Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 488 The old fox confronts the little fox
As for the remaining people, Hogg realized that they did not have a unified job title, so he collectively called them handymen.

In fact, there are all kinds of people among these people, there are wizards and Muggles, and the jobs they do are indeed complicated, some cook, some prepare meals for magical animals, and some clean up. Most of them are actually maintenance The team and the medical team played hand in hand.

It's just that Anduin was secretly startled when he saw the number of these so-called handymen.

"There are 113 handymen in this base? Wouldn't it be more than 200 including the rest of the wizards?" Anduin looked at Hogg with some surprise.

"That's right, my lord, this is still an incomplete statistics. After all, some people did not appear in front of the surveillance cameras, and only about 20 of them are wizards, and the rest are all Muggles. Many of them belong to those wizards." Family members and jobs are also very unstable, basically they go wherever they need help." Hogg shrugged helplessly.

"I didn't expect this Golden Snidget to be quite dark." Once Anduin saw the number of people, he understood the plan of the silver spear in his heart, which clearly took this large number of Muggles as hostages.

However, this alone was not enough to make Anduin be wary. He expected that there would be a large number of people in the breeding base, but he didn't expect there to be so many people, and the proportion of Muggles was so high.

This is obviously a situation that the Silver Spear did intentionally, because it does not require so many people to operate a breeding base of the current size.

After thinking about it in his heart, Anduin sorted out the joints, but he didn't get too entangled in it, and just looked at Hogg again, "Anything else?"

"Yes, Shalltear tracked down Claremont just now. He is indeed the behind-the-scenes manager of this base. This is their conversation and briefing. Now Claremont has entered the place he called [Core Hub] , and has not appeared for a long time." After Hogg's simple and quick Anduin report, he handed out another stack of parchment.

After taking it, Anduin took a closer look, and then he chuckled, "Very good, Shalltear did a good job, and now she has made a great contribution."

"Oh? Is there anything we can use here?" Hogg asked curiously.

"This information is the biggest role. From Claremont's conversation, we can summarize the following points."

"First, except for Claremont and his assistant Gail in this breeding base, only members of the patrol team are really trustworthy, and the rest, whether they are wizards or Muggles, think that what they are doing is legitimate. work, and these people may come in handy in the future.”

"Secondly, Claremont wants to obtain West Germany's product agency rights from us, and he has revealed the bottom line. We may use this to get closer to Clemente and let him be our helper."

"Third, that [core hub] has a passage to the outside world, and Claremont is the manager, the key to breaking the barrier is there!"

Anduin explained to Hogg simply and directly that the information Shalltear detected today is really crucial, and with this information, his actions can be accelerated a lot.

"Let Claremont be our helper? He is not with us, how could he help us, are you planning to use the Imperius Curse to control him?" Hogg looked at Anduin in confusion.

"No, using the Imperius Curse on the person with the silver spear at will will easily expose the target. The club has a way to protect the mind. When I say let him be a helper, I mean let him be used by us without knowing it."

After Anduin chuckled, his gaze shifted to the monitor screen, "Which one is Claremont's office, let me see."

Let him be used by us unconsciously?Hogg was a little confused, but he immediately obeyed and pointed out the picture of Claremont's office for Anduin.

After Anduin observed the whole picture carefully, a smile gradually appeared on his face, "There are three griffin ornaments in his office, it seems that he likes this kind of creature very much."

"Ah?" Hogg looked at Anduin in a daze, he didn't understand why the lord suddenly cared about the other's hobbies.

Anduin didn't say much, he just asked Hogg to keep guarding the monitoring, and then returned to his alchemy laboratory again.

……

The next day, Anduin, dressed in formal attire, appeared in front of the "Claremont Magic Supply Store" in the West German area of ​​Dudden House. He received an invitation from the other party early this morning.

Although Anduin had known Claremont's plan for a long time, he didn't expect the other party to act so eagerly.

And when he just appeared in the other party's shop, a formally dressed witch appeared in front of him with a professional smile on his face.

