Chapter 13 Leave of absence
Canaan then asks a few more questions, and discovers that Skarda doesn't know much, and that he is only a member of the bottom of their organization. Finally, feeling that nothing had been gained, Canaan gave him another dose of an enhanced version of the Petrification Charm.
This enhanced version of the petrification spell is different from the previous petrification spell on Alice, and the petrification is more powerful. It was given to him by Teran, and unlike ordinary petrification charms, this petrification charm can not only stiffen people's bodies, but also cause the organs of the whole body to stop working and fall into a deep sleep.
Canaan felt that people who fell under this petrification spell were like being indirectly looked at by a basilisk, and could live for a long time without eating or drinking.
However, Canaan thought that this dark wizarding organization was creating panic in the wizarding circles of various countries, and on the surface it wanted to put pressure on the authorities and then release Greenwald.
But Canaan suddenly felt that their purpose was not so simple, after all, he was also familiar with the general direction of the world, and knew that Greenwald would die at the hands of Voldemort in the future, and he was not released in advance.
And in his view, this kind of behavior, similar to the chaos caused by terrorism in the previous life, will not threaten the official at all, but will only make the official determined to exterminate them.
Taking a step back, even if the official can't withstand the pressure to release Greenwald, he is old and his strength is not one in ten, how much role does he have for this organization?
Canaan was now a little worried about Teresa's safety, and as one of them, he had the dangerous task of assassinating influential people in various countries.
Moreover, if it weren't for Deresa's reminder, Canaan would probably have held an event at the Cauldron Bar, and it was hard to say whether they would have sent a life-requiring spell to their heads at that time.
Canaan casts a shrinking spell on the two wizards and stuffs them into a storage bag. The enhanced version of the Petrification Charm can stop all physical behaviors, and it will not be life-threatening if placed in a storage bag. His only headache, though, was what to do with the still alive dark wizard.
Canaan returned home and fed the two pets some food, and he found that after the last night together, the two pets were not as red as before, but now they seemed to be good friends, snuggling together all day.
Animal friendship may have come so suddenly. But when Canaan saw Sindra rubbing Alice lightly with her head, she suddenly felt that the painting style was weird.
And owls and cats are the same species, right?
......
After casually settling dinner, Canaan came to the bedroom, ready to see what was recorded in the ancient one's diary today, the golden shield magic he learned yesterday saved his life today, so he looked forward to the contents more and more, hoping to learn some advanced magic of the ancient one.
However, today's content was destined to disappoint Canaan, and after he skimmed through this page, he found that the records were all trivia of the Ancient One, and what happened between him and Karui, and there was no magical content that Canaan expected.
The only gain is to know that the ancient one is a woman.
"It looks like there's no harvest today. Canaan put down the journal in his hand and gently tapped the temple.
After relaxing, today's thrilling scenes appeared in front of his eyes again, he suddenly realized that his strength was still too weak, although he was very proficient in several general magics, but he lacked combat experience, and his magic power was not enough, and for adult wizards, his combat power was still too poor.
Moreover, in the process of fighting Skarda, his magic power could not support the golden shield for long, if it wasn't for the miraculous effect of the wand hidden in his waist, it is estimated that at that time, he would be lying on the ground.
"We still can't let our guard down. Canaan thought about it, in order to earn luck points, he has recently made a big splash in the wizarding world, and now it seems that he still needs to develop in a low-key manner without means of self-preservation.
The next day, Sindra flew back from outside, bringing with her the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.
Really. Canaan had seen a number of attacks in the daily newspapers.
"Yesterday, Professor Sladen was attacked by three dark wizards on Parklin Avenue in New York, two of whom were killed by the Auror and Professor Sladen, who arrived on the spot, and one escaped, and his whereabouts are unknown. Unfortunately, dozens of Muggles died in the disaster, and the Magical Congress of the United States said that the attack was premeditated and related to Gellert Grindelwald. ”
Many American wizards protested, hoping that the US Ministry of Magic would take responsibility for the matter and eliminate the impact of the matter in the Muggle world as soon as possible. ”
"At the same time, the French wizarding community has also announced that they have captured two dark wizards who claim to belong to Greenwald's subordinates, and that the organization is planning to cause chaos in the wizarding circles of various countries..."
"So far, there have been no incidents of dark wizards hurting people in the British magical territory, but the British Ministry of Magic hopes that all wizards can be cautious, and report unidentified suspicious wizards to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. ”
After reading all the reports, Canaan found that this organization was indeed unlucky, except for causing some turmoil in the United States, it did not even make a splash in the wizarding world in other countries. However, he was still a little worried about Delan and didn't know what his situation was.
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Canaan sighed, today is Monday, and he has to go to school, and now he feels that this kind of school does not mean much to him. With a group of children in front of you all day and a few difficult lessons, your time at school is simply ordealing.
"I need to find a time to talk to my parents about whether I can take a break from school during this time and go to Hogwarts when I am 11 years old. Canaan made up his mind that he didn't want to waste all his time in school.
