Chapter 1162 Weaving a Web
“That guy went out again?”
When Katrina passed by the living room with a cup of black tea, she stopped and looked at Isobel who was flipping through the baby care guide.
“It seems like something is wrong.”
Isobel changed the subject without raising her head: "Where is mother?"
“She seems to be obsessed with cooking recently, and is learning to cook simple food from the house elves in the kitchen?” Katrina was quite helpless about this, as their mother had no talent in this area at all. She leaned against the door frame, sipped her black tea, looked at the people in the living room, and asked, "Do you really not care about him?"
"It's useless. Besides, Albert knows how to protect himself better than anyone else." Isobel turned the pages of the book gently and spoke in a very calm tone. She had expected this to be the case since she returned to England. !
“I really don’t understand how you said this so calmly.”
Katrina walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite Isobel. She put down the teacup in her hand, picked up the apple and the knife, peeled an apple for Isobel, cut it neatly and placed it on the plate. Pushed in front of Isobel.
Isobel put the book upside down on the table, picked out a piece of apple, took a bite, and asked: "Otherwise, what else can we do? Albert has his own considerations, and even if I sell you, I can't convince you. he."
“I really don’t know what that guy is doing all day long!” Katrina curled her lips, picked up the black tea and returned to the study to continue compiling books.
In a desolate village, Albert suddenly sneezed, and the wand in his hand paused, almost causing the spell to fail.
“You have a cold?” Shanna asked.
“It’s okay, maybe someone is saying bad things about me behind my back!”
Albert stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, refocused his attention on the gradually forming stronghold, nodded with satisfaction and said, "The progress is faster than I expected."
“Actually, I have never understood why you like to go to such a remote place?” Lee Jordan looked around the completely deserted village and muttered, “There is nothing here.”
"You need to understand that if you want to truly hide yourself, the best way is not to use advanced magic, but to let others not know where you are, because no matter how advanced the protective magic is, it may be forced by others. Crack.”
“Like Malfoy Manor?”
"As long as this place is completed." Albert did not answer and continued: "I will use the Red Loyalty Curse to protect this place, and you don't need to worry about the group of dark wizards and Death Eaters wandering around."
“Well, what you said makes sense.” Fred couldn’t help but complain.
“When are you going to hold a party?” George put down his wand and took out the pastries prepared by the house elves from the picnic basket and distributed them to everyone: “Is it any time soon?”
"At least we have to wait until this place is completed." Albert took a sip of butterbeer, glanced at the looking glass next to him and said, "By the way, I plan to turn this place into a wizard village in the future, and you can move here."
“A wizarding village, similar to Hogsmeade?”
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked at Albert in surprise.
"Is this okay?" Shanna frowned and reminded, "Although this place has been abandoned, but if..."
"The land here has been abandoned for a long time. It would not cost many pounds to buy this land reasonably." Albert shrugged.
“You bought this village?”
Everyone was stunned by Albert's arrogant remarks.
“I plan to turn this place into an industrial park, responsible for the supply of raw materials and product processing for the store.” Albert briefly described his future plans, “But that is a matter for the future.”
“You have long-term plans!” Shanna was shocked by Albert’s plan, “Are you planning to move here in the future?”
"It depends on the situation, but it's probably possible," Albert shrugged and took another sip of butterbeer, "How many reasons did you find to join us."
“Seven, or eight, for now!” Fred counted with his fingers. “If you think Kenneth can be trusted, there are eight.”
"There is no need to rush this matter. Once this place is set up, I believe more people will be willing to join us." Albert seemed to have thought of something, and turned to ask Shanna: "How are the new teaching materials being organized?"
"It will take some time. Do you really plan to compile a new Defense Against the Dark Arts Guide?"
"After all, we will definitely have to fight against dark wizards in the future. Without any skills, we will easily lose our lives. I plan to re-edit it based on the Auror courses, so that at least the friends who are willing to join us will have the ability to use them when facing the enemy. Some ability to protect themselves." Albert finished his cup of butterbeer and said, "The Order of the Phoenix is very poor in this regard. Although their level is good, but... in short, if Moody is willing to give them more With training, the casualties among Order of the Phoenix members should be greatly reduced.”
“I hope this war will end soon!” Zannah muttered.
"Don't worry, the war will be over in a few years. You should believe Albert's prediction." George comforted him.
“What are you going to do if Harry Potter fails to eliminate the mysterious man and the situation gets completely out of control?” Shanna looked directly at Albert.
"Depending on the situation, if it is really irreversible, I will leave the UK directly, but I trust my own judgment more and believe that Harry will successfully defeat the mysterious man." Albert said confidently.
