"?????"
The Black-robed Wizard was dumbfounded.
Damn.
You have both Blessing Potion and so much Truth Serum, and you still come to rob a black market merchant like him? Could it be that the Ministry of Magic had already gotten a tip-off that he had acquired a lot of good stuff?!
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The Black-robed Wizard saw Aurora walking over with a kettle, and his expression changed drastically, wanting to confess. However, Aurora was not going to let go of an opportunity to test the potion.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~"
The Black-robed Wizard was forcefully fed several gulps.
The next moment.
His mind felt sluggish, and he involuntarily wanted to spill all his secrets, including the fact that he once coveted his own brother's wife and even had a custom-made doll for it.
The effects of the Truth Serum were genuinely terrifying.
This is a magic potion that makes a person tell the truth. As long as you drink three drops, it will make you pour out your deepest secrets, although most of the time, it's administered when others are off guard.
After all, some Wizards pretend to have a blocked throat or apply magic transformation on their own throats—of course, in front of a well-prepared Aurora, none of this is a problem.
She used a large tube inserted into the Black-robed Wizard's stomach to administer the potion. This procedure, only seen when slaughtering pigs, even made Ian beside them call out that she was a real Living Yama.
"Where's your real treasure?"
Ian was clearly most concerned not about the Black-robed Wizard's feelings.
"In my teeth. It's been magically altered by my own brother, who is also a Dark Wizard, but he already owns three shops in Diagon Alley."
"My sister-in-law only saw his money. I swear, I will find a way to poison him to death so I can rightly become my sister-in-law's new husband."
The Black-robed Wizard's urge to confess was off the charts.
"Good, good, we caught the right person!" Ian hated scum like this in his life and directly pried open the Black-robed Wizard's mouth to remove all his teeth.
Leaving behind a mouth full of bloody teeth, Ian immediately fled with Aurora.
"No!"
A long time later, the Black Wizard finally awoke, seeing his now toothless mouth mirrored on the ice of the lake, and he cried out with a heart-wrenching wail.
"I must surrender to the Wizard Shoe Association! Expose the Ministry of Magic! Expose their Glowing Robe Inspection Team!" Having lost all his assets, the Black Wizard planned for a self-destructive fish-out-of-water fight.
He probably truly woke up.
Meanwhile.
Ian and Aurora had already finished dividing the spoils, returning through the secret passage to Hogwarts. They not only seized many contraband items but even each got a Dragon Egg.
It was the real treasure hidden in the Black-robed Wizard's teeth.
Even though Ian had a Big Bone Dragon and looked down on modern Mixed Blood Dragons, he knew the value of a Dragon Egg—something rare even in the black market.
If they gave it to Hagrid.
Who knows how much Hagrid would appreciate a Dragon Egg and reward the Little Wizards with materials from the Forbidden Forest!
"The Blessing Potion was worth it!"
Ian was quite happy.
At this moment, both he and Aurora had reverted to their child-like appearances due to the Aging Potion's effect wearing off.
"When's our next righteous mission?" Aurora was still thrilled by the action, feeling like she had fallen in love with being a "Hero of Justice."
This was much more promising than being a Dark Wizard!
"Not every time can we get such gains, but I think if we rob Death Eaters during the holidays, it'll be interesting." Ian painted a grand picture for Aurora. With dinnertime approaching, they tidied up and headed back to their respective Houses for some rest.
"Where's my Christmas gift?"
The Ravenclaw door knocker had really come to life.
"Here you go!"
Ian was prepared, putting a specially-made small crown on the door knocker. The colorful crown was exquisitely crafted, instantly making the bronze eagle head beam with pride. It finally didn't give Ian a hard time, asked a simple question, and let him into the common room.
"Do you know what I'm wearing on my head?"
There were Small Wizards coming in later.
It even took the opportunity to boast to the Little Wizards during questioning.
Ian didn't care.
He went back to the quiet dormitory, cleaned up, and then placed the Dragon Egg he got today and the much smaller Phoenix Egg on the desk in his room.
"I have two eggs that can't be eaten, twelve that can be eaten, and three Invisibility Beast pelts..." Ian initially just wanted to inventory all his assets.
However.
Midway through organizing.
He looked up and saw his Phoenix Egg glowing—a deep red thread spilling out from the Phoenix Egg like a big net covering the Giant Dragon Egg.
The Giant Dragon Egg's surface color was fading, and the Phoenix Egg's color started to change, gradually shifting from deep red to a dark purple.
"My egg can hatch?!"
Ian hurried to place all the eggs in front of the Phoenix Egg.
The next moment.
The Phoenix Egg accepted them all.
One thread after another wrapped around each egg.
Life Force.
Quickly drained from these eggs...
