Chapter 378 376. Price

There is no doubt that the two people who came in must be Malfoy and his son.

Although they covered their faces, at this time, there would be no other people who came to the Hog's Head with such a group.

After the two came in, they quickly found an empty table and sat down. Jon did not go over immediately, but looked at Aberforth who was walking towards the father and son with a tray.

"What do you need?"

Aberforth's attitude was not very good, and even by the standards of a waiter, it could be called bad, but this was not against Malfoy and his son, but his service attitude has always been like this since he opened the shop. Places like the Hog's Head did not attract customers with service quality.

"A glass of whiskey."

The tall man said.

His voice was rough, and it was obvious that it was treated with potions.

Aberforth glanced at the shorter man in black robes.

"What about this guy?"

"Just one glass, he doesn't drink."

"Okay, as you wish."

Jon didn't waste time. When Aberforth went to get the wine, he stood up and came to the Malfoy father and son and sat down opposite them.

He could clearly feel that after he sat down, the shorter black-robed man trembled slightly and subconsciously shrank back to the position of another person next to him.

Jon raised his eyebrows hidden under the hood and spoke.

"A date?"

He didn't cover his voice, so as long as he spoke to someone familiar with him, he could easily identify his identity.

Lucius looked at Jon, then slightly pulled open the black robe covering his face, revealing the face that was very famous in the British wizarding world.

The place they chose was in the corner of the bar. The lights on the ceiling were dim, and the greasy stains around seemed to absorb all the light. In addition, whether it was Jon or the Malfoy father and son, they were all dressed in black. Unless someone stopped by them on purpose, basically no one would notice them.

In addition, there were few customers in the store. Apart from the table of Jon and his friends, there were only two drunkards who had been drinking since noon and were bragging to each other about their travels and dangerous places in the middle of the tavern.

"You came here alone?"

Even though he couldn't see Lucius's face, Jon could imagine from his tone that he must have frowned when he asked this question.

Aberforth also brought the whiskey that Lucius wanted at this time. He put the wine glass full of sheep smell on the table heavily, as if to express his dissatisfaction that there were three people sitting at the table but only one glass of wine was ordered.

Obviously, Lucius ordered this glass of wine just to deal with the owner of this store. He didn't want to let any part of his body touch the wine glass at all.

After Aberforth left and returned to the back of the bar to continue wiping the endless wine glasses, Jon casually answered Lucius's question.

"Who else do you want me to bring? Tom Riddle?"

Draco was obviously startled when he heard the name, and his body couldn't help shaking more violently. Lucius was obviously much calmer, but his tone was much colder than before.

"This joke is not funny at all."

Jon smiled and didn't say anything more. Draco's reaction was enough to let him know what he wanted to know.

"Okay, let's talk about something funny. As the great gentleman's iron confidant, the director of the Auror Command Office, the noble pure-blood wizard Mr. Lucius Malfoy, what do you want to do by privately looking for a wanted criminal like me who has committed a heinous crime?"

Lucius ignored Jon's teasing. Jon's attitude was mentally prepared before he came. In this kind of thing, whoever takes the initiative is the weaker party.

"Do you have the power to make decisions on some matters?"

"Then Mr. Malfoy, please tell me what the specific matters are." Jon shrugged, "You know I'm just an ordinary student."

There was silence in the air for a few seconds. Obviously, no one believed Jon's nonsense. In the end, Lucius did not choose to go around like a conventional interest negotiation, but came straight to the point.

"I want to make a deal with you alone, Mr. Green. A deal that has nothing to do with our camps and positions, a pure deal." Lucius took a deep breath, "I hope you can guarantee my son's life safety in the next two games."

Draco lowered his head aside. Of course, he should feel humiliated. As warriors in the Triwizard Tournament, the other three can shine for their schools, but he needs his father to ask his competitors to guarantee his safety.

Jon was not surprised by Lucius's request. This was just as he and Dumbledore had guessed in the principal's office before. Lucius was most likely to meet for his son's matter.

"Why do you need my guarantee? We are enemies, Mr. Malfoy. Doesn't Emil Lestrange have strong abilities? Why don't you ask him to protect your baby son?"

"You know why I didn't look for him. Everyone has seen his performance in the first project." Lucius' voice revealed rare sincerity, "I said, regardless of the camp and position, your character is more worthy of my trust."

What he said was ridiculous. The enemy is more reliable than his own people, but it is indeed the case.

It can only be said that Voldemort really gathered a group of scumbags under his command.

"So, what are the conditions?" Jon asked the question he was most interested in, "You can't ask someone to do something empty-handed, right?"

Lucius looked at Jon calmly, he raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

"I know that ring."

Jon was subconsciously stunned for a moment, but he soon reacted. His original careless expression disappeared instantly, and he turned to reveal an extremely solemn look.

"Adrian Fox, traveler, adventurer, archaeologist, alchemist, spell master, he traveled around the world, but he did not leave any reputation until his death. But I know the ring you are wearing. I once had the honor of meeting Mr. Fox at a banquet. The ring he wore on his hand was exactly the same as the ring you held when you entered the Forbidden Forest that day."

"So?"

Jon narrowed his eyes.

Knowing the existence of the ring does not mean that he knows what the ring means. He really wants to know how much Lucius knows.

This chapter is to make up for last night's lack, and there will be another 4,000 in the early morning.
