Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 979: Unrealistic Greed, the Standard for Creating Demons



"You just said that you are here on behalf of the Inhumans?" Aaron looked at the two of them with a half-smile, "Now you can tell me, what is your purpose?"

Gordon turned his head and looked at Lena with his eyes covered by skin, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

He was just a guard and was not good at dealing with this kind of situation, so Jiaying gave the right to negotiate to Lena.

Reina's expression was also uncertain, and she didn't know how to start for a moment.

Originally, she was full of confidence in this negotiation. Based on what she saw of the conversation between Aaron and Ultron, she was absolutely sure that she could take control of the negotiations.

But who could have thought things would turn out like this?

Not only was the threat useless, but the other party also gave him a double-edged advantage.

She had lived for more than twenty years and had never suffered such a loss, but she had no one to seek justice from.

She didn't know that Aaron was also sweating in his heart. Fortunately, it was the weakling Lena who knew his identity, and he didn't take the Inhumans seriously at all, so he was able to counter the threat.

It doesn’t matter what evidence the stranger has on him. What matters is that unless he is determined to fight to the death, this evidence will not threaten him.

The most important thing is that the fish will definitely die, but the net may not break.

But if a representative of another force came over, such as a wizard, a demon, or an angel, then he might have to change his attitude.

It is certain that I will not accept the threat, but it takes time to prepare to run away!

"You two are silent, are you trying to make fun of me?"

Noticing Aaron's tone turning cold, Reina shuddered subconsciously and said hesitantly, "The Inhumans want to cooperate with you."

"What kind of cooperation method?"

"We can keep it a secret, but we need Gaius to provide some..." Reina swallowed nervously, "some help."

"Ha! Haha!" Aaron sneered, his eyes full of disdain and said: "Some help? How interesting! That's a really nice thing to say!

Reina, do you think I'm easy to deceive because I'm young?"

"I didn't mean that. I know what kind of person you are, but I don't know you well enough."

"That's fine! My rich life experience has given me a deep enough understanding of 'human nature'.

So... I'll give you a chance to tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Jane, let her calm down and understand the consequences of lying."

Jane raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her bloodshot eyes slowly moved to Lena.

"Wait." Reina shouted in panic, "I'm telling the truth."

"Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier?" Aaron said disdainfully, "I was tired of your tricks before I was three years old."

“Tired of playing?” Hela raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, “But why is it passive?”

“I have a cousin who did this to me.

Some help? Some help can be more or less, some help can be big or small, anyway, it’s not up to me to decide.”

The corner of Hela's mouth twitched, and she asked incredulously, "Are you sure this was your experience before you were three years old?"

“It’s all tears if I talk too much!” Aaron laughed at himself, then adjusted his attitude and looked at Reina, “Please start your sincere performance.”

"I saw something beautiful and strange, it's hard to describe, like a big rock, but not a rock, it was liquefiable and had deep holes in it.

I told Jiaying about this. She knew the origin of the stone. It was left by the Kree to destroy the Inhumans.

That thing is too dangerous for an alien, so Jiaying feels it is necessary to find an outsider, a strong and trustworthy one. "

"And then you came to me?"

"Yes, the Inhumans kept Gaius's secret, and Gaius helped the Inhumans eliminate the danger posed by the stone."

Aaron nodded with a half-smile, "Anything else?"

"No, no more."

"Ah!" Aaron sighed, then pointed his thumb at the shelf behind him, "There is a bottle of magic potion called Truth Serum on it.

Just one drop can make people reveal their deepest secrets.

I don't know if Gordon is a strong-willed person, but you probably aren't."

"I... I really told the truth." Reina was panicking and explained with tears in her eyes, "I swear to my grandmother's spirit in heaven that if I told even a single lie, I will die a miserable death."

"You are telling the truth, but you are also hiding a small part, right?" Aaron said with a calm smile, "Besides this transaction, what other purpose do you have? Tell us all at once!"

