Chapter 57: The Light
"The corpses of Edward, the boss of the Golden Wolf Gang, and the elite of the gang were found, suspected of being a gangster vendetta! >> --- Fog Daily!
Looking at the news, Li Kuan couldn't help but murmur, "It turns out that he is really a gang boss!" ”
At this point, it's been a while since the last outing!
During this time, the death of Edward and his men was discovered.
Although the police found out that the time of Edward and the others died was probably the time when the orphanage was camping, they did not suspect that the people in the orphanage did it, nor did they suspect that Li Kuan did it.
Even because Edward was a gangster, he didn't investigate much, but after a routine inquiry, the matter was settled!
And the remnants of the Golden Wolf Gang... When Li Kuan was helping out in the dining car during this time, he heard the guests talk about being wiped out by other hostile gangs because the boss and the elite of the gang were not there!
In other words, Edward's affairs are basically over!
However, Edward's matter is over, but Li Kuan is also in this incident and feels that he has many shortcomings!
First of all!
Lack of combat experience!
There were many minor mistakes in the whole process, not to mention that in the end, it was not discovered that Edward pretending to be dead was the biggest mistake.
If it weren't for the defensive props on his body at the critical moment that played a role and blocked such a shot for him, then he might have been killed by someone to the limit!
Secondly!
Lack of strength!
Even if he had a lot of magic props, it was very difficult for him to beat such adults, and in the end, it took a lot of effort and effort to barely clean up Edward and the others!
Moreover, if it weren't for his lack of strength and lack of physical strength, he should have been able to dodge that shot at the last moment!
After all, at that time, his mind and eyes all reacted, but his body couldn't keep up!
At last!
Because when I saw something good, I was in a hurry to get it, forgetting my previous caution, which was also a big failure!
If it weren't for the rush to pick up something good because he saw something good, that is, a gun, Edward wouldn't have a chance to fight back!
Of course, considering that Li Kuan has not experienced a real battle after all, whether it is before or after the crossing, and the only time he kills is to have five dogs by his side to help, these shortcomings and defeats are not unacceptable!
As the saying goes, what doesn't kill me will make me stronger!
Experience is always learned from mistakes, and after this lesson, Li Kuan will never make these low-level mistakes again in the future!
"Next, not only do you have to get more props, but you also have to quickly get out the dragon blood potion to improve your physique, otherwise if you encounter this kind of scene again, you will almost burp directly!" Li Kuan thought secretly in his heart.
It was just when Li Kuan was thinking about it.
"Boss, the dean told you to go to his office!" John trotted all the way and hurried to Li Kuan!
"Hmm!"
After Li Kuan nodded, he put down those messy thoughts, put aside the newspaper in his hand, and walked towards the dean's office!
Soon!
He arrived at the Dean's office!
"Dean Athena!" Li Kuan said hello respectfully!
He is still full of admiration for this old director who is dedicated to the orphanage!
"Sit!" Athena sat down with a gesture of please!
Li Kuan nodded, and sat opposite Athena!
"Li, what do you think of what you said last time? I think you have to think about it, Mr. and Mrs. Granger are really good, they are both doctors, both dentists, they have very good families, and they only have one daughter! Athena, the director of the orphanage, opened her mouth to persuade her.
A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen!
Not long after Edward's incident, Li Kuan encountered new trouble--- Mr. and Mrs. Granger!
After meeting Mr. and Mrs. Granger at the campsite that day, for some reason, Mr. and Mrs. Granger found the orphanage and explained that they wanted to adopt him!
And in this regard, of course, Li Kuan disagrees!
If he had been adopted by the Grangers, the mere fact that he had disappeared every night would have been a very difficult trouble to explain and difficult to solve!
Again!
In addition to the fact that this is difficult to explain, once he is adopted, many things will be restricted for him!
Like going to Diagon Alley every now and then to buy something, you can't do it often!
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Granger are not the staff of the orphanage, and they need to manage hundreds of orphans, so it is impossible to say that Li Kuan, who is only three years old this year, will be out of sight for too long!
However, although Li Kuan bluntly disagreed, the Granger couple did not give up!
In addition to often visiting him in the orphanage, bringing him food and toys, he also lobbied the staff of the orphanage, the director of the orphanage and others to help persuade Li Kuan!
That's where we are!
"Dean, you don't need to say any more, I really don't want to be adopted!" Li Kuan said helplessly.
"This..."
After hearing that her persuasion was ineffective, Athena also said helplessly, "Okay! ”
In her opinion, Li Kuan's adoption by Mr. and Mrs. Granger is indeed a good choice!
Unlike Edward, the Granger couple lived nearby, not far from the orphanage, and they still knew a little about the two of them--- and there were occasional orphans in the orphanage who needed to see their teeth!
