The next morning, Lowe was woken from his slumber.

"What is he holding?" The voice of the accountant came from the bedside.

"His diary." Another voice came from Belinda.

"What a strange fetish...... Mia's voice paused, "My crow told me that he got up in the wee hours of last night, dug out his diary from a drawer, and slept like that until dawn. ”

"Uh-huh."

Belinda stood on the edge of the bed and rolled her eyes, then turned to leave the room: "I'll go to school, and Lowe will leave it to you." ”

When Luo Wei opened his eyes from sleepiness, he only saw the back of his sister leaving.

"I'm sleepy...... What time is it? ”

He struggled to sit up, and found that the room was dimly lit.

Outside the window, there was the sound of crackling rain. This is already the fourth heavy rain since the beginning of autumn, and it will not be long before Lowe will usher in his first winter after crossing.

"Just after eight o'clock." Mia sat in a chair next to her desk, leisurely curling her fingers in her hair, and casually asked, "Do you two always call her by her first name?" It's obviously a brother and sister. ”

"My brother and sister will call her by her first name, and she didn't call me 'stupid' or 'bedbug', and I am already grateful."

Luo Wei sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to start undressing with his hands, he stopped again: "Miss Mia, the elegant man is about to change, can you please avoid it?" ”

"Okay, give you ten minutes. See you in the wagon. ”

With that, she stood up and kicked off with her little boots on.

Lowe stared straight outside the room until her figure disappeared completely, and the sound of the door opening and closing downstairs could be heard.

"Diary! Double-check! ”

Luo Wei quickly opened his diary and rummaged through it.

"Here, no loss! Hahaha. ”

Scribbled and messy notes appeared in front of his eyes. These were the various spells he had hastily memorized in the illusion last night.

Before exiting the illusion, he tried to make a divine spell of "giving in kind", but he didn't expect it to be successful.

He succeeded in replacing the real objects with the objects he had "imagined".

The success of this experiment made Lowe very excited - if he could make good use of this spell, there would be many places in the future where he could use it for his own benefit.

However, he still needs to do some verification on the specific success conditions: for example, whether it is based on equivalent exchange; Are there any restrictions on the size or characteristics of the "replaced" items......

"I'll put these spells on first. Now the most urgent thing is to make money. ”

Luo Wei quickly got dressed, washed up in the bathroom, and went downstairs to prepare to go out.

Since the 1 gold pound given by Yvette was lost in an accident, the family has truly become destitute. Combined, the brother and sister can't make up a single nit of the kind.

He couldn't help but think with some disappointment: even if the "Ruined Library" couldn't give him good treatment today, he had to agree to join them.

After all, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and now he wants to get the money to support his life immediately without breaking the law, so he can only ask the accountant to advance his salary as soon as possible.

"Hopefully I'm not too unlucky......"

Lowe closed the door and got into the carriage.

"Speaking of which, Captain Evan told me after closing the case last night that you lost some personal belongings?" Mia asked with a smile.

"Ah, yes...... I didn't have a set of clothes, but I wore one of your uniforms. Lowe replied.

"I have to say, it looks like it fits."

"It's so dark, I don't like to be dressed in black all over. Looks like some kind of wizarding person. ”

Lowe's complaint caused Miss Accountant to chuckle.

"If anything, it's a set of tarot cards that I drew myself...... It's a shame that that thing is gone. ”

When he said this, he suddenly thought to himself: If he used a stack of cardboard to make tarot cards, could he use the illusion to make a new set for himself?

"Well, that's it." Mia took out an envelope from the bag beside her and handed it to Lowe, "After determining that it belongs to the loss caused by your involvement, the Security Department has issued you a relief fee of 1 plume." ”

The envelope did bear a special stamp of the Security Service and a stamped fire paint. Lowe pinched it, and could feel a round metal coin in the envelope.

