8. Dinner

Li Kuan looked at everyone, opened the letter on the table, and read it softly, "Richard Lovegood, former Auror." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In 1952, he was in charge of investigating the London Fog Incident, and fought with the Dark Wizards until more than 3,000 people died, and the Dark Wizards fled. Richard Lovegood was convicted of manslaughter and expelled from the Ministry of Magic, where he disappeared that same year. In 1990, the Ministry of Magic suddenly appeared, reporting to volunteer to become a maintenance worker for the Fog Town's magic road network......"

Just as he was reading this, Smith Wilson interjected, "So think about it, that huge swarm of ghosts must have been arranged ......by Old Man Richard to collect the souls of the dead in the London Haze (Muggle name)."

Li Kuan interrupted Smith Wilson and said, "But this is impossible, in order for the ghosts to take shape, they must be inhabited by powerful treasures and provide them with the energy that exists in the world, and as far as I know, only Hogwarts in Britain has such energy." ”

The other three immediately stopped talking and looked at Li Kuan.

"Is there something wrong......

"No, there isn't." Smith Wilson shook his head and said, "I don't think Professor Albus Dumbledore nor Minister Fudge told you that this was once an ancient battlefield. ”

"What is the Ancient Battlefield?"

"There are many incredible things in the ancient battlefields of the wars that took place between or before the Merlin period. Their presence is sufficient to support the formation of ghosts. Professor Minerva McGonagall added, "This should not have been told to you. ”

"So, this village is an ancient battlefield?"

"No, in some cavern in the mist, that's where the ancient battlefield is located. Old Richard called it the source of the fog. But that place has nothing to do with our purpose this time, and if I'm not mistaken, old Richard will watch over it. ”

Li Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, ordinary small events are enough for them to bear, if they still run out of the ancient battlefield and other things that they have never heard of, can this adventure game be played?

"噹噹噹~噹噹~"

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door, and a thick man's voice came from outside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for dinner, and my wife has made a thick soup, and I hope you will enjoy it."

"Oh! Of course! Mr. Village Chief, we will come over right away and introduce you to your daughter's little bodyguard by the way. Smith Wilson replied with a smile.

"Please hurry, the soup won't taste good when it's cold."

Outside the door there was the sound of people leaving, and Smith Wilson clapped his hands and smiled, "Since that's pretty much it, let's go to dinner." By the way, I would like to introduce Mr. Li Kuan to the employer this time. As he spoke, he winked at Li Kuan.

Li Kuan looked at Smith Wilson with a confused expression and asked, "Wait...... Employer? What do you mean? ”

Smith Wilson turned his head to look at Professor Minerva McGonagall and said strangely, "Haven't you told him about it yet?" ”

"Haven't had time to ...... yet"

……

Li Kuan was shamelessly 'sold' to the village chief's young daughter as a bodyguard. He couldn't accept this matter, but as the only way to get in touch with the legend of the fog village, he was more than happy to serve.

It was with such ambivalence that Li Kuan sat at the table of the village chief's house.

The bread on the table was bought by the Aurors from Fog Town, the wild vegetables in the soup were dug up from the grass by the village chief's wife at the risk of being captured by the ghosts, and the only feature on the table was a rabbit roasted to a golden brown.

The Aurors took the soup and returned to their room, with no intention of staying to eat, and only the village chief's family of three and Li Kuan were left in the entire living room.

"There are no special dishes in the countryside, I hope you don't mind." The village chief whispered.

"Mr. Village Chief, you are polite, we have already been disturbed by borrowing your house, and it is already our honor to be able to taste the food now." Smith Wilson smiled and said that he was like a humble gentleman and not a madman at the moment.

"I would like to introduce you to a few experts on our team. The lady in the black dress was Professor Minerva McGonagall, one of my mentors, a very powerful expert who had dealt with a lot of anecdotal incidents.

The gentleman in the gown was called Ferch, and he was also a powerful expert.

The last gentleman, his name is Li Kuan. It's your daughter's bodyguard this time. ”

Li Kuan pushed the round flat eyes on the bridge of his nose, smiled and nodded to the village chief and said, "I will protect your daughter's safety." ”

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said to Smith Wilson, "He'...... Isn't it too small. ”

"Li Kuan is a genius among us, and such a trivial matter as protecting people is not worth mentioning to him," Smith Wilson began to brag again. "If it weren't for the fact that your daughter was too young to arrange for an adult to protect her, I wouldn't have let this card in my hand be used."

Li Kuan still smiled and nodded, but the corners of his mouth cracked a little and asked in a low voice, "Wilson, did you tell him our actual situation?" ”

"Call me a senior, little brat. I certainly didn't tell who we really are. Just to say we're an exorcist team. Smith Wilson also cracked his lips and whispered to Li Kuan. Maybe you can show them your hands? ”

Li Kuan rolled his eyes and showed his hands? He wanted to show his hands, but the magic he learned was only in the first grade! Do you want him to memorize the basics from the textbook to them?

"Fluorescent flickering, Mr. Li Kuan."

At this time, Professor Minerva McGonagall coughed appropriately and reminded Li Kuan.

Oh! Of course...... A little practical magic in a dark environment is of little use other than illuminating the surroundings, but it can amaze Muggles and consume very little mana.

Li Kuan took out his wand, read the spell in the time of a scale, and threw it on the wall.

The flickering light source was embedded in the wall, suppressing the light of the oil lamp.

"Oh! Enough is enough, this is so dazzling! The village chief said loudly with his arm to stop the glare of light.

Smith Wilson put out the light source and said with a smile, "You see, Mr. Li Kuan's strength should not be underestimated, you can rest assured now, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." The village chief lowered his arm and said with an embarrassed smile, "Let's eat first, and then I'll take you to my daughter's hiding place after eating." ”

At the dinner party that followed, the village chief ignored Smith Wilson and Professor Minerva McGonagall as if he had lost his memory, and frequently served Li Kuan vegetables until he couldn't pile them up on the plate. The village chief's wife also smiled at Li Kuan from time to time and looked at his whole body.

Full marks for figure, perfect temperament, everything is fine except for the glasses on the bridge of the nose that are too big, not to mention that the young master of a noble family is more like an exorcist.

"The village chief and the village chief's wife look at the little guy like they look at their son-in-law, it looks like his good fortune is not shallow!" Smith Wilson looked at Li Kuan's favored appearance and whispered to Professor Minerva McGonagall.

"Then they are destined to be disappointed, Mr. Li Kuan has a little girlfriend at school." A very smart girl. He loved her very much. ”