Although the couple is not very wealthy, doctors themselves are a high-income group.
Especially in England, where they like to eat sweet things from top to bottom, dentists earn better than ordinary doctors, so the two of them are definitely middle class, and they can definitely give Li Kuan a better environment and conditions than in the orphanage!
However, since Li Kuan is unwilling, she will not be reluctant!
As the director, she respects the wishes of all orphans in the orphanage.
Leave the dean's office.
Li Kuan secretly pondered, "Last time it was Edward, this time it was the Grangers, it is not a way to go on like this, if someone keeps coming to adopt, it will be annoying!" ”
"So... Somehow had to be found to solve this problem! Well, if you can, find someone to adopt and take me out of the orphanage, of course, provided that the person who adopted me must be my person! ”
---
Following!
The weather was gloomy, and the light rain was falling.
But it didn't stop Li Kuan's footsteps!
Braving the rain, he arrives at the Slug Giggs Pharmacy in Diagon Alley!
Before he entered the door, he saw a middle-aged man curled up under the eaves with ragged clothes and dead eyes at the door of the pharmacy!
However, Li Kuan didn't care about it, and went directly to the pharmacy!
"Little guy, how's it going, have you refined it?" Seeing Li Kuan coming in, Slug, who was sorting out materials at the counter, said hello with a smile!
Li Kuan didn't answer directly, but took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and put it on the counter!
"Roar, little guy, you've really done it!"
Slug was amazed, "Six parts are one, and the success rate of one in six is very good!" ”
"Fluke!" Li Kuan said with a smile.
After using the previous bottle, Li Kuan was lucky to succeed in one of the remaining three materials, so in fact, his success rate was one-third.
However, people always have to keep a hand, and he doesn't want to show off this!
"Don't talk about any flukes! If you don't have that kind of strength, you won't be able to refine it even if you're lucky! Slugh said with a smile.
As he spoke, he picked up the potion and observed it, then said, "Well, the inferior elixir, two hundred gold Galleons per pint!" ”
"Help me change the ingredients for six Elixir Elixirs!"
Li Kuan said, and added, "This time, don't pre-make medicine, ask for raw materials!" ”
"Raw materials?"
Slag raised an eyebrow and smiled, "No problem! ”
As he spoke, he turned around and filled the medicine in the pharmacy.
Soon!
Six packets of medicine were placed in front of Li Kuan, and at the same time, there were eighty gold gallons!
"Six pairs, a pair of twenty gold Galleons, a total of one hundred and twelve, and I will look for you eighty gold Galleons!" Slug said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
Li Kuan nodded and put everything away!
At this moment, when Li Kuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, pointed to the figure of the shrinking person at the door, and asked curiously, "By the way, who is that at the door?" ”
Slug listened, shook his head, and sighed, "A poor man! ”
"Oh!?"
Li Kuan asked curiously, "Poor man? ”
"yes!" Slug sighed and told Li Kuan about the origin of the person outside!
A wizard born in a Muggle family, who used to work among the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and was well-known in the wizarding world, but was accidentally bitten by a werewolf during a mission.
Although he saved his life, he also became a werewolf because of it!
Then, the Ministry of Magic fired him directly because he became a werewolf!
However, even if it was fired, what was worse was that when he turned into a werewolf on a full moon night, he not only accidentally injured his daughter and wife, but also almost bit them.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of his daughter and wife, he had to leave his family and start wandering alone in Diagon Alley, in all corners of the wizarding world!
And the reason why he's here now is because next month's middle of the month is his daughter's birthday, and he wants to come to Diagon Alley to get a bottle of wolf poison potion to spend a birthday with his daughter he hasn't seen in years!
It's just because no one in the wizarding world dares to hire a werewolf, he has no money on him, and the wolf poison potion is a very rare potion in the wizarding world, and the difficulty of refining it is comparable to that of the elixir, or even a little more difficult, and there are no merchants selling it.
So, he still hasn't gotten the wolf poison potion!
It's also because the pharmacy is the most likely place in the entire wizarding world to come into contact with wolf poison potion, so he's been staying here these days, looking for a chance to get a bottle of potion!
Listening to the story told by Slug, Li Kuan touched his chin and thought about it, while looking at this werewolf up and down, and gradually had an idea in his heart!
This werewolf...
Seems to be usable!?
Thinking of this, he went straight to the werewolf.
"Food, shelter, and a bottle of wolf poison potion every month, and the job is to follow my orders, are you willing?" Li Kuan asked lightly at the werewolf.
The werewolf who was originally huddled in the corner slowly raised his head after hearing Li Kuan's words, and his eyes, which were originally without the slightest emotional fluctuations, bloomed with an unprecedented light because of this sentence!
"I... Willing! The werewolf replied hoarsely.
