Chapter 116: [Enemy Aircraft First (Blue)], [Celebrity (Green)]
The Daily Prophet, the best-selling newspaper in the British wizarding world, has a large photo on the front page that takes up half the page, the kind that moves.
On the left is the burly and terrifying bear goblin, and behind him are a few goblins showing their faces, and there are two fallen fishmen on the ground.
On the right are Mr. Weasley, a few wizards in the lead, and Ted and the others behind him.
It turned out to be the photographer who took pictures of Lockhart, who didn't run away after the incident, but hid to take pictures and grab materials.
Don't say it, it's quite professional, and the angle and composition are very well captured.
It's a pity that it's black and white, if only the color one can get him a prize.
It's the nineties, and you still use black and white photos, so you can say how backward the wizarding world is!
The entire emergency special was about the monster attack on Tumbledown Alley and Diagon Alley in the morning.
The monster is said to have emerged from Tumbledown Alley, and it is tentatively believed that it was caused by a dark wizard smuggling magical creatures, and the Aurors are now tracking it down.
All the monsters that escaped have been cleaned up.
In the whole incident, there were seven casualties, four dead, including one goblin, who was wounded three.
And the one who was most seriously injured broke two legs and almost died.
The head with the least injured injury was smashed, and it took ten minutes to get to the hospital.
On top of that, two of the UK's most prosperous magical shopping streets have been damaged, with many shops of all sizes damaged.
The biggest loss was in the Bogin Bock store, and some monsters took advantage of the chaos to light a fire, but fortunately the loss was not large, after all, the magic protection in the store was still very dense. But it is inevitable that it will be burned to the black.
That's a big deal!
Although there are wizards in the wizarding world who die at every turn, and then hang up. For example, the spell is out of control and so on.
Since then, it has become a joke in the mouths of wizards, and it can be told for years.
But like this, three wizards and one goblin died at once, but it was quite shocking.
That's one ten-thousandth of the population of the wizarding world in Great Britain!
It's only been a few hours, but the newspapers are talking about it like crazy.
A large crowd of people lashed out at the Ministry of Magic, saying that they were eating dry food and taking taxpayers' money and not doing their business.
There are also radical pure-blood wizards, calling for strict supervision of visitors from other worlds.
There are also those who say that the murderers will be severely punished and the black industry will be cleaned up.
Of course, there are a few people who say that it is thanks to Weasley and his party......
You think that the wizarding world is usually calm, and there is no big movement, and Ted can attract twenty or thirty people to drink tea and eat melon seeds every day.
This suddenly made such a big deal, and the bamboo shoots exploded!
Since Voldemort's defeat, Diagon Alley hasn't had an incident for more than a decade. And now you're being attacked by a bunch of monsters?!
Ted read it all from beginning to end, from newspaper reports to statements from Ministry of Magic officials, to the opinions of wizards who were invited to comment or write directly.
It's good, I just mentioned my name once, and I was praised a few words with everyone.
While there were two lines that said that Ted's "special Freeze Charm that had been modified worked well", there was no more.
That's a good idea, so as not to make a big fuss.
Ted felt he had made the right decision.
Send Hermione home in the afternoon, and Jerry goes home too.
School is about to start, and the salted fish net will be temporarily closed in the last few days, not to mention that if this happens, there will be no one in Diagon Alley.
The Leaky Cauldron Bar is also very deserted, how can anyone still come to drink?
Old Tom was not annoyed by this, he had lived for decades, and he had never seen any storms, all of them temporary.
Ted returned to his room, and Ted collapsed on the bed.
"Well done Parker." He complimented Pack, the crystal servant. At that time, he was able to freeze bear goblins, thanks to Parker's assistance.
"My pleasure~" Parker jumped up and down the table excitedly.
"And Ansu, this fire is relieving. Fire and water are ruthless, and I hope that Mr. Bogin Bock will pay more attention in the future. ”
Ted pulls out a few beef jerky to lure Ansu away, as Ansu wants to peck twice when she sees Parker's smug movements. Ravens are interested in shiny things.
Ted lay down in bed and began to look at his two newly harvested cards.
【Enemy Aircraft First (Blue)】
Spell Cards
Psionic energy is extremely active for 10 minutes after use, and has a high probability of reacting to sneak attacks and accidents in advance.
Cooldown time 6 hours.
This card is a bit interesting, it's actually a card about psionic energy, which is rare!
Ted tried to use it, then closed his eyes and picked up an apple and tossed it above his head...... When the apple fell to his head, he suddenly dodged, dodged without vision, and reached out to catch the apple.
