"Help? Is there anyone in the UK who is really willing to help you do this kind of thing?" Erwin's expression became a little playful, "Maybe only the remnants of the Dark Lord back then would have this idea."
"No need to test me." Farian shrugged, "Back then, our family was firmly on the side of justice and had never had any substantive contact with that person. Besides, the only one alive Death Eater now is that one.
Reese Black."
"Are you looking for him?" Erwin narrowed his eyes.
"How is it possible? This guy is the center of attention now. People from the Ministry of Magic are eager to dig deep to find him. Although no one is as familiar with Azkaban as him, but who can find him now?
Him? Even if I can really find him, I will definitely report it directly to the Ministry of Magic. Do you know how much his bounty is?"
"With your status, do you still value that Galleons?" Erwin asked.
"My father's money is my father's money, and what's mine is mine," Farian said.
"I understand, the unique 'motivational' method of rich children is to declare that they want to cut off their elders' property to prove their ability." Erwin said with a slight sarcasm in his tone.
"Cutting? Why cutting?" However, Farian looked very puzzled, "Except for me and Ollie, the old man has no other direct blood relatives. Who will the property be left to after his death?"
"oh?"
"My father has never been stingy with me, and usually lets Ollie and I talk. The real problem is that spending his money means telling him directly what we are doing, and you can't always tell your elders about everything.
Report them one by one?"
Erwin nodded slightly, which seemed to resonate a little with him.
"So, it's more comfortable to use my own money. I have the confidence to compete with that Sirius, but only if I can meet... Well, the topic is a bit far off topic. Where were we just talking about?"
"Help." Erwin reminded.
"It is not feasible to find the remnants of the Dark Lord, nor is it possible to use Galleons to get a Ministry of Magic official to help. After all, that is Azkaban. In fact, it is really difficult to find anyone in the entire UK who is willing to help in this matter.
Our wizard."
He paused.
"So you mean - not looking for the British?" Erwin asked.
Looking at issues from an international perspective suddenly broadens my thinking a lot.
"Yes, in fact there are many people who are interested in Azkaban. You can leave this to me. I should be able to contact a more powerful person..." Farian said.
"I'm afraid the people who are interested in that place are not good people, right? Do you, the Rosario family, have access to such channels?" Erwin asked calmly.
"How many high-level wizards can be considered absolutely good people?" Farian shrugged, "Both parties get what they need. As long as they abide by the spirit of the contract, they can cooperate."
Erwin was noncommittal.
"The specific preparations and planning arrangements can be left to me, you just need to wait." Farian said confidently.
"But I didn't say I would agree." Erwin said calmly.
Sneaking into Azkaban with the sole goal of hunting a few dementors is something only a lunatic would do.
"It's boring if you do this." Farian felt helpless.
"The main thing I have is a question." Erwin said.
"Please speak directly." Farian said he was all ears.
"You are so enthusiastic that I have to doubt your purpose. What do you want to do?"
Farian smiled, "To put it simply, it's just to satisfy my own curiosity. I really don't like a boring life."
"Are you interested in the secrets of Azkaban?"
"I'm mainly interested in the color of the Ministry of Magic's underwear." Farian raised his eyebrows.
"In other words, you think a certain pair of Ministry of Magic underwear is in Azkaban."
"Isn't it obvious?" Farian waved his hands.
This seems to be a reasonable reason. Does the guy in front of me have any ideas about the Ministry of Magic?
"Then I would like to express my intention to join this plan for the time being." Erwin said, paying great attention to his words.
Sneaking into Azkaban sounds extremely crazy, but it is not impossible.
Although the defense force of the wizard prison must be very strong, apart from the prisoners, most of them on the island should be dementors, and the number of human jailers is relatively small.
After all, according to the Ministry of Magic's public documents, the dementors were allowed to guard Azkaban and tacitly allowed them to use the prisoners as food. The essential purpose of this approach was to reduce the financial and manpower pressure of maintaining a regular prison.
If you only need to face a single type of enemy, the level of trouble will naturally be much lower.
This may also be the reason why Sirius Black was able to escape.
Even if the number of human wizards stationed in Azkaban increased because of a fugitive, Erwin had actually fought against the "regular army" of the Ministry of Magic, except for the dark-skinned Kingsley Shacklebolt.
, the pressure on him from other combat wizards was not great.
So based on the available information, the risk of this plan should be within his tolerance.
Then you can give it a try.
