Crime Lord of the British Wizarding World
If you were to ask whether the Bell Family possesses any Dark Magic Items, the answer would undoubtedly be yes.
Just kidding. These days, if you don't have dozens or even hundreds of Dark Magic Items in your collection, you're almost embarrassed to call yourself Pure-blood.
Not to mention, in the past, selling Dark Magic Items was the mainstay of the Menethil Family's business. Therefore, the Dark Magic Items in their household were counted by the box.
What? You're asking about the Philosopher's Stone?
When you go to a store to buy clothes, do you pay attention to which plastic mannequin looks good?
That's right! The Philosopher's Stone is that model!
If they were only relying on selling Philosopher's Stone, the Menethil Family would have gone out of business long ago.
Wizards these days are all incredibly stingy!
Once you buy a Philosopher's Stone, it's passed down from father to son, son to grandson, and generation after generation endlessly... cough cough! In short, it's practically becoming a family heirloom!
Hogwarts is a prime example of being stingy.
The Philosopher's Stone and Magical Armor in the castle have been in use for almost a thousand years, and no headmaster has ever suggested replacing them.
Therefore, the main focus is actually on the things on the statue, such as the necklace around its neck, the crown on its head, and the trinkets it holds in its hands.
As for the Philosopher's Stone?
It was just a free gift.
Since Bell invented various magical items, some practical and some interesting, William stopped selling Dark Magic Items.
Of course, the pile of Dark Magic Items at home couldn't just be thrown away.
That's all money! William isn't like his son, wasting money. He's a thrifty and hardworking man.
Actually, all those Dark Magic Items are carried by Bell with him at all times.
Yes, you read that right. Bell unwittingly became a major figure in the British Wizarding World. If the Ministry of Magic were to discover the Dark Magic Items he possessed, he might be imprisoned in Azkaban for 'ten thousand years'.
Of course, Bell had no intention of doing anything malicious. His collection of those Dark Magic Items was actually for research and improvement. Many of the powerful magical items in Shanna's handbag were inspired by those Dark Magic Items.
Ahem, sorry, I've gone off-topic.
Let's turn our attention back to the present.
Bell felt very embarrassed after hearing his father describe Arthur Weasley's tragic situation.
It turns out that the eldest brother was making fun of the second brother, and the eight ounces were mocking the half-pound.
Fortunately, he didn't say what was on his mind, otherwise his unscrupulous father would have laughed at him for a whole year.
Five minutes have passed...
Ten minutes have passed...
Half an hour has passed...
"Sister Yomi, it's alright, there's no rush, we're really not in a hurry at all."
Seeing Yomi on the verge of tears, even though Bell was extremely impatient, how could he possibly say anything?
I don't know if there were too many people trying to hail a taxi, or too few taxis? Of course, it could also just be that the Bell family was simply having bad luck.
In short, they had been waiting for more than half an hour, but they still couldn't hail a taxi.
Yomi wasn't naive enough to take Bell's words of comfort at face value. Forget Bell's family, even she herself had been stuck there for half an hour without being able to hail a taxi, and she was practically ready to draw her knife and start stabbing someone!
After thinking it over, Yomi gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Come with me, I have a solution."
The Bell family followed Yomi with puzzlement, wondering what he planned to do.
Led by Yomi, the group quickly arrived at a secluded corner.
When they saw Yomi turn around, take off his sword sheath from his back, and draw his sword, William and Elena both tensed up.
"Shanna, never mind, never mind, don't rush to take out your Wand."
Bell once again firmly held down his younger sister's right hand to prevent the little girl from throwing an Explosion Curse at her.
Have similar situations been happening quite often lately? Bell went from being caught off guard and breaking out in a cold sweat at first, to now handling the situation with practiced ease.
However, Shanna really can't be blamed this time. If Bell hadn't failed to sense any malice from Yomi, and if the earring hadn't given him a warning, "Sister Yomi" might have become "Yomi- chan" by now.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm, I'm really very sorry!"
Seeing the Bell family's reaction, Yomi realized how rash his actions had been.
The person she's with now isn't her usual comrade from the Countermeasures Office, someone she frequently fights alongside to eliminate evil spirits. To draw her sword without a word in front of someone she's just meeting is bound to be misunderstood.
"This sword is called ' Lion King,' a treasured sword passed down through generations of the Isayama Family. A spirit beast named ' Ran Honglian ' resides within it. If you don't mind, you can ride on Ran Honglian's back to get around."
Yomi hurriedly explained.
After hearing Yomi's explanation, William and Elena relaxed their guard a little, but they had no intention of putting away their Wand for the time being.
"Not at all, not at all. In fact, it's great!"
Unlike his wary parents, Bell showed great interest when he heard that a spirit beast resided within the long katana.
Bell's main purpose in coming to Japan this time was to acquire knowledge about how Onmyoji create, raise, and control Shikigami.
I never expected to see Shikigami in person on my very first day in Japan. And judging from the dangerous aura emanating from that sword, it's probably no ordinary Shikigami. How could Bell not be excited?
Of course, as excited as he was, Bell wouldn't let his guard down. After all, his little sister was right beside him. He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Shanna.
Don't be fooled by Bell's seemingly calm demeanor; in reality, he has long been prepared to enter battle at any moment.
However, to be fair, this Sister Yomi actually gave such a detailed introduction to her treasured sword to us, who were meeting her for the first time?
Bell really didn't know whether to call the other person sincere or naive.
Isn't she afraid that her family might have bad intentions?
Don't flaunt your wealth, young lady!
"Ran Honglian!"
With a sharp shout from Yomi, a powerful surge of magical energy emanated from Yomi and spread outwards.
Amidst Bell's anticipation, Shanna's curiosity, and William and Elena's awe, a colossal beast, 4 or 5 meters tall and nearly 10 meters long, appeared behind Yomi.
This colossal beast was entirely red, with a thick mane running down its back. Its face was ferocious, with six pairs of eyes, totaling twelve. Its gaping maw was filled with fangs, sending chills down the spine of anyone who beheld it.
Behind the behemoth were several tails. Upon closer inspection, those tails turned out to be giant pythons.
"Bell, are we really going to ride on this monster's back? Or should we just take a taxi? I suddenly miss riding in Muggle cars."
William was starting to back down. He now seriously suspected that some troublemakers were trying to harm him!
Once he gets close, the little girl will immediately reveal her true form and order the giant beast to swallow him whole.
