As he carefully felt the magic power replenishing his body, Lester revealed a 'kind' smile.

If he were to amass 1,000 bottles of the Life Spring Water and distribute them to the Azkaban prisoners, he could lead them to Cleansweep the Wizarding World, and he would be a peasant who had risen to power and was now singing songs of triumph.

Of course, Lester was only thinking about it. Putting aside Dumbledore, who could instantly kill people with his ultimate move, it would be extremely difficult to produce enough Life Spring Water to reach 1,000 bottles.

Just from scooping up a handful, water droplets began to condense on the large rock in the very center of the Life Spring Water.

Gradually, the water droplets grew larger and larger, eventually sliding directly into the spring water through the cracks in the stone.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the source of the spring water in the Fountain of Life.

"What the heck is this?!" Suddenly, Lester was astonished to find that the ground beneath his feet had changed color. This magical change shocked even the worldly-wise Lester.

A thick layer of soil has suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the black rocky surface that once belonged exclusively to Azkaban.

Lester bent down and picked up a few small clods of soil. He held the soil to his nose and smelled it, then was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was black soil that could be used to grow crops!

This Fountain of Life not only continuously produces precious water that restores magic, but it can also Silencio alter the surrounding environment.

Lester had been having some headaches because the geological environment of Azkaban was too harsh. Even if he used expensive materials to build a mansion there, it wouldn't feel like a place where people could live.

But now, with this Life Spring Water, everything seems to be solved. As long as it's there, the environment in northern Azkaban will gradually improve.

It's estimated that in just a few days, the city's living environment will be improved to a pleasant standard. At that time, we'll build a wall to enclose the improved northern area.

Those prisoners who are willing to submit to him will be sent to the northern region for further study, while the scum and degenerates who come later will be thrown into Azkaban Prison to suffer.

While Lester was pondering how to build the Azkaban Vocational Technical College, the Ministry of Magic was also undertaking reconstruction work.

The entire Ministry of Magic, from the inside out, except for the uppermost Entrance Hall, was burned to the ground by Lester's Fiendfyre.

Unfortunately, they couldn't ask Sang Biao for compensation. Leaving aside whether these high-ranking officials had the guts, even if they did, Sang Biao Sang Biao, being a prisoner, wouldn't have the money to pay!

Therefore, they had no choice but to fund the reconstruction of the Ministry of Magic themselves. After all, this was their home base, and it was quite necessary for the pure-bloods to contribute money for its reconstruction.

Although wizards possess amazing magic, the raw materials needed for construction cannot be conjured up by magic.

Some might say that Transfiguration can conjure up the materials needed for construction, but those materials are for flooring. The Ministry of Magic has nine floors; if the magic of the transmuted object runs out, the bricks will instantly revert to their original state, wouldn't the entire Ministry of Magic collapse again?

Left with no other option, in order to obtain the enormous amount of materials needed for the construction, Minister Bano had to humble himself and approach the Muggle Prime Minister of Britain to discuss the purchase of materials.

The wizarding community is no secret to the Muggle leadership; in fact, thousands of years ago, wizards and Muggle lived together.

Just like the story of Arthur and Merlin, in ancient times, wizards in Britain served Muggle monarchs.

With their magical powers, wizards are usually highly valued by Muggle rulers and receive generous rewards.

In ancient times, the most important reward was undoubtedly land. Therefore, the shamans who received land all transformed into renowned nobles of the time.

Take the Malfoy family, for example. Their ancestors were royal wizards who followed the Duke of Normandy to England.

For their contribution in helping the Duke of Normandy seize the England throne, the ancestors of the Malfoy family were granted vast lands, and over the millennia, the Malfoy family's fiefdom continued to grow, eventually forming the powerful Malfoy family.

Otherwise, given the level of magic at the time, wizards would not have been able to support themselves and would have had to rely on the Muggle monarchy for survival. Therefore, the existence of wizards was not a secret to the Muggle leadership.

They began cooperating thousands of years ago.

At this moment, in the England Prime Minister's office, Minister Bano was engaged in a fierce exchange with the England Muggle Prime Minister.

"What kind of tricks are you freaks up to?" The Prime Minister, his face turning ashen with rage, pointed at Minister Bano's nose and said, "There are millions of people in London. I don't want to get involved in your wizarding affairs, but that doesn't mean you can treat people's lives like a joke."

"I told you, it was the prisoners of Azkaban who were behind it," Minister Bano said impatiently. "Now the prisoners have been subdued, and the Wizarding World is safe."

Hearing Minister Bano's nonchalant tone, the Prime Minister was furious. These wizards seemed to have never cared about ordinary people like them, and didn't value their lives as human lives.

"So what brings you here?" The Prime Minister, having calmed his anger, asked, "Have you come to admit your mistakes?"

"Of course not!" Minister Bano shook his head dismissively, saying, "Your Excellency Muggle Prime Minister, I've come to you not to ask for any help."

"Our Ministry of Magic was burned to the ground by Fiendfyre, those insane prisoners, so I need to buy some building materials from you."

Minister Bano explained in detail his purpose for coming here.

In reality, the wizarding world is not without building materials, but the entire real economy of the Wizarding World is controlled by those old, Pure-blood families.

Although the two sides appear to be on good terms now, the emerging Pure-blood families and the established pureblood families have always disliked each other.

This displeasure even extended to their children; even within Slytherin, their children would split into two factions, looking down on each other.

Therefore, Bano would absolutely never buy building materials from those damned old-school purebloods. They'd rather give this huge order to the Muggle than let the old-school purebloods get a single drop!

Ignoring Minister Bano's use of the Muggle, the Prime Minister's heart stirred.

"So, what are you going to use to buy it?" The Prime Minister's eyes flickered, and his fingers tapped the table rhythmically, as if trying to put pressure on the other party.

He definitely wouldn't do it if you asked him to give away building materials for free, but if it's a transaction, then they can cooperate quite well.

Minister Bano didn't waste any words and said directly, "We can provide 20 bottles of the Polyjuice Potion!"
