Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 174 Substitutes

"Vajra body protection! No, it still doesn't work!"

After returning to the Muggle world, Maple naturally wanted to visit the Ray of Hope Company.Today's Light of Hope Company has changed dramatically. In the past year, the company has expanded dramatically, inflating hundreds of times like a balloon.

Based on card games, he developed handheld game consoles and got involved in the electronics industry.After taking this as an opportunity to get a foothold in the electronics industry, the Ray of Hope has no scruples about its own influence. They have to get involved in mobile phones, computers and other promising industries that Maple mentioned to Emily.

The biggest return on their investment is the entertainment industry. In the peaceful era that lasted for decades in a big country, the entertainment industry had sufficient soil for development.

Although the third world war is unlikely to occur after the two world wars due to the deterrence of nuclear bombs, the class conflicts caused by the gap between the rich and the poor have not disappeared or weakened. At this time, those governments that cannot curb these conflicts need to entertain this A kind of spiritual poison to numb the nerves and dissatisfaction of the people at the bottom.

In addition, apart from flower farming, the distinction between public education and elite education in these big countries has made class consolidation increasingly serious, and the entertainment industry has become a rare channel for people at the bottom to move upward.

Looking at the scene of beautiful college beauties flocking to Hengdian more than ten years later, one can imagine how tempting this temptation of fame and fortune is.

The United States, which advocates freedom, has always treated black citizens differently and discriminated against them, even after the emergence of black leader Martin Luther King.

But after the United States put many black faces in the NBA, the voice of America being unfair to black people quickly disappeared.But compared to the savings from lower treatment of black people in the United States, the wealth of NBA black people's sudden wealth is only a few dollars.

In the 21st century, you can easily buy Marxist books in bookstores and search them more quickly online, but no one is trying to make a communist revolution.

Under Maple's suggestion, and plagiarizing the ideas of American blockbusters that had not yet appeared, as soon as several sow-like classic blockbusters were released, the newly established Ray of Hope Film and Television Company directly dominated the entire Europe. often.

Like an octopus, the Light of Hope Group stretched out multiple tentacles and quickly occupied one chassis after another. Before those big guys from the old era could react, its products had spread to every corner of the UK, and they were already British. Samsung.

The Light of Hope Group has become a monopoly in many fields in the UK, but does it have the capital to enact an antitrust law to break up the Light of Hope Group?

The two world wars not only allowed Britain to take off its crown as an empire on which the sun never sets. After losing all its colonies, it also wanted to form the European Union with other European countries to keep warm.

It's just that although the EU has successfully resisted the pressure of the United States and the former behemoth Soviet Union, the EU's integration has not played a sufficient role in promoting the British economy. Instead, it has subsidized the underdeveloped countries in the EU.

It can be said that joining the EU has given Britain political advantages, but it has been a losing business economically.

Without the abundant income from the colonies, a large amount of finances had to be invested in high welfare policies to alleviate class conflicts.During the expansion and development of Light of Hope, it also led to several percentage points of growth in British GDP. Such a terrifying record left the British government without much confidence in facing it.

In addition, the Light of Hope Group also throws out large amounts of money from time to time to provide warmth and welfare projects to the people at the bottom.At the same time, they insisted on abandoning the concept of doing good deeds without leaving a name. Every time they did something, they would create public opinion and praise it in the newspapers they bought.

What depresses the British government the most is that their welfare policy funds are not less than those of the Light of Hope Group, and are even several times more. However, what the government gives, citizens think they deserve.What the Light of Hope Group gave was an unexpected windfall.

Moreover, the Light of Hope Group is also good at taking advantage of people's psychology, and their welfare projects largely choose poor areas.Before investing, they first showed everyone the poverty in that place through newspapers and media. Then after improving the local people's livelihood, they immediately showed the new faces of poor residents in newspapers and media.

They will not neglect wealthy areas. After all, there are poor people everywhere, and people are jealous.If you don't get it for a long time, it will make them resentful.Those poor people are pitiful, what does it have to do with me?Why are you giving it to him but not to me?

For the wealthy areas, they are determined not to be bad guys and do not designate a certain area for investment. Instead, they draw lots to see their luck, so that the selected areas think they are the lucky ones.

Otherwise, if we go from one area to another, those who get their turn will be happy, but those who haven't gotten their turn will feel resentful?

Moreover, as the government is involved in every place, it is thankless for the group, and it is easy for them to think that they deserve it.

The Light of Hope Group has used various means to create huge public opinion support among British citizens, making the government afraid to take direct action.

What worries the London government the most is that the Light of Hope Group took the lead in establishing and quickly monopolizing the British security company.

Everyone knows clearly that the so-called security company is a security company when you are good to me and everyone is good. When you make me unhappy, the company's security guards will turn into young and Dangerous guys at any time.

In addition, due to the development of the information industry, public opinion is becoming more and more important to government governance. Regular demonstrations in many European countries can now be applied for and are no longer illegal.

This does not represent their so-called freedom, but rather a decline in the government's credibility.

