Lucius didn't find it strange that Terrence would avoid Han Lidong to send out such an invitation.Thinking about it differently, Terrence was probably worried that such words would embarrass Han Lidong who is a Muggle.

However, Terrence's half-sentence explanation made Lucius even more concerned: "Isn't Han Lidong in England now?"

"Yes." Terrence nodded, "I talked to him on the phone last night, and he said he arrived in Paris yesterday evening. Didn't he tell you?"

Lucius shook his head naturally.

There was a strange look in Terrence's eyes, but it quickly became relaxed: "Maybe he has his own arrangements, so he didn't tell you."

"It's not necessary for him to report the itinerary to me." Lucius raised his chin slightly and decided to skip this topic.The phone call between Terrence and Han Lidong was probably to confirm that the other party was not in the UK.So obviously the relationship between the two is not close.Well, if he continues to ask, it may be futile, and it will break the current communication atmosphere between the two, "For wizards, Squibs seem to be no different from Muggles. Why do you pay attention to them?"

"Of course there is no difference." Terrence was naturally very happy to see Lucius showing concern.Originally, he brought Lucius out for one night in order to have enough time to introduce Lucius to the wizarding world, and the purpose was naturally to attract Lucius to join, "The most basic point is that I have mentioned before that Yes, compared to Muggles and Squibs, the offspring will have a high probability of appearing magical wizards. And this is very important to the current wizarding world."

"Is there a small population in the wizarding world?" If Lucius' memory is correct, although the number of wizards is small, there shouldn't be any survival crisis.

"Yes, the total number of wizards in our entire Europe is only [-]. This is still counting the number of squibs." Speaking of this number, Terrence also showed embarrassment, "compared to the grand scene described in the novel , our population is too far apart."

Lucius opened his lips slightly, but in the end he couldn't utter a single syllable.

"This is also a very embarrassing thing for us to say. In fact, before the Second World War, we had a very large number of wizards. But at that time, we were involved in the Their national war. The relationship between wizards in different countries is not even as good as our relationship with Muggles in our own country. However, it was not until Mr. Dumbledore stood up and made everyone pay attention to the issue of population that we discovered that the relationship between wizards The number has dropped sharply to a precarious level." Terrence said in a leisurely tone, "But fortunately, Mr. Dumbledore exists. We formed a new International Federation of Wizards and became independent from the Muggle world. Population It’s back to where it is now.”

Originally, Lucius was still shocked and heavy by the data he heard.But when he heard Dumbledore's name and Terrence's adoring tone when talking about Dumbledore, his emotions were suddenly dominated by deep speechlessness.

"So you wrote him into the novel and became, uh, the spiritual leader of the wizarding world?" The name of Dumbledore instantly made Lucius feel like he was back in the past.It seems that when he was sick, the two old guys Dumbledore and Greenwald were still alive and well?

If the old saying "disaster exists for thousands of years", it can be deduced in reverse.Lucius really seemed to sigh.

"Of course, Mr. Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in at least two centuries." Terrence didn't hesitate to ask Lucius, "His name is worth remembering by everyone."

"I'm curious, what would the different life you said be like?" Lucius decided to stop the possible brief history of Dumbledore's personal history, and let the conversation return to its own agenda, "Squibs shouldn't be very productive for the daily production of wizards, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Terrence showed a happy smile, only feeling that Lucius had been persuaded by himself, "Although we are separated from Muggles, there is still no way to completely separate from the Muggle world. In the form of a joint stock company in the Muggle world, we participate in the business activities of the Muggle world, and use this to earn the basic materials in the life of wizards. Most wizards are now engaged in the production of some products that can only rely on magic Compared with Muggles, Squibs can see and use most wizarding products and understand the world. Most of them will become middle and high-level managers in wizarding groups against Muggles Among them, their role is to maintain the basic supply of the wizarding world. Moreover, Squibs have a right that is envied by more than half of the wizards. They will give priority to having at least one house elf as an assistant in life."

Terrence's expression is very concise, allowing Lucius to understand the existence mode that appears in the wizarding world.Compared with the situation where they used to be governed separately according to the Ministry of Magic of each country, the current wizard population is too small.Therefore, the final result should be centered on the International Federation of Wizards, and the operators of the various cannabis economic groups are the main dignitaries, operating the world.Centralization is indeed the most effective way to gather forces to move forward.

