For Mr. Jacob Kowalski, what he experienced today was really a bit overwhelming.
As a veteran of the U.S. European Expeditionary Force who participated in World War I, Mr. Jacob's situation was not very good. After all, veterans of World War II withered under the tracks of tanks. You can imagine what kind of treatment the veterans of World War I received.
Although he also had a job in a cannery, it was far from a job that could make a living or be decent.
However, Mr. Jacob has not lost hope in life. Mr. Jacob, who inherited the baking recipe from his grandmother, hopes to open a bakery and change his life with his own hands.
That's why he came to the bank for a loan, hoping to get a start-up capital.
But it is obvious that the bankers of this era were not philanthropic, and were much more cold-blooded and cruel than those of later generations.
So Mr. Jacobs, who had no collateral as collateral, was rejected outright by the bank, even though he only wanted to borrow a few thousand dollars.
However, just as he was leaving the bank manager's office with a disappointed look on his face, due to a small accident, he was dragged by a wizard in a blue trench coat and apparated directly to the bank's vault, where he also witnessed a bird-snake weapon.
Break out of the shell.
Although he had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefields of World War I, magic was still a bit new to him. It took him a long time to recover, and he still wanted to figure out what happened all of a sudden.
From the bank lobby to the bank vault.
Compared to Mr. Jacob, the bank lobby manager seemed obviously agitated.
He had just been bragging in a proud tone that his vault was absolutely safe, but in less than a minute, two thieves broke into the vault door in a way he didn't understand, in front of important customers!
This was like giving him two big slaps, then throwing his and the bank's faces to the ground, stomping on them, and rubbing them repeatedly.
The lobby manager immediately yelled at the two people, scolding them as thieves, and at the same time wanted to ring the alarm bell on the wall.
Seeing the actions of the lobby manager, the wizard, who was holding a newly hatched bird and snake in his hand, immediately pointed the wand in his hand at the lobby manager. However, just as he was about to curse the Muggle who had witnessed his whereabouts, he heard
Someone had to whisper, "This is not okay."
Then he heard a snap of his fingers, and no sound came out of his mouth. The wand in his hand flew out and fell into the hands of Chen Mo behind the lobby manager.
The lobby manager successfully rang the alarm bell, and the security guards quickly arrived. Facing a wizard who had his wand taken away and a World War I veteran who had not yet figured out what was going on, these security guards struck hard.
In two strokes, they were pushed to the ground.
However, at this time, the wizard wearing a blue trench coat was still very nervous to protect the bird snake in his hand. Even if he was knocked to the ground, he could still raise his hand to prevent the bird snake from falling to the ground.
But these security guards didn't have so many worries. When they pushed the wizard to the ground and saw that he still had his hands raised, a baton was drawn towards his elbow.
"Stop!" Xiao Yixi couldn't help shouting. When she was still on the boat, she was very interested in the bird and snake in the wizard's box that was about to break out of its egg. Now she was looking at this one that had just broken out of its egg.
The baby bird and snake that came into this world was about to fall to the ground, and it was unbearable to stop the security guards from doing so violently.
She rushed forward, took the baby bird and snake from the hands of the downed wizard, and held it directly in her arms.
The wizard who fell to the ground gave up his resistance when he saw this, and was held down obediently by the security guards. Together with Jacob beside him, he was taken away by the police who arrived later.
Looking at the two people who were taken away, as well as the wizard's suitcase that was taken away, Chen Mo's face showed an expression of watching a good show.
He came to this world just to have fun, and this meant that Chen Mo would do whatever he wanted. This kind of interference in the fate of the characters in the original plot was just for his pleasure.
It's just that he will be concerned about Yi Xi's existence and will not go too far, or try not to go too far.
Fortunately, Xiao Yixi's attention was now completely attracted by the baby bird and snake still curled up in the egg shell, and her eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.
