Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 542 Gathering
"Ah, I see."

Listening to the voice coming from the Masonic gold coin in front of him, Benjamin answered slowly.

But as soon as he turned his head, his expression became extremely solemn. "

"Haha, I told you so!"

Franklin sneered, but Benjamin did not respond to him at this moment. Instead, he patted the intelligence bag from Hogwarts in front of him and fell into deep thought.

It must be said that Dumbledore was very sincere this time. The intelligence bag contained a lot of information about the current situation of the Ministry of Magic.

What Benjamin cared about most was information about Chris Flint, the current Minister of Magic.

According to the information provided by Dumbledore, Chris's strength has improved greatly during the time he disappeared, and there is a high probability that he has entered the legendary realm.

Benjamin actually didn't have much knowledge about this legendary realm, but based on the strength that Voldemort and Dumbledore had shown before, it was definitely not something they could contend with.

This means that it is simply impossible for them to force their way into the Ministry of Magic.

Fortunately, the intelligence bag provided by Dumbledore also contained a list of personnel available for deployment, including two undercover agents of the Order of the Phoenix buried deep in the Ministry of Magic.

With the presence of these two undercover agents, Benjamin can consider adopting a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.

That is, their main force would act as cannon fodder in the front to attract the attention of Aurors, strikers and Chris, while the other elite team would sneak into the Ministry of Magic through the two insiders to rescue Mike.

But if this plan is to be implemented, new problems will arise.

You know, the cell where Mike is imprisoned is the famous "Dead Sea Prison". If you want to release the prisoners inside through the Dead Sea, you must hold the "key", but that key is firmly controlled by Chris.

When Benjamin thought of this, he felt a constant pain in his head. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke out this difficult point.

However, to his disappointment, the entire conference room was extremely silent. Everyone seemed to be thinking hard, but no one could think of any solution.

Shaking his head silently, Benjamin was already thinking about giving up this plan.

But at this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"Let me go."

Benjamin raised his head abruptly and looked towards the source of the voice, and saw Victor looking at him expressionlessly.

Benjamin was actually very familiar with Victor.

He actually entered the Freemasonry at the same time as Benjamin, and his initial test results were much better than Benjamin's.

But after joining the Freemasons, Victor embarked on the path of researching alchemical mechanical prostheses, thus moving away from the core group of the Freemasons. He stayed alone in a laboratory in a secret corner to do research. At the beginning, Mike even gave the job of taking care of him to Benjamin and Soraka.

In Benjamin's impression, Victor has already become a professional scientific research logistics personnel, and a more extreme scientific researcher at that. This can be seen from the fact that he has replaced all his limbs with mechanical prostheses.

Apart from producing some important scientific research results from time to time, Victor has not shown any other combat talents.

So when Victor stood up and said that he could solve the 'Dead Sea Prison', Benjamin was quite surprised.

But after thinking for a moment, Benjamin finally did not refuse directly, but asked:

"Could it be that... you have new scientific research results?"

"This is not really a new achievement, it's just that Mike has always prevented me from doing this before." Victor said with his eyes lowered, "But you can rest assured, I can definitely rescue Mike from the 'Dead Sea Prison'!"

"No!" Franklin jumped up and said, "You are not even willing to tell us the specific plan, why should we believe that you can do it?"

Victor did not respond to Franklin's questioning, but took a deep breath and then looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with his eyes wide open in disbelief:

"Could it be that you want to..."

"That's right! This is the most direct and convenient method I can think of!"

Benjamin's breathing became rapid:
"Mike once told me that I could never let you do that."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Victor said, "I know the consequences of doing this, and I am willing to bear such consequences. That's enough."

Benjamin fell silent after hearing this, but in the end, he looked at Victor deeply and said:
"Then this mission is left to you. I will find a way to get you in when the time comes."

Victor nodded, then trotted out of the meeting room.

Franklin, who was standing by, shouted in confusion:

"Wait! What are you talking about? Why don't I understand anything?"

"You just need to know that it's the right thing to entrust this to him." Benjamin continued to stare at Victor's departing back and said, "He is a great man, a man who is willing to give everything for Mike."

After hearing this, although Franklin still had a puzzled look on his face, he closed his mouth.

Although he was not very smart, he was not a fool either, so he knew very well that Benjamin's brain was much more useful than his, and the decisions he made were likely to be better than his.

Moreover, the current situation of the Freemasons does not allow them to start infighting among themselves.

"Okay, now let's assign tasks!" Benjamin finally retracted his gaze and said to the remaining people in the conference room, "Zhou Hong, I need you to go to Hogwarts to organize those students and make them appear where they should be when needed!
Franklin, your duty is to lead the Los Santos Wizards to attack the Ministry of Magic together with Arthur. I remind you again, the Ministry of Magic is different now, and the enemies you will face this time are monsters like Dumbledore and Voldemort. So, don't be impulsive, and focus on delaying time!

Penelope and others are responsible for controlling public opinion and inciting the emotions of those Muggle wizards and magical creatures to make trouble at the Ministry of Magic. And I will contact the members of the Order of the Phoenix and let them join this battle at the right time! "

After that, everyone stood up and said yes, then quickly left the meeting room, while Benjamin himself stared at the backs of everyone leaving in a daze.

After a while, he sighed, picked up the communicator beside him, dialed a number, and said:

"Sirius Black? I'm Benjamin, Mike's friend. Mike is in trouble now and needs your help..."

...In the Requirement Room, Zhou Hong was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed, and opposite him stood hundreds of wizards wearing black robes without any academy markings.

