Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"Well, her decision wasn't unexpected. I'd already established a mental link with the little Thunderbird, and its mental state wasn't great. But after communicating with it, it's now able to cooperate with our actions. It'll provide cover for her when it sees Xhatia."

Anduin was quite satisfied with Xhatia's performance. What he needed to do now was to crack the base's magical barrier as soon as possible. Otherwise, just looking at the size of the base, it would be difficult for him to swallow.

Initially, based on his experience in England, Anduin thought this breeding base would have, at most, a few dozen people. He figured he could take it down with a dozen or so people he'd brought from England, but now he realized things might not be that simple.

After a moment's thought, Anduin lowered his head and looked at Hogg, "Next, focus the monitoring center on this breeding base. Draw up an overhead view of the entire base as soon as possible."

"And I need to know how many people are inside, clearly distinguishing between combat and non-combat personnel. I also need to gather information on the daily routines of the guards, including their patrol frequency, routes, and where they live."

"Also, regarding those magical creatures, collect as much information as possible about their types and numbers. This is crucial for subsequent containment and handling."

"At the same time, closely monitor Xhatia's movements. She's likely to use monitoring spider number 39 to contact us. If you notice any signs of her being in danger, remember to contact me immediately. If she's exposed, the operation can be abandoned directly, and I'll launch a full-scale attack."

"Also, in the next two days, I'll try to make contact with that Milan Claremont and record his image. Later, you need to see if you can find this person in the breeding base. Maybe he's the key to breaking the spell array."

Anduin methodically assigned tasks to Hogg, while solemnly watching the image of the magical spire's gate, wanting to see the structure inside clearly in order to crack the barrier.

Thinking of this, Anduin took out a monitoring spider from his body and walked thoughtfully into the alchemy laboratory, then began to concentrate on tinkering without resting.

Meanwhile, Xhatia, who remained in the breeding base, dared not be as unrestrained as she had been at night.

As soon as day broke, the entire base seemed to be activated, with a large number of wizards emerging from their residences and quickly entering their posts.

The guards responsible for security were more than double the number Xhatia had seen at night. These wizards, in addition to protecting the base's security, actually focused more of their energy on those magical creatures.

After all, a large number of highly dangerous magical creatures were imprisoned here. No one knew when they would suddenly go mad. The risk of working here was actually very high, with the possibility of being attacked at any time.

In addition, the base was also equipped with a large number of non-combat wizards who were proficient in magical zoology. They were responsible for the animals' medical care, breeding, and even training.

At the same time, there were also many ordinary wizards who were similar to odd-job workers, some of whom were not even wizards, but rather the Muggle spouses or Squibs of wizards.

They would assist the magical zoologists, acting as medical aides.

Or they would help in the living areas, working odd jobs in the wizarding shops, or doing cleaning, cooking, and carrying work.

At the same time, Xhatia simply counted the Muggle figures she could see, and she knew that her estimate of the number of people last night might have been too conservative. If she included these Muggles who were working together, the total number of people in the base was probably over two hundred.

At this moment, Xhatia, hiding under the eaves of a residential house, couldn't help but be dumbfounded as she looked at the scene full of life.

This was the first time she had seen wizards, Muggles, and Squibs living together so harmoniously. In England, most wizards had deeply rooted ideas of rejecting Muggles, and very few were willing to accept contact with Muggles, let alone work and live under the same roof.

In Germany and France, two relatively open-minded countries, their attitude towards Muggles and Squibs was more gentle, and there were surprisingly many mixed-blood wizards. Even many pure-blood families had become accustomed to the existence of Muggles, which led to the number of wizards in these two countries being much higher than in England.

However, Germany and France also disliked the Statute of Secrecy, but their motives were completely different from those of the extremist pure-blood families led by Death Eaters in England.

They rejected the Statute of Secrecy because they wanted closer contact with Muggle society and wanted more communication with Muggles.

To put it bluntly, the environment where they couldn't live in the sunlight made them feel like they had no freedom.

The Death Eaters, on the other hand, instinctively discriminated against Muggles, believing that they were not worthy of owning more land and resources than wizards, and wanted to conquer and rule Muggles, turning them into their own slaves.

However, wizarding societies with two different ideas both disliked the Statute of Secrecy. Perhaps that's why someone who launches a revolution against the Statute of Secrecy will gain a lot of supporters. Their motives may be different, but their goals are surprisingly consistent.

