Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

　　 Kars, a major defense town near Armenia in northeastern Turkey.

　　 In a newly opened magic tavern, more than a dozen Turkish Ministry of Magic Aurors gathered in the tavern, with their wands placed on the desk in front of them.

If you don’t consider that the time is close to midnight, perhaps people will think that this is the Auror’s team building after get off work. In today’s socially turbulent and depression era, no one can really stay out of the matter, even if it’s the Turkish magic far from the center of the storm. The world is the same.

　　 With the end of the Cold War, the Turkish non-magical world did not unburden itself as people imagined and immediately took off.

　　 As a bridgehead for the Western camp to resist the former Soviet Union, after the Soviet Union collapsed completely, the original economic support quickly withdrew.

The Western camp, which did not take advantage of the former Soviet Union market, but built a lot of financial and human resources, quickly awoke from the actual beating after a brief celebration: the financial crisis and the Great Depression will not disappear. If they can't get enough benefits from the ruined walls of the former Soviet Union, then they will have to cut spending on a large scale, otherwise the former Soviet Union today will be the tomorrow of the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries.

　　 Obviously, among the many fiscal expenditures, the size of the army and the police are naturally the first to be targeted.

　　 After all, not to mention the military in Ukraine, and even nuclear weapons have been completely destroyed. This courage deeply shocked all NATO countries.

A few months after Turkey’s non-magical government drastically cut its expenditures, the magical world also ushered in similar reforms. Although the reasons may be different, in terms of results, the two worlds have come together. Wave's wonderful dream linkage...

　　 Based on cuts in expenses, the Turkish Ministry of Magic has drawn up a list of members who will retire early after Easter.

　　 According to the rumors in the Ministry of Magic during this period, most of them were Auror members.

From a high-sounding perspective, this is mainly because they have suffered a lot of physical and mental injuries in the long-term front-line work, so the special approval can retire early. From a more realistic point of view, in peaceful times, the Auror We have no sense of existence for a long time.

　　 In this kind of frustration and disappointment, Aurors often come here for a few drinks during this period of time.

　　 Of course, this is just a phenomenon seen in the eyes of the beholder.

　　 "Is it safe here? I don't want to see our names in the newspaper tomorrow morning—"

Atif, the director of the Auror Office of the Turkish Ministry of Magic, turned his head and glanced at the goblin who was standing behind the bar wiping glasses not far away. He lowered his voice and asked his companions next to him, "You should know that we must not do this action. Exposure in advance, only the ministers know."

　　 "Don't worry, although this pub has just opened, its head office is an old pub in Diagon Alley, London."

　　 Ballard pointed toward the door of the shop, and the small sign of [Bao Ke Tavern-17 Branch] just lit up.

　　 Broke Cauldron Tavern, a family business run by the Iber family, one of the 28th British thoroughbreds.

　　 is one of the few wizard taverns with a long history and run by a family of pure-blood wizards. From the second half of last year, the Broken Cauldron Tavern suddenly began to expand across Europe. In this era of economic downturn, even wizards need a place where they can quietly drink a few drinks.

　　 "A shop opened by a British? How come there will be a fairy bartender — they have invested in Gringotts?"

　　 Atif raised his eyebrows non-committal, shook the cold beer in his glass, and looked at the fairy curiously.

　　 At least in the Turkish magic world, a fairy working in a wizard’s shop is a very rare scene.

　　 "Oh, this phenomenon will only increase, as for the reason..."

　　 Ballard glanced at the goblin, took a drink from his glass, and sighed heavily.

"In fact, just like us, it is not all caused by the Jin Jialong reforms-now Gringotts has no coin rights, and their annual investment income has to be taxed to the Ministry of Magic in proportion, and many goblins can only get it. Find some work on my own. I don’t understand. You said that the department is clearly rich now, but why is it even more embarrassing than before. Just a few days after the salary increase, why did you say that you are cutting expenses..."

　　 "It's because the ministry finally has money, so we have to do something to prove the value of the Auror."

　　 Atif looked at the shaking wine in the glass and sighed quietly.

　　 Some time ago, the fairies of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank made a decision that "violated the ancestral precepts":

　　 They handed over to the wizards the Gringotts Wizarding Bank’s currency issuance, casting rights, and pricing rights for thousands of years in the magic world.

And with this change, the magic world of all countries also received the business tax of last year paid by the Gringotts fairies at the same time. From that moment on, the magic governments of all countries seemed to have opened the door to a new world. They were truly eager I have experienced the good taste of "government finance".

