Chapter 357 Choice and concession
It is good to make more friends. In the chaos of a missing warrior and two warriors claiming to have seen the Dark Lord and a dead person, Mikhail Komiuwaf took the opportunity to have a few words with Ariane Lind, who was hurriedly traveling between Hogwarts Castle, the reporter tent and the Durmstrang wooden ship, and was able to quickly sort out the current situation.
Because they were all young people, and they were all young people who were discriminated against invisibly in the workplace and in the principal's circle, Mikhail also needed to express his gratitude to Alian for her public support and argument for Kodosdoriz's entry into the championship. They had two or three pleasant chats during the championship. In Mikhail's opinion, the only thing missing between them was an opportunity to deepen their interests.
This is actually the only springboard he can grasp now. Zhou Yushi, the person he asked for help at the beginning, is a loach. This person is slippery and can be mixed up anywhere but can never be caught. Zhou Yushi can help him lobby, but it is absolutely impossible for him to introduce him to Riddle. According to Zhou Yushi, this behavior will be "playing tricks on oneself."
Zhou Yushi helped him lobby, but the person who achieved what he expected was Ellian Lind. Even though Ellian never showed any signs of being on Riddle's team, Mikhail knew that she was Riddle's hidden weapon in the Ministry of Magic.
Many times, hidden spies are more useful than open attackers, not to mention those hidden spies who remain in the power organs.
And this hidden spies just told him in two or three sentences that 'Minister Fudge believes that the Dark Lord is a liar', and hinted to him vaguely that 'peace and tranquility is what everyone hopes for', but there was no judgment on the truth or falsehood of what happened today in his words. Mikhail understood immediately - the Dark Lord has indeed returned, and he wants to take advantage of the situation to lie dormant.
Then, it was obvious what he had to do. If he wanted to stay in the interest circle he had joined this year, he had to either shut up Dmitri, the warrior who was also talking about the resurrection of the Dark Lord, or cut ties with this warrior as soon as possible.
Mikhail admired Dmitri quite a bit, and felt that this responsible man deserved to be a professor, so he chose to work hard in the first direction first. Then Dmitri looked at him with an incredible look, and under that look, he felt insignificant for no reason.
"W-what? I don't understand, Mikhail." Dmitri's pale face was ignited with a questioning expression. He pointed at Sadolin who was lying there surrounded by candlelight. "Look at her. That devil took away her future and will cruelly take away the future of countless people. Am I silent now to make it easier for him to carry out this cruelty in silence?"
"And you are just a foreign wizard in this war that has lasted for many years." Mikhail waved his hand, trying to calm Dmitri who was beginning to get agitated. "There are so many people at home, you must return home, so wouldn't it be better to return home with less trouble? Think about it, without all those troubles, you can be a professor in Kodos Dorezli and take care of the family you care about-"
Just as Mikhail was trying to persuade them, there was a sudden commotion outside the wooden door. The children screamed and the sound of chanting spells rang out in a disorderly manner. The two adults immediately dropped the issue they were arguing about and ran towards the children with their wands in hand.
He opened the door and met Maggie's cold gaze. He looked at Dmitri and greeted him softly, "Hi, nice to see you again."
Maggie has been planning Dmitri's death, but interestingly, this is the first time they speak.
Demetri kept his eyes open and first observed the conditions of all the children. No one was injured, but the wands in their hands were fixed in mid-air. The children jumped around trying to reach the wands. Some of them pouted and walked towards the culprit, but were stopped by an unfamiliar black-haired young man next to Maggie.
"What are you doing here?" Dmitri walked towards Maggie. The scene of Sadolin crying under the coercion of this man was still in front of his eyes, and the grief of her lover's death was also in his heart. Under too many emotions, he had a blank expression on his face.
"I'm here to take Sadolin away," Maggie smiled. "I think you may not know that the Ministry of Magic of Country D has my and Sadolin's identity certificates. Legally, I am her only relative."
