Chapter 14: The Mysterious Circus (Thanks to the hall master "Deep Sea Turtle" boss for his 10,000-dollar reward)
If you look down from above, you will find the whole center of Paris, located at the Arc de Triomphe.
Taking the Arc de Triomphe as the starting point, twelve avenues stretch out radially from here, and the momentum is magnificent.
This wonderful design is similar to the world's longest urban axis in the imperial capital, and it is an aesthetic model of urban design!
And not far from the Place de l'Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe is located, is also the entrance to the hidden place of Paris.
The Hidden Place is France's most famous wizarding street, and in terms of status, it is the equivalent of Diagon Alley in London.
At night, William and Hermione are seen near the Place del Etoile.
Both of them wore sunglasses and identical caps, like ordinary couples who came to travel.
Walk through the square to a remote corner where a magical bronze statue is located.
This is the entrance to the hiding place.
Glancing around vigilantly, William and Hermione entered the statue.
There are many wizards in the hidden place, a brilliant fire dragon, constantly hovering in the sky, and finally exploding into brilliant fireworks.
William's safety watch, suddenly there was a beeping sound.
Hermione glanced down and wondered, "Sniffing again?" What's wrong with it, it's been a fuss all afternoon. ”
"Didn't we take all the Galleons it stole from the bar?" William said helplessly. "I'm sulking."
It's not good to sniff and make trouble, most of them are pretended, just take a beating!
Hermione was surprised and said, "Didn't you give it ten glass balls in exchange?" ”
"It's been giving too much lately, and it seems to realize that the thing ...... It's not worth the money. ”
"What then?" Hermione tensed.
"Or ......"
"No way!" Hermione immediately retorted, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Garon can't give it back, that's the legal income of both of us!"
Even Hermione, who has a full sense of justice, thinks that helping Uncle Newt run around Paris is also wanted by the French Ministry of Magic...... It's time to charge some errands.
Legitimate!
Sniffing is the exploitation of the two of them...... Ahh
It wasn't Hermione's unilateral decision, she was democratic and had convened an impromptu enlarged meeting.
Participants: Hermione, William, Sniff.
Hermione presided over the meeting and asked for a vote on whether or not Garon should be confiscated.
Before the vote, the girl also claimed that it was a secret ballot, so that William would not have psychological pressure and vote according to his ideas.
What could William think...... What did he dare to think?
Is there a difference between the two of them, who are anonymous or not?
The democratic Hermione was humiliated not to be the Minister of Magic.
So, two votes for one, the sniffing Gareon, was confiscated by Hermione and became her and William's first public property.
and it is legal income.
So Hermione was adamant not to take it out, she was going to store it in Gringotts.
Sniff was obviously unhappy, and after making a fuss for a long time, William had no choice but to give it ten glass balls in exchange.
Anyway, the wool comes out of the sheep.
It's a pity that Sniff has realized that it is not worth much, and it has begun a long road of asking for wages and defending its rights.
"I've got a way, you wait here for me for a while." William commanded, and ran towards a store in the hiding place.
Three minutes later, William returned, carrying a large bag in his hand.
Hermione pulled sniff out of her face, and William handed it the bag.
After counting the numbers, Sniff smiled again, quickly put the bag into his belly pocket, and returned to the safety table.
"What's that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Gold coins." William smirked, "It's not real gold, it's just a gold coin made by the leprechaun." ”
Leprechauns are able to produce a "gold coin" that resembles Galleons, but the substance disappears a few hours after it is produced.
It is sold in many places because it will disappear quickly and the price is very cheap.
But that had nothing to do with William, he gave the gold to Sniff, and if it was lost, it was his own responsibility!
After dealing with the sniffing problem, the two continue to search for the mysterious circus.
William took out the leaflet, which floated in the air and suddenly burned with purple light.
When the magic fire burns unchecked, a fire ash snake will appear from it. A young fiery snake emerges from the flames and wanders through the air, leaving a trail of ash.
William and Hermione followed the trail of ash and ran into the depths of the hiding ground.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two came to an open ground with several tents and a large circus canopy in the middle.
A banner reads: Mysterious Circus - Monsters and Freaks!
In the clearing outside the tent, a centaur troll, with a stick, demonstrates his immense strength.
A few strangely shaped Muggle beasts, dragging chains around, asking people for money.
Mugglemon are similar to Squibs in that they have no magical powers of their own, but have magical blood.
Half-blood elves and halflings hide their horns in their hats, their weird eyes under their hoods, and they juggle, somersault, and drill into rings of fire.
William finally knew why this circus was considered illegal.
In addition to the rare fantastic animals, there are a variety of hybrid species...... A hybrid of wizards and other humanoids.
Even creatures like half-humans, half-trolls have ...... Believe it!
It would be understandable to have only one or two, but in the circus, William saw seven or eight in this meeting alone.
Then one has to wonder if the circus has done something disgusting.
The circus leader, Skander, was a very old man, standing by the circular stage in the center of the crowd.
Skander exclaimed, "In our little show of monsters and strange people, I'm going to introduce you to - werewolves!" ”
He jerked the curtain open. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in shabby clothes, was standing there.
The men in the crowd whistled and shouted loudly.
"This girl is a Muggle who was bitten by a werewolf when she was a child." Skander introduced.
"Very little odds, but she survived tenaciously and was able to keep her sanity during the full moon...... No need for a wolf venom potion. ”
It has become a consensus that humans cannot keep their sanity after transforming into werewolves, unless they take wolf poison potions.
Werewolves who can keep their sanity are rare. The wizard in the crowd couldn't wait to meet him.
"It's pathetic, isn't it!" Hermione grabbed William's hand.
William nodded.
"Tonight happens to be a full moon, so let's show you." With a wave of his wand, Skander opened the tent to a skylight.
Basking in the moonlight, the girl stiffened, and her limbs began to tremble.
The girl's head was elongated, so was her body, her shoulders arched, hair coming out of her face and hands, clearly visible, hands curled up into claws.
A huge wolf appeared in the cage, she lowered her head, stared at Skander with hatred, and let out an angry roar from her mouth, constantly hitting the cage.
The crowd laughed loudly at Skander, and that's what he said to keep his sanity?
Skander pulled out his whip and slammed the iron bar at the werewolf's face.
She seemed to be unable to bear the pain, and after being beaten for a while, she stopped growling and cowered in the corner in fear.
It's not so much about keeping his sanity as it is about long-term abuse that allowed this werewolf to forcibly keep his sanity.
Scander smirked.
Suddenly, without warning, a giant python appeared, leaping up from the crowd and biting Skander on the arm.
- Nagini!
Skander had a gaping hole in his arm and collapsed to the ground. The Beast Trainer rushed to help.
The crowd panicked, screamed loudly, and stomped on each other to the exit, not knowing who knocked over the oil lamps and lit the circus tents.
The fire frightened and irritable the animals. A Hippogriff stood up and leaped wildly, and the trainers desperately tried to control it.
A large number of magical beasts took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the beast trainers roared in place.
"Divided!" William and Hermione raised their wands at the same time, aimed them at the cage, and blasted a hole in the iron fence where the werewolf was kept.
"Nagini is running away." Hermione said.
William and the werewolf looked at each other and left with Hermione's apparition in disguise.
The werewolf came out of the cage, and she came to Skander's side.
Skander was bitten by Nagini and was already unconscious.
The girl stared at Skander hatefully, hesitated for an afternoon, but instead of biting Skander to death, she left a tooth mark on his arm.
She glanced at where William and Hermione had disappeared and turned to leave.
