He truly hadn't expected that this boy would know about Aurors.
This once again proves the other party's extraordinary abilities; their every move was under their surveillance.
He was genuinely afraid that the other party would think he was deliberately avoiding mentioning the Auror.
Levin pursed his lips, finding it somewhat amusing; this burly man was genuinely terrified of him.
He maintained his indifferent expression: "Shut up, just tell me, what happened to that Auror!"
"Yes!"
Ted immediately stopped crying and began to speak shakily about the Auror: "We...we accidentally encountered her...that disguised Magus before we came in. She was trying to disguise herself as a villager from the neighborhood, and we found her. We captured her, but we didn't do anything to her because our boss was in a hurry to explore the ruins, so we just tied her up and locked her in a separate room."
At this point, the wizard swallowed hard and continued, "That... Auror is very young, he's said to have just graduated this year, and he has very noticeable pink hair."
Levin nodded after hearing this; he had already guessed who this Auror was.
"One last question: Does any of you have any griffin-related items on you?"
The wizard was silent for a moment, then quickly answered when Levin was about to lose his patience: "Yes, yes, our Piccolo has a pendant made of a griffin's beak. He always wears it around his neck and often shows it off to us. He says it was passed down in his family and represents the glorious past of the Curtis family."
Does their glorious past prove they once poached a griffin? Sure enough, this is something a poacher family would do.
Levin nodded; now the goal of this trip was clear.
As someone said, since the treasure is in your hands,
Then you have already found a way to die.
Chapter 44 Double Kill
After asking the last question, Levin fell silent.
The wizard named Ted looked at him pitifully, as if pleading for his forgiveness with his eyes.
Both sides knew that after the questions were asked, it was time to decide his fate.
Levin glanced at the wizard's pale face, took a deep breath, and pointed his wand at him.
In an instant, the frost spread even faster on his body, covering his entire body before he could even cry out.
“I know all the heinous things you poachers have done. Whether it’s wizards, Muggles, or magical creatures, anything that can make money is your target. So don’t blame me, you deserve it.”
Levin muttered to himself in a cold voice,
It is a cold judgment, and also an excuse for one's own conscience.
"Ice won't kill you outright. If you're lucky, you might be able to hold out until I get back. At that time, that Auror should spare your life."
Levin did not choose to kill, not only because he could not overcome his own psychological barrier.
He's been through two lifetimes, what is there that he can't accept?
He did this mainly because of the captured Auror.
According to the wizard's testimony, after the Auror was captured, they simply took his wand and hastily tied him up.
They were not subjected to torture or abuse.
This means that as long as he can rescue her, he will immediately gain a combatant.
Levin knew very well that he alone might not be able to clear out the remaining eight poachers from the ruins.
To obtain the Griffin Beak Pendant and the Scholar's Moonstone, one might need the Auror's help.
Normal Aurors would not like a little wizard who can kill people at will.
Levin didn't kill the warlock, but simply froze him, just to make a good first impression on potential teammates.
If that Auror is indeed the person I guessed.
After this incident, they will have more opportunities to get to know each other in the future, so they can't let this first impression ruin things.
After dealing with the sorcerer named Ted, Levin cast Invisibility on himself again and returned to the passageway, heading back to the room where he had been drinking.
Then he bumped into a blond, hook-nosed, drunken man carrying a wine glass as he walked out.
As he walked, he shouted and yelled in his heavy accent:
"Ted, Ted! Where are you? If you've got the guts, go pee and keep drinking!"
"Could it be that he's trying to pee to avoid drinking with me?!"
Levin was invisible, completely undetectable to the naked eye.
Furthermore, the alcohol impaired the other person's senses, so much so that even when the blond wizard was right in front of Levin, less than twenty centimeters apart, he didn't notice anyone in front of him.
Seeing how weak this guy was, Levin immediately felt relieved.
This time, he didn't even use magic. He simply stepped forward, snatched the other man's wand, and kicked him to the ground.
Only after that did he leisurely use the freezing ray to seal the opponent's hands and feet.
