HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

The servants who stayed behind that night.

They would never forget the way Teach and the others had acted when they left.

Teach Carl walked through the air, stepping on the alchemy array that shimmered with mysterious light, leaving behind a dashing silhouette.

Shake Karl transforms into a stunningly beautiful dragon girl, her body ablaze with fiery red flames, the heat rekindling the excitement that had subsided in the hearts of the stewards and servants.

Siberian Karl followed closely behind. With each step she took, she seemed to slice the ground invisibly. This invisible sharpness startled the servants, who retreated repeatedly. However, the servants did not feel fear, but rather awe, admiration, and fervor for the strong.

Kira Karl descended the steps, her figure moving back and forth, sometimes in front and sometimes behind, as if constantly advancing and retreating, making it impossible to pinpoint her exact location.

As the servants watched, their eyes grew tired and bloodshot, and they risked permanent damage to their vision.

Yeva Karl looked at Andri, and seeing that he remained unmoved, he got up and left the stage.

His figure was ethereal and elusive, both real and unreal. A bold maid couldn't resist reaching out to touch him, but he passed right through her, even though she could clearly see him and she had indeed touched him.

All the Karl tribesmen who followed Teach left, leaving only Andri on the stage.

At this moment, the servants all turned to look over, wanting to see what strange abilities and qualifications this man, who could sit next to the head of the Teach family, possessed.

Andri didn't waste any words or put on airs; he simply walked down the path calmly and steadily.

Just as the servants were feeling a bit disappointed and contemptuous, a heavy, invisible pressure came down on them. With each step Andri took, this pressure intensified.

Andri controlled the force emanating from his magic well, preventing him from crushing the ordinary people into a pulp. He only withdrew the pressure after he had passed through the path cleared by the servants.

Without turning around, Andri warned in a chilling tone, a hint of murderous intent in his voice, "Patriarch Teach is kind and amiable, and he doesn't hold grudges over many things, but... that doesn't mean you can stand before him so casually."

"Therefore, you should kneel down before me with a sense of awe and respect for hierarchy."

As Andri finished speaking, the pressure returned to the servants, effectively forcing all of them, including the butler Lauter, to kneel on one knee.

"Now, repeat after me, 'Respectfully send off the head of the household.'"

"Respectfully seeing off the head of the family..." Under Andri's undeniable murderous intent, the 15 female and 7 male servants and stewards said, "Respectfully seeing off the head of the Teach Carl family."

The servants, kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, did not dare to raise their heads for a long time after Andri left. They were trembling with fear and were too frightened to get up.

In the castle's underground laboratory, which had been emptied out, Teach smiled and nodded as Andrei arrived late.

Teach was pleased with Andre's assertive behavior in front of the servants.

If he's the "good cop," then someone has to play the "bad cop," and Andri understood his role perfectly by Teach's side.

Among the Dragon Witches, only he is suitable to play the villain who enforces the law.

Yeva's easygoing nature destined him to be a layabout, unless forced to do so.

Sibyl's fiery temper makes it difficult for her to strike the right balance in discipline.

Kira's naturally weak tone would cause servants to disregard her words, thinking she was easy to bully and that she would not be punished for disobeying the rules.

Although Shake is the nominal mistress of the Karl family, Teach wants Shake to stay by his side as a bodyguard and enforcer, since Teach's excessive physical exertion has left him somewhat exhausted.

In addition, every night from now on, I will have to spend energy and magic to suppress the bat blood poison that is difficult to get rid of in my body.

Therefore, for a long time to come, it's best for Teach to refrain from using life magic to unleash powerful spells.

Therefore, among the current members of the Karl family, only Andre is capable of handling the management work of ruthless law enforcement.

“Andriy, are you really not going to consider using my ‘Karl’ family name?”

Andre shook his head with a sigh: "My last name is 'Sen,' a surname given to me by my Muggle mother, which embodies her love for me and my sister Ambrosial."

"But I, who have also joined the Karl family and offered everything to be eternally loyal to you, also bear the surname 'Karl'."

“'Sen' and I will keep the surname, but you can call me 'Karl' as you like. I will also refer to myself as such to the entire magical world. I will always be a member of your Karl family.”

Tichy looked at Andri like this and was very satisfied.

This is a person with unwavering principles and loyalty; Teach Carr has no reason to hate or dislike him.

After dealing with the family matters, Teach turned around and looked at 01, who was petrified and imprisoned in the training array.

01 Watching Teach, Andrei, Shake, and the other four sit around him, six pairs of eyes constantly scanning his entire body, scrutinizing him as if they were... contemplating where to cut a piece of meat from his body to ensure the best texture.

Especially Xi Bilan and Qi Luoluo, the look in their eyes combined with the grinding sound of their sharp teeth filled 01 with dread.

He was extremely worried that if Teach gave the order, the two women would skin him alive and tear him apart.

I'm really worried about what's going to happen.

After pondering for a while, Teach said to the Sibyl sisters, "...This 01, you can punish him for now. You can use whatever torture you want, but don't kill him."

The reason for giving 01 to the Sibyl sisters to vent their frustrations was twofold: firstly, to soothe their humiliated bodies and minds.

Secondly, Teach still has no clue about celestial magic.

The foundation of the pavilion hasn't even been laid yet, and they're already going to dissect Experiment 01 and use natural magic to construct a magic transmission channel. That's far too hasty.

After tossing the 01 to the Amblin sisters, Teach pulled out five bank cards with no spending limit: "Here, one for each of you. Spend it however you like."

"You've been on the island for a hundred or two hundred years, you've suffered so much~, so take the money in your card and spend it, go and enjoy the happiness of the real world."

Upon hearing Teach's words, Sibyl and Yeva's mouths instantly lit up with smiles, and they eagerly took the bank cards.

When the two of them Apparated to London, looking at the colorful city, they longed to go wild and have some fun.

If they weren't broke, and if Andrei hadn't warned them against it, they might not even have been able to attend the important Karl family meeting tonight.

What? They seized hundreds of years' worth of the McFastie family's wealth and now they say they have no money?

The hot-tempered Sibyl would surely retort angrily, "McFastie is isolated from the world. They issued their own currency on the island. They are rich, but they are also penniless."
