Chapter 549
At 10 Downing Street, the great Prime Minister Jim Hack was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth at the window.
There was a large group of reporters gathered outside the window, and dozens of burly guards lined up to keep them out.
The phone outside the office kept ringing, and he could clearly hear the roars of Harvlai and Bernard.
"Don't worry about that damn broom, just say it was blown up by a tornado."
"What? There are two people sitting on it? They were also blown up. The wind is so strong, no rebuttal!"
"If there is no tornado, let the meteorologists make one up. If they can't make one up, let them go to Australia to feed polar bears!"
The noisy voice made Hack even more irritable, and he could only comfort himself by the tragic scenes of other countries constantly broadcast on TV.
Suddenly, the reporters guarding downstairs did not know who received the order, and 90% of them disappeared at once.
The remaining 10% who were unwilling to leave were also politely asked to leave by the black-clad bodyguards who suddenly appeared.
Hack was shocked. He saw a black Victory parked at the door. A young man walked into 10 Downing Street surrounded by bodyguards. Not long after, Bernard's voice came from outside.
"Thank God, Earl Lawrence is here, Prime Minister..."
"Let him in!" Hack shouted, and remembered that there were many staff outside, and his voice became majestic again: "Bernard, Humphrey, all of you come in, hurry up "zero one zero"! There is no time to delay with the subjects of the British Empire."
Wayne's mouth twitched outside the door. He was worthy of being the two-faced Prime Minister Hack. Even at this moment, he had to keep his posture tightly.
The little angel Bernard pushed open the door of the Prime Minister's office, let Wayne go in first, then Humphrey, and finally himself. After entering, he completely locked the door to ensure that no one would disturb them.
The people here are the core members of Huck's team. They are all his own people. Huck doesn't pretend anymore. His two eyebrows are twisted together:
"Lord Lawrence, are those your people?" He pointed his finger at the TV. The turbulent female anchor was spitting. On the other half of the screen, dozens of woods were flying in the sky. Two wizards were responsible for controlling them on the ground, and several other wizards were responsible for attacking the police. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Huck switched a channel casually. Another scene of a building being torn into pieces. Next, there was a squirrel turned into a teacup and sat on the top of the car as a flying carpet.
Wayne was watching with relish, but Humphrey looked down on him. A heavy cough brought him back to his senses and explained:
"Sir Huck, they are indeed our people, but they are not the same kind of people."
"What do you mean by you and us? Can you explain it more clearly?" Huck was even more confused.
"Ven." Humphrey muttered, "Explain it in some words that LES can understand."
Huck: "......."
Oxford is amazing!
10Five minutes later, Huck and the other two heard the whole story and finally understood what was going on. They were shocked as if their worldview had been shattered.
Wayne secretly took a picture with his magic camera and kept it as a souvenir.
"Ancient civilization, a world outside the world, my Victoria, is this true?"
"Then..." Huck's lips were trembling, "Then can I really see God?"
"Who knows?" Wayne was noncommittal. So far, the most violent places in the world include the Holy See. That palm-sized place has been shining with holy light for a whole night, and no one knows what happened.
Wayne explained his purpose, "The exposure of the magic world is inevitable, or it has been completely exposed. We can't control these newcomers at all now."
"Mr. Prime Minister, it's up to you to turn the tide and make a bold decision."
Huck straightened his back, "Bold, I like this word."
But he soon became weak again, "But will they recognize my courage? A bunch of freaks, no, Earl Lawrence, I'm not talking about you, you will always be the Queen's best subject, I mean... what can I do?"
"Of course, there are too many things you can do, and they are very important." Wayne said seriously: "The people are in panic, and wizards are also wary of Muggles... If they are not handled well, a war will break out."
Huck loosened his tie irritably, and the huge pressure made him breathless.
"You should be aware of the seriousness of the problem. This afternoon, I will explain to the House of Commons what wizards are and what the Ministry of Magic is. Let them know that there are more than 20,000 unarmed people who can burst out more terrifying destructive power than guns at any time, and have all kinds of strange abilities. This is a huge threat to national security, and no one can face it calmly."
"Lord Lawrence, you should stand on our side--"
"I have always stood on your side." Wayne interrupted him, "or rather, I have always stood on the side of humans, but wizards are also humans."
"They are also humans? What is the basis of the paper? Have you published SCI?" Huck muttered.
"Prime Minister." Humphrey reminded: "Please pay attention to the wording. The Lawrence family is a noble family with a thousand years of meritorious service."
"Can you automatically exclude him next time? I'm talking about others."
"Everything I do is to avoid war." Wayne interrupted the two people's flirting, "If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, the final outcome will only be a lose-lose situation."
Seeing that Huck still didn't believe it, Wayne sighed, his figure flashed, and his arm was already on him.
"I'm sorry, Prime Minister."
"Uncle, I need to let Huck understand what a real wizard is."
After that, the two disappeared in the office.
