Chapter 96 Making friends (Part 2)

About ten minutes later, the bank's alarm bell rang suddenly, and immediately Li Chuan saw two figures outside the wall in front of him.

It was Newt, who had just entered the bank, and No-Maj Jacob Kowalski, who was going to get a bank loan today to open a bakery, and was forced to get involved in the incident.

Jacob is a retired soldier after World War I. He was assigned to do dull work in a cannery. His dream is to open a bakery using his grandmother's secret recipe.

Today, he originally wanted to use his skills to see if he could apply for a loan to open a bakery. But because of an egg, the mysterious man in front of him took it into the bank vault in an instant, and saw many incredible things.

"I'm sorry, you've seen too much. If you don't mind, just stand still, just one click."

Newt helped Jacob, who was already frightened and unable to stand, politely helped him straighten his clothes, leaned over and put down the box in his hand, intending to cast an Oblivion Curse on Jacob.

"sorry!"

However, Jacob thought that Newt was about to unleash some terrible magic on him. While shouting sorry, he picked up the box that Newt had just put down, knocked Newt to the ground, and ran out of the alley quickly. into the crowd.

By the time Newt realized that he was completely unsuspecting of Jacob, the other party had disappeared.

"It's troublesome now."

Casting magic in front of Muggles without erasing memories with the Forgetting Charm is a violation of the Secrecy Act and you will be arrested and imprisoned.

"What a flexible fat man!"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of the alley. Newt turned around and saw that there was a young man standing there all the time.

"Sorry, no more mistakes."

Newt subconsciously thought that the young man was also a Muggle, so he raised his wand and was about to release the Forgetting Curse, but the young man took out his wand and said hastily:

"Don't be so excited, I'm a wizard too, I just didn't expect you to be brought down by a Muggle, and I didn't have time to take out my wand to help you pin him down."

This young man is none other than Li Chuan who deliberately hid here in advance.

He knew that Newt was one of Dumbledore's most trusted wizards at this stage, and he was also the main figure in the development of the following events, so he deliberately came over to get in touch with him in advance.

"It's my own problem, sorry to bother you."

Newt was obviously not very good at communicating with people. After knowing that Li Chuan was a wizard, he put away his wand, picked up the box on the ground, and was about to leave the alley to chase Jacob.

Unfortunately, as soon as he turned around, a woman in a windbreaker walked straight into the alley.

When the woman passed by Newt, she grabbed his arm, then took out her wand and pointed at Li Chuan, pulling Li Chuan's body directly in front of her, leading the two of them to apparate into the alley at the same time inside.

When Li Chuan saw a woman's wand pointing at him, he could actually use magic to bounce back, or use his physical strength to forcefully break free from the magic bondage, but he didn't do that.

For he had recognized it as Tina Goldstein.

"I am a wizard from the Magical Congress of America, who are you?"

In the uninhabited alley diagonally opposite the Woolworth Building, Tina showed her ID in one hand, and asked Newt and Li Chuan with a wand in the other.

"Newt Scamander."

"Tom Foley."

Newt and Li Chuan glanced at Tina's ID and replied at the same time.

It's just that after Li Chuan finished his reply, he answered another sentence:

"Well, I seem to have seen you. You helped me get the wand license three days ago."

"Ahem. That's not important. What's important is what's in your box, and what happened just now?"

When Tina heard Li Chuan's words, she looked at Li Chuan carefully, and immediately remembered that the other party was a wizard who came from London three days ago.

So after she looked a little embarrassed, she quickly changed the subject.

You must know that she is no longer an Auror, but just a wand license officer, and she has no right to stop Newt and Li Chuan.

Now it's like a staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau who is in charge of registration, finds two suspicious people on the street, but arrests them for torture like the police.

Under normal circumstances, Newt and Li Chuan can ignore Tina at all. If Tina uses magic on them, they can even go to the Magic Congress to complain about Tina.

However, Newt is obviously a very good-tempered person, so even though he knew the identity of the other party through Li Chuan, he still replied honestly:

"The ones in the box are Nifflers, you know they're always mischievous and like shiny things."

"Oh, Merlin's beard, you don't know that private keeping of magical animals is strictly prohibited in the United States, and it happened at this time, such a sensitive time, that something like that happened yesterday.

Are you sure you didn't mean it? "

Tina's tone was quite excited.

Newt quickly waved his hand:

"No, I just came here today, and Xixi always refuses to change after repeated admonitions, it just likes it"

"Well, I believe you didn't do it on purpose, so have you dealt with that No-Maj? Have you erased his memory?"

Seeing Newt's foolishness, Tina gradually believed his words.

"No-Maj?"

Newt looked confused.

"It's a Muggle, that's what they call it here in America."

Li Chuan on the side explained on his behalf.

Newt shook his head in embarrassment.

"You have violated Article 1 of Chapter III and Article 5 of Chapter 8. I will take you to Congress for trial."

Tina looked at Newt and Li Chuan with a serious expression.

Li Chuan spread his hands helplessly:

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, I just happen to be here to see it all."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with this gentleman."

New York quickly explained to Tina.

However, Tina dragged Newt with one hand and Li Chuan with the other, and walked directly to the Woolworth Building across the street:

"Both of you are wizards from England, and you both appeared in that alley at the same time. It's hard for me to believe that you have nothing to do with each other. If you have anything to say, wait until you go to Congress!"

Seeing this, Newt and Li Chuan had no choice but to follow Tina to the Congress.

"Mr Scamander, you seem to know a lot about Fantastic Beasts?"

On the way to Congress, Li Chuan took the initiative to chat with Newt.

Newt is not a person who likes to talk, but when he heard that it was related to magical animals, he immediately started talking more.

"Yes, I'm on a one-year expedition to write a book dedicated to magical animals, calling on everyone to understand why they should be protected."

"Oh, Merlin, this is really a very meaningful thing. Many people think they are strange, but I think they are strange? It's just that people's hearts are too narrow-minded."

Li Chuan sighed seriously.
