Chapter 195 Did I Say You Can Leave?
Jiang Li's expression remained unchanged as he easily deflected the evil curse she launched at him. He even had enough energy left to cast a protective spell on other passers-by who were almost hurt.
Seeing her actions, Bella felt that she was looked down upon, and her expression became distorted.
"Kill this woman for me. The Dark Lord wants to kill her." Bella shouted loudly.
She madly fired evil curses at Jiang Li, completely ignoring the attacks from others, only wanting to kill Jiang Li.
Bella used the Fiery Fire Curse to attack indiscriminately. The Death Eaters next to her were frightened by her madness and quickly moved away from her.
"go to hell!"
Accompanied by Bella's iconic laughter, the flame-transformed snake head began to indiscriminately attack all living objects.
Jiang Li raised his magic wand and dispersed the flames that opened their mouths and showed their huge fangs towards her. He looked at Bella and said, "It seems that you have used up all your tricks. Now it's my turn.
She waved her wand, and her magic power spread to the surrounding objects. All the objects turned into sharp blades and shot towards the Death Eaters.
When Bella saw her actions, she finally realized that Jiang Li was not as simple as she had imagined.
She took two steps back and tried to leave.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Jiang Li raised his wand and quickly cast a spell to trap Bella, knocking the wand out of her hand.
Some Death Eaters saw that something was wrong and tried to escape, but they were too slow.
The already formed blades stabbed towards them. They seemed to be given life and began to spin in the air, forming invisible blades that were extremely sharp and flashed with cold light.
The Death Eaters hurriedly cast Shield Charms on themselves, trying to disperse the sharp blades that were stabbing towards them.
The blades pierced through their magic barriers and pierced right through their bodies, pinning them hard to the ground.
Several Death Eaters who tried to escape were also stopped by Snape's spells.
Bella, who was tied up, suffered the most. The sharp blade pierced through her palms and pressed her against the sculpture next to her.
The look she gave Jiang Li was finally tinged with a hint of fear.
In fact, Jiang Li would rather kill these people directly, but there are too many of them here, and being seen would cause unnecessary trouble, so he avoided their vital points to prevent people from dying here and having to explain to the Ministry of Magic.
When the Aurors noticed the noise and rushed over, the battle was over. All they could see were the Death Eaters nailed to the ground and some brave citizens who had come to watch.
Jiang Li and Snape Disapparated away long after the battle.
"You can cast spells silently, cast high-level spells instantly, and not be outdone by facing multiple Death Eaters. You are more powerful than I thought."
When Jiang Li and Snape were halfway through their run, they met Dumbledore who was waiting for them.
Dumbledore looked at Snape approvingly and said, "You are better than some professors."
"Thank you for the compliment." Snape said lightly.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Li crossed his arms across his chest, his silver hair falling on his coat.
I can't just come here to praise Snape.
"I saw the battle just now, Gardenia, and I think I need to re-evaluate your abilities."
Dumbledore looked at Jiang Li deeply and said in a calm tone: "I hope you can join us. For the peace of the wizarding world, we need you."
Before Jiang Li could say anything, he felt his hand being clenched.
She did not look at Snape, but shook his hand, smiled at Dumbledore and said, "Okay, so how much is the monthly salary? My requirement is that it cannot be less than what I earn now."
"..."
Dumbledore looked at Jiang Li helplessly and said, "I have no ill intentions."
"I know, but I'm a businessman and I never do business at a loss."
Jiang Li pointed her wand in the air, and the snowflakes in the sky automatically moved around the three of them. She looked at Dumbledore and said, "Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
"You're still as sharp as ever."
Dumbledore took out a bundle from his robe and handed it to Jiang Li, "This is something Pernie gave you. She said she already has a clue to what you want her to find."
Jiang Li took Dumbledore's package and said with a little disdain: "Next time don't say something weird and make my kid nervous."
Hearing this, Snape's body stiffened slightly.
Dumbledore glanced at Snape with a smile. There was some understanding in his eyes, "So your engagement is true."
Jiang Li nodded casually and said to Dumbledore: "Anything else?"
Seeing Jiang Li's expression as if asking him not to be disturbed, Dumbledore smiled helplessly.
It seems that this old man is not popular.
