Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 124
“Five… five hundred Galleons?” Tonks was shocked by the price.
“What? You think it’s too expensive and not worth the price?”
“No, no, no, it’s worth it, it’s really worth it!” Tonks waved her hands to deny it, fearing that Ye Ting would misunderstand her meaning.
This was not her polite words, but she really thought so.
Just kidding, in her opinion, this kind of magic prop that can help Auror’s work is simply a priceless treasure.
This kind of capable assistant can not only track, fight, and monitor, facilitate the work of Auror, but may even save her life in high-risk work.
Such a magic prop, let alone 500 Galleons, even if it is 1,000 Galleons, she thinks it is worth the money.
What’s more, Tonks has never seen such a magic prop before. It is obviously an exclusive product that belongs only to Ye Ting, and exclusive products can generate a layer of premium.
But there is a problem.
Tonks said with a bitter face:”But… I don’t have that much money now.”
She looked at Ye Ting pitifully,”Otherwise, I will pay you in installments… give you ten Galleons a month… no, twenty Galleons! When I become a formal employee, I will give you another five to ten Galleons a month, how about it?”
“If you take this little money, it will be hard for me to do anything for you. Ah.”
Ye Ting shook his head vigorously. What he really wanted to say was:”You are just giving this little money to a beggar.”
“Then it’s thirty Galleons a month, and when I become a formal employee, it will increase to sixty Galleons a month!” Tonks continued to raise the price.
Ye Ting shook his head and refused seriously:”Wanyou Shop has always been a one-handed payment and then delivery. We don’t have such a rule here for installment payments.”
Tonks was unwilling and acted like a spoiled child:”Oh, just help me, I beg you, please……”
Seeing that Ye Ting was still unmoved, she quickly added:”Look, I’m going to be an official Auror in the future. If you sell things to me, I can help you promote your products among the Aurors.”
Ye Ting glanced at her and shook his head again:”I don’t need it. Even if you don’t promote exclusive products like mine, as long as I take them to the Aurors, they will definitely scramble for them.” Tonks heard this and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
She knew that Ye Ting was right. If such equipment was taken out, the Auror Office might not be willing to purchase it, but all Aurors who had requirements for them – including Scrimgeour himself – would be willing to buy it privately.
At this moment, Ye Ting changed the subject and interjected at the right time:”But, I do have something here that only you can do.”
“What’s the matter?”
Hearing this, Tonks immediately came forward like a puppy, looking at Ye Ting expectantly,”As long as you say it, I will agree to anything.”
Ye Ting smiled slightly and put forward his own conditions:”It’s very simple. In the future, if there is any intelligence inside the Ministry of Magic, you must tell me as soon as possible. As long as you agree to this condition, I will give you this set of equipment for free – and if I have any new products in the future, I will definitely find you first to try them.”
Until then, Ye Caiyu revealed his true purpose.
Intelligence is undoubtedly an indispensable thing in the hands of everyone who wants to make a career.
Without the guidance of intelligence, no matter how strong you are, you are just a reckless man.
Many times, if opponents of equal strength really fight head-on, the victory or defeat is often in a flash, and what affects the final result is often the subtle information gap.
Jiraiya died at the hands of Pain, and Nagato almost lost to Naruto; L died at the hands of Light Yagami, but later generations were able to kill Kamisama in the New World; as for Esdeath’s death at the hands of Akame, Superman lost to Batman, Dio died at the hands of Jotaro Kujo, and Captain Yamamoto died at the hands of Youhabach, they were all questions of whether the intelligence was sufficient. Dumbledore, as the strongest white wizard of the contemporary era, is well aware of this.
He has a team under his command. An elite intelligence team, even the former headmasters of Hogwarts are his little birds.
Each of these headmasters held a high position in his own time, so their portraits often appear in various important occasions.
They use their identities and status to easily obtain a lot of confidential information, and then pass it to Dumbledore quietly.
Dumbledore selects valuable clues from this information and conducts precise analysis and integration.
