Chapter 200 Three-Party Competition

"Dita Birao..."

Barry looked at the young man in front of him whom he had met several times, his expression was still calm, but he could already see a hint of discomfort.

"We are performing our official duties normally. The two people in front of us may be related to a fatal accident on the cruise ship. We cannot ignore this matter."

His attitude made Luke's eyes move.

Just now Dita Billo called this Auror 'Director Barry', which means that this is at least a deputy director of the Auror Office.What does this mean?

A deputy director, in the presence of one of Tripcard's butlers, and possibly his valets, showed cowardice...

Although it may also be a matter of personality, but...is the Tripcard family so arrogant?

Luke looked at everything in front of him with great interest. At this moment, he really discovered the difference between the British magic aristocrats and the American magic aristocrats.

The former is to hold all the important positions of the government in their own hands.There are even many positions, such as the position of the master of the Auror office, if you do not have a noble status, or devote yourself to a certain noble, then it is impossible to sit on it.

But judging from the hostility between the two people in front of them, there are... considerable anti-noble forces in the Magic Congress of America?

Maybe the power isn't particularly strong yet, but it definitely exists.And it exists on the surface.

Luke found his guess quite interesting.It looks like there may be some unexpected rewards from this trip to the United States.

"Oh, who is the dead person?"

Dita Birao asked aggressively.

"This is confidential and has nothing to do with you."

The Auror behind Barry spoke first, with barely concealed hostility in his tone.

But Dita Birao didn't even look at him, just stared at Barry.

"Director Barry, please do not waste the time of our distinguished guests. Mr. Tripcard is still waiting."

Dita Birao glanced at his pocket watch, urging with a hint of impatience in his tone.

He felt that he had given Barry enough face.After all, he hasn't taken the two of them directly.

Barry frowned, not looking at Luke and Dumbledore aside.The best situation now is naturally that Dumbledore and Luke take the initiative to follow them.In this case, the people of the Tripcard family can't say anything.

But from the first questioning by the other party, after the two people did not come out to help him out, he understood that he could not rely on these two people in this matter after all.

Actually understandable.One is the headmaster of Hogwarts, the most powerful white wizard in the entire wizarding world.One is the great nobleman of England.It can be said that the two of them agreed to him at the beginning and went to accept the investigation together, which can already be said to have given the Magic Society enough face.It also means that the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

But now, another local snake wants to seek justice for the two powerful dragons, and it is normal for the two to sit on the sidelines.

Of course, Luke will not help Barry out of the siege right now, he just wants to see the power comparison between the Magic Congress and the American magic aristocracy.As for Dumbledore, he didn't even look at him, not knowing what he was waiting for.

So everyone on the field did not speak, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

However, this situation was finally broken by a call.

"Professor Dumbledore! Mr. Gaunt!"

A clear female voice sounded from not far away, and from a distance, everyone saw the woman trotting over.Both Dita Birao and Barry's expressions changed.Obviously this person's arrival was within their expectations, but this timing was indeed beyond their expectations.

The woman finally came close, and after recovering her breath, she held out her hand to Dumbledore.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore, it's an honor to meet you. My name is Miranda Calle, the secretary of Principal Agilbert."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Culler." Dumbledore said politely.

Then, Miranda reached out to Luke again.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Gunter. Thank you for agreeing to our invitation."

Luke looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, nodded with a smile, and held her hand: "Thank you for your invitation, too. I'm really curious about the situation here."

Miranda smiled and nodded.Originally, she should have taken the two of them directly to the school now.but now……

"Director Barry, Mr. Bilow, hello." She greeted the two of them first, and then said seriously: "Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Gunter came to the United States at the invitation of our Principal Agilbert , according to the etiquette, we should receive it."

She had actually been watching it for a while.And choosing this time to appear is to find that being involved at this time is beneficial to everyone.

It's not a day or two that some people in the Magic Congress and the nobles don't see each other well.Now the two of them are competing for the top spot, which is actually not beneficial to anyone.

Her appearance is a step for both parties.

So when she said this, she was also full of confidence. It was obvious that she had agreed, and the others would definitely agree.

And the expressions of Dita Birao and Barry who were lost in thought also clearly explained the function of her plan.If there were no accidents, the current situation should be for her to take the two of them to the Infamony Academy of Magic and Magic first, and everyone will take care of the rest later.

Infinity Academy of Magic and Magic upholds a relatively neutral position.Let it take people away, whether it is the Magic Congress or the nobles, it is acceptable, and it is not a loss of face.

In fact, Barry didn't care much, although he said that this time he came to lead people in person.But he was already prepared to be rejected by both Luke and Dumbledore.Now it's just going back to the worst situation I originally expected, and it's not too difficult.

"I'm OK."

Barry said with a smile, and then looked at Dita Birao on the other side with a smile on his face.

He knew very well that of course he didn't have to care. It was impossible for this kind of investigation itself to really find out about these two people.Even if it is really found out, so what?

If these two people wanted to run away, the entire Magic Congress of America might not be able to stop them.

But Dita Birao is different. To put it bluntly, Barry is a part-time worker, earning so many Galleons every week, what kind of life is he playing!

But if Dita Birao didn't risk his life, it is really possible that he would die.

The current choice is actually good for everyone, even if it is a little embarrassing, he can barely teach it when he goes back.But if the trouble continues and everyone's faces look ugly, then it's uncertain what Dita Birao will face when he goes back.

After being silent for a long time, he nodded, and then he was about to answer... But, the accident happened again.

