Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 141 Following the Temporary Workers

Owen wasn't someone who knew everything, so there were certain intelligence and mission details that he wasn't entitled to know, and he didn't care to know either. He spent his days doing nothing but eating and shopping outside or staying in his room writing and drawing, living a very quiet and unassuming life.

Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he could tell that Owen, this little foreigner, didn't care about the affairs of the supernatural world. He didn't care about things like the Eight Extraordinary Techniques or immortality.

But he still couldn't help but be cautious, because Irving was also human, and as a human, he couldn't escape complicated relationships. He didn't want to create a problem for himself in the future because of a moment of carelessness.

Owen could tell what this guy meant, but he didn't care. He knew that if anyone, whether it was someone from the "All-Knowing" group or someone else, wanted to get information about Hogwarts from him, he probably wouldn't be as calm as Zhang Chulan. Given his temperament, his first reaction wouldn't be a smile, but rather a blazing rage.

But Feng Baobao just kept coming over to me, and this girl really knows how to eat!

Whenever she had free time, she would take Owen and Zhang Chulan to wander around the streets and alleys, uncovering all sorts of hidden delicacies. Owen even had to use a new notebook to record the recipes of the foods they ate.

These were their lifelines, so naturally they wouldn't go into details with him. But Owen was a wizard, and these people were just Muggles. He used a few simple tricks to completely extract their secret formula. Don't misunderstand, these tricks weren't using magic, but rather—

money!

Although Irving only has a small amount of domestic currency, he has a lot of Galleons. All of these Galleons were bought back by Allway, so he now has a lot of money!

There is no problem that money can't solve. If there is, it's because not enough money has been given.

The peaceful days lasted only a few days before the mission finally arrived. Zhang Chulan was a little worried because he still had a foreigner to send away, and now he would have to meet with the temporary workers from other regions. Once they met, they would have to cooperate on the mission. If this went on for too long, it would be difficult to keep Feng Baobao's secret.

Xu Xiang exhausted himself to the point of exhaustion in order to protect Feng Baobao's secret as much as possible. If Zhang Chulan did the same, he didn't know how long he could last.

So, we need to think of a way —

But there's no good solution for the time being; we can only take it one step at a time.

Seeing how uncomfortable he looked, Irving couldn't bear it, so he put on his blindfold as soon as he got in the car. If he couldn't bear to look, then he wouldn't look.

Zhang Chulan was starting to regret it. He had been too wary of Owen before, and now he couldn't even find anyone to talk to. The two Xu brothers were indeed trustworthy, but Xu San was too upright and Xu Si was too slippery. It was already difficult enough to let them handle the public affairs.

If this happened to someone else, they might be at a loss, but Zhang Chulan has a rare advantage: he's thick-skinned!

"Old Ou, Brother Ou?"

This guy pulled down Irving's eye patch and then apologized for two hours with a fawning expression. But when he revealed his plan, Irving was so angry he laughed.

"Sending me out as a target, Zhang Chulan, you're quite the player, aren't you?" Owen tapped his head and said, "I'm a wizard, not an alien. Normally, I can't fight back in the country. But if I could, guess who would be the first person I'd take care of?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled: "Look at what you're saying. I didn't ask you to do anything; I just wanted to borrow your illustrious status."

"What kind of status do I have? Hogwarts may be famous in Europe, but what is it in China? It's just a seven-year vocational school. In other words, I'm at best a teacher at a technical secondary school. What kind of status do I have?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled: "You're being modest. Chairman Zhao told me everything, Brother Ou. Actually, there's nothing I can do about it. You won't be staying much longer before you go back, and you might never come back. But Bao'er and I still have to stay at the company and work, right?"

Owen looked into his eyes, and Zhang Chulan met his gaze, appearing quite open and honest. However, Owen, who was skilled in mind control, could tell from his eyes that this guy was up to no good.

"Okay!" Irving said with a smile, "I'll cooperate with you this time, consider it as owing me a favor."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Brother Ou, hahaha. But we can't be too generous. When we get there, please follow my instructions, okay?"

"Can."

This was the first time that temporary workers from several regions had acted together, so they all created a group chat to facilitate communication. Therefore, the meeting place was fixed. Zhang Chulan, who had arrived a step ahead, did not appear immediately. Instead, he hid in the grass in the distance with Feng Baobao and Owen.

The two of them peeked out furtively, while Owen turned the meadow into a large mattress and lay down comfortably on it.

Owen isn't someone who can't endure hardship, but he won't force himself to suffer if he doesn't want to. Magic is meant to make life easier, so why shouldn't he use it?

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Feng Baobao woke him up: "Let's go, we've been exposed, we don't need to hide anymore."

""

Zhang Chulan's behavior already displeased the others, but when they saw the number of people, their faces darkened even more: "Three people?"

Zhang Chulan laughed and said, "Everyone, don't misunderstand. Bao'er is the temporary worker, and I'm just a temporary assistant. This person isn't from the company. This is Owen Carrot, the head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The company's establishment of diplomatic relations with them this time is mainly due to his presence."

Sure enough, as soon as this introduction was made, everyone's attention fell on Owen. This was Zhang Chulan's plan; he wanted to use Owen, this foreigner, to firmly hold everyone else's attention.

As it turned out, they succeeded. Regardless of which one it was, they all looked at Owen with scrutinizing eyes. Wizards existed in the Inhumans world, but they didn't use magic, so they were all eager to see just how powerful magic really was.

Some people can remain calm, but others cannot. Xiao Zizai pushed up his glasses: "Mr. Carrot, I'm very curious about magic. When would you have some free time to practice with me?"

"OK."

Owen did not refuse. Skills are developed through practice, and magic is no exception. Even someone as powerful as Dumbledore had to diligently memorize spells and practice casting gestures when he was a student.

