HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

"Andri, Yeva, Xibilan, Qiluoluo..."

"By order of our master, you four must come here immediately without delay."

As Xia Ke transmitted her message through her human-dragon bloodline, those in London, England, and Yeva and others overseas all received the instruction.

In an instant, after a slight surprise, the four immediately put down their tasks or spare moments and began to transfer magic.

......

It was late at night.

Andrei was walking under the streetlights of London with his butler, Laut Kay, on his way to redeem the Carr family property that Corey Bab had sold.

The reason for choosing this late-night time is that sometimes things that money can't buy can be easily achieved by using some primitive, violent methods.

Previously, the Carl family only had one head, Teach, and Teach had no intention of revitalizing or continuing the family business.

But things are different now. The Karl family now has members, clansmen.

There might be an heir in the future.

Therefore, the Karl family, no longer a solitary clan, should naturally continue.

Therefore, the first thing Andri had to do after taking full control of all the affairs of the Karl family was to reclaim the family's assets.

But at that moment, Xia Ke's voice suddenly rang out from Andri's dragon bloodline.

“Andri Sen Karl, the master has given orders…”

Hearing Teach's order through Shake, Andri dared not hesitate for a moment.

He stopped and turned around, frowning slightly as he said to the butler, Lauter, "Mr. Lauter, you will be in charge of taking over the Karl family's businesses for the time being. I hope you won't disappoint me."

After saying that, Andri disappeared into thin air as Laut looked on incredulously at being entrusted with such an important task, channeling his magic.

......

London, a bustling late-night bar.

Amidst the cacophony of the bar and the blinding flashes of colorful lights, Xi Bilan sat at the bar, drinking one glass after another.

Her drinking capacity was so enormous that even with more than ten bartenders working in shifts to mix drinks, they couldn't keep up with her speed of downing them in one gulp.

Alcohol was not uncommon in McFastie's family.

As one of the five Dragonmen 04, I have naturally drunk Sybilan, but the wine brewed by the wizard is really too bland and uninteresting.

Butterbeer?

Fruit wine with added pumpkin juice?

Rice wine that uses magic to deceive one's own sense of taste?

After Sibyllan tasted the fine wines and spirits of modern Muggle society, the wizard's wine seemed bland and tasteless in comparison.

Xi Bilan, who could drink endlessly at the bar, watched with great interest the men and women indulging in their revelry on the dance floor.

Because of Cybele's stunning looks and otherworldly, wild beauty, many men in the bar who wanted to pick up women came to chat her up, but none of them were able to sit down next to her.

But under the relentless pursuit of the men who were hunting for women, Xi Bilan jokingly chose a man who she thought was acceptable to sit down.

After all, she had been drinking at this bar since evening, and if you think about it, the cost of the drinks wasn't cheap.

Although Teach gave Sibyl an unlimited card, allowing her to spend it however she wanted.

But Siberian is now a member of the Karl family, so she has to think about her own family and save as much as she can.

Having received permission from Sybilan, the man, secretly excited, sat down with gentlemanly grace and then, quite magnanimously, told the bartender, "What's the most expensive drink? Fill my and this beautiful lady's glasses."

"All expenses for the lady tonight are on me."

These words shocked the bartenders: "All the charges are on you?"

You probably have no idea how much this lady has drunk from the beginning until now.

While they might be thinking about it, the bartenders wouldn't say a word; the massive sales of Sybil tonight would all be their revenue.

When Xibilan heard how generous and agreeable the man who wanted to seduce her was, she felt contempt for him while secretly praising herself: "Looks like my taste in men isn't bad after all. He's a rich sucker, hehe!"

After a few rounds of drinks, seeing that the time was right, the man made an invitation to Xi Bilan that everyone understood.

In response, Xi Bilan smiled and stood up, teasingly saying, "Want to sleep with me? You'll have to catch up with me first."

Catching up with the superhuman dragon-man Sibiran? How is that possible?

After the man, heartbroken, spent all his savings and maxed out several credit cards to pay for the drinks, he hurriedly chased after her, but outside the bar, chilly and desolate, there was no sign of Xi Bilan.

Just as Xi Bilan was feeling smug and had once again tricked a sucker who had come to her, a voice that seemed to come from her very blood suddenly rang out.

“Cybyl Karl, by order of his master…”

......

Although the streets may not be very lively late at night, there is plenty of nightlife.

