He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 84 London Ministry of Magic

The small pouch tied to the wizard's robe had been secretly stretched with a tamper spell by Tom. Although it looked only the size of a palm, it was actually as big as a fifty-square-meter room.

The Seamless Stretch Charm is an advanced spell that can expand an existing space.

It is officially forbidden to use privately by the Ministry of Magic, the government of the wizarding world, but most wizards secretly use it because it is indeed a very convenient spell.

Generally speaking, unless you're caught red-handed in front of an Auror (the wizarding police) from the Ministry of Magic, they won't specifically check whether your items have been coated with a Stretch Mark Charm.

"Such a large rune snake can probably only be found in this kind of primeval forest."

As they passed by the tall trees, Tom kept a close watch to avoid being attacked by other magical creatures while recalling the information he had about the Runeboding Serpent from his memory.

For example, the Neanderthal snake is native to the small African country of Burkina Faso. It is normally only two or three meters long and was a favorite pet of ancient black sorcerers, used specifically to scare Muggles (ordinary humans).

It is also currently the only magical creature in the wizarding world that lays eggs from its mouth. Its eggs can be used to make magical potions that stimulate brain responses, and are very valuable.

Although the runic snake that Li Chuan killed did not lay eggs, it could grow to seven or eight meters long, and it could probably be sold for a good price in Fandao Alley.

After all, besides the eggs, the venom of the Neanderthal snake and its skin are also very valuable.

He leaps through the Albanian forests, avoiding the strange and wondrous creatures he sees whenever possible, only striking to kill them when absolutely necessary.

It wasn't because he had a kind heart to protect magical creatures; it was mainly because each of those magical creatures had its own unique abilities, and without understanding them, one might easily get caught off guard and suffer a setback.

His current identity is that of a descendant of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clans. Although they have declined, they still have some wealth, and he also runs a herbal medicine shop in Diagon Alley, so he is not short of Galleons.

Therefore, there's no need to provoke those magical creatures whose abilities are unclear before you've even established yourself.

He sped along, relying on his superior physical abilities and chakra, and finally left the Albanian forest before nightfall, returning to the city of Albania.

Tom found the wizard's inn in Albany based on his memory, rested for one night, and arrived at the Ministry of Magic in Albany the next day.

The Ministry of Magic in Albany has only three floors. The entrance is a striking black pine tree in the city park, which can only be seen by wizards because it is protected by a Muggle-blocking charm.

Touching the black pine tree will take you to the hall on the second floor of the underground Ministry of Magic.

Perhaps because the country's Muggles had just overthrown the local government and established a republic, the situation was rather chaotic, so there weren't many wizards in the Ministry of Magic.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear in the hall, a witch wearing glasses and reading a magic book stood up and asked him a question.

At this moment, in the eyes of the people of this world, Li Chuan resembled Tom Foley, possessing very obvious characteristics of British aristocracy, which is why the witch spoke somewhat broken English.

"I'd like to rent a door key."

Li Chuan replied politely.

Most ordinary wizards travel long distances across borders by boat or train, just like everyone else. Those who are slightly wealthier may choose to rent Portkeys from the Ministry of Magic.

A door key is a special spatial magic item that allows multiple people to teleport over long distances.

You can also use a flying broom, but you generally won't do it unless absolutely necessary, because the distance is too far and you'll easily get blown away.

As for Apparition, Floo Powder, and Wizard Bus, they all have their own limitations.

Apparition can only teleport you to places you've already been, and the distance depends on your mastery of the spell, but most people can't teleport very far.

Floo Powder requires a fireplace connected to the Floo Network to be used, and Wizard Buses mainly travel within cities in various countries.

Of course, there are also special means of travel such as flying horse carriages and magic ships, but these are not things that ordinary wizards can own, and they also require relevant permits.

Tom Foley is neither poor nor particularly wealthy, so he mostly uses door keys for international travel.

"Go to the third basement level, to the office with the key to Aria, and you'll find her."

The witch pointed to the magical spiral staircase in front of Li Chuan and replied.

Li Chuan nodded, took the automatically rotating wooden staircase, and went down to the third basement floor to find the wizard Aria.

After registering and paying one gold gallon and twelve silver siscons, Wizard Aria pointed to the white wizard statue beside him and said:

"Just put your arm around his shoulder."

Galleons are the currency of the wizarding world. One Galleon is equal to seventeen silver siequos, and one silver siequo is equal to twenty-nine copper nats.

One Galleon normally has the purchasing power of five pounds in a typical human society. Of course, this is for a period of more than sixty years; it is estimated to be even higher in the current timeframe.

One pound costs twelve silver sieverts; to be honest, most wizards wouldn't really be willing to spend that much money.

However, it is indeed great value for money.

As soon as Li Chuan's hand touched the statue's shoulder, he felt something hook his body and lift his feet off the ground. When he came to his senses, he was already inside the Department of Magical Transportation on the sixth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic in London.

"It's really amazing, I got from Albania to London in an instant."

Looking at the wizards from all over the world who were being teleported here by the portal keys, just like him, and those wizards who were leaving on various portal keys, Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

After completing the registration, he took the magic elevator to the lobby on the eighth floor based on his memory.

The London Ministry of Magic has ten floors, more than ten times larger than the Albanian Ministry of Magic, and is very grand, even magnificent.

Especially the striking Magic Brothers Fountain, which is made entirely of gold.

Moreover, there are a lot of wizards here, a dense crowd of people, including the Ministry of Magic's numerous staff members and various wizards who come to conduct business.

Some of them carried piles of rickety parchment, some carried tattered briefcases, and some read magical newspapers as they walked.

As Li Chuan walked towards the location of the Fiery Fireplace diagonally opposite the main hall, he easily spotted the contents of the newspapers thanks to his superior eyesight.

"The terrifying dark wizard Grindelwald escaped from an international manhunt, much to the celebration of his fanatical followers."

Serafina Piqueli, president of the Magical Congress of the United States, believes that the responsibility for the failed capture operation lies entirely with Heinrich Eberstadt, the Swiss representative of the International Confederation of Wizards.
