At this moment, the entire base was filled with an atmosphere of panic.
A large number of soldiers holding rifles ran across the open space towards the dust cloud in the distance. Panic shouting filled the camp, as if it was everywhere.
The armed helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. parked all around did not give them any sense of security.
Toby looked around and soon saw the director sitting under a tree on the left side of the two-story office building opposite.
As he strode closer with his men, Toby heard him squatting in the shade of a tree, mumbling with lifeless eyes.
"Is he threatening me?
No, it's not a threat. He can easily kill me like squeezing an ant. This is a friendly warning...
I will die..."
“Mr. Director.
Mr. Director?
Mr. Director!"
As Toby's tone gradually rose, the director's confused eyes finally focused and he raised his head slightly: "Who are you?"
Are you scared crazy?
Toby looked at her doubtfully, and seeing that she was not acting, he said straight to the point: "We need to take Ms. Rowling away, immediately!"
"Law Lin?" After repeating the sentence a few times, the director seemed to regain his sanity and his tone became normal. "It's in the third room on the left on the second floor."
Looking at Toby's back as he turned and walked towards the building, he stood up abruptly and emphasized: "I didn't do anything inappropriate or offensive!"
Toby paused for a few seconds and continued walking forward, saying, "You need to explain this to Mr. Dumbledore yourself."
Toby quickly went upstairs and came to the door of the room the director mentioned. He turned the handle and found it was locked.
"I come."
Lineker waved his hand to signal Toby to move aside: "Ms. Rowling inside, please be safe, I'm going to kick the door!"
"Ok sir."
There was a response from inside the house, and Ryan no longer hesitated and kicked open the door.
Melody, with an excited look on her face, and Rowling, with an elegant smile on her face, stood side by side by the window.
Seeing the people coming in one after another, Luo Lin waved her hand and said, "Please come and pick me up, gentlemen."
Toby was stunned when he walked into the room: "You knew we were coming?"
"Grandpa told me."
Hearing this, Toby and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Dumbledore acquiesced to his act of picking up the person, it meant that MI6's actions did not completely anger the Hogwarts headmaster.
Toby was about to ask Dumbledore if he had said anything else, but was interrupted by the satellite phone in his pocket suddenly ringing.
Take out the phone and answer it.
“Director.
No, it wasn't an earthquake, it was magic.
Yes, the huge rock was not moved from somewhere else, but appeared out of thin air above his head, just like the jumping video screen, in just a blink of an eye.
OK, I understand! "
The phone was slightly away from his ear, and Toby smiled and said to Rowling: “Ms. Rowling, please avoid restless citizens interfering with your normal life.
We can provide you with a quiet place to stay, and of course, there will be no private surveillance.
If you don't want to, we can set up a blockade within a certain range of your villa.
It all depends on your own wishes.”
Rowling didn't think the other party was exaggerating.
The huge rock that just fell to the ground must have been filmed by a passing car nearby, and it would have been impossible to hide it from the citizens of the kingdom.
The existence of Hogwarts naturally cannot be concealed. As the only person with a definite connection with wizards, he will inevitably be pursued madly by those who hope to become wizards.
So she nodded and said, "Let's go to the place you provide. Can my bestie come with us?"
"of course."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Toby put the satellite phone in his hand close to his ear: "You heard it, that's it, we will return to Lundun immediately."
……
"The secret villa is ready. The address is..."
After reporting the address, the director sitting on the right side of the U-shaped conference table put down the phone and looked at the queen at the head: "Your Majesty..."
"Shh..." The white-haired queen raised her index finger to her lips, signaling the director not to speak.
His eyes never moved, staring straight at the laptop in front of him.
After more than ten minutes, she turned her gaze to the director and pointed at the screen: "So, this scary big rock is magic?"
"Well...Based on the evidence we have so far, there is no other possibility."
The queen held the mouse and dragged the progress bar. The rapidly rewinding picture stopped at an old man sitting in the driver's seat of a classic car, looking up at the sky.
