Chapter 1092 Memory Master
"Oh, so, are you here to get autographs or are you here to seek justice?"
Romulus's revelation of his werewolf identity did not achieve the effect he wanted. There was no look of surprise or fear on either Lockhart's or Aghasyan's face. Lockhart shrugged. The werewolves walked towards the kitchen stove with wary eyes.
With a flick of his wand, the copper kettle on the stove began to gurgling steam.
"Would you like a cup of tea? But you may have to sit down and wait for a while. There isn't that much hot water..."
"No, we can just stand."
Romulus said, he looked nervously at the darkening sky outside and took a deep breath.
"I won't go around in circles and let's just say it. We have only one purpose here today: to become human again! Mr. Aghashyan, you have done it before, and more than once, right? Use that... well , an extremely complex humanoid restoration spell, successfully freed several werewolves wandering around Muggle villages from this damn curse - before the full moon night ended - I have read it carefully in the book several times. "
"Become a human again? Sorry, what are you talking about?" Aghaxiyan was stunned.
"That spell! The spell that turns a werewolf into a human again! You don't have to lie, we all know it!"
"Uh-Create your own magic? Turn a werewolf back into a human?"
Aghashyan was waiting for Romulus, completely confused. What was this guy talking about?
"Okay, let me review it for you, if you really don't remember."
Romulus seemed to be prepared. He took out a shabby but well-preserved "Wandering with Werewolves" from his pocket and placed it on the dining table in the living room. He opened it to one of the pages with great skill and pointed. Read the text above word for word.
"...I pressed it to the ground with one hand, and held the wand in the other hand against its throat - then I slowed down and used the remaining strength to cast a very complicated restoration charm. It let out a pitiful howl. Then, the fur on its body disappeared and its big fangs retracted."
""He became a man again, simply and effectively."
"The protagonist of this story is you, right?" Romulus let out a breath, "The Ministry of Magic and major newspapers and magazines have confirmed its authenticity in the past few days. You have found a way to lift the werewolf curse. … We have come from all over Europe, what else could we do?”
"Oh, that's not the case! Novels are novels, and you can't look for truth in imaginary stories."
Aghaxiyan finally understood the reason for these werewolves' visit and laughed easily.
"A werewolf turns into a human? How is this possible... So far, the only solution is wolfsbane potion - there should be potion books recording the formula of wolfsbane potion on the shelves of major bookstores. It is a pity that gentlemen, that There is no such thing as a humanoid restoration spell..."
However, he immediately discovered that this was a big mistake.
"You can refuse, but you don't have to fool us like a fool!"
Romulus growled lowly, slapped the dining table hard, took out a newspaper from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
"There is clearly this spell in "Advanced Charms" - the Humanoid Restoration Spell: It can force targets transformed from humans such as Animagus and blood curse carriers to return to human form. Depending on the mana and magic skills, , can deal with transformation states of different difficulties. Sir Merlin even made an exception and awarded Gilderoy Lockhart a third-class medal for this purpose. Are they all talking nonsense?!"
"Yes, I think so, they always like to talk nonsense." Aghaxiyan said dryly.
“Is the experience in this novel real?!”
"It's true, but-"
"Did you help rid those villages of werewolves forever?!"
"Yes, that's enough... do you want to know the truth?" Aghaxiyan suddenly raised his voice a little irritably, "Then let me tell you! That werewolf died, I understand, and he was buried as a human being When he was in the dirt, he turned back into a human forever, are you satisfied?!"
Along with Aghaxiyan's voice, there was an obvious commotion among the werewolves gathered in the living room.
But then, Romulus' roar once again overwhelmed the old wizard, causing the cups and saucers to tremble.
"Liar! Do you think we are three-year-old children?! The Ministry of Magic, Lord Merlin... we are not illiterate beasts!"
"I say it for the last time, werewolves, there is no way to turn back into a human!"
The old wizard laughed in anger and said viciously, "Give up! Even if ten Merlins are resurrected, they can't do it!"
"If you yourself became a werewolf, would you still think there is nothing you can do? Right?"
"You can try. To be honest, I think I've lived long enough—"
Aghasheyan straightened up, glared tit-for-tat at the furious Romulus, and said with a sneer.
"If you think this can threaten me, then I tell you, you are completely wrong! The moon will come out soon, and if I remember correctly, today is the full moon... You still have a chance to leave the town and go back Hiding in the forest - dozens of werewolves are collectively transforming in a small town in the non-magical world. Even if the Armenian Ministry of Magic can't control it, the International Federation of Wizards will summon Aurors from all over the world to come and cause trouble for you."
