64.Portuguese Ministry Of Magic

T/N: "Wow, we have reached 1000 Collections! 🎉🎉🎉 We couldn't have done it without your amazing support. Thank you so much for being part of our journey. Let's keep the momentum going!"

"You come from the Sirens? Two people and a magical animal?" Staff from the Portuguese Ministry of Magic are checking the entry procedures of Aurelius and his party.

"Yes, our transportation is not illegal, right?" Aurelius said with a smile. The staff shrugged, and the automatic quill stroked gracefully on the document: "It was no violation before entry, but not now. The only ones you can use are apparition and flying broomsticks."

"Watch your magical animal, if it gets into trouble you'll be facing at least a year in jail. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Travel, we are traveling around the world," Aurelius replied.

"Ha! Travel? Is it a graduation trip? It's so enviable. When I graduated, I also wanted to take my girlfriend to travel with me, but unfortunately, we didn't save enough travel funds. Welcome to Portugal -" the staff said with a smile, holding it in his hand Picking up the steel seal, he raised his head and asked, "I haven't asked your names yet.

"Nagini."

"Aurelius Dumbledore." He wanted to use the last name Dumbledore, and of course, he would not hide it.

"Okay, Nagini...Asian? The name is weird, Aurelius Dembu...what?" The steel seal in the staff's hand automatically changed letters, stamping two, he paused for a moment, raised his head, and stared at Aurelius, his mouth wide open: "You...you..."

"Is something wrong? Sir."

"No, you Dumbledore?" the staff member said cautiously.

"Yes."

"The British Dumbledore?"

"I don't know where there is another Dumbledore."

"Merlin's beard!" the staff member screamed strangely, wiping his palms on the clothes behind him twice, with an excited look on his face: "Mr. Dumbledore, it's nice to meet you."

"Um...you seem a little too excited."

"No, no, sir, I met Mr. Albus Dumbledore once when I was studying. His magnanimity and wisdom impressed me and I will never forget it. I graduated from Beauxbatons..."

This staff is a fanboy of my cheap uncle.

But this is normal. Albus, like his old lover, has extraordinary charisma. Many wizards in the magical world worship both and are willing to follow them.

It's just that Albus Dumbledore doesn't need it.

"Welcome, welcome again to travel to Portugal, Mr. Dumbledore." He finally calmed down the little fan, and he respectfully handed over their documents.

"Thank you." Aurelius took the formalities and left the Ministry of Magic with ZuoWu and Nagini.

"I didn't expect that I would get the credit. The influence of the name Dumbledore is greater than I thought." Aurelius couldn't help but sigh.

You know, Dumble is not at the peak of his reputation yet, and he has not yet experienced that duel that will go down in history.

But even so, as a relative of Dumbledore, he received such warm courtesy from the Ministry of Magic in a country. So terrifying!

"This is troublesome!" Nagini said with a smile: "You don't want to have anything to do with the family, but now, you owe a huge favor."

Aurelius said jokingly: "You also owe me a favor."

"It doesn't matter, I'm relying on you." Nagini smiled brightly, a smile of freedom and hope that shocked the world, and Aurelius couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

He is not a promiscuous person, but he is a normal man.

Appreciation, purely appreciation.

"Let's go, we need to find a place to stay first." With a slight cough, Aurelius said, holding the magic map that the staff just gave him.

The Portuguese magic world is sparsely populated, with less than a thousand wizards in total.

Although it was an independent Ministry of Magic, Aurelius didn't understand the use of gaining support from such a weak Ministry of Magic.

But considering that it was none of his business, he didn't bother to talk.

- Bay Tavern.

This is the only wizarding hotel in the Ministry of Magic in Portugal.

To be honest, the environment is not good.

When he checked in, he even saw spider webs in the corners of the room.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no choice but to choose, he would have turned around and left.

But even so, he has decided to live in his suitcase.

The space inside the suitcase is not comparable to Newt's, but it is still enough to accommodate three bedrooms and a living room.

However, one of the rooms has been transformed into a study room by Aurelius, which is filled with various books.

There are dark magic books he got from the Magical Congress, as well as books he bought from the bookstore in Wally's Cave, the Siren Bookstore a few days ago, and the blood curse Research Notes he got from Tina Sebastian.

Aurelius loved reading very much, a habit he had developed in his hospital bed in his previous life.

Not only magic books but also a large number of books about local customs and customs.

Aurelius's biggest flaw is his unfamiliarity with this magical world. Don't talk about the plot, what's more plot? The plot is just about a few people and things in this world.

Knowing the plot is indeed his advantage, but he cannot take the plot as everything.

Aurelius felt that the plot was no longer reliable.

After sorting out a room for Nagini, the living room was occupied by the big cat Zouwu.

Sitting in the study and carefully reading the research notes of Tina Sebastian's grandfather and father, Nagini stroked the cat with one hand and stayed aside quietly, and the years were quiet.

"The blood curse...an ancient curse may have been lost now - it was said that it might be lost two hundred years ago. This is not good news." Aurelius traced a line of text with his fingertips and frowned, muttering to himself. If you wish to study a magic spell, the most direct approach is to learn how to cast it.

However, there is a downside. The blood curse is a prime example of ancient black magic, and many existing blood-cursed have inherited it. Most wizards are not familiar with the term "blood-cursed" or "Maledictus."

Furthermore, not all existing blood curses are of the same kind. This particular blood curse is flawed in a noticeable way. Its effects are not immediate. For such a wicked curse to work, it requires a significant amount of hatred. Naturally, when one harbors such intense hatred, one hopes to achieve immediate revenge.

Unfortunately, it takes over twenty years for the Maledictus to experience the full effects of the curse. This fails to meet the demands of spell casters, causing them to slowly abandon and eliminate it.

Similar circumstances apply to other blood curses as well. While they may have the "advantage" of harming future generations, their slow effectiveness is also the primary reason why they are on the brink of extinction.

The lack of available information on casting the blood curse poses a considerable challenge for unraveling its secrets.
