22. Fishing In Troubled Waters

The Magical Congress of the United States was established in an era when wizards and No-Majs were in serious conflict.

This makes the MACUSA more like a military government.

There are no nobles in the magical world of America. Those with high status are the descendants of the Twelve Aurors, the Bute family, and other families that have made outstanding contributions to the magical world of America.

Graves, who was replaced by Grindelwald, is the descendant of Gondulphus Graves, one of the twelve Aurors.

Therefore, the laws enacted and implemented by the Magical Congress are very strict.

This place is more like an archive, no one will come here to read, and strict guards are patrolling it.

The Library of the Magical Congress is a backup in case the magical world is attacked and the inheritance of knowledge is cut off.

For Aurelius, he could find any book he wanted here.

This is an absolute gem.

Walking through the huge bookshelves, Aurelius lay dormant and waiting.

Now that the guards were still there, he couldn't reveal himself to get the book.

And he also noticed that there were alarms or defense devices on these bookshelves.

"Queenie, thank you so much, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the books here in a short time" Aurelius said hello.

It was only after he came in that he discovered the difference between this library and Queenie's books.

Wait quietly for Newt and the others to cause trouble, and it would be best to attract the guards here.

Other than that, Aurelius just wandered among the bookshelves, looking for his goal.

The original plan was to leave a mark here so that he could read books at any time. The three hundred years of accumulation of the Magical Congress would become his private library.

But when he discovered that this place was not a library but an archive, Aurelius changed his plans.

He could only take advantage of the chaos and take away some of the books.

It was impossible to take them all away. If it weren't for Queenie's gift of a book box, he could only take away three or five books, which would be amazing.

His main target is black magic.

Ordinary magic can always be obtained somewhere, but truly high-end and top-notch black magic is difficult to obtain.

After wandering around two times, Aurelius locked in some target books, some of which were old friends he was familiar with, and some new friends.

"Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" and "Curse and Counter-Curse", are all magic books that appear in the original work.

There are also some that he has never heard of, such as "Awakening Your Loyal Servant", "The Fire of Hell", "Bloody Ritual" and "Puppets, Torture and Killing", a book that you will know what it is about as soon as you hear it.

"I hope it works, but don't waste your efforts and make a bunch of useless stuff," Aurelius said to himself.

Black magic is powerful and has strange effects, but it has serious side effects. Aurelius wanted to learn it because he felt that he was probably immune to the side effects of black magic.

If he learned black magic but couldn't resist the negative emotions caused by black magic, then Aurelius would rather not use black magic.

He didn't want to let his emotions control his mind, nor did he want to be corrupted into a madman by black magic like Voldemort and those dark wizards.

"Huh? Has it started?!"

Marking the perspective, Newt began the most exciting period of life and death escape.

The autistic little Freckle started his yo-yo trick!

Winged Demon!

A dangerous magical animal that sucks brains. It spreads its wings like a big butterfly, but its terrifying face looks like a reptile.

Newt learned to carry the Winged Demon with him when he was in Brazil and learned from the wizards there.

Brazilian wizards specialize in harnessing and taming magical creatures to fight.

Based on his understanding of various magical creatures, Newt chose to carry the Winged Demon, which curled up to the size of a palm, like a green spiny pupa.

Once released, he will transform into a terrifying killer with an arm span of one meter that sucks people's brains!

Without a wand, the Winged Demon became Newt's trump card, helping the three of them defeat the three executioners and escape quickly.

But the Winged Demon cannot replace the wand. Tina without the wand is a pure burden, and Newt instinctively feels uneasy without the wand.

They don't know how long they can escape in this magical country where wizards and Aurors are everywhere...

"Queenie?!" A door opened, and a figure appeared in front of Newt. He subconsciously was about to launch the Winged Demon attack, but luckily Jacob's surprised shout stopped Newt.

"Come in!" Queenie clapped the suitcase in her hand. It was Newt's suitcase, and in her hand were the wands belonging to Newt and Tina.

"..." Aurelius was a little dumbfounded.

No... I've given you several extra hours to prepare, but you ended up hiding in a box and escaping?!

Newt and the others' escape was part of Aurelius' plan. He had often acted to maintain the plot before because that allowed him to maximize his interests.

But that's not now!

What he wants now is for Newt and the others to cause chaos so that he can fish in troubled waters. What plot will you follow at this time?

The only result of asking Queenie to prepare in advance is that the chaos will be smaller than the one in the plot!

"It's true that the plan can't keep up with the changes." Aurelius shook his head, but it didn't matter. Aurelius had learned from experience after the failure of seeking Motla Rat.

Plan A failed? Don't worry, he still has Plan B!

"It's a pity that I learned my original form immediately and didn't use it."

When Queenie successfully left Magic Congress and Newt and the others were released again, Aurelius appeared instantly and destroyed the defenses on the bookshelf with one force, triggering the alarm bell.

He rolled up his target and stuffed a total of eighty or ninety magic books into the book box.

Before the guards arrived, he activated the second-stage teleportation effect of the Mark Summoner's skill and disappeared into the library.

"Where are we going now?"

"We need a repaired place. Those animals are still wandering around. I can't watch them being killed by Aurors!" Newt said anxiously.

"Newt, don't worry, it won't happen. Chairman Picquery's order is to arrest, and the Aurors won't kill him unless it's just in case." Tina comforted.

"No! The invisible beasts are okay. They are not easily discovered by Aurors, but the poison horn beasts and bird snakes are still outside. They are XXXX-level magical creatures. Aurors who don't understand their habits have no way of catching them. Once they are provoked and the Auror is injured, the Auror will attack." Newt said eagerly.

Jacob suddenly suggested: "My house, no, my grandfather's house, they have passed away and no one lives there. We can go there first..."

"Okay," Tina nodded, turned to Newt, and said, "Don't worry, it's been several hours. If something happened, it would have happened a long time ago. We need to confirm again how many animals you have wandering around."

Newt looked at the other three and nodded.

No one noticed that an uninvited guest came and left again.