Chen Mo did not bother her. Although Xiao Yixi has not inherited the godhead that belongs to her yet, she has awakened the blood power of the red dragon under her mother's education. A mere bird and snake is in her hand.
, it will only be the role of a pet.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, left the bank's vault amidst the lobby manager's 120,000-point apology and did not store the gems in the bank where the bank robbery had just occurred.
As for the stolen Xiu Xiu, after Chen Mo snapped his fingers, he shook out all the stolen things from his body, returned all the things to their original places, and gave them to Xiao Yi Xi as a pet to play with.
This made the little girl extremely happy. She held the chubby Xiu Xiu with one hand and held the bird and snake huddled in the eggshell with the other hand. She suddenly didn't know which one to look at.
She liked Xiu Xiu's chubby little appearance, especially her pair of black beady eyes, which looked very innocent and cute.
As for the baby bird and snake curled up in the eggshell, its feathers are very bright. Although it is curled up in the eggshell, it can still make people marvel at its beauty, which makes Xiao Yixi quite unable to put it down.
"Yi Xi, these two little animals belong to the big brother just now. You have to return them after playing with them for a while!" Chen Mo had no intention of letting Yi Xi keep these two little animals.
Although it was no problem for him to let Yi Xi keep these two little animals, this kind of thing was really unnecessary.
Moreover, it cannot set a good example for the growth of children.
In order to prevent Yi Xi's parents from thinking that they had taught their children badly in the future, Chen Mo still planned to take little Yi Xi to return the two little animals.
In fact, Xiao Yixi's tutoring was better than Chen Mo expected, and the little girl's self-control was also very good. Although she couldn't put it down for the two small animals, she still nodded obediently and replied affirmatively: "This little snake is
Their parents must be very anxious if their shells are broken, so we’d better return them back as soon as possible!”
However, after making such a statement, Xiao Yixi still asked Chen Mo doubtfully: "But those two uncles were taken away by the police, how are we going to return them?"
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is something adults can handle." Chen Xi touched Xiao Yixi's head, took her out of the bank, and got back on the carriage.
However, they did not deal with the matter immediately. Instead, they sent the carriage to a nearby restaurant, planning to take Xiao Yixi to have a meal first.
As for the witch who had been peeking outside the bank, although Chen Mo noticed it, he just pretended not to see it.
When passing by a certain street on the way, Chen Mo deliberately opened the curtains and took a look. The whole street seemed to have been overturned, and many of the surrounding buildings were damaged, which made him couldn't help but take a second look.
Xiao Yixi on the side also noticed this, and she couldn't help but asked with concern: "Cousin, what's going on? Did something explode?"
"No, this is just a poor child." Chen Mo shook his head and did not explain to Xiao Yixi what was going on.
He took Xiao Yixi to finish lunch, then let the carriage take them to the police station, and informed a policeman of his intention.
"Sir, these two people are important suspects in robbing the bank. We cannot handle bail procedures for you." The police refused to Chen Mo. After all, they also had to give an explanation to the bank.
However, Chen Mo just snapped his fingers, took out the previous gem from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Xiu Xiu on the side immediately became agitated when he saw the gem. If it hadn't been hugged tightly by Xiao Yi Xi, this money-greedy little guy would have started his thief performance again.
But obviously this gem was not for him, and the policeman who was in charge of receiving Chen Mo immediately became confused after seeing the gem, put the gem away with a greedy look, and then said to Chen Mo: "Of course, like you
The generous gentleman is always so kind and enthusiastic about justice, and is willing to donate to the police station, so we can't make it difficult for you, so please wait a moment, I need some time to deal with this matter."
"Of course, please try to handle it as safely as possible." Chen Mo nodded and said nothing more.
After the police left, Xiao Yixi was still playing with the struggling Xiu Xiu. However, although the Xiu Xiu always wanted to escape, it never dared to leave Xiao Yi Xi too far.
Although it was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, the sensitive nature of animals could still detect a faint dragon power surrounding Xiao Yixi's body.
