Chapter 279 New Members

To be honest, among the two people, Victor and Benjamin, Mike admired Benjamin more.

Victor is more similar to Mike, and their development direction is based on personal strength.

But his character is still a little worse than his own, which can be seen from his sudden outburst just now.

However, you can't blame him, after all, he is different from Mike. Although Mike is only 14 years old physically, his actual mental age is already middle-aged.

Overall, Victor still has potential.

But Benjamin took a completely different path from Victor.

He is more like a wise general. His own strength is not outstanding, but his ability in potions and team planning is very strong.

Compared to a reckless man like Victor, it is obvious that a wise general like Benjamin is what Mike really needs.

However, although Mike wanted to give the championship to Benjamin, he had no choice but to find that Victor's loot was much greater than Benjamin's.

There were so many that Mike didn't need to count them in detail and could just observe them with the naked eye.

Mike had already made a decision in his mind. He sat up straight and lightly lifted the coffee table in front of him.

The crisp knocking sound of knuckles and the wooden coffee table brought everyone's attention back to Mike, even Victor, who was controlled by Mike, was no exception.

Everyone knows that the final result of this hunting competition is about to be announced.

In the serious atmosphere, Mike waved his wand and released his control on Victor.

"The winner this time is Victor."

As Mike pronounced his sentence, both Victor and Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

But the difference is that Victor is the kind of relieved that a huge stone has fallen to the ground, while Benjamin is the kind of relieved that after trying hard but still failing.

"Congratulations, Victor."

Mike stood up with a smile, took out a bag filled with gold galleons and pounds, and handed it to Victor.

Seeing this, Victor stretched out his trembling hands to take the bag, and held it tightly in his arms.

He looked like a miser.

But no one else present laughed at him. Instead, they looked at him with envy.

The prize for the winner of the Triwizard Tournament is only 1,000 gold galleons.

And here, it’s ten thousand gold galleons plus one million pounds!

With such a large amount of money, even if Victor starts to live in poverty and waits for death, he can still live in poverty for the rest of his life if he saves a few words!

Mike saw everyone's reactions, he grinned and said:

"Okay, then our activities are over tonight. Everyone can leave except Benjamin and Victor."

Hearing this, Benjamin, who was still a little uneasy, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

he is very smart.

He was smart enough to figure out what Mike meant at the beginning of the game.

In this competition to hunt black magical creatures, the criterion for judging victory is superficially only the number of black magical creatures hunted. But in fact, the essence of this competition is to judge Mike, the referee and organizer. Show your abilities.

It's like an interview where the interviewer gives you a question.

If you solve the problem perfectly, you will naturally pass the interviewer's test, but as long as you show your ability to impress the interviewer during the problem-solving process, you may be admitted.

That’s why Benjamin tried to gather as many people as possible from the beginning.

Because he knew very well that when it came to personal hard power, he could never compare to Victor.

Then you can only make outstanding performances in other aspects.

It can be said that his teammates were completely deceived by him.

Why gather everyone's strength to win the championship and then divide the rewards equally?

is it possible?

Things like money can be divided equally, but what about the most important knowledge?

His plan was considered successful up to this point. Although the competition results were not as good as Victor's, Mike still kept him because of his performance!

Thinking of this, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Victor's face.

Victor on the other side didn't seem to have any reaction to Benjamin being left behind. On the contrary, he caught the black guy who was beaten by him when he tried to sneak out from the corner.

"take it out!"

Victor grabbed Xiao Hei.

"Wha...what?"

"Teeth! Take it out!"

Only then did Xiao Hei react. He hurriedly took off the wolf fang pendant from his neck, handed it to Victor tremblingly, and then escaped from the Room of Requirement.

Victor, on the other hand, did not continue to pursue Xiao Hei, but carefully took out the pair of small canine teeth from the pendant and put it into his arms.

Mike did not pursue Victor's behavior. Seeing that other irrelevant people had left, he followed his usual practice and with a flick of his wrist, two olive branches flew in front of Benjamin and Victor.

"You are very good, really very good." Mike said, "Because of your outstanding performance, I decided to give you a chance. An opportunity to become my partner, and also an opportunity to become stronger and more powerful. But It should be noted that this is not simply giving. When you enjoy the convenience and opportunities I give you, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities, very heavy responsibilities! Come on, think about it carefully, the choice is in your hands. "

After saying that, Mike stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Benjamin picked up the olive branch on the ground without hesitation.

He had been planning for so long just for this opportunity.

The words he said to his teammates in East London were actually his own insights.

For such a chance to make a comeback, he would give everything!

The olive branch began to deform the moment he picked it up.

First, the branches and leaves began to shrink one after another, and then a bright golden color slowly appeared, until finally, what appeared in front of Benjamin's eyes was an ordinary golden galleon.

A trace of doubt flashed in Benjamin's eyes, and he looked up at Mike.

At this time, Mike was observing Victor.

Because when Victor faced his solicitation, he actually began to hesitate!

Is it possible that Victor's only purpose is these ten thousand galleons and one million pounds? He actually has no interest in anything further?

Mike shook his head. If this was really the case, then Victor's score in his mind would plummet.

Fortunately, Victor didn't let Mike wait too long, and after a little hesitation, he also picked up the olive branch.

Mike laughed.

After snapping his fingers, Mike also took out a gold galleon and demonstrated to the two of them.

