"I've said what you want to know. Now, can I leave... before there are more 'those guys' outside?"
Karkaroff didn't seem to feel very well about being suddenly bumped into by a man he didn't know - even just now, he was saved by Sirius.
However, he obviously didn't want too many people to know that he was currently wandering around Germany.
"Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Karkaroff!" But Sirius was unwilling to let him leave so soon, "Since you have already mentioned the internal strife in the Brandt family, why not Can you say a few more words? You know, many people outside are very interested in the changes here!"
"Then what do you want to know?"
Karkaroff frowned, looking at his uneasy look, as if he was a Muggle passenger waiting for a delayed flight in the airport terminal.
However, after asking this question, he seemed to have realized something. He looked hesitantly at Sirius, who was still leaning against the wall with a leisurely look on his face, and said:
"Wait a minute... Who do you belong to? At this time, you are wandering around the front line and you are so concerned about the Brandt family. Are you... Haierbo's -"
"Hey!"
Hearing Karkaroff making wild assumptions about his identity, Sirius originally didn't want to pay attention. After all, as long as his identity is not exposed at will, no matter what he asks, it will be difficult for Karkaroff to assume his position, and his answers will not be too targeted.
But this guy actually tried to drag himself to Haierbo's side as soon as he came up, which was a bit intolerable.
"Okay!" After glaring at him angrily, Sirius waved his hands and said, "It's okay to tell you. I'm from the Order of the Phoenix - you should know it?"
"Dumbley... no, Maclean?"
When Karkaroff heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be in a slightly subtle mood.
"Well... yes." Sirius paused for a moment, and seemed to be distracted for a moment, but it was Sirius who quickly continued, "In short, Germany, the second battlefield, obviously cannot be left alone, and in the disaster At this stage where the situation continues to expand, if you want to solve the problem as soon as possible, you must start with the Brandt family... Karkaroff, I don't want to worry about your escape from Durmstrang. Where do you want to escape? Where to run away - I just want to know what decision the Brandt family will make next, and...when will those rusty-brained bastards of their family leave?"
By the end, Sirius' tone had turned very bad. Because after witnessing with his own eyes the current situation in Germany, which was even worse than that in Britain some time ago, he had long been disappointed with the Brandt family, the so-called "big family" on the surface.
"This..." Karkaroff shrugged, "As I said just now, the radicals and conservatives in the Brandt family are still at a stalemate, so... you know, in the end, the other side will definitely win. We will decide what to do! The most I can tell you is that my 'old friend' Edward may not be able to keep his position as head of the family."
"I remember that Edward Brandt was a radical like the previous head of the family... So, when the conservatives win, the Brandt family will withdraw from Germany?" Sirius thought for a while and said thoughtfully.
"That's right, so I left early and didn't stay with Edward any longer." Karkaroff rubbed the itchy stubble with the handle of his cane and said nonchalantly, "No matter what you choose, The Brandt family will definitely suffer heavy losses this time... It’s just a pity that there are several large dragon farms in the territory!”
Although he kept saying that Edward Brandt was his "old friend", when it came to mentioning the fact that the other party was likely to lose in the battle for the head of the family, Karkaroff acted as if it had nothing to do with him. A carefree attitude. I have to say, it's really unlucky to be friends with this guy.
Sirius looked at him, with a trace of contempt clearly showing on his face. He glanced at Karkaroff and said:
"Is that true? Okay, you can go! Go wherever you want! The further away from the battlefield, the better."
"That's exactly what I planned."
Karkaroff naturally saw Sirius's undisguised contempt for him - and of course he felt uncomfortable. But compared to this insignificant contempt, the living corpses wandering around outside were obviously much more important to him.
"Oh! Wait a minute!" Seeing Karkaroff about to run out, Sirius suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted to stop him, "When you first talked about the internal strife in the Brandt family, didn't you Did you mention something like 'outsiders took advantage of the opportunity to break in'?"
"Um?"
Karkarov's figure that had already reached the door paused briefly.
"Yes? No, no... you must have heard wrong."
Before he finished speaking, Karkaroff did not stay any longer and quickly left from the iron gate through which he had just entered. Sirius took two quick steps, peeked out from the door and glanced left and right, but he couldn't see the figure of the guy anywhere.
"Tsk."
Although if some means are used, it may not be possible to expose the opponent's body again, but now there is no need for that. Sirius shook his head and shrank back into the door again. When he came out of the old apartment building again, he had transformed back into the agile black dog.
"Someone interfered in the Brandt family's family affairs, and it was the person Karkaroff didn't want to say more about... Could it be Mr. Blois who never showed up this time?"
While Sirius nimbly avoided the living corpses that might find him, he trotted away and continued his previous journey, while his mind was still thinking about the information he took out from Karkaroff's mouth.
Of course he would not believe Karkaroff's last words, but no matter who the other person mentioned might be, the result was always that "someone or some force" intended to promote the Brandt family's retreat.
And obviously, this was exactly the change in form that Sirius was looking forward to.
In this second battlefield that is getting worse and worse, the Brandt family, which was originally the number one local resistance force, has now gradually become a big obstacle - but the sooner you get out, the better.
Of course, the more important thing is that Sirius' most urgent goal at the moment is to meet with Minerva McGonagall and other Hogwarts teachers and students.
"There are indeed very few outstanding 'pure-blood families'... Now it seems that, except for the Blois family in France, all of them are really either madmen or idiots."
In the shadows, the black dog curled his lips and said.
