Chapter 220 Night Attack on the Mayor's Mansion
After Luochen got the news, he rushed to Bristol Town immediately.
As soon as the front foot left, Old Malfoy used an excuse to check the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts to ensure that the students were safe enough for the subsequent games.
He came to Hogwarts specially... After all, he is the school manager.
The time Luo Chen chose was at the beginning of night, as soon as he appeared in the mansion of the Bichar family.
Several youths who were guarding around noticed it immediately, and they trotted over to meet him.
Even if the leader hadn't told them what Luo Chen looked like, they were still very excited when they knew that they were working for the famous Mr. Bichar.
"Mr. Bichar, you are here!"
"Where's Mr. Margery?"
"Mr. Bichar, here..., please come with me." The young man tried his best to suppress his excitement, and turned to lead Luo Chen the way. The two left the compound of the ancient house and walked towards the direction of the river.
I haven't seen you in the past two months, and earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
Taking Luochen's old house as the center, except for the direction stretching towards the town, the surrounding area was separated by a high wall into a huge square area with a length of 500 to 500 meters and a width of 300 meters, and the land inside was leveled.
The underground network is being built, and some areas have been transformed into prototypes of some functional facilities. Luo Chen told Margery at the time that he wanted a garden-style mansion similar to the Chinese style.
No specific details were presented. After all, Luo Chen lives in England now, he also needs to take care of the local culture, and wants Margery to develop himself.
So far it seems to be progressing pretty well.
Along the way, whenever they met Luo Chen, even if they saw them from a distance, they waved and greeted Luo Chen excitedly.
"It's late at night, why don't we stop working!"
"This..." The young man who led the way hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "They are mostly squibs, and they don't want to leave the wizarding world, so in order to avoid delaying the progress, they can only do more."
"Squibs?" Luo Chen understood, no wonder those people he saw just now were working with magic.
Originally, he thought that the construction industry in the wizarding world was not much different from the Muggle society, and it still needed to be built brick by brick.
After all, magic has its limits.
You can't count on how long the buildings transformed by the transfiguration spell, or the building materials will last, even if they are made by powerful wizards.
Persisting for decades is also the limit.
It's like the Burrow of the Weasley family, you can look weird from the outside, even ugly, but the space inside is very large.
It's just because part of the area has been cast with the traceless stretching spell, which fully expands the internal space.
But for this spell to be effective, it doesn't mean that ordinary materials can carry it, and it also needs a lot of precious materials to fill it.
But Luo Chen had no such plans for the time being. The land on which he built his mansion was vast. He has never learned the No Trace Stretching Curse either.
It costs two hundred to get started, I really thought he was being taken advantage of!
For one thing, if I can draw a similar spell in the future, the effect will definitely be better.
Second, the expanded space of the No Trace Stretch Mantra needs to be re-fixed every once in a while. Very troublesome.
Far away.
The young man who led the way suddenly fell silent when he saw Luo Chen, thinking that he had said something wrong. I dare not say any more.
Soon they came to the river, where rows of simple wooden houses had been built, as well as a dusty magic tent that looked old.
"Mr. Bichar, I didn't expect to trouble you!" Margery greeted him from a distance.
Luo Chen waved his hand, and did not enter the house, but stood by the river and asked, "What's the specific situation?"
Margery came along.
It turned out that Luochen fiddled with those big leaves that violated laws and disciplines from Sewente's secret room that day. After throwing it into the homes of those ordinary residents who he was sure had a bad relationship with Sewente and who usually behaved relatively well.
Not only did Sewent not claim it back, but instead held a meeting, binding the entire town to him.
Encourage everyone to plant those big leaves together and make big money together.
Then the townspeople in the village were persuaded one after another, and after thinking about it for a few days, they joined in together.
After all, the land here is very strange. Although the terrain is vast, the soil is deep, and it is not a saline-alkali land, the crops grown are very poor.
Instead of this, it is better to engage in some gray industries. That way the money comes in quickly, at worst, they will earn enough money in the future, and they will just move out of here.
After hearing this, Luo Chen was puzzled.
"According to you, everyone in this town is involved? And how do you know?"
"This... I have a young man under my command. He once learned Legilimency and reciting spells in the library of Hogwarts College, but his level of mastery is average." Margery said, "Only read it that night." Sewent, who had little memory, was in a coma for two days afterwards."
"After that, he also noticed something and strengthened his defense. He continued to instruct his subordinates to steal materials from the construction site."
"But according to the current law, we have no way to deal with these Muggles, so..."
Seeing Ma Jieli's embarrassed face, Luo Chen suddenly realized.
yes!
He has always ignored a very important issue. Compared with Muggles, wizards are naturally powerful.
However, due to the limitations of various laws and regulations of the Ministry of Magic, at some point, it will put wizards at a disadvantage in front of Muggles.
For the sake of the Statute of Secrecy you can cast spells, but you can't harm Muggles.
Otherwise, they will definitely be sentenced and held accountable.
These are nothing to those wizards who are powerful, or have a little money in their families, but to wizards like Margery, who live with a bunch of squibs.
It's really hard.
Being able to sneak in at night to collect information is the limit of what they can do.
"That being the case, leave it to me!"
Luo Chen said, and a Jitianwangdi curse disappeared on the spot, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of the secret room of the mayor's mansion.
"Catch the wind and catch the shadow!"
The location of the mayor was determined, and it happened to be in the bedroom connected to this study.
He walked in without any concealment, controlled a chair and dropped it in front of the window, and sat down with his back facing the moonlight. Hiding his entire body in the shadows.
This Sewente may have done too many bad things, and he is full of vigilance. One moment he was lying on the bed alone and sleeping soundly, and the next moment he woke up suddenly.
Subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the window.
Luo Chen, who was planning to cast the Nanke Yimeng Curse, had no choice but to take back his wand.
"who!"
Sewente's other hand quietly touched under the pillow next to him.
Hidden there is the high-powered revolver he modified with a lot of money.
"Who I am, you don't have to worry about it, but from tomorrow onwards, take care of the claws of your subordinates, otherwise..."
Sewent's hand had already reached for the pistol over there. Quickly pulled it out, and fired at Luo Chen's side with a bang bang.
In the end, only a few muffled bangs were heard.
The crashed bullet, having lost all forward momentum, fell to the ground.
But Sewent also rolled over to the other side of the bed, relying on it to defend.
But this weird scene made Sewente's pupils shrink suddenly.
"I see, you are a wizard!"
Luo Chen was taken aback for a moment, he came here and chose to hide. I just want to intimidate the other party. As for the ending of Sewente, it needs to be handed over to the Muggle judge to decide.
Doing chivalry, robbing the rich and giving to the poor are not in his plan.
But since the other party still knew about wizards, Luo Chen also became interested.
Before he left, he not only deleted all traces of his visit, but also wiped out the other party's memories that had survived for more than ten years, including fragments about wizards.