"Now, follow me. Turn the gold coin clockwise one and a half times with the letter facing up, then turn it counterclockwise three times, and finally say 'Open sesame'."

When they heard the words "open sesame", Victor and Benjamin were both stunned and looked at Mike, wanting to ask if this was a joke.

However, Mike's figure in front of him was distorted for a while, and then he was sucked in by the gold coin. Finally, the gold coin disappeared.

Victor and Benjamin both had their mouths wide open. You looked at me and I looked at you, a little at a loss.

"What now?" Victor asked.

"No need to ask, of course I did it!"

Benjamin gritted his teeth and followed Mike's instructions to activate the gold coin.

The next moment, Benjamin also disappeared.

…

In the Masonic Secret Realm (formerly the Ravenclaw Secret Realm), Mike and other members of the Freemasonry were standing silently in the spell training hall transformed from an indoor square.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and everyone heard it and ran away, only to see that Benjamin had appeared in the square, and he was covering his mouth to prevent himself from spitting out.

Immediately afterwards, Victor also appeared.

His physical fitness was obviously much better than Benjamin's. He didn't seem to feel any discomfort at the moment the transmission ended. Instead, he instinctively raised his wand and began to be wary of his surroundings.

"Bah bang bang!"

As the applause rang out, Mike stepped out from the crowd and said to the two of them:

"Welcome! Welcome to Freemasonry!"

Half an hour later, after fully understanding the functions of Freemasonry, Benjamin and Victor finally understood the current situation, and finally signed an unbreakable oath with Mike and officially became members of the Freemasonry.

Then Mike took them out of the magic training ground, and after walking around the secret realm that was still expanding, they finally came to the conference room.

Until this moment, Benjamin still looked stupid.

He was frightened.

He had already roughly guessed that Mike had a more secretive small organization.

But what he didn't expect was that Mike and the others actually built such a perfect secret realm!

And this secret area not only has complete facilities, but is also connected to the Great Hall of Hogwarts!

In other words, if the Freemasons want to attack Hogwarts, it will be easy if their high-end combat power is not weaker than Hogwarts!

Victor on the other side was also shaking with excitement.

It's just that he is much simpler than Benjamin.

This was purely caused by the fact that he saw many powerful black magic books and many methods of controlling magic spells in the secret realm.

Everyone sat down. Although Victor and Benjamin looked a bit like Ah Xiang entering the city, no one meant to laugh at them. They smiled kindly at them and regarded them as saying hello.

"Okay everyone, in addition to welcoming us two new members, I have one more thing I need you to do." Mike said, "That is to keep an eye on Moody. All his information needs to be compiled and finally handed over to me."

"Well, do I know why this is? After all, you know, he is a paranoid victim who tests for poison every time he eats. Our behavior can easily be misunderstood by him."

Fred said in a funny tone.

George, who was sitting next to him, was just about to echo his brother to lighten the atmosphere here when he saw Mike's cold eyes, and he swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out in an instant.

"Now is not the time for joking. I have a very strong feeling that there will be some big changes this school year, big enough to cause turmoil in the entire wizarding world!" Mike said expressionlessly, "So, please fight. Be energetic! Pay attention to everything around you, especially Moody! If there is any sign of trouble, tell me immediately!

At the same time, please use the rest of your attention honestly to refresh yourself. Especially for you, I think your weird hobby of dissecting all kinds of strange creatures can be put on hold for a while. Benjamin is a magic genius, and the two of you can work together to increase the reserve of some control potions! "

"This is not a weird hobby..."

Soraka said in an unintelligible voice.

After saying that, he looked at Benjamin and gave him a bright smile.

On the other side, Benjamin couldn't help but shudder when he received Soraka's smile.

"And you, George, Fred, and Franklin. It just so happens that this year's Quidditch Cup has been cancelled. Please work hard and put your thoughts where they should be, okay?" Mike said, "Pe. Nello, please contact the Dolphin Factory and let Arthur and the others be prepared. I may need their help at any time."

Penello looked a little ugly. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked:

"As for doing it to this extent?"

She knew how terrifying Arthur was. The remaining witcher was different from those previous witchers who specialized in hunting monsters. The techniques he learned were completely aimed at wizards, which made killing wizards difficult for him. It's not much different from killing a chicken.

What kind of enemy is it that requires Mike to use such a monster?

"What I can tell you now is that the world may be in chaos, and huge dangers are slowly approaching." Mike stood up. "At the beginning, I thought what we needed was time to grow. After all, we still have I am young and still have a lot of time to squander. But now, I have changed my mind. The world is really going to be in chaos, and the chaos brings not only huge dangers, but also opportunities! Let us quickly Opportunities to rise! Time waits for us comrades! Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Therefore, I need you all to work hard and never let down your guard! The road ahead will be difficult, but I Believe that for the greater good, we will eventually win!”

"For the greater good, we will prevail!"

Everyone present stood up and repeated this sentence with a solemn expression.

After doing all this, Mike waved his hand and said:

"Then let's disband."

Hearing this, none of the people who had just been injected with chicken blood returned to their respective lounges to sleep.

The Weasley brothers went to their alchemy laboratory to start new research, Franklin went to the spell training ground with a determined look, Penello went to the study to write a letter, and Victor couldn't wait to get into the library.

Benjamin and Soraka also left the conference room.

Finally, silence returned to the dark conference room.

Mike lay alone on the boss's chair and covered his eyes with his hands.

It seemed that he was concentrating with his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth were rising uncontrollably.
