Hogwarts: The Obscurial War School

"Then let's talk about you, Miss Goldstein." Aurelius looked at Tina who calmed down.

"Although you are an Auror, you are an Auror of the Magical Congress of Magnesia, and this is France - you have no law enforcement rights, right? To be honest, with the way you attacked me just now, I can definitely use the death curse. I'll hit you without paying any price." Aurelius looked at her.

"My mission is to take you back, we are protecting you!" Tina's expression looked very sad, and there was a sense of 'unknowing' in her eyes when she looked at him.

Aurelius could completely guess what Tina was thinking, and he didn't need Legilimency.

From Tina's point of view, she is here to save 'Aurelius' from fire and water.

But just because she guessed it, it didn't mean that Aurelius would be grateful, nor did it mean that Aurelius would be at her mercy.

"Do you think I believe it?" Aurelius looked at her contemptuously: "Miss Goldstein, I remember that seven or eight months ago, you told me with all your heart that I would receive compensation from the Magic Congress. .But what did I gain?”

Tina's expression was a bit unbearable. She had always felt sorry for Aurelius about this matter, but her 'sense of justice' prevented her from turning a blind eye.

"Wanted? Deported? I am now leaving my homeland and wandering around Europe. Miss Goldstein, do you think if you were me, should you believe what you just said? Would you trust someone who is covering up others in order to whitewash the peace? The sinful Magic Congress?" Aurelius didn't mention anything else, only grasping this point.

Tina fell silent.

If you can't beat it, you will lose.

What else is there to say?

"Okay, you two, I don't need to mention some things anymore. I was very happy today. I saw an old friend and made a new friend. If nothing happens, would you like to stay for a meal tonight? Nagini's craftsmanship is very good." Aurelius winked at Nagini, who responded with a slight smile.

"Uh-excuse me." Tina was reluctant. She didn't want to see Aurelius at all now. What she did just now frightened her, no less than the shadow brought by the execution chamber nine months ago.

But considering the mission and Newt’s crazy hints beside her, Tina agreed.

Nagini said hello and went out. These days, Nagini has been borrowing the hotel kitchen to cook.

Zuowu's appetite is too big. If he buys everything from the hotel, he will probably go bankrupt.

After dealing with Newt and Tina, Aurelius took a closer look at the body.

The cause of death is not important, it can be seen at a glance.

What interests Aurelius is his identity.

Who is he? A thief?

Kind of, but Aurelius didn't think so.

Although this guy behaves like a thief and dresses like a thief, he climbs out of the window at night, which is the proper behavior of a gentleman.

But Aurelius just didn't believe that he was a thief. The main reason was that a thief must have a reason for stealing, right?

He stayed in his room for ten days, and spent the first two months living in seclusion, visiting a few Ministry of Magic officials, and that was all. He didn't reveal his wealth, so why would the thief target him?

No thief breaks into an empty door without any reason. If he doesn't step on it better, what if he is a poor man?

I gently uncovered the corpse and searched it, but found nothing.

Except for a well-maintained wand, there is no important information.

Objects outside the body can be placed and removed, but the things on the body cannot be removed.

Rolling up the sleeves of the dead body, a strange tattoo was revealed - it looked like a vulture, but it had three legs.

"What mark is this~`?" Aurelius didn't recognize it, so he looked at Newt.

The three-legged vulture must be a magical animal no matter how you look at it, but unexpectedly, Newt, the world's number one expert on magical animals, also looked confused.

"Isn't this a magical animal?" Aurelius asked.

Newt shook his head: "Never seen it, never heard of it."

Could it be the symbol of some mysterious organization? Aurelius looked at Tina again. This Magnesium Auror might know.

Tina also shook her head.

That's it, I don't know anything about my feelings.

Aurelius continued to look at the body. In the mouth of the corpse, Aurelius found a tooth hiding poison.

"Good guy, a dead soldier?" Aurelius shook his head.

Nothing else is really gained.

But fortunately, for wizards, there is something that makes it easier to leave evidence—a magic wand!

"Excuse me, who can help me?" Aurelius handed over the corpse's wand.

Tina took it, took out her wand and pointed it, "Flashback curse!"

Miraculous light emerged from the tops of the two wands, connected together, and the golden light shone, recreating the magic spell the wands had once cast.

