Chapter 9: Power and discrimination

Would Hermione be satisfied after learning a spell?

The answer is no.

In the following days, Hermione reported to Brook's house every day.

This annoyed Brook immensely.

He taught her whatever he knew.

But he didn't know many spells in total, and Hermione's learning ability was incredibly strong.

He was completely depleted.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked very satisfied.

Fortunately, Hermione did not delve into why Brook learned some magic particularly quickly, while his understanding of other magic was not as fast as hers.

Through these days of study, Hermione also gradually grasped some principles of spellcasting.

She found that as long as the pronunciation was accurate, it usually wouldn't bring too much risk.

In the process of exploration, she successfully self-taught the Lumos, Reparo, and Alohomora spells.

Meanwhile, Brook did not waste this time either.

He used these days to finish reading the book History of Magic.

To quickly understand a country or ethnic group, the best way is to study their history.

Although foreign history has a lot of falsification, it still has some reference value.

History of Magic recorded rich content and events.

From the origin of magic, the formation of magical society, the evolution of Wizard and Muggle relations, Goblin rebellions, Giant wars, and so on.

Brook looked at it from every angle and only saw two words: "man-eating."

When he read it in conjunction with the wizengamot charter and related laws that Dumbledore gave him, the two traits of power and discrimination became particularly prominent.

Treating other races with such power and discrimination was not a problem.

After all, Great Xia has always been the most discriminatory towards outsiders since ancient times.

He was a Great Xia person in his previous life, and this had long been ingrained in his bones, so he didn't feel there was any problem.

But this power and discrimination were particularly evident even within the Wizard community.

It was somewhat similar to the caste system in India.

It just wasn't openly displayed.

This was a bit outrageous.

There is less than a month until "8.19", so it seems he needs to prepare early.

"I have to go out in a couple of days."

Brook looked at Hermione, who was using the Reparo spell to fix a wooden block damaged by a cutting spell, and said.

"Going out? Where are you going?"

"India."

"India, do you have relatives there?"

"Sort of!"

Brook did have many relatives, but most of them were in Britain.

Hermione's question was easy to understand.

India was once a British colony after all, so it was not uncommon to have relatives there.

"It's not safe for you to go alone, why don't I ask my dad to go with you?" Hermione said, somewhat worriedly.

"No need, someone will receive me there."

"That's good, but you must be careful."

"Don't worry."

"Later, I'll have my dad take you to the airport."

Brook smiled, looking at Hermione's determined expression.

"Okay."

He knew what Hermione was worried about.

Britain is not as safe as Great Xia.

An 11-year-old child taking a taxi alone, no one knows where they might end up.

Although he could go through a space door, this little girl would definitely be worried.

In the following days, Hermione did not disturb Brook again.

She probably knew that Brook needed to prepare before going out, so she gave him enough time.

After careful disguise, Brook went to Diagon Alley again.

It must be said that "Asian evil arts" are indeed abnormal.

His originally handsome and youthful face, after some makeup, instantly transformed into a mature and steady appearance.

Coupled with his height of 1.58 meters, although slightly short, the overall look was completely natural.

In Diagon Alley, Brook successfully completed five not-too-complicated tasks.

He obtained five chances to draw prizes.

Have an exclusive vault at Gringotts.

Own a land deed in Diagon Alley.

Eat ten different flavors of ice cream consecutively at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.

Talk to an owl at Eeylops Owl Emporium for more than 10 minutes.

Purchase a Dark Arts book.

The requirement to open a vault at Gringotts was an initial deposit of one thousand Galleons.

This was a small matter for Brook, who had a lot of gold.

It's just that the exchange rate was really a rip-off.

One ounce of gold, which is over 31 grams of gold, could only be exchanged for three Galleons.

In terms of pure gold weight, it reached an astonishing 10 to 1.

It was only because Brook had enough gold that he was willing to exchange it this way.

As for the land deed, it was even simpler.

He just casually mentioned it to a Goblin, and the Goblin took out more than a dozen consignment shop listings for him.

He chose the cheapest one, as long as it completed the task.

He found the Dark Arts book in a junk shop.

There were mountains of incomplete second-hand books there.

As for how to choose a Dark Arts book?

As long as he could learn it instantly, that would work.

He could bring Hermione here later.

Although the books here were incomplete, many had a lot of annotations and notes, which he believed Hermione would love.

As for tasks like running the most popular shop in Diagon Alley, he wouldn't even consider them.

Not only would they be time-consuming and laborious, but he might end up with only a "thank you for your patronage" in the end.

It was already good that he could complete these tasks.

The system dared to give out such tasks, was it giving him face?

System: "¥#@%…"

Before drawing, Brook, as usual, bathed and changed, praying to all the gods in the sky.

"System draw, five consecutive draws."

"Thank you for your patronage"

"Thank you for your patronage"

"Thank you for your patronage"

"Thank you for your patronage"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Asgardian Power"

This power grants Asgardians extraordinary physical qualities, powerful combat abilities, and a long lifespan.

This power will increase with the host's age, reaching its peak when they become an adult.

Note: Asgardians reach adulthood at 200 years old.

Brook's eyes widened when he saw the draw result (⊙o⊙).

Could this be the Asgard of Thor, the God of Thunder, from the Avengers?

He instantly became excited.

If he remembered correctly, the average lifespan of Asgardians was as high as 5000 years, almost a quarter of Great Xia's history.

He quickly activated Occlumency, forcing himself to calm down.

He also closed the spinning wheel in his mind.

After a while, Brook let out a heavy breath.

A long lifespan was a good thing.

But he was only 11 years old now, and a longer lifespan was for the future.

Living comfortably was the most important thing.

He tried to lift a corner of the coffee table.

It was very easy.

His current strength was comparable to that of an ordinary adult.

He also tried the power of the Door-Door Fruit.

Various doors could now be cast instantly.

And the distance of the space door changed from three thousand meters to twenty thousand meters.

However, the moving door was still very difficult, making it almost impossible to use in combat.

Three days later, Brook embarked on his journey to India.

His primary task was, of course, to scout the location.

This time, Brook learned his lesson.

He chose ICICI Bank, a private bank in India.

As an investor, and with a box of gold bars as his calling card, he thoroughly observed the bank's vault.

He didn't know if it was the Indian's mysterious confidence or some other reason.

The bank manager actually told him all the vault's protective measures without reservation.

This allowed Brook to not even trigger a single alarm during his actions that night.

He easily pocketed most of the wealth in the vault.

It was incredibly easy.
