"Thank you, the great Mr. Karkaroff, for your contribution to Ministry of Magic. After I go back, I will propose to the minister to apply for Order of Merlin for you." Lin Ze said with a smile.
Karkaroff shuddered when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Don't... don't... don't apply... I... I don't want..."
Just kidding...Dark Lord has just fallen, and most Death Eaters haven't been caught by Ministry of Magic yet. At this time, you apply for Order of Merlin to me. This is not obvious to tell those Death Eaters who are still outside that I betrayed you, come and kill me!
Just like the martyr Peter who hangs Order of Merlin, First Class in the original novel, he doesn't dare to show his head at all.
Looking at the pale-faced Karkaroff, Lin Ze said meaningfully, "Oh? So, you are still a noble person who is not interested in fame and wealth?"
"No... yes... yes... I am..." Karkaroff showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Well... that's such a shame." Lin Ze shrugged indifferently.
Karkaroff continued to smile flatteringly.
"Okay, you don't have anything to do here. Just put down all the things you don't need much and you can go." Lin Ze waved his hand.
Karkaroff scratched his head in confusion. "Isn't it useful...?"
But he saw Lin Ze slowly take out a Galleon from his pocket and put it on his fingertips, turning it over a few times gracefully.
Karkaroff pulled his face hard, but did not dare to say anything. He could only obediently take out a heavy Dragon Hide pocket from his arms and put it on the table.
"Danglang"
It was the sound of metal hitting wood.
Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at the door with his wand.
"Okay, let's go, but I still advise you not to think about removing that mark. It is the same as the Dark Mark on your arm. It cannot be removed. It's just that my mark is more beautiful than the Voldemort one, hehe~"
"Yes..." Karkaroff shuddered, then dragged his tired steps towards the door.
Lin Ze didn't care about him. He needed Karkaroff to live. As his biggest foreign aid in Ministry of Magic in the future, Mr. Karkaroff's life was tied to the butts of several Ministry of Magic officials.
After Karkaroff left the hotel, Lin Ze stuffed the heavy Dragon Hide pocket into his robe and casually removed "Confundus Charm".
The landlady at the bar felt her vision blurred. The two men who were still chatting happily were suddenly left with only the young Asian sitting there with a smile.
Lin Ze happily walked up to the landlady and threw a Galleon with the same pattern erased on the table, "Just paid for the drink. By the way, the coffee is good."
Lin Ze went up the stairs humming a little tune "Deng Deng Deng".
The landlady looked at the gold coins in her hand and glanced meaningfully at Lin Ze's back.
Unexpectedly, he won the Karkaroff line and gained control over many people in Ministry of Magic. Lin Ze's mood at this time was comparable to that of his boss giving out a year-end bonus.
When he opened the door to the room, Aila was standing beside the bed, wearing the blue dress he had turned into a bed sheet.
He was clumsily wiping his wet hair with a towel.
She heard the door knock and raised her head, her lake-green eyes shining brightly under the light of the white woven lamp.
"You... you're back." Her voice was still very small.
"Yeah." Lin Ze closed the door, took off his coat and hung it behind the door, then sat down on the bed.
"Just now I saw..." Aila looked at Lin Ze carefully.
"Oh, that's a friend. I didn't expect to meet him here. I rarely met him so I said a few words to him." Lin Ze said casually with a smile.
Aila lowered his head and did not ask any more questions. He just sat quietly on the edge of the bed and continued to wipe her hair with a towel.
Lin Ze locked the glass bottles containing Karkaroff's memories into a small wooden box with "Undetectable Extension Charm", which contained all the emergency supplies he carried with him.
After putting the small wooden box in place, Lin Ze raised his head to look at Aila who was sitting on the other bed and carefully wiping his hair.
After putting on new clothes, this girl looked completely different from the little beggar who was huddled in the tattered blanket before.
Although the light blond hair is still dripping with water, its original color can already be seen, and the slightly curly ends stick to the thin collarbone.
The blue skirt that turned out to be a bed sheet fit her surprisingly well, except that the neckline was a bit too big, exposing two protruding collarbones.
Her skin is very white, almost transparent, but some obvious scars and bruises can be seen on the exposed skin.
Lin Ze thought for a while, then picked up the wand and waved it against her head.
A gentle warm wind blew by, and Aila's wet long hair became dry and fluffy in a few seconds.
When Lin Ze put away the wand, Aila touched his dry hair, his eyes widened.
"Is this magic too?"
"Well, Drying Charm has no technical content compared to the previous Transfiguration Spell." Lin Ze leaned on the bed and put his hands behind his head.
Aila didn't speak, just looked down at his thin hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Ze jumped up from the bed with a whoosh, inserted the wand into the belt on his lower back, and then went to open the door.
"Hello, I've prepared some food for you."
After opening the door, there was a curly-haired boy about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was carrying a tray with two plates of bread, some jam and two boxes of canned fish on it.
Lin Ze took the tray and said thank you.
The boy looked inside and saw Aila behind Lin Ze who had become clean at this time, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
But the boy didn't say anything, he just said, "Sir, I wish you a pleasant meal."
Then he jumped away.
Lin Ze held the tray and closed the door.
"It seems you are quite famous in this town." Lin Ze said to Aila with a smile.
Aila shrank his head, "Uncle Agnar..."
"Agnar." Lin Ze corrected with a serious look.
"He is not your uncle. An uncle will not hurt his own children, so he is just a child abuser. Call him Agnar!"
Aila nodded slightly. "Agnar... used to... used to beat me... people in the town were afraid of him... they would secretly give me some food when I was left outside to beg by Agnar..."
"Later... Later... Agnar found out... He didn't allow me to eat... He asked me to keep all the food... If I dared to eat... I would be beaten..."
Lin Ze nodded silently, no wonder she just put the oranges he gave her in her pocket.
Those guys really gave them an advantage by letting them die like this, tsk...
"Okay, stop thinking about the past. Those guys are dead. Do you have any plans for the future?" Lin Ze asked.
"I..."
"I want to go with you..."
After Aila finished speaking, he looked at Lin Ze anxiously.
Hmm...
It seems that something is not easy to handle...
Lin Ze scratched his head, it seemed that there really was no place for this girl to stay.
After all, she is a Obscurial who doesn't know when she will explode. Wherever she is placed, there is a bomb that may be detonated at any time.
It's true that you can take her away with you, but when you return to Britain and go to work at Ministry of Magic, you can't carry a little tail with you every day, right?
What's more, he knew the attitude of those in Ministry of Magic towards Obscurial. They would rather strangle the threat in the cradle of ignorance than let her grow up by believing in the one-in-ten thousand miracle.
I put her at home, but I was afraid that one day she would get into trouble and blow herself up, which would make things even more troublesome.
Aila was sitting on the edge of the bed opposite, his hands neatly placed on his knees, and his fingers twisting the edge of his skirt.
"Isn't it... inconvenient to take me..." Her voice was very soft, with careful testing in it.
"It's really not very convenient." Lin Ze nodded honestly.
"I have a lot of things to do every day, but I have a friend who can send you to him. I believe he will like you very much." Lin Ze said confidently.
