Correct: The American school of magic is called Ilvermorny

In the lobby of the Hilton Hotel in New York

Alyssa walked anxiously back and forth, her client, Field Diggory, had been out of the house for an entire afternoon and half a night, with no phone calls and no news. The bodyguards accompanying the pen & fun &www.biquge.info have all gone out to look for it. At this moment she was considering whether to tell Mr. Keller the news.

Alyssa's heart sank a little, Field is a wizard, and he has more means of self-protection than ordinary people, if there is still an accident in this way, then the follow-up matter is no longer something that her little assistant and those bodyguards can solve.

But just as Alyssa was about to call Mr. Kevin Keller in Los Angeles, her cell phone rang.

"Alyssa, I'm Field, I'm on my way to Los Angeles right now, you can fly to Bambork by yourself tomorrow, make an appointment with Director Stephen, and we'll meet tomorrow at half past one in the afternoon. Field's voice came from his phone.

"Oh, little ancestor, where did you go, you can't get through on the phone. Alyssa's hanging heart suddenly relaxed.

"There was no signal there just now, I'm with Uncle Hugo at this moment, and we'll talk about it tomorrow when there's anything. Field said and hung up.

Alyssa listened to the beep on the phone, and could only sigh silently, "The year is not big, but it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it seems that there will be no fewer days of worry in the future." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

In other words, after Field used the wayfinding charm to leave the alley, he quickly found a taxi and went straight to the Hilton Hotel on the edge of Times Square in New York, and called Uncle Hugo directly on the way, knowing that the situation was serious, Uncle Hugo decisively asked Field to divert to a business building, where Uncle Hugo's office was located, and he would come to New York through Floo Network to pick up Field and go directly to Los Angeles, he thought that New York might not be safe now.

The taxi diverted, and Field took the time to call Elisa, and the car arrived at the designated location in a short time.

When Field got out of the car, Uncle Hugo was already waiting there.

"Is it all right, Field, what the hell is going on?" asked Uncle Hugo.

"It's okay, I'm fine, let's find a place to talk. Field said.

Uncle Hugo, apparently not the place to speak, led Field straight into the building, and did not speak again until he sat on the elevator to a luxurious office on the 16th floor.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I was attacked, my opponent used a strange spell, I haven't seen it, two Muggles died, and there were two more at the scene, but they both passed out, I cleared their memories, and the wizard used to cast spells was brought back, and pictures were taken. As he spoke, Field handed the 'black stick' to Uncle Hugo.

Uncle Hugo took the "black stick" and said with a look of surprise. "'Skinner'! or 'Purge'! Show me the picture. ”

Field took out his camera and handed it to Uncle Hugo, watching Uncle Hugo's face become more and more ugly as he flipped through the photos, and Field knew that the identity of the attacker was not ordinary.

"Field, did the flesh on the two Muggles that were killed withered and their heads the size of fists?" asked Uncle Hugo.

"Yes, Uncle Hugo, who is he, can you tell what spell he is using?"

"It should be 'Skinner', or 'Purge', that evil spell is called Shrinking Head, and it's one of the most evil dark arts in North America. Uncle Hugo explained to Field with an ugly face.

Uncle Hugo explained in detail the origins of the North American wizarding world, and after a long time, Field finally understood what it was like to be a "skinner" or a "cleaner".

There is a big difference between the American wizarding world and the European wizarding world, unlike the North American Muggles, whose history began after the discovery of the New World. The history of the North American magical world is quite long, because North America has been inhabited by indigenous people since ancient times. (White Muggles in America are invaders, and there has been no America since time immemorial.) ）

As early as the Middle Ages, wizards had all sorts of magical ways of traveling—using broomsticks or illusions, ghosts, and some using 'visions' and 'premonitions' to see things in the distance (foresee the future', and of course the 'New World', which meant that long before these Muggle settlers, before the 17th century to be exact, the indigenous wizards of the North American continent and the wizards of Europe and Africa already knew each other, were familiar with each other's magic, and were closely connected through magic. (European, North American, and African magic systems are actually the same.) ）

'Skinners', there is a legend among the Indian tribes that they are a group of evil wizards who can transform into any kind of animal at will (i.e. the Animagus, the clan's ruling wizard who did not want to challenge his authority, so he made it up).

Legend has it that in order to gain more powerful transformation power, the 'Skinners' will sacrifice the lives of their own family members to gain power......

Of course, these are rumors, but in fact, most of the Animaj took on the form of animals to escape persecution or hunt for the tribe. However, because of the rumors, the reputation of the 'Skinners' was completely stinky, and the Muggles hunted them down, and many of the 'Skinners' had to hide their abilities and lurk among the Muggles. Many of these 'skinners' held a grudge against Muggles or wizards who did not help them at the time, and they secretly raised their own children and raised their children to be hunters, and the prey was Muggles or wizards.

The descendants of these 'Skinners' are proficient in hunting and many evil 'witchcraft', of which 'Shrinking Heads' is one of the spells they are proficient in. And the most powerful of them all, they can cast spells without a wand at all.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The "Purges" are a barbaric organization created after European wizards entered North America.

After the 17th century, as European Muggles gradually immigrated to the North American continent, some European wizards also came to North America and settled here.

Due to the weak, scattered and secretive wizarding community in North America, and the lack of its own adult law enforcement mechanism, it led to a large management loophole, which was eventually exploited by a group of wizarding mercenaries from different countries, who formed a cruel and savage organization to hunt criminals and even some innocent but wealthy people by any means necessary.

As time went on, this group of 'robber wizards' became more and more corrupt, relying on the sky high and the emperor far away, and the Ministry of Magic in his hometown could not govern him, abusing his private power. Many of them indulge in power, enjoy brutality, killing, torture, and some even sell their fellow shamans. There is evidence that they would give innocent Muggles posing as wizards to the Muggle community where they captured wizards in exchange for benefits.
