Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 128 Go and Obtain Glory

However, despite making such a bold claim, Murphy currently has no way to directly create a magical hospital.

However, he hadn't originally intended to send the bitten shop assistants to any hospital for treatment.

The wounds from the werewolf bites are still healing, and we don't know when they will be fully healed. Are we going to let these employees sleep soundly with their full wages until then?

Are they capitalists or am I the capitalist?

After signing the mind seal confidentiality agreement, Murphy brought the shop assistant and the female healer named Elodie Russell to the magic research institute.

It just so happens that the Transformation Research Group needs werewolves for their research on "Higher Animagus," and this research is also beneficial for the treatment of their wounds, killing two birds with one stone.

To help them adapt to their new environment, Murphy arranged for some wizards who had arrived earlier to show them around the research institute, using these guides to help them accept the fact that they were on a sinking ship more quickly.

After settling the staff, Murphy returned to the Potions Master in Diagon Alley.

"Isaac, give me a list of the remaining employees' names and addresses," Murphy instructed the store manager. "Starting tomorrow, I will assign someone to protect their safety."

Previously, we'd been having the wizards at the Watchers Security Shop catch pests; now it's time to let them fulfill their original purpose.

"By the way, did you report the attack by the werewolves to the Auror? ...I mean, did you report it to the police?"

"Huh?" Izak was a little confused. "Aurors? But boss, aren't you a black... cough, aren't you on bad terms with them?"

What Isaac was trying to say was, aren't you a dark wizard?

If you expect Aurors to stand up for you after something happens, aren't you overthinking it?

"Besides, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let Aurors into our shop?"

"Who said that?" Murphy retorted righteously. "We're operating legally, what are we afraid of?"

"However, the report should have stated that the employee was attacked on their way to and from get off work, and that they should have been responsible for protecting the employee's safety. There was no need to enter the store."

Murphy estimated that it was indeed unlikely that the group of Aurors would come to protect him.

Whether you come or not is one thing, whether I report it or not is another.

If I report an attack and you don't come, that's a different story.

……

As expected, Isaac reported to the Ministry of Magic for three consecutive days that the wizards in the shop had been attacked, but the Auror Command completely ignored the reports.

Who doesn't know that the Supreme Potion was created by that dark wizard Murphy?

Murphy just got rid of Scrimgeour last year, leaving all the Aurors humiliated and hating him to the core.

The Aurors are too busy laughing at him to help him fend off the werewolves?

Just kidding, the werewolves and the dark wizard are fighting, isn't that hilarious? Wouldn't it be better to just sit back, eat some sunflower seeds, and watch the show?

But soon they realized that something seemed a little off.

First, Rita Skeeter wrote articles in the Daily Prophet for several days in a row attacking the Aurors for "holding their positions without doing their jobs" and "turning a blind eye to wizards being harmed by werewolves."

Murphy then published an article in the Daily Prophet titled "How to Protect Yourself When Aurors Become the Minds of the Powerful."

The opening section quotes extensively from Rita Skeeter's report, explaining the werewolf attack on the Potion Master's employees and pointing out that this was not only a blow to the Potion Master's, but also a serious public safety incident.

"If werewolves can attack the staff of the Potions of Supreme Power at will, who can guarantee they won't attack other wizards? Are we supposed to pin our safety on the 'reason' of werewolves?"

He then explained the Supreme Potion Shop's self-rescue measures, including providing generous compensation to injured employees, making every effort to treat them, and repeatedly seeking help from the Auror Command.

"But the response we received was disheartening."

"It seems that due to some personal grudge, they would rather watch those innocent employees die."

The conclusion was then drawn that, "We had no choice but to protect ourselves."

"I cannot stand by and watch my employees suffer this kind of harm for no reason; I must protect their safety!"

"Aurors may not care about their lives, but I do!"

"An Auror can turn a blind eye to evil, but I cannot!"

"If the Aurors can't protect them, then I will!"

Ultimately, Murphy gave Watchers Wizard Security a boost.

"You may have already met them. They have helped many families troubled by pests. In the future, they will take on more responsibility and provide security services for the entire wizarding community."

"From the smallest pests to the largest black wizards, they will protect you and your family from anything that poses a threat. They are approachable, they are formidable fighters, and they will be your most loyal guardians, your kindest friends and neighbors."

Yes, Murphy plans to take advantage of this period of Auror inaction to bring the Wizard Security Shop to the forefront.

He never intended for the Wizard Security Shop to become his secret armed force; he wanted them to be a substitute for the Aurors, a wizarding force under his control that could walk in the sunlight.

Since the Aurors have chosen to withdraw from this matter, then don't blame me for taking over the high ground.

……

Leveraging its favorable public opinion, Watchers Wizard Security Store has launched another round of recruitment.

The original group of "battle wizards" who were engaged in pest control have now been sent to the front lines to fight the werewolves. They work in pairs, with each pair protecting a clerk of the Supreme Potions, and they communicate with each other using a modified "fairy coin".

If any group encounters werewolves, the other groups can learn of it through Fairy Coins and immediately teleport to provide support.

The staff were all a little nervous, but Murphy wasn't particularly worried.

Before setting off, he gathered all the shop assistants together and gave a speech.

"I know you're all very nervous, after all, the other side is the legendary werewolf, and everyone knows that werewolves are extremely dangerous creatures. They are not like the goblins or vixens you've dealt with before; they are cunning and intelligent beings. In their wolf form, they have fur that can resist spells and claws that can tear flesh apart. Their bites can even transform wizards into something like them..."

"However, I want to tell you that you can be more cautious in your tactics, but you don't need to be afraid of your enemy."

"Because I'll tell you a secret: you are stronger than them, you are far stronger than werewolves!"

"Fellow Watchers, have you forgotten the training you underwent?"

"For the past year, you've been training in spells for at least one to two hours every day. How many times have you used the Armor Charm? How many times have you used the Disarming Charm? How many times have you practiced with each other? Can you even count them yourselves?"

"Every Watcher present is proficient in Apparition, Armor Charm, Disarm Charm, Stun Charm, Petrify Charm, Levitate Charm, and Shatter Charm. Your dueling record is second to none among trainee Aurors."

"And werewolves are not as scary as you think."

"It's not a full moon now, so they can't transform at will. They're fighting in human form and don't have the various buffs of their werewolf form. They're just ordinary wizards."

"As wizards, the vast majority of them have not received formal education and may not know as many spells as Hogwarts students."

"I dare say they haven't had much combat training either; they're just a bunch of barbarians who can transform into monsters on certain days."

"Each of you carries at least ten bottles of white essence and enough silver powder. Your robes have also been enchanted with spells to ward off evil. You are fully armed, while the other side is just a group of homeless vagrants."

"They are no match for you!"

"Watchers, it's time for you to take the stage."

"Remember, at any time, Wizard Security Shop is your support, and I am your support. Any injured team member will receive the best treatment in the wizarding world. I will do this for my apothecaries, and I will do it for you who are fighting on the front lines."

"Therefore, have no reservations and go forth to gain glory."
