Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Barry Macmillan managed to lose himself on Wigmore Street.

'It must be because I've lost my mind to violate people's privacy! ' he thought.

Barry McMillan originally wanted to take out the letter, pretending that he didn't write the letter and came to visit directly, but it was actually not very appropriate to do so.That's why he thought of this after losing himself. His original intention must be that he didn't want to be such an impolite person!

Barry Macmillan was on the verge of tears.

The reason why he didn't hold his head and cry was because the previous doubts came to the fore: why did the letter disappear?

What's wrong?

In this emotionally disturbed situation, Barry McMillan restrained himself and did not rush to knock on the door. He had to be slow and calm.

Yes, calm down.

Barry Macmillan can't do it.

Fortunately, his mobile phone rang at this time, and it was the marketing manager Rosa Collins who called.

Barry McMillan personally taught her the manuscript of "The Adventures of Greenwood" and recommended it to her. Vicious, after reading the manuscript with the fastest speed, she also thinks that this book has great potential, and is also very interested in signing the author, so she called to inquire about the progress, but she didn't expect that she hadn't said anything yet , Barry McMillan on the other end gave her a surprise.

Rosa Collins: "…"

Barry Macmillan: "I'm not crazy!"

Rosa Collins: "...I didn't say anything. Listen, you're driving your car, going back to your apartment and getting a good night's sleep, and I'll get you some time off from your department - of course you Not crazy, you just need to rest."

Barry Macmillan: "Mr Lockhart's side?"

Rosa Collins was extremely calm: "Since you are not crazy, it means that if other publishers gave him a reply, the letter would also disappear after being put in the mailbox, right?"

Barry Macmillan: "Yeah."

Rosa Collins: "So take a break, Mr Macmillan."

Just as Barry McMillan wanted to say thank you, Rosa Collins' voice continued to come out of the microphone: "Do you need me to send an assistant to pick you up?"

Barry Macmillan: "...I'm not crazy, okay!"

After being made such a fuss, Barry McMillan calmed down a lot, and he decided to go home and take a good rest.To be honest, he has been in an excited state for the past two days, he didn't feel very sleepy, and he didn't sleep well, so it is really possible that he had hallucinations because he didn't have a good rest.

No no, he's not crazy.

Barry Macmillan woke up believing it.

So, the problem is back to the original point.

How did that letter disappear?

magic?

g.rlkhart is the postman?

Barry Macmillan was caught up in his own reasoning, and the fact is that G.rlkhart, aka Linning, had placed a specially made portkey in a letter box outside her apartment, but any Muggle community Letters or packages that arrive in it will be automatically delivered to their home in Cornwall after triggering the door key.Barry Macmillan arrived a few steps later with the postman, and the letter had of course been delivered.

In this way, Barry McMillan was quite lucky. He didn't see the process of the letter disappearing. Although he was not much better, he really doubted his life at that moment.

But Barry McMillan is not alone.

In the southern hemisphere, two others traveled with Barry McMillan.

The black wizard with most of his head wrapped in a dirty gray bandage is called Bagman, and the black wizard who keeps a rune snake is Krivat. They also have a companion, who was Lin Ning before. The suspected vampire woman seen at the Kangaroo Pocket Bar.Considering that she is not at the scene, let's not talk about her, let's talk about Bagman and Krivat, their original intention is to kill and get money, and Lin Ning and his party are fat sheep to them, but they didn't expect to be lambs to be slaughtered As soon as they came up, they threw such a shocking news at them.

Among them, Krivat, who was said to have body odor, was even more embarrassed.

Bagman stammered, "Are you a Parseltongue?"

Lin Ning said without hesitation, "No."

Bagman: "Huh?"

Clearwater: "???"

Lin Ning shrugged: "I just said that in English, why do you think I'm a Parseltongue? Oh, I understand, I said he smells of garlic and is a body odor wizard, just Random talk. No, I didn't say it casually, I was throwing back at you, you can take this as our pre-duel talk, like you just said 'look what we found , a fat sheep', and 'little boy, are you scared stupid'."

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze from Bagman to Crivat, who has the rune snake as a pet, "Besides, if I were a Parseltongue, I could just order that rune snake to bite you to death, no? ?"

