There was a shout in my ears.
Lycos subconsciously turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a police vest waving at him with a serious face.
"Hello, officer." Lycos nodded in surprise.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly focused... He noticed that the policeman's other hand was hidden behind his back, the veins on his neck were exposed, and it was obvious that his muscles were extremely tense.
I am just an unarmed young man, why can I make the police so nervous?
Lycos suddenly thought of the shocking words on the screen -
"The United Nations has officially declared war on the magical world!"
Could it be that……
"Where are you from? Someone reported you appearing here out of nowhere, acting suspiciously..." the police officer said coldly, "I need to verify your identity. Show me your driver's license."
There is no universal identity card in the UK.
Therefore, when police officers need to verify identities, they will more often use methods such as driver's licenses, passports, and tax receipts.
Lycos was completely confused about his current situation. Was this another time travel experience? Or had his twenty-something soul arrived in this future world, causing his body to undergo some changes, making it look more like his pre-time travel self?
"I'm sorry, officer. I haven't had time to get my driver's license yet." Lycos, still confused, could only perfunctorily say, "Let me think... Are there other documents that will do?"
As he said this, Lycos wanted to reach into his pocket to see if there was anything in it that could verify his guess.
As soon as his fingertips touched the lining of his suit jacket, the policeman opposite him suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and yelled, "Put your hands up! Don't move!"
Lycos froze.
"Stop!" the policeman's voice trembled, and he was obviously a little panicked. "If you dare to take out a small wooden stick from your clothes, I will shoot immediately!"
"Officer, what do you want me to do?" Lycos was a little helpless. To be on the safe side, he had to raise his hands first. "My ID is in my pocket. How can I get it out like this..."
After coming here, whether it was age, appearance, clothing or belongings, everything was different from before, and he could no longer feel the wand that he always carried with him in his sleeve.
It can be said that without a wand, Lycos could not find any sense of security, and even a Muggle with a gun would find it difficult to deal with it.
"Just stand there and don't move. I'll personally produce the identification!"
The policeman held his gun and moved towards Lecos cautiously step by step.
Lycos stared at his extremely tense face and thought to himself... If only he had a wand in his hand, he could at least use a Confusion Charm to fool this policeman.
In this world where Muggles have declared war on wizards, it is better not to expose yourself as much as possible if you are in the Muggle community.
While he was thinking, the policeman had already walked up to Lecos and put his hand into his coat pocket.
"What kind of identification are you looking for?" The policeman was visibly relieved when he didn't find the small wooden stick he imagined. "Your pockets are obviously empty."
Lycos didn't know how to explain it.
He fixed his eyes on the policeman, feeling the surging magic power in his body, and suddenly felt an urge in his heart... It seemed that he didn't need a magic wand.
"Confundo." Lycos opened his lips slightly and muttered.
"What did you say?" The policeman didn't hear clearly.
However, the next moment he didn't need to hear clearly - a silent spell, without even any color, suddenly hit the forehead covered by the police hat.
The policeman's eyes immediately became dull.
"Hello, officer. I'm an international student at University College Dublin," Lycos said quickly. "This is my first time here, so I'm not very familiar with the area. Could you tell me in which direction the nearest train station is?"
"So it's an international student..." The policeman reacted for a long time, then said blankly, "I know... The train station is in that direction, go straight for a mile and then turn left..."
Lycos nodded and turned away.
Before leaving, he glanced back at the policeman who was still standing there in a daze and frowned slightly.
The reaction to being hit by the Confusion Charm is quite obvious. It's unclear how much the Muggle government in this world knows about the wizarding world... and as one of the spells wizards often use to fool Muggles, the Confusion Charm is also the most likely to be known by Muggles.
Just in case, Lycos whispered two more spells.
"Finite."
"Obliviate."
First, he used the universal breaking spell to remove the confusion spell on the policeman, and then immediately used the forgetfulness spell to tamper with his memory, making him sincerely believe that he saw the student ID card on Lecos.
It was not until these two spells were successfully cast wandlessly that Lycos finally realized that the magic power in his body was far beyond what he had before he came in.
Now this adult body actually possesses enough magical power to match that of an adult wizard.
"If that's the case, then it will be much easier."
Lycos relaxed again and headed straight for the nearest train station.
He couldn't Apparate, and he didn't dare to call the Knight Bus openly in a Muggle city, so the best way was to disguise himself as a Muggle, sneak onto the train and go to the wizard gathering area, looking for companions and inquiring about Cassandra.
Along the way, all the big screens were playing BBC news, telling about the crimes of witches, explaining how to identify witches, and calling on everyone to report suspicious individuals...
The people around were in a hurry, often looking around and nervously observing their surroundings, fearing that a group of strange people riding brooms and wearing robes would suddenly attack them.
In this situation, Lycos arrived at Dublin Connolly Station.
