The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Emotions are never something humans can control casually.

In fact, throughout human history, there are only a few people who can truly control their emotions perfectly.

Other times, more individuals are basically controlled by emotions.

So Norton's persuasion to Wendell to stay calm was more of a comfort.

Link Foley, or what Newland is using now, is a complete conspiracy.

Since now is not the best time to capture Beauxbatons, the best way to attack it is to besiege it, put great pressure on it mentally, make it tired, tired, and collapse in a long-term high-pressure environment.

This can ensure that the defenders inside Beauxbatons will be in the most mentally fatigued state at the moment when they can actually launch a general attack on Beauxbatons.

This trick is quite effective for Beauxbatons students who are still young, even in adolescence.

Even Norton had to admit that the person who came up with this method was definitely a genius.

Sighing, Norton stopped trying to persuade Wendell.

He returned to his desk and said while looking through the directory:

"The problem with food shouldn't be big. As wizards, even if we really consume all the food stored in Beauxbatons, we can continue to work for a while by using the transformation spell to turn leaves, bark and other things into roasted chicken and roasted duck. I just feel uncomfortable.

The real key supplies are the alchemical cannonballs used for defense, and the alchemical consumables used to maintain the operation of the alchemical rifled cannon and other protective facilities.

Can our suppliers currently supplement this part for us?

We'd even pay more Galleons if we could. "

"It won't work, Principal Norton." Wendell gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Didn't I just say that? The space around Beauxbatons has been sealed, and even house elves cannot use the Apparition Spell. ”

"Of course I know, so what I mean is, can they be sent in by other means? For example, digging tunnels, or walking by water at night? Haha, don't look at me with that look, my method sounds alright It's a bit stupid and crude, but in fact, it is this crude method that is most effective in many cases, because everyone thinks that the other party should not be so stupid."

"That's [-]% impossible! Because Lion Heart Street and other wizard markets are also key targets for wizards from the country. And now, they are all destroyed."

"Oh? How did you know? I remember that we have all been staying in Beauxbatons Castle recently, and there is no record of going out, right?"

"Yes, that's right, we did not go out. But that doesn't mean we don't have channels to receive information from the outside."

As Wendell spoke, he took out a bundle of newspapers tied with rubber bands from his arms, spread them out and smoothed them out and placed them on the table in front of Norton.

This series of operations stunned Norton.

He had just taught Wendell that sometimes the 'dumb way' was the best way, but he didn't expect Wendell to back up and taught him another lesson with examples.

How to get information without leaving home?

Then of course it’s reading the newspaper!

Norton felt a little ugly and muttered:

"I thought that at this juncture, France's Magic Post would have ceased publication."

"In fact, not only did they not stop, they actually worked harder."

Hearing what Wendell said, Norton lowered his head in surprise, and then realized that the newspapers in front of him were actually published by the French Magic Post yesterday and today.

And the content above is extremely embarrassing.

In chronological order, the core content of its reports can be sorted as follows:

The first newspaper, published the morning before, read, "Stupid country dogs are threatening to take over our toilets."

The second newspaper, published in the early hours of this morning, said, "A large number of dogs from the Republic of China are gathering at the center of their kennels!"

The third newspaper was published this morning, "The terrifying Japanese ogres have officially launched an attack on the closed French Ministry of Magic!"

The fourth newspaper was published at noon today, "Commissioner Link Foley of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China has led an army to occupy the Ministry of Magic of France and is marching towards Lionheart Street. We will defend our homeland to the death!"

The fifth newspaper, published a few hours ago, "His Majesty Link Foley has arrived in his loyal Lionheart Street!"

Seeing this, Norton let go of the newspaper in his hand, letting it pile up messily on the table, and then waved his arms, looking a little overwhelmed.

After a while, Norton finally calmed down and said with a wry smile:

"There has always been a joke among Muggles that a third of France's men went to heaven with their Joan of Arc, a third of the men went to hell with their Emperor Napoleon, and the last third One man also died in the trenches at Verdun. As for the rest, of course they were all women.

I always thought this was just a simple joke, at least those people were laughing at French Muggles.Our French wizards are probably more 'masculine'.

Unexpectedly, French wizards have the same virtues as French Muggles! "

"This is inevitable," Wendell shook his head and said, "After all, thanks to the open environment of the French magic world, wizards and Muggles have been living together for a long time, and it is normal for them to be influenced by Muggles. . But I think your focus should not be on such inconsequential things, but you need to take a closer look at the current situation of Lion Heart Street and other wizarding markets."

When Norton heard this, he did not continue to flip through the newspapers, but slumped down on the soft chair.

The situation of the French wizard market has been clearly described with magical photos in the "French Magic Post".

Especially Lion Heart Street.

As early as the beginning of the Furstenberg Square riots, Lionheart Street, the most prosperous commercial street in the French magical world, had already become a hell.

A large number of thugs stormed Lionheart Street and began purging anyone they considered to be lackeys of the French Ministry of Magic.

Following closely behind were the dark wizards entrenched near Lion Heart Street.

Holding the name of thugs high, they infiltrated into Lion Heart Street and immediately began to take advantage of the situation.

When the normal riots gradually subsided, Lionheart Street was almost in ruins, and more than [-]% of the shops were smashed, smashed, and looted. The business system of the French magic world was completely paralyzed, and it became a stronghold occupied by dark wizards and thugs.

The thugs took advantage of the special characteristics of Lionheart Street to wantonly suck blood from the French magic world, and perfectly controlled public opinion.

So in a sense, it is actually a good thing that Link Foley led people to break through Lion Heart Street, and it can even be said to be a kind of liberation.

