually wanted the White Wolf empty-handed. The key was useless to him, and now he used it to make a deal with Jon It is purely waste utilization, and there is no loss to him at all, and how can Jon let him do what he wants.
A house-elf in exchange for the safety of his own son, this is also an acceptable deal, isn't it?
".good."
After confirming that the transaction could be concluded, Lucius reorganized his tone and started the next equally important transaction attempt with a tentative tone.
"One more thing, do you need someone who can provide you with information in the Ministry of Magic?"
If you are not clear-headed at night, send 2,000 first, and then write during the day, at least 10,000 today
