Chapter 433 Ask Dumbledore for advice
After leaving the underground cave with the door keys found from the Avery Clan Captain, Mike quickly directed the Los Santa Wizards Group to join hands with the ants to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire Avery Secret Realm.
Because the entire Avery Secret Realm was cast with anti-phantom shift, anti-phantom manifestation and unmarkable spells, except for those senior leaders of the Avery family who are in high positions, almost most members of the entire Avery family were trapped in the secret realm.
The main purpose of the joint search between the wizard group and the ants is to capture the survivors hiding in the secret realm. I believe that with the help of the huge ants, these people will be caught soon.
Of course, arresting people is only one of the purposes.
Mike's other purpose was to collect the goods hoarded by the Avery family in the secret territory and the property of the wizard families.
As the highest combat power present, Mike naturally did not leave the secret realm.
But he was not idle either, but instead had conducted a more detailed and rigorous interrogation of the Avery's patriarch while the real agent had not disappeared.
The result of the interrogation was similar to the ones who had been in the underground cave before, but the Avery patriarch also explained some other things, such as burying a huge treasure in this secret realm named after their family.
Inside is the wealth that the Avery family has collected over thousands of years.
Their ancestors obviously did not believe in the Guling Pavilion created by the cunning fairies, so they hid most of their belongings in this hidden secret realm, and the only thing they stored in the Guling Pavilion was a scattered wealth.
As for the value of the treasure inside, the Avery Clan leader himself couldn't explain it clearly, because there were too many things, and there were many things that were difficult to estimate.
Mike then found someone to go to the location he mentioned, and dug out a warehouse full of Jin Jialong and various treasures there.
After preliminary inspection, the value of this treasure house exceeds one million Jin Jialong!
This number indeed surprised Mike, Franklin and others, but after thinking that the Avery family occupied this secret realm alone for countless years, Mike also wanted to open up.
But this is not the most important news that Mike got from the Avery Clan. Mike never forgot that their purpose this time was to find Chris and the pendant box. From what Avery Clan explained, Mike speculated that something very incredible was that Kingsley obtained was probably revealed by Chris or others on purpose.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Kingsley could easily know such a hidden thing in the Avery Secret Realm, nor can it explain why the Slytherin pendant box that Mike was looking for appeared here so coincidentally.
Although Mike is not sure why Chris or others are doing this, after all the possibilities are eliminated, there is only such a seemingly impossible option left!
Speaking of the pendant box, Mike inspected it as soon as he left the underground cave.
But to Mike's disappointment, the pendant box was still not the Horcrux he was looking for, and there was no slight scent of Voldemort on it.
Mike immediately made the judgment that this was a fake, but the Avery leader insisted that this was a real thing.
The reason he gave was that he liked this precious magical antique very much, so when Chris gave him this pendant box, he found many famous cultural relics masters to check the authenticity of the pendant box, and the result of the test was that the pendant box was indeed a real thing.
This puzzled Mike.
You should know that when Voldemort made the Horcrux, he had not yet traveled to this world.
Therefore, the appearance of the Horcrux was not affected by his time travel, and there would be no changes.
But now if this pendant box is genuine, then where did the Voldemort soul splitting go?
Could it be that it was recycled by Voldemort in time? Or did Slytherin have made two pendants?
Looking at the pendant box in his hand that was shining green under the light, Mike was almost full of question marks now.
He really wants to take the pendant box directly to Dumbledore, so that the learned Dumbledore can give him the correct answer.
It’s a pity that he has more important things to deal with in this secret realm.
"Boss, the Ants and the Los Santo Wizards have completed the search of the Avery Secret Land."
Benjamin's words pulled back Mike, who was thinking, and he calmly put away the pendant box, nodded expressionlessly and said:
"How is the result?"
"It's generally good. After two rounds of comprehensive searches, we caught a total of 323 mice, most of which were elderly people and children, with only about 30 young men and women. In addition to the treasure offered by the Avery Clan Chief, I also found a large amount of property and goods. It is estimated that the total income of our first wave of operation will exceed 1.1 million Jin Jialong!"
Speaking of this, Benjamin suddenly stopped talking. Mike, who was listening to the report, turned his head strangely and saw Benjamin frowning and looking constipated.
"What's wrong?" Mike said with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Benjamin shook his head quickly, looked at Mike with a tangled look on his face, and said stammeringly after brewing for a long time:
"Mike, although he was reluctant to admit it, something bad happened during the search."
"They have hidden my Jin Jialong?"
Mike suddenly raised his tone!
"Well, that's not. Our people are not fools. They know very well what the consequences will be if they are found to have trophys. And anyway, you will also give them a lot of bonuses after you go back, so there is no need for them to do this at all."
"What other bad things can you do?"
Mike was a little puzzled. He couldn't think of anything worse than hiding his spoils.
When facing Mike's inquiry, Benjamin hesitated and said:
"Of the 323 survivors, 110 of them were killed on the grounds of threat. But in fact, they were killing innocent people indiscriminately. I can see clearly that many people were executed just because they scolded them a few times! This is not the worst. Some witches were violated before they were executed. This is really... This is really..."
Benjamin couldn't even say anything angry.
A sudden enlightenment appeared on Mike's face.