"It's an amazing feeling!"
Ted was overjoyed, not only because the card worked well, but also because he was able to emulate the psionic card to develop similar psychic abilities.
When the time comes, it won't be limited by cards~
Second Card:
【Celebrity (Green)】
Spell Cards
Use: +2 Charisma for 30 minutes.
Cool for 12 hours.
Note: Everywhere you go, you are concerned, and the days under the spotlight are not so good~
"Did I last time I was a celebrity?" Ted thought it was a little funny.
In fact, he was really wrong at this point.
After all, when Ted crossed over, it was already the Internet era. If the newspaper doesn't say it's extinct, no one reads it, and the influence is low.
And now in this world, newspapers still have a certain influence, although they are also divided by TV and radio, but there are still many people who read them. The British are known for their love of reading newspapers.
In the wizarding world, there is only paper media, and mainstream newspapers such as the Daily Prophet are almost subscribed to by every household.
The wizarding world has a small population and can't support many newspapers, so only one is dominant.
And many wizards are scattered and live all over the country, and if they want to be the first to know the changes and information in the wizarding world, they really can't do without the Daily Prophet.
Therefore, Ted's name is actually known to eighty or ninety percent of wizards in Great Britain. It's not all memorable, but it's amazing.
……
A few days after the "Monster Siege", martial law began in Diagon Alley.
Ted saw four or five wizards in Diagon Alley with serious expressions and wary eyes, their hands ready to draw their wands.
These are the violent divisions of the Ministry of Magic - Strikers and Aurors.
The striker is probably equivalent to Minjing, and the Auror is equivalent to Wujing.
Most of these people are at level 7 to 9, which is a bit higher than the average wizard.
Some of them even have level 11 or 12 elites. This belongs to the elite Aurors.
The main thing is that both the Aurors and the Striker have specialized training and will learn a lot of offensive and defensive magic.
Now the Ministry of Magic has been slapped in the face, so it has sent someone to patrol the streets.
During this time, Tumbledown Alley was doubled by a special operation to sweep away gangsters and eliminate evil, and many gray area wizards who were eating in Tumbledown Alley were arrested. However, the crime is usually only a few months or a year or two in Azkaban.
Ted couldn't let go of this good opportunity, and secretly controlled Parker to make a lot of camouflage traces in front of Boginbock's store, resulting in Boginbock's store being sealed.
Although with their family's connections and connections, it won't take long to recover, but it will definitely be very troublesome during this time period.
Alas~ It's very comfortable!
But Ted didn't pay much attention to Diagon Alley, because school was about to start.
You'll have to pack up your stuff as soon as possible, especially if you vacate the basement.
In more than two months, this place will become a laboratory. A lot of things have to be disposed of, and traces have to be restored.
Some alchemical experiments and potion boiling waste materials are to be disposed of properly.
Where wizards live, it's easy to "breed" some magical beings. Something like a boggart, a ghoul, potato essence or something.
Because they are all born because of magic, the presence of wizards will condense magic.
So these things are always present where wizards live.
If Ted doesn't handle it well, it won't be a "haunted bar" in a while.
……
Ted opened his eyes, and the system prompt arrived.
That's right, today is September 1st, the day of school, and it's also the time for new otherworldly knowledge to refresh.
"Ding~ Talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] triggered, discover [Yanhuo Village Cat Rice Recipe Daquan (Green)]."
[Yanhuo Village Cat Rice Recipe Daquan (Green)], which records the cooking recipes of the Ailu cats in Yanhuo Village to make cat rice. Costs 190 XP to redeem.
"Huh? Cat rice! Ted was stunned for a moment, remembering the fear of being dominated by the cat cart.
"Isn't it...... Luck! Ted shook his head.
It's okay, it's kind of useful.
Eating a buff, doesn't this get together with Azeroth's cooking?
Redeemed, I'll go to the school kitchen to study it after school starts.
Well, maybe Professor McGonagall will like it~
Ted's luggage was turned fist-sized with the newly learned "Item Shrinking Charm" and tucked into his trouser pocket.
Take Ansu and Parker, say goodbye to Old Tom, and take a taxi to the train station.
This time, Ted came early, and when he came through the wall to the platform of nine and three-quarters, there were not many people.
Ted got into the car directly and took up a box.
After about forty or fifty minutes, Hermione was at the station.
Seeing Hermione happily and smiling as she pushed the luggage cart away impatiently, her old father, Mr. Granger, couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes, and the little padded jacket was not close~
