Making Friends (Second Update)

About ten minutes later, the bank's alarm suddenly rang, and then Li Chuan saw two figures appear 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 the bank for a loan to open a bakery today, and was forced to get involved in the incident.

Jacob is a retired soldier after World War I and is assigned to do a dull job 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 instantly took him into the bank vault, and he saw many incredible things.

"I'm sorry, you've seen too much. If you don't mind, just stand still for a moment."

Newt helped Jacob, who was already frightened and could not stand, politely helped him straighten his clothes, leaned down and put down the box in his hand, wanting to cast a forgetting spell on Jacob.

"sorry!"

However, Jacob thought that Newt was going 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, who was completely unsuspecting of Jacob, reacted, he had disappeared.

"This is going to be troublesome."

Performing magic in front of Muggles without using the Amnesia Curse to erase the memory is an act that violates the Secrecy Act and will result in arrest and imprisonment.

"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.

"I'm sorry, I can't make another mistake."

Newt subconsciously thought that the young man was also a Muggle, so he raised his wand to cast the Oblivion Curse, but the young man took out his wand and said quickly:

"Don't be so excited. I am also a wizard. I just didn't expect you to be knocked down by a Muggle. I didn't have time to take out my wand to help you immobilize him."

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 was also the main figure in the development of things later, so he deliberately came over in advance to get in touch.

"It's my own problem, I'm bothering you."

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

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

The woman grabbed Newt's arm when she passed by him, then took out her wand and pointed at Li Chuan, pulling Li Chuan's body directly in front of her, and disapparated the two of them into the alley at the same time.

inside.

When Li Chuan saw the woman's wand pointing at him, he could actually use magic to rebound, or rely on physical strength to forcefully break away from the magic shackles, but he did not do that.

Because he already recognized the person as Tina Goldstein.

"I am a wizard from the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Who are you?"

In the deserted alley diagonally opposite the Woolworth Building, Tina showed her ID with one hand and pointed her wand at Newt and Li Chuan and asked.

"Newt Scamander."

"Tom Foley."

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

But Li Chuan added this sentence after replying:

"Well, I think I've seen you before. It was you who helped me apply for 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?"

After hearing Li Chuan's words, Tina looked at Li Chuan carefully and immediately remembered that he was a wizard who came from London three days ago.

So after she looked slightly embarrassed, she quickly changed the topic.

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

Now it is like a civil affairs bureau registration staff member who found two suspicious people on the street and arrested them for torture like a police officer.

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

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

"The one in the box is Niffler. As you know, they are always naughty and like shiny things."

"Oh, Merlin's Beard, you don't know that private breeding of magical animals is strictly prohibited in the United States, and it happens to be at this time, at such a sensitive time, that something like that just 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. Xiu Xiu always refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. He just likes it."

"Okay, I believe you didn't mean it, but have you dealt with that No-Maj? Have you erased his memory?"

Tina saw Newt looking stupid and gradually began to believe what he said.

"No-Maj?"

Newt looked confused.

"It's Muggles, that's what they call them here in the United States."

Li Chuan on the side explained on his behalf.

When Newt heard this, he shook his head in embarrassment.

"You have violated Article 1 of Chapter 3 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:

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. I just happened to be here and saw all this."

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

New York also quickly explained to Tina.

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

"You two are both 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, let's wait until we go to Congress!"

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

"Mr. Scamander, you seem to know a lot about magical 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 it was related to magical animals, he immediately started to talk a lot.

"Yes, I am doing a one-year investigation and plan to write a book specifically about magical animals to appeal to everyone to understand why they should be protected."

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

Li Chuan sighed seriously.
