Update super fast|

Thinking of this, old Batty's heart suddenly made a decision. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test

He shook his head gently, and said, "It is not my style to hide in danger." His eyes were full of determination. After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "The surface of Great Britain is still a piece of land. It’s peaceful, but it’s already undercurrents. I know that several pure-blood families are secretly mobilizing personnel. The International Cooperation Department I am in charge of has also caught France, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and even North America in many corners of Great Britain. The espionage personnel of, apparently foreign forces have also smelled something, and they are constantly sending spies to us, and they are very concerned about our situation..."

His gray pupils gleamed with shrewd and sharp lights that were inconsistent with his haggard face. "Obviously, the sequelae of the black mark of the Quidditch World Cup has begun to burn, and although the traces of the dragon's shadow are hidden, the elites of various countries have not It may not be unclear... Earlier, the Indonesian Ministry of Magic in Southeast Asia was breached by a dark wizard. I thought it was just a small incident, but recently there seems to be a new clue. The dark wizard seems to have a very extraordinary origin... "

"Regardless of whether the mysterious person is finally resurrected and returned—" Old Batty took a deep breath, his tone of voice full of stern solemnity, "In my opinion, the arrival of troubled times is inevitable, although no one really likes troubled times. Come, but I have to say, this is our opportunity, can we seize this opportunity to make the most correct judgments and things—"

"It will determine the future development and fate of everyone!"

Schelling is very satisfied, really satisfied.

There is a Muggle proverb how to say, there is a kind of father, there is a kind of son (likefather, likeson). In fact, it is the same in reverse. From the character and talent of the son, one can also see the ability and talent of his father.

If judged by IQ alone, Barty Crouch Jr. is undoubtedly one of the people with the highest IQ in the original book, perhaps just below Dumbledore.

In terms of learning, he was even better than Hermione. In his fifth grade, he got 12 owl certificates, which was an achievement that even Hermione could not do. Looking at the entire original world, the only ones who can match him in this regard are only the eldest of the Wesley family, Bill and the eldest of Percy.

Not only that, but Batty is not a nerd who can only read books.

In terms of actual combat, he joined the Death Eaters as soon as he graduated, and obtained the Dark Mark in the shortest time. You know, not everyone has the Dark Mark, it represents the innermost circle of Death Eaters. Although the exact time he received the Dark Mark is not mentioned in the original work, he is definitely the youngest Death Eater. (This chapter says: He is 2 years younger than Snape and 7 years younger than Lucius)

He had just been rescued from his father's Imperius Curse, not long before, and he was about to join forces with Peter Pettigrew to take the real Mad-Eye Moody as a captive silently.

Note that this is in Mad Eye Moody's home. It is not easy to capture the second top figure in the Order of the Phoenix without disturbing anyone. The two of them did it, and the whole process only triggered the defense mechanism of the trash can and attracted the Muggle police. Mad Eye Moody didn't even have other chances to ask for help.

In terms of scheming and talent, he can pretend to be Dumbledore's most trusted friend Crazy Eye Moody under Dumbledore's nose, and his flaws were revealed at the end of the Triwizard Tournament. This intermediate potion level, Occlumency, mimicry ability, resilience, scheming, calm observation, and courage are all indispensable.

Not to mention, in the whole process of helping Harry win the Triwizard Tournament, he took the personalities of Harry, Cedric, and Dobby very accurately, and arranged all of them properly. , Demonstrating superior planning, strategy, and organizational capabilities.

(Note: When Rowling visited Montir Elementary School in North America on October 14, 1999, she personally said that Hermione was just a very hard-working quasi-genius. The original text was borderlinegenius, not a real tyrant. Hermione’s things were so unpleasant. Forget, the super-high IQ personality settings are all privately created by fan authors in order to satisfy readers who like to be self-satisfied.)

Little Batty is so shrewd and powerful, Schelling can imagine how his father was before he was hit by the double whammy of his career and family.

From the beginning of the conversation to the present, the conversation has not exceeded ten sentences, but both of them can quickly capture the other's thoughts and reach a preliminary tacit understanding. Xie Lin likes to talk to such smart people, save worry and effort, he really didn't look away—

Old Barty Crouch is worthy of his solicitation.

It was not in vain that he had spent so much time, wasting so much time going to talk with Harry, go to confront Dumbledore.

Xie Lin smiled and stared at the expression on Old Barty's face, with a faint light of wisdom in his eyes, "What? Are you still obsessed with the position of Minister of Magic?"

Old Barty was taken aback when he heard it, he pressed his lips tightly, thinking about what Schelling meant. To be honest, he is an extremely ambitious figure, if he doesn't think about the position of Minister of Magic, even he himself doesn't believe it.

However, being stared at by Schelling’s seemingly peaceful but in fact implied sharp eyes, he felt indescribable. His instinct told him that he should not covet the position of Minister of Magic, especially in In front of this boy.

After thinking about it, he sighed heavily, and said with some excitement: "If I didn't covet the position of Minister of Magic, it would be pure self-deception."

"But," he said firmly, "The position of Minister of Magic is no longer suitable for me. My reputation and prestige in the hearts of the masses have been severely hit and questioned—"

"Most people don't trust my ability anymore. They probably think..." There was a slight pain on his expression. "A person who can't even be a father, what qualifications to manage a wizarding country?"

Schelling nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Old Barty's knowledge and self-restraint. This alone left Fudge and Scolinger a few blocks away. UU reading www.uukanshu. At the same time, he was quite sure that if it hadn't been for the little Batty's cheating, the old Batty's position as Minister of Magic would have been unbreakable and no one could shake it.

"You're right," Schelling said sympathetically, "Although it is cruel, you are indeed no longer suitable for the position of Minister of Magic...that position..." The corner of Schelling's mouth was slightly raised, "I already have someone I like. …"

"Amelia, right?" Old Barty smiled. Now that he decided to let go, Old Barty's thoughts suddenly became clear. With a flash of inspiration, he suddenly realized that Schelling had probably already had a complete plan for the Ministry of Magic and might not have all important positions. He has an arrangement in his heart.

He couldn't help being in a trance, this Malfoy, is he really just a boy under 15 years old?

How does he feel that this kid is much more terrible than his father Lucius, who is known for his shrewdness and cunning?

"Well," Xie Lin did not deny, "Aunt Leia has the ability, strength, background, political skills and personal reputation. She is the most suitable for this position." Xie Lin did not say, Ah Miria's niece is one of his confidants, so the stakes between the two of them are far deeper and closer than they seem on the surface.
