It was already late at night when they returned to the Family Harris tower. Allen thoughtfully made hot tea for Penello to drive away the cold.
"Penello, I'll teach you how to make the Enslavement Gem in a while. The eight-eyed spider embedded with the Enslavement Gem can be controlled very well. It's also a cursed item. Unless the curse is lifted, it can't be removed by force." Allen picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Penello.
Penello took the teacup, hooked her little finger around the handle of the cup and let go. She took a sip and put it on the table.
Allen sensitively noticed that Penello's mood was a little off. He observed Penello's expression without leaving a trace.
Penello seemed to be anxious about something, but it was inconvenient for her to say it to him.
"Penello, is there anything I can help you with? Are you not feeling well? Maybe you'll feel better if you drink more hot water. "Allen's eyes unconsciously slid to Penello's lower abdomen.
Intelligent as Penello was, she immediately understood the meaning of Allen's words. Her face flushed.
"No, it's not a problem to raise spiders, but I'm worried that I can't afford the raw materials to make so many Enslavement Gems." Penello quickly explained, "Previously, I received some scholarships from the Hogwarts and the training classes. After graduation, I also received some rewards from the Freemasonry through various mutual aid and activities. In the family, I received more knowledge and training than money. My sources of income are only my salary as an Aura and some rewards from the Freemasonry. I don't have enough funds to make so many Enslavement Gems. "
Penello was a little embarrassed because she always wanted to share Allen's burden and didn't want to cause trouble for him. Although the burden of raising spiders was not small, she could still bear it. However, there were too many spiders, and they reproduced very quickly. The enslavement gemstones required gemstones as raw materials, so the number of gold coins had become a bottomless pit. She really could not afford it.
Allen could see that Penello's worries were real, and he could also see her shame. Allen could not help but blame himself. He had been focusing on experiments and reading recently, and had neglected to pay attention to the people close to him. Not only Penello, but the other members might also be short of funds.
He would have to hire a finance manager in the future, and the core members who had the imprint would also need a fixed salary allowance. Just absorbing knowledge would not be enough to fill his stomach, and Penello, Hermione, and Luna were his favorites. There was no reason for them to be wronged in this regard.
Penello would have to raise so many spiders for the family in the future. Asking Maggie to transport the leftovers from the farm obviously could not completely replace the eight-eyed spiders' hunting in the Forbidden Forest, so he should set aside a special fund.
Allen hugged Penello apologetically, and then told her about his plans to reassure Penello.
Penello did not tell Allen a lot of troubles before. She took on all the responsibilities she could. She did not want Allen to worry about these mundane things, but getting so many gemstones was really beyond her ability. If Allen did not see her anxiety, she would have thought of committing a crime and robbing a few pure-blood families. But now Penello's mood was very happy because she felt loved and loved. Looking at Allen's remorseful expression, she could not help but hug Allen back.
"Penello, in addition to taming the eight-eyed giant spider, your most important task is to learn the Otherworld Oath and the Otherworld Gate, these two spells. It's best to use the confinement circle in the prison room as an extra insurance when you summon the devil, to prevent the devil from losing control after the will resistance fails. In addition, you have to learn related knowledge about the devil species. Then I will ask Albert to arrange for you to be the instructor to teach the Aura how to use the Otherworld Oath to summon the hellhounds. Your reputation has not been very good recently, and it will not be easy to change it in a short time, but at least this will allow you to regain the recognition of a large number of Aura. "
Allen stretched out his index finger and placed it on Penello's lips, stopping Penello from asking.
"Don't worry, Penello. The prerequisite for using the Otherworld Oath to summon the devil is that you have to learn the specific information about the devil species you want to summon. As long as you don't reveal the most precious part, they will only learn how to summon the hellhounds at most. If they want to summon other types, they can only use their own traditional method – a large number of sacrifices and time to summon a devil that is basically uncontrollable and can only reach an agreement with each other. "
Putting down the finger on Penello's lips, Allen took a sip of the hot tea and said, "The devils summoned by the Otherworld Oath and the Otherworld Gate are real. Unlike the projection of monsters summoned by magic, as long as the caster does not cancel the summoning, and the enemy does not use spells to expel the devils back to their world, and as long as they are not killed, they will always exist in our world.
Their outstanding tracking and trapping abilities make them very suitable as the Aura's military dogs. It is a good choice to let them explore some dangerous areas, track and assist the Aura in capturing dangerous criminals.
The most important thing is that the official departments of the wizarding world have begun to use the summoned devils to assist in law enforcement. Once the public gets used to it, it won't be long before Family Harris can brazenly use it in front of the public.
During the competition, I believe that many smart people have realized that the treasure was not the real deal between me and the devil. Before we taught the Aura this spell, we clearly said that this spell was a generous gift from Family Harris to help them confirm their thoughts. But what can they do? Today, the Harris family is no longer afraid of others spying on us. This is just like the Muggle's military exercise, and we can show a part of our strength as a deterrent.
Penello, the final competition is coming up. Dumbledore's attention is too much on Lord Voldemort and my so-called dark side. He thinks that we will be satisfied as long as Crouch falls. Foggy doesn't know anything. Until now, he still thinks that we are investigating Crouch's illegal actions to cause trouble for him. After the next match, Foggy would realize that Crouch wouldn't be able to protect anyone in his faction. In fact, Crouch can't even protect himself. "
Allen patiently told his thoughts to Penello. Penello's eyes sparkled. Allen showed his dark side to her without any scruples. Penello was fascinated by the expression on his face when he described these ideas about tactics, especially when she thought that Allen would definitely not show this side of him in front of Hermione and the others.
Similarly, early the next morning, when Allen handed a big bag of gold coins to Luna, before he could explain the reason, Luna, who was reading to Allen about the new recipe for Big Mouth Colored Ball Fish in "Singing Different Songs", took the gold coins and put them in her little purse. It was as natural as a husband handing his wife his salary. It was a very normal thing.
Hermione's reaction was the opposite of Luna's.
