Chapter 21: Infiltrating the Magical Guild

"Give me a room for one night. Canaan said to the fat man at the counter.

"Tofoos, why are you here that you're not on duty today?" he laughed at Canaan.

"You know, the security hasn't been good lately, so we've got to do some preparations. Canaan smiled, trying not to show anything unusual, he didn't expect that this fat man would actually know the Auror he was pretending to be.

"Don't worry, I know the rules, and I'll keep an eye on strangers lately. The fat man looked around a bit, then leaned closer to Canaan and whispered, looking like I was reliable.

Canaan lowered his head and smiled: "Take me up, give me a good room." ”

Canaan followed the fat man upstairs, a corner room with a window overlooking the street.

After sending him away, closing the door, and waiting for no one outside, Canaan took out the Auror, who had been under the petrification spell, and placed it in the middle of the bed.

"Hurry up and get bigger!"

"Stop!"

Canaan pulled out a bottle of Truth Elixir from his storage bag, which he had purchased earlier in Diagon Alley. This potion has always been under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and there are strict records of its sale, and he also spent a lot of extra Galleons to get this bottle.

After pouring it on the unconscious Auror, Canaan cast a spell to wake him up.

"What's your name, and why are you stalking me?"

"My name is Tofaux, and our boss Schuster asked me to follow you, and he thinks you have a problem. ”

"That Schuster at the airport yesterday, what did he find out about me?" Canaan felt that he hadn't done anything sorry for the wizarding world, and had always been a good and lawful citizen. And it was also his first time in the United States.

"I don't know, the boss didn't tell me, he just asked me to follow you. But he can see people's hearts and tell if others are lying. Tofoos said slowly.

"See through people's hearts!" said Canaan, surprised.

"No, I heard that it is the eldest family talent, and his mother also has this ability. ”

Then this makes sense, after all, he lied at the time, but I don't know how strong his ability is, if he can directly see through other people's minds, it will be too terrifying.

"Have you been doing anything lately?Is there any news about the previous Dark Wizard attacks?" Canaan wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more information.

"We discovered that the organization of the Dark Wizard was planning a covert operation in New York recently, but this matter is very secret, and I don't know the specific information. But I heard from the Boss that they had identified a dark wizard from Deresa, England, the owner of a Diagon Alley thrift store. ”

"Delan?" Canaan didn't expect that Delan's identity had been revealed, so it was no wonder that he never returned to Diagon Alley.

Seeing that there was not much time left for the potion to work, Canaan was ready to use the Celestial Mind, which he had only recently learned, and he had been practicing on Skarda for a long time before he could get started.

"Look me in the eye and remember what your boss said to you recently. Canaan stared at Tofoos.

Through the activation of the Regent's mind, a large number of images drifted through Canaan's mind.

"Recall all your colleagues, the specific location of the magic union, the scenes of daily work. ”

β€œ.......”

"Whew!" After many retributions, Canaan, who was not very proficient in magic, was undoubtedly a little overwhelmed.

"Fortunately, though, I was able to figure out a lot of details, and it was safer to pretend to be TOFOOS. "That's right, Canaan is going to infiltrate the Magic Guild under the guise of Tofoos, find out more details, and rescue Teresa. He suspects that Deran has been secretly captured by the Magic Guild.

He still has a few bottles of compound decoction in his storage bag, which can last for a while.

Although the trip was dangerous, Delan had helped him in Diagon Alley. Moreover, he brought a lot of things with him to the United States this time, and Canaan, who was full of self-confidence, felt that it was more than enough to save his life.

What's more, by looking at Tofoos's memories, he discovers that Schuster is not in the union at this time, but is on a secret mission.

As long as he doesn't meet Schuster, he knows everything about Tofoos, and he is in no danger of being exposed.

Canaan then cast a sleep spell on Tofoos, amnesticizing him, erasing the memories of the past few days. Having been ravaged by the Canaanite Regents and now erased his memory, Tofoos collapsed on the bed, his brow furrowed and his pale forehead sweating profusely.

"The next step is to go to the Magic Guild. Canaan cleaned the room and left no trace, then turned and left.

The American Magical Guild is located in the Woolworth Building in downtown New York, and is not in this wizarding secret.

As Tofos remembers, the union was located on Broadway, out of the wizarding realm, and it took him some time to get here.

In the distance, Canaan is lined with a towering skyscraper, the Woolworths Tower. The carved portraits on the outside of the building are all ornate and exquisite.

He came to a small door in front of the building, and the guard who was guarding it was wearing a cloak and had a grim face.

