MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 378 376. Price
Chapter 378 376. Price
There is no doubt that the two people who came in must be Malfoy and his son.
Although they covered their faces, at this point in time, there would be no one else when such a combination came to the Pig's Head Bar.
After the two came in, they quickly found an empty table and sat down. Jon didn't go over immediately, but exchanged glances with Aberforth, who was walking towards the father and son with a tray.
"Need something?"
Aberforth's attitude is not very good, even by the standards of service personnel, it can be called bad, but this is not aimed at Malfoy and his son, but his service attitude has always been like this since he opened the store, like a pig's head A place like a bar doesn't attract customers with the quality of service.
"A glass of whiskey."
The tall man spoke.
His voice was rough, and it was obvious that he had been treated with potions.
Aberforth glanced at the shorter man in black.
"What about this one?"
"Just one drink, he doesn't drink."
"Okay, as you wish."
Jon didn't waste time. When Aberforth went to serve the wine, he got up and came to Malfoy and his son, and sat down opposite them.
He could clearly feel that after he sat down, the body of the shorter man in black robe trembled slightly, and subconsciously shrank back to the position of the other person beside him.
Jon raised his eyebrows hidden under the hood, and said.
"An appointment?"
He didn't cover up his voice, so as long as he spoke to someone familiar with him, his identity could be easily identified.
Lucius looked at Jon, and then slightly pulled away the black robe that covered his face, revealing the face that was very famous in the British wizarding world.
The location they chose was at the very corner of the bar. The lights on the ceiling were dim, and the greasy stains around them seemed to be able to absorb the light. In addition, both Jon and Malfoy and his son were all dressed in black. Unless you stop by their side deliberately, no one will notice them.
Plus, there are few customers in the store. Except for Jon and his table, there are only two alcoholics who have been drinking since noon and are bragging to each other in the center of the tavern that they have traveled around and those dangerous places.
"Are you coming alone?"
Even if he couldn't see Lucius' face, Jon could still imagine from his tone that he must be frowning when he asked this sentence.
Aberforth also brought over the whiskey that Lucius wanted at this time, and he put the goblet full of mutton on the table heavily, as if to express that there were three people sitting at the table but only ordered one glass Wine dissatisfaction.
Obviously, Lucius ordered this glass of wine just to deal with the owner of the store, and he didn't have any intention of letting any part of his body touch the wine glass.
After Aberforth left and returned to the back of the bar to continue wiping his endless glass of wine, Jon casually opened his mouth to answer Lucius' question.
"Who else do you want me to bring? Tom Riddle?"
Hearing this name, Draco was obviously taken aback, and his body couldn't help shaking more violently. Lucius was obviously much calmer, but his tone was much colder than before. .
"This joke is not funny at all."
Jon smiled and said nothing more, Draco's reaction was enough to let him know what he wanted to know.
"Okay, then let's talk about something funny. As the great gentleman's loyal confidant, head of the office of the Auror Command, the noble pure-blood wizard Mr. Lucius Malfoy, you privately What do you want to do with a criminal wanted like me?"
Lucius ignored Jon's teasing. Jon's attitude was already prepared before he came. In this kind of thing, whoever takes the initiative is on the weak side.
"Do you have the right to make decisions about some things?"
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Malfoy to talk about the specific things first." Jon shrugged, "As you know, I am just an ordinary student."
There was silence in the air for a few seconds. Obviously, no one believed Jon's nonsense. In the end, Lucius did not choose the twists and turns like conventional interest negotiations, but said straight to the point.
"I want to make a deal with you alone, Mr. Green. A pure deal that has nothing to do with our camp and position." Lucius took a deep breath, "I hope you can make a deal in the next two games." To ensure the safety of my son."
Draco lowered his head at the side, of course he should feel humiliated, he is also a warrior in the Triwizard Tournament, the other three can shine for his school, only he still needs his father to beg his competitors to ensure your own safety.
Jon was not surprised by Lucius' request. It was just like what he and Dumbledore had guessed in the principal's office before. Such a meeting with Lucius was most likely for his son.
"Why do you need me to guarantee it? We are hostile, Mr. Malfoy, isn't that Emile Lestrange also very powerful? Why don't you ask him to protect your precious son?"
"You know why I didn't look for him. Everyone has seen his performance in the first project." Lucius' voice revealed rare sincerity, "I said, it doesn't matter about the camp and position, your Character is more worthy of my trust.”
What he said is ridiculous, the enemy is more reliable than his own, but it is true.
It can only be said that Voldemort really gathered a group of human scum.
"So, what about the conditions?" Jon asked the question he was most interested in, "You can't hire someone empty-handed, right?"
Lucius looked at Jon calmly, he raised his head, and the two looked at each other.
"I know that ring."
Jon was stunned for a moment subconsciously, but soon he realized that the original casual expression disappeared instantly, and instead showed extremely dignified eyes.
"Adrien Fox, traveler, adventurer, archaeologist, master alchemist, master of spells, he traveled all over the world, but left no reputation until his death. But I know the ring you wear, I had the honor of meeting Mr. Fox at a banquet once, and the ring on his hand was exactly the same as the ring you were wearing when you entered the Forbidden Forest that day."
"so what?"
Jon narrowed his eyes.
Knowing the existence of the ring does not mean that he knows what the ring means. He really wants to know how much Lucius knows.
This chapter is to make up for what I missed last night, and there will be four thousand mornings after that.