The Rune Snake has Ministry of Magic classification level xxxx, and the fangs in the far right mouth are highly poisonous.

Clearwater: "..."

Bagman: "..."

After Crivatt came back to his senses, he sneered: "Whether you are Parseltongue or not, you don't want to leave alive today!" He took out his wand as he spoke, and Bagman was not far behind. Pulling out his wand, they don't have any one-on-one fighting spirit, let alone mercy, which can be seen from the fact that Krivat read "Avada Kedavra" as soon as he came up.

"avadakeda—"

It's just that one of Clearwater's Unforgivable Curses was only halfway through, and the wand automatically turned off.

Clearwater: "??"

Bagman thought that Crivat was so scared that he didn't even pull out his wand when he saw the little boy on the opposite side, so he felt that such a one-hit kill was boring, so he showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and said with a grin: "How dare this little boy play tricks on us? We really should give him a little taste first."

Clearwater: "..."

Bagman thought that Clearwater had acquiesced, so he pointed his wand at Lin Ning, and was about to say the Cruciatus Curse among the three unforgivable curses, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his wand fell from the He broke away from his hand and flew into the hands of the little boy in his mouth.

Bagman: "...!"

At this time, no matter how stupid he is, he will understand what is going on, "Silence without stick!"

Lin Ning also thought about it: "I now understand why when wizards duel, both sides of the duel will shout it out loud before using the spell, because in this way, both sides will not feel embarrassed, and will not feel that such behavior What's wrong with that. But it's too unfriendly to people who use silent or silent wand magic, and I think you two really feel it?"

Clearwater: "..."

Bagman: "..."

Is it just a silly and sweet British wizard?

Clearwater and Bagman have done a lot of murder and robbing before, and it's not like they haven't encountered hard problems, but they haven't had such hard problems before. They don't want to just die here.They want to Apparate, but they are afraid that after they call out the Apparating Curse, they will be stopped immediately by a curse, causing them to be cut in half, but if they are stubborn?Bagman has no wand, and his combat power is greatly reduced, but Crivatt's brain is more flexible. He thinks that silent and wandless magic requires a lot of magic power, and all wizards who can do it are old wizards who have lived for a long time. This little boy can use two silent and wandless spells. I'm afraid it's the limit, right?Besides, they can still attack the little girl next to him. If they make a lot of noise, he doesn't believe that this little boy can still take care of him?

Thinking of this, Krivat threw the rune snake hanging on his arm towards the White Queen who was being held by Lin Ning, "Bite her!"

As a magical creature, the Rune Snake can understand simple English, not to mention that Krivat kept it as a pet for a while, so the Rune Snake can still execute the command of "bite her" .Besides, Krivat's original intention was not like this, he just wanted to take the opportunity to make the other party panic.

Lin Ning didn't move his eyebrows.

The White Queen didn't even pay him any attention.

Clearwater: "..."

As for the rune snake?It was a big snake with a length of two meters. Even if Krivat threw it, he didn't throw it very far. It just fell to the ground with a "slap".Facing Lin Ning, who was facing it, the head on the far left did not make any follow-up actions after glancing at Lin Ning. The head in the middle was more straightforward and lay down directly on the ground, but the one on the right had been hissing impatiently since just now. Calling, this time is no exception.

"Fizz!"

None of the other two heads responded.

"Fizz!"

Still no brains care about it.

Lin Ning slowly opened his mouth: "By the way, do you two want to know what it is talking about?"

"!" x2

Before they could react, Lin Ning used the magic wand in his hand, and finally brought the duel back on track and shouted: "All petrified!"

Bagman: "...!"

Clearwater: "...!"

Isn't this too cunning?

What made them even more ashamed and aggrieved was that after Lin Ning had petrified them all, he did not forget to get rid of Krivat's wand, and used his wand to cast a petrification spell on them again.

After feeling the direction of the magic power, Lin Ning bowed his head and said to the White Queen: "I don't feel comfortable using their wands, it's not as comfortable as the silent spell."

In fact, Lockhart's original wand with cherry wood and dragon heartstrings as the inner core, Lin Ning used it well at first, but later on, her magic power became more "reserved" than before with the nourishment of the soul. After that, it is not so suitable.