"I'm serious, if you don't have a reason to take us, Mr. Barry, then we might be visiting friends."

Luke's voice made everyone stunned for a moment, and then looked different.

They looked at Luke who had just spoken, now with a polite and distant smile on his face.

"We also have friends here. She heard that I was going to come to the United States, and she promised to receive me early in the morning. I am very grateful to Mr. Tripcard and Principal Egilbert for their invitation, but now I am afraid that I still have to go with me. It’s better to go to lunch with friends first.”

Luke said politely to the three of them.

Of course, it can only be regarded as having done all the etiquette that should be done.To say how much apology there is... this is really not necessarily the case.

Dumbledore stood beside Luke and didn't speak, but he obviously had the same idea as Luke.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly realized that what they were fighting for was not some dead object.But two real people.Two of them are competing to receive the two of them, but this does not mean that the other party must accept their 'good intentions'.It is not a tool to show each other's strength.

Obviously, what they did made the handsome, gentle and sunny boy lose his patience.

Miranda looked embarrassed.This was a task entrusted to her by the headmaster, and now it seemed that she could not say that she had not completed this task very successfully, only that it might have had the opposite effect.

Dita Birao turned pale instantly.For him, Luke's reaction was an expression of displeasure with him.It is equivalent to embarrassing Tripcard in front of Luke...

Barry and the Auror behind him were stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said: "No problem, please give us an address after the two of you settle down, after all, we still have to go through the process. .”

He knew very well from the beginning that this matter must go through the process.Seriously, if Dita Billow hadn't insisted on using him as a raft to show the strength of the Tripcard family, then this incident would never have happened.

Well, something happened now, making people unhappy.Let's see who the unlucky person will be now.

Barry sneered inwardly.

After Luke finished speaking, a tall and strong man came again from the other direction.

"His Royal Highness Luke!"

Arthur walked to Luke's side in a deterrent manner, and bowed to Luke to salute.

On the tough face, there was a coldness and a prestige without anger.But his voice is so soft, giving people a special sense of contrast.

"Master Alice is already waiting for you."

Luke nodded, and then looked at Dumbledore: "Professor, are you going to find Alice with me? Or go to Mr. Scamander first?"

Dumbledore thought for a moment, and then said, "Newt and I were supposed to meet at night."

He turned to look at Arthur.

"Mr. Arthur, don't you suggest that I have lunch?"

Arthur's pig-iron face actually showed a warm smile like a spring breeze.

"Of course, Miss Alice also wants to see you very much. I was just worried that it would cause inconvenience to your visit, so I didn't take the initiative to invite you. Please forgive me."

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

After the three people here had a brief chat, Luke said to Miranda, Dita Birao and the two Aurors over there.

"Sorry, thank you for your enthusiasm. We will discuss the visit with Mr. Tripcard and Principal Egilbert in the future. Of course, we will also cooperate with the Auror Office to conduct investigations."

The three parties over there have nothing else to say, they can only nod silently.

And after taking the three of Luke away.Barry glanced at Miranda and Dita Birao with a smile, and stopped the younger brother who wanted to speak.He left with a smile.

As for the remaining two people, their brows were tightly furrowed, and they didn't know how to turn around and explain for a while.

…………

Somewhere on an unknown beach, a wizard held a magic wand, carefully testing the way ahead.

There is a large reef stall here.One of his teammates was killed by a sea snake attack.It stands to reason that with the protection of magic, he shouldn't die so quickly.But it just happened, without even giving him much time to react.

Not only did he fail to save his teammates, but he may even lose his own life now.

"It's obviously just a small fish."

He said bitterly, but his demeanor was still extremely calm.The body gradually walked towards the edge of the reef beach.He can't go on like this.Must leave now, the fish is small though.But her strength should not be underestimated.

All in all, he has to leave now, and think long-term, whether it is to find another teammate to act together, or to give up the mission and be punished.In short, if I stay alone now, I may die.

The expression on his face was quite dignified, and it could even be said that he was a little panic-stricken.

From the crevice of the stone, a sea snake suddenly jumped out, opened its mouth wide and bit towards him.He waved the magic wand in his hand and instantly turned the sea snake into a cloud of blood mist.

Before he could relax, a sense of crisis came from behind him.He subconsciously unfolded the armor behind his back.

But the center of gravity of the armor body is placed behind.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw the reef not far in front of him.

A mermaid girl is sitting here, her eyes are full of cold killing intent.

She looked at the panicked man in front of her, without any compassion in her eyes.

"no no……"

The terrified man of the wizard shouted in fear, but before the third one could exit, a huge water column appeared in front of him, and the water column turned into a flowing water blade almost instantly.The water blade raised the knife and fell, and the wizard was split in half.

The mermaid girl had a little tiredness on her face.From the tail flicked on the reef, the whole person jumped up, and then fell into the water.

"Eat them."

Following her order, among the numerous reefs, small crabs rushed out from the gaps in the reefs and from under the beach.They divided into two waves, and one wave rushed towards the two half corpses over there along the bloody water.

The other wave was heading in another direction, and another corpse surrounded them.

After a while, there were only two sets of bones left.

And the crabs buried the two bones very intimately.

So the beach has become like nothing happened.

The mermaid girl watched the traces in front of her eyes being wiped clean, then buried her head in the sea water and spit bubbles.

Feeling the exhaustion of his body, Randy finally shook his head helplessly.

"We still have to find help."

"I don't know if the old man's words are still worth talking about."

After she finished muttering, she took out a small conch from her necklace and played with it in her hand.

His expression was cloudy and uncertain.
