By the time the rest of the family had returned, it was already late at night.
"Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up." Morgan-le-feil stood up and took the cloaks from Owen and the rest.
Xenophilius, who had followed Owen back, ran past the Ministry of Magic to his daughter. Luna, who had just taken a nap, shook her head in a daze. She raised her finger, and there was no sign of injury.
Owen sat down on the sofa and said, "Luna and Hermione are frightened. Do you want to ask for leave from the Hogwarts? Do you want to rest at home for a few days?"
"I'm fine too. Thank you, Mr. Harris." Hermione did not want to miss the lessons at the Hogwarts. She did not want to waste time at home and let her imagination run wild. Instead, she planned to take some time to improve her strength. She was now a little annoyed. If she had more combat experience, she would have transformed into a manticore with excellent resistance to curses. Then, she would not have been subdued by the enemy.
"Tonight's news will report the demon's appearance in Hogsmeade. In fact, other than Aura, ordinary wizards have not been killed …" Owen Harris flicked his finger on the sofa. "But the people are still in a panic. Morgan-le-feil, I'll be back late these few days."
"Compared to these trivial matters, I think we should first study how to ensure everyone's safety." Allen looked up, leaned forward, crossed his fingers, and rested his elbows on his knees. "This time, Bair was frightened by Luna and recovered his divine power. He did not really hurt Hermione. But this situation is only because the demon was rational enough to make him hesitate. But we can't let this situation happen again. We can't pin our hopes on good luck."
Thinking of the heroic sacrifice of the Pluto Faction and Pluto, Albert clenched his fist. "An ordinary armed Aura can no longer resist an enemy of that level. This is no longer a war between mortals."
"The giants might be able to buy some time. But they're too heavy. They can be used as guards outside, but it's not realistic to have them follow you indoors. " Lunn crossed his arms in front of his chest and rubbed his chin with the other hand. "Should we call back Penello and the Umbrella Squad? Their strength is much stronger than the average Aura because of the internal knowledge we provided. "
"There's no need for that. They've already collected all the knowledge they can get from the market in the African wizarding world. Recently, they've set their sights on the unique skills of those famous witch doctors. If we switch to other people at the last minute, the mission might fail or be exposed." Allen looked at Lunn and said, "Hermione, look at the report that Four-eyed gave you. What's the situation with the Death Knights that I brought back?"
"Except for a few who are gifted in languages … most of them have some difficulties in reading and writing, but they can still communicate with us. They can understand some simple commands in modern English." Ever since Hermione met the leader of the Death Knights, Lynch, when she was trying to matchmake Lupin and Tonks, putting aside the natural resistance that came from her identity as a living person, she was no longer so repulsed by these undead creatures that had retained their wisdom after getting along with them and understanding each other. "We asked Ross Geller to modify the surface armor technology of the Battle Golems that he had developed a few years ago and used it on the Death Knights. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to use such heavy armor, but it's just right for them. Another thing is that they would always attract some corpses, ghouls, female ghosts, and the like to automatically run over to be their followers. It's quite troublesome …"
"I think we need to bring forward the schedule of these Death Knights as guards. The current situation doesn't allow us to slowly carry out the daily training for them to adapt to this era." Allen nodded when he heard Hermione's report. In fact, it was not difficult to let this group of medieval illiterates learn how to communicate during this period of time. "These Vikings were the elite berserkers under King Harald III of Norway when they were alive. Many of them were even members of the Valange Guards. The moment their flame of life was extinguished, not only did they retain all the martial arts and experience they had when they were alive, but they also gained a lot of damage reduction, special abilities and immunity after becoming undead creatures."
"Son, but if we bring these undead creatures out so blatantly … it'll definitely cause a lot of criticism." Owen said worriedly. "In the knowledge of ordinary wizards, summoning these powerful undead creatures is a symbol of evil. These Death Knights aren't like the zombies in Weasley's attic who don't have any offensive capabilities and only know how to eat rats, bugs and rotten meat …"
"We're only doing this because we have no other choice. Nothing is more important than ensuring our personal safety. Perhaps these bastards won't be able to defeat Bardi, but they'll definitely be able to buy us enough time for me or Luna to arrive as reinforcements." Allen raised his voice slightly and gestured with his hands. "But don't worry. Even without the incident with Bair, I originally planned to teach the students how to summon simple undead creatures to protect themselves in my ancient magic class in Hogwarts. It's just that the originally gradual process has become a little more radical."
