Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 121 Questions
As Dawning continues to expand, more and more manpower is available.
Unlike before, if you want to do something, you can only mobilize two or three big cats and kittens like them.
However, each of them has their own urgent things to do, which results in many things being postponed indefinitely.
It was also in the past year, with the graduation of Saini, that they secretly developed some truly usable manpower.
It has to be said that adult wizards who have been struggling in society for many years may not be as talented or knowledgeable as students who come out of Hogwarts.
But their abilities and life experiences are miles ahead of students like Seni.
After being in society for so many years, they more or less have some special abilities in their hands.
For example, investigating the goblin thing.
With Saini alone, he had to develop manpower and take care of the communications store that was still developing at the time.
No matter how little you have, you don’t have the energy to track down those magical fairies in every detail.
Fortunately, many of the people recruited are people with thorough knowledge.
Seni knew very early on that what they were going to do at Dawn was a business that would cost them their heads.
So when he first recruited people, he didn’t target serious wizards with a low net worth.
He grew up among saints, although he did not know the true identity of his family’s elders.
But after years of exposure, I have put a lot of thought into it.
He knew very well where to look for useful people.
Of course, he was not stupid and did not recruit people openly and openly under the banner of reform.
At the beginning, he went to the black market and hired some available people.
There is no need for them to do anything, as long as they can do something for him that consumes time and energy, that is enough.
To say where there are the most people, it is undoubtedly the tavern in the black market.
Places like taverns have always been a good place to gather information and hire people.
Great talent may be hard to find, but you can definitely find some talented people who can do anything.
In addition, Grete gave him full autonomy, and all the funds under the Communications Store could be used by him as long as he needed it.
With the generous reward, he can naturally recruit a group of emergency manpower.
Besides, in the magic world, there are magic contracts to bind him, so there is no fear that they will not do anything after receiving the money, or even further betray him.
Also, even if you want to betray him, you have to find him.
As long as he is not a formal member of the organization, it is impossible to know what he looks like.
For their safety, Grete had long ago created a special camouflage spell, clothing color, sound, and all the things that might reveal their true identity. Once the spell was cast, there was no need to worry about it.
The Leaky Cauldron is where serious wizards exchange information.
Those lowlifes and dark wizards hiding in the shadows also have their own places to go.
When many people have bounties on their backs, it is impossible for them to show up in the official business premises of the magic world.
It seems that the organizers of the black market are bold. If others do these illegal transactions, they will definitely be afraid of being noticed.
However, the British black market went in the opposite direction, and he played a trick with the Ministry of Magic.
They set up the black market at the back of Diagon Alley, the largest trading market in England.
Naturally, no one has thought that the black market where the Ministry of Magic has always been eager to make a fortune is located in the Upside Down Alley adjacent to Diagon Alley.
That’s not right either.
In fact, Upside Down Alley can only be regarded as the only way to enter the black market.
On the surface, the shops in Upside Down Alley are just wandering in the gray area of the magical world, making some hot money.
Do some illegal business dealing in stolen goods and buying and selling black magic items.
But no one has ever thought that the deepest part of Upside Down Alley actually hides a black market that requires the same method of entering Diagon Alley and requires stealth to enter.
Seni only learned the secrets here from his grandfather, the former chief of staff of the Saints and the former top minister of the Ministry of Intelligence, Vladimir Dilgo.
Saini did hire the talent he desperately needed.
These people were later admitted into the Intelligence Department by him and became his right-hand man.
People in the black market do shady business, drugging, killing, setting fires, and everything else.
All they asked for was a little gold galleons.
At the dawn of that time, everything was lacking, but the only thing that was not lacking was the huge amount of income that was coming like a tidal wave.
Saini’s generosity made him the most sought-after figure in the black market.
Many people are willing to work hard for him.
However, Saini did keep one thing in mind. When recruiting people, he should try to recruit people with good fortune and bottom line.
In this way, there will be fewer cases of hawks looking at wolves and wolves taking advantage of others.
Seni thought so too. He was cautious by nature, not to mention that he had been warned by the most respected leader.
Therefore, when he recruited people, he not only looked at their ability, but also secretly purchased information about a batch of black market manpower from the tavern owner. After a long selection process, he found some people who could be reluctantly trusted.
As for the rest, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, but he did not spare those who were capable.
In order to avoid being slaughtered as a fat sheep, he chose to do business with the owner of the tavern.
He took out the gold galleons and listed a batch of intelligence tasks.
The goblins of Gringotts were just targeted by this group of people.
In the entire magical world, which wizard is the most discriminatory against these alien species?
Of course, the first to bear the brunt are the Death Eaters under Voldemort. After all, they even look down on wizards of the same kind, and only purebloods can reluctantly become their companions.
Secondly, there are these desperadoes who want money rather than their lives. They have been wandering on the edge of darkness for many years. They don’t even care about everyone except themselves.
If Voldemort hadn’t returned at that time, they would never have pounced on him and become one of the Death Eaters.
After all, in the eyes of this group of people, Voldemort was not a demon king who harmed the world.
Compared to the Demon King, Voldemort is more like their savior.
If Voldemort is still alive, the Death Eaters are the best destination for this group of people.
Who wants to live in a dark, smelly ditch when you can walk outside openly?
They are just dark wizards or outlaws, not dirty bugs.
These ‘capable people’ are indeed the kind of people who can live enthusiastically while being pursued by the Ministry of Magic.
Even the elusive goblin still exposed many clues under their tracking.
While hiring desperadoes, Seni was inspecting potential members who could be used.
After comparing the intelligence from both sides, it was discovered that these goblins were indeed playing a lot of tricks behind their backs.
