After the exchange, the shop owner and Ryan returned to the store together. What just happened made Ryan really afraid to stay here any longer, so he and Hermione hurriedly paid the bill and left the store. When they walked out of the store, they saw from the backyard
Two more people came over, one was Principal Fernando, and the other was a middle-aged wizard with an undistinguished appearance. If Ryan were still here, he would have recognized that this middle-aged wizard was the one who guided them to where they were just asking for directions.
Came from this store.
"Frank, is that little guy reliable?" the middle-aged wizard asked the shopkeeper.
"He is even better than we thought. At that time, I just heard that one of the British students could enter the Emerald Dream, and I thought that with his strength, I might be able to give it a try. But in the conflict caused by the misunderstanding just now, I discovered that
His strength is far beyond my imagination." Frank the shopkeeper said.
"But I feel a little unsafe. According to the information I got, the boy is from a purely Muggle family. But both the several powerful spells he released without a wand and the magic weapon in his hand just now revealed a strong sense of weirdness.
Those things are not what a Mazda wizard should have. What if he is a spy of the Chimera Society?" the middle-aged wizard said with some suspicion.
"Oh, Hans, you have been the captain of the Auror team for too long, and sometimes you are too suspicious. You must know that people who can enter the Emerald Dream will never interact with those guys from the Chimera Society who use evil methods to transform natural life.
Mixed together. At least based on my experience of looking at people for so many years, that little guy will not be a bad person." Principal Fernando refuted the middle-aged man's point of view just now.
"I think so too, Hans." At this time, the shopkeeper Frank also interjected, "He did not run away but followed me when he mistakenly thought I was going to kill him. On the one hand, it shows that he has a certain understanding of his own strength.
(Ryan: No, it’s just that the grocery store has recently launched an escape system, so he is sure to run away.) On the other hand, it is also because he has companions here and he wants to protect his companions. So from this perspective, he
A good man. There is no need for us to doubt him like this."
"Okay, maybe what you said is right. I should be paranoid." The middle-aged man who should be an Auror said. "I really hope that we can catch all those guys from the Chimera Society this time, after all, they defected
Things like the ones brought by the Saints have been in their hands for too long. Even if Grindelwald set enough seals on them, I would still be worried that they would find a way to break the seals after such a long time. If you look at it this way
Come on, the little guy just now is stronger, which is a good thing. I hope he can hold the opponent back for a while, so that we can catch the Chimera Society by its tail."
"Yes, I think so too." Principal Fernando said. "That thing is still too dangerous and cannot be in the hands of a group of lunatics and terrorists. If most of our Chimera Club didn't know each other,
I would not take this tactic and find a little British guy I don't know at all to be the internal response. To be honest, this goes against my philosophy as a principal. After all, we still involve someone who has nothing to do with it."
"Yeah, I hope everything goes well this time. But you don't have to feel guilty for taking advantage of that little guy. I will definitely give him enough reward in the end. Besides, we are doing a good thing, not an evil thing.
White lies are acceptable at this time," shopkeeper Frank concluded.
Of course, Ryan was completely unaware of the conversations between these people in the store, otherwise he would never have accepted this task due to his conscientious habits. After all, this task may actually involve the important legacy of the Saints and Grindelwald.
It doesn't look like something that can be accomplished easily.
Unaware that trouble was about to come, Ryan and Hermione returned to the streets. After purchasing a large package of potion ingredients and mailing them to the Weasley twins via Owl Post Office, Ryan and the three of them found a local specialty store.
Went to the restaurant for lunch.
Yes, it was three people. Because Ryan and the others met Zhang Qiu who was writing a letter to Cedric in the Owl Post Office. After all, Halloween was coming and everyone was preparing for the holiday. After chatting in the hall for a while, they
Decided to go have lunch together.
Because it is a local restaurant, everyone naturally eats aboriginal-style food. Ryan ordered a grilled arowana for his lunch.
"Why do you want to eat this kind of freshwater fish with spines everywhere?" Hermione asked curiously while eating her portion of barbecue rice.
"You must know that this kind of fish is used as an ornamental fish in the East, and a good-quality one may cost tens of thousands of pounds. I chose this fish just to feel the feeling of enjoying luxury goods." Ryan broke down a piece of fish with a knife and fork.
said.
During this lunch, they also gradually became familiar with Zhang Qiu, as a Ravenclaw top student. It was obvious that she and Hermione had a lot in common, and during the communication, Ryan also learned a lot that they had not known before.
Something very clear.
For example, Zhang Qiu's appearance is the best-looking among the girls Ryan knows, rather than the ordinary one in the movie version. This is more in line with Aunt Rowling's original description. Another point is that Zhang Qiu herself is mixed-race.
The wizard's mother works in the Ministry of Magic, and her father is a Muggle who runs a restaurant in London's Chinatown. After she showed her magical abilities as a child, she began to slowly come into contact with the magical world.
For example, at the dinner table he told Ryan and Hermione that she had supported the Tuthill Tornados since she was six years old and decided to become a player because of this.
Ryan was a little surprised by the mixed-race wizard Zhang Qiu. After all, she had been exposed to the magical world since she was a child, so Ryan had always thought that she was pure blood. But think about it, after all, there are only so many people in the British magical world, and it is possible that there would be a male and a female Chinese of the right age.
She was too young, so as a witch, it was normal for Zhang Qiu's mother to find a Muggle of the same race.
However, what makes Ryan a little frustrated is that maybe because his parents belong to the early immigrants, so although Zhang Qiu can speak Chinese, he can only speak Cantonese in Chinese and cannot speak Mandarin. This makes Ryan and Zhang
Qiu can only use English when communicating.
Hermione was a little surprised that they couldn't communicate even though they had the same mother tongue. However, considering that the number of people in China exceeds the population of the entire Europe, this situation is not incomprehensible.
The most surprising thing is that Zhang Qiu actually knew Ryan's grandfather. It's no wonder, after all, Ryan's grandfather first ran a restaurant in London's Chinatown. Chinatown is so big, and it's not surprising that people who run restaurants on the street know each other.
of.
However, Lane discovered an interesting thing in Zhang Qiu's narrative, that is, when Zhang Qiu was five or six years old, Lane's grandfather visited her home and saw her levitating a cup with magic power at the dinner table.
But at that time, Ryan's grandfather was still drinking tea with Zhang Qiu's grandfather with a calm face. So to this day, Zhang Qiu is not sure whether Ryan's grandfather saw the cup hanging in the air.
It seems that there may be some stories about this grandfather who returned to China to retire. Ryan thought this way.
After lunch, Zhang Qiu said goodbye to them and prepared to go shopping elsewhere, while Ryan and Hermione planned to take advantage of the hot weather at noon when no one came out to visit the bookstores that were crowded just now.
