Chapter 274 Disguise Seen Through

"Which black magic shop are you talking about?" Ivan asked tentatively.

"Of course it's Bojinbo. After fighting for so long, I don't know which side won." Tom sighed.

Ivan frowned. He had been staying in a temporary residence these days, looking for ways to change the past, so he didn't know about this.

However, two black magic shops were attacked in succession, and Ivan had to wonder if there was any connection between them.

Is anyone specifically targeting black magic shop owners? Or

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ivan's mind.

Ivan pretended to be interested and then asked.

"What happened next? Didn't the Aurors check? Did they find out who did it?"

"Come on, how dare those Aurors care about such a thing?" Tom curled his lips disdainfully, took a sip of butterbeer, and continued slowly.

"Besides, all those who died are dark wizards. I heard that there are also many werewolves who came from other places. The Ministry of Magic hopes that as many of them die as possible."

"So many people have died, and order has been much better this month," Tom said gloatingly.

This attack was a month ago?

Just when Ivan was about to continue asking to see if he could get some useful information, a hand suddenly wrapped around his shoulder.

Ivan subconsciously wanted to activate the effect of the Ring of Protection to pop the opponent out.

But then Ivan thought of the purpose of coming here, suppressed his thoughts, held the wand in his right hand, and turned his head calmly.

The person holding his shoulders next to him was a middle-aged wizard. He looked very ordinary, but was unusually tall. His hands were like pliers holding Ivan's shoulders tightly, preventing him from moving.

"Daniel, why are you here? Where are the others?" The middle-aged wizard took the butterbeer from Ivan's hand with his other hand, took a few sips, and looked at Ivan with suspicion.

"Of course I'll wait for you here," Ivan replied calmly.

Then Ivan lowered his voice and complained.

"You didn't tell us before that that woman was so powerful. We suffered a big loss and were tricked."

"Let's talk when we get back!" The middle-aged wizard interrupted Ivan's next words, glared at Tom who was eavesdropping in warning, and then forcibly pulled Ivan away.

Tom shrugged indifferently and put away the half-drunk bottle of butterbeer.

He doesn't mind these nosy matters, not to mention what Ivan said was very vague and had no substantive content at all.

Ivan, who was pulled away, had no intention of resisting, which was just what he wanted.

It's not a good idea to take action in the Leaky Cauldron. The Auror responsible for protecting Harry is not far away, so it would be bad if there is a misunderstanding.

Ivan was restrained and left the Leaky Cauldron, and the two of them walked towards the dark alley in Knockturn Alley.

When they reached a deserted place, the sturdy middle-aged wizard suddenly took action, pushed Ivan into the corner, grabbed his collar, and spoke urgently.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

So urgent? !

Ivan was a little confused, or were the dead attackers friends of each other?

Thinking of this, Ivan pretended to be afraid and said hesitantly.

"When we entered the black magic shop and fought with the female shopkeeper, we accidentally fell into a trap. A black magic item caused an explosion. Many people were injured. In the end, I was the only one who escaped."

"Then where have you been for so long? Why didn't you come to us?" The middle-aged wizard's eyes were full of distrust.

"I have been hiding in a broken house on the east side to recuperate. I don't dare to look for you again. The other eight people are dead and I am the only one who is still alive. So" Ivan tried hard to think of the right words in his mind and tried his best. to restore his own image.

These words seemed to make the middle-aged wizard relax his vigilance, and he lowered his right hand that was holding Ivan.

But before Ivan could breathe a sigh of relief, the middle-aged wizard made a fist with his right hand and hit him directly.

Under the effect of the protective ring, a transparent magic barrier instantly blocked Ivan.

The fist hit it, causing ripples, and the force of the backlash made the burly middle-aged wizard step back.

"Expelliarmus!" Ivan didn't know how he was exposed, but he waved his wand immediately, and a dazzling red light flashed in the dim night.

At such a close distance, the disarming spell failed. The middle-aged wizard twisted his body and rolled twice on the ground in a panic, escaping narrowly.

"You're not Daniel?!" the middle-aged wizard said with a sullen face.

"Of course not!" Ivan was not pretending to be interested at this time, but he still asked strangely. "Did I say something wrong just now?"

The wizard didn't answer. He quickly jumped up from the ground and sprinted in front of Ivan, hitting him with an elbow.

The magic barrier once again blocked Ivan.

The Iron Armor Curse was not originally developed to withstand physical attacks. After two consecutive heavy blows, there were already signs of instability.

Are you still a wizard?

Ivan was very depressed, but he also knew that at such a close distance, for ordinary wizards, unless they could cast spells without spells, fists were more effective than magic!

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary wizard. As Ivan thought, the runes of the magic ring on his wrist lit up one by one.

Before the next punch hit his face, a shock wave composed purely of magic spread out with Ivan as the center.

The wizard, who was as strong as an iron tower, was instantly thrown away and hit the wall behind.

"Dizzy" Ivan waved his wand and was about to cast a spell to subdue the opponent, but he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A deep male voice sounded from the other side of the alley, and a deep green light shot out from the darkness.

The moment Ivan saw the green light, he threw a few buttons in that direction.

Flying in the air, the transformation spell released on the button was immediately lifted. Several black fist-sized rats were lying in the middle. The green light hit one of the rats. The remaining rats fell to the ground in horror. Then dispersed.

These mice that were transformed into buttons were naturally prepared by Ivan.

The last time he was almost killed by Tom Riddle's Avada Kedavra, Ivan had been thinking about ways to deal with the Killing Curse.

The effect of this curse is simple and direct, it is to end a life, and there is no way to undo the curse after being hit.

There are ways to deal with it. Just find a living animal to resist the killing curse, just like the phoenix in the secret room last school year.

Taking advantage of the gap between Ivan's defense and the killing curse, the sturdy wizard had already stood up from the ground, and two figures walked out of the dark alley in the distance.

Ivan's face turned gloomy. It was obvious that the other party had planned to bring him here.
