Chapter 851 Passionate Friends

"If you think it's too little, you can report me..."

Looking at the smiling Kyle, Willy Tom's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Even though it was a warm August day, still in the room, he only felt a biting coldness.

This was his instinct warning him.

Some wizards always have some weird talents, such as being able to change their appearance at will, or being able to talk to magical animals. Willy Tom also has this talent. His perception of danger is keener than ordinary wizards. Much.

And this ability has saved his life many times.

Willy Tom did have the idea to reveal the news of Kyle's arrival to the Aurors. In this way, he could get rid of his own suspicion and get an objective bounty, so why not do it.

In fact, that's what he did.

Willy Tom had already planned. He would delay the price issue for a while, and then quickly complete the transaction when he felt that the time was almost up. It didn't matter even if he lost some money, as long as he could ensure that the person in front of him was killed by the Auror after leaving his shop. Just grab it.

By then, he had already received the money from selling the dragon eggs. Even if he was confessed, as long as he refused to admit it, and with the credit for reporting the information, the Auror would not embarrass him.

Not only that, if this person is caught, he can still get a bounty of one hundred galleons. Even if he escapes by chance, he can still get thirty galleons of clue fees, which is a guaranteed profit, and it can even be said that Win-win...well, he wins twice.

As for integrity...for a customer who has a high probability of not coming back to Diagon Alley, what's the use of this kind of thing? It's better to maximize the benefits.

But now, looking at the smiling Kyle and the constant coldness on his back, Willy Tom's brain covered with galleons finally moved a little.

He finally remembered that the person in front of him was not a harmless little sheep, but a dangerous person who could escape smoothly after killing five wizards.

Willy Tom thought that he was not afraid of Horliken, but their strength was only half as good. If this person could kill all the wizards, including Horliken, in a one-on-five situation, he would naturally be able to kill him easily.

Willy Tom's heart began to beat violently, especially Kyle who was playing with the wand. He was so nervous that his calves became weak.

His instinct told him that maybe the Aurors could catch this man later, but he would definitely be killed.

what to do!

Willy Tom was filled with regret... It was all Kyle's fault. His gentle, harmless appearance and lavish spending style made him subconsciously ignore the potential danger of the other party.

Fortunately, the other party was not aware of his true purpose and only thought that he wanted to increase the price. Now there is still a chance to turn around.

Willy Tom took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"How could it be too little? Didn't we agree?" He put the dragon egg on the table simply, "It's yours now."

"oh?"

Kyle raised his eyebrows, "The Auror shouldn't be here so soon. Why don't you delay for a while?"

"You, what are you talking about, I don't understand." Willy Tom's heart began to beat wildly, "What Aurors, why did they come to Diagon Alley... But you'd better be careful, behind Horliken The big shot doesn’t seem to want to let you go.”

"Really?" Kyle took two steps forward, came to the painting that served as a safe, and reached out to touch the frame. "Then can you tell me where the people on this have gone?"

"He might...well, go to another frame." Perhaps because Kyle's back was turned to him, Willy Tom saw the opportunity, and he carefully put his hand into his pocket.

"You're leaving so many valuable things for a visit?" Kyle said with some humor.

He took a look and saw that in the grid behind the portrait, there was a golden crown and a gem as big as an egg, all of which were valuable.

There was an outsider like me in the house. Under such circumstances, the portrait that served as the door lock actually went to another place?

Even Neville wouldn't be able to believe such a poor excuse.

Combined with what he said before, Kyle was already sure that the portrait was going to send a message, and it was estimated that the Aurors would soon surround the place.

Thinking about it, with five wizards dead, this turmoil obviously cannot end in a short time.

I just don't know how much bounty the Ministry of Magic has offered to allow this boss to take such a big risk to report him.

"Collapse!"

There was a sharp shout from behind.

Kyle didn't seem to react, and didn't even look back.

"Successful!" Willy Tom felt ecstatic in his heart.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. From this distance, it was impossible for this man to counterattack with his wand.

Maybe he was overthinking, how could such a slow-responsive person kill Horliken and his men? It must have been other wizards who did it, and then put the blame on this rich wizard.

But so what, the Ministry of Magic has identified him as the culprit.

After he is knocked unconscious by the stun spell, he can take away all the money and goods he bought, and then hand him over to the Auror who came and exchange him for a generous bounty. Nothing goes to waste.

Such a rich wizard, how much can he earn this time? A thousand galleons? Two thousand galleons...or more.