"No more." Lena shook her head flatly.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Aaron said impatiently, "Jane."

Jane immediately swung out a dark chain, wrapped up Lena and hung her in the air.

Scarlet eyes appeared in her sight, and Lena couldn't help but tremble, "No, no, I really didn't, no..."

"pain!"

"what!"

As the cold voice fell, Reina screamed miserably again.

This time the pain only lasted for a few seconds, but before she could recover, she fell heavily to the ground, and then a drop of cold water fell into her mouth.

"T-Veritaserum?"

"What else do you think it is? A healing potion?"

Hearing this, Reina's face turned pale instantly, and she collapsed to the ground as if she had fainted.

There are some things that can be thought about but absolutely cannot be said. This is why she had been struggling just now, but now everything is out of her control.

"Mr. Gordon, could you help her up if you don't mind?

Don’t dirty my floor.”

“No need.” Lena forced herself to stand up. Aaron’s playful gaze made her feel like she had seen Satan, so she just gave up and said, “What do you want to ask? You can ask now.”

"Do you have any ideas other than Jiaying's deal?"

"Of course." Reina blurted out, "I want you to restore my appearance. I should be a holy angel, not a dirty rat."

Aaron crossed his hands and supported his chin, "What else?"

"I want your alchemy, potion knowledge, and magic." Lena's face became more and more bitter as she spoke, but she just couldn't close her damn mouth. She had never wished she were a mute as much as she did now.

“How greedy!” Hela secretly smacked her lips. “If I were to summon an evil god or a demon, this greedy heart would definitely be the best sacrifice.”

"Some people are just like this, born evil, like a blood-sucking worm that is never satisfied." Aaron commented very pertinently, "Don't you think your request is too unreasonable?"

"I don't expect you to satisfy my request all at once. This is a gradual process.

I can do it step by step. I will seize any opportunity to get what I want bit by bit. As long as you don't think about revealing your identity, I can keep eating your secrets."

“Pfft! Hahaha!” Hela couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “This is the first time I’ve heard such a funny joke. It’s so interesting. Hahaha…”

"Is it interesting?"

"An ant actually dared to threaten a dragon. Even myths don't dare to tell such a story."

"Your ambition is high, but your stupidity is beyond measure." Aaron shook his head speechlessly and said slowly, "Potions have fewer restrictions. Mortals can make some insignificant achievements in this field by spending some time training and learning.

But alchemy requires talent, resources, learning, hard work, and even magic power. If you don't have these, you may never be able to get started until you die.

As for magic...I'm sorry, that's determined by your birth. You're a pure Muggle, not even a Squib."

“But it’s not completely useless.” Hela laughed teasingly, “With her inherent greed, if she is willing to become a slave of some evil god, she might even be able to eat some leftovers.”

Lena:......

She could accept that the plan failed before it even started.

But the plan was a joke from the beginning, which was a bit hurtful to my self-esteem.

"I suddenly feel that Jiaying shouldn't have agreed to send you to negotiate terms. You're going to mess everything up." Gordon said indifferently, but there was a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Skye's mother is not an easy person to deal with!" Aaron said with a meaningful smile, "Do you think she doesn't know who Reina is?

But she still gave her the right to negotiate. If I guessed correctly, she wanted to use Reina to test my attitude.

If she had the chance to tear a piece of flesh from me, she would probably bite it harder than anyone else."

Hearing this, Lena and Gordon fell silent.

Originally, Jiaying should have led the negotiation, but Lena volunteered and she agreed without much hesitation. It's hard to say that she didn't have any ideas.

However, Jiaying has always been the manager of the Inhumans, and all the decisions he made were for the Inhumans' consideration. If he wasn't a little scheming, the Inhumans' situation would probably be worse than that of the mutants.

"Now that we've talked about it, let's both be more direct." Aaron pointed to the door of the fortune-telling house, "Go away! Go out through this door, and I'll pretend I never saw you.

