Amosta weighed the bag in his hand that had been expanded by the Seamless Stretching Curse. Even after the weight was weakened by the constant floating spell, the still heavy feeling made him feel extremely happy.
Seven hundred gold galleons was the reward he earned after spending half a month sleeping rough and hungry in the old forests of the Jura Mountains in France. It was enough to be worth a formal education at Hogwarts. A year's salary of an employee or senior official of the Ministry of Magic.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the heart of the cockatrice brought by Amosta, Cacus, who was sitting opposite, closed the rough wooden box and smiled with satisfaction,
< p>"Your credibility is the brightest light in the underground world, Mr. Jin Viper. Every transaction with you is a perfect enjoyment."Amosta silently put his money bag He put it away and turned a blind eye to Kakusfli's praise. Everyone came out to hang out just for the golden galleons. It was best not to have any friendship unless necessary.
"What other decent commissions have you received recently?"
"You are still as hard-working as ever, Mr. Jinvi."
Amosta's indifference did not change What makes Karkus feel displeased is that in fact, most people here are cautious in their words and deeds. Only those who are polite and enthusiastic like him are an outlier.
Kakus’s smile remained unabated, flattering him silently as he took out a notebook from his arms and flipped through it,
“As for the type of tasks and What are your requirements for remuneration?"
"My habits have not changed from before, Karkus, don't waste each other's time," Amosta said coldly.
"Of course, of course, how could I forget your request not to accept any commissions for wizards or Muggles, the commission gold is more than five hundred galleons, and the time to complete the task needs to be as short as possible. I will not forget any of it. The habits of a customer, Mr. Jin Viper,"
Kakus looked at the notebook in his hand, mumbling something, but his brows gradually furrowed, until he turned to the latest page of the notebook, he could not Pick out the tasks that meet Amosta's requirements,
"I'm afraid I have to apologize to you, Mr. Jinvi, tasks that meet your habits are usually hot commodities, and there was another raw material before, The task of preparing a magical activity-inhibiting potion, worth five hundred and fifty galleons, was unfortunately taken away by someone else three days ago.”
Hearing this, Amosta stood up and turned around to leave. A vigorous and resolute manner.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Golden Viper"
Kakus, who had already prepared the groundwork, immediately stopped him with words. Faced with Amosta's unkind gaze, Kakus' forehead veins appeared He jumped, fearing that the man in front of him would take out his wand and pin him to the ground with a spear, just like he had done to those unruly werewolves.
"No offense,"
Kakus quickly explained, "I do not have any commissions that meet your requirements, but there are some commissions that are very generous, but the risks are higher. task, I wonder if you would be interested in hearing about it"Listen to it"
"Higher risk"
A high-risk mission that would allow Kakusfli, who has been hanging out here all year round, to evaluate it would definitely not be a small job like smuggling. Amosta was hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he sat back down again and nodded to Kakus,
"Let's talk about it first. ”
Kakus breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. It is not an easy job to earn intermediary fees from dangerous wizards like Golden Viper. You don’t know where you will offend them in some inexplicable way. It will lead to your own death, so you must be prepared to escape at any time.
"The reward for the first commission is twenty thousand gold galleons"
Just listen to the amount of the commission. Amosta immediately raised his eyebrows and held his breath.
"The client sent me a magic contract from Albania. He hopes that someone can help him rescue Lester from Azkaban. Look at this commission from the Ranchi couple and the Carlo brothers and sisters."
"Humph, I'm not that stupid, Karkus, I refuse this commission. ”
Amosta refused without hesitation.
If it was just to save people, considering the weight of Galleons, Amosta might hesitate. Although the dementors in Azkaban are dangerous, they are not impossible for him to deal with.
The real danger of this mission is that there is something wrong with the person he is saving.
No one in the wizarding world doesn't know that the Lestranges and the Carrow brothers are the most radical Death Eaters. Once someone rescues them, it can be expected that Dumbledore, who spent the rest of his life fighting against Voldemort, will definitely intervene. Investigation, Amosta doesn't want to waste the rest of his life on the run.
Besides, the location of Azkaban is top secret in the magical world, and finding it is very time-consuming.
Kakus was not surprised by Amosta's straightforward refusal. According to him, the person who issued the mission most likely drank too much Firewhiskey and was not so clear-headed. After all, who would be willing to meet him? What about disgusting and terrifying creatures like dementors?
“Your choice is very wise, Mr. Golden Viper. Then, let me think about another commission. Someone claims to have found a certain person from ancient times. The location of a magical ruin built by a powerful wizard, hoping to recruit some extraordinary wizards as guards. The client said that they cannot directly offer a high commission fee, but they are willing to share the discoveries in the ruins with explorers. Take a look at this commission."
It is indeed possible to obtain high returns by searching for ruins. Not only items such as gold, silver and gems, but also many ancient magics that are lost today and are famous for their pursuit of power are likely to be found in the ruins. If If you can learn from it, it will be helpful to improve your own strength.
