RNP Chapter 24 Good Friday of the Black Wizard
Chapter 24 Good Friday of the Black Wizard
It's not just biological happiness, but also spiritual happiness.
Especially since Chu Yang was just an ordinary person before going to the Soul Palace, the contrast made him even more aware of this indescribable pleasure.
It's like playing a video game. You fight a monster that has high rewards, but the damage you deal is negligible. Then you come back with a cheat and one hit deals 999 damage, instantly killing the monster. That feeling is incredibly satisfying.
Chu Yang was in this state, not wanting to stop, so he took out books from his backpack and continued reading until dinner time, when his stomach started growling with hunger, and he reluctantly put down the books in his hands.
In just a short while, Chu Yang had finished reading three popular science books: "A History of Magic," "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms," and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Chu Yang stretched, a tingling sensation spreading through his body. He murmured, "If I could study like this in my past life, I probably could have gotten into a world-renowned university in a year or two, right?"
After a quick dinner downstairs, Chu Yang hurriedly prepared to return to his room.
"Hey, slow down, slow down, little wizard who's about to start school, why are you in such a hurry?" Old Tom looked up and reminded Chu Yang as he walked down the stairs.
"Excuse me, Mr. Tom, I'm in a hurry to go back and read!" Chu Yang replied, then tiptoed back to his room.
"He's really eager to learn..." Tom was taken aback. In his memory, most young wizards who came to Diagon Alley for the first time would get lost in the wonderful magical world outside, and very few could settle down and read books here.
Back in his room, Chu Yang first let the owl out to feed it, and then eagerly took out "Theory of Magic" to read.
Compared to popular science books, "The Theory of Magic" has a much higher reading threshold, and the time required for Chu Yang to understand and memorize it is also much longer.
It wasn't until darkness fell that Chu Yang, feeling slightly exhausted, put down his book and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, just like the day before, Chu Yang stayed in his room reading "Theory of Magic" and "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense," also known as "Defense Against the Dark Arts." He read the two books over and over again, more than a dozen times.
As evening fell, Chu Yang left the Leaky Cauldron, wearing a hoodie under a wizard's robe.
He's going hunting in Knockdown Alley tonight.
……
Turndown Lane and Diagon Alley are connected by a hidden alleyway that few people travel back and forth on because too many ill-intentioned people are watching.
In wizarding families, parents warn their children from a very young age not to go to Knockturn Alley, a gathering place for dark wizards.
If there is any emergency, adult wizards will usually use Floo Powder to quickly travel back and forth to Knockturn Alley, while those with stronger abilities will choose Apparition.
If Chu Yang were just running errands, he would also choose Floo Powder, but he's here to hunt today.
The more greedy people who target him, the better!
Defense Against the Dark Arts taught Chu Yang the incantations and opening moves of dark wizards when casting dark magic, also known as the "casting animation".
Chu Yang's Observation Haki helps him predict his opponent's movements, allowing him to avoid them in advance.
With Chu Yang's current physical abilities, even without using the Body Flicker Technique from the Naruto world, most black wizards would have a hard time hitting him.
This is the source of Chu Yang's confidence in hunting the Black Wizard.
An 11-year-old boy swaggered across the street connecting to Flip-Over Alley, unsurprisingly attracting a lot of attention.
Chu Yang deliberately let the money bag fall to the ground, and several Galleons jingled and rolled out of the bag.
Several pale-faced, emaciated black wizards nearly bulged their eyes out.
Chu Yang quickly picked up the gold gallon.
Faced with the greedy gazes around him, he panicked and scurried into a small alley.
Immediately, a dark wizard followed Chu Yang into the pitch-black alley, emitting sinister laughter.
Chu Yang cried out in alarm and ran even faster!
"Little wizard, didn't your parents tell you what places you can't go in Diagon Alley?" A bald wizard with sunken eyes and a fierce appearance chased after Chu Yang, laughing loudly.
At the entrance to the alley, a group of dark wizards stood guard outside. Hearing the bald wizard's rampant laughter, they also smiled.
But not long after, the alleyway suddenly became quiet again, and there was no sound for a long time, as if no one had ever gone in.
Staring at the dark intersection, the dark wizards looked at each other in bewilderment.
Logically speaking, disciplining a child shouldn't take this long.
"Who's going in to take a look?"
"York, why don't you go in and check? Are you afraid of the dark?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Amidst the jeers of a group of dark wizards, the sickly-looking York, enraged, snapped, "Fine, I'll go! Shut up, all of you!"
After saying that, he walked in, trembling, supporting himself against the wall.
The laughter behind him, after a brief pause, suddenly erupted.
"Hahaha, York, you walk like a girl!"
York cast an illumination spell to dispel the surrounding darkness and strode inside, only to trip over something and stumble and fall to the ground.
The ground beneath him felt as soft as a cushion, and when he looked down, he saw the bald wizard who had been chasing Chu Yang earlier.
York's pupils suddenly contracted!
He looked around and saw a large area lying on the ground.
The black wizards on the ground were not dead, but they had been stripped down to their wizard robes.
York was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and screamed at the top of his lungs. The dark wizards outside rushed into the dark and narrow alleyway and were also startled by the scene before them.
At this moment, Chu Yang had already left the Overturned Alley and returned to the Broken Cauldron Bar.
He poured all his spoils onto the bed, the clatter of coins sounding like a magnificent orchestral concert.
They had three different currencies: gold Galleons, silver Shekos, and bronze Nats.
This trip earned me nearly a thousand Galleons.
"The dark wizards aren't having an easy time either. Their richest days were probably when Voldemort's power was at its peak. It's just a pity that times have changed." Chu Yang said with some regret, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
He didn't use any magic throughout the entire process, so naturally he didn't attract anyone's attention.
With a source of income, Chu Yang no longer had any worries about spending money. He first went to Flourish Bookstore to buy some textbooks for higher grades, and then stayed in his room reading.
For the next month, Chu Yang lived a very regular life, reading during the day and changing into different forms to "work" at night.
He's practically the Batman who's active in the darkness of Knockturn Alley.
The carefree days passed in a flash, and September 1st arrived quickly. Chu Yang packed his luggage, left the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and headed to King's Cross Station.
Platform 9¾ is under a spell; Muggles are unaware of it and will unconsciously avoid it, just like at the Leaky Cauldron.
