Chapter 90 Harvest (please order first) (first update)
Why did Li Chuan take the risk to kidnap a dark wizard in Knockturn Alley?
This started when he read all the books related to magic during this period.
He discovered that the curses in the wizarding world are mainly divided into ordinary curses and dark curses.
Ordinary spells are magic related to life such as floating spells, cleaning spells, cooking spells, etc., while dark spells are mainly more aggressive spells.
Most of the normal spells can be learned from purchased spell books, which are also explained in great detail.
But that's not necessarily the case with Dark Curse.
Black curses are mainly divided into jinxes, poisonous curses and curses. The damage caused by jinxes and poisonous curses is not great, so many spells and learning methods can be found in some curse books.
For example, the knockback curse, the salvo curse, the extraction curse, the bat spirit curse, the knee reverse curse, etc.
However, except for some dark wizards, many normal wizards do not know how to learn extremely harmful magic like curses, so they can rarely be obtained through normal channels.
But when Li Chuan came to this world, how could he let go of those powerful and useful curses?
So he thought of a method that not only saved time and gold galleons, but also obtained the curse and had someone who could guide him in learning the curse.
That is to directly kidnap a dark wizard back to the manor.
The place where dark wizards often hang out is Knockturn Alley, especially many dark wizards like to go to Knockturn Alley at night to trade some banned magic items.
As the owner of the herbal medicine shop, Tom Foley also went to Knockturn Alley at night. It should be said that almost most wizards have the experience of going to Knockturn Alley to buy things.
After all, there are some rare things that can really only be purchased in places like Knockturn Alley where dark wizards often hang out.
This is why everyone knows that Knockturn Alley is unsafe, but it still exists and has always existed.
"Earth Release: Rock Hidden Technique!"
After arriving at Knockturn Alley, Li Chuan found a relatively hidden position and performed a D-level earth escape ninjutsu. In an instant, his body merged with the wall of Knockturn Alley.
In fact, it can't be regarded as fusion. It can only be said that the surface of his body has formed the same color as the wall of Knockturn Alley, making him look like he has integrated into the wall.
The strength of dark wizards varies. Some wild wizards may not be as powerful as Hogwarts students, but some are quite good.
And they basically all have one characteristic, that is, they have extensive research on various vicious black curses. If they are too careless, they may capsize in the gutter.
Therefore, Li Chuan did not intend to fight head-on, but chose a more steady sneak attack.
The main dark wizards are bound to use escape magic such as Apparition, and it is impossible to catch them without a sneak attack.
Especially those dark wizards who can survive many hunts by Aurors may cast spells and run away if they feel something is wrong.
For one hour, two hours, three hours, he kept hiding his body by relying on the Rock Hidden Technique, screening the dark wizards who passed by him one by one.
Don't do it if you are young, don't do it if you are too far away and a sneak attack may fail, and don't do it if there is a second wizard within sight.
It wasn't until nearly three o'clock in the morning that he finally found a more suitable target.
It was an old wizard who was probably close to sixty years old. He walked out of the magic shop opposite with a satisfied look on his face, holding more than twenty gold Galleons in exchange for the poison he refined.
When he walked to the wall where Li Chuan was hiding and was about to wave his wand to apparate away, Li Chuan took action at the right moment.
He did not launch a direct attack on the old wizard because he was not sure whether the other party had refined the iron armor spell and other defensive magic on his wizard robe, nor was he sure whether the other party could react and launch a counterattack.
Instead, he quickly approached him at the fastest speed his body could achieve, stretched out his hand and snatched the wand from his hand.
In this world, most wizards are basically no threat without their wands. Even if a small number can still cast spells, their power is greatly reduced, and their speed is not as fast as when they hold a wand.
Only top-level figures like Dumbledore and Grindelwald can narrow this gap.
The moment the wand was taken away, the old wizard was stunned for a moment because he did not expect a hand to reach out from the wall.
But it was obvious that this old wizard was no idler. Even without his wand, he did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he chanted spells quickly in his mouth, as if he wanted to cast spells without a wand.
However, how could Li Chuan, who was well prepared, let him get his wish? While snatching away the wand, he directly bumped into the old wizard and performed the phantom transformation.
Apparition is the most convenient way for wizards to move in space, but many wizards rarely choose to use it unless it is an emergency.
Because the feeling when apparating is like being squeezed into a very thin pipe, and it will also be accompanied by strong dizziness.
Many wizards even vomit directly when they successfully perform Apparition for the first time.
The moment Li Chuan led the old wizard into Apparition, the strong discomfort immediately interrupted the curse that the old wizard was about to cast. When he got out of this discomfort and wanted to cast a spell again, a magical light had already been accurately cast.
It hit him in the back.
"Good job, Barry!"
In Foley Manor, Li Chuan, who had also just recovered from the discomfort of Apparition, looked at the unconscious old wizard and gave a thumbs up to Barry, the house elf next to him.
After being praised by her master, Barry was so excited that she almost collapsed.
It turns out that before Li Chuan left the manor by apparating, he had already ordered Barry to wait there. Once he brought someone back, he would cast a sleeping spell on the person he brought as soon as possible.
House elves do not need wands or incantations to cast spells, and ordinary wizards are no match for them, let alone a wizard who has just been Apparated and does not have a wand.
After stripping off all the things on the old wizard's body, he was tied tightly to the basement with chains, and Barry was kept invisible to guard him. Li Chuan went back upstairs to sleep first.
Early the next morning, he did not go downstairs to see the old wizard first, but began to check the things he had collected from the old wizard.
There are not many things, there are only three items in total, an old silver pocket watch, faintly exuding magic waves, the specific ability is unknown, it should be a magic item.
A wand, the old wizard's magic wand, was of little use.
Li Chuan gently opened an inconspicuous small box and looked inside, with a look of surprise on his face.
Because this box, like his bag, was cast with a traceless expansion spell, there was a lot of space inside, and he also saw a lot of gold Galleons and magic books.
