Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 589 The Embarrassed Fairy

In this battle, apart from Mike's side, the Daughters of the Federation can be said to be the force that paid the least and gained the most.

For example, just look at Carlyle.

It can be said that Carlisle gave everything for this battle. Not only did he give up his career in the United States and deployed all his strength to France, he also sacrificed a large number of manpower.

But all he got were some secret realm keys and supplies. To be honest, these things were extremely inconsistent with what he paid.

You have to know that their social status has not been improved because of this incident.

However, what Mike gave to the Daughters of the Federation could make their already lofty status even more superior.

This was something Mike was very reluctant to see. After all, after obtaining those benefits, the Daughters of the Federation would inevitably grow rapidly within the territory of Ying Country, which was not a good curse.

But Mike had to give this benefit, because the Daughters of the Federation represented not only themselves, but the entire traditional aristocratic class.

The power of this class is enormous. If these old guys rebel or run away with their property, the economy of the entire Ying Kingdom's magical world will suffer a significant setback.

Especially in the current situation, to be honest, there is really no good way to deal with them for the time being.

So this time Mike could only temporarily show goodwill to them in order to stabilize them.

However, Mike's benefits are not so easy to get. Mike has decided that as long as he has free hands later, no matter how much these guys eat now, they will have to spit out double.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled coldly at the white-haired lady, and then looked at Karen, the Muggle wizard representative who had been smiling flatteringly at the side.

That's not much to say about the benefits to be given to Muggle wizards.

Eliminate discrimination based on bloodline, give Muggle wizards more job opportunities and higher social status, eliminate discrimination against non-pure-blood wizards by pure-blood wizards in the market, and even secretly swap the social status of the two, etc.

These things were decided by Mike at the very beginning of the war, so there was nothing to argue about.

And as mentioned before, these hidden things are actually much more valuable than real gold and silver, and Karen, Mike's puppet, is not qualified to bargain for this.

After the arrangements regarding the Muggle wizards were announced, the only person at the scene who had not yet received any benefits was the goblin representative Bronze Gate.

The elf-like old man with a monocle was obviously getting impatient, but when he saw Mike looking at him, he still forced a smile stiffly.

Looking at the twisted smile on Tongmen's face, Mike also laughed.

"Bronze Gate, right?" Mike asked casually. When the bronze gate nodded, he continued, "What I want to give you is the key to the two secret realms of Ian and Quint."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole office fell silent. Everyone was looking at Mike intently, as if waiting for him to finish speaking.

But Mike leaned back in his chair and spread out his hands, indicating that he had finished speaking.

This caused an uproar in the office.

Representatives of non-human intelligent creatures such as leprechauns and veelas all shook their heads and talked to each other in glee.

What the goblins had done in front of the Department of Mysteries just now had made them very angry, so they could hardly wait to see the goblins being humiliated.

But surprisingly, after hearing the benefits offered by Mike, Tongmen did not get furious as they expected, but nodded expressionlessly, looking calm and indifferent.

This aroused greater interest among the crowd. They would not believe that the goblin in front of them would be as calm in his heart as he appeared on the outside. You know, goblins are the most greedy creatures in the world. This guy must be pretending to be calm now, and he will definitely make another move in a while!

This time, they guessed right.

After nodding for a while, Tongmen adjusted the monocle on his right eye, squinted his eyes, and said to Mike with a serious face:
"I can accept your conditions. I can even give up those two secret realms. Anyway, for us fairies, you don't have much to offer."

After saying this, Tongmen paused, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, revealing his sharp fangs, and continued:

"McTownley, you should know exactly what we want. We followed you just because of that. Otherwise... Hey, you're right, right?"

"You mean wand access?"

Mike said calmly as he flicked the non-existent dust off his shoulders.

"That's right!" Tongmen stood up excitedly after hearing this, "As long as you can grant us the right to use the magic wand, we are willing to do anything for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the faces of the representatives of other races around them instantly disappeared, and were replaced by a vigilant expression.

The magic wand is undoubtedly one of the greatest inventions in wizarding history. It is the magic wand that greatly lowers the threshold for wizards to cast spells, making wizards the most powerful creatures on the entire planet.

Fairies can also use magic wands.

If a goblin, a creature born with an extraordinary talent for spellcasting, were to acquire a magic wand, it would become even more powerful.

By that time, not only would the wizards’ ruling status be lost, but even other races would be oppressed even more severely.

After all, goblins are creatures that are more greedy by nature than humans!
Wizards naturally know this, so all the magic wands on the market now actually have a race lock, which can ensure that no creature other than wizards can use the magic wand.

Throughout history, goblins have repeatedly asked wizards for the right to use wands, and even launched wars for this purpose. Undoubtedly, they have all failed.

But they obviously had not given up on the wand, so they tried again.

In just a moment, everyone's attention shifted from the bronze door to Mike. They were already prepared. As long as Mike showed the slightest intention of agreeing, they would jump out to object.

Mike naturally noticed the change in everyone's expressions. He smiled slightly, straightened his body and said to the bronze door:

"I can't possibly give you the right to use the wand. Not only that, I'm going to take it back from Gringotts!"

"what did you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongmen raised his voice and spoke.

At this moment, the expression on his face became extremely twisted, and he tilted his ears as if he didn't hear clearly what Mike said.

