Chapter 274: Finding Muggles' Attitudes to Wizards
Brie has always sensibly believed that he can't just listen to his own voice and be a conceited person. He had collected the opinions of various wizards about Muggles.
Pure-bloods, half-bloods, Muggle wizards, they all have different views on Muggles. Or contempt, disgust, indifference, ignorance, closeness, friendliness, curiosity...... But they all determined that they were different from Muggles, and that magic was the greatest separation.
Even wizards who originally came from Muggle families considered themselves to be characters from two worlds with them.
Some mixed-race families also say that the Muggle father or Muggle mother in the family has a hard time understanding the wizarding world.
The same goes for wizards, who are always curious about Muggle things, such as the Wesleys. …… This is Devon in the southwest of England, and the sunset is unusually hot.
Most of the people who live here live a leisurely life, admiring the scenery of the county, and they are not at all surprised to come here, but they are slightly curious about how long this handsome young man can stay.
"I'm a magician." On the street, Brie is holding a hat in which Nagini twists and stretches her snake body.
The officer on the other side didn't believe Brie's words, and grabbed Brie's hat, but there was nothing in it.
It's as if Nagini hadn't appeared.
"Magic?" The area officer looked at Brie in surprise, as if he didn't believe it, but there was really nothing in his hat.
"Okay, you've passed, but where is it?" Because of the influence of the regional police, some tourists around also came over, and they looked at Brie.
Brie smiled, only to see Nagini out of his pocket.
"Oh!" The area police officer was taken aback.
"It's great." The area officer coughed twice, dropped a pound in Brie's hat, and left.
Brie smiled, watched as it got dark, and walked down an alley, ready to return to the inn from here.
It's been a few days since I've been here, and Brie has figured out the situation here and is ready to go.
"Stop!" A group of street thugs stopped Brie and looked at them, who had been staring at Brie for days.
"Magician?"
"I'm a wizard." Brie looked at the thugs gathered around and answered the question with a smile. But it made the thugs laugh.
"Wizard?"
"Then we are the church of the Middle Ages."
"Now, please hand over your money to Mr. Wizard so that you don't burn you to death by us." As the thugs surrounded Brie, Nakia climbed out of Brie's pocket and grew slowly......
"Ahh
"Snake!" Nagini surrounded the thugs, and Brie said, "Are you afraid of wizards? "Obviously, the thugs were too scared to speak.
If wizards were suddenly exposed to Muggles, perhaps this would be the case.
"Uh......" Under Nagini's bloody mouth, the thug fainted smoothly. Brie casually threw the thugs to the side of the road, hoping it wouldn't scare anyone.
The thug wasn't Brie's target, a circle appeared on the soles of Brie's feet, and he had already appeared somewhere else when the evening breeze blew.
It's a cosy cottage with a honeymoon couple. In the darkness of the night, the two of them were about to do something indescribable...... Alajo Cave Open!
Brie pushed the door open, and the two people who were still in the room watched Brie walk in.
"I am a wizard enforcer, and you have violated the wizarding protection law by falling in love with Muggles without permission, and you will be punished with the severest punishment." A flame erupted from Brie's feet, encircling the two of them.
When the two of them reacted, they could only cry helplessly for help.
"Who are you!" The man shouted. Imperius Curse! The woman beside the man was stunned for a moment, and then began to weep sadly.
"My dear, it's my fault, I'm a witch!" As if to prove herself, the woman waved her hand and lifted the couch next to her with a levitation charm.
"Ah......h At this time, Brie said, "Combine with Muggles without permission, and you will be judged and imprisoned for life from Azkaban!" Brie looked at the woman, who froze, as if she had heard something terrible, and cried out, "No, I don't want to be judged, dear help me!" The woman tried to hug the man, but the man suddenly pushed her away.
"Don't come near me, you witch!" It seems that men have given up on their women just because she is a witch.
Brie took out the notebook, wrote it down, and then used the Oblivion Charm to swap the memories of men and women...... This time, the woman did not give up on the man.
It's a boring experiment, but Brie has to. Quickly Brie took care of everything and restored everything to its original state so that nothing happened here.
"This is the real reaction of an ordinary couple when they are on their honeymoon when their other half is a wizard, and it can be seen that in the eyes of some people, wizards are absolute outliers." Brie soon left for another place, a luxurious part of Devon, where the magistrate had a virtuous and beautiful wife and several children.
This time, Brie is still using her relatives as an experiment, and then let the other party choose. The result was obvious, they all gave up on each other.
And this time, Brie didn't use the Oblivion Charm to make the high-ranking officials forget about it. It's an adventure. As Brie expected, the high-ranking official began to contact people from the upper echelons, and in his report, the wizard seemed to have changed some of their laws.
It seems that as the upper echelons of the Muggle world, they are aware of the existence of wizards and have been on guard.
Brie intercepted the letter and cast the Oblivion Charm before leaving. Walking to a secluded inn, Brie put on her hood and walked inside.
"Oh, my old friend!" As soon as the innkeeper saw Brie, he stepped forward excitedly, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Of course, these are some of the false memories that Brie made for the innkeeper. Brie walked up to the innkeeper, revealing the scars on his arms without leaving a trace.
He fixed his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise, but soon he covered himself and looked left and right. The first floor of the inn is a lobby that resembles a B&B bar, and there are still some residents drinking tea to pass the time.
The innkeeper whispered to Brie, "Oh, man, what have you encountered, come with me." With that, he took Brie up to the second floor.
Straight to the point, Brie bluntly said, "I'm a wizard and I've been hunted down. With that, Brie proved himself with a little magic.
