Volume 4 Chapter 165: Transforming into a Cat!
It wasn't until Lin Xiao left a few minutes later that Ollivan suddenly realized he had been shortchanged a large sum of money.
To know that he just collected three gold kalons from Lin Xiao, which was only the price of an ordinary magic wand. Like the high-quality magic wands Lin Xiao bought, the lowest price would be ten gold kalons, and Lin Xiao's wand was worth thirty-five gold kalons, but he only collected three, what a huge loss!
This also led to a customer who walked into the store after Lin Xiao seeing Olivander's gloomy face, which scared the little boy who was just about to start school, and in a state of anxiety, he bought his first wand in life, leaving him with a deep psychological shadow, I don't know if he will still like magic as before.
……
"Fluorescent flicker!"
"The teacup is flying over!"
"Open sesame!"
"Viva la Revolución!"
"How ridiculous!"
"Hurry up and grow bigger!"
"Shrink quickly!"
In the room, Lin Xiao held a newly purchased magic wand in one hand and experimented with the few spells he knew.
Because it's in a room, some magic with relatively large attack power can't be experimented here, and some magic like the Three Great Unforgivable Curses also can't be experimented. The reason is simple: there's no target!
After practicing for several hundred times in his room until Lin Xiao felt that he had thoroughly mastered these spells, he finally stopped.
"The mental strength consumed is about one-tenth, and without the magic wand, it would have been around half. The effect of this wand is indeed excellent!" Lin Xiao's face lit up with joy as he looked at the magic wand in his hand. Now that he had practiced some magic, he also planned to go to Fan Dao Xiang tomorrow to catch a dark wizard to practice some spells that couldn't be done alone.
As of now...
Lin Xiao put away the magic wand, placing it in a special wand case. He then took out the flask containing the Rejuvenation Potion from his system space and opened the bottle, taking a gulp with a 'glug glug' sound.
He put away the wine jug, and Lin Xiao felt his body begin to twist and deform bit by bit. As he watched his arms and legs shrink inward bit by bit, Lin Xiao's face turned incredibly eerie.
In the process, he did not feel any pain. About a minute later, Lin Xiao had completely transformed into a Persian cat with beautiful golden fur.
Meow!
Lin Xiao opened his mouth and let out a cat's cry.
"Not bad, there's no discomfort in the body, although magic can't be used like this, but yuan and nian powers are not restricted, overall strength hasn't decreased."
Lin Xiao immediately felt the changes in his body, turning into a cat did not reduce his strength. He was not a pure wizard, unable to use magic and only lost some unusual means, which did not affect his overall strength.
"I recall that Hermione had also taken a draught made from the hair of a cat in the original story, but she only transformed into a humanoid cat girl, unlike me who directly turned into a complete cat."
Ling Xiao didn't know where the difference lay, guessing that perhaps Hermione's concoction at the time wasn't perfect yet, after all it was her first attempt, and being able to succeed was already quite good, wanting to make it so perfect was absolutely impossible.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, had gone through dozens of experiments, with Xiang'er occasionally pointing out a few sentences, and the compound decoction he refined was not perfect, but it was absolutely far superior to Hermione's at that time.
"Go out and take a walk. Get familiar with the life of a cat." Lin Xiao lightly jumped from the chair to the ground, walking towards the door with light and elegant steps.
As soon as he had the thought, the door opened automatically, and Lin Xiao transformed into a golden flash of lightning. He disappeared directly at the entrance.
Alleyway
A Persian cat with beautiful golden fur was weaving through the crowd, occasionally attracting some little girls' admiring glances, but his speed was too fast. Before they could even think of catching him to take home and raise him, he had already disappeared into the depths of the crowd.
Meow!
Lin Xiao lightly jumped and landed in the arms of a young man with beautiful golden hair right before her eyes.
"York, is that your pet cat?" The owner of the pet store was a middle-aged witch wearing a colorful robe, she looked at York's golden Persian cat in his arms with a surprised expression and eyes full of affection.
"Can I have him?" She looked at York with expectation.
But York shook his head, "Respected madam, I want my partner to choose his new master himself."
The owner of the pet store heard this and immediately smiled and squatted down, opening his arms to look at the cat in York's arms.
"Come here, okay?"
The witch's tight dress was about to burst with the two fullness in front of her chest when she squatted down, and the deep ditch in the snow-white area shook up and down with her movements.