Speaking of which, cherry wood is a very rare wand wood in the magic world, which can endow the wand with strange power, and no matter what kind of inner core it is equipped with, cherry wood will usually endow the wand with real lethality, but if it is paired with Dragon nerves, then this wand will not work with a wizard who does not have extraordinary self-control and willpower.

In this way, Lockhart is in this "but", he does not seem to have extraordinary self-control and willpower.And Lin Ning can do it, but this wand originally belonged to Lockhart, so it makes sense that it is not completely compatible with her now.

Lin Ning thought about it, she probably needed a new wand.

It's just that the black wizards who can't move their whole body and still have their senses: "..."

It can only be said that "pretending to be invisible is the most deadly".

Lin Ning did not kill the two dark wizards, Bagman and Clearwater, which were the work of the Australian Ministry of Magic, but before handing them over to the Australian Ministry of Magic, Lin Ning interrogated them first.

It turns out that the woman covered by the black veil is really a vampire. She made all the kangaroos that were massacred recently. She needs to suck their blood, and the reason why they came to Australia is actually because of egg white eyes. here.

The skin, blood, heart, liver and horns of the fire dragon all have strong magical functions, and the fire dragon eggs are listed as a Class A non-trading product.They can't hide dragons, but they can hide dragon eggs very well. A dragon egg can be sold for a pretty good price on the black market, and they are planning to make an entry from a guard in the opaleye protection area. After checking the spot, I happened to see Lin Ning at the Kangaroo Pocket Bar.

They can tell at a glance whether a sheep is fat or not.

It's just that he is indeed a fat sheep, but he is not easy to mess with.

Lin Ning didn't need their approval, they were no better than ordinary people without their wands, and the most powerful one in their family was still in the sky.

Lin Ning tugged the rope tied around his wrist, and then cast a stun spell on the two black wizards who were strong outsiders but incapable, and then said to the pitcher plant on the other end of the rope: "Nepenthes, how do you feel now?"

Nepenthes: "Wow~"

It feels super good now, it feels like being in a sea of ​​insects, but it still didn't forget to look down, and saw the eye-catching rune snake at a glance.

Nepenthes: "!"

It flutters and flutters, and it turns out that it has done useless work.

With a tacit understanding, Lin Ning also looked at the rune snake.

The White Queen didn't say anything.

After a while, Lin Ning said slowly, "It has two penises, so it's a male."

The White Queen: "...your description is a bit strange."

Lin Ning corrected: "I mean it's a male snake, so it can't lay eggs, and I'm more interested in the rune snake's eggs - I don't mean to adopt this rune snake, dear .” She didn’t miss the change in her dear’s expression, so she reflected on it:

"So you don't have to worry," Lin Ning pretended to be very depressed, "I don't even know when I became a flamboyant person who always wants to get a 'newcomer' at home. I really don't have such a desire, at least for Is there a rune snake? Well, I am guilty, but I mean that even if I am interested in someone, I definitely have no intention of letting anyone be our companion. Well, it seems that the more I say it, the more wrong it is .”

The White Queen said seriously: "It's really not right."

Lin Ning lowered his head.

The rune snakes that became the focus for a while began to neigh again, no, they were talking to each other.

Right head: "Hisss!"

Left head: "Hiss."

Right head: "Hiss hiss!"

The head in the middle did not speak from the beginning to the end, and it is Jin's good habit to keep silent.

As Lin Ning, who has been from Baishening to Jiaolongning, she can actually understand snake language, and she can still say what she is told now. This is probably the so-called soul imprint.So in her ears, the one on the rune snake's three heads that has been hissing anxiously (the one on the right) has been chattering, first saying that the black wizard who kept it as a pet is a body odor man, and now It's blaming the left brain for making bad decisions all along, and if it wasn't for it, they wouldn't be where they are now.

The left head shuts it up.

The right head obviously didn't shut up, and began to curse at the middle head again, saying that it knows how to be in a daze all day long, thinking about unrealistic things, and that is nothing but daydreaming.

The left head: 'You fucking shut up for me! '

Right head: 'Are you stupid?We were born by the same snake, my mother is your mother.And why should I shut up?It's obviously both of you's fault, why do I have to suffer with you?I'd rather stay in Burkina Faso, it's my dream country. 'Burkina Faso is a small country in Africa, the original place of the rune snake, where the Burkina Faso Ministry of Magic will not mark certain forests on the map, so that the rune snake For exclusive use.

