Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lockhart is unlucky
Two vampires, Dracula and Tesla, emerge from the Dark Moon and appear together in front of a shabby-looking but beautifully repaired wooden house.
Not far from the hut is a field of green lettuce, the lettuce seedlings have been harvested almost halfway, and the rest of the lettuce is still green and growing in the moonlight.
Seeing this familiar lettuce, Tesla's eyes were deeply touched.
It was these lettuces that made him eat in a panic for a whole week in a state of extreme hunger! It was also because of the little energy supply that these lettuces gave him that he dragged his weak body all the way from Serbia to Romania, and finally sent valuable information back to Dracula's castle.
"Robert!"
Tesla didn't control his emotions and stumbled to the humble wooden house, shouting loudly.
"Robert, are you there? I've come to see you!"
One call after another came from his mouth, but no one answered. Tesla's expression was a little confused at first, and then he became more and more sentimental and desperate.
Just as he was about to break down the door and enter the cabin to see what was going on with his old friend, the window of the cabin suddenly opened.

Grind for a few years, and when it's your turn, it will naturally be your turn! Think about how I started as an ordinary Auror squad intern and worked my way up to becoming the captain of the Auror team, which took me more than 30 years in total. Have I ever had a word of complaint? Nope!"
"You'll have to have my hard-working spirit to get the director of the Auror Office to see you from the crowd! Then you have the opportunity to make a difference, and with your long-term training at the grassroots level, becoming an Auror Captain like me is definitely not a dream!"
Tesla listened to Robert's tireless and ear-to-ear teachings, and couldn't help but jump out of the corners of his eyes.
And Dracula happily leaned against a tree on the hillside in the distance, posing in his classic posture of watching a play - he never thought that in the middle of the night, he would be able to find such a big fun by helping his subordinates come to visit a friend in the barren mountains and old forests!
It was an absolute bonus!
And Robert in the cabin was still talking. He regarded the young-looking Tesla as an intern Auror who was in a hurry, thinking that he had come to such a remote place on purpose to build a relationship with the former Auror captain, and fantasized about ascending to the sky through the relationship with the old captain.
"Young man, I won't care about you disturbing my rest this time. But you must remember what I said to you today! Only when you endure hardship can you become a master!"
After saying that, the shirtless Robert solemnly patted Tesla's shoulder, and then slammed the window of the room shut.
The air became extremely quiet for a moment.
Tesla looked at the closed wooden window in front of him, and thought of Robert's serious words just now, and felt a little like laughing.
But the mood in his heart was very low. He knew that the best friend who had saved his life and had rafted on the Danube together had really forgotten about himself.
Dracula walked slowly from a distance, looked at Tesla's face as if he was smiling and crying, and sighed softly.
"Tesla, do you have any plans now?" He asked.
When Tesla saw Dracula's arrival, he silently turned his head and wiped the subtle tears from the corners of his eyes to calm down his complicated emotions.
"I'm smiling you, Dracula-sama." He whispered, "I don't know you're in your hands...... If there is any clue about the villain who erased Robert's memory, I will definitely return blood and avenge the shame!"
….
"Hmm...... I've got more than just clues." Dracula chuckled and said, "Actually, I have found the wizard who erased Robert's memory, and it was from him that I learned that there is such a person as Robert who dares to make friends with vampires."
"Besides, you don't have to bother looking for someone, I already arrested that wizard......
At the words "Grab it," Dracula's words suddenly froze. He remembered a very crucial question-
In the evening, he received an emergency signal from Serena and became very anxious. So he completely ignored Lockhart, who was still following him at the time, and instantly left the Danube and went to Brown Castle in Romania......
In other words, Lockhart, who had lost his memory, seemed to have been thrown by him on the bank of the Danube!
……
At night, the Danube looks tiny under the stars.
Countless starlight crumpled into the ripples of the river, the gentle breeze blew, bringing ripples layer by layer, and a few leaves floated up and down on the surface of the lake, adding a few trivial imperfections to the bright stars.
It was beside such a beautiful river that lay a sloppy man covered in dirt and wearing only a pair of shorts.
The man's face and hair were covered in the dried, hard, earthy yellow dirt, and his whole body was covered in ash, as if he had rolled on the dirty ground for an unknown number of times.
Still, if you look closely, you may be able to make out his iconic face and facial features, as well as his blonde hair covered in wax.
When Dracula and Tesla are two
When I came to the bank of the Danube, I saw such a scene -
Lockhart fell to the ground, dirty, and his mouth snorted in pain from time to time. But because Dracula had forgotten to undo the forbidden spell for him, his lips were still glued together, and he couldn't shout out in pain, which added to the desolation.
"Master Dracula, my subordinates are too stupid to understand why you brought me here to find such a down-and-out homeless man." Tesla looked at Lockhart lying on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask Dracula.
Rao was Dracula's eyes, and he hesitated for a long time before he could barely recognize that this was Lockhart, and he didn't know where to start at this time.
"Well......" he said depressedly, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but this homeless man in your mouth is actually the wizard who erased Robert's memory......
Looking at Lockhart's down-and-out current situation, let alone Tesla, Dracula is now also in a state of stunnedness.
He didn't understand how Lockhart had managed to make himself like this in just a few hours......
"Huh?" After listening to Dracula's explanation, Tesla couldn't help but cry out in amazement, "Robert was erased by such a guy?"
The thought that Robert would be yin by such a miserable homeless man, Tesla felt a little uncomfortable.
And at this time, Lockhart also raised his head because of Tesla's exclamation and saw Dracula walking closer.
….
"Uh-uh-uh! Woo-woo-"
His lips were glued together, and he could only shout with his mouth closed, and he stood up in tears, and rushed towards Dracula with a handful of snot and tears.