Even he himself—he trained more than others, which is why he is stronger than others now.

Therefore, Irving is not opposed to sparring; on the contrary, he would be very happy, because sparring is about winning or losing, but fighting is about life or death.

Hearing him agree so readily, Xiao Zizai was a little surprised. This foreigner's personality seemed quite compatible. But when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Chulan smirking, and Xiao Zizai's expression turned wooden again. Compared to the foreigner, this one in front of him was not so good.

Everyone present, even those who hadn't attended the Luo Tianjiao, knew exactly how Zhang Chulan got his nickname "A-Lian." Those who had been hurt by Zhang Chulan's antics on the field had already posted everything he had done online.

It's not that no one wants to embellish, but after adding details, they realize that no matter how they change it, it's not as good as publishing it truthfully without changing a single word.

Criticizing him is essentially whitewashing this guy.

Zhang Chulan knew his reputation, but he didn't care. After laughing, he said, "Then you have to be careful, Brother Xiao. My master told me to avoid using lightning magic in front of this person as much as possible, because he was afraid that he would steal it."

Those present knew even better who Zhang Chulan's advisor was, but it was precisely because they knew that they were even more surprised. What surprised them was the old Celestial Master's evaluation. Judging from these words, this person could learn the Celestial Master's Mansion's thunder magic just by taking a few more glances at him.

Irving spoke slowly and deliberately, then looked at the letter on the table. Xiao Zizai saw it too, opened it directly, and by the time Lao Meng reminded him, it was too late.

The letter, of course, contained not a single word. It quickly turned to ash, becoming the catalyst for the poison. Then, swarms of rats appeared, their eyes red as they charged towards Xiao Zizai.

This unexpected situation didn't cause too much panic among the group. Everyone used their own methods, just like Xiao Zizai, who unleashed his Great Compassion Palm, causing blood to splatter everywhere—

In no time, all the rats that had been attracted were wiped out. Owen didn't lift a finger; he just sat there watching without moving, his expression quite subtle.

Wang Zhenqiu looked over, and Irving didn't flinch, but instead returned a smile.

This foreigner is something else!

For some reason, Wang Zhenqiu suddenly felt worried, so he turned his gaze to Zhang Chulan: "A-Lian, this mission was assigned to the temporary workers by the company. Logically, even your assistant shouldn't be involved, but you're still a company employee. But this person—isn't it inappropriate?"

Zhang Chulan had expected someone to say this, so he spread his hands and said, "I didn't want to either, but I had no choice. This is Chairman Zhao's arrangement. How about—Brother Wang, you talk to Chairman Zhao and let Brother Ou go back to rest? You don't know how worried I am. This person's identity is extraordinary. If he gets hurt, I won't be able to explain it."

Using Chairman Zhao to pressure these people was also part of Zhang Chulan's plan, and it turned out to be particularly effective.

"Everyone, before we take action, there's something I need to clarify—" Xiao Ziyi adjusted his glasses: "I am a patient—"

The others listened with lighter breathing, while Owen began taking notes. After Xiao Zizai finished speaking, Owen asked a few more questions, which Xiao Zizai answered truthfully without a care.

"Mr. Carrot————"

"Just call me Irving."

"Okay, Xiao Ou, do you want to treat my illness?"

"No, this isn't an illness, but rather—" Owen laughed, "an extremely rare talent!"

talent?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, even Xiao Zizai. Then he suddenly laughed and was about to say something when Owen pushed the notebook in front of him: "In here are some talents that I have recorded. You can take a look, and then you will know that you don't have any disease."

Xiao Zizai's English was decent, so he had no trouble reading. He became increasingly happy as he read, and when he finished, he pushed the notebook back: "So, I don't need treatment at all? Then my condition—"

"Didn't you already find a very good solution?"

Xiao Zizai laughed: "Yes, you're absolutely right! Alright, let's go."

The main reason they came to Liupanshui was to catch up with Chen Duo, since Chen Duo had appeared there before. Based on their deductions, she was probably looking for Granny Mei Jinfeng, one of the founders of the Quanxing Sect. So, after discussing it, they decided to go and check it out.

However, Irving had no interest in finding out the details. He followed these people into the mountains, where they were ambushed.

Owen genuinely didn't want to take action, because these matters had absolutely nothing to do with him. The only reason he came was because he was too bored by himself, and the company was negotiating with the Ministry of Magic. If he were to run around alone, it would make the company seem insincere.

In case of any safety issues that might arise, which would be difficult to handle, Zhang Chulan simply brought him along. However, no one knew that Zhang Chulan would bring Owen along on the mission.

Chairman Zhao thought Zhang Chulan would make the arrangements—but he didn't expect that this kid would drag Owen into this mess for Feng Baobao's sake.

Seeing a masked person rushing towards him, Owen looked around and, finding no one to help him, had no choice but to draw his small wand and cast a disarming spell using the technique of silent casting. When he saw a toy gun flying towards him, he didn't catch it but dodged it.

Black Pipe flashed behind him, caught the toy gun, and upon closer inspection, his expression changed: "A magical artifact?"

Irving's lips twitched, and then he flew into the air: "Guys, it's a bit dangerous here, I'd better get out of the way."

"Little Ou, you're so sensible!"

Xiao Zizai immediately began to act all compassionate and merciful, and the scene instantly became much more heated.

These days, Irving no longer cares about how others address him. He simply flies through the air, watching the battles unfold. Only when Wang Zhenqiu takes down an enemy with a hug does he raise an eyebrow slightly: This kind of attack—no, it shouldn't be called an attack, but rather a way of engaging the enemy—is quite interesting.

The way to completely incapacitate an enemy without harming them is far more sophisticated than magic.
