Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“You're well-informed,” Anduin said, glancing pointedly at Feng. “Are you also British? Or perhaps you are…”

“Just as you suspect, I'm in the information business. As you're a newly famous figure in Britain, gathering information about you isn't difficult,” Feng said with a grin, flattering him.

He hadn't expected to run into this wealthy man in Britain. According to his sources, Anduin's alchemy business had already spanned across Europe, reaching trade agreements with magical guilds in various countries. He had also heard that he was deeply favored and valued by the great alchemists of Egypt.

This young wizard was likely to become a rising star in the wizarding world. He had stumbled upon such a golden opportunity and had to seize it.

However, Feng wasn't sure why Anduin had come to Germany, but he assumed that since the man was unfamiliar with the place, he might need his services, so Feng was extremely attentive.

“So, an information merchant,” Anduin said, not surprised. He nodded slightly and continued to look at Feng. “What services can you provide me? I wouldn't mind using your power, but I don't know much about you, especially your capabilities. After all, information merchants also come in different levels, don't they?”

Anduin didn't waste words and didn't hesitate to say that he needed help.

“As expected of someone who runs a multinational trading company at such a young age, you're straightforward,” Feng said, flattering him upon hearing Anduin's tone, knowing that he was dealing with a big spender.

“As for my capabilities, you don't need to worry. I'm quite confident in my information gathering, and not just in Germany, I have my own sources throughout Europe. As long as you need it, I can provide it for you. Of course, as for the price…” Feng said, involuntarily rubbing his fingers together.

“Since you know me, you should also know my strength. As long as your information is timely and comprehensive, money is not a problem!”

Anduin found Feng to be quite confident and then probed, “Do you know about the Silver Spears?”

“The Silver Spears? That smuggling group that spans Europe?” Feng was startled when Anduin mentioned the Silver Spears. He thought this guy had come to Germany for business, why was he suddenly asking about this organization?

However, as an information peddler, it was against his code to inquire about a client's background, so he didn't ask further. “This organization has a large business scale, but it operates very secretly, so not much information has leaked out. However, I do know a lot of inside information. It just depends on whether you want 'basic information', 'detailed information', or 'particularly detailed information'. I charge based on the level of detail.”

Feng confidently raised his glass to Anduin, then took a leisurely sip, as if signaling him to ask whatever he wanted.

“Oh? It seems you do have something. You actually know about this organization,” Anduin said, unsure if the other party was genuinely capable or just bluffing. So he asked, “Do you know who the leader of the Silver Spears is? His code name? His current location?”

“Pfft!” Feng didn't expect Anduin to ask such an outrageous question right away, and he couldn't help but spit out the brandy he had just drunk. Fortunately, he didn't spit it directly at Anduin.

“You're asking for the impossible, aren't you? This organization is very secretive. How could I possibly know the leader's information? And what do you mean by code name? Do the people in this organization all have code names?” Feng did know the locations of several black markets under the Silver Spears and the people who managed them, but he had never heard of code names.

“You don't even know about code names?” Anduin glanced at Feng with some disdain, clearly questioning his level of expertise.

“This…” Feng saw Anduin's expression and immediately understood what it meant, so he immediately retorted, “I don't currently have in-depth information about this organization, but I can immediately inquire for you. Please don't question my ability to gather information!”

“Alright, alright, I roughly know what level you're at.” Anduin was just casually testing him. He didn't expect to get too much information from Feng, as he knew more about the Silver Spears.

When Feng heard Anduin's words, his face flushed with anxiety. He couldn't help but get anxious when his profession was looked down upon. He opened his mouth to retort, but Anduin immediately stopped him with a wave of his hand.

“There's no need to say more. Let's stop talking about the Silver Spears.” Anduin immediately stopped the conversation, knowing that it was too late to have Feng gather information. It was better to rely on himself, so he changed the subject.

“I need some information on the German business scene. Help me compile a list of the top ten business associations in Germany, along with their detailed information, including information about their current owners, history, scope of business, whether they have international trade experience, store locations, average daily traffic, political leanings, etc.”

Anduin quickly made a series of requests to Feng, then took out 50 Galleons in cash from his person, put them in a leather bag, and slapped it directly in front of Feng.