"You must be Mr. Wilson. Your Excellency Claremont has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me." The young witch said to Anduin with a decent manner. They have long been instructed by the boss, and a distinguished guest will come to the door today. , so that they must entertain well.

Anduin also nodded with a smile when he saw this, and at the same time visited Claremont's shop with great interest.

It can be seen that this Claremont is indeed quite powerful. The other party's magic supply shop occupies a very large area, and there are actually two floors, and the whole shop is also very luxuriously decorated.

It's just that the other party doesn't seem to have any self-developed alchemy products. Most of the products sold internally are props imported from abroad. broom.

As the witch went up to the second floor, after stepping into the inner office, he saw Claremont standing in front of the main entrance, dressed very formally and politely, looking ahead with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Mr. Wilson. I didn't expect you to come to Germany on business in person. I'm really flattered." Upon seeing Anduin, Claremont greeted him enthusiastically with open arms, shaking hands excitedly. Holding Anduin's hands, he said generously.

"You are welcome, Mr. Claremont. After all, I am only a young man. You can just call me Anduin directly. I didn't expect you to come out to greet me in person. I should be the one who is flattered."

Anduin only saw from the corner of his eye that in the other party's office, there were specially prepared exquisite snacks, and fresh bouquets were replaced in the vases. It was obvious that the other party was full of reception etiquette.

Anduin naturally showed a pleasant expression about this, and also just held the opponent's hands.

"Haha, Anduin, as the youngest winner of the International Alchemy Conference Pioneering Contribution Gold Award in history, your name has spread throughout the wizarding circles of Europe in this year, so how can you accept your specifications? Low, come in quickly, I have already prepared tea for you, come and have a good taste."

Claremont is worthy of being an old fox with full 'hypocrisy' attributes, but when facing a young man under the age of 20, he behaved as if he was interviewing the Minister of Magic.

If Anduin didn't know the details of the other party, maybe he was really deceived by his fake face.

After Claremont led Anduin to a seat on the sofa, he waved to the staff outside the door with a smile and drove them away, then leaned down enthusiastically and poured a cup of fragrant coffee for Anduin himself.

At the same time, he said politely, "Come and taste my coffee. This is the first-class coffee beans cultivated by Roman wizards with their unique magic. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."

"Thank you, Lord Claremont." Anduin took the cup of coffee poured by the other party and nodded slightly with a smile. "I'm sorry to waste your precious time by coming to visit so abruptly."

"What are you talking about? You came all the way to Germany as the person in charge of Silver Flash Trading Company. We landlords should treat you well." Claremont looked at Anduin with a smile, as if the person in front of him People are not just acquainted, but friends for many years.

"Anyway, I would like to thank you for your hospitality." After Anduin said politely, he immediately became serious, "I am honored to be able to visit your magic supplies store today, I did not expect that you are so powerful and cover such a wide range of business , I can even see the latest magic camera of the season in Egypt here,"

"Haha, you really are a professional. I didn't expect you to see it at a glance." Claremont looked at Anduin with a surprised expression.

"It's also a coincidence." Anduin chuckled, "The latest magic camera of this season was designed by our firm with the help of Ms. Abdu. It belongs to the same series as our latest magic lamp and phonograph, and they are jointly released as a joint product. This series also combines several props from several other alchemy companies in Egypt, but you haven’t seen them here, are they selling too well, or are they not suitable for your market?”

The smile on Claremont's face became a little stiff when he heard Anduin's words, and at the same time he cursed inwardly, this little fox is deliberately trying to give me a bad blow.

But at this time, Claremont was secretly startled by Anduin's soft power. It seems that this kid is not in vain. Engage in joint activities in business.

However, it was not the first day he came out to mess around, and he still maintained a brimming smile, "We are no match for you. We are very lucky to be able to introduce a few new products. Maybe in the future we will count on you to help us get more from Egypt." A few sales permits, or I'll have to drink Mistral sooner or later."

Anduin's smile didn't fade when he heard that, but his brows were still slightly raised. This guy is really worthy of being an old fox. He is so flexible and flexible, and he still plays the trick of retreating to advance with me, right? Is it possible that he still wants to kill me?
