MTL - Harry Potter: Hello the Dark Lord-Chapter 13 Old Welfare Advice

The Welfare Castle is really not that big. Under the leadership of the old butler, Mr. Tosta Warren, Qin Weijie went to the banquet hall with the old Marquis of Welfare.

After walking for nearly 20 minutes, the three people came to the banquet hall.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Qin Weijie couldn't help slandering to himself: Will Lao Fuli get lost in the castle when he goes back to his bedroom to sleep one night? It's still interesting to think about.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the banquet hall, the melodious music entered Qin Weijie's ears. Apart from being luxurious, there are no words to describe the resplendent banquet hall.

Anyway, Qin Weijie was accustomed to the prodigal family of the Welfare family. He had already expected such a grand event. After all, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

Seeing Marquis Old Foley coming in, the guests at the banquet moved away one after another, standing on both sides of the red carpet of the banquet, watching Old Foley drag Qin Weijie to the banquet hall.

When he stepped onto the stage, Lao Fuli was still not angry and proud. He took the lead to look around the banquet hall for a week. All the music and voices stopped abruptly, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage.

At this time, Qin Weijie also quietly estimated the number of people present. Looking around, Nima had at least four or five hundred people coming to the house to eat and drink. Fortunately, the banquet hall was relatively large, so four or five hundred people did not seem crowded.

"Thank you for your invitation," the old Marquis of Welfare said. "Today's banquet is not a serious occasion, but to celebrate my little grandson, Vijay Qin Yuan, who came to England across the ocean."

Hearing Lao Welfare's introduction, Qin Weijie couldn't help but look at Lao Welfare. He didn't force himself to change his name. What is this? Do you please me?

"As you all know, a lot of things have happened to the Welfare family over the years, and now there is only Vijay, the immediate heir left in the family. Today is just for him to meet and get to know you. After all, we still need everyone in the future. a help, isn't it?"

The guests under the stage all laughed noncommittally, but to be honest, Qin Weijie really didn't think there was anything funny.

Is this the cold humor of the British?

"Of course..." The old Marquis of Welfare suddenly changed his words, "I also want to remind some people, take care of your own black hands, don't touch the head of the welfare golden lion, be careful that the lion is furious and swallows some people... Believe me, The Foley family is crazier than ever before."

The old Marquis of Welfare's voice was hoarse and low, and the killing intent could clearly be heard from his voice. Qin Weijie couldn't help but feel that the air around him was a few degrees colder.

The guests present were also silent, and no one dared to look directly into the eyes of Lao Fu at this time.

"Mr. Clayton Selwyn, bring those two guys up!" Old Foley said to a gloomy old man under the stage.

At this time, Qin Weijie turned his eyes to the old man named Clayton Selwyn. The man's face was gloomy, his eyes were slightly squinted, and his eyebrows had extremely deep wrinkles. But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people an indescribable sense of sinfulness.

The old man, Clayton, was wearing a simple black dress and leaning on a cane in his hand. The head of the cane was a ferocious bat. He himself was like a huge bat.

Clayton Selwyn waved his hand casually, and the four strong men behind him turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Cough cough~ August, you have to thank me well, these two guys are not easy to catch... cough cough" Clayton Selwyn's voice was old, and the gloomy and depressed voice sounded extremely uncomfortable. .

"The Welfare Family will pay you a price you are satisfied with."

"Jie Jie~ I just like doing business with the Welfare family..." Clayton Selwyn said, looking at Qin Weijie, "Little Weijie, I hope to continue doing business with you in the future."

"Of course, that's my honor."

Not long after, four big men came in with two guys in strange clothes. These two guys were obviously tortured. The nails on both hands had been pulled out, the palms were still nailed with steel nails, and the teeth were full of mouth. They were all knocked off, their noses collapsed, their eyes were gouged out, and their hair was also pulled out...

To be honest, it's a miracle that these two people are still alive.

How come the guests present have seen this kind of battle? Many ladies have already fainted from fright, and many men can't stand it anymore.

"These are the two bishops of the Church of the Goddess of Death. The evil incident that happened in Diagon Alley more than a month ago was planned by them. They intended to assassinate my grandson Weijie. Although it was unsuccessful, it caused a lot of damage. Losses, at least five innocent wizards were killed by mistake, and fifteen shops were damaged."

"Today, I asked them to meet you in this way, just to see your performance and see if it was some of you who hired them."