That was the smell from a natural enemy. Xiu Xiu instinctively knew that he could not disobey and could not escape, so he could only try his best to please Xiao Yixi, and at the same time, he also called his owner in his heart, hoping that he would come to rescue him quickly.
.
Come and save Xiu Xiu! If you don’t come back, Xiu Xiu will die!
At this time, the owner, Mr. Newt, who was being cared about by the Sniff, was locked up with a group of New York street gangsters along with Mr. Jacob.
"So you are from the UK? Want to come to New York to buy a pet as a birthday gift?" Perhaps it was his experience in serving in the army that made Mr. Jacobs already pessimistic about life and death. Although he was imprisoned, he still talked to New York
We started talking.
"Yes, that kind of little animal is very special. Only people keep it in New York." Newt looked a little shy and had a lot of worry on his face.
He clearly remembered that when he was in the vault just now, he planned to cast a restraining spell on the sutra in the lobby, but before he could speak, he could not make any sound, and even the wand in his hand disappeared.
This led to him being caught by the police and thrown into jail.
If his wand was still there, a mere Muggle prison would not be able to imprison a wizard, and he could even take Jacob out with him.
But now, he became helpless.
Wandless spellcasting is a very advanced spellcasting skill. Even at Hogwarts, there are few professors who have mastered such a profound skill, let alone him, a poor student who was kicked out of the school before he even finished school.
But compared to being behind bars, Newt was more worried about his suitcase that had been taken away and the Niffler that had not been recaptured.
You must know that the magic world has always had confidentiality rules, and ordinary people cannot know the existence of wizards. In order to achieve this, each country has its own magic management department, which is responsible for managing related matters and leaking the existence of magic to ordinary people.
It is a serious crime that requires severe punishment in any country.
If he were still in the UK, he would probably be thrown into Azkaban for further training.
As for an out-of-control Niffler, Newt couldn't imagine how much trouble the little guy he raised would cause.
As for the box filled with all kinds of magical creatures that he had worked so hard to collect, he could only pray that no one would open it, otherwise... Newt felt that even if his Transfiguration Professor came, he would probably have to
Suffer a big loss in front of those magical creatures.
"So are you a wizard?" Jacob did not notice Newt's sad face, but asked a question that he was very concerned about: "When I was at the bank before, I was there one second, and the next second
Just over here, I saw you took out a little stick, so are you a wizard? Is that your wand?"
Jacob asked while gesturing with his hands. It could be seen that he was indeed very interested in magic.
However, Newt didn't really want to talk about this topic at this time. He just said perfunctorily: "It's just a little trick, it's nothing."
But Jacob felt very curious about this. After pestering Newt and getting no answer, he leaned against the wall and sighed: "It would be great if I knew how to do magic, so that I could change the world."
Spend endless money, turn stones into gold, and have enough capital to open a bakery."
"Well, in fact, wizards can't change money. Even if they can use transfiguration to turn paper into money, it won't last long. When the magic disappears, the money will still turn back into paper. This is even the most magical thing in the world.
Even a powerful wizard can't do it." Although Newt dropped out of school and was a graduate of Hogwarts, he still has a major and knows something: "As for turning stone into gold, I'm afraid there is no way in this world.
There is only one person who can do it, but no one knows where he is, people just say he is still alive."
"Who is it? I think he must be very rich." Jacob was a little curious, who was so powerful that he could turn stones into gold.
"Nicolas Flamel, a Frenchman, is said to have created the Philosopher's Stone in the fourteenth century, which made him immortal and able to make a lot of gold." Newt thought about the cards in the chocolate frogs he collected.
Said casually.
But Jacob looked fascinated when he heard this, and sighed: "He must be living a very happy life, with endless money and an immortal life. What else in the world could be happier than this?"
"Nicol Flamel is not happy at all. What he wants more than eternal life and gold is freedom." At this time, a voice came from outside the prison, refuting Jacob's words.
