Chapter 37
You still say you're not undercover agents?!
Chapter 37 You still say you're not undercover agents?!
When Shire returned to the entrance of Knockturn Alley, a group of dark wizards were still stuck in the swamp created by transfiguration, like potatoes.
Upon seeing Charles's figure emerge from the depths of Knockdown Alley, the dark wizards' eyes were filled with an overwhelming fear.
During the time that Charles was missing, they prayed countless times that God would have eyes and that Charles, this audacious little wizard, would be killed deep in Knockturn Alley.
But now, Charles emerged unharmed, the bag he carried even rattling with each step, clearly full of spoils.
What does this tell us?
This means that Ciel really did break through the entire Knockout Alley!
Knockout Alley, a place that strikes fear into the hearts of ordinary wizards, was ransacked today by a young wizard who hasn't even started school yet!
"What kind of little monster is this?!"
"Even Dumbledore, Grindelwald, or even that person whose name can't be mentioned, couldn't possibly have this kind of strength at this age!"
One after another, gazes filled with fear, awe, and even reverence were directed at Xia Er.
When Charles's gaze fell upon them, the dark wizards instinctively lowered their heads, adopting the humble posture of the weak facing the strong.
Charles nodded in satisfaction, waved his wand, and released Tonks, who was stuck in the swamp.
At this moment, Tonks was also completely shocked.
She could hardly believe that a mere wizard could have accomplished such a feat, robbing this group of dark wizards from Knockturn Alley of everything.
Is this guy really eleven years old?!
Tonks, who had always considered himself to be quite talented, suddenly felt a strong sense of disillusionment.
Am I really that bad?
However, Tonks quickly came to his senses and couldn't help but try to persuade Charles.
"Ciel, what you're doing is wrong."
"Although these are all dark wizards, this is robbery, and the amount involved is enormous. If the Ministry of Magic finds out, you'll be in big trouble..."
Before he could finish speaking, Charles frowned.
"It's so noisy."
With a flick of the wand, several ropes were twisted into a ball and stuffed into Tonks' mouth, leaving her only able to make soft whimpering sounds.
Then, even tighter ropes were wrapped around Tonks, binding her hands and feet securely to prevent her from Apparating away and causing Sharl to lose this unique Animagus disguise material, which is unparalleled in the magical world.
Just then, as if reminded by Tonks' words, he suddenly realized something.
Charles, who was about to leave, glanced at the dark wizards and asked a question.
"You all heard it too, there was quite a commotion tonight. If the Ministry of Magic finds out, I'll be in real trouble."
"You won't go to the Ministry of Magic and tell them I robbed you, will you?"
"I'll be going to Hogwarts soon, and I don't want to be questioned by the Ministry of Magic every other day."
"Are you going to the Ministry of Magic?"
The black wizards were terrified and hurriedly shook their heads, not daring to hesitate for a moment.
They now have no doubt that if their answer doesn't satisfy Charles, they might really be drowned in the swamp by this little monster!
"No, how could that be? We're dark wizards, why would we go to the Ministry of Magic to complain?"
"Lord Charles, please rest assured, we dark wizards have professional ethics!"
Charles raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
"What if someone investigates and asks what happened tonight, how did such a commotion occur, what will you say?"
The dark wizards fell silent.
The next moment, a quick-witted dark wizard immediately spoke.
"Our Fandaoxiang has always been known for its simple and honest people. We all love each other like one big family, and we welcome any child who comes to Fandaoxiang with great enthusiasm."
"The commotion tonight was because Knockturn Alley was holding a welcoming ceremony for Mr. Charles!"
Charles paused for a moment, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Your doors and windows were destroyed, many people were drowned in the mud, and many others were hung upside down..."
This time, there was no need for that clever dark wizard to come up with a solution; other dark wizards immediately followed suit.
"This is all part of the carnival!"
"We're so happy! We're so excited to see Mr. Charles come to Knockturn Alley that we've even taken down our doors and windows."
"As for being submerged in the mud? Or hanging upside down? That's all just a performance! We're performing holding our breath in the mud, while they're performing acrobatics!"
Charles asked the last question with satisfaction.
"What would you say if someone asked you where your wands and many other magical items went?"
All the dark wizards present gave the same answer.
"Gift!"
"Local specialties!"
"We are so sad to see Mr. Charles leave Knockdown Lane, so we are giving him all these things as gifts and local specialties."
"We all donated voluntarily!"
Now, Charles was completely satisfied.
He reached out his hand, intending to pull Tonks to the Leaky Cauldron to study the materials for disguising himself as an Animagus.
But seeing Tonks covered in mud, Ciel withdrew his hand, and with a look of disgust, used his Transfiguration to conjure a garbage cart and threw Tonks into it.
At this moment, Tonks looked at the four walls of the garbage truck with a face full of despair, as if his soul had been ripped from the world.
She had only one thought in her mind.
"Let's just destroy this magical world!"
……
Long after Ciel led Tonks away from Knockturn Alley, the mud and ropes created by the Transfiguration spell were finally released.
One by one, the black wizards, covered in dust and dirt, shivered as they moved their stiff bodies.
Tonight was a complete nightmare for them.
After regaining their senses, all the dark wizards revealed expressions of hatred, casting their gazes at the few dark wizards who had brought Charles to Diagon Alley in the first place.
"So it was you guys who led Charles here?"
"Are you guys out of your minds?"
"Why did you guys provoke him? Now look what's happened, I'm completely broke, all my Galleons were stolen by Ciel!"
"You guys aren't actually spies hired by Ciel, are you?!"
Seeing this display of power, the dark wizards swallowed hard.
The middle-aged black wizard quickly defended himself.
"How could that be? How could we be spies hired by Charles?"
"We have a deep-seated, irreconcilable hatred for the Charles!"
Then, he quickly added.
"This isn't over yet. This isn't over. We can't let Charles get away with this. We have to get back all the money we earned."
"Weren't we all just being polite and evasive with Ciel? Now that Ciel's gone, we can speak freely."
"We're going to the Ministry of Magic, we're going to the Wizengamot Court, we're going to Hogwarts to unfurl banners and demand an explanation! That madman Shire will never be allowed into Hogwarts!"
"We must disqualify him from attending Hogwarts, we must have him sentenced by Wizengamot to have his wand broken, we must make Shire pay for what he did today, and he and his direct descendants for three generations will be barred from taking the Ministry of Magic exams..."
Before he could finish speaking, a powerful blow landed squarely on the middle-aged black wizard's face.
This was followed by increasingly angry voices from the dark wizards nearby.
"So, if Shire doesn't go to Hogwarts, won't he just be stuck in the dark wizarding world?"
"So what do we do?"
"How cruel you are! What a vicious suggestion! Do you want us to die?"
"You sons of bitches, you still say you're not undercover agents?!"
"Beat these damn undercover agents to death and expel them from their dark wizarding ranks!"