"What's up?"
“Our wizard cards are not selling very well and will probably become a loss-making business. Do you think we should continue?”
Speaking of this incident, Li Jordan felt a little depressed. He originally thought that the Wizarding Cards, which were popular in school, would sell well. However, the cruel facts woke him up hard. The sales volume of the Wizarding Cards made him realize that he was suffering from It was Albert who was welcomed, not the wizard card.
Without Albert’s Wizarding Card Club, I’m afraid the true situation will be exposed soon.
"Even if you don't make money, you can still use it as an accessory for shopping." Albert patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder and comforted, "You won't lose much money, and you are too anxious."
“Well, since you said so.”
Lee Jordan was relieved for some reason. He was a little worried that Albert would give up the wizard card directly.
"According to the current progress, it should be completed soon." Albert brought the topic back.
"The next tunnel to be excavated also needs to be reinforced. Although it is not impossible to use magic, it... always feels unreliable."
“Use cement.” Shanna looked at Albert, “We have to find a way to get a batch of cement.”
"Don't worry about this, I will find time to get a batch of cement." Albert had already thought of a way.
“What should I do about lighting?”
“Just use Gubler’s fairy fire, I will make that thing, and then just cast a spell on the ceiling like Hogwarts and leave a magic window to solve the problem.
“Gubrai Fairy Fire? It is said to be a very advanced magic.”
Zannah was not surprised that Albert could use such profound magic, but she was still a little surprised when she heard it with her own ears.
“The difficulty is really high.”
“Is the Patronus Charm more difficult than that?”
"They are different, whether it is the techniques used or other aspects, and the Gubulai Fairy Fire needs strong magic power to support it." Albert didn't want to discuss the production method of the Gubulai Fairy Fire with others, so he Changing the topic, he said, "In the next few days, I will buy some cement for you. After that, I will first clear the space inside, and then I will use the Traceless Stretching Charm to expand the space inside."
“If Stringer knew that you were abusing the Invisible Stretching Charm, he might not be able to help but give you a scary fine and hit you hard as a rich man.” Fred said with a smile.
"No, he will probably pretend not to see it." Albert shook his head and said, "Scrimgeour is becoming more and more like a politician."
"Don't worry about other things, let's talk about business first." George reluctantly interrupted the chat of several people and brought the topic back, "Can you help me get some mirrors or communication bookmarks recently? I'll be ready then. Distribute to Cedric and them for communication.”
“This is no problem, I’ll get it to you in two days.”
Albert has always wanted to set up a contact group similar to the QQ group. He already has some ideas and plans to use it this time and test the effect.
"By the way, the Order of the Phoenix has started to develop peripheral members according to your wishes, and the speed is amazing." Fred continued, "Lovegood is also a supporter of Harry. Last time we went there in person to When he talked about it he readily said yes.”
“Now Sirius and Lupine are working on a special anti-monster glasses, hoping to see the hidden content through them.”
“They hope you can help with the research.” George explained, “That way we can get results faster.”
"That's no problem, but I've been very busy recently and may not be able to spare the time." Albert agreed simply. This was actually his idea, but because he was too busy, he left it to Sirius and Lupin. Researched.
"If it succeeds, I dare say there will probably be a lot of weirdos wearing anti-monster glasses to watch "The Quibbler."" Lee Jordan has also seen so-called anti-monster glasses, and he doesn't think anyone would want to wear those ridiculous glasses. Glasses, let alone wearing those glasses to see The Quibbler.
"I think as long as Lovegood doesn't do anything stupid, he won't be exposed." Zannah felt that neither Death Eaters nor dark wizards would be interested in **** newspapers like "The Quibbler."
“By the way, tell Kingsley about Kenneth’s cooperation with us and ask them to set up a trap using Kenneth as bait. I think some guys should be targeting Kenneth.”
“Is this really okay?”
"No problem. If I give Kenneth some elixir of good fortune then, he should be fine, and the Ministry of Magic can reduce his father's sentence by one and a half years. I believe Kenneth will be very willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's actions. ." Albert glanced at the parchment that was being recorded next to him. After checking the rich things just now, he handed the parchment to Fred.
“Are you planning to leave?”
“Well, help me make an appointment with Bill another day. I have something to tell him.”
"What's up?"
"You will know when the time comes. Now keep it secret to prevent the secret from leaking out."
"cut?"
"If you are in a hurry, I can arrange for you tonight. I think he should be free."
"Another day, I'd better not go to the shack." Albert shook his head and said, "Those will cause trouble for them. Go to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, or find another place. You can talk to Bill about this first."