At least Lion Heart Street will be much better in the hands of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China than in the hands of that group of thugs.

But this is only for ordinary wizards who are subject to thugs and dark wizards.

For Norton, this was hugely bad news.

You must know that almost all of Beauxbatons' supplies are replenished through Lion Heart Street.

This kind of replenishment continued even when Lion Heart Street was occupied by thugs.

Because the amount was so huge that even thugs could not ignore the profits.

But now this supplement must be gone.

The Ministry of Magic of the United States will not act in favor of its enemies because of huge profits. If Link Foley knew about this, he would be skinned and cramped!

Norton frowned and said to Wendell:

"Lower the reaction range of the alchemical rifled cannons. Don't let them target enemies in the air. Try to save ammunition. At present, our ammunition is estimated to not be replenished for a long time in the future. I We don’t want to wait until Link Foley actually shows up, and we don’t even have a cannonball left.”

"What about other protective spells?" Wendell nodded, "For example, should the energy frequency of the peripheral protective shield be lowered? This can also save part of the energy expenditure."

"No, no, no! We cannot save energy in this area. Do you believe it or not? If we dare to lower the energy output of the protective shield, the group of Aurors from the country outside will dare to fake it and directly break through our defenses."

After Norton finished speaking, another series of explosions came from the window.

The expressions of the two people in the office changed, and when they looked up, they saw Newland and others roaring again over Beauxbatons, starting a new round of teasing attacks.

And compared to before, Newland and others went even further this time.

Because while they were attacking, they were also scattering huge amounts of small pieces of surrender paper towards Beauxbatons.

Norton opened the window and with a flick of his finger, a large number of pieces of paper automatically flew into the office.

He looked at the paper in his hand, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

Because these pieces of surrender paper were not only printed with ordinary content, such as 'surrender without killing', but also painted the situation within the French Ministry of Magic in the form of magical portraits.

Anyone who still thinks that he is a French wizard will be very angry when he sees such magic pictures.

After all, although the French Ministry of Magic is not powerful, it is also the belief of French wizards.

Most importantly, Norton knew that most of the patterns drawn on the pieces of paper were real.

After a long sigh, Norton said slightly dejectedly:

"This is about attacking the heart!"

"Principal Norton, we probably won't be able to survive for too long under such harassment." Wendell also said with a sad face, "This is not a question of whether there are enough supplies, but the hearts and spirits of other students and professors simply can't stand this. s attack."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, let me think of a way, there will be a way, there will be a way..."

Norton leaned on the back of the soft chair, waved his hands and said weakly.

His voice became softer and softer, until eventually it was so weak that even Wendell couldn't hear it.

……

"Extra! Extra! Commissioner Link Foley has led the coalition forces of the Republic of China and the Ministry of Magic to conquer the French Ministry of Magic! The French frogs are simply vulnerable! We have won!"

In Diagon Alley, young men wearing newsboy hats waved the latest edition of the Daily Prophet and shouted as they passed through the street.

There weren't actually many people in Diagon Alley at the moment.

In order to launch a war against the French Ministry of Magic, Link took away a large part of the young and middle-aged men in the French magic world. This directly resulted in the fact that most of the active people on the streets were only the elderly, weak, women and children.

And even among these old, weak, women and children, a large number of them are in a very bad mood.

After all, their men have been thrown into the flesh-and-blood millstone called 'war', and it is still unknown whether they can come back.

After the initial excitement faded and the unknown fear shrouded their heads again, they naturally turned their resentment towards the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China.

This has also directly led to the fact that the entire Diagon Alley is now somewhat lifeless.

Most of the people walking on the street had gloomy faces and hurried steps, as if they were eager to seek revenge.

At this special moment, noisy people like young people in newsboy hats on the streets will naturally arouse the disgust of many people.

Because this will make their already depressed mood even more irritable.

However, when they truly heard what the young man in the newsboy hat was saying, everyone was stunned.

Wherever the young man in the newsboy hat passed, there was an abrupt silence at first, and then a series of deafening cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

Many people began to chase the young man in the newsboy hat, eager to buy the latest edition of the "Daily Prophet" from him.

And more people hurried to the shops with floo network fireplaces nearby.

They are more rational, and naturally understand that people like the young man in the newsboy hat only play a notification role, and if you want to buy the Daily Prophet from him, you will not show it at all.

If you want to get the latest and most complete news, the best way is to go home quickly.

You must know that the "Daily Prophet" must attach great importance to such important information about the results of the front line. I am afraid that the newspapers recording these things have already been sent to their homes.

The noise on the street also reached the Leaky Cauldron.

At this moment, the Leaky Cauldron has a completely new look.

Under the attack of bar owner Tom's golden galleons, the construction team composed entirely of goblins spent less than a week renovating the original ruins of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

The new Leaky Cauldron Bar adopts a Viking-like style as a whole, and some modern alchemy equipment is incorporated into it to improve its practicality.

The effect created by this combination is unique even among the many new bars and teahouses in Diagon Alley.

And this directly caused the business of the Leaky Cauldron to get better and better.

Those who have not been able to go to the battlefield due to age, disability or other reasons gather in the Leaky Cauldron almost every day, complaining about Commissioner Link Foley's short-sightedness, and at the same time praying for the war on the front line. With.

This makes Old Tom very happy.

You know, the best food to accompany wine is the mood.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, the bar owner Tom glanced at the busy scene outside the window, smiled knowingly, and then focused his attention on the newspaper in front of him again.

As one of the most well-informed people in the entire Diagon Alley, and even in the wizarding world of the United States, he has naturally already received information about the collapse of the French Ministry of Magic. Even today's latest edition of " He also got the Daily Prophet early.