But Lucius doesn't have any interest in making money for other people, although the house-elf placement does sound like a nice perk.However, in his current life, the role that the latter can play is already dispensable.

"If you want, the work I can arrange for you will not separate you from Han." Seeing that Lucius was in a silent state of thinking, Terrence threw out more temptations while chasing after the victory, " I will help you complete the identity verification work first. Then I can allocate your benefits to you in place. If you like China, this will not be a hindrance. At present, our group is developing the Chinese branch of the group. Due to the urgent shortage of Chinese-speaking personnel, the level of treatment offered there is very high. And your joining will undoubtedly be the backbone we most urgently need."

Chinese branch, Cray in China.

"I'm wondering if the top leader of the China branch group you mentioned is..." Lucius suddenly realized that perhaps because of a coincidence, his life would eventually return to the circle centered on these two names.Neither Han Lidong nor Clarence seemed to be the one who came to him by himself.

"Yes, it's the Clay I mentioned before, my youngest brother, Clarence." Terrence nodded with a smile on his face, apparently having a very good relationship with the person mentioned, "I am because He has to inherit the duke title, so it is inconvenient to leave the UK. Another younger brother, Theodore, works for the International Federation of Wizards. So most of our family's foreign businesses are managed by Clay."

Once again, the family member's information matched the details Lucius remembered.This could not help further deepening Lucius' cautiousness and doubts.In the parallel world, different people obviously have a certain degree of inevitable development trajectory.But they will show differences in some details.If there are indeed parallel worlds, will there be a possibility of jumping between different worlds at a certain node?

"Is he a wizard too?" Lucius asked proactively.

"Of course, the vast majority of our direct members of the Lambert family are wizards. But we are not a pure-blood family. Just because the blood of the Lambert family has been passed down for a long time, even the descendants of our combination with Muggles are often They're all wizards." Terrence couldn't help puffing out his chest slightly, obviously very proud of his surname.

"It sounds like the concept of family doesn't only exist in novels." Lucius was very familiar with Terrence's sense of pride.And when the topic shifted to the family, Lucius also had his own concerns, "So, do the pure-blood families in the novel actually exist?"

"They all exist!" Terrence's first sentence almost broke Lucius' calmness, but his subsequent description seemed to pour a basin of ice water on Lucius, "The creation and release of that novel, Behind it is the support of the International Federation of Wizards. Almost all the pure-blood families mentioned in it are named according to the history of our wizards. Unfortunately, these families were all made during World War II. made a huge sacrifice. In order not to let future generations forget their past existence, that's why..."

Lucius was silent.And although Terrence didn't quite understand the reason for Lucius' silence, he still felt the slightly sentimental emotion of the other party, and thoughtfully gave him a quiet space.

Taking a breath, Lucius tried to drive away the negative emotions in his heart, and smiled at Terrence again: "Thank you for your introduction, I think I know a lot of useful information that can help me make full consideration."

Terrence nodded quickly, expressing his understanding of Lucius' need for consideration time, and showed a gentle smile with a very personal mark: "Before you leave England, I will ask Yvette to prepare more detailed information for you. information and our contact information. Waiting for your news at any time, whether they are related to my invitation or not."

"By the way, I'm taking the liberty to ask a question." Before Lucius was about to leave, he still planned to ask Terrence, who might know, "Do you know what Han Lidong is doing in Paris?"

"Oh, of course." Terrence was stunned for a moment, and quickly answered, "It's about the endorsement plan I reached with you. Han had already arranged a candidate for me. So because of the change of our wishes, He needs to make new arrangements for the same person."

"A person who needs to be arranged by him in person is probably not an ordinary person. It sounds like my presence seems to have caused a lot of trouble for Han Lidong." Lucius felt a strange displeasure in his heart, but he did not express it come out.Instead, he mocked himself lightly.

Terrence made a serious recollection action, and then inadvertently said a name that made Lucius's heart tremble again: "It seems to be Han's former friend, his name should be Karl, and he is a model."

The author has something to say: Karl appeared~

This is almost the last main character to appear in this article.

The conflict between Karl and Han Lidong was mentioned in a chapter of the previous article, but I don’t know it and it doesn’t affect the reading.

But if you are interested, you can poke ↓ (this chapter is a public chapter, don't worry~)

Unfortunately, Yuanyuan suffered from acute gastroenteritis today, and was still rolling around in bed in the afternoon~
