A magical journey that begins at Hogwarts

"Calm down, calm down!" Dika immediately advised. "It's just a pet, you can't lose your temper."

"Is that just an ordinary pet? That's a highly intelligent dragon!" Modo said angrily. "Don't tell me you didn't see its provocation."

Dika was speechless as he looked at Abe's raised claw, because a sharp tooth in the middle of the claw was clearly visible in the sunlight.

"But it is, after all, the young master's pet."

"so what?

"I can't swallow this insult without teaching it a lesson. At worst, I'll get a scolding when I get back; the boss won't hit me for it, will he?" Modo said, giving Aaron a meaningful look. "Young Master, if you stand up for it afterward, I'll accept it."

"Don't worry, I'm a fair and just person."

I will never tolerate this bad habit of theirs, otherwise they might cause me a lot of trouble in the future!

"I can rest assured that."

Abe's arrogant and haughty demeanor was immediately dampened, and he lowered his head guiltily.

"Hey, as your partner of many years, I still want to remind you to calm down."

Abe wasn't just the young master's pet; the head of the family and his wife also loved it dearly, and they would be back soon.

Upon hearing this, Modo's face twitched involuntarily.

The two golden amulets that had appeared on Abe almost blinded him.

"I'll give you face this time."

"No need to be so polite. If you go to deal with that dragon, I'll have to face the young master directly."

Winning isn't something to be proud of, but losing is truly tragic.

Modo:......

Give me back the gratitude I felt.

"Business is important. If we mess this up, I don't need to tell you the consequences!"

Modo snorted and looked directly at the man and dragon opposite him. "Young Master, please forgive me."

"I'll say it again, I won't blame you, but you shouldn't blame me either."

The two exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.

Two brilliant white beams shot out from the tip of the wand, swirling and intertwining in mid-air to form a white-blue ball of light, more than doubling its power.

"Abe, evil dragon... ptooey, holy dragon roar."

Abe roared and underwent the first stage of transformation, turning into a one-meter-long baby dragon.

A fierce flame spewed from its mouth, colliding with the spells released by Dika and Modo, but the difference in strength was quite obvious, and the dragon's breath was quickly suppressed.

Seeing this, Aaron shrugged, drew a green magic circle, and mobilized the wind element in the air.

With the help of the wind, the fire was able to barely hold its own against the curse.

"So they're still a bit lacking after all?" Aaron murmured. Only now did he truly witness the combat prowess of these two guards. Even with their strength significantly reduced, they could probably still hold their own against a mage.

"Young Master, that's enough. You have no chance of winning," Dika shouted.

"That's what you think. I know much more than that!" Aaron said, adding runes to the green magic circle and transforming it into a higher-level magic circle.

The wind gradually picked up, and the crimson dragon flames slowly engulfed the white ball of light.

boom!

The spell shattered, and the two were blown more than ten meters away by the scorching hurricane before landing on the ground.

"Cough cough!" Modo scrambled to his feet, clutching his arm. His face was charred, and half of his sleeve was burned to ashes.

Dika was in slightly better condition, but she still looked particularly disheveled.

It was only because Abe shut up at the last minute that they were able to, otherwise they probably would have had to go to the hospital.

"Thank you for your mercy, young master," Dika said helplessly. "We have lost this time. You have plenty of time to leave before we recover."

Modo nodded with a complicated expression. Although he was somewhat unconvinced, neither of them were people who could not accept defeat, and they would not make excuses for their failure.

"Thank you," Aaron said with emotion. "I won by sheer luck this time. I have to admit that I really couldn't beat the two of you on my own. Luckily, I had a reliable helper."

To be honest, Genes not coming with you guys is his biggest mistake this year.

See you next year then, though of course, if you can find me, we can meet earlier.

When Aaron said this, both Modo and Dika showed strange smiles, their eyes full of schadenfreude.

"Young Master, why don't you turn around and take a look?" Dika said, suppressing a laugh. "There's a surprise."

"Forget it! Don't try to trick me now. I haven't used that trick in ten years."

“No!” Modo said very seriously, “We’ve staked everything for the rest of our lives, including our money, reputation, dignity, and even our lives. We’re absolutely not lying to you.”

"Don't say things like that. Unless a contract is signed, anything can be fake," Aaron said calmly, his head quickly turning to the back of his head.

"You see, I knew there was nothing there."

"Perhaps you didn't look carefully enough, young master."

Genes' voice came from the side, and Aaron couldn't help but shudder, turning his face away with difficulty.

Genes gave Aaron a warm smile, then stepped aside, revealing a man and a woman behind him.

"Dad, Mom," Aaron said, forcing a smile, "aren't you supposed to be back in a few hours?"

“That might be true for Muggles,” Lisanna said with a smile as she picked up Abbe. “But we are wizards, and Apparition can save us a lot of time.”

Aaron's heart sank slightly. "When did you arrive?"

