Chapter 117 [Predict the enemy plane first (blue)] [Celebrity (green)]

The Daily Prophet, the largest-selling newspaper in the British wizarding world, has a large photo that takes up half of the page on the front page. It's the kind that moves.

On the left is the burly and terrifying bugbear, with several goblins showing up behind him, and two murlocs lying on the ground.

On the right are Mr. Weasley and several wizards leading the way, followed by Ted and the others.

It turned out that it was the photographer who took the picture of Lockhart. He did not run away after the incident, but hid to take pictures and capture material.

Not to mention, he is quite professional, and the angle and composition of the shot are very good.

It's a pity that it's in black and white. If it were in color, it would give him a prize.

It's the 1990s, and they still use black and white photos. You can tell how backward the magical world is!

The entire emergency special issue is talking about the monster attack on Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley in the morning.

It is said that the monster appeared from Knockturn Alley, and it was initially determined that it was caused by a dark wizard smuggling magical creatures, and the Aurors are now tracking it down.

All escaped monsters have been cleared.

In the entire incident, there were seven casualties, four were killed, including a goblin, and three were injured.

The one who was most seriously injured had two broken legs and almost died.

The least serious injury was a smashed head, and it only took ten minutes to get to the hospital.

In addition, two of the most prosperous magical commercial streets in the UK were damaged, and many shops suffered losses of varying sizes.

The biggest loss was in the Bojinbok store. A monster took advantage of the chaos and lit a fire. Fortunately, the loss was not big. After all, the magic protection in the store was still very dense. But it was inevitable that it would be burnt to a smoky blackness.

.

This is really a big deal!

Although in the magic world, there are wizards who seek death all the time, and then die. For example, the spell is out of control, or something like that.

From then on, it became a joke among wizards that could be told for several years.

But it was quite shocking to see three wizards and one goblin die all at once.

This is also one ten thousandth of the population of the wizarding world of Great Britain!

Although it has only been a few hours, newspapers are already talking about this matter like crazy.

A large group of people criticized the Ministry of Magic, saying that they were freeloaders and took taxpayers' money to do nothing.

There are also radical pure-blood wizards who call for strict supervision of visitors from other worlds.

There are also those who say that the murderer should be severely punished and the black industry in Knockturn Alley should be cleaned up.

Of course, a few people said that it was thanks to Weasley and his group...

You may think that the magical world is usually calm and there is no big movement, but Ted's salted fish net can attract twenty or thirty people to drink tea and eat melon seeds every day to watch the fun.

This suddenly caused such a big deal, the bamboo shoots exploded!

Since Voldemort was defeated, there has been no incident in Diagon Alley for more than ten years. Now it is attacked by a group of monsters?!

Ted read it from cover to cover, from newspaper reports to statements from Ministry of Magic officials to the opinions of wizards who were invited to comment or who wrote directly.

Very good, I just mentioned my name once and received a few words of praise from everyone.

Although there are two lines saying that Ted's "modified special freezing spell works very well", there is no more.

This is very good, so that the tree will not attract the wind.

Ted felt that his decision was indeed the right one.

I sent Hermione home in the afternoon, and Jerry also went home.

School is about to start, and Xianyu.com is supposed to be temporarily closed in the last few days. What's more, if something like this happens, there will be no one in Diagon Alley.

The Leaky Cauldron is also very deserted. How can anyone come to drink?

Old Tom is not angry about this. He has lived for decades and has never seen any storms. They are all temporary.

Ted returned to his room, and Ted fell on the bed.

"Good job Parker." He praised the psychic crystal servant Parker. He was able to freeze the bugbears at that time, thanks to Parker's assistance.

"My pleasure~" Parker jumped up and down on the table excitedly.

"And Ansu, this fire is a relief. Fire and water are ruthless. I hope Mr. Bojin Bock will pay more attention to it in the future."

Ted took out some beef jerky to lure Ansu away, because Ansu wanted to take a few bites when he saw Parker's proud movements. Ravens are very interested in shiny things.

Ted lay on the bed and began to observe the two newly acquired cards.

[Inform the enemy plane first (blue)]

spell card

Psychic energy will be particularly active within 10 minutes after use, and you can respond in advance to sneak attacks and accidents with a high probability.

Cooling time is 6 hours.

This card is a bit interesting. It’s actually a card about psychic powers. It’s very rare!

Ted tried using it for a while, then closed his eyes, picked up an apple and threw it above his head... when the apple fell to his head, he suddenly dodged, dodged without vision, and reached out to catch the apple.

“This feels quite amazing!”

Ted was very happy, not only because this card was very effective, but also because he could simulate this psychic card to develop similar psychic powers.

Then you won’t be restricted by cards~

Second card:

【Celebrity(Green)】

spell card

Use: +2 Charisma, lasts 30 minutes.

Cool for 12 hours.

Note: Being noticed wherever you go, life in the spotlight is not that easy~

"Am I considered a celebrity in the last newspaper?" Ted found it a bit funny.

In fact, he was really wrong on this point.

After all, when Ted traveled back in time, it was already the Internet age. Newspapers were extinct, so no one read them, and their influence was very low.

In today's world, newspapers still have a certain influence. Although a large part of them have been taken away by television and radio stations, many people still read them. The British are famous for their love of reading newspapers.

In the wizarding world, there are only print media. Mainstream newspapers such as the Daily Prophet, almost every household must subscribe to a copy.

The magical world has a small population and cannot support many newspapers, so there is only one dominant one.

Many wizards live scattered across the country. If you want to know the changes and information in the magical world at the first time, you can't do without the "Daily Prophet".

Therefore, Ted and his friends' names are actually known by 89% of wizards in Great Britain. Although not all of them can remember them, it is still remarkable.

…

A few days after "Monster Attack," Diagon Alley was under martial law.

Ted saw four or five wizards in Diagon Alley with serious expressions, alert eyes, and hands ready to pull out their wands at any time.

These are the violent departments of the Ministry of Magic - Strikers and Aurors.

Strikers are roughly equivalent to civilian police, and Aurors are equivalent to military police.

Most of these people are at level 7 to 9, which is higher than ordinary wizards.

Some of the elites even have level 11 or 12. These are elite Aurors.

Mainly, Aurors and strikers have special training and can learn a lot of attack and defense magic.

Now the Ministry of Magic has been slapped in the face, so it has sent people to patrol the streets.

During this period, Knockturn Alley was heavily targeted by a special campaign to crack down on crime. Many gray area wizards who were working in Knockturn Alley were arrested. However, the charges generally only amounted to staying in Azkaban for a few months or two.

That kind of year.

Ted couldn't let go of this good opportunity and secretly controlled Parker to make many disguise marks at the entrance of Bojin Bock's store, causing Bojin Bock's store to be closed down.

Although it won't take long for their family's relationship and connections to recover, it will definitely be very troublesome at this time.

Alas~ It’s very comfortable!

But Ted didn't pay much attention to things in Diagon Alley, because school was about to start.

I have to pack my things quickly, especially to free up the basement.

After more than two months, this place will become a laboratory. Many things have to be disposed of and traces have to be restored.

The waste from some alchemical experiments and potion brewing must be properly disposed of.