Dracula reached out in disgust and held Lockhart a foot in front of him, undoing the silence spell from his mouth.
"Woooooooo......oo Wow—" Lockhart finally opened his mouth and burst into tears.
His cry can be regarded as heartbreaking, heartbreaking, and painful to the bone marrow, which is simply sad for those who see it and tears for those who hear it......
"Alright, tell me what's going on tonight. How did you get yourself to be like this?" Seeing that he was crying so sadly, Dracula was too embarrassed to speak fiercely anymore, and could only ask in a soothing tone for a child.
After crying for a while, Lockhart sobbed and trembled and told Dracula about what had happened.
"Where did you go before, why did you leave me alone?!" He let tears and snot run down his mouth and cried out loudly, "Not long after you left, I felt very hungry. But I don't dare to go far, for fear that you won't find anyone when you come back. So I only dare to look for something nearby to fill my stomach......
Lockhart is a well-known writer in the wizarding world, and even after losing his memory, his storytelling skills are quite good-
It turned out that in order to maintain his best image, Lockhart didn't even eat anything when he held a tea party at Madame Padiv's teahouse, and appeared in front of his fans with an empty stomach from morning to afternoon, wearing a tight robe with a good figure.
In the evening, Lockhart, who had not eaten for a day, instinctively felt hungry even if he lost his memory. But he doesn't know anyone now, and he doesn't have any opinions, so he doesn't dare to leave Dracula, the only backbone.
When Dracula received the urgent message and left the banks of the Danube, Lockhart felt more panicked than ever, and did not dare to go far, only to look for food to fill his stomach nearby.
His luck was not bad, and there were a few young lads picnicking on the riverbank. So Lockhart grimaced and gestured, begging for some food from them.
However, these lads are not good at stubble. Most of them are thugs on the street who bully the weak and fear the hard, and people hate dogs.
The thugs asked Lockhart for money on the spot.
But where did Lockhart have Muggle coins, and he rummaged around before digging a few gold Galleons out of his pocket, thinking that they would be exchanged for enough food
Thing.
However, it is precisely these pure gold currencies that make the gangsters have bad intentions.
They surrounded Lockhart, beat him viciously, and searched him all over his body. The thugs had found a dozen gold coins and several silver coins from Lockhart, much to their excitement.
And during the body search, the thugs also found that Lockhart's robe material was not ordinarily good. So they were ruthless, and they directly ripped off all of Lockhart's clothes, and finally kindly left him with a pair of shorts, and walked away.
….
……
After listening to Lockhart's story, Dracula was overwhelmed with emotion.
Who would have thought that a well-known writer in the wizarding world, the dream lover of many witches, who was still proud in the morning, would turn into a poor worm bullied by the thugs in the blink of an eye at night?
He turned his head to look at Tesla beside him.
"See, this wizard has lost his old memories, and his brain is probably completely broken." Dracula said, "Now I'll leave him to you, and you can take revenge as much as you want, and I won't interfere."
Tesla looked at Lockhart, who was frozen next to him and was embarrassed, and was silent for a long time.
"Forget it." He let out a long sigh and whispered, "He's learned enough. To take revenge on him under such circumstances would inevitably make me lose my noble dignity as a blood clan."
"Are you sure?" Dracula asked with a chuckle.
"yes, I'm sure." Tesla nodded, "I have other things to do, there's no need to waste time on a fool."
He turned and walked in the direction of Robert's cabin.
"Master Dracula, thank you so much for telling me this. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have known until Robert died, and he had lost all his memories of me. Tesla took two steps, stopped abruptly, turned back and bowed solemnly to Dracula.
"Also, can I ask you and Lord Alcatel for a period of vacation? I want to do something personal."
Dracula looked at Tesla's persistent expression with interest, chuckled, and nodded at him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Dracula!" Tesla bowed deeply again.
Then he walked to Robert's cabin with a determined look.
……
Tesla stayed under the eaves of Robert's cottage until dawn.
The sun slowly rose over the hills to the east, bringing a glow of light, and the distant cascading clouds reflected a strange light into Robert's wooden window.
Robert, an elderly man who lived alone and had a very accurate biological clock, got up on time, pushed open the wooden door, and walked out of the door with a scythe on his shoulder.
Looking at the bright sun, he yawned a little sleepily.
I slept well last night, but I was woken up by a young man who didn't know where to find it.
Robert was a little depressed.
Really, how can you come close to it when others are resting at night? This kind of young man who has no vision will definitely not be able to please his boss, so he should rely on his unremitting efforts to make progress!
Robert was so pleased with his previous night's teaching that he couldn't help but smile pleasantly, humming an old song, and walking to the other half of the lettuce field that had not been harvested yesterday.
Looking at the green lettuce seedlings, his mood is even more comfortable, these simple crops can bring him spiritual comfort.
"Robert." Just then, a voice shouted to him.
Robert turned around in confusion and looked under the eaves—a figure in a formal suit, with a five-minute hair and a goatee, standing in the shadows of the sun under the eaves.
"Didn't I say, young man? I'm not an Auror Captain anymore!" Seeing the young man he had seen last night, Robert said helplessly, "And how can you be so close? No matter how bad it is, you should spend two or three days, and then come back when the leader almost forgets about you!"
"Let me tell you, young people like you should work hard at the grassroots level to hone their skills and exercise their skills......
"Actually...... I'm not here to get close to you." Tesla interrupted Robert's tirade and smiled.
"Oh?" Robert was stunned for a moment.
"I'm a little hungry and haven't found anything to eat." Tesla looked at Robert deeply and said softly,
"Robert, can you give me two lettuces?"
