Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 169 Sirius Black has escaped from prison.

Dumbledore looked at Lupin with a strange expression: "You succeeded?"

The latter shook his head, looking completely bewildered: "I don't remember? It was just that suddenly... I turned back."

While everyone else was marveling at Lupin's incredible success, Kane suddenly had a somewhat immature idea...

If the moon in the Eternal Realm needs to find a power vessel in the real world, then the moon in the real world can only be considered superficially reliable.

Its carrier must be the Mooncaller's Wand... so is it possible that...?

Kane took out his demon-proof goggles from inside his hat and looked up at the moon in the sky. At this moment, the moon was just the moon, without that hazy veil, and he could not see any huge eyeballs.

Then he pulled the Mooncaller's Wand, which was wrapped in layers of shadow, from his own shadow. He peeled away the shadow and saw that, sure enough, the eyeball was looking at him with lively curiosity from inside the gem of the Mooncaller's Wand.

"Ah, I never thought I'd be this close to you in my life, huh?" Kane raised an eyebrow, greeted the moon, and then put the Mooncaller's Wand away again.

He not only confirmed the transfer of the moon's power carrier, but he also checked whether Lupin had really solved his strange little problem.

For example, is it possible that the Mooncaller's wand was put away by himself, which freed him from the werewolf's curse?

Obviously not, because Lupin had just taken out the Mooncaller's Wand, and he was still acting as if nothing had happened.

So Lupin probably did reach some kind of cooperation with the Moon... Of course, this is unlikely. It's more likely that Lupin annoyed the Moon with his tears and snot, which is why the Moon withdrew its little bit of Fortune power.

At the same time, fearing that other werewolves would also know how easygoing he was, he erased Lupin's memory as well.

After piecing together the truth of the matter in his mind, Kane raised an eyebrow. What could he say?

As expected of you, Moon.

While Kane was brainstorming, Dumbledore had already finished negotiating with the centaurs. After being charged with the power of the moon, the platform emitting a faint blue light remained in the centaur tribe.

The Mooncaller's wand and the two-legged creature himself left the centaur tribe, taking the opportunity to praise the centaurs' generosity.

"Well then, we should head back... Oh, by the way, Lupin, do you have any other werewolf friends?" Frenzel suddenly spoke up after Dumbledore finished speaking and was about to go out to see them off.

"My people allowed you to come to the tribe this time because of the platform's enhancement; they won't agree next time."

Dumbledore nodded: "Of course, we don't have any ambition to cure all the werewolves in the world. We just want to see if other werewolves will also be freed from this terrible curse because of what happened today."

Kane's expression slowly turned into an abstract and unpleasant smile. He remained patient until they were escorted out of the centaurs' territory by Ferrenzer, and only after leaving the Forbidden Forest did he slowly speak: "The situation you described may not be Dumbledore's. Although the power of the moon has entered the Mooncaller's wand, the platform still retains some residual power."

Dumbledore nodded, initially surprised by Kane's incredibly slow reaction time, before finally realizing, "Wait, you mean, the remnant?"

Kane nodded: "That's right. If we consider the Centaur tribe's platform as a power generator, the moon used to provide it with a continuous supply of raw materials to generate energy. But now, the raw materials have gone into my wand, so the platform is now just a flaming, still slightly warm pot."

Dumbledore nodded; such matters indeed couldn't be heard by the centaurs, but he still asked, "How long is this remnant?"

"About two or three hundred years? So for at least the next two or three hundred years, the werewolf curse will still be a problem," Kane said with a shrug.

Realizing he had unknowingly caused the centaurs a lot of trouble, Hagrid awkwardly stroked his beard, wondering if he should go back and apologize.

Dumbledore keenly sensed Hagrid's thoughts and quickly persuaded Hagrid to abandon his immature idea.

"If you want to be caught and roasted by those angry centaurs."

Hagrid sincerely rejected the suggestion that came from his conscience. It was just a sacred object, after all. He had never heard of anything magical about the Centaur tribe's platform before. Now that the platform had gained three or four hundred years of lunar power, the Centaurs were definitely the ones who benefited.

No problem, no problem...

Hagrid managed to lull himself to sleep with the "no problem" excuse, since he was always among the top moralists. However, the others obviously didn't have such high moral standards. For example, Kane slept the best, while Dumbledore and Lupin were the only two who couldn't fall asleep.

However, it was definitely not for any other reason, but because they started haggling over the contract for Defense Against the Dark Arts in the principal's office.

Lupin felt his salary was too high and should be reduced appropriately, while Dumbledore's salary was paid by the Board of Trustees, so why should he save money?

After a prolonged stalemate, Dumbledore emerged victorious.

However, this is also a good thing, because when Kane woke up, he found a huge pile of gifts next to his dormitory.

The gifts inside were all chocolates.

Kane glanced at the signature with some curiosity...

Ah, it was Lupin who sent it. It seems that he has escaped the werewolf curse and found Dumbledore to give him an advance on his wages, and then gave him a bunch of gifts that he considers very practical... which means they are edible.

After seeing the label on the chocolates, he probably understood why Lupin was so poor. A Hogwarts professor's salary was only a little over three hundred gallons a month, yet he spent over two hundred gallons on these chocolates.

And why does he think I like chocolate? Have I ever eaten it in front of him?

Kane tore open a bag of chocolates with a puzzled look, threw it into his mouth and crunched away. There were hazelnuts too, great!

When he was getting a little tired of eating chocolate and was about to go to the auditorium to get some fruit to cleanse his palate, he happened to see Lupin, who should have been as happy as ever after the werewolf curse was lifted, but at this moment his brows were furrowed in a frightening way.

"What's wrong? Has the werewolf curse relapsed?" Kane asked.

"I'd rather it be like that..." Lupin pulled out a magical wanted poster that was automatically delivered to every wizarding stronghold without requiring a subscription.

Sirius Black... has escaped from prison.
