Chapter 449: Unwilling to Be in the Dark

Old Ronaldo is worthy of being a fishy old fritter. After breaking up with Anton to clarify the relationship with the Ministry of Magic, he announced that he was off work and made an appointment for the official Auror training on the weekend of the next week.

After watching the 'master' leave, Anton pondered for a long time.

He faintly felt the unfinished meaning in old Ronaldo's words, some words that were not so suitable to say.

Old Ronaldo probably belonged to the same faction as Minister Fudge, and he also faintly revealed the pain point of Fudge not having much real power.

The source of this pain point is probably due to the long-term infiltration of the Ministry of Magic by the pure-blood family and the plunder of his rights by the powerful Dumbledore.

He was almost whittled down to a bare commander.

You know, the Auror Office was the first department that the Minister of Magic considered setting up when the Ministry of Magic was created.

It was supposed to be the most powerful arm of the Minister for Magic.

"Fudge..."

Anton smacked his lips and felt that going to Fudge's faction was not a bad choice.

At least among the three major forces of 'Voldemort and the Death Eaters', 'Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix' and 'Grindelwald and the Saints', there is one with a big head in front.

I believe that Fudge wants this minister to be nourished, and he wants to help himself block a lot of messy things.

It's like now, Grindelwald doesn't know what he's doing, but he also helps himself keep the ups and downs of the outside world outside the walls of Hogwarts Castle.

Anton chuckled lightly, and walked leisurely towards the hut.

He doesn't mind being used by others, everyone gets what they need, as long as it doesn't harm his own interests, and doesn't interfere with his favorite magic research.

But at this moment, an owl flew over.

The owl is larger than normal, with two white hairs protruding upwards from the corners of the eyes, with sharp eyes and a strong body.

It flapped its wings and landed on the railing of the viaduct, stretched out a claw, and held a transparent crystal ball inside.

Anton blinked curiously, "For me?"

Owl nodded.

Anton quickly pulled out the Elder Wand and cast several detection spells on the crystal ball to confirm that there was no curse or other offensive magic attached to it, and then took it from the owl's claw.

Holding it in his hand, there was some flocculent white light inside the crystal ball, which slowly condensed into a Chinese word—'zhi'.

(See Chapter 400 for details on the source of wisdom)

"Rookwood?" Anton was surprised.

This is a prison friend of Azkaban, a spy who was previously developed by Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, a mute.

Anton transformed him into a great pyrenes with antlers, and miraculously experimented with a pair of thestral bat wings.

"I thought Rookwood had run away!"

Anton looked at the crystal ball in his hand and clicked his tongue.

After he was released from prison, he asked Lupine to check his Gringotts vault. There was no information in it, and the Galleon was not taken away.

I thought this guy didn't even dare to ask for money, so he simply ran away, but he didn't expect to send a message to himself?

The way the crystal ball transmits information is not a difficult technical task. Compared with the letter paper, it is just a different carrier of the content, and there is an extra magic spell to identify it.

Moreover, this thing is very expensive to make and cannot be reused.

That set of magic recognition spells has been integrated with the content, and has the ability to destroy the crystal ball.

Anton clenched the crystal ball tightly, feeling the information conveyed inside, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Lucius gave him half of his property to start a newspaper in France? It's really worth it."

Rookwood's subjective initiative is extremely strong, and he spread the situation in a short time, and inquired about the first information-there are many different organizations on the market that are collecting a large number of certain potion materials.

And these potion ingredients all come from the formulas in Anton's book "Muggles, Werewolves and Pure Blood".

It is said that mandrake is a very rare herb in the market, and two wizards fought to buy a rare one. In the end, one of them pulled out the mandrake from the pot, and both of them died together.

In the letter, Rookwood expressed his loyalty and informed Anton of his current safe house location, and finally attached the information that Anton had promised to get from the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic.

The content of the experiment data of the ancient wizard Phoenix.

This is a top wizard boss who also studies transfiguration. It is speculated that he may be the creator of 'Vampire', 'Scarecrow' and 'Fantastic Beast'.

After reading all the information, the crystal ball broke, turning into transparent sand and flowing down from the gap between the fingers.

Suddenly, a palm-sized notepad emerged from the sand.

Anton opened it and found that words and patterns began to appear on the blank page of the notepad, and then, like a mobile phone turning pages automatically, the ink disappeared and new content appeared.

"Hey, this magic is interesting!"

Anton brought the owl to the hut, and fed it some of the 'nourishing body decoction' that Fat Ball liked to eat, mixed with flour, fruit pulp, earthworms and small balls of nuts.

Seeing the owl gobbling it up, he smiled slightly, took out a piece of letter paper, and dipped the ink with a quill pen.

"Congratulations on your new life, please enjoy it."

He considered his language for a while, "I won't interfere too much with you, help me gather some information so that I won't become deaf, if I can collect some interesting folk remedies, that would be a surprise."

Anton always remembered an extremely magical magic that Lockhart taught him.

This folk recipe allows him to 'hear the shape of the world'. All he needs is a little juice from mandrake leaves, his own saliva and the soil on the ground, and then apply it on his ears after mixing.

(See Chapter 169 for details)

Anton personally tested this folk remedy to be effective, and even in the battle with Tom Riddle, he successfully avoided looking directly at the basilisk.

(See Chapter 178 for details)

There are a lot of unsystematic folk remedies and spells like this in the folk, and some even play an extremely powerful role.

"..."

Anton suddenly didn't know what to explain.

In essence, he is a researcher who likes magic, and he doesn't have too much ambition for many things. The establishment of the hut organization is just a yearning for the beautiful relationship with friends in his heart.

He scratched his head, and finally added, "You can figure out the rest."

Well, that's it, there is nothing to explain.

Fold the letter paper and put it in an envelope.

The owl has a unique magical effect when carrying a letter. It does not squeeze the letter tightly, but just grasps it lightly. Whether it is traveling across the ocean or over the mountains, the letter will not fall from its claws, which is particularly magical.

"Uh~uh~"

The owl hooted twice, looked at the unfinished meatballs in the basin with some reluctance, picked up another one, grabbed the letter in Anton's hand, and flew out with flapping wings.

Anton gazed into the distance, watching it fly over the wide black lake, reflecting a blurred figure together with the white clouds in the rippling water waves, feeling the gentle breeze of the coming summer, and suddenly felt that such a life was not bad.

Compared with his previous life, he seems to be busier in this life, but at least he is doing what he likes, and will not feel bored or tired because of it.

Have fun.

"It would be great if those old men didn't call back and forth."

Anton even imagined that if there were not so many messy things, he might choose to stay in school as a professor after graduation, teaching students, researching magic, and publishing a few books along the way.

"Huh?"

"Why do you need to add a few books?"

Anton keenly discovered that his mentality was slightly different from before, "It's because of..."

"Prove that you have been here?"

"Or is it that I am not willing to be lonely in my bones?"

"Prove that you are great?"

People's hearts are changeable, which also made him learn to constantly examine his own heart, "So after a certain level of magic research, I began to be a little unwilling to be unknown, eager to get the approval of others, and said that I am hanging?"

Anton pouted, "It's all Lockhart's fault for messing with my mind."

crunch~

Lockhart opened the door and came in. Hearing this sentence, his eyes widened in confusion.