Middle head: 'I said the word Dreamland first, you are not allowed to use that word. '

The right head: 'This is not your exclusive vocabulary, why can't I use it?You know what, you're an idiot with a head full of idiots and daydreams! '

Left head: 'I've had enough of you gossip! '

Middle head: 'Second! '

Right head: 'You have the guts to bite me! '

That's a good idea, the left head and the middle head look at each other, then join the heads to attack the right head.Their two heads have a numerical advantage, and the teeth on the right head are highly poisonous, so the result of the mutual attack is that the right head was bitten off, and the remaining two heads died of poisoning.Besides, even if there is no poisoning, after a head is lost, they will not survive very well.

Lin Ning: "..."

White Queen: "..."

Nepenthes: "???"

How should I say it?This is actually the norm for rune snakes.They often attack each other because their faces do not match their hearts, which leads to a long life. In general, the right head is attacked by the other two heads together.

That mouth is too annoying to catch the snake's head.

Worth mentioning are their eggs.

Rune snakes lay their eggs in their mouths, and their eggs are valuable for making potions and triggering brain responses.That's why Lin Ning focused on their eggs, and the import and export of rune snakes are strictly controlled, and if you want their eggs, you can only go to the black market. Coincidentally, Lin Ning just got them from those two black wizards Know the black market they know.

Besides, there is also a so-called black market in the British wizarding world, and that is Knockturn Alley adjacent to Diagon Alley.Lin Ning actually visited Knockturn Alley, from which he bought many magical items that were prohibited from being sold on the market, including a nest of black spiders, which were used to feed the pitcher plants, and also regarded them as eight-eyed giants. It is a substitute for spiders, and I have also agreed with the shopkeeper that if they have an acromantia in their shop, please be sure to keep one for her.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ning's work is not slow.

White Queen: "Emil?"

Lin Ning: "I only need one of its teeth, don't worry, I will cast a forgetting spell on its owner."

After Lin Ning finished speaking, he quickly pulled out a fang from the right head of the rune snake. The White Queen had no objection to this, and the pitcher plant continued to do dog-planing on the air.

nice weather today.

Billywig worms are so delicious.

Barry Macmillan drove to Wigmore Street again on the second morning of his bewildered life.He stood downstairs in Apartment No. 12, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and couldn't help straightening his suit jacket before he raised his hand to ring the doorbell. At this time, there was a delicate barking sound from inside the door , Barry McMillan was taken aback for a moment, and then somehow heaved a sigh of relief, and then rang the doorbell.

Soon, footsteps came from the door.

Barry McMillan couldn't help recalling the appearance of the postman yesterday, and then the door opened, and he met a handsome face that didn't have half the resemblance to that postman.

Barry Macmillan: "Mr Lolo Lockhart?"

"No."

Before Barry Macmillan could breathe a sigh of relief, he was added: "It's Lockhart, Mr. Macmillan."

Barry Macmillan: "...how did you know my last name is Macmillan?"

Lin Ning who came to open the door asked back, "Isn't it?"

Barry Macmillan said "uh" and said, "Yes."

Lin Ning smiled slightly: "Please come in."

This is completely different from what Barry McMillan thought. He thought gr Lockhart was the postman who came to deliver the letter.Of course, this is just his own imagination. Apart from this, the handsome young man in front of him is not likely to coincide with the image of the author of "The Adventures of Greenwood" that Barry McMillan first imagined.However, this idea completely disappeared after Barry McMillan chatted with Lin Ning for less than 10 minutes. Barry McMillan could no longer be sure that the blond young man in front of him was the gr Harlow he was looking for. special.

And this idea also made Barry McMillan temporarily forget that the letter disappeared for no reason, and focused on talking with Lin Ning about "The Adventures of Greenwood", and showed the greatest sincerity of their publishing house.

Lin Ning put the bone china cup aside, his eyes were full of pleasant azure blue: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Macmillan, I only submitted the first draft of "The Adventures of Greenwood" to your publishing house. society."