“Maybe a little earlier than you think.” Vico rubbed his eyes and yawned as he said, “After I got off the train, I heard from Genes that you had learned Apparition, and Number Three and Number Four are also looking for you.”

I couldn't wait to bring your mother to see the play, and I have to admit, it was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

He is meticulous, seizes every opportunity, and is ruthless in his methods, yet he knows how to maintain boundaries. He is quite capable and can fight opponents of higher levels.

"He's truly my son. Your grandfather would be so happy if he knew."

"You..." Aaron looked at Dika and Modo, and said angrily, "You have no sportsmanship! Don't you have any conscience at hiring foreign aid of this caliber?"

“Young Master, this is a huge misunderstanding,” Dika said. “We haven’t done anything.”

“They really didn’t do anything,” Vico explained. “As the head of the Gaius family, one should have certain privileges, such as being able to know where you are whenever I want.”

Don't misunderstand, Gaius values ​​bloodlines very much. This magic will take effect from the moment you are born, but its fundamental purpose is protection.

"I will never use this magic in my entire life unless absolutely necessary."

"What about last year?"

“I wasn’t home last year either. Even if I were home, I wouldn’t care if you ran away from home on your own,” Vico said nonchalantly. “But this year is different.”

Upon hearing this, Aaron's lips curled into a bitter smile.

No wonder none of the ancestors thought highly of him; it turns out that his location was a precise coordinate in Viko's eyes.

Chapter 227 The Bizarre Taste in Choosing a Daughter-in-Law

Gaius Castle.

Aaron sat meekly on the sofa in the living room, opposite Vico Gaius, the current head of the Gaius family, and his wife, Lisanna Gaius.

As for the butler who usually followed Aaron around, he wasn't there; he was busy instructing his two subordinates.

The elites they trained with so much time and effort had no sense of vigilance whatsoever. They didn't even realize they were poisoned. If it weren't for the patriarch and his wife's sudden inspiration to stop the young master from running away, they would have lost all face.

"You've gotten too capable, your wings have hardened, one run isn't enough, you actually want to run a second time." Vico looked at his son mockingly, "Are you trying to fly to the heavens!"

Aaron gave an awkward laugh. "I was just not prepared."

“If everything is prepared, it’s not life, it’s a script.” Vico rolled his eyes and said solemnly, “You are the only one who has made something of yourself out of our three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. The family’s mission is one that you must fulfill.”

"I know, but I already said I wasn't ready. I'm only thirteen!"

“Some people take up the mantle at twelve, or even eleven.” Vico looked directly into Aaron’s eyes. “This is not an excuse. Do you know how incredible a stroke of luck this is for you?”

“I don’t know, but I know how dangerous it is.” Aaron pointed in the direction of the secret chamber, a dry smile on his face. “I asked my ancestors for hints.”

Some people told me to become stronger, some told me not to trust anyone, some told me not to speculate about what others are thinking, some told me to be strong, and the most extreme one said: Good luck, don't die.

More than twenty ancestors each gave me a single sentence; I endured over twenty attacks of negative energy. It's a miracle I didn't break down.

“Uh…” Viko opened his mouth and exchanged a glance with Lisanna. “There’s a reason why the clan rules emphasize not speaking carelessly.”

"Son, you are the only heir of the family!"

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs. There might be danger, but I can guarantee you won't die.

Aaron twitched the corner of his mouth. To be honest, he didn't doubt the truth of the statement. Even if Vico wanted to lie to him, he wouldn't say it in front of Lisanna.

“Alright!” Aaron took a few deep breaths and sighed softly, “Father, please just say it. I can take it.”

"As expected of my son, the Gaius family's mission for thousands of years has been to connect... oh..."

Vico groaned in pain halfway through his sentence, then looked down at the hand gripping his waist. "What did I do wrong?"

Lisanna smiled and raised an eyebrow. "You seem to have forgotten something, something we agreed on."

“That’s true, this is much more important than the family’s mission.” Vico patted his forehead and took a file folder out of his bag.

Lisanna took it and handed it directly to Aaron, saying, "Son, take a look."

Aaron stared blankly at the file folder, feeling for some reason that it was unusually heavy.

After opening it, his expression became quite interesting, with several black lines appearing on his forehead and his fingers trembling slightly.

The file folder contained ten sheets of brown paper. He flipped through a few pages and found that each page contained the names of girls, along with their personalities, ages, lineages, abilities, talents, and family backgrounds.

"Aren't you surprised? Isn't that unexpected?" Lisanna said with a gentle smile. "I put a lot of effort into choosing this for you, and of course, your father also contributed to the selection."

Aaron opened his mouth, looking at Vico in astonishment, and was surprised to find that his eyes were full of schadenfreude, but he managed to suppress his laughter.

"Ahem! Your mother is only doing this for your own good."

If you have someone you like, just tell me, and I'll personally arrange a marriage for you.

"Hehe! I'm only thirteen!"