"Really? Are you threatening me? Do you think those of us here will like the damn life of werewolves?!"
Romulus's face twisted and he roared loudly, his saliva almost splashing on the dessert on the table.
But before the spittle flew out, Lockhart waved his wand in advance and conjured up several lids to cover the dessert plate.
Since the British Ministry of Magic took the lead in taking action against the domestic werewolf community, the magical governments of many countries have also begun to imitate the actions of the British Ministry of Magic. The werewolves who originally walked alone had to start grouping together. They did not want to become the next group to be imprisoned. Poor beast in a cage.
At this time, the story of "Wandering with the Werewolves" undoubtedly became their last hope in the darkness.
"Look, old man - my patience is running out, and if you can't remember the spell, I've got plenty of ways to help you remember it!"
Romulus raised the AK47 in his hand again and winked at his companions around him.
If it weren't for the remaining hope of turning back into a human being, most of the people present would no longer want to live.
"Come on then, do you really think wizards are afraid of Muggle firearms?"
Aghaxiyan raised his wand and said coldly - if he really went all out, the wizard would definitely be able to cause more damage.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At this moment, a cough suddenly sounded in the living room.
Gilderoy Lockhart cleared his throat and looked at the two tense parties in the living room with a smile.
"Calm down, calm down... We are all adults, don't shout and kill at every turn."
The young wizard looked as if he was attending a ball. He gently pressed the old Armenian wizard's arm that raised his wand, turned his head and smiled at Romulus and the others, and spoke softly and unhurriedly. There is a hint of the aura of a superior person in the middle.
"It seems you haven't asked me for my opinion yet? Gentlemen. Don't forget, I am the author of the book "Wandering with Werewolves"."
"You? What, are you threatening to blow up this room again? It's different now than before!"
Romulus sneered and gestured his thumb towards the door, "For the sake of your courage, I allow you to get out. This is a matter between us and Aghaxiyan - we gave you a chance. I gave them goodwill and respect, but all I got in return was ridicule..."
"Oh, no, you may have misunderstood me. Be careful when watching the news!"
Gilderoy Lockhart's smile remained unchanged, he took the newspaper in Romulus' hand, opened it, and tapped a line of words with his fingers.
"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, used the Oblivion Charm to erase Aghashyan's memory, so that I could logically appropriate his experience as my own and write it into a novel. The reason why it has been exposed now is because I repented and took the initiative to restore this old thing's memory."
"Romulus, stop talking nonsense with him, let's do it directly!"
A middle-aged man standing behind Romulus lost his patience, pulled up his sleeves, and prepared to step forward.
"Tsk, tsk... It seems that your common sense and association skills are quite poor——"
Lockhart shook his head regretfully, raised his finger, and continued without changing his expression.
"When a wizard casts the Oblivion Charm, he or she erases the pencil marks on the parchment with an eraser."
"However, a skilled memory master can follow the previous traces and restore the erased memory... In other words, if a wizard can restore a memory, it means that he also possesses that memory. A memory.”
"You are not so naive as to think that Sir Merlin will award me a medal without any real thing?"
The young wizard raised his finger, tapped his temple lightly, and smiled proudly.
"Do you understand? I also have the method you want to restore your human form."
"Lockhart, you-" Aghasheyan frowned heavily and suddenly turned his head to look at the young wizard.
"Hey, don't interrupt at this time, old man!"
Lockhart snorted and interrupted the old man with a look of displeasure.
"Yes, you did research that curse, but what does that have to do with me?"
"Werewolves do have a way to turn back into normal humans. The method is cumbersome and complicated, but it does exist - but the problem is that if everyone threatens to cast spells like you do, there will be no point talking. St. Mungo's Hospital treats colds I still have to collect two silver coins."
"So let me tell you the truth, I can help you find a way to change back, but..."
Lockhart looked around at the eager werewolves, rubbed his thumb and index finger, and said with a smile.
"There are so many of you, so you have to pay first."
"Lockhart, you bastard, shut up! I won't let you—"
"Oh, I almost forgot! There is another very important thing! Only a monopoly can have profit margins..."
Before Agharshyan could finish his words, Lockhart suddenly slapped his head and turned his wand to the side without hesitation.
"Everything is forgotten!"
The next moment, a red beam of light hit the old man heavily.
Lockhart put away his wand gracefully and looked at the old wizard who was under the "Forgetting Curse" with satisfaction.
The silent spell is not really silent. After simple training, he can even command the wand to release "healing as before" while chanting "Avada chews the big melon" - this kind of small trick may not fool a skilled magician. The Master of Spells, but obviously not the werewolves.
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen. I may have to raise the price a little bit."
