Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 147 Moga!

North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

A flock of crows is having a meeting on a dead tree.

Apart from Murphy, the British witch raven, everyone else present was a friend or relative of Miss "Caw Caw Caw," the American raven.

"Gua Gu Gu" is actually a transliteration. If the name of this American crow were translated into human language, it would probably mean: "Insects are delicious."

"Quack, worms are delicious. Where did this bird come from? He looks quite different from us, not good-looking, very ugly," commented "Gugaji," the eldest cousin of Quack. "I don't approve of this marriage."

Miss Gugu plucked a few hairs from her older cousin's neck with her mouth. "Gugu, get out of here! You're the ugly one!"

"Coo, fine bird from afar," an old crow croaked, its voice thick with Native American accent, "Why are you looking for that dreadful giant reptile?"

Murphy, sensing an opportunity, said, "Gah, respected veteran, I have a reason to find out. It concerns my painful past, which I have never spoken of. But in exchange for your help, I am willing to tell my story."

"Quack, my mother and father used to live on this land. They hunted in the jungle and soared in the sky. They were respected hunters and singers."

"But one day, they accidentally wandered into the reptile's territory and awakened the sleeping monster."

"It first turned my mother to stone, and my father, filled with grief and anger, swore revenge, but in the end he only left a wound on the reptile's nose and fell into eternal sleep."

"Gah, my uncle witnessed all of this and told me about my parents' last moments. I swear I will make that reptile pay for its crime in blood."

"Gu, we tried many methods, but that reptile was too powerful. My uncle was also killed in a surprise attack. Since then, I have been all alone in this world."

"Gugu, you're so pitiful." Miss Gugu was so moved by Murphy's story that she almost cried.

"Guh, no, I'm very lucky. Just when I was about to despair, I met a clever hairless ape who called itself 'Guji,' and it possessed a peculiar ability called 'Moga'..."

Guji means "wizard" and Moga means magic.

Unfortunately, crows' beaks aren't as sharp as humans'; this was the closest sound he could make.

"It can communicate with me through 'Moga.' Having heard my story, it decided to help me take revenge. It taught me 'Moga,' and now I am incredibly powerful!"

As he spoke, black smoke suddenly rose around Murphy, and in an instant he rushed toward the "big cousin," snatched the twig from its mouth, and suddenly returned to the tree. Then he flicked his mouth, and "snap," the twig accurately pinned a desert lizard to the ground.

"Gah, I've mastered my skills. Glug! It's time to seek justice for my parents! Respected old bird, please tell me the location of that reptile."

"Caw caw caw..." The old crow was shocked. In his entire life, he had never heard such a dramatic and heart-stirring story!

Although the story is full of loopholes, the crows are not yet able to see the flaws.

"Caw caw..." The flock of crows were also shocked. The move that Murphy just showed was too amazing. It was like a divine bird descending from the sky, unmatched!

Finally, the old crow recovered from its shock. "Caw! Wow, a magnificent bird from afar! Your strength has left a deep impression on us birds! To be honest, we caw-cawers have suffered under those reptiles for far too long!"

"That reptile runs rampant. All the birds that invade its nest area are killed and frozen solid, unable to move. But it occupies the best water spots, and every year, several of our little birds are killed by it in order to get water."

"Good bird from afar, you have traveled far away, but your parents were born here, so perhaps you are relatives of our Cuckoo family!"

"I will tell you about that reptile's nest, and if you can truly avenge your parents, our Cuckoo Clan will make you king!"

……

Auror Command Center.

"You mean, Murphy went to America?" Kingsley asked, listening to a report from one of his teammates.

"Yes, one of our informants in Knockover Alley said he asked someone for a key to a door to America, apparently to find the petrified lizard," the team member said. "He also had people searching for the petrified lizard's venom before, and we don't know what he's planning to do yet."

Does he want to run away?

That's not impossible, but he received the news far too quickly.

Perhaps someone in the Auror command tipped him off... Given Murphy's current level of infiltration into the Aurors, it's unlikely, but not entirely impossible.

"Notify the U.S. Ministry of Magic that we have a wanted criminal who has fled to their territory, and ask them to assist in his capture."

Whether he ran away or left temporarily, this was not entirely a bad thing for the Aurors' next move.

"Prepare to act immediately. Seal off all of Murphy's properties in Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and Hogsmeade. Also, awaken those Deep Ones. The time has come; reveal your identities."

……

A dozen minutes later, hundreds or even thousands of crows flew in from above a desert valley.

They either hovered in the sky or landed on the branches around the valley.

They were all the crows within a radius of over a hundred miles.

They had fought many times over food in the past, but today they have all gathered here to witness the birth of a crow hero.

Or, witness his death.

It doesn't matter, there's always something to enjoy either way.

Some crows brought their families to watch the show, and some even brought several caterpillars as snacks. The crows cawed loudly, eagerly anticipating the start of the good show.

Murphy was also shocked by the overwhelming momentum. Goodness, how much do you guys love watching a show!

It was quite fun, though. When he turned around, he saw the Cuckoo Clan cheering him on, and even the crows in the atmosphere group were singing.

You know what, these American bastards are actually pretty good.

Suddenly, a roar, seemingly from the Jurassic period, came from a distant cave.

The cave was located beneath a piece of weathered shale, completely covered, and even if he surveyed the area ten more times from the air, he was unlikely to find it.

A short while later, a huge, eight-legged, yellowish-brown monitor lizard strolled out of the cave.

"Step back," Murphy said. "I'll use 'Moga.' I'll fight in the form of a hairless ape."

The crows quickly made way for Murphy, who then transformed into a hairless ape in a cloud of black smoke.

The petrified lizard spotted Murphy and instinctively sensed danger. It suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out two streams of venom. The venom spray was extremely fast and had a range of more than ten meters. It could use this move to hit flying crows and petrify them.

Murphy was prepared. Suddenly, he Apparated and disappeared from the petrified lizard's sight, appearing directly above it, which was the petrified lizard's blind spot.

He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

The spell struck the petrified lizard's head, but it had little effect; the lizard remained warily looking around.

The petrified lizard's thick hide is just as effective against spells as a fire dragon's, and ordinary spells are completely ineffective against it.

Well, Murphy didn't really expect ordinary spells to work.

"Veravitto!" The rocks beneath the petrified lizard's feet suddenly transformed into several vines, wrapping around all eight of its legs several times before returning to their stone form, binding it in place.

Then Murphy took out a heavy-duty ramming machine, taller than a person, from the Seamless Extension Bag, let it fall from the air, put it on the petrified lizard's head, and pressed the switch on it.

The next second, the hydraulic hammer slammed into the petrified lizard's head with a loud thud, instantly plunging it into a deep, infant-like sleep.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!" The crows cheered for Murphy's victory, taking to the air and circling in mid-air.

They took the "magic" that Murphy mentioned as Murphy's name.

Murphy ignored them, put on a pair of dragon-skin gloves, and prepared to extract venom from the petrified lizard's mouth. Suddenly, he heard a sharp cry, and when he looked up, he saw a huge black shadow that blotted out the sky and swooped down.

Thunderbird!
