Chapter 196 Black Dog, an Ominous Sign? Not even worth a single hair of my boss, Ethan!
Chapter 197 Black Dog, an Ominous Sign? Not even worth a single hair of my boss, Ethan!
All that could be seen was the Necronomicon, saturated with the power of life.
The pages, which were originally dry and stuck together, gradually became moist.
The book was so thick and heavy that it was larger than an Oxford dictionary.
Ethan simply sat down cross-legged.
He slammed the heavy hammer, which was imbued with the sorrow and lament of the departed souls, to the ground.
He read it with great interest.
The most relatable episode
The following pages are mostly about the book's owner's daily research and travelogues.
For example, exploring villages that actually summon evil creatures.
The reason why the walls of the castle always creak and groan.
Or perhaps climb that towering and bizarre mountain range.
A true fitness enthusiast.
One punch could probably take down ten Voldemors.
"That's great!"
Ethan was filled with envy.
Although they are all biographies, the text and illustrations made Ethan seem thoughtful.
Inspiration 1
Finally, Ethan saw Mr. Black's handwriting.
I can finally allow my daughter to remain human on the night of the full moon—but it's not enough.
Her blood is mixed with the filthy blood of werewolves! How could the pure Black family tolerate such scum?!
Upon reading this, Ethan frowned.
As expected of an old-fashioned, pure-blooded family.
They place great importance on lineage.
Stereotypes once again scored highly.
My ultimate goal is to completely cleanse my daughter's bloodline of its filth and impurity.
I studied this Necronomicon all night and made an astonishing discovery!
However, this research material is extremely valuable and cannot be shown to outsiders casually. I have stored it all in the Black family mansion.
Only those who are recognized can receive it.
Ethan: ? ?
That's it?
He flipped through the pages in disbelief and discovered that the guy had actually died right there!
Damn it, what did you find out?!
Did they learn to cut chapters out of context from some author on a certain website?!
Ethan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and murmured to himself:
"The Black family mansion—it seems I have no choice but to make a trip there."
Just right.
Ethan was also very curious.
Who exactly are Mr. Blake, who has produced so many research results, and his daughter?
The Black family home has now become the headquarters for the fight against Voldemort's Order of the Phoenix.
They exist discreetly, avoiding public attention.
Ethan: "If I were to go directly to Professor Lupin or Old Man Deng and say I wanted to go to the Black family ancestral home (the Order of the Phoenix), they would probably have to really investigate my background—"
"Fortunately, besides them, I have another candidate, a better candidate—"
Sirius Black!
Ethan's eyes sparkled.
A kind smile appeared on his face.
"It's good you escaped, saves me the trouble of going back to jail to bail you out—I'm sure Sirius is longing to go home, his mother (picture) is waiting for him~"
Ethan jumped to his feet and shouted, "I can't breathe!"
"Then, let's name the next operation 'Sirius Capture'... cough, no, that's not it."
"It's the Sirius Welcoming Project!"
How can the matter of the little wizard be described as an arrest?
Just then.
A piece of paper suddenly fell from the pages of the book.
It's as smooth as scraping butter with a hot spatula.
She floated down, but Ethan caught her with his magic.
You have obtained the extraordinary material "A Corner of Territory".
[A small piece of land, but one you can carry in your pocket.]
It is said that this was due to a certain lord who constantly sought to control the land beneath the demons—and he succeeded.
[You can paint on it and unfold it at any time to pull nearby creatures into the artwork.]
[Soul Fusion Increased by 1%]
It happened in a flash.
Ethan's previously expended magic was instantly replenished.
It has been revitalized, making Ethan's hair sparkle!
"Phew—that feels so good!"
Ethan squinted his eyes and sighed contentedly.
Then he looked down at the page he was holding—[A Corner of Territory.]
It's like a mobile version of the ancient city of Sein!
"This is good stuff!"
Ethan exclaimed in surprise.
I stroked the soft canvas, about the size of my palm.
"Although the canvas isn't as large as a mural, it's portable and can be used anytime, anywhere; its main advantage is surprise!"
"Perhaps it can be used as subject matter for a painting depicting the capture of Sirius Black—"
Ethan thought.
Satisfied, I have now acquired this small territory.
One last glance at the end of the rushing river, at the faint golden light deep within the mist.
He turned around, picked up the heavy hammer again, and walked towards the door he had come from.
Tonight's trip was incredibly rewarding!
at the same time.
Outside Luna's house, in the forest not far away.
A group of wizard village residents were trembling and lying in the bushes, staring in terror at the pure white door that had been transformed from a giant snake.
Not long ago.
A piercing scream came from inside.
Combined with that deathly chilling aura.
They were even more convinced that:
This is the legendary Gates of Hell!!
"Has it finally come to summoning the demon—?"
The leading wizard swallowed hard, a resolute look appearing in his eyes!
"Guys, don't be afraid!"
"We can't let this continue! We must rise up! We must stop this evil plan from being born!"
"Stop the evil plan!!"
The wizards around them cheered themselves on.
Just then.
The doors were pushed open with a loud rumble.
Everyone held their breath.
But what came out was not some terrifying demon.
Instead, it was a masked man carrying a heavy silver hammer.
Glug glug.
On the heavy hammer, several blood-red eyeballs rotated simultaneously.
Zzzzz-
Their gaze paused.
It began to twist and deform, flashing various colors.
then.