"Thank you to the Department of Security, thank you, Miss Mia! Your thoughtfulness makes me feel the warmth of spring. ”

Lowe gave a heartfelt compliment. He really felt at the moment that Miss Accountant had a heart of gold more than beauty.

"Don't thank me, this was specially instructed by the captain."

"Captain? Captain Evan? ”

Luo Wei was a little surprised that the cool captain who didn't have a good face for himself would actually notice his poverty and send care......

He decided to re-evaluate the man.

The carriage slowly drove away from the Zisu Street neighborhood.

And in Lowe's home, in the room on the second floor.

Suddenly there was a "poof" sound in the air.

A button fell out of the air and rolled into a corner under Lowe's bed.

……

……

Vito City Security Agency.

Lowe followed Miss Accountant to Captain Evan's office.

"You may be seated." The man gestured to the chair across from the desk.

After thinking about it, Lowe decided not to ask the question of the 1 Prang relief fee first.

"Captain, I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time."

"What?"

"Should you be a 'policeman of wizards' or a 'wizard of police'? …… I mean, did the Security Service have a dedicated 'Wizard Squad' department? Lowe asked what he had been thinking for a long time.

Based on his current knowledge, the vast majority of people in this world are Muggles, unaware of the existence of wizards. And what about the officers at the Vito City Security Agency? Lowe had been here several times, and the officers had normal expressions on several wizards.

Does the government have such a presence as a wizard by default?

"The 'Wizard Squad' is the 'Tower' for us. You have to be clear that we are wizards and wizards, just living as 'detectives' in the Muggle world. Evan flipped through the file with his left hand, and with his right hand, he took out a document from his coat pocket and threw it to Lowe.

[Vito City Security Department, Criminal Investigation Division, Group 7]

[Evan Stevens, 39 years old, Second Class Police Inspector]

"So the police don't know you're wizards?"

"Yes." The man put down the file in his hand and retrieved his documents from Luo Wei's hand.

"Wizards are also human beings, and they also need to earn money to live. With the exception of the very special places of the 'Tower' or the 'Black Forest', most wizards are the same, hidden in the Muggle world. ”

Evan's statement disappointed Lowe. He had thought that this world would be like "Harry Potter", with an "alternate plane" that belonged exclusively to wizards, and that there would be all kinds of magical places like Hogwarts.

Now it seems that it is all my own imagination.

"I feel like the mystery of wizards has immediately dropped a lot." He whispered.

"That's what it is."

Before Evan could finish speaking, a small bell hanging on the table suddenly "jingled" by itself.

He stood up and pulled out his wand and tapped it on the tin filing cabinet behind him.

The cabinets immediately moved smoothly sideways, revealing a door behind them.

"Oh dear Lowe, we meet again! It's only been two days, but it's a real feeling! ”

A figure in a white lab coat and carrying a suitcase walked out of the doorway quickly. Luo Wei heard the sound of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who had not yet fully changed his voice, and had a slight male duck voice.

“…… Lorentz? Luo Wei was taken aback when he saw the person coming, "Why did your voice change?" ”

If you remember correctly, the last time I saw him, he was still a forty-year-old middle-aged uncle's voice, so strange that Luo Wei wondered if he had a hearing problem.

"I'm guessing you're going to ask this."

He thumped his suitcase on Evan's desk and rummaged through it. Captain Evan next to him couldn't help frowning, quite disgusted by Lorenz's behavior.

"The seventh-level wizard level certification exam, the last question in potions, blends the 'chaotic transformation potion' into an orderly 'transformation potion'. I'm getting caught in the test again! ”

He took out a small bottle and shook it in front of Lowe, the dark green liquid in which it was like absinthe juice, glowing with a faint fluorescence.

"It's just that without half a drop of concentrated perilla juice, the potion effect won't work, this is damn potions!"

Lorenz pulled out the cork from the bottle and reached for Evan's head, only to be disgusted by the captain's wand and open his hand.

He rolled his eyes, walked over to Lowe, and then took advantage of Lowe's failure to react and pulled out a hair with lightning speed.

