Nagini

Just as Ethan walked down the stairs, five wizards with wands in hand suddenly rushed out from Diagon Alley.

Aurors?

They arrived quickly!

"Expelliarmus!"

"Expelliarmus!"

The two Aurors in the front suddenly turned against Ethan, pointing their wands at their colleagues as they did so.

"Quickly imprison him!"

The remaining Auror reacted swiftly, attempting to use the Imprisonment Spell to bind the two teammates who had turned against Ethan.

However, this effort was futile. The two who had turned against him worked in tandem; one used the Armor Spell while the other used the Petrification Spell, swiftly eliminating their teammates.

"Aurors, is this all you can do now?"

A cold voice emanated from beneath the hood covered in black mist.

Ethan then walked deeper into Knockturn Alley. The two Aurors who had turned against him stood stunned, and the one who had been knocked down by the Disarming Curse, clutching his chest after losing his wand, dared not move.

Since when had such a ruthless individual appeared in Knockturn Alley?

How could one even confront such a person?

If you charged, would you still be yourself?

Could you even trust your teammates?

It was all very unsettling.

The dark wizards hiding in the shadows and observing this scene were taken aback.

Aurors were elite wizards. Each held at least five certificates of O.W.L. S, had completed mandatory courses, and undergone three years of training. They were highly skilled fighters.

Any Auror was a formidable opponent in Knockturn Alley.

And this unknown dark wizard, facing five Aurors alone and treating them like nothing, was simply incredible.

The last individual to be so impressive was Voldemort, though he had been defeated by a baby.

Now, could this unknown powerhouse lead them to challenge the Ministry of Magic again?

The dark wizards began to fantasize, hoping Ethan would play a leading role, reminiscent of Voldemort's glorious era when dark wizards were at their peak.

Now, hiding in the dim Knockturn Alley felt like living in the gutter. This was not the life they wanted.

Ethan, however, was indifferent to these thoughts. He had arrived at the base of Dennis and the others.

He refrained from killing the five Aurors because his shop was still in Knockturn Alley. If someone had used the Unforgivable Curse there and taught the Aurors a lesson, they would only conduct a cursory investigation due to fear.

Had the five Aurors died, the Ministry of Magic would not have let it go. Regardless of what the ineffective Minister Fudge thought, the other Aurors would not relent. Consequently, the shops in Knockturn Alley might face prolonged closures.

His alchemy potion shop generated hundreds of gold Galleons monthly; otherwise, he wouldn't have received more than half of the money for buying Nagini.

Although Dennis and the others had lowered the price and buying the snake Nagini was challenging, it had taken considerable time.

After greeting Dennis, Ethan focused on the panel.

[Wealthy]

Wealth flows in like a tide, mountains of gold and silver laid out, pearls and jades amassed in the treasury.

Achievement goal: 10,000 gold galleons (1/1)

Achievement reward: a random spell

[On the List]

The villains lurking in the dark, with numerous crimes, notorious, deviating from justice, and falling into the wrong path; the hideous face on the wanted list is a cancer to social peace.

Achievement goal: Wanted (1/1)

Achievement reward: a random black magic

Seeing the latter, Ethan was stunned. He had anticipated the achievement for collecting 10,000 gold Galleons, which had been his goal.

If he wanted to complete this gold Galleon achievement later, he didn't know whether it would require hundreds of thousands or millions of gold Galleons.

But to be wanted as an achievement was unexpected.

And it was wanted right now?

He hadn't even made an appearance; how could they have determined this black mark?

There were many dark wizards dressed like him.

Two spells were quickly drawn.

The first spell was Apparition, which Ethan had long wished to learn. It was very convenient for travel or escape.

However, at Hogwarts, there were no related books, and professors wouldn't teach it, fearing that students might master the body-separation technique.

The only option was to take the Apparition class once he met the requirements.

Dennis and the other three idiots knew how to use it but were not proficient; they could only use it when unimpeded.

Before school, Ethan had considered having the three teach him but quickly abandoned the idea. If they taught him incorrectly, it would be disastrous. Ethan didn't want to end up missing a body part.

"Pop!"

With a unique sound, Ethan appeared directly on the second floor.

It was indeed quite convenient, though still a bit uncomfortable. It was much better than the first time when Professor McGonagall took him through it.

Perhaps it was related to improvements in physical fitness and magical power.

