Beside the Black Lake, Hermione, who was in Allen's embrace, could not help but feel worried after their roles were reversed. Allen's actions would attract a lot of opposition, whether it was from the conservative pure-blood families, the even more conservative International Union of Wizards and Wizards, or even Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix. If this matter were to spread out, Allen would be the target of hostility in the eyes of ordinary wizards.
Hermione pondered for a moment before she voiced her concerns to Allen, "Allen, if you reveal your intentions, you will be the target of many people's hostility … No, I should say that those close to you and those close to you will be the target of hostility. I'm not afraid of that, but I'm afraid that those wizards won't be able to stop us from the front, so they will attack us from the back …"
Hermione wasn't worried about her own safety, but she was worried that if a member of the Harris Family was forced to take revenge in secret and something happened, she didn't dare to think about how Allen would react.
Alan understood Hermione's thoughts. He used his other hand to cover the hand that was clasping his, and gently stroked the back of her hand to comfort her. "Of course, I have already considered your safety. I know that doing so will bring danger to them. For this reason, in ancient times, I used the Viking Berserkers who invaded England and plundered the Anglo Saxons. I used necromancy to create a batch of high-quality Death Knights and stored them. The characteristics of the undead creatures, their outstanding individual martial arts, and the fact that they can equip any weapon we give them make them excellent personal bodyguards. They can protect their master at any time and are very reliable. Just in time, I'll bring you to take a look and bring them back … "
Allen extended his arm and let Hermione hold it. Then, they disappeared from the Black Lake and went to the cave deep in the Black Lake of Hogwarts. Hermione looked at the scene outside the water curtain on the wall in surprise, only to discover that this was the Black Lake. She curiously looked at the cave. The walls were painted with the blood of demons, which seemed to have formed naturally. She felt that this texture was strange but also quite artistic, and could attract people's eyes to linger.
Alan brought Hermione into the cave where they had been before, but he was surprised to find that the soil here was covered by a thick layer of white bones. He shielded Hermione behind him, and with a flip of his hand, the soil flew everywhere. The Death Knights lined up neatly in the pit were replaced by rows of wooden coffins with black and red magic runes engraved on them. Although the runes had been eroded by time, they still emitted a faint red and black light. The magic circle that Allen had set up to absorb negative energy was still operating.
Allen opened a coffin, and the eyes of the Death Knights inside suddenly opened. They jumped out of the coffin and bowed to Allen. Looking at their intact skin without any signs of decay, the flexibility of their limbs, and the speed at which they responded to their master's orders, Allen nodded with satisfaction.
Allen knew that Ravenclaw must have done this for him. After all, he had left a message to Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw obviously had more time and was more meticulous in these matters. She placed the Death Knights in the coffins carved with runes so that they could be preserved better. In fact, after a thousand years, the Death Knights in the coffins that absorbed negative energy were actually stronger than when Allen put them in — although this would not allow them to learn additional skills.
The lids of the coffins were lifted, and the Death Knights jumped out of the coffins one after another. They lined up neatly and bowed to Allen. Allen looked at them with satisfaction, but the clothes that they were wearing now were too simple and crude. They were just ordinary weapons and armors that did not have any magic power. After a thousand years of lack of maintenance, they had decayed beyond recognition. There were only a few days left until the end of the semester. He had to make them a set of tailor-made equipment for the Undead during the summer break.
Looking at the muscles of the Death Knights under the tattered armor, Allen thought of the combat golems that he wanted to make on a whim a few years ago. Although he had temporarily put the plan on hold and turned to developing service-type golems for civilian use, the weapons and armors that he had developed for the combat golems could be used on the Death Knights if they were slightly modified and reduced in size.
Speaking of service-type golems, the golems available in the wizarding world today were old models from decades ago. They had very simple functions, could only do some simple commands, and could not communicate with the owner. Allen heard that the United States Magic Congress still used them in the 1920s. Unfortunately, when he went to the United States with Professor Fleevy and the Ian Duel, he didn't pay much attention to it. Knox didn't notice it during the duel, so he didn't know if the United States Magic Congress was still using it. Thinking of this, Allen, who felt that he had almost never asked about the plan, was a little embarrassed. He asked Hermione, "Hermione, how's the golem workshop's research on the service-type golems going?"
Hermione was looking at the Death Knights and was amazed by how strong their bodies were. The know-it-all lady, who had already started learning black magic and necromancy, was not too opposed to this. Her attention was on the status of the Death Knights and the functions of the mageweaths on their bodies. After hearing Allen's words, she withdrew her gaze, sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Not bad. Because you've provided us with some core knowledge, we've combined the existing golems. It should be almost ready for production in the middle of the summer vacation. We're already working on the design of the decorations. Speaking of which, it looks like a giant squid …"
"When the time comes, give it to Argus? How about Filch? It's a bit difficult for him to take care of such a big academy without magic … It'll be great if the matter of breaking the International Confidentiality Act can be so smooth. By the way, Hermione, do you have any good suggestions on how to proceed with this matter? " There was no doubt about Hermione's ability to properly manage Family Harris's huge business and make all kinds of progress smoothly. Allen wanted to strike while the iron was hot. He wanted to let Hermione come up with ideas and let her participate so that he could subtly influence her without her noticing.