"Oh God!" The owner of the bar, an old-fashioned Christian who was very loyal to his religion, looked at Brie and struggled, "Quick, get out of here, I can't let my faith hurt you." Brie looked at the owner of the bar and cast an amnesia spell on him, and the proprietor forgot what had just happened, thinking that Brie was a late guest.
"I won't bother you, guest." The innkeeper quickly went downstairs. Early the next morning, Brie appeared on the streets again for a magic show.
Nearby, several shabby-dressed boys and girls were staring at the pounds in his hats at his feet.
"Yes, can you teach us?" One of the young boys asked Brie. Brie looked at them kindly.
"Where are you?"
"It's the Lori Orphanage in Devon." The children replied. Brie nodded knowingly. He was in favor of the idea that these children wanted to learn some means of earning a living.
But Brie doesn't know much magic.
"Is that okay?" The child in front of him opened his eyes wide, looking at Brie innocently and innocently.
"Little ones, I'm also a child of the welfare home, and your little tricks can't fool me." Pretending to be cute, this one is outdated in Brie.
"Huh?" The child on the other side was visibly stunned. Putting away the hat, Brie took out a pound from it and handed it to the child in front of him and said, "You can decide for yourself." With that, Brie patted the little head of the child in front of him and left with his hat.
"Give it to me!" One of the children next to the little boy exclaimed, saying that the temptation of a pound was too great for him.
"It's ...... Here's it! The boy threw away the pound and chased after him.
"Wait, wait, can you teach me magic, I want to leave the orphanage!" The boy looked at Brie's free look, his eyes twinkling, and he looked at Brie pleadingly.
"I've got money, I've got over forty pounds, as long as you can teach me, I'll give it to you!" More than forty pounds, which is a huge amount of money for a child in a welfare home.
And this kid knows how to seize opportunities. Brie watched him closely. This is a blonde and blue-eyed cub, and he is only seven or eight years old depending on his figure.
"What's your name and how old are you?"
"My name is Vaughn Yinoch, and I'm almost eleven years old." Eleven years old? Brie looked at Volne and said, "You don't seem to be doing well. "Yes.
Volne looks average, his face is still dirty, and his pretending to be cute is not as cute as Brie's childhood, and he doesn't think he gets much preferential treatment in the welfare home.
Brie said, "Where is your money hidden?" ”
"At the orphanage, I dug up a brick in the room." Brie nodded in understanding.
"I'm about to go to the countryside for a magic show, and you can only learn magic if you follow me." As he spoke, a bag of bread appeared in Brie's hand and handed it to Von.
Vaughn touched his stomach and was about to reject Brie.
"You need to distinguish between good and bad intentions, and learn to owe favors."
"Huh?" Brie looked at Vone's inexplicable appearance, and then realized that he was only 10 years old.
"People who don't want to socialize are strangers." Vone seemed to understand something, and immediately caught the bread and said, "Thank you." Brie nodded, "I think you'd better stay in a welfare home, wouldn't you?" ”
"At least this place will allow you to live in peace."
"No, I don't want to stay in a welfare home, it's like a bird market, where outsiders can pick and take it for people to have fun." Hesitating, Vaughn whispered, "There's an underground casino here, and a lot of underage people have been brought in under the guise of adoption. ”
"If it weren't for the conscience of our dean, I'm afraid we would have been brought in too." Underground casinos. It can be said that Devon's thugs have something to do with it, and those thugs were also children in welfare homes.
"I'll start my departure at the train station early tomorrow morning, and hopefully you'll be able to catch the train."
"I will!" Vaughn gave Brie a heavy bow and trotted away. Brie nodded Nagini in his pocket.
"Nagini, we can go around again tonight." After a few days of searching, Brie learned a lot about Muggles' views of wizards, and in different situations, some were friendly to wizards, while others hated their existence.
But before that, Brie had to find a few people. The thugs from last night were still on the corner, but this time when Brie walked into the corner, they immediately chased after him like a dog's leg.
"Wizard-sama!" Several people looked at Brie flatteringly.
"You must need servants, we can, no one knows this place better than we do in Devon." Brie looked at the thugs who were trying to please him, and gave a clear sign.
"I heard that the owner of the underground casino is rich?" The thugs glanced at each other and saw each other's surprises.
"Yes, he is the boss of the gang here, and he has made a lot of money by buying and selling and some black businesses."
"Do you have an idea, Lord Wizard?" Brie chuckled and nodded.
"I do have an idea...", looking at a few, Brie added, "I always have to go back to the wizarding world, someone has to help me watch the territory......"
"My lord, my lord, we can, we must be loyal to my lord!" The thugs became even more excited.
Brie smiled and said, "So can you find the power boss?" ”
"Of course, we can find ...... But our rank is too low to get in. The thugs scratched their heads and looked at Brie with some concern.
Brie said nonchalantly, "Just know where it is, take me there." "During the day, the underground casinos are also full of noise, alcohol, and unwilling voices.
"Yo, isn't this a magician, how do you have time to come here, how do you want to try?" Someone recognized Brie's presence and, at the same time, looked at him curiously.
And the thugs behind Brie dutifully stopped him and threatened: "Don't make trouble, go aside!" Seeing this, Brie did not care, but raised his wand and said, "Pass out!" "The coma curse, the people in the casino are falling.
The thugs behind Brie looked at Brie in fear and excitement, and then said, "In the secret passage behind the casino, this place leads to a secret manor. Brie said yes, and soon he found the secret passage, and as for the guards of the secret passage, Brie was stunned by the stun charm before Brie arrived.
"Wow, this is the latest sudge..."A thug touched next to the fainted guard and picked it up.
"Cut, adults are wizards, and Tutu is nothing compared to it." At this time, Brie's voice came from the front: "The wizard is weak, and he will be injured if he is not prepared. ”