Therefore, in Xhatia's eyes, she quite admired that Jin Feixia could build this breeding base so harmoniously.

However, the more it was like this, the more she feared Jin Feixia's existence.

The most terrifying thing in this world is not the evildoer who commits evil with violent and brutal means, because terrorism will only attract the disgust and hostility of those peace-loving people.

On the contrary, those who use rules, or even legal means, to do evil will appear even more terrifying.

They will use a web woven from lies and interests to entangle everyone tightly, achieving their ambitions as if they were boiling frogs in warm water.

These people may pay more attention to fairness than official institutions, and they are very friendly and civilized to others.

After a long period of influence, such behavior may even lead to them being more loved and trusted than official institutions in the eyes of many wizards.

Finally, if someone wants to expose their conspiracy or oppose them, they will be met with hostility and resistance from most people.

Therefore, in Xhatia's eyes, if Jin Feixia really succeeds in completing the trick of splitting Germany in the future, then these breeding bases may eventually be transformed into legal institutions and use the entire country to continuously supply blood to those silver spear guns that pursue eternal life in the shadows.

Thinking of this, Xhatia couldn't help but shudder.

Jin Feixia's means of manipulating people's hearts are much more sophisticated than those of Thunderbird, who only knows how to kill and set fires.

At the same time, Xhatia also began to worry about Anduin.

It's not that she was worried about the safety of her lord. Xhatia knew that with Anduin's level of caution, if he was prepared to take action, he would definitely have the confidence to succeed.

What Xhatia was worried about was that there were so many people in this base right now. If they really leveled this place, how would they resettle these people in the future? And how would they explain it to them?

After all, there were more than two hundred people here, and Anduin and the others were not butchers. Moreover, there were quite a few Muggles and Squibs among them. Many of these people should be unaware, and it was impossible to kill them all, right? But if they were released, the secret would be leaked.

But if they weren't released, there were just too many of them, so many that it was likely they couldn't be kept secret, so many that Jin Feixia could use legitimate and legal means to investigate, and even issue a wanted notice for them.

It should be known that these people all have their own families and legal identities. If so many people suddenly disappeared, involving so many wizards, if it wasn't handled properly, it could even cause international disputes.

Even in the eyes of the people living in the breeding base, Anduin and the others might be equivalent to invaders, bad people who were disturbing their work and life.

It should be known that these people are not forced to work here. They have generous salaries and benefits, and they are not currently abusing or killing those magical creatures. On the surface, they are not even breaking the law, and it is difficult to convict them.

Under these circumstances, raiding such a breeding base might make Xhatia and the others public enemies and completely lose their legitimacy.

Legitimacy seems like nothing, but it can guide public opinion and label others as righteous or evil.

This Jin Feixia is more than just insidious. The breeding base he established not only provides them with sufficient resources, but is also equivalent to holding hundreds of wizards and Muggles hostage.

Xhatia even estimated that Jin Feixia deliberately placed so many legal people in the breeding base, because the more people involved, the safer it would be on the surface.

A breeding base with few people is just an illegal den, and destroying it is considered eliminating harm for the people.

And a breeding base with a large number of people, even to a certain extent, becomes a legitimate wizarding community, and attacking it at will would instead make them public enemies.

At that time, they themselves would become terrorists.

Therefore, in Xhatia's eyes, this breeding base has changed from a lucrative pie to a big trouble that could cause them to overturn at any time.

Thinking of this, Xhatia couldn't help but shiver and felt more and more terrified.

"I don't know if my lord has realized this. I don't want to become a German fugitive," Xhatia thought worriedly, and then she realized something was wrong, "That's not right. If my lord really considered this and then chose to give up attacking this base, what should I do? Do I really have to live here for a long time?"

At this time, Xhatia only felt that her brain was like a ball of yarn. She hoped that Anduin would not fall into this quagmire, but she didn't want to be trapped here and lose her freedom, and she was immediately conflicted.

"Forget it, now I can only pray that my lord can think of a way to handle it properly. I'd better not worry so much and just complete my own job."

Xhatia shook her head violently. Let Anduin worry about this headache. Anyway, the sky will fall and there will be tall people to hold it up.

She is not the kind of person who is good at thinking. Her biggest dream is just to become a carefree food lover.