Barry McMillan rubbed his hands excitedly: "Thank you for your importance to our publishing house."

Lin Ning glanced at him: "I mean, I have had a deep understanding of your publishing house before submitting the manuscript, so you can talk about your wishes straight to the point."

Barry Macmillan: "…"

It turned out that he was being self-indulgent.

But Barry McMillan is just an editor, and the contract still has to be done by Rosa Collins, the marketing manager, with a lawyer present, and they're not going to sign the contract anytime soon , There are many aspects involved, but Barry McMillan is in charge of one piece, "May I ask, is Mr. Lockhart planning to write "The Adventures of Greenwood" as a series of stories?"

"Well, I'm going to write about vampires in the next story." "Greenwood Adventures" is already mixed with magical elements, and adding vampires is not unexpected. What's more, Lin Ning met a vampire in Australia before. Fellow wizards.According to the "tips" of the two black wizards named Bagman and Krivat, Lin Ning found the vampire hiding in the nearby forest, and the vampire was called Marilyn.

Lin Ning learned a lot about vampires from her. As she mentioned earlier, vampires in the magic world are no different from ordinary magical creatures. They are not even as powerful as centaurs or mermaids.Having said that, mermaids are also worth writing about. The same mermaids in the magical world are very different from the mermaids imagined by the general public.

And werewolves.

Oh, and the Loch Ness Monster.

If you think about it again, there are actually many species worth writing about.Also, Lin Ning intends to exchange information, just like in the stories she published in the Muggle world, she wrote about species in the magic world, so that Muggles can see what a real vampire would look like from the book; and In the stories published in the wizarding world, let the wizards who sit in the sky see the imagination of the Muggles. You must know that in the Muggle world, inspired by Bram Stoker's "Dracula the Vampire" at the end of the nineteenth century In recent years, in the eyes of Muggles, vampires have gradually developed from humanoid vampires with green faces and fangs to people who generally think that vampires are handsome and have abilities that ordinary humans do not have. At the same time, they are also compatible with many species, such as humans, and vampires themselves. , and have derived epic love stories with werewolves, etc., but for most wizards, vampires are just magical animals.

The same goes for werewolves, which were stamped by the Ministry of Magic.

The more Lin Ning thought about it, the more he felt that there were a lot of stories to write, and just as Barry McMillan was about to say something, he inadvertently saw him obliquely above him, on the corridor used to read books outside the book wall. Little brunette girl in a white dress.

Speaking of which, Lin Ning's apartment in the Muggle world was specially decorated.The book walls on two and a half walls are also decorated with light-colored wooden floors and solid wood-colored ceilings, and a large patterned carpet is placed on the floor, which effectively reduces the top-heavy feeling brought by the all-light-colored floor.The light-colored floor will have a sense of visual stretch, making people feel that the room is larger than the original one. The camel-colored walls and dark-colored bookshelves can highlight the thickness of the bookshelves.

Although the main color is cool, both the carpet and the curtains are actually decorated with warm colors. This is the second floor, and the natural light from outside can pour in. It's just that the sun is not out in London today, but the sky is not so cloudy. It can be said that in the apartment, you can only feel comfortable, and it will not bring a sense of darkness.But the premise of all this is that Barry McMillan's three views did not suffer a "knowledge blow" yesterday, so that when he suddenly saw the White Queen who seemed to be exuding pearly light, his whole body was shocked. Oh no.

Barry Macmillan: "!"

"Mr Macmillan?"

Barry McMillan is struggling to get his voice back.

The White Queen looked at him directly, and said in a calm voice, "Is the emir a guest?"

Lin Ning suddenly realized, as if he just knew that the White Queen was coming, he stood up from the sofa facing Barry McMillan, turned to look at the White Queen: "Well, it's the editor of Bloombury Publishing House. Barry Macmillan. Mr. Macmillan, this is my sister, .q—Mr. Macmillan?"

Barry McMillan wakes up like a dream: "Hello, what do you think of the weather today?"

Barry MacMillan: "... sorry for the faux pas."

Somehow the culprit, Ning, waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

The White Queen: "Yes."

