Building Infrastructure Together
After making a deal with the Muggle Prime Minister, Lester didn't linger and immediately took Sang Biao and Hafiz away from the Prime Minister's office via the fireplace teleportation system.
He left in such a hurry not because he was afraid the Muggle Prime Minister would change his mind, but mainly because he was afraid the wizard who had left behind 20 bottles of inferior Polyjuice Potion would come back.
If he were to see a pirated copy of the Hogwarts trio, the wizard would probably wet himself in fear.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lester thought it best to leave first.
After Lester left, the fireplace in the Muggle Prime Minister's Muggle Prime Minister burst into flames again, and then Minister Bano reappeared in the office.
"Your Excellency Muggle Prime Minister, I forgot to mention, our transaction can be held in the suburbs of London. Our people will collect your materials later."
Minister Bano swaggered out of the fireplace, sat down in the Prime Minister's seat without any ceremony, and announced the location of his deal.
In his view, although the Muggle Prime Minister held a high position of power, he was still just a Muggle and nothing special.
He casually surveyed the Prime Minister's office. He had been in such a rush earlier that he hadn't had a chance to look closely, but now, seeing how carefully the items were arranged, he realized that the office was quite tastefully furnished.
"I want my new Minister's Office to be laid out like this too," Minister Bano said, surveying the Prime Minister's office as if no one else was there, completely ignoring the Prime Minister.
However, when Minister Bano suddenly realized that his term as minister would last less than a year, his face turned extremely grim.
It's all that damned Dumbledore's fault. If he hadn't gone to the Soviet Union for no reason, his Ministry of Magic wouldn't have been burned down, and he might have been able to keep his position as Minister.
Just as Minister Bano was complaining about Dumbledore's bad timing in leaving home, his eyes were suddenly drawn to the bottles of Cheering Potion on the table.
"Who gave this to you?" Minister Bano's voice was filled with fear and unease as he stared at the Cheering Potion on the table.
You should know that in the Wizarding World, only he, as a minister, has the right to contact the Muggle Prime Minister.
But now, it seems there's another group of Wizarding World forces trading with Muggle, which is a bit frightening.
"Oh, you mean these Potions?" The Muggle Prime Minister didn't take it seriously and said directly, "An old man named Dumbledore gave them to me. He said he's the headmaster of Hogwarts. By the way, you're the Minister for Ministry of Magic, you should know this Dumbledore, right?"
"Is this old man your subordinate?" the Muggle Prime Minister asked Minister Bano, feigning nonchalance, because he sensed that things weren't so simple.
Minister Bano: "..."
Minister Bano stared blankly at the Muggle Prime Minister, whose face seemed genuinely sincere and not at all like a liar, and asked somewhat dazedly, "He really said he was Dumbledore?"
"Yes," the Muggle Prime Minister said without hesitation, "He also brought two professors with him, Snape and McGonagall. I have a feeling that Snape isn't an easy guy to get along with."
Minister Bano: "..."
For some reason, he felt as if he had been outmaneuvered by Dumbledore.
Didn't this old dog say he was in the Soviet Union? How come he's in the Prime Minister's office now, and he even brought his right-hand men with him? Isn't that a bit too much?
Seemingly worried that Minister Bano wouldn't believe him, the Muggle Prime Minister even 'thoughtfully' handed Bano a photo that had just been captured by surveillance cameras.
Because both Sang Biao and Hafiz were somewhat guilty at the time, they kept their heads down, so only Lester's entire appearance was perfectly recorded by the surveillance.
After seeing the photos handed to him by the Muggle Prime Minister, Minister Bano's face turned extremely grim. He couldn't believe that anyone in the entire Wizarding World would be so audacious as to use Polyjuice Potion to imitate it.
Even if someone had the guts, who could possibly get their hands on Dumbledore's hair?
So, who else could it be but Dumbledore himself who appeared right in front of him?!
"You Dumbledore, you old codger, you've been hiding something pretty well!"
Regardless of how Minister Bano insulted Dumbledore in the Muggle Prime Minister's office, Lester, who had just returned to Azkaban, sent people to obtain a large quantity of building materials that had been traded with the Muggle Prime Minister.
Unlike the carefree Bano, Lester simply wrote down the transaction location on the list, so within a few hours, he effortlessly carried back the hundreds of tons of building materials in bags that had been enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm.
After a day of rest and revelry, all the prisoners of Azkaban, led by Lester, began a vigorous infrastructure project in the northern part of Azkaban.
A person who can be imprisoned in Azkaban must have a high level of magical power, otherwise they would not be able to commit crimes.
Furthermore, since these prisoners knew they were building houses for themselves, their enthusiasm for work was exceptionally high.
In Lester's vision, the entire northern part of Azkaban would be divided into two parts, with the Fountain of Life as the center.
One department was responsible for building the prisoners' living quarters, which consisted of individual villas, each enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm, for the prisoners to live in.
The other part, and the most important part of this infrastructure project, is Azkaban Academy of Hogwarts.
The arrogant Lester plans to build a massive magic academy in Azkaban, modeled after ancient China architecture.
The buildings inside are all based on the architectural styles of the China, mainly showcasing the Qin and Han style.
The teaching content should also be tailored to individual needs, offering a variety of courses to improve the overall quality of these prisoners.
First and foremost, the most important thing is to Kongzi the Lunyu of the old man Lester. In Lester's view, to judge whether a team has vitality and a future, you don't need to look at anything else, just look at whether its guiding ideology is advanced.
The ideas of the Kongzi man were very suitable for these Azkaban prisoners. If they were to learn them, they might have miraculous effects.
Aside from Lunyu being a compulsory course at the academy, Lester decided to adopt a student-centered approach to other courses, meaning that whoever had outstanding talent could become a teacher.
For example, if you're good at stealing, you could open a course teaching students how to steal.
If you're skilled at using the Killing Curse, then you could open a Killing Curse on its use.
Here, as long as you have the ability, you can shine.
Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that what they teach is helpful for the future development of Lester's team.
After all, Lester is a man destined to dominate the world; the mere British Wizarding World is merely the first step in his rise.
To achieve this unprecedented goal, he must carefully cultivate his team from a young age.
