HOGWARTS:I REALLY NOT DARK LORD

A message, selling a light wheel for 2000.

Tom took out the money without hesitation.

Strength is the most important thing, money is nothing.

The smile on Bock's face grew brighter, and he quickly put the Galleon away.

If such a generous client were replaced by someone else with no background and no strength, Bock would have already thought of robbing his fellow criminals.

But until now he still hadn't figured out Michael's background, and the purebloods he knew didn't match the style of the man in front of him.

It's like a wizard popping out from between a rock, or... coming from another country.

But at least until he is completely sure of what he has done, he will just be a businessman who charges a high price but is absolutely honest.

"Sir, you should know what happened in the north, right?" Bock did not rush to tell the information, but asked back.

Tom nodded. "There are more Ministries of Magic being established these days than in decades past."

He subscribed to the international edition of the Daily Prophet, and the Ministry of Magic's founding announcement alone took up several pages every day.

Bock lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Because of the change in regime, management problems have arisen in many places. For example... in the dragon farm in Romania, two fire dragons escaped from there. Both of them were tree peaks, the most ferocious kind."

Tom's breathing quickened slightly. "What's the matter?"

Bock rolled his eyes and said, "This guest is really funny. The dead didn't run away, they were carried out.

"Where?" Tom asked directly, not wanting to waste any more time talking to him.

This is absolutely the best news. As long as the fire dragon is found, not only can "Jiuqisan" get the materials, but he will also have the opportunity to complete the trial.

"One of them is missing, and the other is in the Vosges."

Tom frowned and thought, and soon figured out where he was talking about: "The border between France and Germany?"

"That's right." Bock nodded and said, "It's been very chaotic there recently. Some exiled wizards from the north and hyenas that came here to smell the scent have gathered there. Now there are a lot of poachers too."

"How many people did you sell this news to?" Tom asked again.

Bock looked at him with pretended dissatisfaction: "Would Old Bock do such a thing? Two days ago, when I received the message, the first person I thought of was you, and I never told anyone else. However...if you don't reply to me within five days, then I will have to find another buyer."

"I can guarantee that no more than five wizards in the whole of Britain know about this, and none of them have any idea about dragons."

Tom heard the hidden meaning, "But other countries can't guarantee it?"

Bock shrugged: "There is no such thing as a secret. Besides, we all got it this way, so naturally others can too.

"If customers have ideas for fire dragons, we will quickly raise people to do the animation."

"They are always ready."

Tom said this and strode out of the store.

Borgin and Burke rubbed their chins. "It seems that he is not the Lone Ranger... This is really more interesting.

Tom quickly bought a plane ticket to Lorraine, France using Michael's identity.

In fact, a visa is still required to travel from the UK to France, but with the existence of the Confusion Spell, Tom saved a lot of trouble and arrived at his destination, Epinal, that evening.

Speaking of the Vosges Mountains and the Vosges Forest, many people may be confused.

But the German part of this forest across the Rhine is the famous Black Forest.

The population nearby is sparse, with less than one million people in the entire province, but there are quite a few wizards and magical animals, and there are a large number of magical animal populations in the forest.

Tom rested in the city for a night and waited until tomorrow to look for the wizard gathering place in the forest.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to use my wand here?"

While studying in the study room at night, Tom looked at Grindelwald suspiciously.

"If you calculate the straight-line distance, the distance from here to London is about the same as the distance from London to Hogwarts. Will the tracking thread become ineffective?"

Grindelwald smiled and said, "Thread is just a British tracking method. It will be ineffective outside the borders."

"No country wants the Ministry of Magic of other countries to extend its hands to their territory. Just use it with confidence."

"Once you are proficient in the Confusion Spell, you won't have to go through so much trouble in the future."

Grindelwald gave Tom a way to use his magic to cast spells outside of school, which was to use the Confusion Charm to make the traces on the wand mistakenly believe that the owner of the wand was over 17 years old, and the surveillance would naturally be lifted.

Unfortunately, Tom has only learned how to use the Confusion Spell and has not yet mastered it to a very high level. Therefore, he will not be able to use it during this holiday.

The next day, Tom found the division gathering place in the Vosges Mountains based on the secret code between the troops.

The Vosges Mountains have a special status in France.

They are rich in resources, with magical animals, herbs, and rare metal mines.

In addition, there are fairy tribes, dwarf tribes, and veela tribes in the mountains, which attracted many wizards to come and pan for gold, and gradually formed a stronghold.

The center of the stronghold is a huge square. All the buildings are within two kilometers of the square. Almost every few houses is a tavern or hotel, and there are quite a few people inside.

Tom randomly picked a hotel that looked clean and checked in, then went to the busiest bar in the area and started asking for news.

As for how to find out, it's still the same old trick: fishing.

He generously ordered a bunch of the most expensive drinks and food in the store, then pretended to be drunk and left the pub. Immediately, four people followed him secretly, two of them were in a group, and the other two were lone rangers.

Tom didn't let any of them go. He caught them all, gave each of them a sip of truth serum, and then began to torture them.

Apart from what was introduced in the books, he knew nothing about the Vosges Mountains. Even the map was just bought, so Tom first asked a lot of basic common sense questions, and then began to inquire about the news of the fire dragon.

The news of the fire dragon had spread, and even they, a group of low-level Liu merchants, had heard that a fire dragon had come to the Vosges Mountains.

However, not many people are interested in the fire dragon.

One reason is that this fire dragon is registered and belongs to a dragon farm in Romania, which is under the jurisdiction of magic departments of multiple countries. Ordinary wizards dare not cause such a big trouble.

The second reason is that he cannot defeat the fire dragon. The fire dragon is too dangerous and can easily cause death. So even though he is jealous of the body full of treasures, he does not want to lose his life for it.