Barry McMillan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and later thought that their names were really similar, one was gr, the other was .q, no wonder they were brother and sister.

about this? gr is actually the abbreviation of gilded and ry, which were separated by gildery. The former means gilded, while ry means "king" in old French. Together, it is actually a gilded king. To the original In fact, it is a suitable name, and gilded also means whitewashing. The whitewashed king can actually refer to Lin Ning, who is now a woman-turned-boy, and also matches the "queen" of the White Queen.

It’s even easier for Lin Ning to call the White Queen “q” in front of Barry McMillan. She can’t be so big in front of Barry McMillan, an Englishman whose catchphrase is “God Save the Queen”. The white queen is called the hitqueen.

In any case, Barry McMillan made a false alarm. Fortunately, the owner did not blame him for his gaffe, and at the same time, it did not delay the next signing. Barry McMillan breathed a sigh of relief again.In addition, Lin Ning's attitude was very modest from the beginning to the end, which made Barry McMillan subconsciously label Lin Ning as humble, polite and easy to get along with when he got up to leave. When Lin Ning sent him out, he Unknowingly, he told about the mailbox, and sincerely apologized for his reckless behavior yesterday.

Lin Ning said in a casual and ordinary tone: "Oh, that's magic."

Barry McMillan suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are a magician, no wonder." He understood Lin Ning's magic as magic, but it is not impossible. explained.

Lin Ning just smiled and said nothing.

Mr. McMillan left with the answer to let him settle down. Later, Lin Ning also met with people from Bloomberry Publishing House. wrangling.It's true that Lin Ning also has a lawyer, but during the wrangling, Lin Ning also went into battle in person, and he behaved very professionally, which made the lawyers of Bloomberry Publishing House speechless.Afterwards, Rosa Collins, the manager of the marketing department, casually mentioned this to Barry McMillan, and he suddenly thought: 'Could it be that Mr. Lockhart is from a law school?It is no wonder that his writing is very rigorous. '

"People are more willing to believe what they think," Lin Ning said to the White Queen afterwards, "and they are more willing to label the unknown as what they know."

White Queen: "Then will you tell him the truth in the future?"

Lin Ning said rascally: "I didn't hide it from him from the beginning."

The White Queen didn't care about it, she just mentioned it and skipped it, and then took out a bottle, which contained a live and alive Billywig: "I have prepared the rope."

She meant that she was ready to release Lin Ning.

Lin Ning: "..."

When Barry McMillan came to visit before, there was only a little pitcher plant that blew, and at this time it slipped over from the outside courtyard. They have now returned to Cornwall from London.The pitcher plant looked longingly at the billywig, and the focused eyes made the billywig in the bottle flap its wings faster.

The White Queen was unmoved.

She continued to look at Lin Ning, and said seriously: "I have enough strength now."

Lin Ning: "...Okay."

Lin Ning was not reluctant either. She originally said that she would try to be stung by the Billywig bug, but she was a little embarrassed to be treated as a balloon.But "it's hard to chase after a man's words", so she bit the bullet and went in, not to mention, after being stung by the Billywig bug, Lin Ning felt erratic, feeling like lying on the ground. On the clouds, it also feels like drinking a euphoria potion. This potion will give the user a sense of happiness, and it is also a bit like a tranquilizer, which can calm down the excited nerves.

Before he knew it, Lin Ning closed his eyes.

"Snapped."

Lin Ning didn't even open his eyes: "Nepenthes, did I tell you that I ordered acromantula at Knockturn Alley?"

Then Lin Ning felt the pitcher plant rubbing her cheeks, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she opened her eyes refreshed.She was already lying on the sofa at the moment, turning her head to look at the White Queen beside her: "How long has it been?"

White Queen: "Less than an hour."

Lin Ning was a little surprised: "So short?"

White Queen: "Enough Emil you bought on the black market in Australia was delivered."

Lin Ning touched her nose. Didn't she buy a rune snake egg on the black market in the magic world in Australia? But it was all for research, so she said calmly: "Speaking of which, I have never had any eggs. I have experience in hatching snake eggs, and I don’t know if I can successfully hatch it.”

Nepenthes: "Wow!"

Lin Ning: "...Do you know how much acromantula it is worth? You just say that I will definitely not be able to hatch it."

The pitcher plant was stunned for a moment, and then looked deeply at the rune snake egg.
