Chapter 161 - Chapter 160 Fudge's Dilemma

Finally, under various pressures, Fudge had no choice but to exonerate Sirius. He publicly tried Peter Pettigrew to demonstrate fairness and also ordered the Dementors at Hogwarts to be recalled.

The next day, The Daily Prophet boasted about Fudge's fairness with the headline, 'The Public Trial of Peter Pettigrew, The Truth of That Year Is Actually...'

Lan Luo knew it was old news just by looking at the headline. The article didn't mention much about Little Short Star; it mainly praised how fair Fudge was and how he had previously championed Sirius. Lan Luo merely glanced at it before tossing it aside.

He could now establish a news department. Through the magic ring, similar to those in the Pirate World, he could publish news. Unlike Rita Skeeter who wrote sensational articles for traffic, he could publish stories about the magical creatures on the moon, and also gain immense traffic and attention through live broadcasts, thereby attracting even more people.

As Amber continuously allowed ordinary people to join the moon, people on Earth also noticed this. They finally saw that the moon had conditions suitable for human habitation, and major countries began planning to send rockets with people up there. After all, if they couldn't find people on the ground, they could at least go look for them themselves.

Lan Luo did not stop this. If they ascended, he could simply open a runic wormhole in front of their rockets, sending them back to Earth.

And as more and more ordinary people joined the moon, people on Earth learned more and more about the extraordinary world. Moreover, many ordinary people, after obtaining the magic ring, were tired of the pager-like days. They could project and communicate at any time, and if they spent enough money and had the consent of their friends and family, they could even teleport to their loved ones at any time.

Furthermore, the many advanced songs and movies within it also left them deeply impressed. Now, many people outside also knew about magic, and that one could complete a movie or video through meditation to create scenes. This led to ordinary people having absolutely no resistance to the magic ring.

Of course, this might be a bit of a disadvantage for Lan Luo, as the magic ring's energy source is magic. Muggles using the magic ring meant a loss for Lan Luo. Daji was not one to suffer a loss, so she immediately made them sign a dark contract. Moreover, if they wanted to obtain extraordinary power, they could spend a few thousand pounds to buy a bottle of magic potion, or trade for magical items.

Currently, many high-ranking officials in various countries possess magic rings. Some of them had some understanding of the extraordinary world before, but most were unaware. However, this time, many ordinary people transformed into extraordinary beings, and they would more or less show off. Therefore, the number of people purchasing magic rings and magic potions has been increasing during this period.

Many Pure-blood families grew increasingly anxious seeing this situation, but they also understood the other party's power. They had no solutions. After all, magic that could instantly cover an entire planet—they understood that even The Dark Lord likely did not possess such immense power.

These Pure-blood families initially wanted to monopolize the resource trade on the moon, but within the magic ring's trading space, many frustrated Muggle wizards also collected magical materials. Not only that, but the Brook school also sold many potion ingredients. Previously, these magical schools might not have been so closely connected, but with the magic ring for communication, professors from several schools gradually began trading. And because the results were good, some older students also started trading, and there was even a campus forum-like feature.

Compared to ordinary Muggle wizards, some fearless Death Eaters employed even more aggressive tactics. They directly gathered a group of people to raid places where magical creatures were bred, retreating with the materials and fencing them through the ring. No one cared about the interests of these Pure-blood families; the Aurors have been constantly dealing with these matters recently.

Fudge at the Ministry of Magic now had a splitting headache. Previously, the government was satisfied with the Ministry of Magic; at least they ensured peace and that the Wizarding World did not affect the Muggle world. Even if something happened, it was usually swept under the rug.

However, the current government leadership had many complaints about Fudge. First, he wrongly accused Sirius of murdering James and Lily, then he covered up Peter Pettigrew's trial to keep it quiet, which ultimately led to the disappearance of the Dementors. After this was exposed by the 'Daily Prophet's' dissenting articles, Little Short Star was finally publicly tried.

In the government's eyes, these situations were a display of extreme incompetence. The Ministry of Magic was now in constant internal turmoil, with many subordinates being disobedient, the Aurors being insubordinate, and Hogwarts being uncooperative.

Fudge now had no better solution. He believed that if another major incident occurred, his position as Minister of Magic would surely be lost. He could only unite all Pure-blood families while simultaneously pressuring Hogwarts, wanting them to hand over Lan Luo. After all, this magic ring was created by Lan Luo, and the magic ring's current uncontrollability had to be made controllable.

But their juniors could not find Lan Luo's true body at school; he was merely a clone there, so finding him would be useless.

Coincidentally, recently at Hogwarts, during Hagrid's class, a Hippogriff scratched Malfoy. He then focused his attention on Harry, as Lan Luo and Harry were good friends, which was known throughout the school. They wanted to threaten Buckbeak's life and Hagrid's position to make Lan Luo meet them.

They dared not act against Lan Luo now. Although they had some suspicions, the title 'Eternal God-King' was a recognized title in the Wizarding World. Ordinary wizards might not know the power of this prophecy, but these were Pure-blood families with long histories; they could not be unaware of its significance.

After Harry's plea for help, Lan Luo didn't ponder much. He instantly appeared before Harry.

Seeing Hermione and the others, Lan Luo was not surprised: 'Alright, what do you want me to do?'

'It's Buckbeak, that Hippogriff, Harry's good friend, he's going to be executed. We have to save him,' Hermione said helplessly.

Ron also nodded at this time, saying, 'And we want to save him and then place him with you, so we can still see him in the future.'

Harry looked at Lan Luo with hopeful eyes: 'We have no other way; we can only ask for your help. I'm sorry, Lan Luo.'

'Don't be nervous, it's just a Hippogriff. Isn't he your good friend? If I didn't go to save him, that would make me unhappy. I'd surely think that if I were in trouble, you wouldn't save me either. It's my honor to have friends like you,' Lan Luo said with a shrug, unconcerned.

The three of them were all very happy to hear Lan Luo's words. Hermione was the first to take Lan Luo's arm and said, 'I knew you were the best, Lan Luo.'

'So, shall we go now?' Lan Luo had no good way to deal with her either.