"Previously in Hogsmeade, we were interviewed by the media controlled by other pure-blood families. Their words were very sharp. It's not hard to imagine that we'll have to face the slander of the pure-blood families in Britain. They'll spread rumors among the ordinary people that we don't maintain the safety of the magical realm and that we're a weak and lax regime." Lunn could not help but feel a little worried. He looked at his brother and said, "The people who follow Harris need to have a share of the cake in the hands of the pure-blood families in Britain. The conflict between us and them is irreconcilable. This time, if we use the undead creatures openly … they'll definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble …"
"What's wrong with the undead creatures?" Xenophilus, who had been circling around Luna, looked a bit crazy, but he didn't even turn his head around. He said, "Didn't the singer Tina Warbeck also raise a group of female ghost singers? A few years ago, I listened to two performances in a row. Although the ghouls' screams were controlled to not be fatal, it still made me uncomfortable for a long time … "
"It's mainly because Muggle and mixed-blood wizards make up the majority of the population." As a vampire, Aunt Josephine had a deep understanding of this. "The pure-blood Elder Walpole has been living with the vampires to create works. The ghouls in the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control are mostly rejected by the pure-blood wizard families when they want to help clean up the ghouls in the attic of Weasley's house. Many of them treat the ghouls as pets …"
"Tonks who aren't afraid of werewolves are also a little afraid of these things, even if her mother is a Blake …" Daisy mentioned her best friend's situation. "The education and culture of Muggle and mixed-blood seems to have made them very resistant to the undead. I still remember when I first entered the school, my classmates screamed when they saw the specters of the academy …"
"Since we've already predicted that Bardi's ambush and the pureblood families' incitement might cause panic among the citizens, they'll definitely use this to their advantage … But we can take advantage of this opportunity. That Bardi slyly left behind some compensation for us. Didn't he purposely claim that his ambush this time was due to the offerings these pureblood families gave him? We can also pour the dirty water on them … "Owen raised his chin, his index finger and middle finger tapping on the sofa's armrest." In this situation, we can't be weak. We have to be tough and pragmatic. Since even the safest British magic world is facing a crisis, not only the students, we also have to improve the adult wizards' ability to protect themselves. Allen, you can directly contribute the spells that you intend to teach to the students in the name of contributing them to the Ministry of Magic. Let us directly publicize it so that the ordinary wizards can learn and get used to summoning these creatures as temporary guards … By then, this will also be the trend of the situation and the will of the public. "
"We have to strengthen the concept of the Ministry of Magic's official license. I think we can provide free teaching and testing related to summoning the undead, just like the Transfiguration Illusion class. Only wizards who pass the test and obtain a license from the Ministry of Magic can use the undead to protect themselves." Lunn understood his father's proposal and further expanded the scope of learning. In the entire magic world, even the Muggle and pure-blood wizards had started to get used to using the undead. Naturally, Family Harris' use of the Death Knights as guards would not be particularly eye-catching.
"Even the elite Aura couldn't fight back in front of the demons. The ordinary wizards will definitely feel insecure. At this time, if we vigorously promote the magic of summoning the undead and increase their life-saving means, we will definitely gain the support of the Muggle and pure-blood wizards who have no family background. I can publicize some of the less important aspects of this magic. After all, I will also teach this knowledge in the ancient magic classes in Hogwarts. "
"The neighboring countries have also set up our broadcast stations to broadcast our program." Hibiscus Chinensis held Albert's hand and said confidently, "The TV station has always been under our control. Its ability to control public opinion has long surpassed the traditional newspapers."
"No, this is not enough. And we don't just rely on the Ministry of Magic … Now, we have to deal with more than just the affairs of the ordinary people …" Allen had already thought of a way to promote the program. At this time, he stood up with his hands behind his back and planned to tell everyone his plan.