If that guess is not confirmed, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Anyway, now he is just expressing his intention to join. As long as he finds that the plan provided by Farian is unreasonable or something goes wrong, he can withdraw without mercy.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Farian stretched out his hand and shook Erwin's hand.
"Oli will definitely help us, but it will take time to find other helpers,"
"How long will it take?" Erwin asked.
"I can't say for sure. I can't write a job advertisement and put it out, right?" Farian said jokingly.
Erwin did not laugh. For such a high-risk operation, you must collect enough intelligence and make sufficient preparations. You need to make a detailed plan and wait for the opportunity.
These all require enough time.
Therefore, it should be impossible to carry out Professor Suouene's project before it starts. After all, there are less than four days left.
"We always have to determine a contact method to facilitate each other's notification." Farian looked at Erwin, and then sighed, "You must not be willing to establish a direct communication channel between us, right?"
Erwin nodded.
In addition to messengers such as owls, there are of course more convenient and direct means of communication between wizards, but they are not as popular as messengers because of the difficulty of casting spells or the high cost.
It is impossible to say that all human beings in ordinary society generally use mobile communication tools, but wizards can only communicate using primitive letters.
However, whether it is a messenger or other direct communication channel, once it is established, it means that your location will be completely exposed to the other party. Therefore, unless there is a relationship of absolute trust, this method will generally not be adopted.
British owls can accurately deliver letters to most ordinary wizards, because the British wizarding community has formed a stable society over hundreds of years. Ordinary wizards neither need to hide their location nor do most people have the ability to do so.
ability in this area.
For a talented wizard, it is not difficult to prevent the owl from finding itself.
Farian compromised the plan and proposed giving Erwin a sensor. When the sensor gets hot, it means there is something to discuss with him.
But Erwin still refused, on the grounds that even if he got the sensor, he wouldn't be able to carry it with him at all times.
Farian was helpless, and finally the two parties decided on the most primitive method of contact: oral message.
With Flourish and Blott Bookstore as the transfer station, the person who delivers the message is designated as the clerk, Miss Sally. In order not to scare the innocent Miss Sally, a code word must be used. Erwin needs to send the message to Flourish and Blott Bookstore every three days.
Check once to see if there are any new messages.
This kind of communication efficiency can be said to be extremely low, but it is basically the most secure.
"You guy, you act as if the whole world wants to harm you." Farian couldn't help but complain.
Erwin didn't respond.
"Don't your family look like natives of England?" he suddenly asked casually.
"My father was born in the Sicilian Peninsula in southern Italy." Farian did not hide anything. He seemed to want to make Erwin lower his guard with his candid attitude.
Erwin remained calm, it seemed that the Losario family's sphere of influence was not limited to the UK.
He stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something, "Gilderoy Lockhart, this guy should be mainly beholden to your family, right?"
"That's right." Farian nodded.
"I'm a little curious. Since you want to launch a writer-star, why should you choose Lockhart? He has big problems with his spellcasting ability, but he feels very good about himself. In just one year at Hogwarts, he came close to being gangstered several times.
, I think your family has always been arranging people to wipe his ass?"
"Indeed, it doesn't matter who takes Lockhart's place, but at least he can bring some benefits, and it can be regarded as hard work." Farian said lightly: "Of course, the reason why Lockhart is packaged
This is mainly because my father made a bet with a certain big shot."
"Bet?" Erwin was stunned, he really didn't expect this.
"It's hard to say the name of that big shot, but the content of the bet is about the stupidity of the world. My father said that the magic world has changed now. A person who doesn't know magic at all can thrive and become a successful person.
The master that other wizards look up to."
So the popular author, the most charming smile in history, and the legendary wizard Gilderoy Lockhart in the eyes of the world is just the product of a bet?
This world is becoming more and more interesting. "So your father won." Erwin came back to his senses and said.
"No." Farian shrugged, "The content of the bet is whether Lockhart can become the Minister of Magic."
Erwin was silent for a while, "So, I essentially helped your father with this bet?"
Without him, Gilderoy Lockhart might have made a fool of himself at Hogwarts, and whether he could survive the entire year safely was a question.
"It can be said that Lockhart secretly agreed to teach at Hogwarts, and my father was very angry about this." Farian said: "We spent a lot of money to make Professor Severus of Slytherin House
Snape promised to give Lockhart limited care and help, but other professors were not even willing to reply to us."
No wonder Snape was willing to help Lockhart share the teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts for senior students, so that he only had to fool the lower-class students. This was obviously not out of mercy.