However, after thinking for a moment, Amosta still refused the commission.
It was not because he was afraid of risks. Relics also require a lot of time to prepare, and there is a high probability that the result will be nothing. Amosta does not like to pin his profits on unreasonable things.On luck.
Kakus was very patient, and he introduced several long-cherished commissions to Amosta. However, for each commission, either the benefits were not proportional to the risks, or, after completion, he would It caused huge trouble and was rejected without exception.
In the end, even Karkus was troubled by Amosta’s pickiness. He sat there, frowning and thinking, silent for a long time,
“There is one more, the last one. "Yes, Mr. Jinkui, if you are not satisfied."
For a long time, Kakus stretched his head with a cautious expression. Although he could not see the expression behind the magic whirlpool on Amosta's face, he still looked at it. Try your best to observe the dangerous guy opposite,
"Have you heard of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets"
"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets"
Ah Mosta's body trembled. Although the memory of the plot in his previous life has been basically lost, it is impossible for anyone who has studied at Hogwarts not to have heard that Amosta has made moves with people in the underground world. , the spells he cast and his spell-casting habits were clearly cultivated under modern orthodox magic education, and there was nothing to hide.
/p>
"You don't often stay in the country, so you may not know it. Although the Daily Prophet has no relevant reports, the news has spread privately. It is said that the secret room in Hogwart has really been opened. "Cili, someone is using the power of the Chamber of Secrets to create panic, and Dumbledore can't do anything about it"
"Wait"
Amosta interrupted Kaku unceremoniously Si, "What does this have to do with entrustment? Does anyone pay to hire me to protect those children in the school?"
"Of course not"
Kakus smiled slyly ,
"But, Salazar Slytherin's name is indeed attractive enough, right? The client believes that Slytherin left a secret treasure in the secret room and was obtained by the so-called heir. Otherwise, what would happen?" Explain that even a powerful guy like Dumbledore can't find any clues."
Amosta kept silent. He really didn't remember much of the plot of the original book, but at least he remembered that there seemed to be no clues in the Chamber of Secrets. There was no wealth, magic, or powerful alchemy tools left behind.
However, according to the greedy nature of the wizards here, it is not surprising to have such speculation.
After all, the four founding giants of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are all powerful wizards with official histories and possess powerful magic powers that ordinary people cannot match. Once their legacy appears, people will definitely flock to them.
"Even if this is true,"
Amosta was unmoved, "How could anyone dare to rush into Hogwarts and steal things from Dumbledore? It’s safer to go to Azkaban to catch those lunatics.”
“It’s not necessarily about robbing them, but it’s more practical.way of reasoning. ”
Kakus was very interested, as if he was determined to convince Amosta,
“I can give you some help, for example, let you use the school board of directors to Entering that school in the name of an external investigator
The noble wizards on our school board need to respond a little to the terrorist activities taking place in the school to deal with people's growing dissatisfaction, but at the same time, they They are also worried that the attacks will continue to happen, but the wizards they sent have no effect and have become the laughing stock of people.
But if there is a reliable wizard, they are willing to negotiate with Dumbledore. After all, , Dumbledore's performance in this series of events was disappointing. They may have thought that he was a bit slow due to his old age."
"It seems that you have planned to target me for a long time. ”
If Amosta hasn’t discovered this now, he would be really stupid. It’s not that Cacus doesn’t have a commission for taste. The risky mission was nothing more than bait. His real purpose was to hope that he could accept the last commission.
Sure enough, he was seen through.
Kakus felt nervous. , showing a humble smile,
"After all, the choice of the investigator needs the approval of Albus Dumbledore, so wizards born in Hogwarts are the first choice, and their strength and credibility are also very critical. Here, only you fit the bill. "
Amosta couldn't deny it,
"How do you solve the problem of keeping my identity secret? You should know that this will reveal my true identity. "
A man as smart as Kaku Sifli has naturally considered this issue a long time ago. He couldn't wait to guarantee,
"The client will not know that Mr. Jin Viper has taken over the commission. , although the school board will know your name in the outside world, they will not find out your identity in the underground world from me. "
"What about you?"
Amosta asked aggressively, "In your plan, you are the only one who will know my identity both in the outside world and in the underground world. Man, how do you ensure that you are trustworthy?"
"The Unbreakable Oath is guaranteed by the lives of everyone in the Foley family and will always keep your identity secret. "
Amosta stared intently at Kakus's face, which was not young, and did not express his position in a hurry.
"It seems that you can learn from this commission. It’s a very big reward, right?”
“This is my personal secret, Mr. Jin Viper. "
Kakus seemed to have victory in hand, he smiled and said
"Eight thousand gold galleons, plus the thanks of the school board, maybe even a commendation from the Ministry of Magic, in exchange for Si Mr. Golden Viper, the secret treasure in Leitlin’s secret room, this business is very cost-effective”