The alien race in the entire magical world. Whether it was the orcs in Northern Europe, the vampires in the southern forests, or the brainless trolls, they had almost contacted them all.
Based on the information collected, Seni speculated that the goblin contacting them might not have happened only in the past ten or twenty years.
Only a few, such as centaurs or elves, races that are closer to nature, have not entered into cooperative relationships with them.
The most surprising thing is that after Voldemort returned from resurrection, Seni’s intelligence department also discovered that they had come to collude with Death Eaters more than once.
That kind of familiar attitude makes people wonder if they were behind the scenes when Voldemort was wreaking havoc on the wizarding world.
Who keeps their hearts of dead wizards alive, so whether it is Gretel or Seni, they are never afraid to speculate on these goblins who have rebelled repeatedly with the greatest malice.
From ancient times to the present, nothing is simple when it comes to war.
Yes, from the moment Gretel decided to take action against the goblins, Zhengshuang raised the matter to the level of war.
The troops and horses have not moved yet, and the food and grass go first, but before that, there is the most important step, which is the collection of intelligence.
Gretel never fights an unprepared battle. This is the wisdom learned from the experiences of the sages.
In fact, when the goblins contacted these aliens or Death Eaters, they didn’t reveal too many tricks.
But who makes their partners not so smart and clever.
Dealing with goblins is not an easy matter.
When the wizards were not as lonely as they are now, they could not defeat the goblins, let alone now.
You know, at that time it was still an all-out war between wizards and goblins.
At that time, no matter the black wizard or the white wizard, only when everyone worked together could they win those wars.
This is how the wizards recorded it in history. They beat the Fairy Kingdom to pieces and completely destroyed the Fairy Kingdom that lasted for who knows how many years.
But obviously, neither the goblin nor Gretel think so.
Grete even felt that the goblins might not have lost much vitality.
After all, wizards who always like to boast in historical records how many contributions they have made do not record the number of goblins they have killed.
From here we can see the scheming level of the goblins. The goblin king at that time was definitely a great talent.
Showing weakness to the enemy, they broke the entire fairy kingdom into pieces and completely eliminated the wizards’ fear of them.
But behind the scenes, the goblins can still recuperate.
Even as time passed, he also mastered the most important financial system for the entire magical world.
All this stems from the goblin showing weakness to the wizard.
As a victor, how can you worry about the defeat of your former subordinates?
Speaking of which, who in the wizarding world needs a financial system.
Only wizards.
Other intelligent races still follow the ancient rules of bartering.
The same applies to the entire human race.
Only human beings need an institutionalized financial system, which can well help them promote collisions between different cultures through economic exchanges.
Wizards have experienced Muggles strangulating them, but what about goblins.
These humanoid intelligent races have never merged with humans.
At that time, they had been staying away from human society and developing in a low profile.
Therefore, their civilization has never been cut off. At least, in all the historical records that Grete has read, there is no similar record.
From this, Grete speculated that the goblins were definitely not afraid of death, nor were they incapable of resistance.
On the contrary, they are definitely capable of giving the wizards a try.
If nothing else, just looking at these goblins now, they all know how to unite with other non-human races.
How could the ancestors who started the war with the wizards not have these back-ups?
Not everyone understands the principle of dying lips and cold teeth.
Wizards can wipe out one race today and another tomorrow.
Goblins understand this truth, and they will naturally use this reason to persuade others.
The entire group of wizards may be able to crush a single race, but facing the union of all non-human races, they will never reap the benefits.
It is very possible that the wise men of the goblin race at that time had discovered that the wizards’ abilities were getting weaker year by year.
Lowering your head will not only reduce casualties, but also eliminate the sense of threat left by the goblin in the wizard’s heart.
Isn’t this a matter of great benefit and no harm?
Long-lived people can always survive slowly. When the wizards disappear from the crowd, they stand up again and take the entire magical world into their pockets. Isn’t it a victory?
From Gretel’s perspective, the entire magical world seemed shrouded in a thick mystery.
Let’s not talk about modern times. After all, the Muggle world has completely surpassed the magical world.
Just talking about Jingu, and even more distant ancient times, are Muggles really capable of persecuting wizards?
There is no need to mention the Imperius Curse, which is a perfect curse to control people. Let’s just talk about small methods such as the Oblivion Curse, the Mass Oblivion Curse, the Disillusionment Curse, and the Muggle Expelling Curse.
You can take advantage of the entire Muggle community at will, so why are there so many persecution incidents against wizards?
Also, Muggles can pass down thousands of years of history by word of mouth.
How could wizards, who have always been at the forefront of the world and mastered the most advanced means, cause a gap in the history of the magical world?
Magic particles, what he observed, were most likely related to wizards’ spellcasting abilities, but why had they never been seen in historical records.
Also, how did the relationship between Muggles and wizards get to where it is now.
Sneaking into the church and tampering with the doctrine, isn’t it something that a wizard can do at will?
Also, the more she comes into contact with magic particles, the more Gretel discovers the convenience of casting spells with will.
Do things like spells, gestures, and magical configurations really need to exist?
Those goblins, house elves, vampires, and werewolves didn’t see any of these unnecessary operations when they cast spells.
…
Grete just felt like a circle on paper. The more things he learned, the more secrets he felt were everywhere.
What made him feel most hopeless was that as he slowly reached the peak of being a wizard, he found that he could only answer these questions one by one by himself.
Because now no one can explain his doubts to him.
As he grew stronger, he felt that there were problems and mysteries everywhere.
For example, now, he had to think about how to give the goblins a heavy blow within the rules without causing them to start a war with the wizards.
