Chapter 1: The Overprotected Boy
Diagon Alley.
A young man in a black robe looked at the bustling crowd on the street, then looked up at the sky stained with a little twilight, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
It has been eleven years since he came to this magical world.
Eleven years!
From birth to now, in the process of growing up, his world view, outlook on life, and values have undergone a certain degree of change, and he gradually accepted this world.
Do you know how he spent these eleven years?
"Master, you should go back."
A voice came from behind Aaron, and a well-dressed middle-aged man reminded carefully.
After a few seconds, the boy did not respond.
The middle-aged man took a breath slowly, and was interrupted by him just as he was about to speak.
"Isn't there still a few minutes? Let me stay for a while!"
"But the master and the lady..."
"Didn't they say that I can freely control my time before six o'clock!" Aaron said speechlessly, "Also, what should you call me outside?"
"Boss." The middle-aged man said, looking very embarrassed.
"That's right, Genes." Aaron nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, how much money did my shop make today?"
"About eight Galleons." Genes said with embarrassment.
Eight gold Galleons can't be said to be a lot, but it's not too little either. In this world, it can barely buy a wand.
But this number is really hard to say for the butler.
He didn't understand why his young master left the huge family assets alone and came to this alley to run such a beverage shop with not so prosperous business.
But he couldn't disobey the young master's meaning. Ensuring the young master's safety and returning home on time every day was his only task, and he couldn't control the rest.
"Not bad." Aaron said casually, not caring about the number.
Dinglingling...
At this time, the alarm clock on the counter rang.
Aaron glanced at the butler who was making the gesture of "please" speechlessly, and walked to his side very consciously.
"It's not impossible for me to do it alone."
"Of course, young master, we all know you can do it, but the necessary rules must be followed. This is the advice of the master and your father."
"Haha!" Aaron laughed sarcastically and said nothing.
Aaron grabbed a handful of floo powder, walked into the fireplace in the shop, and clearly read "Gaius Castle", and then sprinkled the floo powder.
A green flame suddenly ignited, and then quickly extinguished.
In the blink of an eye, Aaron had disappeared from the spot and returned to his home.
The butler nodded with relief. Just as he was about to take out his wand to use Apparition, he smiled self-deprecatingly and put it away. Half a minute later, he repeated Aaron's previous operation.
After the two left, two figures were reflected in the wall of Aaron's beverage shop.
They smiled at each other and prepared a cup of hot tea for each other. It was obvious that they were not ordinary familiar.
"When will this day end?" The person on the left said a little depressed.
"Who knows? But it should be soon!
The young master is already gifted, and he is already eleven years old this year, so it's time for him to go to school."
"That's true, but I'm more concerned about the shift change in two days."
......
Gaius Castle.
Every day at this time of six in the afternoon, there is always a house elf waiting at the fireplace, and today is no exception.
Boom!
The fireplace made a noise.
"Be prepared, the young master is coming back." The house elf reminded himself.
Almost the moment Aaron appeared, the house elf used cleaning magic on him, because the dirt on his clothes caused by the use of Floo powder was cleaned up, and Aaron's clothes were instantly refreshed.
"Thank you, Yobi"
"Young master, it is our honor to serve you." Yobi said excitedly.
Then the butler also appeared in the fireplace, and Yobi repeated the previous magic, but Jins just nodded slightly, feeling that what Yobi did was justified.
Although cleaning is indeed one of the duties of a house elf.
"Where are my parents? Haven't they come back yet?" Aaron asked with some complaints.
"No." Joby said with some fear.
"Master, although the master and the lady haven't been home for a long time, they are actually concerned about you." Genes said, "We watched you grow up, and you are definitely the happiest child in the world."
"Stop, Uncle Genes.
You watched me grow up, or monitored me growing up, you know this better than anyone else.
I'm eleven years old, not a three-year-old child, so don't fool me." Aaron said, feeling a little speechless.
From the time he was born to now, no matter when, as long as he is not at home, there are people following him, under the euphemism of protection.