"I've said it many times, you have to call your position outside!" Humphrey shouted, looking at him with a fake smile.to Bernard who was already in a state of panic.
"Excuse me, Bernard. Please sit with me for a while before the two of them come back."
Bernard swallowed his saliva when he saw his boss laughing so horribly, and dared not act rashly.
On the other side, Wayne did not take Harker too far, but came to the Leaky Cauldron not far away, and entered Diagon Alley through the stone wall in the backyard like ordinary wizards.
Due to the turmoil that happened yesterday, there were fewer tourists in Diagon Alley, but there were many more Aurors.
At least two teams of Aurors patrolled the streets to prevent people with ulterior motives from inciting emotions. Although they did not know the origins of those ancient wizards, it was obvious that these people did not take the protection law to heart at all.
"Wizards gather in the center of London?" Harker could not understand the signs on the storefronts, but he understood the meaning of Wayne bringing him here.
"Yes, this place has existed even longer than the history of Britain."
The two of them just walked to Ollivander's Wand Shop, and Huck saw the small words on the shabby sign - Ollivander: Making fine wands since 382 BC.
"I have never seen the name of this street on a map."
"Wizards have a lot of hidden magic." Wayne said, "If I hadn't brought you in, you wouldn't have noticed the existence of the Leaky Cauldron, and the whole street is located on a piece of disappeared land."
"If wizards and ordinary people really go to war, the police? They can't find the place at all, the army? That's possible, but they must use large-yield artillery shells and missiles to bombard, or even... use Trident?"
"How is it possible!" Huck lost his voice, "How can I order the use of intercontinental missiles in the center of London? What's more, that thing has never been successfully tested, even artillery shells are impossible. If I really do this, my political enemies and even subordinates will be crazy happy!"
Wayne nodded secretly 0 .........
Although Huck was pushed to the position of prime minister by the civil servants, after all, he has been the prime minister for so many years and has his own talents. This sensitivity and brain are still there.
Suddenly, Huck stopped in front of Lawrence Bank, his face became very strange.
"Your business... is quite extensive."
"It's my old business. I just wanted to open a bank to benefit the public." Wayne's face remained unchanged. Huck glanced at him and silently made some assessment of Wayne's influence in the magic world.
As the Prime Minister, he certainly understood how deep the financial industry is.
If you want to open a bank, financial power is indispensable in any world.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Ministry of Magic again."
This time Wayne took Huck to the red telephone booth and entered the Ministry of Magic through the most formal channel. There were very few office staff left in the ministry, but Wayne took Huck to visit each department.
"On weekdays, there are about 1,100 employees working here, plus those who come from outside to do business., it can be said that this place, Diagon Alley, and Hogwarts where I am, are the three major gathering places for wizards in the British wizarding world. "
"In addition, 20,000 people are scattered all over the country. If a war really breaks out, do you think that wizards can be completely eradicated without paying a heavy price?"
Huck's face became uncertain. This is both a fact and a threat.
The existence of wizards has been deeply rooted in their society. There is no distinction between them. To eliminate wizards is to cut off a piece of meat from the weak giant of Britain.
Even if the prime minister is more courageous, even if Fatty Qiu is resurrected, he dare not easily make a decision to tear his face.
This is also Wayne's reliance.
Wizards are afraid of going to war with Muggles and eventually being exterminated. How can Muggles not be afraid of war?
During the First and Second World Wars, this country still had some elite policies, barely maintaining the last afterglow of the British Empire, but now, the internal strife alone is enough to make the dog brain They were beaten out, and it was impossible for them to deal with wizards reasonably. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Lawrence wants magic, and he also wants technology.
Since the integration and exchange of the two worlds are inevitable, the initiative and rhythm of the integration must also be in his hands.
Under the condition that there is no threat to him, let magic and technology combine to benefit mankind and promote the prosperity of the whole world.
This is the ideal future world of 0.5 Wayne.
While thinking, Wayne remained calm, but smiled: "Mr. Prime Minister, let's go back, don't let my uncle and Mr. Bernard wait anxiously. "
After saying that, he led Huck to the public fireplace.
This was the last trump card he showed.
Constantinople.
An old man who was so ugly that people doubted whether he had fully evolved sat on a bench, his eyes closed, and his old face was full of wrinkles.
Next to him, there was a short and fat middle-aged man with a wretched appearance, looking at him tremblingly.
"Lord Slytherin, that's all I know."
"Before Lord Tom died, he said that you would definitely come back to avenge him, and then... let me hide."
"Avenge him?"
Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Hogwarts and one of the four giants, chuckled in an incomprehensible way.[]
"It's just a descendant of who knows how many generations. If he dies, he dies. Do you have the qualifications for me to take action? "
Peter Pettigrew's face turned pale, and he stammered and dared not speak, but Slytherin's next words made him feel relieved.
"But...you stole my wand and occupied Hogwarts, so I have to settle this account."
"Lawrence...has already been killed." .
