Chapter 7 Looks Like A Child, Detective Levin

How does a young wizard who has not yet entered school find a good job in Diagon Alley?

First rule out Gringotts.

Of course, with the level of logic of the wizards in this world who burn books and entrap scholars,

In his previous life, Levin, a man from science and engineering, could beat more than 95% of wizards in mathematics.

This level is more than enough to be an accountant and cashier in Gringotts.

However, this requires the goblins of Gringotts to believe it.

Secondly, places like Partridge's Crucible Shop and Quidditch Boutique are also inappropriate.

The products in these stores are all bulky items.

It was either a crucible or a broomstick, and the work inside looked like physical labor, and his little arms and legs couldn't do anything about it.

After completing the elimination method, there are more stores to choose from:

Pharmacy that sells potions made of various ingredients, Eela Owl Shop that sells owls, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore where I used to buy second-hand books, Florin Fusco’s ice cream shop that is most popular among little wizards, and Madam Malkin’s robe store that sells customized school uniforms. store, the Diagon Alley stationery store that sells all kinds of stationery...

Among them, the first choice is of course Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.

Because I can read books for free.

Of course, the above is just Levin's unilateral choice.

The reality is that he chose the store, but the store did not choose him!

They say he is too young and not old enough to work!

Wow, are you wizards so law-abiding?

Obviously the social level is still equivalent to that of Muggles 100 years ago.

Then why not apply the rules of the Great Yin Empire a hundred years ago when it comes to recruiting workers?

Levin's job search fell into deep trouble until he came to the Fantastic Beasts store.

At this time, there was a large circle of people surrounding the entrance of the Magical Beasts store. There was a lot of noise inside, and they didn’t know what was going on.

It happened that Levin couldn't find a job, so he got bored and got into it.

Then he saw the female clerk in the store standing in front of a large cage, hurriedly trying to catch the Sniff inside.

Beside him, a man wearing a well-dressed suit and a top hat crossed his arms and looked at her impatiently.

The Niffler is a long-snouted creature covered in black fur, like a cross between a platypus and a mole.

They have a gentle personality and are good at digging. Their favorite thing is shiny treasures. They will put the found treasures in the bag on their abdomen and destroy everything around them in search of shiny items.

Therefore, Nifflers are often regarded as the best helpers for treasure hunters.

The female shop assistant cursed in a hurry:

"Who are you damn little guys? Whoever stole Moore's pocket watch, come forward!"

Levin could see that there were at least six Sniffs in the large cage, running away from the female clerk in a panic.

She finally caught one, hung it upside down and kept swinging it around.

"Don't catch me, don't catch me, I'm so dizzy!"

Through the animal conversation ability, Levin can hear the complaints of the little ones.

The clerk shook it off for a long time, only to get out a pitiful silver sickle from its belly bag.

"Damn it, not this one!"

She tried to put the Sniff into another cage, but the angry Sniff raised his mouth and bit the clerk.

The clerk let go in pain, and Xiu Xiu fell into the midst of his companions again.

The worst part is, these sniffs look so alike that the store clerk can’t tell them apart.

Ouch, the efforts just now are not worth it at all.

Seeing the incompetent and furious look of this clerk,

Levin broke into a smile.

This is not because he was gloating over his misfortune;

But he discovered, eh, the opportunity to work is coming.

He immediately stepped forward and tugged on the hem of the female clerk's clothes.

"Hello, sister, I am Levin Green. Maybe I can solve your troubles."

The female clerk was anxious about how to find the customer's pocket watch, and was suddenly stopped by someone. She was about to get angry.

Looking back, he saw that the person calling him was a cute little boy.

For some reason, his anger immediately dropped by half, and he managed a smile patiently:

"Ahem, hello, Mr. Green. It's a pleasure to serve you, but look, I'm busy now. Can I entertain you later?"

But Levin shook his head and insisted: "You misunderstood. I am not here to seek services. On the contrary, I am here to help you."

"What help do you mean?" The female clerk looked confused.

"I can help you find the Niffler who stole the pocket watch."

"Here," the female clerk looked at him suspiciously and said, "I'm glad you are willing to help me, but you are too young. If you come to scratch and sniff, you will get hurt."

"You're overthinking, sister clerk." Levin smiled confidently, "I can find out the identity of the thief without having to do anything."

After that, he took a step forward, came to the cage, and said to Xiu Xiu in the cage:

"Hey, little guys, who just got a new baby?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Levin did not speak, but just made a "chirp" sound.

The sound was almost like a real Sniff.

This is exactly what the [Animal Talking] ability is doing.

This strange scene stopped the clerk who tried to stop Levin.

At this time, several Xiuxiu were also stunned in the cage.

They are also very strange. Why can the huge creature in front of them speak their language? Is it puzzling that this is also a giant sniffer?

Their little minds couldn't process such complicated information, but they still answered Levin's question honestly.

Then, Levin turned back and looked at the female clerk:

"I'm sure the thief is this little guy. He has a broken finger on his left front paw."

After hearing Levin's words, the female clerk doubtfully grabbed the sniffer and swung it upside down.

Soon, a gold pocket watch fell out of the little guy's abdominal bag.

"Yes, that's it, my pocket watch! That's the best gift Ma Lin left for me."

The wizard in a suit excitedly picked up the pocket watch, carefully put it into his arms, thanked Levin, and left the shop.

This is the end of a farce.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, kid!" After the onlookers dispersed, the female store clerk held Levin's hand and thanked her profusely, "You have done me a big favor."

Then he asked curiously: "You can actually imitate the Sniff's call, and you can tell at a glance which Sniff stole the pocket watch. How did you do it? Can you talk to the Sniff?"

Levin shook his head and nodded again: "Absolutely. I have a talent and can vaguely feel the emotions of small animals."

He did not truthfully acknowledge the ability of [animal conversation] and discounted it.

Then the clerk screamed.

"Oh my gosh, it's amazing that you have the same talent as Mr. Newt Scamander."

Newt Scamander, a famous magical zoologist and the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", is a big celebrity in the magical animal circle. Anyone who is a fan or practitioner in the related industry has heard of him. His great name.

Scamander himself is known for being able to communicate with magical animals.

This is why Levin partially conceals his abilities.

The so-called superman is half a genius, and a superman is a madman.

He said that he could communicate with magical animals, and there was a precedent for Newt. Everyone would only envy him after hearing this.

But saying that he can talk to magical animals would be an exaggeration.

Communication can only involve simple emotions, but dialogue involves complex logic and language.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the female clerk looked at him a little softer:

"I am Hayden Triest, the clerk of this magical animal store. Thank you for helping me solve this problem. Little guy, if you need any magical animals or related supplies in the future, you can come to me. I am within my authority. I can give you a 10% discount!”

"It's okay, clerk sister," Levin waved his hand pretending to be generous, then raised his head and gave the other party an innocent look, "Then, do you need part-time child labor?"
