After reaching a deal with the "friend" behind the closet, Lynn exited the Room of Requirement.
And he became more and more curious about the identity of this friend.
He has been guarding the Room of Requirement for a long time, can get the Felicia Ricci at will, has a group of relatives and friends working in the Ministry of Magic, knows many secrets of Hogwarts, and his tone of voice is not unpleasant.
And the last sentence - why not buy something else? - sounds like a sophisticated businessman.
Hey, businessman
Lin En suddenly realized that he had made a mistake before.
The Vanishing Cabinet was not necessarily confiscated by the Ministry of Magic.
Who said that after Voldemort's fall, Borgin and Burke's would definitely be emptied by the Ministry of Magic
Can't it be snatched away by other colleagues
Although it is a black magic item store, it also has some ancient magical items, which is a big piece of cake for those who are interested.
So, who is this person with ulterior motives
A name suddenly popped into Lynn's mind.
George Weiss here!
The twins from Weiss's house, the ones who lost their ears and their twin brother!
Yes, he has been a master of pranks since he was a child and an avid fan of strange magical items. With the funding from Harry, he once opened a magic joke shop in Diagon Alley called Wesley's Wizard Wheezes.
It is said that this shop has a very prosperous business, especially after the fall of Voldemort, it has become the most popular shop in Diagon Alley.
His younger brother is Ron Weiss, his brother-in-law is Harry, and his sister-in-law is Hermione Granger. He must know the secrets about the Vanishing Cabinet.
At the same time, his relatives and friends all seemed to work in the Ministry of Magic - his father Arthur Weisley, Head of the Muggle Artifacts Department, his brother Percy Weisley and his sister-in-law Hermione Granger, in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Harry and Ron, in the Department of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
When you think about it this way, the characters are very consistent.
Assuming that he really bought Borgin and Burke's, it would be natural to move the Vanishing Cabinet to his magic trick shop for display.
In this way, as the store owner, he naturally stays next to the disappearing cabinet every day, so he can always receive his news first.
Thinking back to his previous words, that the people from the Magic Supervision Department wanted to impose a fine, it seemed to further confirm this point. As a mysterious, unknown and dangerous magical item, the Vanishing Cabinet would indeed be targeted by the Ministry of Magic if it caused any strange noises.
As a shop owner living in Diagon Alley, he could naturally get Felicity Potion very easily. After all, it was the CBD of the wizarding world and anything could be obtained there.
As for the screaming letter, Lynn suspected it was a product from the Magic Trickster. George Weasley had witnessed his brother Ron being punished by Mrs. Weasley with a screaming letter. Perhaps he got inspiration from it and created the "Mrs. Weasley's screaming letter" or something like that.
Lin En was simply amazed at his own intelligence.
It would be very interesting if we could confirm that the man was George Weiss.
…
"What? Four kilograms of gold?" After returning home, Lynn called Stark to apply for funding.
"Yes, Mr. Stark, gold is an important medium for magic. I know it's a bit much, but compared to-"
"No, I mean you can apply for this amount of funds directly from Pepper, there's no need to go through me."
Lynn thought Stark disagreed and was trying to give a more convincing reason, but he didn't expect that Stark actually thought he was making a fuss out of nothing.
"You said that it was a kind of magic that could bring good luck to people? Can it be replicated? I really need this, too. I've been studying quantum physics lately, but experiments in this subject require a lot of luck."
"Yes, Mr. Stark, but abuse will lead to certain negative effects." Lynn thought about it and didn't elaborate.
Because the names of those negative effects are - Arrogance, Recklessness, and Hubris.
Normally, these words were tailor-made for Iron Man by the media, and Lynn didn't think Stark would like to hear them.
“How many times is considered abuse
"Maybe three times, and no more than three times in a lifetime." Lynn remembered Professor Slughorn, who gave the Felicia Felix to Harry Potter. He had only drunk it three times in his life at most.
"OK, maybe I should have Happy go to Los Angeles to get 16 kilograms of gold, and then purchase the additional 3 from you. This shouldn't fall into the category of abuse, right?"
Stark's tone was very relaxed.
"No… no problem, Mr. Stark."
Lin En was dumbfounded. This was sixteen kilograms of gold, nearly one million US dollars!
Even his backpack may not be able to hold it!
However, Stark was not joking. He confirmed it and hung up the phone.
OK, now Lynn can be said to be sitting on a huge fortune.
If all this gold is converted into gold bars, there would be more than thirty pieces, which might not even fit in the disappearing cabinet.
If it were converted into gold Galleons, it would be an astronomical figure. If the seller stored them all in Gringotts, I'm afraid the entire Diagon Alley would have to be blocked off urgently.
It's a pity that this gold can only be used for a passing moment in my hands...
Lynn reluctantly exited the fantasy time.
Soon, his cell phone rang, and the profile picture on it showed Stark's assistant Happy.
"What the hell, Tony actually wants to get 16 kilograms of gold for you!" He couldn't believe it and didn't know what kind of magic potion Lynn had given Stark.
"Hey Happy, Mr. Stark never does business at a loss, right?" Lynn said.
"Damn it, that's gold! Not those colorful lines in the stock market!"
Generally speaking, bulk gold is the best choice to avoid market fluctuations. Once this scarce metal is purchased, it almost means that it will appreciate in value. It has always been the favorite safe-haven asset of the wealthy.
"Relax Happy, this is a good deal."
Lynn certainly thought so.
Once the deal is successful, he will have gained the friendship of the man behind the cabinet, and it will be much easier to purchase goods from him in the future.
And if that person is really George Weiss, it is not impossible to get rare things like the Deluminator and Time Converter from him.
"Damn it! You forced me to fly to Los Angeles tonight. I hope I don't run into any dangerous people on the way." Happy didn't look very happy.
"Sorry, did I interrupt your date with Mei?" Lynn was very suspicious.
“Dududu…” Happy has hung up the phone.
"OK, now everything is ready except for the east wind." Lin En murmured to himself.
Once he gets the Felicis Felix, he will immediately find Nick Fury and convince him to help them locate Clara again.
As for what happens next, he will leave everything to his own intuition and play a game of hide-and-seek with Clara.