"I heard a piece of news that Voldemort knew that you were not dead. He sent people to deal with you. I hope you can be careful."
Although Jiang Li was somewhat out of control, Dumbledore had to admit that she was a very good ally and had solved many problems for him.
"Got it. Thanks for the reminder."
Jiang Li did not deliberately put on a cold face in response to other people's kindness, and his eyes and brows became much gentler.
"I recently got a batch of protective alchemical items. If you are interested, I can sell them to you at a lower price."
"I thought that given our friendship, you would give the thing to me." Dumbledore said with a kind smile.
Jiang Li: “…” You’re dreaming.
She waved the package in her hand and said, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Without waiting for Dumbledore to answer, Jiang Li Disapparated away with Snape.
"Gardenia, I'm not a child."
When Jiang Li got home and was about to unpack the package, he heard Snape suddenly blurt out these words without any context.
She turned her head and saw Snape looking at her seriously.
"So don't say such shameful names in front of outsiders."
Jiang Li thought he was angry, and explained: "I don't think of you as something else, I just..."
"I know." Snape interrupted Jiang Li, "I just think this name is not suitable to be called in front of outsiders."
Jiang Li:?
Somewhat strange.
Jiang Li never delved too deeply into things she didn't understand. She walked up to Snape, ruffled his hair, and went to the alchemy room to open her package.
There were some precious alchemical materials in it. Because they were highly destructive, and because Pernie was afraid that something might happen during the delivery by owl, she asked Dumbledore, who happened to be there, to bring the package to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li carefully took out a black crystal core containing powerful energy, put it into the alchemical items he had already made, and began to extract their power.
This is what was left behind after an Obscurus went mad and died. It is said to be related to the Obscurus, but no one has yet analyzed what this substance is. All we know is that it contains enormous magical power.
But it could also be something the Obscure got hold of somewhere else.
After all, according to records, other Silent Ones did not experience this phenomenon after dying in magic riots.
This kind of thing is priceless, so Jiang Li asked Nicolas Flamel and his wife to keep an eye out for it. Unexpectedly, the thing was delivered to her so soon.
The power of this thing was extremely violent. When Jiang Li extracted it, cracks began to appear on the wall of the glass cup next to it.
She calmly drew magic patterns on it, stabilizing and compressing the violent magic power.
Jiang Li suddenly became curious about the composition of magic power.
Some little wizards are so powerful when their magic goes haywire, while some others have such little power when they use their magic normally.
Is it true that everyone's magic power is destined to be unchangeable?
She took out the object containing the black substance and placed it in the center of the already carved magic circle.
[No, let me go, I can give you everything you want.]
When the black substance that had been pretending to be dead sensed the magic circle, it felt a powerful breath that could destroy it. It finally felt scared and began to beg Jiang Li to let it go.
Jiang Li had an indifferent expression as he injected the violent magic power he had just extracted into the magic circle.
A terrifying and violent destructive force immediately rose up in the formation and began to strangle all matter within the formation.
Jiang Li looked at the black substance that he had been unable to destroy before. After being destroyed by the magic circle, it immediately became silent.
The magic circle glowed with a terrifying green light.
Jiang Li didn't get close and took away all the other things. After all, if they were accidentally rolled in, they would be gone, and these things were quite expensive.
The energy of the magic circle was even stronger than Jiang Li had imagined. It took a whole day and night for it to slowly stop working.
If I had known that the black magic stone contained so much energy, I shouldn't have put it all into it just now.
Jiang Li thought with some regret, wondering if he could get another identical magic stone.
She opened her palm, and in it lay a beautiful, glowing blue butterfly.
This should be the energy plundered by the black substance.
She could feel the rich vitality and luck inside it. If used as a magic stone, it would definitely be better than other magic stones.
But, forget it.
Jiang Li loosened his hand and let the butterfly fly away.
She looked at the butterflies circling in the air with a gentle look in her eyes.
"Go, go back to where you belong."
The butterfly circled in the room, touched Jiang Li's cheek, flapped its wings, and flew out of the alchemy room.
At Philip Manor, Vina was lying on the bed, her face extremely pale. She looked at her mother who was wiping tears beside her and said softly, "Mom, don't be sad. This is not your fault."
