"The day of the draw at Hogwarts(
Mr. Granger took Tom and Hermione to Sheffield to meet his old friend Hal Hunter.
Hal Hunter is young and strong, and he has a lot of achievements. In fantasy novels, he is the standard backbone of the sect, the genius of the previous generation, the rising star of the sect, and is about to break through to the "professor" level "half-step professor" , as such a scholar is naturally eligible for an independent office.
"Teacher, you are too rambunctious! How can you take two children to the Sahara Desert for archaeology?" A man with short hair and tanned skin angrily slapped Mr. Hall's desk. He looks like he's in his early thirties, but he's probably less than thirty, because the bushy black beard around his chin makes him look old.
"Will, calm down." A dark-haired woman stood by and smiled to reassure her classmates. She tied her hair into a braid and hung it behind her head, giving people a neat and neat feeling.
She was wearing nothing but a sleeveless track top and shorts with a wide belt around her waist, exposing her long limbs and swathes of wheat-colored skin, and the scent of hormones and perfume wafted through the air. Her lower abdomen is flat and without a trace of fat, but the top is "looking as a ridge and a peak on the side", and the whole person is full of youth, health and vigor.
This dress was enough to fascinate the well-mannered young man at the edge, but it couldn't shake Will in the slightest.
"Sarah!" he said angrily, "you should know how significant this operation is. If we can really find the ancient city that the teacher said, we will be famous in history! This honor is to be able to compete with other small The **** share? They're just a bunch of mediocre people who just sit back and enjoy—"
"Will Evans!" Hal Hunt saw that his best student was jumping on the edge of danger repeatedly, he could only knock on the glass to tell him to shut up first, he believed that Will would calm down in a few minutes .
"Teacher," the hormonally addicted young man at the far end finally reacted, "Will lost his head and said something heavier, but he was also thinking of us. After all, the Sahara Desert is not Disneyland. It's too risky to pass two children under fourteen. If, I mean, if something goes wrong..."
Hal shook his head, "Alan, I've been tracking pythons in the Amazon rainforest since their age."
"But you're not like them, they're just two relatives—" Will said hastily, but Hal interrupted him with a slap on his desk.
"Will Evans! I advise you to be careful with your words and actions! If you keep running around like this, I'll remove you from this list!" Hal was really angry, but the reason for his anger, Largely because Will Evans told the truth.
Tom and Hermione are really related. If you think about it carefully, even with Hal's youthful deeds as an example, he is unlikely to take two children into the desert under normal circumstances. But this is not a special case!
An old friend who has been in relationship for decades spoke up, and Hal had no room for rejection. Although he seriously gave Mr. Granger a brief introduction to the risks in the desert, Mr. Granger's attitude was very firm this time, and he firmly believed that his daughter could cope with the difficulties. And that boy named Tom, Hal knew what was going on with his toes. His first impression of Tom was: Add head. But this idea was quickly overturned.
Because an international transportation businessman named Yuri contacted him and was willing to provide him with the funds for this adventure, and recruit elite guards for him by the way, but after finding the ancient city, the two parties need to communicate a little. This kind of operation is very normal in Hal's view. It is nothing more than a big guy who wants to whitewash himself or take the opportunity to go ashore. For him, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages - after all, he is only an associate professor, and he has a project in his hand. Funds are limited, and it is impossible to support the expenses of an archaeological team in Egypt. Even if Yuri doesn't come to the door, he will find other bigwigs for investment.
So Hal readily agreed, and listened to Yuri's words by the way. He wanted to know how much Yuri wanted to control the team. However, Yuri said that the communication link between the two of them is that Tom, and his people will give priority to following Tom's instructions.
After doing this, Tom's identity suddenly became confusing in Hal's mind. But no matter how he guessed, the two had to join the team.
Seeing that their "boss" was angry, Sarah and Allen both closed their mouths and stood on the side watching the play.
"They can take care of themselves." Hal stared straight at Will for a moment, until he looked away.
"Understood." Will finally backed down, but he also secretly vowed in his heart After he becomes a professor in the future, he will never open the back door to this group of insects.
"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the office door. Mr. Granger came in with Tom and Hermione.
He and Hal hugged excitedly.
The two exchanged a few words and introduced each other to the people present.
Tom looked at Hal. He was middle-aged, with a sturdy face, thick limbs, strong muscles, and rough skin. He's more of a Texas redneck than a scholar.
Through Hal's introduction, Tom also met the other three. The **** and wild beauty is called Sarah, and there are two remaining men, the bearded man is Will, and the little white face is Allen. They are both doctoral students under Hal. La is the elder sister, and Alan is the younger brother.
While Tom was watching them, Hal was watching Tom too: in good skins and looking in good spirits. This was his first impression of Tom. As for Hermione's child, he didn't pay much attention to it, he just sighed that time flies so fast, the little one from before was so big.
"Okay, everyone knows each other, then come to WORK66 with me." After the greeting, Hal took the initiative to invite an old friend to have dinner with him. WORK66 is a Chinese buffet he often goes to, and the taste is not bad. As for his choice here, there are two reasons. First, the taste here is really good, and the price is good. During the working day, each customer can eat all the food for only 5 pounds, including but not limited to fried chicken, seafood, Beef onions, sweet and sour pork, shrimp dumplings...
There are also private rooms if you book in advance!
He knew the boss there very well, and every time he went, the boss would give him a beer or a big bottle of Coke.
The second reason is naturally because he is here to meet the "helpers" today.