By the way, friendly reminder, you’d better go back quickly.

If it's too late, it might cause a war between Gaius and the aliens, or it might be a one-sided massacre. I mean what I say."

"Don't you want to think about it seriously?" Lena said anxiously.

"What else is there to consider?" Aaron asked with a nonchalant smile, "This negotiation has been meaningless from the beginning, because the Inhumans dare not reveal my identity.

If that's the case, then why should I risk helping the Inhumans solve their hidden dangers? Are you just bored?"

"What about Skye? She's also an Inhuman." Reina said, "That stone will threaten all Inhumans, including her."

“You may have misunderstood something, Skye and I don’t have that good of a relationship, and I have no interest in her, so… I won’t take risks for her.

Of course, if you can afford it, I can take the risk."

"What do you want?" Gordon asked.

"That depends on what you have." Aaron said calmly, "I'm only interested in supernatural items or information related to the supernatural. Other mundane things have no appeal to me at all.

Well, that's all I have to say, you can leave now."

Seeing his attitude, Lena and Gordon realized that this meaningless negotiation had to end here.

"Let's go!" Gordon sighed, then opened up a blue-purple energy field and teleported away with Lena.

"Master, isn't it too easy for them to just let them go like this?" Jane asked with some confusion.

"We have to be polite and courteous." Aaron smiled nonchalantly, "Even when two armies are at war, they don't kill envoys, let alone me and the Inhumans haven't fought yet.

If they return safely, it will also show my attitude to the Inhumans. I don't care about the Inhumans, but I don't want to be their enemy."

“It’s unnecessary. Things won’t go as smoothly as you think.” Hela said sarcastically, “Your identity is no longer an absolute secret in the courtyard.

Now that they know about it, there is a risk of it being leaked.”

"Does Her Highness Hela want to kill all those who know about this?"

"Don't kill them and keep them for Christmas?"

"Master, I also think we should kill them. Only dead people will not reveal secrets."

"Okay, let's end this matter here!

Killing people may not necessarily solve the problem, and it may make the problem more complicated. It is good enough to maintain the status quo. "Aaron said earnestly.

He also had the idea of ​​​​cutting the roots of the problem at the beginning, but he only thought about it for a moment.

He is still in the developmental stage, and what he needs most is time. It is better to have less trouble than more.

......

As time passed, Pietro and Wanda gradually adapted to the peaceful life, and the shadow of the Sokovia incident seemed to gradually dissipate in their hearts.

Aaron also completed the records in the Lemanno Magic Book, leaving more than thirty different magics such as attack, defense, healing, teleportation, control, etc. on those blank pages.

Then he put the Lemanno Magic Book into the secret room and took out the Demon Book which was full of blank pages.

“Where did you get these things?” Hela asked curiously. “It’s ok to have a book that records magic, but you actually have a book that creates life.”

"I bought all of them with real money!" Aaron said with emotion, "Each book is more expensive than the last one, and each one takes more energy than the last one."

The corner of Hela's mouth twitched. "Please introduce such a merchant to me. His ability is not inferior to that of the Dwarf King Aitri."

"Introduce him to you?" Aaron curled his lips in disdain. "Forget it! I'm afraid you will grab him with a sword."

"I'm not that kind of person."

“It doesn’t matter to you, but the problem is that I really can’t introduce this businessman to you.

As for the reason, you can think about it slowly!" Aaron opened the first page of the book while chatting and laughing, thinking about what kind of demon he should create.

The gender is set as male, which makes it easier to use.

Appearance and IQ must not be low, but they cannot be higher than their owner either.

You need to know all kinds of etiquette, and aristocratic style is a must.

Your personality can be a little more free and easy, not too serious, and you need to understand the ways of the world.

The biggest duty is loyalty, and as for magical abilities... the ability to create and control fire is pretty good.

In addition to these, I also have to design a demon form, otherwise it would be unworthy of the name of this book...
