Chapter 146: Infiltrating the Organization
“Mr. Borgin, we can go now, just use this portkey.”
Cooper Daniel, who came out of Gringotts and returned to Knockturn Alley, took out an iron chain and motioned Borgin to hold it.
“Wait a minute, I forgot to take something, I’ll go back to the store and come right away.”
Without waiting for Cooper Daniel’s consent, Borgin strode back to the store.
After closing the door, he looked at the man opposite who looked exactly like him and said respectfully:
“I have completed your instructions, you can go out now.”
“Yes!”
Ethan nodded in understanding, and then left the store as Borgin.
Looking at the slowly closing door, Borgin also sighed. It is getting harder and harder to get by these days. They all bully an old guy like him, and everyone knows how to respect the elderly.
He didn’t want to agree to Ethan’s request, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.
“Mr. Borgin!”
“Okay, we can go now.”
Ethan responded with a straight face.
Borgin is usually like this, and only when Ethan is a bit servile, he is still very good at putting on airs under normal circumstances.
“Okay, please come over and grab the door key.”
Cooper Daniel did not doubt anything and hurriedly raised the chain in his hand.
“Can I take a clerk with me? He is the one!”
Ethan pointed to Tom beside him. Tom did work as a clerk in Borgin and Burke’s, and Ethan was right about that.
“Sure!”
After looking at Tom for a while, Cooper Daniel nodded.
He doesn’t look threatening, just a young man, he should be a clerk in the store.
They are still very cautious in this line of work.
Some extreme magical animal lovers are really hard to guard against.
Holding the chain, Cooper Daniel opened it, and the three disappeared in the vortex of space distortion.
When the vision was restored, Ethan and others had come to a beach by the sea, with the azure sea in front and lush forests not far behind.
After taking a look at Cooper Daniel, the show was finally about to begin.
Cooper Daniel arrived after receiving a report from Dennis.
Generally, when going to the base to purchase magical animals, they have to be examined. Some pure-blood nobles like to choose by themselves. They don’t like the ones you send, which makes the people of the Sreis organization helpless, but they must cater to customers when doing business.
That’s why there is a rule of reviewing the selection before entering the island, but it’s not so strict. The main thing is that you can’t get in with official people, and there are magical animal protection elements.
But there is also a prerequisite. First of all, you have to prove that you are qualified to be a customer.
Borgin is naturally qualified. As a black market intermediary in Great Britain, he is also one of the twenty-eight sacred families.
The two talked about some issues related to magical animals, mainly Borgin’s needs, and then watched him go to Gringotts to withdraw 100,000 gold galleons, which was verified to be qualified. The minimum standard is 50,000.
Of course, this is Borgin’s money, and it’s still on him. Ethan didn’t want it.
Then Ethan took Polyjuice Potion and changed into Borgin’s identity, and only then did he get in. It was really troublesome.”Follow me, there are many protective spells here.”
Cooper Daniel looked at Ethan who was looking around and reminded him.
“Well, good!”
Following Cooper Daniel and the others, they arrived at their destination, a crypt covered by magic, in about a quarter of an hour.
“Robert, I’m back with my people. This is Mr. Borgin and his men.”
Cooper Daniel introduced to the members standing at the entrance to greet them.
“Okay, leave the follow-up to me.”
Robert patted Cooper Daniel on the shoulder, indicating that his mission was completed.
“Mr. Borgin, I’ll take you to see the Thunderbird first.”
This is their signature. Eight out of ten people who come here are interested in Thunderbird.
“Good!”
Following Robert, after turning seven or eight corners, they pushed open an iron door. Inside was a huge prison.
Five huge creatures shaped like eagles were imprisoned inside, a total of two large and three small.
Each of these giant eagles has three pairs of wings, and the wings become smaller as they go back.
“Cry!”
Seeing someone coming in, the thunderbirds let out angry cries, staring at the people who came in.
“Mr. Borgin, this is a family of thunderbirds. They first caught three small ones and used them as traps. They finally caught these two adult thunderbirds. See if you like them.”
Robert introduced the situation here to Ethan while walking.
“Cry!”
The sound this time was obviously different. Robert, who often dealt with thunderbirds, looked at the big guys in the prison with some strangeness. What happened?
Ethan slowly approached the cage and reached his hand inside.
Ethan didn’t understand the sound just now, but it felt like flattery and pleading.
“Mr. Borgin, please don’t do this. Thunderbirds are very dangerous magical animals.”
Seeing this, Robert ran over and stopped Ethan’s action. No matter whether it was the sharp beak or claws, he moved slightly and the hand that reached in was gone.
Such accidents have happened before. If Bo Jin was injured under his nose, he would not only not get the commission, but also have to accept the punishment of the boss.