　　 During the initial period of "Financial Return", the Ministry of Magic of various countries carried out a round of treatment increases of different proportions.

　　 But shortly afterwards, the staff of the Ministry of Magic received various new regulations and assessment adjustments.

　　 Spending money from Gringotts goblins and taking money out of their own pockets are obviously two completely different experiences.

　　 No matter where it is, violence is always one of the most expensive items.

The nature of the work of the Aurors is determined. They have a salary line that is significantly higher than that of other departments of the Ministry of Magic. However, when their daily work content is put in meetings to discuss cost-effectiveness, the number of Aurors attendance in peace times, The Fantastic Beast Commissioner hasn't even come frequently yet.

　　 A month ago, the Turkish Council of Ministers of Magic issued an ultimatum to Atif's Auror office.

If they are unable to submit a convincing work plan before Easter and fail to get a good result, the Auror office will be reduced proportionally to a quarter of the original number, with "early retirement" and "voluntary reduction" "Salary", "transfer"...There are many methods anyway.

　　 In fact, this "disguised layoffs" pressure is almost in front of the Aurors of every magic government.

　　 Except... the British Ministry of Magic.

　　Under such a bad environment, the British Auror Command not only did not lay off staff, but started an expansion plan.

　　Unlike those who watched the lively society, the Aurors in troubled countries saw the break-through method for the first time-take the initiative to attack the dark creatures on a large scale! Among the many dark creatures, the werewolf is undoubtedly the most topical and exposed.

　　 "Are the wizards in Armenia reliable? Have you ever dealt with them?"

　　 Atif took a sip of the wine in his glass and turned to look at his deputy.

　　 "People, it's hard to say. But they are definitely more anxious than us—"

　　 Ballard said with a grin, and poured himself another glass of clarified white wine.

"The former Soviet Union’s “Ministry of Magical Internal Affairs” disintegrated too quickly, and they are now in a mess. Compared to those of us who have the foundation, whether it is the Armenian Ministry of Magic or the Azerbaijan Ministry of Magic... They have even achieved historical results. It has to be traced back more than a hundred years ago. And if you want to share the merits of the'Magic Interior Ministry' period, then the new achievements during this period are undoubtedly a very important capital."

　　 "We set off at dawn and searched one by one along the forest-almost half of the werewolves in Europe have arrived, and their family can't eat."

"Do not--"

　　 Atif suddenly raised his hand, looked at the sky outside, and corrected him.

　　 "Remember, we set off at midnight. We had a fierce battle with the werewolves."

　　 "Of course of course-oh, a very tragic battle that can't keep your hands."

　　 Ballard was stunned for half a second, and immediately reacted with a cruel smile on his face.

Unlike the pedantic and rigid British, they don’t need to consider the imprisonment and trial of the werewolves this time. In this joint siege and suppression of the dark creatures by the Aurors, all they need is the number to defeat the werewolves, not Those troubles that move and scream.

　　…………

　　 "Good time for proofreading, north of the Armenian forest is our hunting range——"

　　 "Don't worry, none of those werewolves can escape--"

　　 "Be vigilant, there may be wizards, many werewolves have contacts with dark wizards—"

　　 Georgia, located on the outskirts of Rustavi City on the Kura River.

　　 Dozens of wizards gathered together, nervously looking at the dark forest on the other side of the river, quietly waiting for the full moon night to pass.

　　…………

　　 Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

　　 The lobby of the Ministry of Magic was brightly lit, and the Aurors sat at their desks to rest and chat.

　　 In a few hours, they will set off from here, heading to the Armenian forest not far away to encircle the werewolves.

　　For the Auror of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Magic, the Armenian forest is too familiar.

　　 They spent a third of their time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in hunting and searching for dark wizards and dark creatures. Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan and Armenia were the two areas with the most frequent exchanges of people, and many of the members of the Ministry of Magic on both sides were relatives.

　　 And for tonight, or the hunting at sunrise, they have been preparing for several months.

On the sofa of the Azerbaijan’s Auror headquarters, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Magic and Auror’s director, Oleziad flicked his fingers and said casually, "We set off half an hour earlier-don’t let those Armenians pick up too much. Cheap……"

　　…………

　　 Belarus, Russia, Ukraine...

　　 A similar scene is being staged quietly, but this is a big plan they have brewed and driven away for a long time.

　　 Of course, more wizards gathered in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, waiting for the planned time to come.

　　In the hearts of many people, after tonight, the magical world will usher in a new era.

　　 And from the dawn of the new era——

　　 only the last six hours are left.

Great!