This also allows the consortium to retreat behind the scenes and control the situation, instead of directly serving in the government to attract firepower.But since you can bribe me, why am I afraid I won’t have any supporters if I pay double the money?

After the government was also divided, the policy to deal with the Light of Hope Group could only be ignored.

Maple didn't know what to think when she saw that she had been in charge of the Light of Hope Group for a long time but now she didn't recognize it.

However, seeing that the Light of Hope School and charity work that Maple had told him were not much lower than what he requested, Maple no longer paid attention to these messy things and left them to these people to deal with.

It’s just that although Emily helped Maple distribute many Light of Hope badges, even to foreign students coming to the UK, and the Light of Hope Group also used the Light of Hope logo designed by Maple when doing good deeds, these did not Help Maple complete the transformation from armor guardian to diamond guardian.

Is it because Westerners don’t believe in Buddhism?

So the power of faith in Buddhism is dead?

Is it possible to find a Christian church that caters to Westerners’ beliefs?

Maple was a little depressed, and all his hard work was in vain.

Although it is said that Maple let the light of hope appear partly because of his inner conscience, but later it was more because he felt that it could help the growth of his magic.

Maple thinks it's okay. It's not a big deal to turn charity into a business. You get what you need and I get what I want.Charity can only last long if there is a win-win situation.

As long as there are poor or disaster-stricken people who can get help, there is nothing to blame.After all, people like Principal Gu Han Hong are rare. We can only support them, but not expect everyone to be like them.

On the contrary, some official charities have received donations from caring people, but have not implemented them into the hands of the people affected by the disaster. They have even been greedy for disaster relief money. It is really shameful and has no lower limit!

So much effort was put into it, but it was all in vain. (Well, Maple actually didn’t spend many brain cells. What he told Emily was just telling what would happen in the future in advance.)

"Please come in!" Emily said without raising her head, continuing to look at the documents on the table and giving instructions.

"What are you looking at?" Maple asked Emily, who was still looking at the file.

"Oh, this is our new development plan," Emily looked up and realized it was Maple. She immediately put down the file and stood up, excitedly and incoherently: "Maple!"

"You continue to be busy, I'm just here to take a look." Maple said casually.

After chatting with Emily for a while, Maple glanced at the table and suddenly became interested after seeing a name: "This is?"

"This is a development plan in Little Hangleton, but there is a particularly large house here that belongs to Councilor Wilson, and it has not been negotiated yet."

Little Hangleton, the villa, yes, this should be the Riddle House,

Unexpectedly, there would be unexpected gains from coming here. If it weren't for the sudden familiar sight of 'Little Hangleton', Maple would have almost ignored the place where Voldemort was resurrected.

One of the key elements in Voldemort's resurrection is his father's bones. Should we destroy the bones of old Tom Riddle's family now and cut off the hope of Voldemort's resurrection this time?

Maple thought for a while and finally decided not to alert the enemy.

On the one hand, apart from the dark magic that resurrected Voldemort, Maple didn't know if there was any other dark magic that could have resurrected Voldemort.

On the other hand, for such important bones, even if Voldemort hadn't gone to Riddle House yet, that person might have been eyeing this place and even taken a copy of the bones in advance for emergencies.

After all, only a small amount of materials are needed to complete the resurrection potion.

Maple had no intention of stopping the fake Mad-Eye Moody. It was better to deal with an exposed undercover than to let the other party send an uncertain new target.

Although the other party knows now, he must not know that Maple has learned about the existence of such an enemy through Professor Trelawney's prophecy.Taking advantage of this, maybe you can help Maple gain some advantages at some point. "Give me the map here," Maple said to Emily, and then added: "Stop the construction around here, don't do it."

"Is there any problem?" Emily asked. As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and she thought of a possibility: "Could it be that this place has something to do with the people over there?"

"Yes, he is still a very dangerous person. Do you know the murderer your TV station reported on last year? He is also a wizard, and he escaped from the wizard prison?"

"Prison break? From wizard prison?" Looking at the horror on Emily's face, she seemed to have misunderstood something.In her opinion, if wizards are so magical and powerful, then their wizard prison must be even stricter, and Sirius Black, who successfully escaped from prison, must be particularly powerful and extremely vicious.The young wizard who had just stepped into the magical world from the secular world also believed that the official government of the magical world should be the most powerful, but after getting to know it, he realized that Principal Dumbledore, who could defeat the Ministry of Magic alone, was the real genius.

Emily, who did not understand the situation in the wizarding world, overestimated the combat power of Sirius Black who had escaped from prison, but Maple did not correct her.

After taking the map, Maple was ready to say goodbye to Emily, but unable to resist Emily's plea and agreeing to her invitation to have dinner with her, Maple went to Little Hangleton the next day.

He didn't get out of the car. After seeing Riddle House from a distance, Maple didn't get out of the car. After carefully looking around, he asked the Muggle driver to take him back.

Maple came here to check out the location. He wanted to take a look here before using apparation to get here.

This reminded Maple, and he took the Knight Bus next—

"Visit all the places you can go in the UK!"

This was the first time for the driver of the Knight Bus to hear such a strange request, but Maple took out a handful of gold galleons and asked, "Are these enough?" He immediately agreed readily.