“I am excited. There are no such beautiful big guys in Europe.”
Ethan pretended to be obsessed with the thunderbird and said to Robert. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“These big guys are indeed beautiful, so which one do you like?”
“The small one!”
“I came here for more than one target today. I will look at all the ones that are not available in Europe, and I will take them if I find the right one.”
“Okay, after you have determined all the targets you want to buy, I will tell you the price when you go to the leader.”
Robert’s face was full of joy.
He was so enthusiastic because he wanted Ethan to spend more so that he could get more promotion. The commission here is incomparable with Dennis and others, because Dennis and others look for buyers outside, while buyers come to the door here.
But even so, the money you get won’t be a small sum, because the minimum requirement to come to the base is to bring 50,000 gold galleons.It’s enough for me to make money, not to mention that Mr. Borgin wants to buy several now.
Under Robert’s guidance, we saw the cat-leopard, which looks no different from an ordinary jaguar.
There are several kinds of long-horned water snakes, one of which has a black body and a gem on its forehead. Robert said that it can fly and become invisible, while other kinds of long-horned water snakes do not have this ability.
We also saw the White River Monster, which looks like a large gray catfish, but has black spikes on its back.
Robert introduced that these thorns are excellent materials for making wands. In the past, only Tiago Quintana, the master wandmaker, knew how to trap the White River Monster, but now this method has been mastered by them.
He also suggested that Ethan could take a few back and sell them to Ollivander at a high price.
Behind this is the Werewolf of the Werewolf, a dog-headed monster that has nothing to do with werewolves, and its hair can also be used as a wand material.
But Ethan was obviously not interested in it, and Rupert did not introduce it in detail. []
The Aerym bull is another magical animal that Robert strongly recommends. It has golden fur and is about the same size as an elephant. It lives in Asia and North America.
The key is the blood of the Aerym bull. Drinking it can temporarily increase the strength of the drinker. It is a natural magic potion, which has led to excessive hunting of the Aerym bull. Now the number is relatively scarce.
Later, the Peruvian Venomous Dragon and the Bird-shaped Man-eating Monster were introduced…
“Have you decided to buy those?”
After taking Ethan to see almost all the magical animals that are special to America in the entire base, Robert looked at Ethan expectantly.
“Thunderbird, Cat-leopard, Aerym bull, and Bird-shaped Man-eating Monster!”
These four were calculated, and it was about 100,000 gold galleons, which was about the same as the money Borgin took out.
Ethan also brought gold galleons on this trip.
“I’ll take you to see the leader right now. There will be a banquet waiting for you later.”
Ethan, an outsider, had figured it out, so Robert naturally knew that he could get almost 2,000 gold galleons by leading the way and introducing them. Compared with his companions outside who risked their lives to fight magical animals, this money was too easy to earn.
The standard for the banquet was that if you spent more than 50,000 gold galleons, you would become their distinguished guest. They held it specially to express their welcome.
Who let pure-blood wizards eat this? You give them face and treat them well. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Under Robert’s leadership, Ethan met the leader of the Thres organization, an old man in his seventies with a somewhat sinister face. I don’t know if it was because of his age, but he was quite thin.
The transaction was completed on the spot, 96,000 gold galleons, Robert helped to cut down 1,000, and Ethan paid 95,000.
After Ethan handed over the gold galleons, the leader of the organization took Ethan to pack the selected magical animals and gave them a packing box, which was a suitcase with a traceless expansion spell. Of course, the area would not be very large.
Robert went to inform them to prepare for the dinner. All members of the base had to participate in this dinner in order to make a grand event and show their importance.
The four magical animals were packed in the suitcase.After the suitcase of strange animals was handed over to Tom, the two of them, led by a young witch in her thirties, came to the banquet.
Sitting on the sofa, Ethan took another sip of Polyjuice Potion. He was really tired from filling it all the way and had to walk around for a long time.
There was no way, because many wizards here had door keys in their hands. If they attacked by force, they could only get a part of the magical animals at most.
If they wanted to accept this base in its entirety, they had to wait until the banquet started and everyone gathered. This news was also told to Ethan by Dennis, so they spent so much.
Otherwise, Ethan would have been bored and would have played along with them.
The members of Thres did not let Ethan wait for long. With magic, many things were prepared very quickly.
“Please come to the stage, Mr. Borgin!”
The young witch who had just led the way was now the guest host and invited Ethan on the stage.
The members below applauded under the leadership of the boss.
Ethan tidied his clothes and walked onto the stage in an orderly manner.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, a black and white halo began to spread from Ethan’s feet, and within a few breaths, the entire banquet hall was enveloped in it.