Old Foley's voice was strong and unmistakable. At this time, he also began to look at the guests under the stage.

Almost all the guests lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Old Welfare, or even to breathe.

"Of course, I believe that the murderer will not be among you. After all, you are all distinguished friends of the Welfare family. I still hope that everyone can help Vijay a lot in the future. After all, he is still young, and he will inevitably go to your place in the future to study, Travel, play, and I hope you can take care of it."

"If Vijay is unfortunate enough to encounter an accident in a friend's realm, it's probably an unbearable pain for the Welfare family. Maybe the accident will come soon afterward. After all, things are impermanent."

Threat, the threat of Chi Guoguo.

The subtext of the old welfare is already obvious.

My grandson, no matter where you are, as long as there is an accident on any one of you, the Welfare family will make your entire family disappear from the earth the next day.

Old Welfare's hand can be regarded as a layer of insurance for Qin Weijie, at least these people don't dare to think about it now.

"But what if someone hires a killer to kill me in someone else's realm?" Qin Weijie secretly complained in his heart.

Qin Weijie glanced casually at the guests present, a short old man wearing a pointed wizard hat, gorgeously dressed, aged in his 60s or 70s, or older, caught Qin Weijie's attention.

The old man was holding a handkerchief and wiping his sweat.

The sweaty one looked like he was wearing a padded jacket in dog days, but looking at the man's expression, it was obvious that he was not hot, but was sweating coldly.

Looking at the old man again, a familiar figure was standing there.

Professor Dumbledore.

At this time, Dumbledore also looked at the gorgeously dressed old man with a wry smile.

Qin Weijie just remembered that he had been looking up information about the magical world during this period of time, and had seen the old man's photo more than once on the Daily Prophet.

The current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Armando Dippet.

"Poor principal, it wasn't me who cheated on you, it was my grandfather who cheated on you."

Qin Weijie's heart not only did not fluctuate, he even wanted to laugh.

After some creepy threats, the banquet finally entered a normal track.

Everyone should eat, drink, chat, and brag.

"Grindelwald has gathered followers in Europe, I can't believe Hector is still unmoved!"

"Have you heard? That Squib Hitler actually annexed Austria and gave a speech on the so-called bloodline on Heroes' Square. It's ridiculous..."

"Grindelwald is a hateful villain. He used to win over his followers with 'pure blood supremacy', 'magic and power' and 'repeal of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act', but now what? He has deviated from his original intention! "

"I'm sure that the Spanish Republic camp won't last long, and they will be defeated by Franco in a few months at most."

"The UK can't be like this anymore. The policy of appeasement will only cause the situation in Europe to get out of control. The Ministry of Magic also needs to face up to the situation in the whole of Europe. Whether it is Hitler or Grindelwald, they will suffer the consequences..."

The topics of the men at the banquet were basically focused on the analysis of the situation. Everyone had their own opinions, and of course they were only limited to opinions.

But there was a name that caught Qin Weijie's attention during the conversation.

Hector, Hector Foley, the current Minister of Magic.

In fact, Qin Weijie had no interest in him, just noticed his surname, Welfare, and another person with the surname of Welfare.

Qin Weijie actually knew early on that although the immediate heirs of the Welfare family, except him, all died of black magic.

But there are a lot of collateral relatives. Although they have no inheritance rights, they are also surnamed Welfare, and the Welfare family will also give them certain guarantees. This Hector Welfare is one of them.

"The Minister of Magic couldn't be bought by that guy, right? It's very likely, this is in line with the welfare family's approach, it's very welfare..."

While thinking about it, Lao Fu called Qin Weijie to his side, and pointed to a squat middle-aged uncle to introduce him.

"Vijay, this is Hector Foley, the current Minister of Magic, his father is my cousin, and he is also your uncle."

Old Foley did not ask Qin Weijie to call Hector Foley Mr. Minister, but asked Qin Weijie to call him his uncle. It is conceivable that the authority of this Mr. Minister does not seem to affect the Welfare family at all.

"Hello, Uncle Hector." Qin Weijie greeted politely.

"Master Vijay doesn't need to be so outspoken, we are all a family, I think you have reached the age to study at Hogwarts, and I look forward to your graduation from Hogwarts. I will definitely recommend you to the Ministry of Magic. I think with your talent, it won't take long for you to become a department head-level figure. Of course, if you like politics, I believe that you can become the Minister of Magic before the age of 30. After all, there are members of our welfare family. The pedigree in this regard.”