Willy Tom's eyes were full of greed.

However, the next second, this greed was replaced by panic.

His stun spell was blocked by a silver shield that suddenly appeared less than an inch away from Kyle.

The shield was very small, only as big as a hand, but such a large shield blocked Willy Tom's inevitable blow. He didn't even see clearly when the other party recited the curse.

But now he didn't care so much. The rebounded stun spell instantly returned the way it came. Willy Tom just wanted to dodge, but found that his hand holding the wand was being held tightly by something, and he couldn't move no matter what.

It was a slender vine with several round orange fruits on it.

Sour exploding pods.

A name appeared in his mind, and then he knew nothing.

The stun spell hit him right in the head, and Willy Tom lay on the ground with a thud without even saying a word.

Solved, that’s it?

Kyle was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the matter to be solved so easily. He originally thought that the wizard who could get the dragon eggs should have two brushes, but his plan ended just after it started?

The Bowtruckle that ran out from nowhere was also confused. It looked at Willy Tom lying on the ground and then at Kyle, as if asking what to do next.

"Forget it, call Niffler and move things." Kyle thought for a while and said, "Remember to search carefully."

Bowtruckle nodded, jumped on the unconscious Willie Tom, and skillfully pulled the ring off his hand.

Three minutes later.

A group of wizards in black robes walked quickly down the streets of Diagon Alley.

"Auror, you guys are finally here." Boss Tom stood at the door, as if he had seen a savior.

Yes, Boss Tom... But if you look carefully, you will find a hint of amusement in his eyes. It is the unique look of a Lezi man and does not belong to a greedy shop owner.

It's a pity that the Auror who came didn't notice this.

"Stop talking nonsense, where are we?" the leading Auror asked coldly.

"Inside." Tom opened the door, and the Aurors immediately saw someone lying on the ground. From his clothes to his appearance, he was exactly the same as the information they had.

Yes, this is the wizard who squandered money in Diagon Alley a month ago and killed Horlickon's group.

But why is such a dangerous person lying on the ground? Shouldn't it be the boss lying on the ground?

The leading Auror turned his head subconsciously.

"That's right." Tom said with lingering fear: "He wanted to sneak attack me, but I noticed it."

"Do you have this ability?" Auror raised his eyebrows, his tone full of suspicion and contempt.

If such a dangerous dark wizard could be solved so easily by a shop owner, then their efforts over the past few days would be nothing.

"Of course I don't have this kind of strength." Tom said with a flattering smile: "But I'm lucky. After Horlicken's accident happened a few days ago, I haven't been at ease. I spent a lot of money to get a magic ring... this is it. ”

He stretched out his hand and showed a sapphire ring on his hand. "It can automatically trigger the Iron Armor Curse once. The opponent thought that his spell would definitely hit, so he was unprepared and was knocked unconscious by the Stunning Curse that bounced back... To be honest, I was scared to death just now.

"It's a pity that my magic ring, I spent a lot of money to get it, has been scrapped in the past few days."

After saying that, Boss Tom sighed.

"You should feel lucky." Auror glanced at him, "If it were you lying on the ground, you might be dead now."

After noticing that this was a magic items store, he no longer doubted Tom's words.

The owner of a shop like this, whether he is selling goods or for self-defense, has something that is more or less valuable. Although an iron armor charm ring is rare, it is not impossible to get it if you are willing to spend money.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of this kind of thing is that it is highly concealed and can release magic without using magic spells or wands. If you don't check it for a while, even an experienced Auror like him may fall victim to it.

"Yes, you are right." Boss Tom nodded repeatedly.

While talking, other Aurors also brought people out. After confirming that the target was still alive, they prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait a minute..." Boss Tom stopped him.

"What else?"

"It's that...well, the bounty issue. As you know, in order to catch this person, I accompanied him with a precious magic ring, and now I'm counting on the bounty to repay him."

"We are only responsible for arresting people. You can go to the Ministry of Magic to get the bounty later." After the Auror finished speaking, he was about to leave, but the annoying boss actually stood in front of him again.

"etc."

"If you keep nagging, I'll take you away too," the Auror said impatiently.

"You misunderstood." Tom said with a sneer: "I mean, I have to take care of the shop, and I really can't spare the time to go to the Ministry of Magic. How about this? You can just give me half, and reward the remaining half." Jin, just think I’m going to invite you all to have a drink at the Leaky Cauldron.”

"oh?"