The streets of the night market were lined with food stalls selling late-night snacks and other treats.

At this moment, Qiluoluo, with her two chubby hands full of meat skewers and snacks, strolled and ate in the night market, looking incredibly relaxed and carefree.

Looking back on the hundred years spent with the McFastie family, compared to the freedom I have now, it's simply unbearable to recall, and I don't want to think about it.

In the McFastie family, Kira not only had to endure the humiliation inflicted on her and her sister by 01, but also had to tolerate the subsequent doomed human-dragon experiments that were carried out on them.

For a hundred years, she and her sister, Sibilan, lived like this.

Although life was hard and painful, Qi Luoluo did not suffer too much humiliation and torment thanks to her sister Xi Bilan's selfless protection. Therefore, Qi Luoluo's personality still retained innocence and naivety.

This innocence was fully unleashed after Teach regained his freedom.

Qiluoluo picked up the meat skewers and snacks in her hand, opened her pink little mouth, and ate them one by one.

Upon seeing a novel toy at a street stall, he swiped his card impulsively.

I can eat whatever I want, buy whatever I want. With the unlimited card Teach gave me, I have plenty of money.

Just as Qiluoluo finished exploring the entire London night market and was about to teleport back to Karl Castle to find her sister Xibilan, Xia Ke's voice rang out from within her dragon-human bloodline.

"Qiluo Luo, the master has given orders..."

......

The former MacFastie family island.

The present-day island of Kal.

At this moment, Yeva and his beloved dragon are having a quiet rendezvous on the highest mountain on the island.

The moonlight shone down in the dead of night, shining on Yeva on the dragon's back and also draping over the massive body of the demonic dragon 'Hong'.

'荭'.

This is the name Yeva gave to his dragon (his lover).

Yeva, relying on the dragon's physical resistance to magic, retained some of his memories despite the powerful erasure by the Oblivion Curse, but only partially.

I remember very little, and forget a lot.

He forgot her name.

But he never forgot his initial love for her.

Even without her memories, as long as there is love, nothing is a problem.

Love made Yeva recognize her immediately—the stranger she was, the dragon she had become, the dragon he had been assigned to ride—she was the one he had never had a chance to confess his love to.

"Hong, how many years has it been since we had such a warm and intimate time alone together?"

"Ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years?" Yeva asked with a warm smile under the moonlight.

Hong opened her dozing dragon eyes and hummed softly; unable to speak, this was the only way she could respond.

Hearing Hong's inhuman humming, Yeva felt a surge of grief and indignation, but it quickly disappeared.

The sad thing is the red on the dragon's body.

What angered him most was the McFast family, who erased his memories and transformed Hong into a dragon.

"Hong, do you know? I actually know."

“I know that Patriarch Teach has a way to turn us dragonmen into perfect human-dragon beings like Shake, and he can even turn you back into human form, but he didn’t do that.”

"The perfect human-dragon that the McFastie family had failed to achieve in centuries was accomplished by the head of the Teach family; it's a miracle."

"If it's a miracle, then it must have come at a tremendous cost or price."

At this point, Yeva transformed his eyes into dragon eyes, his gaze piercing through the clouds and mist in the mountains at night.

Looking towards the residential area, one sees the Muggle construction team resting and sleeping.

And, with the help of their own magic, the captured pure-blooded noble wizards are working day and night on the island to build 'celestial arrays'.

After reviewing it, Yeva then said to Hongzi, "I suspect that Patriarch Teach cannot afford the price of perfectly transforming all four of us and the four dragons."

"It should be said that the current head of the Teach family cannot afford it."

"Therefore, I will definitely have the construction team complete this celestial magic array disk, which can draw on celestial energy, within the required two years... It must be completed."

Feeling the strange gaze from Hong, Yeva laughed sheepishly, "Don't look at me like that, Hong."

"I am extremely lazy, you could even say I'm habitually lazy, but that depends on who I'm working for."

"Now that I see hope in the head of the Teach family, for your sake, for your sake so that you can regain your human form, it is time for me, who has been lazy for over a hundred years, to pull myself together."

After saying that, Yeva received a communication from Shake through their human-dragon bloodline.

"Yeva, the master has ordered... there must be no delay."

"If you dare to be even a second late because of laziness, thus delaying the master's instructions, then as the mistress of the Karl family, I will definitely make you pay."
