Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 543 Transaction

"Kang~na~!! I miss you so much!"

As soon as Connor got out of the car, a petite body fell into his arms. It was his little girlfriend Alice, whom he hadn't seen for two days.

Connor held Alice's shoulders, his expression a little guilty: "Ahem, I miss you too, my dear."

Alice sniffed, then poked her head out of Connor's arms, and immediately saw Penelo getting out of the passenger car, and frowned: "Connor, why did you bring her with you?"

Before Connor could think of a way to fool him, Penello came over and raised his neck and said, "I am Connor's secretary, why can't I come?"

"Tsk" Alice just thought it was the howl of a defeated dog, rolled her eyes and ignored it, pulling Connor inside:

"The two Muggle Dukes are waiting inside, and the royal family is receiving them. By the way, Connor, have you had breakfast? I asked the servant to prepare tea."

Seeing Alice openly ignoring him, it was impossible not to be angry. However, compared to being angry, Penelo felt much more relaxed. The little bit of guilt towards Alice for "stealing a man" disappeared instantly. Nello sneered and followed, sneaking a touch of Connor's butt while Alice wasn't paying attention.

"?"

Connor turned around sharply and glanced at Penello, who looked expressionless as if nothing had happened. Then he glanced at Alice, who didn't notice any abnormalities and looked happy. He felt a drum in his heart and finally realized that his life in the future seemed not to be easy. Already.

"Uncle Hume, do you know what the Queen asked us to do this time?" The upright young Duke of Devonshire, Richard Cavendish, asked the nearly fifty-year-old gentleman next to him.

"Didn't Prince Louis just say that he wants to negotiate a business deal with us?" The contemporary Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, sat on the side, leaning on his cane and said calmly.

The two dukes came to the castle early in the morning. After all, the queen still had to give her face, but they didn't expect that it was the young prince who received them instead of the queen, and after being polite for a long time, they didn't explain clearly that they were invited to come. reason.

The prince just said that he was going to pick up a distinguished guest. The young Duke of Devonshire could no longer hold his temper and talk to the old Duke.

"If we are just talking about business, why bother making it so mysterious?" Duke Richard said insinuatingly: "This kind of invitation has never happened before. Do you know the mysterious guest?"

Old Duke Hume glanced at the young Duke. The old god pointed to the sky and said, "I've already said he is a mysterious guest, don't you understand?"

"You mean!?" Duke Richard's eyes widened. Before he could answer the question, the door to the living room was pushed open. Prince Louis, who had just left, came back with three children. Wait, is this the distinguished guest?

The old Duke, who looked calm just now, immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Louis, I have been waiting for a long time, why don't you introduce these friends to me?"

"?!" The little Duke was stunned on the spot by this guy's change of expression. Hey, does this old guy only show off to me? Duke Richard still didn't understand that this must be a real "expensive" guest, so he quickly stood up and approached enthusiastically.

Prince Louis was already in his thirties, and he could still vaguely see the glory of youth and romance, but his hair was a bit bald. He quickly introduced to the people on both sides:

"This is Mr. Connor Lake and his secretary, Miss Penelope Crevat, and this is my cousin Alice Windsor. They are both wizards," Louis said solemnly.

The two dukes immediately became energetic. In other words, they guessed correctly. Today was indeed an encounter with that mysterious world. As "nobles" standing at the top of the country, they certainly knew that this world had another dark side.

In fact, the existence of wizards is not a secret among the top Muggles, but any old family with some inheritance will have records about wizards. What's more, wizards in Britain today do not hide their existence very strictly - the little wizard's Family members such as Penello's parents knew about wizards.

In particular, these aristocratic nobles who control most of the resources in society actively pursue mysteries. For example, the old Duke Hume once spent a lot of resources to understand the wizards as a group and tried to contact the wizards. Knowing that the wizard holds the secret to immortality

It's a pity that no wizard will pay attention to Muggles, not to mention the mandatory restrictions such as the Secrecy Act, most wizards are not interested in Muggles.

There will be communication between the two groups if there is a need. Muggles may desire the mysterious power of wizards, but wizards have little need for Muggles.

In addition to exchanging some Muggle currency to buy some rare items, or going to the market to purchase some food and vegetables from all over the world, wizards are self-sufficient in almost all their needs, and there is no need or desire to communicate with Muggles.

Therefore, after spending more than ten years, the old Duke could not find out much information about the wizard group, and no wizard was willing to communicate with him in depth. Originally, he was planning to give up, but he never expected that one day the wizard would take the initiative to find him. Come to visit, so Duke Hume is actually very excited today. For an elderly nobleman like him who has tasted the beauty of the world, the mysterious magical world has an absolute attraction.

After the two parties greeted each other, they each sat down in the living room. The old Duke asked: "Lake. I wonder what the relationship between Lake Company, which is very famous in London recently, and Mr. Connor are?"

"That's our family's company, and the boss, Charles, is my second uncle."

The old Duke nodded, looked at each other and stopped talking.

Connor didn't intend to be polite to them, and quickly got to the point.

"Two gentlemen, you must also know that we are here to discuss a business today."

The old Duke took over the conversation: "I would like to hear the details."

Connor glanced at the young, middle-aged and old trio sitting opposite, and said seriously: "But before we start, we must sign a contract to ensure that our conversation today will not be leaked. This is also for safety reasons. I hope a few You can understand.”

Several people looked at each other in pairs, had no objections to this, and nodded quickly. Then they saw Connor take out a kind of parchment from somewhere, and the paper flew over in violation of the laws of physics. Seeing this, they were finally convinced that today's meeting was unusual.

The Duke and Prince looked at the parchment. There were only a few simple sentences on it, which roughly meant "What happened today cannot be disclosed to outsiders in any form." There was no problem, and the three of them signed their names one after another.

Then Connor handed the parchment to Alice beside him.

"Eh? Do I want to sign too?"

Connor rolled his eyes: "Of course, Penello also wants to sign. It's a very serious matter. Do you think you're here for fun?"

Alice smiled sheepishly and signed.

Connor took back the contract from Penello, and then paid it to the "witness". He himself was not restricted by the contract. The parchment burned without fire, and the contract was established.

The three "Muggles" looked at this scene with a look of wonder. This mysterious and unnatural phenomenon was happening right in front of their eyes. It was an unprecedented experience for them.

"Okay, without further ado, let's get down to business," Connor straightened his posture and said, "First of all, before I propose this deal, you must know that the business we are going to discuss today violates the laws of our wizarding world. .”
