Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

After a burst of "gurgling" sounds, the group of mermaids disappeared in the sea as quickly as when they swept in before.

The high-power sonar weapon was indeed turned on, but it was just a waste of time and did not cause any harm to the mermaids at all.

The only impact it caused was that the combat commander who gave the order to turn on the sonar himself let out a shrill scream.

Because his noise-cancelling headphones were taken off by Bourne who sneaked over and put on his own head.

Fortunately, his subordinates noticed the commander's miserable condition, and the group of mermaids gathered underwater did leave temporarily.

So, someone quickly turned off the sonar and prepared to take the commander away on a stretcher.

"Don't eat the sour radish!"

"Maja Fak!"

"Holishet!"

The commander ignored the bleeding ear and slapped his men who were trying to support him while delivering the "Quality Third Company" to them.

"Idiot, stop trying to flatter me. Hurry up and take out the thermal imager. There are invisible enemies on the ship. Be careful of sneak attacks."

Bourne was standing next to them, and when he heard the commander's words, he couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"This guy has some tactical awareness, but not much, and it's useless."

Because if he were in charge, when encountering an invisible enemy, the first thing he would do would definitely not be to let his men "search for the enemy in the void."

Even if one follows the tactics and strategies in the Codex Astartes, which is only highly regarded in a certain regiment that is not particularly good at fighting, when the invisible enemy is already nearby, the best solution is to first divide the soldiers that can fight into "back-to-back" teams to ensure that no soldier is left alone, so as to avoid being defeated one by one.

"This Muggle commander is now asking people to get thermal imaging cameras to find my trace. He is even more arrogant than the Inner Circle of the Dark Angels or the Inquisitor of the Inquisition."

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.

The sonar device stopped working, and Bourne immediately took off the noise-cancelling headphones and held them in his hands.

His psychic powers began to manifest, and he used the noise-cancelling headphones as a medium to spy on the identity and past of the Muggle commander who had just worn them.

Because this thing is very ordinary, Bourne can only see some limited glimpses through psychic foresight.

Berets, camouflage uniforms, pyramids, domes of mosques, CIA agent IDs, slides in conference rooms, green banknotes, businessmen smoking cigars...

"Sure enough."

Bourne withdrew his psychic energy, and the "Medium" noise-cancelling headphones in his hand seemed to be overwhelmed and shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye.

These fragments of information gradually combined into a relatively complete information chain in Bourne's mind.

This man and his subordinates are indeed field agents of the Lighthouse Country Intelligence Organization.

However, they are now cooperating with some wealthy businessmen to explore the legendary wizards and magic to see if there is any profit to be made.

This semi-official and semi-civilian organization has a strange name: Inquisitive Forces, or IF for short.

Of course, after learning who this organization was made up of, Bourne felt that this Yves organization should be called "Illicit Fortunes".

However, Byrne also admitted that the organization's intelligence capabilities seemed to be quite good.

At least, they are much better than the Ministry of Magic of the British Empire in terms of operational efficiency.

Because, even though the MACUSA had strict confidentiality measures regarding the wizards and magic community in America, it took this organization less than a month to successfully discover clues about the existence of the "Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry".

On the slide that Bourne saw, there were actually photos of Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, because the school is protected by magic and cannot be marked on the map, the Ive organization does not know its exact location.

As for why they were able to find the vicinity of the "Queen of Glory" relatively accurately at this point in time, it was because the organization had more than one fairly reliable source of intelligence - those sources of intelligence were also the reason why Ifamoni was exposed.

"10 Downing Street in London, the Elysee Palace in Paris, and the Federal Chancellery in Berlin..."

At first, Bourne felt that the intelligence source of the Lighthouse Nation organization discovered by psychic foresight was somewhat unreal, but after thinking about it again, he was relieved. The reason was very simple:

Nowadays, the Eagle Sauce is the big daddy of these three countries and the father who has the final say over them.

If they are asked to go east, they cannot go west; if they are asked to lie down, they cannot lie prone; if they are asked to stick their heads out, they have to bend their waists.

The secret intelligence of these countries was stolen by the CIA, but that cannot be called stealing, it can only be called inspection.

Even due to the efforts of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, the American Muggle government was originally unable to find out any news about the wizarding world in their homeland.

However, in the headquarter of other (son's) (sub-)countries, they also traced back some information about Ilphamoni by reviewing the communication memos between their national Ministry of Magic and government departments.

Because the organization has the influence of pharmaceutical companies, Yves is very interested in "magic potions", a specialty of the magical world.

Compared to the mysterious spells, the Yves organization felt that "magic potions" were a better starting point for exploration. Moreover, if they thoroughly studied some magic potions, they would be able to profit faster.

Therefore, through some means that absolutely violated the "Statute of Secrecy", the Yves Organization purchased many kinds of common potions in the magical world, and took them to the biochemical laboratory, analyzed and studied them, and conducted a lot of experiments.

However, how can Muggles who have even less knowledge of magic theory understand the "potion-spell integration theory" that even 90% of legitimate wizards don't understand?

Using technology to make potions in the laboratory will ultimately be like "chasing a wild goose" - a waste of effort.

For potions to work, they must be brewed by pharmacists. They cannot be made by relying solely on "technology and hard work".

Take "Dittany essential oil" as an example. This magic potion can heal wounds quickly. Its raw material is Dittany, which is almost everywhere.

However, when researchers took Dalbergia sinensis to the laboratory, no matter how much they extracted and purified it, the essential oil they obtained was not the magic potion "Dalbergia sinensis essential oil".

This is because, for the real "Baixian essential oil" medicine, the raw material Baixian and the finished product Baixian essential oil are just material carriers.

What really makes it able to heal wounds quickly is the magic that the pharmacist intentionally (unconsciously) reveals when brewing it.

Seeing that generic drugs were blocked, the Ives organization thought of looking for some wizards to make potions for them. After learning some information, they successfully learned about several terms such as "Extraordinary Pharmacist Association" and "Potion Championship".

In fact, if they secretly captured a wizard and forced him to brew potions, they might be able to produce something.

However, after learning who the "best potion master" is, the Yves Organization still set its sights on the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association.