Of course, Dumbledore’s intelligence network is not limited to this. His Order of the Phoenix is also a major source of intelligence. The
Order of the Phoenix came into being during the First Wizarding War. Its members are spread across every corner of the wizarding world and come from different industries and backgrounds, including the senior Auror Kingsley.
They continuously provide Dumbledore with the latest developments in all walks of life. and confidential information.
So, what about Ye Ting?
Does he need intelligence?
The answer is obvious.
The saying”He who is not envied is a mediocre person” is also true in some cases.
Ye Ting knows very well that with his talent and strength, like an awl in his pocket, he will sooner or later get the attention of the Ministry of Magic. The
Ministry of Magic controls the entire British wizarding world, with complex internal relationships and a mixed bag of personnel, not all of whom are good people. No matter what big things Ye Ting wants to do in the future, he can’t get around the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, if he wants to go further on the road ahead, he must know the Ministry of Magic well.
What’s more, as a Muggle-born wizard, Ye Ting has always been an outlier in the eyes of some pure-blood wizards.
His background and achievements will naturally attract jealousy and hostility.
And in the process of collecting his collection, he will inevitably… Intersecting with dark forces like Voldemort, who holds many coveted collections, will undoubtedly make Ye Ting a thorn in the eyes of the Death Eaters.
Therefore, for Ye Ting, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.
Facing direct challenges, Ye Ting is never afraid.
However, he also knows that if those with ill intentions want to harm him, the methods are not limited to direct confrontation.
Ye Ting alone can think of countless good ways.
For example, young wizards are strictly prohibited from using magic outside of school.
This rule can be big or small, but if someone deliberately sets up a trap to lure Ye Ting to perform magic outside of school, and makes a fuss about it, or even attempts to expel him from school, it will be troublesome. Of course
, with Dumbledore’s protection, Ye Ting will not be expelled easily, but this kind of turmoil is enough to make him sick.
Therefore, Ye Ting is now starting to lay out, wanting to have more”own people” in the Ministry of Magic.
But even if it is not for potential danger, the Ministry of Magic is the best source of intelligence.
The Ministry of Magic is responsible for all matters of the wizarding world, so naturally all intelligence about the wizarding world will be concentrated in the Ministry of Magic.
“Do you want me to be a spy for you?” Tonks asked in shock.
“Don’t say that,”
Ye Ting shook his head gently, and gave an excuse,”I have a buddy who wants to be an Auror after graduation. So he came to ask me to help him explore the way and understand the industry situation.”
Are you this buddy yourself?
Tonks wanted to ask this, but she didn’t ask it out loud. Instead, she changed her attitude on the spot.
“I’m an Auror!”
Tonks’s face turned livid in an instant, and she glared at Ye Ting angrily,”Please be respectful and don’t insult my career choice!”
“If you don’t want to do it, forget it. If you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it for you.” Ye Ting was a very capable person. He saw through the other party’s little tricks on the spot and didn’t buy it at all.”I heard that Captain Robert is also planning to join the Ministry of Magic in the future. We have such a good relationship. He will definitely help me with this.”
As soon as these words came out, Tonks’ attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.
She quickly put on a smiling face and hugged Ye Ting’s shoulders affectionately, with a pair of soft flesh directly on Ye Ting’s shoulders.
The girl didn’t care about this, and said with a smile:”I will do it, of course I will…whatever I do is not a good thing, right? You are Penelope’s good friend, which means you are also my good friend. Chatting among friends, saying a few more words, and letting a few words slip is actually not a big deal, don’t you think?”
Hearing Tonks’ words, Ye Ting couldn’t help but sigh.
He secretly envied Dumbledore in his heart, a good reputation is indeed a trademark.
If it were Dumbledore, he wouldn’t have to pay any price at all, and there would be people vying to serve him, and even willing to be his free spy.
And what about himself? (To read the exciting novels, just go to Faloo Novel Network!) After working hard for a long time and paying so much, he barely developed a reliable target.
He took out a pocket with the [Space Extension Spell] cast on it, put the clockwork dog in it, and stuffed in five clockwork beetles, and then handed the bag, which had become the size of a wallet, to Tonks together with a mirror.
