The reason why Jon chose to propose this condition was because he really didn't have the energy to do some things recently.
So instead of wasting time, it was better to just let the Smith family do these things.
After all, he wasn't the one who needed help now. Those who needed help would naturally try their best to complete what Jon asked them to do.
Moreover, the condition he proposed wasn't anything difficult. He just needed the Smith family to find a piece of earth core.
The so-called earth core wasn't a real earth core. It was a very precious material that couldn't be found in the material world for a long time. All kinds of materials, like the leaf he brought back before, could accelerate Helga's awakening. If the earth core was large enough, it could even wake Helga up directly.
After all, Helga's transformation had been completed long ago. The only reason why she hadn't woken up yet was because she was adapting to the transformation and the change of power.
At this time, there was no difference between waking up early and waking up later.
However, Jon needed Helga to wake up soon because Dumbledore's ceremony would be very soon. If Helga was here, this ceremony would be much easier, and it could also ensure the safety of Dumbledore's soul.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked Jon to come into contact with only one God, and that was her?
After he proposed the condition, the messenger from the Smith family disappeared for a short while. It seemed like he was looking for someone to discuss the possibility of this condition being accepted.
Soon, the messenger came back.
He brought back another thing.
"The elders in the family said that they did leave some earth cores for you, but this precious material is an important factor to maintain their existence. If you want it, you must first do something for the family.
As long as you complete this matter, the earth core can be given to you at any time. "
"All of the earth cores?"
The messenger nodded. Although he didn't know why Jon knew so much about the Smith family, according to the order he received, fulfilling all of Jon's requests at this time was the most important thing. The elders in the family weren't afraid of Jon's requests. They were afraid that Jon wouldn't want anything.
As long as there was a request, it meant that Jon still valued benefits. Then, the Smith family was useful.
The whole thing was so smooth that it was almost unbelievable. However, Jon knew that this was a huge mess. After this was over, he might not help the Smith Family as he had promised before. He might even turn against them directly.
"Sure."
But now wasn't the right time. If they turned against each other now, it would be too troublesome. He needed to get the Earth Core first and then give the Smith Family an explanation. As for what kind of changes this explanation would bring to the Smith Family, it had nothing to do with him.
He wasn't there.
"The elders of the family hope that you can give us what we need the most right now, which is the method to transform your Wizard."
"Conversion method?
Are you asking me for help, or am I the one asking you for help?
You guys really dare to ask for an exorbitant price. I can't agree to this condition. Please leave.
Since you guys aren't sincere, then there's no need to say anything. There are plenty of people in this world who want my help. I don't need you guys. "
The expressionless emissary obviously didn't expect Jon to turn against him so quickly. He probably wanted to negotiate with Jon and get some benefits so that he could get some rewards when he returned home. However, Jon didn't do as he wanted.
But even if Jon said such things, he didn't express any dissatisfaction.
Living in the Smith Family wasn't a particularly easy thing. Big families had their disadvantages. They schemed against each other and harmed each other. Over the years, the bloodline of the Smith Family had withered. In order to fight for a place to become a Wizard, he had done all kinds of bad things and ugly things.
Not to mention, he was humiliated by a big shot.
Yes, that's right. To them now, Jon was a big shot.
Regardless of age, Jon's strength was right there. No one could do anything in front of him.
From a certain point of view, Jon was more like the Black Demon King than Voldemort.
So he didn't need others to negotiate with him. He only needed others to obey.
"Now you understand your situation? I think you better understand this before you talk to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid the elders in your family won't let you go, right? "
That was indeed the case.
When all the conveniences were on one person's side, no one else could make any big moves.
"If that's the case, then I'll be frank. In the family, there is still a group of people in the middle class who can't become a Wizard. When the bloodline of the Smith Family withered, this group of people had to be abandoned.
But they are also important members of the family, so the elders hope that you can transform them into Wizard. "
"Only this condition?"
Jon thought they were going to ask for something even bigger.
"This condition is not simple. If you don't have this kind of strength now, we might try to get more benefits. But things aren't what we think, right?
Therefore, we have no other choice but to reveal our trump card and show it to you.
The family has received some news during this time. Her Majesty the Queen of the Royal Family is running around for you. We have seen what she has done.
The elders in the family said that since you have this kind of ability, then it is reasonable and should be respected.
And instead of wasting this kind of precious technology on transforming Muggle, it is better to transform the people of the same family. Anyway, you just need to cultivate some of your own troops, right? "
Jon nodded noncommittally.