Hermione did not immediately answer Allen. She crossed one hand in front of her chest and held her cheek with the other. She unconsciously ground her teeth and thought for a moment before answering, "Allen, Family Harris's influence in the Ministry of Magic is unquestionable. This has helped the Umbrella Corporation's businesses to operate smoothly. Now that both sides have started working together, and with the influence of public opinion from the TV station, our influence in the British wizarding world should be unmatched.
Family Harris's actions in the British Ministry of Magic have brought a different sense of deterrence to others. In the eyes of outsiders, the Umbrella Corporation mainly covers medical technology, magic potions, the breeding and research of magical animals, and some industries that provide personal military equipment. Because we have a lot of magic potion technology in our hands that other companies do not have, and the magic herbs that are almost extinct in the outside world are planted in the tower, the quality of our magic potion and medical technology is better than other companies. We sell a lot of rare magic potions and set the price of common magic potions lower than the market price, so we provide a lot of jobs. Many poor wizards can afford to use magic potions that used to be expensive in the past. We have an important political and economic position, and we have maintained a rich and good social image.
In addition to the Umbrella Corporation's covert security force, which is formed by highly trained wizards, and the armed Aura under Albert's command. In the United Kingdom, we have a political, military, and economic lead in the United Kingdom. We should have no opponents on the surface. As long as we don't make public our goal of breaking the 'International Union of Wizards and Wizards's Secret Act' and arouse the hostility of wizards from other countries …
If we want to break the 'International Union of Wizards and Wizards's Secret Act', then we can't just focus on the United Kingdom. We can make the Umbrella Corporation and the TV station become a global organization under our operation through the International Magic Cooperation Department managed by Daisy. We can let the Umbrella Corporation and the TV station become a global organization under our operation. We can let the TV station be set up all over the world before it is popularized in other countries. We can be the first to make our name known, and broadcast the TV program we want to show them in the local language …
A few weeks ago, a subordinate from the United States, whose name is something like Ashford, gave me a plan to build a base in the suburbs of Raccoon City in the United States. At that time, because the liquidity was tight, a lot of the investment had not paid off, and we were focused on the monopoly in the United Kingdom and the plan to monopolize the Lord Voldemort, I rejected it. Now that we want to break it, I think we can use it to test the waters of building a base in Raccoon City in the United States. "
"You can make the decision, I'll listen to you …" Alan looked at Hermione with satisfaction. He originally wanted her to participate in this matter so that she wouldn't misunderstand and reject him, but he didn't expect that once she got into the role, Miss Know-It-All's little brain unconsciously revealed her talent in these management and logic matters.
Realizing that she was immersed in the plan again, Hermione was a little embarrassed by Allen's praise. She changed the topic. "How do we get these death knights out? There are students on the Black Lake. "
"Don't worry, Hermione. I will teach the students some necromancy spells in the next semester. Of course, the spells are mainly to summon undead creatures as guards. This will allow them to better protect themselves in battle or have time to search for treasures … But I'll leave it for today … Knights, carry your own coffins." Not wanting to waste them, Allen ordered the knights to carry the coffins with the ability to absorb negative energy on their backs.
After clearing the area, Allen waved his staff and the ground shook. Two fiercely burning flames formed a huge circle. After the flames burned out, countless skulls that seemed to be screaming silently formed a tall arch.
"The Otherworld Gate." Hermione murmured. This was the first time she saw this spell up close. When the Goblet of Fire and the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic were fighting, she was either too far away or busy fighting the Death Eaters outside the blue flames created by the fire shield.
"Let's go. First, put them in the base under the umbrella mansion. These Death Knights need to undergo a period of adaptive training if they want to live in this era. They need to learn modern English and some common knowledge before they can be competent guards. You know … the nature of these Vikings makes them like to use weapons to do business with you …" Allen shrugged and extended his arm towards the arch. Hermione came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Allen's arm. They took the lead and walked into the arch, while the Death Knights carrying their own coffins followed behind them like porters.
At the edge of the Black Lake, Hermione, who was in Allen's arms, couldn't help but feel worried after their roles were reversed. Allen's actions would attract a lot of opposition, whether it was from the conservative pure-blood families, the even more conservative International Union of Wizards and Wizards, or even Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix. Even if this matter were to spread out, Allen would attract hostility in the eyes of ordinary wizards.
Hermione secretly thought for a while before telling her worries to Allen, "Allen, but if you reveal your intentions, you will receive a lot of hostility before they understand your intentions … No, it should be said that the people close to you will receive hostility. I'm not afraid of this, but I'm afraid that those wizards won't be able to resist us in the front and will attack us from the back …"
Hermione wasn't worried about her own safety, but she was worried that if a member of the Harris Family was forced to take revenge in secret and something happened, she didn't dare to think about how Allen would react.