"Alajo Cave--there is a counter-spell on the hotel room door, but there is no window?"

"Illusion spell." Tina looked carefully at the manifested images.

"And Apparating," Newt added.

"Can you show it a little more? Look where he comes from." Aurelius reminded.

Tina shook her head: "No, the flashback spell can only look at the spells that the wand has cast before.

The flashbacks continue.

It can be seen that this is a person who relies heavily on magic spells, and most of them are relatively advanced magic spells.

Yes, spells such as the Opening of the Alajo Cave and the Disillusionment Curse are actually real 'advanced' spells.

It's not how difficult these spells are to cast, but how few people use them.

In fact, many people have the illusion that wizards have mastered all kinds of magical magic and seem to be omnipotent.

This is not right.

In fact, most wizards reach the pinnacle of their lives the moment they graduate.

Normal life, work, and traveling are no different from ordinary people except for the tool of magic.

Who hasn’t tried to use wire to open an iron lock as a child?

But except for thieves and locksmiths, who in the normal world would study lockpicking skills every day?

The same goes for wizards. Unlocking spells and body transformation spells are almost useless in daily life. Most wizards commonly use various life spells. If they are not used or cast for a long time, simple spells will degrade.

In comparison, the disembodiment spell is very difficult, but almost every adult wizard can cast it in quantity. This is where practice makes perfect.

It's just that the stories I came across in my previous life were all closely related to combat, so most of the characters who appeared were combat talents, which led to the misunderstanding.

Don't think too highly of wizards. Except for their innate magic power, wizards are no different from ordinary people. There are geniuses and mediocre people, and there is a division of labor.

The owner of this wand has no life spells in the short term, but only combat magic.

Black magic is also commonplace.

Sketch the image experience through the casting of these spells.

Aurelius judged that this was a person who wandered on the edge of battle, and he was most likely to be shady. This eliminates formal combat professions such as Auror and Duelist.

In addition, Aurelius discovered that his battles were very frequent. Broken down, there were at least a dozen battles of varying lengths within the limited flashback duration of the Flashback Spell.

This is a good idea. Aurelius discovered that he always used non-fatal spells in battles, mainly confinement and control. Petrification, freezing ground, leg tripping and leg-locking spells were the most common ones, and in Among these curses, there are occasionally death curses such as death curses and thunderbolt explosions.

This shows that his battles are mainly based on subduing and capturing, and he will only choose to kill the target when he is unable to subdue and capture.

In fact, Auror really fits this kind of fighting model, but his clothes and the fangs in his mouth make him look like a well-trained killer.

So, what does this person do?

"...Wait..." Aurelius suddenly raised his head, "Has he used the Iron Armor Curse?"

"Maybe not."

"Is there such a wizard? He fights frequently, but he has never used the Iron Armor Curse." Aurelius frowned.

"But he used a lot of obstacle spells." Tina said.

"Although the Obstacle Curse is also a defensive spell, it is mainly for control and cannot replace the role of the Armor Curse at all." Aurelius shook his head. He suddenly saw what Newt seemed to have in mind. He looked like one and asked, "What did you find?"

"He is a magical animal hunter——" Newt looked grim: "I have seen these people. They make a living by hunting magical animals and selling various magical animal materials. Because a large amount of powder is fresh and the best, these people Generally, they will be captured alive and imprisoned, and then killed to obtain materials when it is time to sell them.”

"Fantastic animal hunters mostly work in small groups of three to five. They have a clear division of labor. There are those who are responsible for prevention, those who are responsible for capturing, those who are responsible for tracking, etc. This person...should be in charge of such a team Capture and besiege people.

As he said that, Newt's face turned ugly: "We missed it - such a team acted almost at the same time. When he came here, his companions must not be far away. But after such a long study, his companions may have run away long ago. .”

"Wait——Hunter of Fantastic Beasts? You seemed to have said...what is it called Grimm?"

"Grimson, Gunnar Grimson. He is the most famous magical animal hunter in the world, monopolizing more than half of the global illegal magical animal materials market. I met him at the British Ministry of Magic before coming here. The British Ministry of Magic hired him to track you." Newt looked at Aurelius, "Maybe this person is one of Grimson's men!".
