Chapter 473 471 Worms

Chapter 473 471. Worms

Just three days after Slughorn held the banquet, Jon found Hunter as promised.

"I believe you will make the right choice, and you didn't disappoint us, Spike."

Hunter didn't show any surprise at Jon's arrival, as if he was sure that Jon would agree to join them.

Afterwards, he took out a long-prepared contract for Jon and placed it in front of him.

"You should know that the current situation is far from the time to welcome the return of our real master, so there are some things we must ensure the loyalty of the participants, so you need to sign this."

Jon carefully read the contents of the contract. Compared with the magic contracts that he and Slughorn had guessed before, such as the Dark Mark or the Blood Oath, the restrictions and power of this contract were not so strong.

Even if he signed and broke the contract in the future, he could use the universal spell on the second gem to destroy the contents of the contract in his hand, and he didn't even need to use the Phoenix to regenerate once.

So Jon signed his name on the contract and asked excitedly.

"Can I see the real master? Where is he now?"

This is what Jon wants to know most.

Since Voldemort No. 2 escaped from the flames of Nirvana in Hogwarts Castle half a year ago, no one has heard any news about him, except that Snape used himself as bait to lure out a bottle of golden gravel, but even that time he did not show up in person.

Jon was very curious about where Voldemort No. 2, who was the most capable of causing trouble, was hiding.

However, Hunter gave Jon a negative answer.

"The master is recovering his strength and waiting to return. During this period, he does not need our interference. All we need to do is to complete the task he gave us."

Jon was sure that Hunter was definitely not a core member of this group of Death Eaters. Being able to gather so many Death Eaters together was basically equivalent to eating away the pure blood. Voldemort No. 2 must have personally come forward to communicate with the first group of people who found him.

Hunter's current look obviously showed that he had not seen Voldemort No. 2 who had disappeared.

Jon could only ask another question.

"What is the task that the master has given us?"

Hunter said with a serious face.

"Watch over the Department of Mysteries."

"Watch over what?"

"Just watch over the Department of Mysteries and don't let other people in. What else can it be?" Hunter looked at Jon with a strange face, as if he thought that this was already such a dangerous and troublesome task, why would Jon think that there were more things to do.

Jon took a deep breath.

He was restraining the turmoil in his heart and admonishing himself to maintain his acting skills.

He could only say that he felt that he had looked down on Hunter and others enough, but he didn't expect that they were more useless and incompetent than he thought!

Taking up so many resources and being educated in such a high position since childhood, how could people be so useless?

No wonder Voldemort had never expected to rely on these rubbish to succeed. When he was in the castle, he wanted to borrow a corpse to revive and become a decent leader himself!

How did the British Ministry of Magic become like this? How can we build a pure-blood magic world with these worms?

Well, Jon shouldn't worry about pure-blood trash. On the contrary, he should be happier as the most hostile party.

Jon simply shifted the question to those who stayed in the Department of Mysteries all day.

"What about Dandy and the others? I think they almost live there and patrol inside every day."

He had just joined this circle, so of course he had the qualifications to understand everything clearly, and he was not afraid of being suspected by Hunter.

Sure enough, Hunter didn't say much about Jon's question, but answered directly.

"Dandy and the others are different from us. They are the first ones to find the master, and the master certainly has more important tasks to give them. You and I don't need to ask more, just don't forget to come to the next party."

At this point, Jon really didn't want to talk anymore.

It's true that there are elites among pure bloods, but more than 80% are parasites and trash.

This was his fault. He shouldn't have expected to get any valuable information from these parasites who only knew how to party all day.

But the good thing was that after signing the contract, he and the purebloods who really worked in the Department of Mysteries were finally from the same faction, which would help him to build relationships with them better.

Then John decisively rejected Hunter's request to stay and introduce him to his sister, and went back to the Department of Mysteries.

As soon as he came back, he saw the purebloods who stayed in the department talking about today's Daily Prophet.

John wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to these people, and went together to read today's report, and then he found that the progress of the wizard line in the UK had reached Diagon Alley.

The Daily Prophet had completely lost its independence during Voldemort's rule. What it wanted to publish had to be controlled by the Ministry of Magic, including the fact that Britain was in a wartime state.

And today, the Daily Prophet was extremely rare, reporting a news that was extremely unfavorable to the Ministry of Magic on the front page.

Just this morning, Diagon Alley was attacked by wizards from the Wizarding World. The Leaky Cauldron, as the gateway to this commercial street, was almost directly captured. Fortunately, it is very close to the British Ministry of Magic. The supporting Aurors arrived in time and defended this magical commercial street, which is basically second only to the Ministry of Magic in importance.

But even so, Diagon Alley has been greatly damaged. At least in the short term, there is no way to entertain travelers again.

Besides, at this time, not many wizards would choose to spend money. Those who have the ability to bribe the pure bloods in charge of exit management to escape, and those who have no ability to hide in the wilderness, waiting for the war to end.

Beside Jon, the pure bloods who saw this news all looked disdainful, as if they had expected the British Ministry of Magic to collapse so quickly.

Jon could see that they really believed that it was Voldemort No. 1's fault that Britain would fall into this situation today. If their real master came back, they would definitely be able to directly reverse the situation and counterattack back to France.

Looking at the report, Jon was also thoughtful.

Is the progress of the wizard-horizon line in the UK a little too smooth?

Why is the situation so bad, but Voldemort No. 1 still looks careless?
