112. Spying on each other
Elaine's words slightly caused some waves, and everyone in the room began to whisper among themselves.
Mrs. Roberts knocked on the table several times to calm everyone down.
"I remember that there is a Ministry of Magic that is responsible for managing wizards. If what you said is true, it is impossible to leave this kind of thing to a little girl like you." She asked Elaine. "This doesn't seem to be the reason why you came today."
"No, this is one of the main reasons. Prophecy is very unstable, and the fewer people know about it, the better, so even the Ministry of Magic doesn't know about it," Elaine replied. "Let me tell you directly, the Shafiq family wants to use this matter to cooperate with you and regain their rights in the Ministry of Magic."
"Cooperation" Mrs. Roberts repeated the word once and smiled. “What kind of cooperation?”
"Get what we need from each other, or should I say it's a transaction. You give me support. I'll give you information. Do what I say. It's good for both of us."
"Sounds reasonable, but there seems to be something wrong with what you want."
"Why else would I look for your normal stuff? I can get it myself."
"What do you want the prisoner to do?" asked an old man. "Is it like in the story that the wizard will use people as materials to use black magic to summon demons?"
"The Shafiq family has no inheritance in this area." Thinking about Adair's handling style and what he had to do next, Elaine couldn't refute what the other party said, so she could only change the topic. "I am good at illusion magic, music magic and prophecy. The magic of summoning demons may be done by other wizards, but in the past hundreds of years, I have never heard of a successful example. You can rest assured."
"Then tell me clearly what you want to do with the prisoner," another person asked. "We want an explanation for where the prisoners taken away by Shafiq's family have gone in the past sixty years."
"I'm only twelve years old, how could I know?" Elaine said coldly. "I'm curious. In the past, when the elders of the Shafiq family came to ask for someone, would you question them like this or would you say, do you think I am a child who is easy to bully?"
As Elaine asked back, the atmosphere became quite tense, and many soldiers quietly moved their hands to their weapons.
"What you want is not an ordinary thing, but a living human being." Mrs. Roberts replied. "In the past, we did not investigate the corruption of executive officers. But now, we put the safety of the people first, even if the other party is a prisoner. This is an improvement in thinking. Please answer my question."
"I remember that you have been in politics for a long time. Sir, why didn't you say this in the past?"
Elaine snorted, since the other party wanted to know so much, then just admit it.
She wanted to see what would happen if these people knew.
"Those people are naturally dead, because black magic experiments require various living materials--oh yes, the experiment may fail, so you should prepare more materials to avoid making me wait."
After hearing the answer, as expected, most of the people in the room showed angry and dissatisfied expressions, and their eyes looked a little colder when they looked at Elian. Several soldiers even moved forward silently, blocking Elian's back. road.
"What do you think of human beings and life?"
"Whatever you take, I will take it as such." Facing the other party's angry rebuke, Elaine replied calmly. "I have given you respect and reward, but other wizards would have taken action directly. It seems that you really think that I am a child who is easy to bully."
"No, we have no intention of going against you, and are even happy to trade with you." Mrs. Roberts raised her hand and said to comfort the others. "It's just a matter of living materials that no ordinary person can accept."
"Don't apply your ideas to other people. There are many people who are willing to exchange with me."
Elaine replied impatiently, she finally knew that Adair would laugh at her for discussing cooperation with Muggles.
Rather than spending a lot of time explaining it clearly, it only takes three seconds to cast the Oblivion Curse or the Imperius Curse, and both parties will be satisfied with the result, so why not use magic? No wonder every wizard likes to use strong methods to solve things.
"Miss Shafiq─"
"Okay, let's talk it over clearly once and for all." Elaine took a deep breath, and for the sake of being a Muggle, she decided to patiently explain to the other party one more time. "The Shafiq family was indeed not a good person before, but there are dark wizards in the wizarding world who are more radical than them. These people started the first wizarding war. Mrs. Roberts, the former prime minister, must know about it."
"Indeed, Voldemort, your former Minister of Magic, Miss Bagno, even spent more than an hour explaining to me that because of the death of this demon king, the wizarding community has the right to celebrate as much as possible." Mrs. Roberts said with a sneer. The incident seemed to cause her a lot of trouble. "The wizard is happy, but it makes us miserable, and this lady takes it for granted─"
"The problem with the former Minister of Magic is just a minor matter, and she was wrong, Voldemort is not dead." Elaine said, "He will be resurrected and return in three years, and will gather giants, werewolves, dementors and a large group of dark wizards. Restarting the Second Wizarding War, unfortunately, no one can stop him this time."
"What do you mean by this?"
"It means that in three years there will be a lot of psychopaths more radical than me who will start to cause trouble. They will take pleasure in killing people, and the Ministry of Magic will become their accomplice. By then you will not encounter wizards who are as easy to talk to as me. "
"This is a threat," said an old man. "Ordinary people are not as powerless as you think. We have high-end force and defense systems─"
"Yes, sniper rifles, infrared, and all kinds of technologies, right?" Elaine replied with a wry smile, "Believe me, Your Excellency, I have tried everything you have thought about. In the face of magic, the firearms and weapons you are proud of are useless at all. , wizards can only be dealt with by wizards.”
"I don't believe it," Elaine said after seeing the expressions on many people's faces. "Then why don't you make a bet? Within half an hour, you can use any means, including firearms, grenades, whatever. As long as it hurts me, I will lose. If I lose, my request will be cancelled, and I will try my best to meet your conditions. "
"You are so confident, don't you think too highly of yourself?" the other party snorted, "Sometimes technology is no worse than magic, you──"
"Just give it a try and you will know. If you are worried about my life, then change the target and I will defend. You can use Barrett, Gatling, tank cannon, or even missiles." Elaine declared with confidence. .
The issue of Muggle weapons was once discussed with Adair in the live broadcast room. Not to mention military fans, even national-level officers came out out of curiosity to debate with Adair, but were left speechless.
Wizards are not as simple as Rowling wrote, and duels are not just about shooting spells at each other.
Although the quality of the magic world has gradually declined recently, there are many idiots who can't even use barrier spells.
But the most disturbing thing is that these idiots are all pig teammates, not pig opponents.
"Why bother, there is no need to test." Mrs. Roberts sighed and said.
At this moment, the soldiers standing behind Elaine suddenly shot at Elaine's limbs without hesitation.
I don't know when, they already had small-caliber pistols in their hands and fired continuously at close range. The bullets could penetrate Elaine's body in less than a second.
Elaine had no reaction time, no wand, and no time to use musical magic.
Even so, the bullet failed to hit her. It turned around in the air and flew into Elaine's hand.
Elaine turned the bullet into a flower and threw it in front of Mrs. Roberts.
The room was silent.
Then, the middle-aged men sitting on the left and right of Elaine suddenly jumped up and grabbed Elaine, but they just jumped away and bumped into each other on the empty chairs.
Elaine disapparated faster than both of them, and without warning.
It's not like these two people exchanged glances before taking action.
While everyone was panicking, Elaine appeared in the room again.
"Sorry, I still prefer soda. I just went back to get it." She apparated behind Mrs. Roberts and put a bottle of Coke on the table as she spoke. "Tea is too bitter, how about drinking Coke instead?"