"Hi Pinor, why are you on duty again. Canaan said hello.

What greeted him was Pinnot's grim gaze.

"It's boring, it's like this every day. Canaan shook his head, learning from Tofoos's words and deeds. He's trying to play Tofoos.

Walking up the wide staircase, Canaan came to the main hall, from where Tofos remembered that the perimeter was heavily guarded.

The space inside was large and magnificent, and Canaan swept it casually, carefully remembering the location of each passage.

In the center of the hall is a roulette wheel with a magnificent witch hanging on it, this is Serafina, the president of the Magical Congress. Quite a few owls fluttered and circled over the hall, and some witches and wizards were busy at work.

Canaan made his way through the crowd and came to the elevator, where the doors opened.

There was a goblin standing inside, and when he saw Canaan say hello, "Hi, Tofoos." ”

"Hi Curry, put me on death row. Canaan smiled softly at him, death row was where prisoners were held in the union, on the deepest floor of the union building. If Deran is really caught, he should be guarded here.

Curry nodded and pressed the elevator button, he was a waiter in the union and usually took care of the elevator.

The elevator ran slowly, and in their free time, Canaan and Curry chatted about homely things.

The elevator stopped.

"Here we are, Tofoos. ”

"Thank you, Curry. ”

Coming out of the elevator, Canaan went straight to the person in charge of the death row. The person in charge of the reception was an elderly witch.

"I'm Tofoos, the team leader of the Serious Investigation Division, I'm here to check on the news of the criminal, is there a person named Deran who is being held here?" Canaan took out the ID printed with his identity information and said slowly.

"Teresa, do you have a full name? But we haven't had any new prisoners in the last week. The sorceress consulted the log book at hand, and then continued, "Hmm... I don't think there's the prisoner, there's no name here. ”

"Oh, thank you, excuse me. Canaan smiled at her, then turned away.

......

"Didn't DeLan get caught? Or what? But it's good news that DeLan isn't here. Canaan thought as he stood in the elevator.

"Curry, take me to the Serious Crime Investigation Division on the fourth floor. He decided to take advantage of Schuster's absence and visit his office, where he might find some useful information.

After arriving on the fourth floor, the elevator door opened, and Canaan's eyes froze, but the figure outside the door made his pupils constrict.

Schuster!

Didn't he go on a mission?

When Schuster outside the elevator saw Canaan, his Adam's apple couldn't help but move slightly, and his expression was a little uneasy.

"Boss, aren't you out on a mission?" Canaan asked first.

When Schuster heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm here to deal with urgent matters, the task over there hasn't been completed yet, and I'll have to rush over later." ”

He continued, "You come with me." Then he turned to the Investigation Division, glancing at the elf vault in the elevator again.

Canaan was a little uneasy, not seeing Schuster's different look. However, he vaguely felt that something was wrong with Schuster, and in Tofoos's impression, Schuster had always been a person who paid great attention to his appearance.

However, Canaan carefully noticed that Schuster's upper body suit was a little wrinkled, and his behavior was also a little abnormal. The most important thing is that Schuster did not discover his anomaly.

It stands to reason that his half-hung Occlumency technique is useless to Schuster at all, his means of seeing through people's hearts are extremely clever, and with the help of the Deception, he has caught a lot of hidden dark wizards for the American union over the years. Canaan didn't think he could hide it from him.

Chances are, this Schuster is also fake!

"Boss, do you remember the little wizard who asked me to investigate the day before yesterday? He stared at Schuster's expression. He thought it would be better to test it.

"Oh, little wizard... I remembered, some impressions. You know, there's been so much going on in the department lately, I've been busy with a mess. Schuster said with a frown.

Canaan smiled inwardly, he was now 100% sure that this Schuster was fake, after all, they had only seen him at the airport yesterday. However, he is not ready to debunk it, this person pretending to be Shuster came here obviously has some untold secrets, and it will be safer to follow him to fish in troubled waters.

"You report this matter to me again, and now that you and I are here, I need your help with something. The disguised Schuster became uneasy, and he prepared to leave. And his own purpose has been achieved, and it is undoubtedly easier to be exposed if he continues to stay at the union headquarters.

As he spoke, he grabbed Canaan's hand and apparitioned.

"Waitβ€”" Before Canaan could finish speaking, their figures disappeared into the hallway.

Then Canaan felt a kind of suffocation and oppression, as if he had been stuffed into a small pipe, and it was still spinning.

Damn, this is my first time...

Soon after, an alarm sounded in the American Magic Guild!