After the previous attacks, he was very eager to improve his strength and research the means that could protect him, instead of wasting time on meaningless things.
Time flies, and Lincoln and Helen's round-the-world trip is over.
In the living room, Canaan looked at his father in Hanfu, and three black lines appeared on the door of his head, "Dad, you are..."
"Son, this is what your mother picked for me, saying that it was a Chinese Hanfu two thousand years ago, hahaha, I also think it's good, it's weird and good-looking. As he spoke, he spun around in a conspicuous circle.
"Well, yes... Pretty good. Canaan couldn't help but say that although Lincoln was not bad-looking, he always felt unspeakably strange when a foreigner was wearing Hanfu.
Canaan looked at Helen who had just come out of the change of clothes, her long hair was tied up, and under her delicate facial features was a light purple hanfu, which looked extremely coordinated. Canaan was stunned.
"My mom is so good-looking. He offered words of praise.
"Poor mouth. Hearing the praise of her precious son, Helen also joked with a smile.
"Canaan, this is a gift we have brought for you from China, you can see if it is appropriate. Helen took out another small set of hanfu from her bag. Then he said, "I've picked out a set for your grandfather, and I'll give it to him when we visit him." She looked expectant.
"Oh, well, Mom. Canaan reluctantly put on this Hanfu, then looked in the mirror and found that it was quite cute.
"We went to Russia a few days ago to see the aurora, but unfortunately, we didn't see it for three days. After that we went to China, it was our first time in China, the scenery there was really good, and we climbed the Great Wall. Lincoln excitedly recounted the story of their journey.
Helen next to her took out a lot of gifts, canned fish for Alice Ribbon, nuts for Sindra, scarves for Harry...
Canaan also selected a model of the Great Wall from it that could be placed on the table to decorate.
At dinner, Canaan directly proposed to his parents that he wanted to take a leave of absence.
"No, Canaan, you know, we'll try to make your own decisions on some things, but I won't agree to a leave of absence. Helen expressed her attitude, looking resolute.
"Canaan, you should know that school is not just about learning knowledge, it's about making friends and increasing your knowledge. While we know you're smart, and see as much about things as adults do, school is the only place you can grow at the moment, isn't it?" Lincoln answered, and he continued, "But we know you've always been very opinionated, and I'd like to hear what you think." ”
Canaan also expected the opposition of his parents. "Mom, Dad, I did it for a reason. ”
He pulled out the previous Daily Prophet, "This is an attack that happened in the wizarding world the other day. ”
"You know, by the time I'm 11 years old, I'll probably be enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but the wizarding world isn't as peaceful as it seems, with all sorts of dangerous magical creatures and evil dark wizards. Fearing that his parents would be worried, he didn't say anything about the attack he had been attacked, but simply briefed them on the dangers of the wizarding world.
Canaan paused, then said, "I want to be able to protect myself and protect you." And I can't learn anything that will help me in school anymore, and I don't want to waste my time in boring school. So Mom and Dad, do you understand?" he looked at Lincoln and Helen earnestly.
"Canaan, do you have to go to Hogwarts?" Helen looked at the various cases of attacks in the newspapers, and found that the wizarding world was not safe, and she suddenly did not want Canaan to contact magic again, just be an ordinary person, after all, that world was too dangerous.
"Mom, you know the allure of magic to me, there's no way I'm going to give it up. ”
At this time, Lincoln took Helen's hand, "Helen, there are some things that cannot be escaped, and besides, our baby is so smart, we must have faith in him." "He knows very well that there are some problems that cannot be avoided.
Then he looked at Canaan again, "Canaan, Dad has never known that the wizarding world is so dangerous, and I don't know the pressure in your heart, but I'm very happy, you can talk about it and discuss it with your parents, you can do it, although we are ordinary people who don't know magic, but Mom and Dad must support you." He shook Helen's hand again, smiled at Helen, and apparently agreed to Canaan's plan to take a leave of absence.
"Thank you Mom and Dad. Canaan was also touched that since coming into this world, Lincoln and Helen had always understood him and comforted him in times of need, as orphans in their previous lives, they had never experienced this kind of family warmth.
He suddenly remembered a sentence that the Ancient One had recorded in his diary: "Love is the greatest power of mankind, and this power is greater than any magic." "But what is the love that the ancient one felt, the love between him and Karui? Canaan had some malicious speculation.
Before going to bed at night, Lincoln suddenly sneaked into Canaan's room and stuffed a pistol into him, "Son, I think this thing can help you, but you have to be careful with it." "At this time, in the United Kingdom, the gun ban law was not yet perfect, and many families had guns.
"Thank you Dad, it was very useful to me. "Canaan hide the gun, after all, this extremely lethal weapon can also severely damage the wizard by surprise.
"Well, Daddy is gone. Lincoln was happy to see how useful it was for his son. He walked to the door and made a cheering gesture to Canaan, then gently closed the door.
Canaan listened to the footsteps in the distance and fell asleep with a smile.