"He's not looking up at the sky, he's staring at me." The Queen looked at the old man on the screen.
"Hogwarts? Magic? Dumbledore?
How long did he live?"
The Queen's tone was as if she was talking to herself, but the very perceptive Director quickly replied: "It is impossible to determine the exact age.
However, according to the first leaked video and the description in the original novel, it is at least 200 years old. "
"Has he always looked like this?"
"Uh, I don't know."
"Magician... so desirable..." the queen murmured, her lips opening and closing.
"Knock knock—" there was knock on the door of the conference room.
"Come in."
An old man in a tuxedo pushed open the door and said, “Your Majesty, several princes are waiting for your summons in the reception room.
In addition, the American ambassador to Ying..."
"Heh." The queen laughed, "Doesn't it look like a group of vultures smelling the stench of a rotting corpse?"
The director knew she was asking him: "Just as Her Majesty the Queen described it."
"I will delay them. You need to gather all the interview letters or the lucky ones who have received interview letters in the shortest possible time."
Fearing that the director might do something out of line, she solemnly instructed: "Do not force those lucky ones to join the Super Power Bureau, or deprive them of their qualifications as new students through various means.
I don't want to wake up tomorrow with a kingdom-destroying boulder hovering over my head, understand?"
"I'll do it right away!" The director stood up, saluted, turned around and strode away.
……
Watching Rowling get into the jeep, the convoy left the military base and disappeared into the horizon along the asphalt road.
Zhang Mu, floating in the air, stretched lazily.
"Almost done. Also..."
Looking at the dissipated dust, the situation was no longer there, and there was only a huge hole on the ground that looked like a meteorite crater, proving that the boulder was not an illusion, but really existed.
“I guess they don’t dare to mess around.
Well... probably all the citizens of London will go to catch owls, the government will definitely get involved, and it won't take long for the new students to be recruited."
Zhang Mu pinched his chin and thought that he had to go back to Lundun to take care of it.
The selection of freshmen is not a matter of luck.
First of all, it is identity, which must include all classes and occupations to ensure that people feel that all are equal.
This is to reflect the transcendence of Hogwarts.
Then, there must be official people.
Because Zhang Mu needs a channel to leak the news to the authorities, Toby is a good choice.
What else... Thinking about it, Zhang Mu felt a little headache.
There can't be too many people. If there are too many, it will be difficult to control them, but if there are too few, it will be impossible to take care of all aspects.
"Let's go back to Lundun and see what happens. The city is probably full of citizens holding net bags."
Shaking his head, Zhang Mu flew towards Lun Dun while the effect of the levitation potion was still there.
Chapter 151 New students are recruited and meet
Zhang Mu, who returned to Lundun using shadow magic, was not going to spend too much time selecting candidates.
Floating high in the sky, overlooking the city where order has fallen into chaos, not only ordinary citizens, office workers, etc. are not in the mood to work, even some civil servants working in official departments are carrying net bags and looking for owls in the streets.
The latter, after Zhang Mu visited the portal website, realized that he was the one who went crazy after throwing all the stones.
The post on the homepage of the website is an aerial photo of the huge crater. It is estimated that it was taken by a flying enthusiast who noticed the vibrations and dust in the suburbs and ran to take the photo.
Zhang Mu's move displayed a power that could destroy the world. How could an ordinary person keep calm?
Not to mention ordinary people, judging from the endless stream of cars entering the Queen's residence, the so-called elites are obviously the same.
"Let's put an end to this chaos as soon as possible."
Zhang Mu discovered that some people in the city were taking advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters, so he searched for Owl and happened to have a free purchase, thinking that he had to put an end to the chaos as soon as possible.
First, he controlled 2000 owls and used a weakened version of lightning that was hurtful but not fatal, to knock down all the smart guys who had bought them for zero yuan.
Then he flew around the city high above, looking for seekers who didn't have a net bag and who had a more sincere attitude.
Soon most people had lost their minds and had taken out nets, bows and crossbows and other things. But after all, there was a city of people where calm individuals could still be found.
