Chapter 379 377. Transaction

During the conversation, neither Malfoy nor John himself lowered the hoods on their heads.

In today's Britain, their faces are basically known to the public. As long as someone finds out about their appearance at the Hog's Head today, it will definitely be on the headlines of the next day's newspapers.

It is precisely because of this that although Lucius can look into John's eyes, he cannot accurately detect the changes in his facial expressions.

In fact, John did not think that Malfoy would know more about the ring, because when Slughorn handed the ring to him, he clearly stated that there were only two people in the entire wizarding world who knew the true value of the ring.

One was the deceased Adrian Fox, and the other was Slughorn himself, and Jon was the third person after that.

This is also why Slughorn made sure that he learned the brain block before teaching him the secret of the ring.

When the magic on the ring does not exist for every wizard in the wizarding world to learn, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Just knowing the origin of the ring I'm wearing is not a condition that can impress people, Mr. Malfoy." Jon said lightly.

Faced with Jon's reaction, Malfoy was very calm.

"But you have to take it with you into the Forbidden Forest when you participate in the first competition. It is very precious to you, right?"

Jon did not deny this, and there was no need to deny it.

"It's just something left to me by an elder. Of course, I will always carry it with me."

"I have investigated your past and know that no matter your mother's family or your father's family, there is no trace of any wizard in the three generations up. This means that before you were recruited into the school by Dumbledore, you had nothing to do with magic. Therefore, this ring is basically impossible to be passed down in the family, but since it can appear in your hands, it means that you know Fox, a little-known wizard. So I think you must be very interested in Fox, right?"

Interested in Adrian Fox?

Of course Jon was interested. Not to mention that the ring on his hand was created by him, he had no idea about the whereabouts of the two gems left on the ring.

If there was information about Adrian himself, Jon would definitely have a lot of ideas, but the premise is that what Lucius controls must be valuable.

Jon did not lose his temper and asked Lucius what he knew. Instead, he relaxed and leaned on the chair back that kept making a "creaking" sound, making people wonder how long it could last. Then he picked up the whiskey that Lucius had no interest in after ordering it, and took a sip.

"I thought Mr. Malfoy, who is known for his cunning and slyness, would not be unable to figure out such a simple thing. You and Mr. Fox only met once at a banquet, and I have something he once carried with him. Anyone should be able to see how close we are to him, right?"

Draco looked up cautiously at Jon, who was drinking underage. His strange eyes seemed to be unable to understand why he could tolerate the greasy stain on the cup.

In fact, Jon did not want to drink it. He always disliked Aberforth's personal hygiene, but during negotiations, he had to drink something to stabilize his aura and control the rhythm of the topic.

He did not mind ensuring Draco's safety in the subsequent games. As long as he did not provoke him, he did not intend to be ruthless to this arrogant young master.

The key is that since Lucius wants him to make a promise, what kind of sincerity can the Malfoy family show?

"Perhaps in terms of relationship, you may indeed be closer to Mr. Fox, but you have definitely never met him in person. Because he was dead when you really came into contact with the magic world, the ring you got was probably given to you by another person, and after that banquet, I had in-depth contact with this learned wizard because of some special things. As a result, I got to know and obtain some things that belonged to him. Can these things complete this deal between us?"

"You secretly hid the table knife he used, which was also something that once belonged to him. I have to know what this thing is, right?"

Hearing Jon's words, Malfoy was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing it, and soon he finished thinking.

"A key, a key that can open the door of Adrian Fox's house, and is cast with a spell."

Jon suddenly sneered.

"I think the way you got the key was not very honorable."

"No, it was legal and compliant." Lucius said calmly, "He was suspected of privately making and collecting magical contraband. As the head of the Auror Command Office, I have the power to issue a search warrant and search his residence. That night, he fled the UK overnight."

"So you have already searched it. What use is there for me in a house that can be opened with a key?"

"You don't need to use this method to cover up your demands. Since I dare to use this as a bargaining chip, it has been confirmed that you must care about things related to Fox. If you really have a close relationship with him, the house that we have searched and found nothing may not be a house that you have found nothing."

Lucius stared at Jon, as if he wanted to see his face clearly through the shadow.

"I came to Mr. Green with sincerity, and my request is very simple. As long as you can guarantee the safety of my son, I will be honest with you, so I hope you can be more straightforward."

Jon thought, tapping the old wooden table with his fingers, and soon he gave his answer.

"How can you let me trust you?"

Hearing him say this, Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, he knew Jon agreed.

"I will draw up a contract. You can take it back and let Dumbledore cast a spell on it. We will sign it together. As long as Draco is intact after the game, I will give you everything I know and the key."

"Okay, but that's not enough. I need to add one more condition."

"What condition?"

"I am also interested in the house-elf Dobby you sent to deliver the message. You should include him in it."

Jon was indeed very interested in Adrian's affairs, but he also saw that Lucius actually wanted to get something for nothing. The key was no longer useful to him. Now using it to trade with Jon was purely a waste utilization. He would not lose anything. How could Jon let him do what he wanted?

A house-elf in exchange for the safety of his own son, this is also an acceptable deal, isn't it?

".Okay."

After confirming that the deal could be concluded, Lucius began to organize his tone again and began the next equally important deal attempt in a tentative tone.

"One more thing, do you need someone who can provide you with information in the Ministry of Magic?"

My mind is not clear at night, so I will send 2,000 first and write more during the day. At least 10,000 today
