Chapter 175: Shadows in the Dark

After listening to Hermione's question, Ryan realized that there are no hairy crabs in the UK. So he decided to give Hermione a good time.

"This is a freshwater crab from the Eastern Celestial Empire, and they are a very valuable ingredient in their homeland. In the past, when the rich people of the Celestial Empire ate them, they would also use gold and silver to create special tableware. ”

"Oh, so it's just a normal crab for food, right?" Hermione said bluntly.

Ryan felt a feeling of heart congestion coming from his body, and hurriedly said: "But the average freshwater crab is only the size of a human palm, and now such a big one has evolved into a divine beast called a river crab. Legend has it that this mythical beast can both destroy and create worlds. ”

It seemed that Ryan's words had calmed Hermione, and she quickly ran to the side to continue practicing her Patronus charm. Ryan was a little bored at this point, so he sat down on the floor and began to think about what the shopkeeper in Mahogany Town had said the enemy was going to do, but unfortunately he had too little information to deduce anything.

Just as Ryan and Hermione were practicing the Patronus Charm, a black figure quickly shuttled through the forest in a forest more than a hundred kilometers away from them.

After coming to the foot of a huge banyan tree, the black shadow knocked on a scar on the banyan tree according to a certain rhythm, and soon a black hole appeared on another small banyan tree next to it, and he immediately walked in, and the portal also closed, returning to the original trunk.

After walking down a dark and bumpy tunnel for two minutes, the shadow came to an underground building, and a wizard in brown robes saw him and asked, "Pedro, have you noticed anything wrong with your patrols along the way?"

It turned out that the shadow was a wizard named Pedro, but now he was dressed in a black robe, and most of his face was wearing a mask made of tree bark, with only his eyes and mouth exposed. He glanced at the brown-robed wizard sitting behind the counter, and then replied, "Old Jose, study your potions quietly." It's not your turn to take care of things out there. If you really want to know, you can ask the head directly. ”

After hearing this, Jose was very dissatisfied and said: "Pedro, you need to be respectful to your seniors, otherwise I don't know when the potions you want will reach you." ”

It is clear that this threat is valid. Pedro quickly turned the conversation around and said, "Of course, it's not a secret. If you want to know, I can talk about it. I didn't notice anything wrong around me when I went out this time, except that the spot above that caught my attention was now patrolled by an auror team occasionally. ”

"Aurors, they look like they have pretty sharp noses. However, this is also within the scope of the plan, and everything is not different from what the leader planned. ”

"How come I don't know, can you tell me about it?" asked Pedro cautiously. After all, he felt that the wind direction had become more and more tense recently, and the above asked him to go out on patrol every day without telling him why, which made him have a strong sense of crisis, so he wanted to inquire what happened?

"After all, it's not my turn to take care of this outside matter. José glanced at Pedro, "Besides, it's not something you newcomers should know. All I can say is that after this hurdle is over, we may be able to live in the sun openly. ”

"Well, a fair life. Pedro muttered as he walked towards his quarters. He was indeed a dark wizard now, but he never recognized the name: he felt that he had done nothing wrong, that he had only used some magic to survive, so why should he be called a dark wizard. Naturally, most of the low-level clerks in this organization are people like him.

A year ago, Pedro was a fresh graduate of Castro. It's just that he was born in Muggles, and he was relatively mediocre academically, and soon encountered the embarrassment of being unemployed just after graduation. The problem was that he couldn't go back to the Muggle world.

On the one hand, in the Muggle world, he only had a primary school diploma, and his family of seven children could no longer accept him. On the other hand, after seeing the magic of the wizarding world, he could no longer integrate into the Muggle world. Like Peter, even after living like a mouse for more than a decade, he was reluctant to stay away from the wizarding world and live with Muggles who were considered inferior animals.

In this case, Pedro can only watch with envy and jealousy as wizards from pure-blood families who are inferior to him in school are thriving in the wizarding world, and he can only use all his resources to survive here.

Finally, half a year later, he opened the door to a villa in the Muggle world with the dark magic he learned during this time, and then completely released the anger accumulated because of the unsatisfactory period of time to the family of three in the villa.

When he reacted, he found himself standing among the three corpses, still clutching a handful of gold and silver jewelry. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: I was wronged, so I couldn't be punished by those bullshit wizarding laws.

After this realization, Pedro frantically ran away from the villa. Thankfully, this was the Muggle world, and wizards didn't pay much attention to it, and the first to arrive was the Contingency Reversal Team. That's why he was able to successfully knock down the other party and run out. If this was in the wizarding world, the Aurors would definitely arrive as soon as possible, and he wouldn't be able to run away if he wanted to.

It's just that he's been on the wanted list since then, and thankfully, due to the wizards' disregard for Muggles, he doesn't have a lot of bounties on him, and few bounty hunters will do it specifically for him. But it also meant that he was no longer a normal wizard. The work, socialization, and even foothold of the wizarding world were no longer open for him. Not to mention that there were always Aurors who followed him from time to time to hunt him down.

But in the end, he was saved by the leader of the Order. Since then, he has lived here in secret. Although you can't travel freely. But after completing his daily tasks, he can take a look at the latest Star Times and study the magic books here. You can even occasionally go to Mahogany Town for a walk after drinking a compound decoction.

It's just that at this time, Pedro is looking at the little wizards who have come to Mahogany Town with hatred. So this time, after learning that the target of the operation was related to his alma mater, he volunteered to take on the patrol duty.

However, the leader can actually endure the fingers of the foreign Europeans, and I really don't understand the origin of those Europeans. Now the only thing is to hope that this operation will really make everyone live in the sun again, as they say. Thinking like this, Pedro changed his clothes and lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
