HPMRS CH 176: shadow of darkness

After listening to Hermione's question, Ryan realized that hairy crabs are not so common in the UK. So he decided to give Hermione a good look.

"This is a kind of freshwater crabs. They are a very valuable food ingredient. In the past, when the wealthy businessmen and nobles of Imperial China ate them, they used its remains to make tableware by adding gold and silver to it."

"Oh, that means it's just an ordinary crab for food, right?" Hermione said straightforwardly.

Ryan felt a heart-sinking feeling spread throughout his body and quickly said: "But the average freshwater crab is only the size of a human hand, and now such a large crab has evolved into a kind of beast called the river crab. In the legend, this kind of beast can destroy the world, and it can also create the world, huh..."

Ryan's rhetoric seemed narcissistic self-defense to Hermione, she quickly ran to the side to continue practicing her Patronus Charm.

Ryan was a little bored at this time, so he sat on the floor and started to think about the possibilities of what the enemy was going to do that the shopkeeper in Mahogany Town had told him about. Unfortunately, he had too little intelligence now to deduce anything.

While Ryan and Hermione were practicing the Patronus Charm, in a forest more than a hundred kilometers away from them, a black figure quickly shuttled through the forest.

After coming under a huge banyan tree, the black shadow knocked on a scar on the banyan tree at a certain rhythm, and soon a black hole portal appeared on another small banyan tree next to him, and he immediately left. Going in, the door was closed, and the original tree trunk was restored.

After walking along a dark and rocky tunnel for about two minutes, a shadow came to a lower inner building, a wizard dressed in a brown robe saw him and asked: "Pedro, you patrolled the area along the way, Have you noticed something wrong?"

It turned out that this dark shadow was a wizard named Pedro, but now he is wearing a black robe, most of his face is covered by a mask made of bark, only his eyes and mouth are exposed. He glanced at the brown-robed wizard sitting behind the counter and then replied: "Old Jose, you can study your potions quietly. You can't take care of things outside. You really want to know. If you do, you can ask the boss directly."

After hearing these words, Jose was very dissatisfied and said: "Pedro, you need to be respectful of seniors, otherwise I don't know when the medicines you want will be made."

Obviously, this threat is effective. Pedro hurriedly turned his head and said: "Of course, this is not a secret. If you want to know, I can tell you. I went out this time and I didn't find anything wrong, but the higher-ups ordered me to pay more attention. What I saw was that occasionally a team of Auroras will come to patrol at that point."

"Aurora? It seems that those guys have good noses. But this is also within the scope of the plan, and nothing differs from what the boss planned."

"The boss's plan? Why don't I know? Can you tell me something?" Pedro asked cautiously. After all, he felt that things are getting more and more tense recently, and the higher-ups asked him to go out on patrols every day without telling him why. This made him feel a strong sense of crisis, so he wants to find out what was going to happen?

"It's not my job to take care of this outside matter." Jose glanced at Pedro. "Furthermore, you newcomers should not know the inside news. I can only say that after this obstacle is over, We might be able to live under the sun in a fair and honest manner."

"Huh, live an upright life," Pedro muttered as he walked to his residence. He is indeed a dark wizard now, but he never recognised this name: he feels that he has done nothing wrong, and obviously only used some magic to survive, so he is said to be a dark wizard for whatever reason. Naturally in this organization, most of the low-level clerks are people like him.

One year ago, Pedro was still a student who had just graduated from Castelobruxo. It's just that he was a Muggle-born student who was relatively mediocre in his studies, and soon encountered the embarrassment of being unemployed just after graduation. But the problem is that he won't be able to go back to the Muggle world.

On one hand, in Muggle World, he only has an elementary school diploma, and there is no way he'd go back home and stay there as a jobless person with seven other siblings. On the other hand, after seeing the magic of the magical world, he could no longer integrate into the world of Muggles. Just like Peter, even if he has lived like a rat for more than ten years, he is unwilling to live away from the wizarding world.

In this case, Pedro can only watch with envy and jealousy the wizards of pure-blooded families who were inferior to him in the school in the magical world doing well, and he can only do his best to survive here.

Six months ago he went to a Muggle villa that had been closed shut for a while with a person he has met in his later school years to help in dealing with a hostage situation, he opened the door with magic, but what happened afterward shocked him.

He found himself standing among three corpses with a handful of gold and silver jewelry in his hands. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: I was wronged, I can't be punished by those shit wizarding methods.

After having this kind of enlightenment, Pedro ran away frantically from the villa. Fortunately, this is the world of Muggles, and the wizards are not paying enough attention to it to notice him. The first to come is the incident reversal team. That's why he was able to smoothly knock down the opponent and ran out. If this were in the wizarding world, surely the Auror would be there first, so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

It's just that since then he has also been on the Wanted List. Fortunately, due to the wizard's ignorance of Muggles, the amount of bounty on him is not large, and few bounty hunters will specifically aim for him.

But this also means that he is no longer a normal wizard. The wizarding world's work, social, and even foothold are no longer open to him. Not to mention that Aurors will look for him from time to time to kill him.

But in the end, he was saved by the leader of this organization. Since then, he has lived here in secret.

Although he is not free to travel, after completing the daily tasks, he can look at the latest "Star Times" or study the magic book here. He can even go to Mahogany Town in a group while under the effect of the polyjuice potion. But at this time, Pedro looked at the little wizards purchasing in Mahogany Town with a hateful eye. After learning that the objectives of the organization were related to his alma mater, he volunteered to undertake the patrol.

He doesn't care why there are foreigners in his school. The only thing he cares about now is his freedom, freedom to live under the sun without being hunted, and maybe equality of opportunity.

Thinking of this, Pedro changed clothes, layed on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