"Shhh You-"

Before Lowe could curse, Lorenz shoved his hair into the potions bottle.

I saw a white mist coming out of the mouth of the bottle, and the liquid in the bottle began to bubble, as if it was boiling.

"This vial can be left in for half an hour."

Lorenz raised his eyebrows triumphantly, then poured the potion into his mouth in one gulp.

In the next second, Luo Wei saw that his facial features began to stretch and change visibly with the naked eye, and his figure was also obviously changing.

After a few breaths, "another Lowe", who looked exactly like Lowe, stood in front of him.

“…… Boy. Lowe couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The plot that I had only seen in movies before is now really happening in front of me.

"This is the Transfiguration Potion. From the voice, to the body type, appearance, body ...... All features will be identical to the deformed object. Evan said, "It's a potion that can be used to commit crimes. As long as the suspect is careful enough, he can carry out a perfect crime without leaving any clues. ”

"Is there no way to make out at all?" Lowe was taken aback.

This world does not have the surveillance probes that are everywhere in later generations, and the methods of criminal investigation and handling are still stuck in the standards of two hundred years ago.

If the Transfiguration Potion is so powerful, wouldn't the wizard who knows this prescription be able to do whatever he wants, and commit as many crimes as he wants?

"It's not completely impossible. One of the fatal weaknesses of this potion is that it cannot consume all colored substances. Lorenz explained, his voice now the same as Lowe's.

"Colored substances?"

"Like red wine, all kinds of juices."

"Fake Lowe" took out another small bottle from the suitcase, which contained some bright orange liquid: "This is carrot juice." ”

He poured a drop into his hand, and licked it with his tongue.

And then the next one, his whole body was "orange".

It's like dyeing some kind of skin in a game, and the whole person, from hair to skin, and even teeth and eyes, is dyed with a layer of orange, which looks absurd and weird.

"This effect will not be invalid until the transformation is over. And interestingly, it can be stacked. He said as he pulled out another bottle of purple juice.

"It's the juice of red cabbage."

I also licked it lightly, and then purple covered my whole body.

Unlike what Lowe imagined, purple and the previous orange did not merge together to become other colors, but appeared in bands alternating -

Now Lorenz looks like an orange and purple zebra.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Laugh, at least you know the important common sense that potions aren't perfect." Lorenz rolled his eyes, then shoved another vial of brand new potion into Lowe's hand.

"Wait, this is for me?"

"Yes." Lorenz shrugged, "It's a gift for a new colleague to join the 'Ruined Library.'" ”

Luo Wei raised his eyebrows in doubt, "I didn't say I was going to join the 'Ruined Library'?" ”

"When I came today, the curator told me that you would definitely come."

Where are you curators? - Lowe resisted the desire to complain, and instead asked the question he was most concerned about:

"So, how did I get treated when I joined you? I would like to make it clear in advance that I would not accept only the salary of the Security Service. ”

Just kidding, everyone does the same job, and because they're Muggles, they get nearly half the salary less than everyone else each month. It's that no one can accept this kind of treatment gap.

Do Muggles have to be cows and horses? Muggles are also dignified!

"Hey, speaking of which."

Lorenz pulled out a small, boxy box from his pocket.

The intricate wave patterns on the box are instantly recognizable, and they are the kind used to hold holy relics.

"I asked Roland to help me pick for a long time, and finally decided to give this to you, which represents my sincere heart with the 'Ruined Library'."

He took out his wand and tapped it at the small box, and when he opened it, it revealed its contents.

A black ring with silver trim.

Lowe: "......"

Lorenz: "What's wrong?" ”

Lowe: "...... For me? ”

Lorenz: "yes, how nice do you think it is?" ”

Lowe's eyes grew strange.

"Mr. Lorenz, I know what people are ...... Preferences vary, and that's everyone's right. Lowe took a half step back and said vigilantly and seriously, "But I must tell you clearly: you can like it, but I also have the right to refuse." ”