Although the powerful magic allowed Maple to still see the surrounding scenes clearly at the top speed of the Knight Bus, Maple's eyes were a little sore after walking across the UK.

Okay, now, apart from the places he noted down that are hidden by magic, he can use Apparition to travel to various places in the UK at any time.

"He must have hidden that mouse, hey," a group of shadows in the darkness seemed to sneer, and then said: "We need to take action, but our current situation cannot come to the forefront, then--"

"Get a better substitute than that dirty rat."

"Let Claire act, it is not appropriate for the Dark Lord to know about our existence!"

In Azkaban, hundreds of dementors gathered here without a single wizard guarding them, which made it easier for them to move.

A dark figure broke into the island and immediately alerted the guards. The person who came did not seem to deliberately hide his figure.

Even if they give him a kiss, the Ministry of Magic can't say anything to the intruder. The joy of sucking people out is far less delicious than eating a soul.

For the intruder, the Dementor's first feeling was not anger, but excitement.

But when they came to the intruder, they unexpectedly discovered that their cold current seemed to have no effect on the person in front of them.When they approached, they did not absorb any happy food from the intruder, and the other party did not release a patron saint that disgusted them.

They had experienced this situation with that person before, the man they couldn't refuse.The man also imprinted his evil aura on his servants, making them unable to use the Patronus just like him.

The Patronus uses happy memories to get started when practicing, but its power comes from the bright and kind side of the heart. After being invaded by the black magic practiced and degenerated into a dark wizard, although they also have happy emotions, they cannot be allowed to use the Patronus again. God's power.

Feeling the same evil aura again, the dementors stopped hesitantly.

"Please accept it as a meeting gift!" Claire, who was hidden under the cloak, said. With a wave of the magic wand in his hand, several people flew over.

"Enjoy it as you like, even though it's a Muggle soul, the taste is a bit off!" Claire raised her lips slightly, and the coldness and ruthlessness in her tone made people shudder. It just cost a few lives.

"Ahhh!" Several Muggles were awakened and then screamed in terror.It was the dementors who took action. It seemed that the struggling souls of this fear made them feel more delicious.

"I've come to take someone from here - Bellatrix Lestrange!"

The dementors shook their heads protectively, as they were unwilling to let go of any prey here.

"I will exchange the soul of a wizard!" Claire added, "And I will feed her Polyjuice Potion and turn into Lestrange. So no prisoner escapes, he just dies. .”

This method is also how Barty Crouch rescued his son from Azkaban.

The dementors made whirring sounds, as if communicating with each other, and then shook their heads, muttering something in their mouths.I don’t know if Claire understood them, but she seemed to understand their meaning, as if she disliked them for being too little.

"Do you remember the Dark Lord? He is not dead. Bellatrix is ​​his most loyal servant. She will help her master make a comeback. The Dark Lord will remember your help and he will enjoy as many souls as he wants. Endless!" As Claire finished speaking, the dementors suddenly became commotion and then became excited.

Claire could feel their ecstasy after hearing Voldemort's name. Voldemort could give them too many temptations that they couldn't refuse.

Under this temptation, after Claire brought a wizard sacrifice, the dementors quickly agreed.

After feeding the victim Polyjuice Potion laced with Bellatrix's hair, Claire left her at the disposal of the Dementors.

Huh, if Celia hadn't been protected by Dumbledore now, she would have used her as a sacrifice to vent her hatred.

"Although it's not as good as taking advantage of your wand, let's make do with it first!" After coming out of Azkaban, Bellatrix quickly regained consciousness, and Claire threw a wand to her and said.

"Who are you? What is your purpose of saving me? Tell me the answer!" Bellatrix raised her wand and pointed it at Claire, shouting.

"You can't help me, only your master can." Claire said lightly, completely ignoring Bellatrix's threat.

"My master?" Bellatrix suddenly became excited at the mention of Voldemort.

"He is not dead. He almost came back with the Sorcerer's Stone two years ago, but unfortunately he was thwarted by Dumbledore," Claire said.

"Smelly old man!" Bellatrix cursed.

"That Quirrell guy seems to have met your master in the forest of Albania. I think we should go there to find him. I believe that with the help of his most loyal servant, the Dark Lord will make a comeback soon!" After saying the words 'the most loyal servant', Bellatrix immediately became fanatical as if her whole body had been pumped with blood.

Bellatrix was so excited when she thought about the honorary reward she would receive from Voldemort for helping the Dark Lord come back.

"If all the servants of the Dark Lord were as loyal as you, he would have come back a long time ago. Many of them even refused to go to Azkaban for the Dark Lord and lied about being deceived to avoid prison. They Although they were free, no one went to find their master, so the Dark Lord could only rely on a bad wizard the year before last..."

"Lucius. Narcissa, Crabbe, Goyle..." Claire continued to ignite the fire and successfully aroused Bellatrix's hatred. She gritted her teeth and muttered the names one by one.

Sure enough, Bellatrix, a fanatical and irrational guy, is Claire's best partner.