Genes' family has served the Gaius family for generations. They are the most trusted people of Aaron and his parents, and the only open protection that can follow Aaron.
As for the secret, haha! That's hard to say.
Although he has never caught them once, it is certain that the number is definitely not less than two, and they are all masters.
Hearing Aaron's words, Genes' face also showed a hint of bitterness, "Master, it seems that since you can remember, we can't fool you.
But those so-called surveillance are absolutely fictitious, and you imagined them."
If it were in other wizard families, the heirs would have such protection, I don't know how to be happy in my heart!
But my young master always thinks that this kind of "care" is called surveillance, which is an invasion of his personal privacy. He is very disgusted with it, and even protested to his parents more than once.
And Gaius and his wife always admit their mistakes to their son with guilt and sincerity, but the next day they act as if nothing happened and do what they should do!
Over time, not to mention the young master Aaron, even the butler became numb.
But no matter what, the protection of the young master must not stop. As a butler and bodyguard, he has to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it. Anyway, the young master has no evidence.
When he can really bring out the secret guarding force, it will prove that he can stand on his own. Not only will Gaius and his wife not be angry, but they will also laugh three times.
They may even hold a banquet for some inexplicable reason to celebrate this memorable day.
"Humph!" Aaron snorted coldly, and he had no way to deal with their thick skin. "Did they say when they would be back?"
"No, but it should be soon!" Genes was also a little uncertain.
"I shouldn't ask you, you said so half a month ago."
"Maybe they have something important!" Genes said, "You know the master and his family are always busy with something."
Aaron rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Because his parents sent a letter home every once in a while, and each time it was sent from a different place, and without exception, they were all travel destinations.
This was not like the performance of a busy person at all, but a bit like a global trip.
Leaving their own son at home, they went out to have fun, such parents are also generous enough.
Genes also guessed what Aaron was complaining about in his heart, and said aloud: "Master, it's almost dinner time, do you think you need to prepare anything extra?"
"No, just send it to my room later." Aaron said, and walked up the stairs without looking back.
Genes sighed helplessly and turned his eyes to the house elf.
Yobi stood up straight in an instant and said immediately, "I'll go prepare dinner for the young master."
"No, someone will prepare dinner for the young master, you can send it to the young master later."
"Yes, butler Genes." Yobi said solemnly, and then walked towards the direction of the kitchen.
In the room, Aaron lay directly on the bed and quietly opened the personal panel that only he could see.
[Host: Aaron Gaius]
[Magic power: 700 (Intermediate magician, your magic road has just started)]
[Talent: rare in a century (can be improved, magic power increases by 2 points every day, but the speed of increase will fluctuate to a certain extent with the increase of level and age)]
[Items: None]
[Magic points: 1001]
Looking at this simple and even pitiful panel, Aaron sighed silently.
He got this system when he was nine years old. At first, he was quite excited. After all, with the system, the road in this magic world will definitely be much smoother.
But when he understood this system, he suddenly felt that there were ten thousand grass mud horses galloping through his heart. There was no novice gift package, only an ordinary panel and a low-key, luxurious and meaningful system store.
Magic points are a good thing. They can not only improve magic power, but also buy rare items in the system mall, but the disadvantage is that they come too slowly.
There is one sign-in opportunity every day, and it only works in some places related to magic.
Signing in at his house can only get a few magic points, which is only three digits in a year, but in Diagon Alley, it is two magic points. Although there is not much difference between one and two, the temptation of doubling still makes him open a beverage store in Diagon Alley and make money every day.
To be honest, their family is not short of that little money.
If you really look at the identity, the status of the Gaius family in the magic world is not weaker than the twenty-eight pure-blood families, or even slightly better. As for the Muggle world, the Gaius family is also in the top 20 on the rich list.
But there is no way!
The family is strict, there are many places to sign in, but most of them are relatively dangerous. He has people following him wherever he goes every day. Even the store in Diagon Alley was won after he acted like a spoiled child in front of his parents several times.
Although he signed for two years and the magic points just broke through four digits today, Aaron thought it was all worth it, and today was the day he would really spend money.