……
Chapter 242 Exposed
Strangely enough, Lycos entered this world from Kilkenny Castle, but when he appeared, he was not in the corresponding place.
It seems that the positioning has shifted due to various factors.
At Dublin Connolly Station, Lycos hid in the crowd and secretly opened the small notebook Cassandra had given him. He finally saw a line of elegant handwriting:
"If you do come, find me at the British Ministry of Magic."
She really is in this world.
Lycos breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing.
It was obvious that in the world of the 90s, he had tried every possible means to evade the inspection of the Ministry of Magic and went to Ireland to find Cassandra; but after coming to this world of the 21st century, he had to evade the search of the Muggle government and go to the British Ministry of Magic to look for her.
"The next train to platform 3 is the 10:20 train to Kilkenny."
The station's voice announcement sounded in the waiting hall.
Lycos stood up and walked straight to the station bathroom.
In fact, he didn't buy a ticket at all. After all, he was penniless and had no bank card or ID. If he used magic to forge a ticket, he was afraid of being discovered by the Muggle government.
Fortunately, with the unprecedented expansion of magic power in his body, Lecos is now able to use the Disillusionment Spell freely.
Lycos avoided surveillance in the toilet, hid his figure, and followed the crowd to the ticket gate.
He intuitively felt that the Wally family was still hiding some secrets, so he decided to go to Kilkenny Castle first to take a look, and then go to London to find Cassandra.
It only takes an hour to drive from Dublin to Kilkenny, which doesn't take much time...
However, when Lycos walked to the ticket gate, he found that a row of water droplets were dripping neatly down above the ticket gate. They fell to the ground and then magically disappeared.
Every passenger will pass through this small waterfall formed by water droplets when checking their tickets.
They seemed to be used to it, and at most complained a few times that the water droplets wet their clothes.
Lycos frowned and stared at the small water droplets carefully.
He clearly felt that there was a magical aura in it, and this kind of magical aura was somewhat familiar... just like the anti-theft waterfall at Gringotts.
How could there be a thief-proof waterfall in a mere Muggle ticket checking hall?
Lycos stopped almost instantly, his brain working rapidly.
Perhaps the goblins, hoping to gain more wealth, were successfully bribed by the Muggles? Or perhaps some wizards joined the Muggle camp and brought some magical skills to the Muggles?
Thinking of this, Lycos's thoughts flew even further away.
He should have thought of this earlier. If a war really broke out between the Muggle and wizarding worlds, many Muggle-born wizards would resist joining the war, after all, their parents were obviously Muggles.
The most typical case is Hermione Granger.
Lycos knew very well that this little witch, who was the same age as him, would join the Ministry of Magic in the future and eventually become the Minister of Magic...
Although I don’t know if my former classmates or familiar characters are still there in this world line, there will definitely be doves in the Ministry of Magic who do not support the war.
This gave Lycos a headache.
He had no idea how this Muggle-Wizard War had come about.
So Lycos didn't think any more about it. He bypassed the small anti-theft waterfall formed by water droplets and jumped out of an open window in the waiting room. He then released the Disillusionment Spell in the corner of the wall and quietly merged into the crowd entering the station again.
Although the trains in the UK or Ireland run very slowly and are often late, there is one good thing about them -
Inside the carriage, there will be an electronic display screen under the luggage rack indicating whether the seat is reserved. Unreserved seats will show "Available".
Passengers who have not purchased seat tickets can choose to sit in seats marked "vacant".
With this feature, Lycos, a fare dodger, can also have his own seat... Of course, the premise is that he doesn't encounter a ticket inspector.
"Young man, you don't look like a local. Where are you going?"
After I sat down, an old man across the aisle started talking to me enthusiastically.
"Let's go to Kilkenny," Lycos said, once again arranging his identity as an international student. "I'm an international student at University College Dublin, and I want to go over there and see Kilkenny Castle."
"From China, right? Studying in Ireland hasn't been a good choice these past two years." The old man shook his head. "I, an old man, never dreamed that there really were wizards in this world, and that they were waging war against us!"
"I heard that the Chinese government has reached a cooperation with those wizards and is starting to consider incorporating magic into infrastructure construction... I don't know what happened here, but we actually got into a war!"
The old man was obviously angry at the other person for not fighting back, and he slammed the armrest of the chair.
"The American side is even more outrageous. It's obvious that those wizards emerged from their side, yet their government is doing nothing and has adopted an appeasement policy similar to that of World War II!"
Lycos listened silently without saying anything.
Listening to the old man's story, there was also World War II in this world. It seems that the world line is still familiar to him.
"And I'm surprised, old man. Didn't you watch the news?" the old man suddenly asked.
"I really don't like watching the news. What do you want to say?" Lycos was slightly stunned.
"In this wartime, there are probably few people left who don't watch the news..." The old man sneered, "You didn't know that Kilkenny Castle has been occupied by wizards!"
Lycos frowned slightly.
