Chapter 127: The Items Are Just Stored in the Shop, They’re Still Yours!

In Delius's eyes, the Extendable Ears were truly a cost-effective and excellent item.

Aurors often needed to track or investigate the identities of their targets during their tasks. Using magic could easily be detected by the other party, and attempting to get close and cozy might raise their suspicions. If there was an auxiliary tool, it would be much more convenient.

Not to mention, the special price was only sixteen Sickles, less than one Galleon. It couldn't get any cheaper!

The only thing Delius found a bit disappointing was that the appearance of the Extendable Ears was too obvious. Two ears, clearly a listening device, and it needed to be connected with a thin wire.

At worst, he could use Muggle technology to disguise it. Ivan believed that technology was much stronger than magic when it came to eavesdropping.

Considering that the Auror captain hadn't brought enough money, Ivan kindly said,

"If you don't have enough money now, you can make a reservation and pay half as a deposit!"

As he spoke, Ivan poured half of the bag of Galleons back to Delius and then took back the Protective Ring.

Delius subconsciously followed Ivan's actions, but then realized something was off. Why not bring the money tomorrow and buy it then?

"These items are limited in quantity. Once you reserve one, there's one less available", Ivan explained, then added seriously,

"Besides, the items you buy are just temporarily stored here. They are still yours!"

Delius nodded, thinking it made sense.

After getting back half of the Galleons, Delius felt wealthier again. He decided to buy a Extendable Ears to use immediately and reserved a luxury version.

Next, Ivan introduced the Quick-Answer Quill to Delius, emphasizing that it could automatically help him complete tedious paperwork tasks.

Although Delius had seen this item before, he had been too anxious to consider buying it. Now, it was different.

Hearing Ivan's explanation, Delius quickly understood that the Quick-Answer Quill could significantly improve his daily work efficiency, so he spent more money to buy it.

"Brain Boost Potion, which can keep your brain alert and help you notice various clues during tracking tasks." Ivan pointed to the potion on the other side.

"Buy!" Delius gritted his teeth.

"Smooth Hair Potion, I think your hair might need some grooming."

"Buy!"

"Fake Wand"

"Buy!"

Delius instinctively said this, but when he received the two items from Ivan, he realized these toys might not be useful to him.

Why buy them for no reason?

But seeing Ivan's expectant face, he had no choice but to dig out the last few silver Sickles from his light money bag, considering it as support for the anti-dark magic cause.

Meanwhile, Ellison had also spent all the savings he had accumulated during this time and even went into debt.

Because Ivan kindly provided an Installment Payment service, all he needed to do was sign a Magical Contract.

Spend tomorrow's salary to buy today's combat power. It was the most conscientious service one could ask for.

When the three of them walked out of the magic shop, they all felt as if they had been drained, but looking at the pile of items in their arms, they suddenly felt much more fulfilled.

Inside the shop, Ivan was happily counting the Galleons in the bag, which amounted to nearly a hundred!

This was just a small part of it. According to the agreement, the three Aurors had to pay another two hundred Galleons over the next six months!

Ivan anticipated that he wouldn't be able to get any more money from these three in the short term.

The shop had also become much emptier, with most of the items on the counter already sold.

As for the Protective Ring, Ivan decided not to keep it in the shop. Instead, he let Delius use it, so it could help Delius promote him when he went to the Ministry of Magic.

After Ivan finished counting the Galleons, a pale arm reached out, snatched the bag of Galleons, and then placed ten Galleons on the table.

Ivan: ???

Was that all he was getting? Ivan looked at Aisia with a grudge.

"These few Galleons aren't even enough to cover your previous expenses!" Aisia said irritably.

Ivan thought about it and realized she was right. The purple yew wood for practicing magical rune engraving, the metals used for making magical items, and the countless materials wasted during his research on rune arrangements—all of these required a significant amount of Galleons.

When it came down to it, the Galleons he earned today could only be considered a partial recovery of his costs.

If he wanted to make money, he still needed to rely on the large orders from the Ministry of Magic.

What truly surprised Ivan was that the system hadn't marked the task as completed yet.

Had the Ministry of Magic not finished their review?

Or was it not time for the evaluation yet?

At the Ministry of Magic, in the Department of Enforcement, in the Auror command center.

The current Head of Department, Pierce Scrimgeour, sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression. Auror chief Rufus Scrimgeour stood quietly to the side, looking very grim.

The two of them were listening to the reports from several Auror captains.

"When we tracked the seventy-second target, we encountered fierce resistance, and two of our members were seriously injured."

"The one who injured us was a Dark Wizard. He suddenly used a powerful Dark Magic Item during the fight, and we didn't have time to react."

"Worthless, worthless! You had four Aurors, and not only did two of you get injured, but you didn't even manage to catch that Dark Wizard!" Pierce slammed his fist on the table, roaring angrily in the office.

The Auror captain who was reporting bowed his head, not daring to contradict, his face full of guilt.

After a long tirade, Pierce finally calmed down a bit, pacing in front of the desk, his worry almost making his hair fall out.

It was only then that Rufus Scrimgeour dared to speak up to offer some advice.

"Head of Department, we can't entirely blame the Seventh Action Team for the failure of this task. The effects of Dark Magic Items are unpredictable, and some are extremely powerful. I believe the Aurors did their best."

Pierce sighed and nodded helplessly. Since the department began its large-scale investigation into the proliferation of dark magic, he had heard similar reports countless times.

Almost every day, one or two Aurors were injured, and just yesterday, the first casualty occurred when an unfortunate Auror was blown to pieces by a triggered Dark Magic Item during a search.

He had already died before reaching St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