He didn't try to deny anything, because what he was doing now wasn't much different from what the person in front of him had said. He hadn't revealed his true purpose, or rather, he didn't let those in the dark think that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. After all, most of his purpose was to guard against Voldemort, and the rest could only be added on and brought to him.
Voldemort was completely unaware of what they were doing now, and this person in front of him was representing some people, or rather, some families.
In fact, regarding what he was doing now, they more or less knew a little. Under such circumstances, denying it was meaningless, so it was better to admit it openly. It wasn't a bad thing to have this kind of misunderstanding.
After finalizing the price that each side had to pay, this short negotiation came to an end.
Jon didn't have any opinion about the disrespect shown by those old men.
After all, he knew that those old men couldn't leave the place where they were hiding. If he forced them to leave, it was likely to cause some unnecessary chaos.
Some of the old people there could even die upon seeing the light.
So it was better to let them stay in their tombs. Coming out … was really unnecessary.
The Smith family's condition was only to transform some of the old men into Wizard, which was actually not difficult. With the amount they gave, it would be done in about two days. Jon didn't have much time, but he also needed time to prepare the things needed to kill those old men.
"This kind of poison … shouldn't be a problem. At least for now, I might not be able to resist it."
In the laboratory, Grindelwald looked at the brown branch that grew out of Jon's arm and couldn't help but shudder.
Of course, this didn't mean that he was afraid, but it was a kind of physiological reaction. It also meant that once this thing made by Jon acted up, he was likely to be seriously injured.
If he was like this, those old men who weren't even Legends were afraid that …
"Where did you get this thing?"
"It's a poison brought out from the small world in ancient Egypt. It's a simplified version of the poison that Isis used to poison Ra. I made a copy and sealed it in a lead box. If it weren't for this unexpected situation, it would have been sealed forever."
"But have you thought about what will happen if this poison is released?"
"What will happen? There's no need for that. I've already filtered this poison. There's nothing particularly fatal in it, especially for Muggle and the little Wizard. It's even harmless, just like what they usually eat. It can be absorbed.
But for those old guys, it's very deadly. "
Jon brought out a touch of ash from the small world in ancient Egypt.
It was the poisonous ash that had been absorbed by Isis. It was taken out from the monsters that had participated in the banquet. It looked no different from ordinary dust.
But this thing was uncontrollable.
Jon was almost hurt when he was making it. Once the ash came into contact with the air, it began to grow and expand automatically, infecting the floating dust in the surrounding air into the same thing.
If Jon hadn't used his Legendary Omen to seal the laboratory when he was making it, it wouldn't be very safe now.
And the sapling in the center of his Legendary Omen could absorb these things.
Because they were also soil.
It was like a worm that was about to die of hunger and thirst after a long hibernation. Once it came into contact with rain and dew, it began to crazily absorb the surrounding nutrients to strengthen itself. Every inch of the soil and every bit of temperature turned into nutrients for its growth, and all the energy for reproduction was absorbed by it.
Then, on Jon's sapling, countless black branches grew out of the trunk of the tree like mud. They intertwined with each other and grew into a thick branch. They even hung down and intertwined with the earth, like a new sapling. Then, they took root and sprouted, growing branches, leaves, and other things. Then, an extremely vicious vitality emerged from them, transforming into light pink buds that bloomed on the branches.
The flowers bloomed one after another, and it was exceptionally beautiful.
In the end, it formed what Grindelwald saw, and it was just a branch that he cut off from his Legendary Omen.
A single tree became a forest. His Legendary Omen had begun to evolve into a larger number. When this ecological system began to form, his day of becoming a god was not far away.
Of course, it was too early to say that. The most important thing now was the branches he took out.
They were full of vitality, and they looked very beautiful.
In fact, they contained an extremely evil poison. Even those long-lived species who had transformed themselves would find it difficult to withstand the erosion of this poison.
Unless they had the corresponding antidote, or they had the strength of a Divine Master.
But in any case, the vitality contained in them was real.
Would those old fogeys be able to resist this temptation?
Especially when Jon could use some means to suppress the spread of the poison.
"This idea is indeed a bit interesting. If you are so sure that those old fellows will collectively explode at the same time, will they?"
"The poison is controllable. As long as they don't overdose, there won't be any problems. But for this kind of thing, I have prepared enough for them. Can they resist this temptation?
According to the information obtained by Dumbledore, none of them are not troubled by their lifespan. The Smith family has been silent for too long, and those old fellows have lived for too long. Even a Legendary Wizard couldn't live that long. They have lived for so many years by transforming themselves, so how could they not care about a longer life? "
He had calculated all the possibilities. Now, he just quietly waited for those old fellows to take the bait.
