Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1475 Failure

At this moment, in an extremely secluded room, a group of people standing by the window illuminated by forest green light, watching the righteous siege outside, were bursting into cheers.

 No one could survive such a siege.

Even Voldemort is no exception.

 After the green light outside dissipates, they can go out and help the Dark Lord collect the body.

This means that everyone will have a large bounty in their account, and there is nothing more satisfying than this.

“I don’t know if the International Federation of Wizards will regret offering such a high reward.” It’s really worrying that the task is completed so easily.

“Don’t worry, the International Federation of Wizards will definitely not break the contract easily even for the sake of its own credibility.” Someone comforted.

This kind of thing will become clear if you think about it.

 “Are you ready for champagne?” Someone suggested, “We should celebrate.”

"Ahem, don't go too far. The celebration party can be held after this matter is over."

While the bounty hunters were chatting and laughing happily, a terrifying devil's flame swept out from the green forest light and turned into a raging shock wave that swept in all directions, swallowing up the shameful group of sneak attackers.

In an instant, the group of unlucky ones turned into human-shaped torches and fell down in pain.

This scene shocked all the bounty hunters. Their minds were blank and they really couldn't understand what happened.

Isn’t the mysterious man dead?

"How can this be."

Everyone stared intently at the only figure still standing there.

 Voldemort!

 That’s right, it’s Voldemort.

 He is still alive.

How could he survive an attack like that? Couldn't even Avada Kedavra kill him?

The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

 After a while, someone suddenly asked: "What should we do now? Go out and give him a try?"

 No one responded.

 But apparently no one wants to go out and die.

If even Avada Kedavra couldn't kill Voldemort, it would be pointless for them to rush out.

 “That guy should have escaped.”

An experienced old hunter suddenly said, "Don't forget, you can apparate here. The guy probably used apparation to run to a safe location before being hit by Avada Kedavra, and then came back after the spell ended. That’s why it looks like even Avada Kedavra can’t kill him.”

There's no doubt this should be the truth, but there's still no reason for a bounty hunter to go out and take risks.

 Isn’t it good to be alive?

They silently stared at the completely enraged Voldemort outside, watching him leave angrily without gaining anything. The bounty hunters hiding in the house protected by the Loyalty Curse did not speak.

As for the unlucky people outside who were burned to death by Voldemort using the Fire Curse, no one paid special attention to them. Because they were all just cannon fodder for dark wizards controlled by this group of bounty hunters before they came to England using the Imperius Curse.

Since the International Federation of Wizards allows them to use Avada Kedavra, there is no problem in using other unforgivable curses. Any spell is temporarily allowed as long as it can defeat Voldemort.

Due to the previous cases and their own safety concerns, bounty hunters would naturally not assassinate Voldemort personally. After all, they would really lose a lot if they died.

 They don’t get pensions.

Since the International Federation of Wizards can use them, they can also use others.

As a result, those dark wizards who had some strength were unlucky enough to be captured using the Imperius Curse and used as cannon fodder. The International Federation of Wizards has no objection to this. After all, no one likes dark wizards. If you die, you will die. It would be better if you can contribute to world peace before you die.

It turns out that this trick is really important. Otherwise, in the situation just now, they might have been wiped out by Voldemort in one wave, instead of continuing to discuss whether to risk their lives to complete the mission.

Voldemort's strength indeed exceeded their expectations. Whether he escaped from their encirclement at a critical moment or killed the puppets they controlled at once, he showed his extraordinary power. At least no one here could do that just now. survived the situation.

The corpses of Death Eaters lying on the ground are the best proof.

“Let’s go, use the portkey, and leave the UK as soon as possible. There is no point in us staying here anymore. Even if we want to launch the next operation, we need new intelligence, not to mention...”

The proposal to leave the UK has been recognized by the majority of bounty hunters. They are indeed a bit frightened. The UK is a really evil place.

As bounty hunters who have experienced hundreds of battles, they actually know very well that if they had not received sufficient information, they might have gone without a chance to return.

Whether it is controlling the dark wizard to carry out the attack plan, or hiding from Voldemort in the house protected by the Loyalty Curse, these are the main reasons why they are still alive.

The evacuation from Britain went smoothly, and they even found Conrad as soon as possible.

 After hearing the whole story, Conrad also fell silent.

To be honest, although he doesn't like the bounty hunter's approach, since the victim is a dark wizard, it's hard for him to say anything.

 How many dark wizards deserved their death.

 “So you are…”

“This bounty is not enough to offset the risks we need to bear.”

As the representative chosen to communicate with Conrad, Maurice, a bounty hunter also from France, expressed the voices of countless colleagues. Although they really wanted to obtain this objective bounty, after the formal confrontation with Voldemort, , they doubt whether they can obtain this objective income. The best way is to turn the bounty into a bounty plus employment, and let the International Federation of Wizards spend money to hire them, lest they risk their lives and end up with nothing.

 Where can such good cannon fodder come from in this world?

　　Yes, cannon fodder.

This is the International Federation of Wizards' definition of bounty hunters.

But no one wants to be cannon fodder. Unless they pay more, it is absolutely impossible for them to work for nothing. At the worst, it is better to give up the mission and go back to their homes than to lose their lives.

However, things went beyond their expectations. The International Federation of Wizards actually rejected the bounty hunter's proposal.

So the two sides immediately broke down the negotiation.

"Really don't think about it anymore? I think it's worthwhile to spend some money to hire them." Conrad really couldn't understand what those big guys were thinking.

 “They are not willing to spend the money.”

Babajide was also quite annoyed by this, so he did not choose to hide it from Conrad, "As for the compensation you mentioned, I actually agree with it, but I have no power to grant it to you."

"Why?"

 Conrad couldn't help but widen his eyes and was very puzzled by this. In his opinion, it was necessary to appease these bounty hunters.

 After all, they tried hard, even though they failed.

Although it is indeed okay not to give compensation, Conrad feels that it is easy to cause trouble, and he should not be stingy with the money.

 People also take risks.

"Because the International Federation of Wizards itself has no extra funds except for operating expenses. Even if I were willing to do that, I would not be able to compensate them with a considerable bounty."

"If you can persuade that group of bounty hunters to wait a few more days, I can try to help them get this compensation, although the amount may not be too much." Babajid also feels that this comfort payment must be given, otherwise those Will the offended bounty hunter find other ways to let Voldemort know that the International Confederation of Wizards orchestrated the attack?