When ordering the Los Santo Wizards' Force to join forces with the ants to search, Mike's original words were as follows:
"Find out all the survivors of the Avery family, and find a temporary dungeon to lock them all up. If you encounter a threatening guy, just kill them."
That's right, it's just such a simple sentence.
This is the order issued by Mike after careful consideration, because from a rational point of view, it is the best choice to kill all these prisoners, after all, they are strictly enemies.
But doing this was too cruel, so Mike finally chose to lock them all up first.
Mike thought it was already good to do it himself.
But when he issued the order, he obviously forgot one thing, that is, to give the executors the task to rule threatening standards, and to prevent them from doing something ashamed to those prisoners.
So, what Benjamin said happened naturally.
Mike was not surprised at all by this kind of thing, because his subordinates were not dull robots, but living humans. It is normal for him to do some tentative things to satisfy his selfish desires within the scope permitted by the rules.
And to be honest, Mike is already very satisfied with their behavior.
Because until now, Mike has not revoked their unlimited fire rights.
This means that as long as they want, they can even kill all the prisoners directly.
The failure of this situation has already shown that the group of wizards under his command are not crazy.
But although he thought so in his heart, he could not tell Benjamin like this, after all, the other party is obviously full of Virgin’s heart.
So after a long time, Mike let out a long sigh, patted Benjamin on the shoulder and said:
"The fault of this matter lies in me. The order I gave them was loophole. I must say to you, sorry."
As he spoke, Mike bowed to Benjamin very little.
"I...I don't mean that, Mike. I..."
Benjay obviously didn't expect Mike to do this. After being stunned for a moment, he spoke in panic to explain, but perhaps because of the overly tense relationship, he stuttered and couldn't explain it clearly.
Seeing this, Mike continued:
"Okay, we have to try to make up for the mistakes. Let's do this, all the prisoners will be left to you. Of course, the general direction cannot be changed. They will still clear their memories and stay in the factory to work. However, the remaining living conditions, material allocation and other matters will be left to you to deal with. I will also punish those wizards who have made mistakes, such as confinement and fines. Do you think this is OK?"
"Of course, of course, it's good to handle it, just..."
"Then let it be. I have other things to deal with. I hope you all can do your own work well, after all, for the greater good!"
After saying that, Mike pulled the door key in his hand, turned into a twisted afterimage and disappeared into the office.
Benjamin heard the last sentence of Mike, standing up straight like a conditioned reflex, pounding his chest, and shouting:
"For greater good!"
After shouting, Benjamin became even more confused because Mike actually threw away a lot of things and ran away!
Thinking about the whole lot of things he had to deal with in a while, Benjamin couldn't help but show bitterness on his face.
"He always likes to be a hand-off manager like this. I'm really in a difficult life!"
Benjamin quickly left the office while complaining.
It is not an easy thing to completely conquer a brand new secret realm, there is a lot of work waiting for him.
On the other side, after leaving the secret realm, Mike went to Dumbledore's forest villa without stopping.
The house elf named Xiaochacu or a small teapot in the villa garden was very happy to see Mike coming and greeted Mike very attentively.
But Mike ignored him at all and rushed into Dumbledore's bedroom.
At this time, Dumbledore had escaped from the situation of lying on the hospital bed to recuperate, and was sitting at his desk reading the newspaper while eating breakfast.
The breakfast Mike looked very familiar, almost exactly the same as what he had eaten at Snape's house.
Dumbledore had a very delicious meal. The morning sun shone through the dense woods and transparent glass on his face, and a light layer of pink appeared on it, representing a healthy color.
Dumbledore was obviously shocked by Mike who suddenly broke in. He held a fork with half a grilled sausage in his eyes, and then his wrinkled face spread out, and a bright smile appeared and said to Mike:
"Mike, you're here. Severus just came here to give me a routine treatment. He also made a breakfast for me at my strong request. I have to say that what he made was so delicious, I was simply fascinated. Oh, by the way, are you going to have a little?"
Dumbledore said as he reached out to hand the half of the sausage to Mike.
But Mike obviously had no desire to eat. He completely ignored Dumbledore's kindness, took out the Slytherin pendant box from his arms and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
"Look at this, is this the real thing?"
Seeing the pendant box, Dumbledore's expression also became solemn.
He put down the fork, held the pendant box with both hands, placed it in the sun and looked at it carefully. After a while, he looked at Mike in surprise and asked:
"Where did you get this?"
"I thought you had guessed it. The information Kingsley gave me led us to the depths of the Avery family, which we found there."
"Yes, yes, I should have guessed that Kingsley has already told me about this..."
Dumbledore's expression was a little weird. He seemed to be distracted. His pupils spread rapidly, and he lowered his head and kept murmuring.
His voice became lighter and lighter, and even Mike could not hear clearly what he was saying.
I don't know how long it took, but Dumbledore finally recovered from this strange state.
He slowly raised his head, looked at Mike with a complicated expression for a while, and then asked in an extremely serious tone:
"Can I know, the people of the Avery family...they are they now...well, what's going on?"
Mike didn't say anything, he just looked at Dumbledore expressionlessly, just as he did when he waited for Dumbledore to speak.
The Avery Secret Realm is very important to Mike at this stage, so important that he is not ready to disclose any information about the Secret Realm to anyone.
Chapter completed!