Mike didn't mean to repeat himself. He put away the smile on his face, stood up and looked down at the bronze door.

Tongmen's expression suddenly turned ugly. He clenched his fists, and his body trembled slightly due to excessive anger. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I absolutely don't agree!!"

"Your consent is not required for this, and I am not asking for your opinion. I am just informing you." "Gringotts was built by us goblins. It is our ancestral property!"

"Not any time soon."

"You...you can't...you can't do this...can't..."

Tongmen was breathing heavily and muttering to himself. Mike's words just now made his mind a little confused.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised his head and said:
"You are just killing the donkey! We, the goblins, have helped you so much, and this is how you repay us? Let me tell you, we, the non-human intelligent creatures, are united. If you dare to treat us like this, we will definitely repay you!"

After saying that, a smile appeared on Tongmen's flushed face again. He felt that he had already won the game. A guy like Mike who wanted to continue to rule the Ministry of Magic of Ying Country would definitely not want to offend all of their non-human intelligent creatures at the same time.

But the expected voices of agreement from other representatives around him did not come, and Mike just looked at him coldly, with even a hint of sarcasm remaining on his indifferent face.

Tongmen turned his head and looked to both sides with a confused look on his face. He was very curious why these representatives did not cooperate with him.

But Mike behind the desk snorted coldly.

Now those guys are all fat and bloated, and have already gotten what they should have, so why would they speak for Tongmen?

What's more, not to mention the fact that the goblins had offended them before, even if the goblins really got the right to use the magic wand with their help.

There is a high probability that they will not remember their kindness, and the chance of turning the tables on them is even higher.

The reason why he left the announcement of the bronze door to the last was because of the current situation.

And now it seems that the effect is quite good.

On the other side, the bronze door's body had completely stiffened.

He had also realized that these guys would never join him in resisting McTominay.

So what to do next?

The goblins simply turned the table and started a new goblin rebellion?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Tongmen shook his head.

If it were before, this would indeed be an option.

After all, with the help of Gringotts, the accumulation of the goblin clan over the past hundreds of years is also very terrifying.

But now the young and strong men under his command have just been killed. If this world turns the table against the legendary wizard Mike, that is not rebellion, but seeking death!
Thinking of this, Tongmen's pupils suddenly dilated, and the look he gave Mike became terrified.

Just now, he thought of a terrible possibility.

That's what Mike expected!

Cold sweat broke out on Tongmen's face. At this moment, he felt cold all over and his hands and feet had lost consciousness.

Mike didn't plan to waste time talking to him anymore. He just threw out a warehouse key like everyone else and said coldly:
"Alright, take your things and get out of here. The Los Santos Corporation will go to Gringotts tomorrow to discuss the handover of Gringotts with you. I hope you can cooperate, otherwise..."

Mike didn't continue his words, but everyone present understood what he meant, and the atmosphere in the entire office instantly turned cold.

Tongmen looked at the key in front of him, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything. In the end, he could only pick up the key and leave the office in shame.

He is not a fool and he knows very well that he and the fairy clan have no right to speak now.

After the bronze door left, everyone in the office remained silent. Everyone lowered their heads cautiously. The aura Mike had revealed just now was too strong, and they were now worried that Mike would attack them.

Fortunately, Mike was not such a ruthless person. After nodding, Mike quickly announced the end of the meeting and started the celebration banquet.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office eased a little. Everyone carefully followed Mike out of the office and came to the hall next door.

The decoration of the hall is very similar to that of the minister's office, and even more luxurious. It is obvious that Chris likes this style very much.

Soon, a large amount of delicious food and fine wine were piled on the two long tables in the hall.

Today's banquet will be held in the format of a regular cocktail party, that is, a buffet. This is Mike's decision to sit down after considering that non-human intelligent creatures like giants do not understand table etiquette. Otherwise, one can imagine how terrible the consequences would be if the giants sat at the table.

In addition, the service staff and chefs who prepared the food at this cocktail party were not regular house-elves, but wizards of Muggle descent.

In the future, Mike also plans to promote this practice of replacing house-elves with Muggle wizards in other industries.

There are many benefits to doing this. On the one hand, it can provide more jobs for Muggle wizards. After all, today's house-elves are so capable that their existence has taken away a lot of work from Muggle wizards.

On the other hand, this also reflects Mike's attitude of being equal for all, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the former is much more important than the latter. Mike doesn't really care what the house-elves will do after they lose their jobs.

Most of the guests were very satisfied with this cocktail party.

Carlisle was chatting and drinking with the leprechauns and other representatives of non-human intelligent creatures.

The giant representative sat on the floor, constantly taking food from the long table and stuffing it into his mouth.

He ate very fast, which made the waiters who kept serving food very embarrassed.

Karen, the representative of Muggle wizards, surrounded Mike and showed his courtesy.

Mike did not give detailed explanations on the policy improvements towards Muggles in the previous meeting, so Karen now hopes to get more information.

As for the representative of the Daughters of the Federation, the white-haired lady, she left the party early.

Obviously, she didn't really like attending a cocktail party with a bunch of weird guys.

Mike didn't care about her leaving.

A celebration party is a celebration party, there is no need to be unhappy over such a small matter.

But just when he and Benjamin and others were feeling happy, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.