After a few more attempts and becoming familiar with the sensation, it should be much more comfortable.

The second spell drawn was Crow Storm. Ethan felt a strong sense of déjà vu about this spell. It resembled energy absorption and was similar to a skill from a certain game.

It was akin to a wolf pack spell.

Both involved summoning magical creatures, but Crow Storm didn't require the shadows for summoning. It could be generated around Ethan.

Unlike the wolf pack, which split upon being killed, the crows dissipated into magic but were numerous.

The crows couldn't switch between reality and illusion and could only maintain a physical form, but they were a flying unit.

They could also resist the Killing Curse.

Unlike wolves that attacked with claws and fangs, crows had sharp beaks and claws and also had potent curse effects.

With two more spells added, Ethan's training had been very effective since Christmas.

Many spells had reached their maximum level, and several had seen slight improvements.

"Dennis!"

"Boss, I'm here!"

Dennis immediately stepped forward respectfully.

"Where is the snake?"

"Take me to see it!"

"Come with me!"

Soon, Ethan followed Dennis and arrived at a huge iron cage, in which a four-meter-long snake was coiled into a ball, its head raised high and constantly flicking its tongue.

"You go out first, and then ask Bruno to bring the magic potion."

After observing Nagini for a while, Ethan turned his head and instructed Dennis. "Hiss! (Your name?)"

Ethan made a snake-like sound.

The talent of the parselmouth man could also play a role at this moment, allowing him to talk to snakes. "Hiss! (Nagini)"

Nagini's huge snake head stretched out in front of Ethan, and she flicked her tongue quickly against the iron cage, while her tail shook from time to time.

It seemed that even though she had become a snake, she still remembered her previous name. "Hiss! (Don't you remember this name?)" "Hiss! (I don't know!)"

The huge snake head shook twice. "Hiss! (Do you remember the past?)"

"Hiss! (I ate mice and birds in the forest... and met a strange snake!)"

It seemed that, aside from the name, she had no memory of being human. The strange snake she met was probably the snake possessed by Voldemort.

"Hiss! (I will let you out now; don't bite me!)"

With an affinity for animals and a talent for speaking with snakes, Ethan was naturally not afraid of being bitten by her, though others might not be so fortunate. A bite could be quite fatal.

"Hiss! (I will be good and not bite you. It's so small here and uncomfortable!)"

Even as a snake, Nagini's excitement was evident at the prospect of being released.

Moreover, her mental abilities were still relatively high, likely a result of the transformation from human to snake.

With an unlocking spell, Ethan quickly freed her. After emerging, Nagini swam around in the space where the Traceless Expansion Spell was cast. It was clear that she was suffocating.

Watching Nagini enjoying her freedom, Ethan was unsure where to begin.

The blood curse was a curse on the soul [and possibly on genes]. After all, if one can turn into a snake without being an Animagus, their genes must be different from those of normal people.

"Boss!"

Bruno's voice sounded from outside the door. "Come in!"

Bruno pushed the door open and saw the poisonous snake tightly wrapped around Ethan, its tongue flicking right next to Ethan's cheek.

At this distance, an attack would be fatal.

Bruno had also studied Nagini's venom, which was extremely poisonous. A Mortra rat would die in less than ten seconds. "This is the magic potion you wanted!"

Bruno reached into his pocket and took out a small bottle of azure liquid, which was crystal clear and free of impurities.

Legilimency was used silently, and Ethan confirmed there were no issues with the potion. One could never be too careful regarding their own safety.

After drinking it in one gulp, the sensation of increased magical power was similar to the last time. The entire process lasted about ten minutes, which felt quicker than before.

The increase was only about one-third of the previous time.

"This is four thousand gold galleons. Can you make four more bottles before Christmas?"

Ethan threw a bag in front of Bruno.

The materials for one batch cost about 1,200 gold galleons. Now the store could divert more than 1,000 gold galleons, so adding 800 gold galleons was not a problem.

Moreover, Ethan had bought the store, and some alchemical gadgets were put on sale, but Ethan had not collected the money.

Bruno was just an employee, while Ethan was the boss! It was reasonable to use this money.

"No problem; it will be completed before Christmas!"

The magic potion required three months to brew, and it was possible to monitor it at critical moments. During the rest of the time, one could leave, allowing for multiple batches to be brewed simultaneously, as long as intervals were maintained.
