Accept a commissioned task? Hearing this, Amosta was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
I have been retiring at Hogwarts for more than half a year, and I almost forgot about my 'serious job'. However, after I came to my senses, Amosta did not respond immediately, looking at him with an expectant look on his face. Kakus's eyes flashed with thought.
Kakus must not be unaware that he is currently entangled with many things. Even if he wanted to earn intermediary fees from himself, he would not choose this inopportune time. Presumably, he must have encountered some difficult commissions.
Karkus Foley is not the only active task broker in the underground world. There is also competition in this industry.
An excellent broker has the most important resources.
Not only the task resources, but also the resources of the bounty wizard are also very important. Otherwise, if the client posts the task to you, you will never be able to find an excellent bounty wizard to complete the task. If things go on like this, your trust will definitely be reduced. Influence.
"What, are you in trouble?"
"It is indeed a troublesome matter, Mr. Jin Viper--"
Favors are favors, and business is business. Kakus still understands this clearly. He sighed and said,
"Thanatos Hod, I'm sure you won't forget him, right?"
Amosta's eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a bit of surprise and vigilance in his tone.
"Thanatos? What, he issued the commission to you?"
"Indeed, Mr. Jin Viper, it's a rather troublesome task -" Kakus rubbed his temples and said awkwardly,
"You will probably not forget the previous mission of transporting cultural relics back from Egypt. When you returned to England and landed, you had a fierce fight with the Aurors led by Scrimgeour. In that battle, Thanato St.'s bone dragon was destroyed by Scrimgeour. You know, Mr. Golden Viper, Thanatos is from the faction of ancient arcane wizards who wield undead creatures. Losing the bone dragon is a great blow to him. Strength has a great influence.
Not long after that mission, Thanatos placed a request on me, hoping that someone could find a way to find the skeleton of the fire dragon, but this is not easy, right? Wild fire dragons are very dangerous, and they are the focus of the Ministry of Magic in various countries. The protected magical creatures are under strict care. Even if the body decomposes after death, there are strict process supervision. However, the commercially cultivated fire dragons are too weak to meet Thanatos's requirements.
In the past few months, the bounty wizards who have accepted the commission have been active in major wild fire dragon reserves, but they have all failed."
Karkus glanced at Amosta vaguely,
"Mr. Jin Viper, I vaguely remember that two years ago, you obtained a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon egg from the Norwegian Fire Dragon Nature Reserve, and also slaughtered a Norwegian Red Scaled Dragon. Was that Red Scaled Dragon at that time?"
"I have dismantled the valuable materials, and left the skeleton in the protected area."
Amosta pursed his lips and said. He really didn't realize the market for things like skeletons at the time. Otherwise, he could have made an extra fortune.
"What a pity."
Kacus sighed with regret on his face,
"Then look, are you willing to do this entrusted task?"
"How much price is he willing to pay?" Amosta asked with interest.
"Six thousand gold galleons!"
Karkus saw the light in Amosta's attitude, and he said quickly,
"If you can provide the skeleton of a fire dragon that died recently, he is willing to pay this price. Of course, we all know that the price of a wild fire dragon is much more than this, so Thanatos is willing to give some of his valuable collections or If the magic is used to offset the reward, if it is the skeleton of a fire dragon that has been dead for a while, the reward will probably be greatly reduced."
Amosta nodded slightly, the price was quite reasonable.
To be honest, Amosta didn't expect Karkus to throw out such a task. If it were other tasks, he really wouldn't necessarily help with this.
After all, today is different from the past. Amosta is now considered to be 'ashore'. If he continues to be too involved in the underground world, there will always be risks. And his mana has also experienced a period of rapid growth that lasted for several years. He has become stable, and fighting against some inferior wizards cannot bring him any progress.
After the completion of the dormitory building, the pressure on the orphanage to provide financial support has been reduced a lot, and there is no need to bother accepting commissions for gold.
This mission also involves Thanatos. This guy is really a surprising coincidence. I happen to need his help with something.
"Okay, Karkus, I will accept this commission."
Amosta's straight-toned promise made Kakus overjoyed. With Jin Viper taking action, his reputation was saved.
"Over there at Thanatos"
"Don't worry, Kakus, I will communicate with him directly."
Amosta waved his hand, and after leaving these words, he disappeared from this small village that was isolated from the rest of the world.
"Communicate directly."
Kacus leaned on the door frame, frowning and repeating Mr. Brain's last words in a low voice. The rules of the underground world are generally that the client and the undertaker of the task will not meet directly. Any questions about the task will be through the task broker. Convey, Amosta Brain is also an 'old man' in the underground world, how could he break the rules so easily?
The fact that Sirius Black was arrested again by the Ministry of Magic was like a huge rock crashing into the water, causing another uproar in the magical world before the waves caused by the annihilation of Greyback and his subordinates had been completely calmed down. .
Journalists from various countries who had visited the UK to interview Amosta Brain returned to their home countries. Before they had time to rest, they received an urgent notice and rushed to the UK non-stop, for fear of missing the latest news event. Carnival feast.
For several days, the entrance to the Ministry of Magic was overcrowded, with frantic reporters trying to find every British Ministry of Magic official they could find to learn more valuable information.
However, apart from the official disclosure published in the Daily Prophet, the Ministry of Magic remained silent and was unwilling to make any official reply. Moreover, the Ministry of Magic also refused any reporter's request to interview Black.
People were talking a lot, speculating whether the Ministry of Magic had concocted a shocking lie in order to end Sirius Black's escape from prison. But even so, Cornelius Fudge did not let up. He just publicly declared that Black was receiving information from the Ministry of Magic. After the interrogation, after everything has been clarified, the Ministry of Magic will disclose the truth to the public.
However, such a vague statement will definitely not satisfy the appetite of those journalists who are eager to get their blood pumped. Now, there is a large group of reporters squatting at the door of every senior official of the Ministry of Magic in the UK.
Because what was going to happen next had already involved the internal conflicts of the Ministry of Magic, Amosta did not get involved in this turmoil.
He did not return to Hogwarts, but stayed in a hotel in London, waiting for things to ferment, waiting for Peter Pettigrew to appear in the public eye, and by the way, dealing with fan letters from all over the world.
Dong Dong——
On a sunny morning, Amosta returned to his hotel room after breakfast. Just before he finished the crime, he was about to reply to a letter from MACUSA asking him to share his experience in efficiently hunting werewolves and vampires. There was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
