Chapter 5 5: Can this stump me?
Ding!
Congratulations, you have obtained the extraordinary characteristic [Butcher Instinct].
In the kitchen, when he was about to kill the hen in front of him with a knife, a surprised expression flashed across Ian's face, and then he began to check the effects of the characteristics.
Acquiring extraordinary characteristics means that a skill has been mastered and part of the true meaning of the skill has been understood.
Just like the characteristics of psychology, thinking and perception.
As for the characteristics of biological anatomy, I don’t know what the effect is?
Ian checked the characteristics and found that this butcher instinct can analyze the best anatomical structure of any creature at a glance.
How should I put it, this skill is better than nothing?
Looking at the caught hen.
Ian felt at this moment that he seemed to be able to penetrate the chicken's feathers and directly find the most suitable position for the knife.
Then, the blade moved, and only a "click" was heard.
A hen was completely killed.
Even the chefs nearby couldn't help but praise this decisive approach.
“Wow, Ian, your butchering skills are getting better and better!”
After Ian kills the chicken.
Then help cut the chickens that have been feathered by the chefs.
Crack it with a few knives.
The chicken came out neatly cut.
Ian also smiled and replied: "Haha, I am much more proficient."
After acquiring the extraordinary characteristics of the skill, he really improved by leaps and bounds.
The extraordinary characteristics of this kind of ordinary skills are indeed magical enough, but they are only magical. Ian can't help but look forward to it if he learns magic.
Will the extraordinary characteristics born from magic be more powerful and wonderful?
Unfortunately, it will take half a month to wait for Owl to buy study books.
To this day, Ian still doesn’t know why Dumbledore visited home first.
Is the charm of Wu's Orphanage really so great?
On the desk in the morning, he found that he could no longer read.
“It takes so long! I really want to learn magic!”
I waited for several days.
Ian only feels that the days are like years. This feeling cannot be described by the waiting time for online shopping for handbags. It feels like he knows that the goddess has parachuted into the air, but he still has to wait for the postal courier to deliver a condom to him. .
"I am an adult soul after all."
Ian doesn't know how to describe his mood, can't wait? Impatient? They all seem to mean the same thing.
In fact, this is the expectation of seeing a new world, the surprise of going from a real world to a magical world full of magic.
Let alone an adult soul, as long as you are a normal person, you can't help but want to explore the mysterious magic.
On this day.
Ian chose to miss work.
Although he is the owner of his own stall... Since he is an adult, he must make the decisions that an adult should have. Isn't it just a simple Diagon Alley?
Can this stump me?
Ian put his accumulated "huge money" in his pocket and began to rely on his meager memory of the original work to try to find the "Leaky Cauldron" in the huge London.
It is a bar that Muggles cannot see at all. Only wizards can see it. Through the bar, he can enter [Diagon Alley], which is the territory of wizards.
In the original book, this is how Harry Potter enters Diagon Alley.
So, Ian also wanted to try it.
But he only knew the name of the bar and had no idea where the real address was.
On the streets, crowds of people surged.
Ian disappeared into the crowd. He had already run for many blocks. However, looking at the shops on both sides of the street, he could not see the bar.
"Niutou Bar...Jenny's Restaurant, Tomorrow Hotel, KFC."
A dazzling array of shops.
None of them are what Ian is looking for. Just like platform nine and three-quarters in the original work.
Only wizards can see the Leaky Cauldron - logically, Ian can see it. He knows that he just didn't find the right place.
"Huh?"
In the process of searching, Ian suddenly realized that he seemed to be being followed - he suddenly became a little surprised and confused!
Human traffickers?
Isn’t organ trading popular these days?
Ian increased his pace and passed several corners in a row. He also took the opportunity to look behind him - it was a man wearing a black robe with no visible face.
Um.
It seems to make sense at once.
This costume doesn’t look like cosplay or anything.
The dark wizard abducts the little wizard. No one knows why. In short, it cannot be that he cannot have a child and wants to find a descendant to inherit the black magic.
“I’m being targeted!”
Ian's heart tightened.
He was a little panicked.
Fortunately, he saw the entrance of the subway station at this time, and he quickly ran towards the subway station - the man in black robe stood outside and did not follow.
The other party may not dare to use magic in crowded places.
After all.
Kidnapping the little wizard.
And provoke the Ministry of Magic's regulations.
The intensity of pursuit that the two may receive is absolutely different.
Absolutely equivalent to the difference between illegality and counter-terrorism?
My heart is racing.
Fortunately, Ian quickly got on the subway, and an hour later, he returned to Wu's Orphanage.
"It's really dangerous today! The magical world is indeed quite chaotic!"
In front of the square door of the orphanage with strange buildings, Ian's thin figure stood slowly and slowly. Xu walked into the orphanage, but he didn't notice two figures watching him in the dark.
Among them.
There is the man whom Ian regards as a "dark wizard".
Dumbledore's calm voice sounded softly next to the man in black robe.
"Are you a little too cautious in preventing him from contacting the magical world in advance?"
The man in black robe was silent.
Like a statue in the dark night. His thoughts drifted back to an hour ago, when he cast a mysterious spell on Ian to prevent Ian from seeing the Leaky Cauldron nearby. Yes, it turns out that Ian didn't find that place, but failed to see it due to the interference of magic.
"Diagon Alley is not a place for children to play house. There are many dark wizards active there. I don't want him to be as stupid as him..."
The man in black robe suddenly stopped mid-sentence, turned his head, and stared at Dumbledore with his deep eyes. After a long silence, a hoarse voice sounded.
"He belongs to Slytherin."
He did not continue to say too many words, but after leaving these words, the man in black robe instantly activated Apparition, leaving only A gentle breeze and a dissipating wave of magic.
"The Orphans of Wu..."
Dumbledore was left alone.
He continued to look at the mottled door of the orphanage quietly, staring at the dilapidated door number, as if he was lost in memories, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
"I hope I won't make another mistake this time."
Dumbledore let out a heavy sigh.
Turn around and merge into the night.
Just.
His back looked a little stooped as he left.