This is just the idea of most wizards. In the past few days, professional poachers have appeared in groups. The information of these four people alone is enough to gather seven teams.

.

So, Tom has quite a few competitors.

However, the Vosges Mountains are so large that it is not easy to find a fire dragon that can fly all over the sky.

Tom achieved his goal, and without caring about the four people, he returned to the hotel and entered the study space to learn academic strategies.

There are two experienced guys here, and you would be a fool not to take advantage of them.

"School will start in about ten days. I must find the fire dragon as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to find an excuse to ask for leave."

Andros didn't care whether Tom asked for leave or not, and he seriously helped him think of a solution.

Grindelwald frowned.

If you take a leave, won't I be able to see Dumbledore later?

He quickly thought of a black magic that was very suitable for the current situation: "The bloody tracking spell can be used to find the place where the smell of blood is the strongest. Fire dragons eat a lot, so there must be a lot of food residue in their nests."

Tom blinked: "Teach me.

In one night, Tom had mastered the spell completely.

The sensing range was very large, about five kilometers. With his increasingly skilled Apparition skills, Tom began to search for the traces of the fire dragon in ten circles, centered on the base.

Soon, another two days passed.

The bad news is that Tom got nothing. The good news is that there was no news of the fire dragon being discovered, so no one succeeded.

The most urgent person now is not Tom, but Grindelwald. If we delay any further, he will really need to take leave.

On the third day, Tom met a group of people.

No, to be precise, it's a group of people and a group of...Veela?

More than a dozen human wizards were hunting down eight Veela. At this moment, the Veela were no longer the charming ones, but had turned into bird-like beings with hideous faces and red hair.

The flying Veelas kept throwing fireballs at the wizards, seemingly occupying the air advantage, but the wizards were very smart. Several wizards jointly released the Armor Spell to stop all the fireballs...

The others fired spells into the sky without any scruples. Some members of the Veela party were already injured and were caught by their companions and flown in the sky. This weakened the firepower a lot.

What attracted Tom's attention was not the group of hideous-looking Veela, but the only beautiful silver-haired girl in their camp. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old and already had the potential to charm everyone.

Half-Veela...

Tom guessed the identity of the silver-haired girl, and without hesitation, he Apparated to the edge of the battlefield and roared.

"Stop! Let go of these Veela and let me take over!"

Both sides were frightened by this troublemaker. One of the human wizards with a scar on his face said impatiently: "If you don't want to die, get out of here. This is our prey!"

"Answer me a question first, and then I'll consider whether to leave." Tom looked at him seriously and said.

"What's the problem?" the scar-faced wizard asked subconsciously.

"Do you know where the dragon is?"

"Fire dragon?" Scarface laughed crazily as if he had heard some big joke: "You dare to covet the fire dragon alone? If I knew, I would really tell you, and then see how you die in the fire dragon's mouth."

"It seems you don't know."

Tom sighed and waved his wand.

"Hand of Hell"

boom---!

The fire of hell gushed out, and under the horrified gazes of the wizards and the Veela, a giant hand formed by silver flames emerged from the ground and clenched its fist towards the wizards standing together.

The armor spell that blocked countless Veela fireballs was shattered in an instant with a rapid "crackling" sound. The palms closed together, and more than half of the wizards did not escape, and turned into ashes with screams.

"No!"

The scarred wizard luckily escaped the disaster. He looked at the sea of fire with bloodshot eyes, and then ruthlessly shot a green fluorescent light at Tom.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Tom quickly turned sideways, easily dodging the spell, and pointed his wand at the scar-faced wizard. "Break into pieces!"

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the fierce fire fell like a meteor according to Tom's will, hitting the surviving wizards. After more than ten seconds, ten more survivors were killed.

Tom nodded in satisfaction. He was very happy with his learning results these days. The nearly one thousand credits were not wasted. He had fully mastered the Fiery Fire Curse and the various derivative uses created by Grindelwald.

Even if he were placed in Paris back then, he would be able to burn a lot of things.

The forest was so quiet that only the crackling sound of the fire burning the air could be heard.

They didn't dare to breathe, nor did they dare to act rashly - there were still several balls of fire floating in the sky, blocking their retreat.

"Come down and talk?" Tom nodded to them. "But you 5.3 need to calm down. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking action now that I'm in such a state of honor."

Afraid that these Veelas wouldn't understand English, Tom switched to speaking French.

Sure enough, some of the Veela still looked at her in fear and horror, but two of them understood and made sharp and strange sounds. All the Veela slowly landed on the ground, but they were still

Tom kept a certain distance and protected the silver-haired girl at the back.

In order to show his sincerity, Tom also sucked the fierce fire into his hands, and was wrapped in golden light and disappeared into thin air.

"Dear human warrior, thank you for your help." A Veela said in French with a strange accent, but her appearance remained unchanged.

Tom was just forcing others to do what he wanted, just like a cat with its fur standing on end. The bird-like form of the Veela was also a way for them to protect themselves and was affected by their emotions.

We are not out of danger yet, so it is impossible for us to relax.

Tom could only look at these sharp-toothed monsters and continue, "You heard me just now. I'm here to find the fire dragon. I'm not interested in anything else."

"At least I saved you, so I'll repay you for your kindness. If you help me find the fire dragon, I'll have repaid you."

The Veela who knew French translated Tom's meaning to the other Veela. For a moment, they looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

The fire dragon is not easy to deal with, and the human wizard in front of it is not easy to deal with either.

If they don't agree, they may not be able to leave here...

"Hibiscus!"

At this moment, there was new movement in the forest, and another group of bird-shaped Veela flew over from a distance.