The Auror's eyes flickered, and he turned sideways, blocking the sight of other Aurors intentionally or unintentionally, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure, that's fifty Galleons."

"It's a lie to say that you can't bear to part with me." Boss Tom smiled slightly, "I'm grateful that you came to rescue me so quickly. Fifty Galleons is just like making a friend, and if that person has any accomplices, I will act as a whistleblower. It’s also very dangerous, and I’ll have to trouble you when the time comes.”

"You can rest assured that we Aurors will never let such a dangerous guy go unpunished." The Auror also smiled. He turned to the others and said: "You guys, take this person back, I have something else to do." Making sure."

Although this behavior was not in compliance with the regulations, when the superior spoke, they had no choice but to take the people away and had nothing to say.

Afterwards, the Auror who stayed behind went to Gringotts not far away, and when he came out again, he had an extra bag in his hand.

He handed the bag to Boss Tom. Neither of them spoke, but they reached some kind of agreement with a twinkling look in their eyes.

After all the Aurors left, Diagon Alley gradually returned to its previous bustle. The freshmen continued to buy various items needed for the start of school, and no one cared about the store that had closed its doors again.

The owner of that shop seemed to have something urgent. After closing the door, he went straight to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

It's impossible to run away. The person who asked them to take away was a fake.

Aurors may not care about Willy Tom, but if their Galleons are at stake, they will definitely take it more seriously than anyone else.

If it were any later, I might not be able to escape.

…

Sure enough, not long after, the Aurors who had just left for a short time turned back again. Their movements this time were even faster than before. No matter who was in the way, they would be pushed away ruthlessly.

Passers-by who didn't know why looked at the scene curiously and whispered about what happened.

The leading Auror came to the closed shop, took out his wand without any explanation, and blew the door open.

There was a loud bang, startling everyone.

But looking at the scene in the shop, the leading Auror's face turned green and red.

Because the inside was completely emptied, there was not even a piece of parchment left behind when it was full of goods before.

"You guys are a bunch of trash." Flames seemed to appear above his head, and he roared: "No one noticed that the prisoner had been cast under the Transformation Curse. Is this how you become Aurors? Trash!"

You obviously didn't notice it, so why put the blame on them... Everyone was thinking in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything.

"Go and find it for me!" the leading Auror shouted angrily: "Even if you dig up the ground, you have to find that **** liar for me. I will lock him up with the dementors forever!"

The Aurors dispersed quickly.

But they are destined to be disappointed.

Because at this time, the 'Boss Tom' they were looking for had already used the portkey and arrived in Romania, thousands of miles away.

Dumbledore looked at the sudden appearance of the stranger and immediately became nervous.

"Who are you!" He took out his wand and pointed it at the person.

"Don't be nervous, Professor, it's me."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment. There was only one person who would call him professor at this time.

"Kyle?"

"It's me," Kyle said.

"Well...it should be almost done."

As soon as 'Boss Tom' finished speaking, his body also changed. His belly disappeared and short black hair grew on his head.

"Kyle," Dumbledore said even more confused, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, the little problem has been solved." Kyle, who returned to his original appearance, said with a smile: "I can't help it, someone is too enthusiastic and insists on giving me a large sum of galleons. I really can't shirk it. "

Insist on sending galleons?

Dumbledore didn't believe a word of what Kyle said.

He has gained some fame in the past few years and has made countless friends. Why doesn't anyone give him galleons?

He was sure that Kyle was hiding something from him.

And the way he looked just now, he probably drank Polyjuice Potion, but what happened to make Kyle pretend to be someone else.

Dumbledore was very curious, but Kyle's words made him give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

"Professor, it's time for us to go back. You can't wait to see Ariana."

"Okay." Dumbledore came over immediately.

Whatever Kyle did, it wasn't as important as seeing Ariana again.

Kyle took out the golden pocket watch and pulled out a long golden chain from the top.

The chain was long, just enough to hold him and Dumbledore together.

Then Kyle started to move the pointer, and the magic stone emitted a burst of red light, covering the pointer.

Compared to when we came here, this red light seemed much dimmer, but there should be no problem in taking the two of them back.

Hmm...it should be no problem.

"This is it." After Kyle moved the pointer to the correct position, he let go.

The red light on the Time Turner began to spread, rapidly extending from one end of the chain to the other end, and Dumbledore and Kyle were also enveloped in red light.

The figures of the two people began to slowly fade, and soon completely disappeared from the place.