While delivering these items, Ye Ting did not forget to talk about the precautions:”These clockwork machines can understand English and Chinese, you can just give orders in these two languages.
In addition, this mirror is not only a picture receiver that can connect to every clockwork machine, but it is also a two-way mirror that can contact me directly.
In addition, don’t forget that these machines need to be charged.
When the light turns red, it means that they are running out of energy.
The way to charge is…
Hey, hey, hey, sexual harassment!
”
Asking for flowers
Just as Ye Ting was explaining the charging method in detail, Tonks suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, interrupting him.
Ye Ting was stunned for a moment, touched his wet cheek, and smiled helplessly.
He found that Tonks’ personality was really like a passionate and unrestrained big dog.
“Thank you, junior!” Tonks didn’t seem to think that her behavior was inappropriate. She continued happily,”By the way, as a bonus for your first day at work, I’ll give you some information.”
“What information?” Ye Ting asked curiously
“”That woman Rita Skeeter has set her sights on you,”
Tonks said mysteriously,”She has applied several times to interview you as a team reporter, but Scrimgeour has rejected her every application.”
“Rita?”
Ye Ting frowned.”Did she recently publish the book”Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot?” and was then accused of spreading rumors by Mr. Dippet?”
“Mr. Dippet is not popular at all now!”
Tonks smiled indifferently,”Who cares that he is the previous headmaster of Hogwarts? To be honest, many people think that he is riding on Rita’s popularity.”
Ye Ting was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Tonks looked gloating,”That woman found that writing about Dippet did not make money, and now she is interested in Quirrell’s death. And you are one of the important parties involved in this incident. She has said that she wants to have a deep exchange with you!”
Hearing this, Ye Ting’s eyebrows raised involuntarily.
He was secretly thinking about another thing in his heart: Wouldn’t it be great if he could develop Rita into his own gold medal spy?
He knew that Rita Skeeter was an illegal Animagus. She could get a lot of gossip that others couldn’t get, and she relied on this skill.
But this idea only flashed through his mind. The difficulty of this matter is not small, and it requires the right time.
……
……
As the Ministry of Magic’s investigation came to an end, the Daily Prophet, as one of the Ministry’s official mouthpieces, quickly revealed the whole story.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the wizarding world.
At this cusp, the role of influence is undoubtedly highlighted.
The front-page headlines of major newspapers read:
《The article under the title”Dumbledore cleverly captures the dark wizard who attacked Gringotts” is full of praise for Dumbledore.[]
Imagine if the title was changed to”Shock! Hogwarts professor involved in the case again”, the public opinion would be very different.
Although it describes the same thing, the feelings given to readers are very different.
The former makes people respect Dumbledore, while the latter makes people question the safety of Hogwarts.
However, for Dumbledore, such a small matter is just icing on the cake for his reputation.
Ye Ting is a little famous in the magic world.
Ye Ting, on the other hand, has emerged in this incident and began to be famous in the magic world.
He wittily rescued the unicorn in the forbidden forest and bravely identified Quirrell.
The news revealed by the Auror’s office made people look at this child with admiration: he was only in the first grade, but he could resist the attack of the dark wizard and protect the unicorn from the poisonous hand.
Overnight, Quirrell changed from an unlucky sudden death ghost to a dark wizard that everyone wanted to fight.
The direction of public opinion changes so quickly and unpredictably.
However, Quirrell has become a ghost at this time. Neither physical nor magical attacks can affect him. He is silent and wanders around the castle all day. He never reacts when others scold him.
Although the young wizards sneered at him, they could do nothing but spit at him to vent their anger.
As time went by, everyone gradually ignored his existence.
Only Harry and Ron always believed in Quirrell’s innocence.
They often went to Quirrell to express their firm support to him, encouraged him to continue to fight against Snape, and asked him for information about Snape.
Their stubbornness is simply ridiculous.
It can only be said that although the clumsy Quirrell failed to hide from Dumbledore’s eyes, he successfully deceived the simple Harry..