The sudden chill finally made the drunkard named Darcy realize what had happened.
He looked at the boy in front of him in a panic, stammering and unable to say a word.
Levin remained expressionless, looking down at his opponent, his youthful voice carrying a chilling undertone:
"You're right, your companion who went to the toilet is now in my hands. Through interrogation, I've obtained a lot of information from him."
"Now, let's play a question-and-answer game. If your answer is different from your partner's, one of you will regret being born."
The blond wizard stared at Levin, who looked like a child, his eyes filled with fear.
Where did this little devil come from? He's just a child, yet he utters devilish words.
Next, Levin repeated the question he had asked the wizard Ted earlier. The blond wizard, not daring to hide anything, blurted out all the information he knew.
Overall, it is largely the same as the previous confession.
“You are very clever, Darcy, you are not lying.”
Levin gave a satisfied, cold smile, which sent another chill down the other person's spine.
"In that case, sir, could you please spare us?"
Darcy, somewhat naively, pleaded, hoping that this little devil would be momentarily confused.
But he underestimated Levin's mind.
He shook his head and cast Frost Nova on the other party again.
Before long, the wizard, like his companions, was covered in frost.
Levin didn't forget to take advantage of him.
Including his companions, Levin found nearly a hundred Galleons in total.
Indeed, murder and arson bring wealth and power.
The best part is that Levin got his hands on a dragonskin wallet that had been enchanted with a Spatial Extension Charm.
It was the one that the blond wizard had been keeping hidden away.
The wallet has little internal space, about one cubic meter, and can only be used to store luggage.
That's normal; not every container can be like Newt Scamander's suitcase, which can hold an entire zoo.
Next, Levin didn't rush to find the captured Auror, but instead searched the room thoroughly.
Sure enough, the room these two were guarding was the poachers' temporary campsite, and also where they kept their luggage.
Here, Levin looted even more valuables, including several Fire Gray Snake eggs, a bundle of Silent Bird feathers, and a series of other materials, which he stuffed into his new wallet.
With these gains, Levin once again went invisible and, following the testimony of the two wizards, continued deeper into the ruins.
After passing through two shattered stone doors, Levin arrived at a new rotunda.
Instead of continuing forward, he chose to open the side door.
Behind the decaying side door was a dark and narrow room.
There were no torches lit here, and it was pitch black.
Levin flicked his wand slightly: "[Dancing Light]"
A faint sliver of light shot from the tip of the staff, heading deeper into the room.
Levin himself remained by the door, hidden in the darkness.
In this way, as soon as the light spot is near the enemy, he can see the enemy immediately.
But those who are illuminated cannot see him in the darkness.
Fortunately, the two wizards' information was still correct.
There are no enemies in this room.
At the far end of the room, the light from the Dance of Light spell only illuminated a guy who was bound like a dumpling, staring in astonishment at the light before him.
She was a rather young girl, around twenty years old, with a beautiful heart-shaped face, a pair of black eyes that sparkled under the light of the dance spell, and most striking of all were her long, flowing pink hair, which made this girl stand out from the crowd.
She is the only Magus in the original story who can disguise herself, a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Remus Lupin's lover, Nymphadora Tonks.
In fact, Levin had already guessed her identity during the interrogation.
After all, her features are so distinctive.
But seeing her in person now, Levin was still pleasantly surprised.
This girl is much prettier than she is in the movie—the character in the movie is quite different; at least the original book doesn't say that Tonks has a big nose.
The Tonks before him undoubtedly perfectly matched his aesthetic.
----------------
There are discrepancies between the characters in the Harry Potter novels and the movies, so my character descriptions here will not be entirely based on the movies.
For example, Zhang Qiu in the novel is a beauty, and I'll use Zhao Ling'er when she was young as the standard—I suddenly remembered that in a certain American entertainment novel, the protagonist invested in Aunt Rowling in advance, and then had Zhao Ling'er play Zhang Qiu.
For example, Tonks, according to my idea, could be a short-haired version of Seraphine—definitely not like the movie, the big nose is too ugly.
The picture shows Salafine.