“With your means, it shouldn't be a problem to get this information, right? The more detailed the information, the better. These 50 Galleons are the deposit, and I'll pay another 50 Galleons after it's done. Is that enough?” Anduin asked domineeringly.

“Enough… enough.” Feng didn't expect the other party to change the subject so quickly, going directly from the Silver Spears to business associations, but he was quickly attracted by the Galleons in front of him and immediately accepted the bag of money.

“Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll be staying directly in this tavern. Come find me when you've organized the information list. With your level, you should be able to find my room. I'll then consider further cooperation based on the detail of the information you collect.”

After saying that, Anduin got up directly and walked to the counter to book a room without looking back. In his eyes, Feng didn't even know that the Silver Spears had code names, so he was probably just an ordinary information merchant. He would have the other party help him organize some business information, but he didn't plan to rely on him for other aspects.

Feng also saw Anduin's attitude, and he felt somewhat unhappy in his heart. The other party was suspecting his professional level and didn't trust him. This was simply a great humiliation.

It's just the Silver Spears, Feng secretly made up his mind. He was going to let this Anduin see what a real information person was!

Although Feng's little interlude had no impact on Anduin, he immediately closed the doors and windows after entering the room he had booked from the tavern owner, and began to cast spells on the room, adding protection and warning magic.

After everything was ready, he calmly opened his suitcase.

“Hogg, Shatia, come out.” Anduin called out twice, and then saw a husky chasing a bat out of the box, playing together in a very 'harmonious' way.

“Report, Master, this stinky bat is stealing my food again. She's stealing the dragon meat sausages from your vault!” Hogg said, snitching while looking at Shatia, who was flapping her wings on top of the wardrobe.

“You were the one stealing! I risked my life to save that sausage, you just let it slip!” Shatia bared her teeth upon hearing Hogg's false accusation.

Seeing these two guys being so noisy even when he had arranged them in the suitcase, Anduin couldn't help but rub his forehead. He should have known better than to bring these two idiots out.

“Alright, why are you two acting like children here? It's time to get to work!” Anduin said with annoyance.

Hearing Anduin's reprimand, Hogg immediately sat up straight obediently, and Shatia also flew back to the ground and returned to her original form.

“Master, is this Germany? Why doesn't it feel special? This room isn't much different from England,” Shatia said, looking around after landing, and then said with some disappointment.

“Don't be glib, what kind of difference do you want? We haven't left Europe, isn't it normal for things to be similar?” Anduin couldn't help but reprimand Shatia again when he saw that she was still not being obedient.

“Master, what should we do next? Are we still going according to the original plan?” Hogg asked seriously, knowing that it was time to get down to business.

“Yes, time is short, we have to act quickly, but the situation in Germany is more complicated than I imagined. The overall plan will have to be deployed after the reconnaissance results.” After saying that, Anduin explained the information he had learned today to the two in detail.

“So, Germany is about to split? This is the Silver Spears' base camp, could they be causing trouble in the current situation?” Shatia was surprised after listening to Anduin's explanation. How was this place like the United States, so chaotic.

“I have such suspicions, the Club is definitely manipulating things in the dark, but I'm not sure about the details yet, in short, we must first conduct reconnaissance.”

Anduin responded, then took out a large roll of parchment. After he fully unfolded it, it could be seen that this was actually a map of the entire Berlin.

At the same time, four conspicuous red dots were also displayed on the parchment, distributed in different areas of Berlin.

“This is a map I processed using an enhanced mask tracker. From this map, we can see that there are four Silver Spears in Berlin alone.” Anduin explained to the two after unfolding the map.

Then, pointing to a red dot, he said, “This target is 'Gold Flyer'! And his location is in the German Ministry of Magic, where I just went. The hidden identity of the other party is likely to be an employee of the Ministry of Magic.”

“Could the other party be a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic?” Shatia couldn't help but ask.

“It's unlikely. If the other party has taken the immortality potion, his age wouldn't look particularly old now.” After saying that, Anduin looked at Hogg. “This guy is key, you personally track him, first find out the target's identity, remember to record the images, but don't go deep into the Ministry of Magic to avoid exposure.”