The masked man looked over as if he had something in mind.
The wind swayed, revealing half of his chin.
Then, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up in a smile.
Like a butcher who has spotted his prey.
"—.Ah, ahhhhh!!!"
Screams of agony instantly echoed through the jungle.
Outside.
Watching the figures of the group scrambling and crawling away.
Ethan lifted the "goddess's skirt," blinked, and exclaimed:
"I'm so shy—"
I was originally planning to greet these villagers.
pity.
I'll have to do it next time~
a few days later.
Ethan made an appointment with Harry, who lived in the Broken Axe Bar.
Let's go to Diagon Alley together and buy all the school supplies.
"Oh, Ethan! Long time no see," Harry greeted hesitantly.
Looking at Ethan, he finally couldn't help but ask:
"Have you taken on any dragon hunting jobs?"
Ethan was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
He wore a cowboy hat with a turned-up brim, leather armor, and high-top leather boots. He carried a gleaming silver rope spear on his back and a bundle of chains at his waist.
It doesn't seem like they came to Diagon Alley to shop.
They came to Diagon Alley to hunt wild animals.
Standing on the cobblestone pavement of Diagon Alley, it's practically a landmark.
Harry has already noticed.
The girls around him kept turning their heads to look at Ethan.
This is even more attention-grabbing than the one Gilderoy Lockhart garnered last year.
Ron, my best buddy, you'll always be my playmate!
Harry thought to himself, feeling uneasy under the scrutiny of everyone around him, and shrank back a little.
Ethan was completely unaware.
Rather, it would be strange for Ethan if he didn't receive any attention.
"You're half right, Harry."
Ethan slapped the chain around his waist.
A bright, cheerful smile spread across his handsome face, making the girls around him gasp in surprise.
"I'm going to catch a 'big black dog'."
"It might be just as troublesome as a dragon."
Oh, so even Ethan's pets have to be caught fresh.
Harry thought to himself.
He readily agreed and said, "Then let's go to the bookstore and browse around."
Entering the third grade.
With elective courses available, they need to buy even more books.
Harry: "So, did you end up taking Divination, Ethan?"
Near the end of the second term, Harry remembered Ethan struggling with whether or not to choose the fortune-telling option.
The original quote was: "What if I study for a whole semester and still don't grow a third eye?"
Harry felt that this was not a metaphor.
Ethan said lightly, "No, I didn't choose."
"I finally realized that you don't have to choose to attend classes; if I'm interested, I can still audit them."
"It's just that there's no final exam."
Harry was immediately filled with respect.
She even wants to audit the class! Is this what a top student is like?!
They all chose them with extreme caution and reluctance.
Chatting casually, the two arrived at Flourish and Blotts bookstore.
Holding the book list, Ethan politely addressed the disheveled, gloved shop assistant:
"I want to buy 'The Monster Book of Monsters'."
The shop assistant immediately looked as if he had lost his father.
Ethan looked at the squeaking, brown, plush book in the cage and murmured:
"If I became a professor, I would choose such interesting teaching materials—I could even compile them myself!"
Harry: "--Haha, whatever makes you happy."
Anyway.
Regardless of whether such a future will occur.
Having grown up and left Hogwarts, I'm definitely "unable to enjoy" it.
() Hehe, "Here you go."
The shop assistant, clutching a monster book that was being chewed on incessantly, shoved it at Ethan with a look of utter despair.
"Be careful! It might bite!"
The shop assistant's eyes suddenly widened.
All that could be seen was the monster book that he had been tearing at just a second ago.
But in Ethan's hands, it immediately became docile!
It was as docile as a kitten, purring softly.
Shop assistant: ? ! !

Why is this book even playing with changing faces?!
Amidst the shop assistant's shocked gaze, Ethan stroked the thick cover of the monster book and smiled gently:
"Hehe, so good~"
The monster book: trembling, afraid to move.
Apart from the Yokai Book.
Ethan also bought "Elementary Ancient Runes" and "Ancient Runes Comparison Table" for the Ancient Runes class, "Seeing the Future Through the Fog" for the Divination class, and "Intermediate Transfiguration" and so on.
"Hey!"
Harry suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a book titled "Omens of Death".
"This says that seeing a black dog is the worst omen! Without a doubt."
Ethan glanced at the book cover.
The image above shows a black dog that looks as big as a bear, which looks quite "ominous".
Ethan: "If that's the case, then during the battle, we can just airdrop a few dozen black dogs at the enemy, and they'll all be dead, right?"
Harry:
"..."
They were speechless.
He still had a vague sense of unease.
Coincidentally, Sirius's prison break briefing was posted on the other side of the wall.
His wild roars completely revealed that he was a vicious madman.
Minister Fauci had warned him.
Sirius Black was Voldemort's loyal subordinate.
The purpose of this prison break is to kill him!
Ethan snapped his fingers, looking at the nervous Harry.
Meeting Harry's horrified gaze, he smiled:
"Don't worry, Harry."
Ethan turned around, and the silver spear nearly killed Harry.
"I will seize this 'ominous' omen—to prove that I am the ultimate king of omens!"
Ethan's eyes shone brightly, and Xiong Zhao rose with high spirits.
Harry was immediately relieved.
Even Sirius Black in the clippings looked kind and gentle.
With Ethan around.
Even the most formidable "ominous" creature can only surrender by raising its four claws and turning its belly up.
