Ignoring the more than three hundred gold galleons, he picked up the magic books one by one that could not be purchased on the market.
"Hey, this is a diary."
From those dozen magic books, Li Chuan found a somewhat worn diary.
He opened it and browsed it briefly. It turned out to be some recorded fragments of the old wizard's own experiences. Although it was scattered, it also gave him some understanding of the old wizard.
The old wizard's name is Manu Angel. His mother is a witch and his father is a Muggle. Because of his handsome appearance, his mother, a witch, fell in love with his father.
However, due to the existence of the Secrecy Law, she had to give up her identity as a witch and marry her father at the cost of never picking up a wand again.
However, due to an accident, his father knew his mother's identity as a witch. He was as afraid of the existence of witches as any other Muggle. He and other Muggles even cruelly wanted to burn his mother and the three-year-old Manu to death.
As a witch, she would not be killed by mere flames. Her mother and little Manu sadly escaped from the Muggle village by apparating.
Because of performing magic in front of Muggles, his mother was arrested and imprisoned, and finally died of depression, while little Manu was raised by his uncle and entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The shadow of childhood made little Manu hate Muggles extremely, and he was obsessed with the powerful power brought by black magic.
After graduation, he was wanted by the Ministry of Magic for repeatedly killing Muggles to conduct magic experiments. As a result, he lived a life of wandering around the world and became a ruthless dark wizard.
Over the years, more than a hundred Muggles have died at his hands, and a dozen wizards have also been killed.
Because he heard about Grindelwald's deeds and recognized Grindelwald's ideas very much, he planned to sell some of the poison he made in Knockturn Alley and join Grindelwald in France.
I just didn't expect that it would fall into the hands of Li Chuan, a half-assed wizard.
There is no way, who would have thought that at three o'clock in the morning in Knockturn Alley, there would be a sneaky person hiding in the wall to attack.
The key is not the magic used. If Li Chuan used the disarming spell, as an experienced old wizard, he would definitely be able to detect it in advance and cast a spell to stop it.
Who could react when trying to grab the wand with your body? The strength of your hand was so strong that even a layer of my skin was pulled off without even keeping my wand.
Putting the diary, magic book, gold galleons and various sundries into his bag, Li Chuan went downstairs and walked to the basement.
He wanted to have a good talk with the old wizard.
If he learns those black magic and alchemy skills by himself, he may not be able to master them until he leaves this world, but with the guidance of a senior dark wizard, the speed will be much faster.
"Tom Foley, it's you!"
In the basement, Old Manu, who was tightly tied with iron chains, recognized Li Chuan the first time he saw him.
The owner of the herbal medicine shop in Diagon Alley and the last wizard of the Forley family of the Twenty-Eight Saints, Li Chuan's original strength is not that great, but he is still somewhat famous.
"It seems you know me!"
A rather kind smile appeared on Li Chuan's face.
Old Manu glanced at the house elf Barry next to him with some fear, gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his anger and asked:
"I don't seem to have any grudge against you. Why did you attack me and tie me up here?"
"Well, we really don't have any grudges. To be honest, I attacked you just because you just meet my conditions. I need a teacher who can teach me black magic."
"teacher?"
Old Manu was stunned and was speechless for a moment.
After he just woke up, he had been thinking about whether he had offended someone recently, or whether the family and friends of the wizard he had killed before wanted to take revenge on him.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be such an unbelievable reason.
If you want to find a teacher to teach you black magic, just go to Knockturn Alley and kidnap one back? Is there such a thing?
"Mr. Manu, you will stay here for the next period of time. Your task is to answer all my questions about black magic. Don't think about running away, Barry will be watching you.
If I find you showing signs of escaping, I will kill you directly, then go to Knockturn Alley and kidnap someone back.
You have to understand that there are many dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, and you are not the only one."
Li Chuan smiled, but the killing intent in his words made Manu, a dark wizard, tremble.
He felt that the other party was more like a dark wizard than himself.
"Then if I answer all your questions, will you let me go?"
Manu knew the current situation and had no other choice but to agree, but he was also afraid that the other party would still kill him after he was no longer of use.
Li Chuan nodded:
"Don't worry, I swear on the name of the Foley family that as long as you sincerely guide me in learning black magic and related knowledge, I will let you go completely and safely."
He is not the real Tom Foley, and swearing in the name of the Foley family is of course just a matter of course.
Let a ruthless dark wizard leave and wait for him to find time to take revenge. Li Chuan is not such a naive fool.
Even if you really want to let old Manu leave, it won't be possible completely. At least you have to use a forgetting spell to clear his memory so that he can completely forget what happened at Foley Manor.
"Okay, then I promise you."
Hearing Li Chuan swear an oath in the name of his family, Lao Manu agreed without any hesitation.
Almost everyone in the wizarding world knows that as long as a wizard, especially a pure-blood wizard, swears by his family, it is basically impossible to lie.
Especially since Tom Foley is a member of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clan, it is even more impossible to make fun of the family casually.
"But I want to warn you, if you don't teach seriously and I learn slowly, then I will kill you!"
As he spoke, Li Chuan waved his wand and cast a cutting spell on the man in a suit tied to the cross next to him, cutting off his head and causing blood to spurt out.
The fat man next to the man in the suit and several others were immediately frightened and began to howl like ghosts.
The dark wizard was not surprised by this situation. He just twitched the corner of his mouth silently and cursed secretly:
"Merlin's underpants, if you are poor at learning, you have to blame me if you can't learn!"
He cursed in his heart, but he also understood that the other party's attitude was definitely not a joke. If he dared not teach him seriously, he might really die here.
It is not difficult for a wizard to live to be a hundred years old. He is only sixty years old and does not want to die so early.
