Chapter 90 This business is booming, one order after another!
How could a vampire be scared by a little baby?
Instead of giving up, they resisted even more fiercely.
We can't really burn it, can we?
These teaching materials are hard to find.
So Irving put away Fiendfyre and cast a Cruciatus Curse, which silenced the vampires.
Owen and Calder continued eating hot pot, while Calder kept explaining the characteristics of vampires: "They are long-lived, and their blood is not absolutely necessary, but they still need to be fed a little every now and then. Feeding them once a month is about right."
Once a month?
That would be quite convenient, but it's not necessary. Hogwarts' food is top-notch, with plenty of meat every day. The only concern is that the young wizards might not have enough to eat. Just talk to the supplier and ask for some cow's blood, sheep's blood, chicken blood, or something similar, and there won't be any problem.
But what interests Irving most about them is their ability to transform from human form into bats. Is this some kind of Animagus?
This can be studied as a small research topic.
"Alright, we've dealt with the vampires here. Where's our next stop?"
Just as Calder was about to scoop up another slice of meat with his fork, his hand trembled, and the meat he had just picked up fell back into the pot. Owen scooped it up with his chopsticks, and the last piece of meat was in his mouth: "You don't still have a plan, do you?"
Calder sighed, scooped two vegetable leaves from the pot, and said while eating, "It's not that we didn't have a plan, it's that we didn't. This vampire job is just a small one. In this country, there's not work to do every day—wait a minute, I'll take this call."
This was indeed a small job, and no one there was worried that Calder would mess it up. However, no one could have imagined that, because of Irving's involvement, they would spend most of their time traveling.
"Okay, I understand."
Calder hung up the phone, then looked at Owen and said, "Some strange things are happening 300 kilometers from here. Are you interested in going to take a look?"
Irving looked at the other man's slightly reddened bald head and didn't say anything that would embarrass him. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
America is truly a peaceful country!
Irving felt that his plane ticket money was definitely worth it.
Look, I just dealt with a bunch of vampires and finished eating, and this job has already come up. If I bring back some weird and wonderful stuff, how explosive will the Defense Against the Dark Arts class be next semester!
So he didn't even ask what the strange thing was, he just followed along!
It was the same car, and the same magical dummy was driving. But after Owen got in the car, he didn't go back to his room. Instead, he sat in the living room and started watching a videotape.
This is no ordinary videotape, and what's playing inside isn't some story performed by people. It's a truly bizarre record. Of course, that's for Muggles, but for Owen, most of what's in here is teaching material!
Of course, he doesn't need any spirits or ghosts. There are plenty of ghosts in Hogwarts, and their lives have become stagnant over time. If we were to introduce spirits or ghosts, it would change their lives. If it changes for the better, that would be fine, but if it changes, then they're doomed.
But if it's a rarer creature, he can bring it back. The Forbidden Forest is so big, what can't he raise?
Even if they're not suitable for keeping in the Forbidden Forest, there are still many empty cells in Hogwarts' underground dungeons that can be put to use.
The videotape didn't contain anything that really caught Irving's eye, so the next few hours were quite boring. It wasn't until Calder came to call him, saying they had arrived, that he leisurely got out of the car, looked around, and asked, "Where are we? Up in the mountains?"
Calder didn't say anything. He pulled Owen to the edge of a cliff and pointed down, saying, "This is a paradise for the rich. Because of the good environment and air, real estate developers have turned it into a manor area. Below are rows of manors. Look at those over there. That's where the problem is. No one has come out of those manors for two weeks and they haven't been able to contact the outside world."
Irving nodded, then looked at him and asked, "Then why didn't we drive to the estate, but instead drove here?"
"It's always best to be cautious when dealing with the unknown. This is the highest point, which makes it easier for us to observe. By the way, how do you wizards usually observe?"
"We usually fly to high places."
Calder slapped his bald head and said, "Okay, that was a pointless question!"
Calder didn't say anything more, but carefully examined the terrain of the manor where the incident occurred. After he had memorized it, he took out weapons one by one from the trunk: a long knife, a short knife, a bayonet, various firearms, and a shotgun.
Seeing Owen staring at the shotgun in his hand, he smiled and said, "This is the most suitable modern weapon for exorcism, bar none. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Owen genuinely didn't know, because in his opinion, the Gatling gun, blazing with blue flames, was actually the best. All he had to do was magically reinforce the barrel, cast an automatic cooling spell, and then put the ammunition belts into the seamless stretch pouch—
As long as we have enough bullets, we can sweep everything away!
What Muggles consider factors that hinder the sustained output of weapons are no big deal in the magical world!
"Because of bullets—" Calder took out a bullet and pointed it at Owen, saying, "Some things are not afraid of modern weapons, but ancient and effective things are not very effective because they are too slow to be used. But when the two are combined, they have a miraculous effect. For example, the pellets in this bullet are soaked in holy water, and the impact area is large. It does not require special aiming. Even a novice can use it well. Do you need it?"
Owen was tempted, but he quickly shook his head: "No need, I have a better way, a way unique to wizards."
Did I really think that all my hard work in mastering the three Unforgivable Curses to the point of being able to do them silently and without a wand was just to pass the Ministry of Magic's inspection?
Of course—that's a factor, but more importantly, it's about saving lives as quickly as possible!
Eliminating the enemy as quickly as possible is one of the best ways to save your life.
"All right."
Seeing his refusal, Calder didn't say much, but loaded more bullets: "I've encountered this situation a few times. It must be some kind of dark creature that has appeared. It's a bit dangerous. Stay a little further away from me and don't stand in front of my gun."
Irving laughed, "You're a pretty good guy. Don't worry, the weapon you have can't hurt me. How are we going to get across?"
Calder took out a roll of steel cable, secured one end to the car's bumper, threaded the other end through his body, and then leaped off the cliff.
Irving, without doing anything, jumped down as well and quickly caught up with Calder: "Actually, I still think next time you should park the car at the entrance; at least it'll save you a lot of walking, don't you think?"
Calder rolled his eyes. He didn't want to speak at that moment, because if he opened his mouth, the wind would rush in—