Hector Foley is obviously very talkative, and his whole person is also very enthusiastic, but Qin Weijie can always hear some feeling of showing off from his words.

It was obvious that Lao Fuli didn't like him very much, so after a hasty introduction, he took Qin Weijie towards Armando Dippet not far away.

"Mr. Dippet, you don't look very good~" said Old Foley in a low voice.

Qin Weijie said to himself: Your face turned white with fright.

"It's okay, it's okay~" Armando Dippet smiled apologetically

"Vijay, this is Mr. Armando Dippet, the headmaster of Hogwarts. You will be studying at Hogwarts in a few months. You must obey Mr. Headmaster, you know? ?"

"Understood, Grandpa." Qin Weijie responded obediently, with the face of a filial son and a worthy grandson, and the grandfather called out loudly, not to mention being too affectionate.

"Vijay Qin... Mr. Vijay Foley must be one of the best students ever at Hogwarts. Listening to Albus tell me, he is very talented, right, Albus?"

Armando said and looked at Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded, and then asked, "I don't know which academy you plan to enter?"

In Qin Weijie's view, Dumbledore's neither humble nor arrogant attitude is more like a principal, while Armando seems to be too easily influenced by others.

"Academy? I haven't thought about it yet. Let's see the sorting hat distribution."

Qin Weijie said casually, exchanged a few words with Principal Dippet, and left with Lao Fuli.

This time, Lao Fu was not in a hurry to take Qin Weijie to meet new people, but casually walked to the dining table, picked up a glass of white wine for himself, and handed Qin Weijie a glass of juice.

"I just talked about the academy, do you have a favorite academy?"

"It's all the same, I'm very casual, Gryffindor needs courage, I don't think I'm short of it, and I can accept red uniforms; Slytherin is not bad, I think I have a chance to get in, there's a lot to make friends there Friends, but I don't seem to know much about drilling camps, but it doesn't matter;

Hufflepuffs have integrity and honesty, a rare quality, and I think I'll have a good time with my classmates there, and I've heard that their lounge is close to the kitchen, which is a good place; Ravenclaw, Except that it is a bit troublesome to answer the brain teasers when entering the door, everything else is good, the eagle of the academy totem is also very beautiful, and the blue school uniform is also good. "

Qin Weijie expressed his opinions indifferently, but Lao Fuli's face became more ugly the more he listened to it.

"Can't you be assertive? Make a decision that you can be responsible for!" Lao Welfare is a strong person, so his demands on his children and grandchildren must also be strong.

"Uh... Old man, don't be angry, I'll just choose one! Let's go to Gryffindor!"

"Why!?" Old Fufu's face was even more ugly, and he didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Gryffindor or Qin Weijie's attitude.

"Gryffindor's academy totem is a lion, and the totem of the Foley family is also a lion. I think you should want me to choose a lion."

Qin Weijie said, with an expression like 'good, don't be angry, I'm accommodating your opinion', as if he was coaxing old Welfare.

"How can the reckless lion in Gryffindor be compared to the golden lion in our family!" Old Foley drank inexplicably angrily.

Qin Weijie shrugged: "Hehe, I knew that you, such a strong old man, said on the surface that he wanted me to have an opinion and be stronger, but as long as I dare to make a strong and reckless decision, you will dare to veto it. Let's not waste time. Now, you said, which college do you want me to choose?"

"Except for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, you can do whatever you want with the other two academies." Old Foley was also slightly embarrassed, pretending to be majestic.

"why?"

"Didn't you see the current situation?"

"Does this have anything to do with the situation?"

"Grindelwald is making waves in Europe, the Muggle world is not peaceful, and the wizarding world is about to usher in chaos. If it were normal, I would not object to your choice of Gryffindor, but in this situation, Gryffindor That kind of reckless atmosphere can easily affect you, and I don't want you to go to the battlefield in a hurry. As for Hufflepuffs, it's purely a matter of personal preference, I don't like Hufflepuffs."

Old Fufu said arrogantly, at least in Qin Weijie's eyes, this is arrogance.

"Strong, invincible! The reason is great. If you don't like being domineering enough, you have no choice." Qin Weijie shook his head: "Let's see later, I will consider your opinion."
