The blond director raised his eyes to look at Tolian, with a scornful smile on his lips: "We've already turned against each other, do you think I still care?

I had doubts when the Welfare family handed over the Floo network monitoring rights. The old Marquis of the Welfare family has never shown up for several months. Not long ago, he summoned all family members to return to Welfare Castle...

I suspect there is something wrong within the Welfare family. Since they can even hand over the monitoring rights of the Floo network, do you think they have the guts to break up with us in order to snatch the exotic treasures?

This time is just a test. If it is really confirmed that there is a problem within the Welfare family, then the next step is not the vain profit in front of them. The Welfare family has mastered the three 'ancient magic worlds', one of which is the entire magic world. The largest 'magic gold' mineral! "

The words of the blond director made Torian feel extremely uneasy. Even after leaving the office, Tolian still felt uneasy.

This new boss is so crazy. Under his seemingly elegant appearance, there is an out-and-out madman who is greedy, rational, daring and leaves no room for anything.

Tolian only felt that his future was at a loss. With such a boss, if he caught up with the good times, he would soar into the sky, but if something happened, he would probably be doomed.

Torian returned to his office with an uneasy feeling. Because of the special nature of the Floo Network Management Office, it was the only Floo network in the entire magical world that was not monitored. Looking at the dark fireplace, Torian pondered for a long time.

In the end, Torian gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and casually sprinkled a handful of Floo powder to connect to a hidden fireplace that he had not contacted for a long time.

At the same time, Pierce, who was in the dormitory of the University of St. Andrews, felt a palpitation in his heart. Pierce glanced at the stern Jiu'er and muttered: "I have something to take care of... A colleague from the Ministry of Magic contacted me. He must have noticed that the young master used the Floo Network."

Jiu'er didn't speak, but nodded symbolically.

Pierce quickly walked out of the gate of St. Andrews University, and then quickly used Apparition to disappear.

Not long after, Pierce appeared in front of a dilapidated bell tower. The bell tower was in a state of decay and had been abandoned for a long time. It was surrounded by overgrown weeds and the roof had collapsed in large areas.

Pierce walked straight into the clock tower and followed the secret passage down to the basement. There was a burst of smoke and dust when he opened the door due to years of abandonment.

Pierce simply cleaned it with magic, followed the creaking stairs into the dark basement, and came to a dilapidated fireplace.

At this time, there was a faint flame about the size of a thumb beating in the fireplace, swaying like a candle, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.

Pierce hurriedly took out a handful of floo powder from his pocket and sprinkled it on the flickering fire. The next second, it was like pouring gasoline on the fire. The fire rekindled instantly, and a resolute human face emerged from the beating green flames.

"You finally came!"

Pierce frowned: "Torian, what's going on? Why are you so anxious to contact me?"

This place is the emergency contact point arranged by the Ministry of Magic for Pierce. Being able to use this point proves that something big has happened.

Torian sighed softly: "The Knights of the Round Table may be preparing to take action against the Welfare family."

"How is it possible? Who is it? King Arthur or Archmage Merlin?"

Torian shook his head: "The new director of the Floo Network Management Office of the Ministry of Magic. I guess he is most likely the blond king of the Honorable Council of King Arthur's Court. He is the apparent leader of the council and is also seeking to seize the Welfare family's Floo network monitoring rights. The man behind the scenes.

The old Marquis has not shown up for more than two months, and the Welfare family's attitude has also been uncharacteristic. In the face of pressure, they actually compromised. The blond king guessed that there must be an internal problem in the Welfare family, so he planned to test the Welfare family again. He planned to seize the treasure from Young Master Welfare in that old house. "

"What happens after the test? What does he plan to do?" Pierce asked.

"His goal is the 'Magic Gold', and he intends to seize the ancient legal world controlled by the Welfare family!"

"Magic Gold? As expected by the minister, the Knights of the Round Table have great ambitions. How dare they!?" Pierce said through gritted teeth. He knew very well the importance of 'Magic Gold'.