Lin Xiao's charming sky-blue eyes rolled around, but she completely ignored the female witch and instead burrowed into York's arms, as if frightened.
The witch's face flashed a hint of embarrassment, and she stood up with a bitter smile.
"York, it seems your kitty doesn't want me to be his new master. Alright, I'll let you put him in the store and let him choose his own new master!" The witch didn't get angry at Lin Xiao for not choosing her, instead she generously agreed to York's previous request.
York's face burst into a brilliant smile, he nodded vigorously, then hugged Lin Xiao and put him on the outermost window cabinet.
York is actually Lin Xiao's doppelganger, except that he changed his doppelganger's black hair to blonde and his eyes to blue. He looks somewhat similar to him, but absolutely no one would think they are the same person. At most, people might think they look a bit alike, but there are many people in this world who look alike. Even if Lin Xiao appears in this world with his true face in the future, no one will associate him with York, who works at the pet store.
That day Lin Xiao spent in the pet store, to others he seemed like a beautiful golden Persian cat resting, but in fact he was cultivating.
After practicing for a whole day, when York got off work in the evening, Lin Xiao was also taken away, but the two separated halfway.
Lin Xiao went directly to Fan Dao Xiang, halfway through finding a deserted place and drinking another mouthful of compound potion, transforming into the appearance of another male wizard.
In the following days, Lin Xiao practiced behind the pet store window during the day and waited for Hermione's arrival. At night, he transformed into other male wizards to experiment with dark magic or some lethal white magic in the alleys.
In about ten days or so, Lin Xiao had become quite skilled in the use of these magics, and on the other hand, he had finally waited for the person he wanted to wait for.
Hermione, the future genius witch, is now just a buck-toothed little girl with a head of curly long hair that makes her look much more mature. Beside her are her Muggle parents.
Her father was a dentist, in Western countries, dentists are promoted to a relatively high level, many wealthy nobles have their own dentists, they attach great importance to their teeth, and also make the profession of dentistry particularly respected.
But in the wizarding world, no matter what you were doing in Muggle society, here you have only one title.
Idiot!
Wizards look down on Muggles, and Muggles are intimidated by wizards. However, with the development of the times, many pieces of information about wizards have been outdated for hundreds of years. The technology developed by Muggles makes them feel amazed, but most people still disdain to associate with Muggles. Only a very small number of people are very curious about Muggles, which is how the so-called Muggle Studies came into being.
For Lin Xiao, this is simply boring. If you want to understand the Muggle world, just go live in the Muggle world for a few years and you'll understand everything.
It's 1991, a time of rapid technological progress, and yet the research these wizards are doing is incredibly dull, with people like Mr. Weasley even going so far as to modify Muggle objects into magical items.
Strange hobby!
Meow!
Through the glass window, Lin Xiao gave a friendly shout at Hermione who was staring at him outside.
"Dad, Mum, come and look at this kitty! Isn't it adorable?" Hermione bounced over to her parents, who were chatting with a wizard about teeth, and dragged them over, excitedly pointing at Lin Xiao in the window.
"Really a lovely cat, he must be a purebred Persian?" Mrs. Granger looked at Lin Xiao in the window, her eyes were more subtle than Hermione's, but Mr. Granger still saw the loving color in his wife's eyes.
"Shall we buy it?" Mr. Granjer said to his wife and daughter.
"Really? Can I really?" Hermione looked at her father with an excited face, "Can I take him to school?"
Mr. Granje smiled and rubbed his daughter's hair, nodding gently.
"Of course."
Inside the window, Lin Xiao couldn't help but stifle a few laughs as he clearly heard Hermione's family conversation. Apparently, his first step plan was successful, and everything that followed became logical and natural.
At this time, Hermione's family had already pushed the door and walked into the pet store. Hermione ran to the window in the first time and stared at Lin Xiao, looking at him.
"Kitty, want to go home with me?" She blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Xiao with a face full of expectation, her two small hands gently opening, expecting Lin Xiao to throw himself into her arms.
The owner of the pet store couldn't help but laugh at little Hermione's actions, but she was soon shocked to see that the strange Persian cat, which had been aloof and uninterested in anyone since the first day it arrived at her store, had this time jumped voluntarily into the little girl's arms.
"Dad, Mom, look!" Hermione excitedly shouted to her parents, holding Lin Xiao tightly in her arms.
Mrs. Granger and Mr. Granger smiled at their daughter, then turned their heads towards the witch.