Mikhail saw Dmitri clench his fist, so he hurried over to block Dmitri behind him, fearing that the tall man would really swing out his fist that could break a person's skull. Although he wanted to fight with Riddle, he still spoke to Dmitri at this moment, "Dear Mr. Riddle, we are all very sorry about Sadolin's matter, but at this last moment, can we put some reason forward? I think Sadolin--"
"Without Dmitri, he won't die." Maggie raised her eyebrows and interrupted Mikhail coldly.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment. Mikhail opened his eyes wide and felt the fist he blocked behind him trembling violently. He knew without looking back that Dmitri would have a murderous expression, and he doubted whether Riddle, the tall and thin man who was looking for a beating, could withstand two punches without him having time to cast magic.
"what!"
A muffled groan broke the stalemate, but it did not come from any of the three people in the stalemate. Natasha bit Trevor's hand hard, and she ran towards Maggie, who she saw as a bad guy, and hit her with her little fist. Alexei took the opportunity to snatch Trevor's wand, tripped Trevor and controlled him, then ran and waved his wand to try to get his companions' wands down from the sky.
Natasha, who looked thin, had a lot of strength hidden in her body. Her English had improved greatly in the past year, so she understood the conversation just now and became furious. Before anyone could react, she hit Maggie hard in the abdomen, making him hiss and take a few steps back.
"You--" Maggie, whose wounds were even more severe, frowned and looked at Natasha.
"Children are ignorant!" Mikhail immediately pulled Natasha, who was about to rush over to hit him, behind him. He smiled at Maggie and said, "Sir, don't bother with her. Children are ignorant!"
"Villain! Get out! Get out!" Natasha resisted Mikhail's actions and shouted in English with a strange accent. When she started, the other children followed suit. The overlapping voices of children formed a magnificent war song. They were no longer obsessed with the wands that they could not take down. They were all cautious and slowly gathered around the center, determined to fight even with their bare hands.
The situation was completely out of control. Mikhail, who thought he was only interested in profit, could only secretly pray that Maggie Riddle would not do such a thing as massacring children no matter how anti-human she was. At the same time, he decided that he would protect these children if he had to.
The shouts and determination of the children ignited a warm atmosphere, but in this passion that could easily make people dizzy, Dmitri's clenched fists slowly loosened. As the only one who could control the excited children, he shouted "Stop", and amid everyone's puzzled gazes, he gently shook his head.
"You are her relative whom she cannot choose. You can take her away." Demetri made way for Sadolin's body. He looked into Maggie's eyes, who was frowning, with tears in his eyes. "She had no way to escape from this lack of choice in the past, but her free will is on our side."
"The future will last forever." Dmitri said word by word, and the children were completely quiet. They silently gathered around Dmitri and, together with their eldest brother, spit on the villain who came to plunder because he had nothing.
Maggie narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people. The vague sense of pleasure in his heart disappeared. He walked in silently and took away the cold Sadolin.
"What will you do to her?" A suppressed, low voice sounded in my ears as I walked back past Dmitri.
"I think you know how to maximize her role. Haven't you experienced it yourself?" Maggie suddenly had the inspiration to attack again and replied to him with Dmitri's words, "Yes, Sadolin will exist forever in the future."
Every part of the basilisk's body is useful.
Maggie dropped this cruel suggestion and turned into a black shadow with laughter. He swept Trevor away and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
As soon as Maggie left, Dmitri, who felt as if a piece of flesh was cut out of his heart, became weak. He was gasping for breath and almost fell backwards. Mikhail quickly supported him.
"You - sigh." Mikhail supported him, and was about to say something, which finally turned into a sigh.
"Things have come to this," Dmitri regained his balance and distanced himself from Mikhail. "Have you made your choice?"
"You're about to graduate, and I'll help you take care of Kodos Dorezhli's children," Mikhail sighed again, "But I'm sorry, I'm a businessman, and I won't let my family and the school I rebuilt with great difficulty have anything to do with you."
After his ignited passion cooled down, Mikhail Komiuwaf chose to continue to be a profit-seeking person.