'Magic gold' in the magical world is similar to gold in the Muggle world. It is the hard currency of the magical world. The currency of the magical world, gold galleons, is made of 'magic gold'. Although its appearance is the same as ordinary gold, its inner But it contains magic power and is difficult to forge. Even if you use a copying spell, you can only copy its form, but not the magic power flowing within it.

There are many wizards who are good at transformation in the magic world who have studied the magic of "turning stone into gold". If the currency of the magic world is really ordinary gold, wouldn't the wizards who are good at transformation become money printing machines, so in order to avoid Currency is in chaos, and the magic world uses extremely rare 'magic gold' as the main currency material.

Of course, in addition to the fact that Gold Galleons are made from 'Magic Gold', the material used to make Silver Siko is not simply silver. The main material is another rare mineral in the magical world, 'Mithril', which is used for Copper Nat. It is also made of rare 'sharp copper', which contains magic power.

However, the reason why the Welfare family has a huge amount of wealth and controls the wealth of the magic world with one hand is that besides the business operation of the Magic world, there is another more important reason, that is, the Welfare family controls the wealth of the magic world. The largest 'magic gold deposit' in the entire magical world, a huge 'magic gold deposit' spread throughout the 'ancient magic world'.

Among the ancient magic worlds known in the entire magic world, only four ancient magic worlds have "magic gold" mines. However, of the huge "magic gold deposits" spread throughout the ancient magic world, only this ancient magic world is controlled by the Welfare family.

The magic gold output of the ancient magic world of the Welfare family alone accounts for about half of the magic gold production of the entire magic world. It can be said that one of every two gold galleons in the magic world comes from the Welfare family.

Because of their importance, the other three ancient magic circles are not controlled by any single family or organization. They are managed by the World Magic Council. Basically, the Ministry of Magic around the world discusses it together. However, even so, the Welfare family is also there. There are 5% shares in the ancient legal world.

This is the true heritage of the Welfare family. The Welfare family really has a mine at home, and it is also a gold mine, accounting for half of the world's 'magic gold' output.

The Welfare family has so much wealth, it is impossible for others not to be jealous. However, the Welfare family's background is really terrifying, and there is an old Marquis, a veteran realm-breaking powerhouse, who knows how many powerful people are hiding behind it.

Although the Welfare family has suffered from the so-called 'curse' over the years, and the direct bloodline has been almost cut off, no one can still shake the Welfare family.

There were indeed people who had some thoughts during this period, but none of those guys had a happy ending. Among them were some of the most powerful secret organizations of God Imprisoners, and they all suffered heavy losses at the hands of the welfare family.

You said you can use force to suppress people? Kill the old Marquis directly? Or kill the welfare family? Then seek to seize the welfare family's heritage.

Haha, stop joking. Even though there is only one old Marquis, no one knows exactly how many domain-breaking masters the Welfare family has behind them. Money can make all the difference, and the Welfare family's wealth is the Welfare family's biggest trump card. .

"Pierce, tell me, how far have you reached in your investigation? What happened inside the Welfare family? Why didn't the old Marquis show up for more than two months!? Could the old Marquis have..."

Pierce frowned: "I really don't know, I'm just with the young master of the Welfare family, and they have long known that I am still loyal to the Ministry of Magic. I even suspect that they absorbed me into the Welfare family because they wanted me to be with the Welfare family. Ministry of Magic ties, there may be the possibility of cooperation if necessary.

Even if the old Marquis really dies of illness or has an accident, do the Knights of the Round Table really think they can seize the ancient legal world of the Welfare family? We must know that the ancient world of the Welfare family can only be opened by the blood of direct descendants... Could it be that they think so! ? "

Torian nodded: "As long as the old Marquis has an accident, the only direct bloodline of the Welfare family will be the current young master. Compared with the old Marquis, a young man is easier to control. It would be best if he cooperates, if not Coupled with the methods of King Arthur's Court, the worst case scenario is to imprison him and extract his blood essence to open the ancient world of law, turning him into a completely imprisoned door key."