These people are all prospective employees of the Los Santos Security Company, and they are all sixth and seventh grade students at Hogwarts. Their fighting power has become very impressive after training.

However, this group of people behaved extremely respectfully towards Zhou Hong, a junior who was much younger than them. They all stood in a neat line in front of Zhou Hong without moving.

The reason for this strange situation is actually very simple. Zhou Hong was actually responsible for the training of these people.

These prospective Los Santos wizards have completely submitted to Zhou Hong after seeing his methods!
But looking at these quasi-Los Santos wizards in front of him, Zhou Hong sighed deeply.

As one of the true core members of Freemasonry, although Benjamin did not say it explicitly, he knew very well that this battle would be extremely brutal!

You have to know that the opponent is a legendary wizard. When there is no strong person on your side who can compete with him, there is only one way to delay the opponent, and that is to sacrifice human lives!
In other words, the people standing in front of him are basically cannon fodder.

This made Zhou Hong feel a little sad. You know, although he would beat and scold these people at every turn, after a long period of training, feelings had already developed between them.

Now he had to let Zhou Hong send them to hell with his own hands, and he really couldn't bear it.

But no matter how reluctant he was, Zhou Hong still knew what was important!

Mike has done him a great favor! He will rescue Mike no matter what the cost!
Having made up his mind, Zhou Hong's sadness subsided a little, but was replaced by an increasingly strong feeling of irritation.

He frowned and glanced at the clock on the wall, and said impatiently:
"The notice was sent half an hour ago. Haven't they come yet?"

There was silence in the audience, and no one dared to answer this question.

Zhou Hong didn't expect the group of people in front of him to give him any answers. After asking, he leaned back and started shaking his legs.

At this moment, the door of the Room of Requirement was suddenly opened, and then a large group of Ravenclaw students, led by a girl, walked into the Room of Requirement.

"Ha, looks like we're the first to arrive!"

The leading girl said with a smile, and Zhou Hong snorted twice and waved his hand to signal them to sit wherever they wanted.

The girl didn't hesitate and took a group of Ravenclaws to quietly occupy a corner of the room and began to wait.

The group of Ravenclaws were obviously far inferior to the well-disciplined prospective Los Santos wizards. Many of them came to the Room of Requirement for the first time. They were full of curiosity about this legendary room and began to explore it excitedly as soon as they arrived here.

Although they had restrained themselves a lot due to the presence of Zhou Hong and the quasi-Los Santos wizards, the originally quiet Room of Requirement became noisy after a while.

Zhou Hong didn't care much about this.

From the very beginning, he didn't expect these people to have any combat effectiveness. It didn't matter if they were a little chaotic. They would just be cannon fodder on the battlefield anyway.

In the next half hour, the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff teams also arrived at the Room of Requirement. Their numbers were almost the same as Ravenclaw's, and most of the senior students who were about to graduate had arrived.

They gathered together and talked and laughed loudly, without any sense of urgency about joining the battle.

Perhaps, in their imagination, this was just an ordinary parade.

When the last Slytherin team arrived, the originally noisy Room of Requirement suddenly became quiet, because this time Draco brought only two or three Slytherins!

Everyone stared at Draco in amazement, which made Draco feel a little embarrassed.

He also wanted to bring more people with him, but when the Slytherins heard that they were going to go against the Ministry of Magic for Mike, they all became scared. What could he do?
Draco instinctively wanted to argue, but Zhou Hong didn't give him the time at all. He directly led the prospective Los Santos wizards and the teams from the four major academies out of the Room of Requirement and ran towards the kitchen.

It was late at night and the corridors in Hogwarts were empty, with only Filch and Mrs. Norris still wandering around.

Such a big noise naturally attracted their attention, but unlike usual, this time Filch did not step forward to catch all the students who were out at night. Instead, he hugged Mrs. Norris tightly and silently bowed to Zhou Hong and others!
Filch's actions did not cause any reaction from the main force. Zhou Hong led everyone to move forward and went straight into the kitchen.

The kitchen was still bustling with activity at this time. As soon as Zhou Hong and others came in, an elderly house-elf came over with a cane.

"Mr. McTownley's messenger, could you please wait a little longer?" The old house-elf pleaded in a humble tone, "We are preparing breakfast for tomorrow. We will set off immediately after the work here is completed!"

Zhou Hong nodded expressionlessly. There was still plenty of time and he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Seeing this, the old house-elf breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to urge the other elves.

Under his urging, in a short while, exquisite breakfasts were placed in large baskets, and the house-elves gathered in front of Zhou Hong.

"lets go!"

Zhou Hong shouted loudly and reached out to grab a house-elf beside him.

The people behind him followed suit and each found a house-elf to hold on to.

Along with the intensive sound of finger snapping, a distorted space wave spread out in the kitchen, causing Benjamin and others to disappear on the spot.

As soon as Zhou Hong and others left, the kitchen door was pushed open again.

Hermione, Harry and Ron ran in breathlessly, only to see an empty kitchen.

"Damn it, we're late!"

Hermione stamped her feet in frustration, but Ron beside her breathed a sigh of relief and said with some relief:

"It seems like it's God's will. Why don't we go back to sleep? Anyway, my parents and Sirius don't agree with us going there. I think it's better for us to listen to them this time."

Harry and Hermione both frowned when these words were spoken, but they didn't say anything.

They all knew that Ron was a bit of a coward, but no matter what, he would never let them down when the critical moment came.

The three of them looked at the empty kitchen. Hermione's eyes lit up and she shouted to Harry as if she had thought of something:

"Harry! Dobby! Can you still contact Dobby? Can't you just ask him to take us out?"
