There is no doubt that the overturned lane is a mixed place. There are many very suspicious magic items for sale, and there are also many very suspicious male and female wizards coming and going.

If you have a heart, you can even find some things that violate both law and morality here.

In short, this place is not only not suitable for children, but also for adults.

But, of course - since the overturned lane is a place directly connected with Diagon lane, even if there is some darkness hidden here, it is by no means an extrajudicial place.

Especially in this period, the more the "grey wizards" who used to love to test on the edge of the law, the more they don't even have the courage to do anything special.

Therefore, the overturned lanes in recent years are really nothing special except some difficult abductions.

At this moment, pansy and eluli were following Martin all the way. After avoiding three Aurors in the lane, they soon followed Martin to a narrow shop.

As soon as he entered the door, pansy immediately asked, a disgusting stench. Obviously, the reason why she didn't smell anything outside the door was that someone had imposed some barriers to the escape of the smell.

However, perhaps it is because of the invisible barrier that the stench can not be dispersed at all, which makes the taste of the store so amazing.

When pansy quickly picked up his nose, he was able to breathe a little slowly.

"Here... Do you sell magic wands?"

She resisted the impulse to turn around and quit immediately. She looked around at the layout of the store, but there were some creepy magic materials on the shelves placed against the wall.

When she looked carefully again, she immediately found the source of the stench - it was a water tank placed in the corner with a big sack filled with things.

Pansy did not want to know what was in the sack, which had already been soaked in dark red.

Listening to pansy's inquiry, Martin, standing in front, waved his hand.

"No, not here," he said. "This is the magic material store run by a friend of mine I told you before. When I call out my friend, I'll let her take you to buy a magic wand - you know, it's more convenient than me to take you. After all, there are those damn Aurors everywhere outside!"

Martin's explanation was really reasonable, and to be honest, pansy didn't want to be with him at all.

"Oh, I see," she nodded immediately. "It's really the best choice."

As he was saying this, Martin shouted softly to the innermost part of the shop:

"Muriel? Are you there? It's me - Martin. I need you to do me a little favor!"

Before the words fell, pansy and eluli heard a sudden pounding sound inside, and immediately followed, they saw a thin figure stumble out of it.

According to Martin's address to the other party, it was obviously a witch, and the other party's messy long hair just confirmed this.

"It should be several years since I took a bath?" eluli, who had not spoken much, couldn't help thinking in her heart, "it's terrible!"

As a servant who is responsible for taking care of her master's daily life, eluli is more or less a little bit of a little cleanliness mania. Seriously, including this shop and the owner of that shop, she really can't stand it.

"Muriel, did you fall again?"

Martin seems to have been used to this for a long time.

"Well, anyway, you look fine? Well... Take them both to old Tim's thrift store for me! There's Auror looking for me outside, but our primary school sister still needs an old magic wand that can make do with it."

Elementary school sister?

After hearing this, pansy immediately looked at the dirty witch carefully again - is this also a former graduate of Hogwarts?

As she was thinking about it, she saw that the untidy witch called "Muriel" by Martin rubbed her knees. Then she lifted her long split hair and looked at pansy and eluli.

"Well... Going to old Tim's? Yes, I can. Every time I go to old Tim's, I always think he's a little unhappy..."

Martin could only grin and shake his head.

"Can't you clean yourself up with the cleaning spell? Of course he won't show you face if you go through like this!"

But who knows, Muriel immediately wanted her head like a rattle, and finally said with good reason:

"There's no need... I've been dealing with corpses all day. I'll get dirty anyway."

After that, she ignored Martin and waved directly to pansy and them.

"Come on! Oh, you're still at Hogwarts? Let me guess. You must be from Slytherin college. Am I right? Martin likes to hang out with Slytherin - although he's a hutchpatch himself."

Looking at Muriel walking towards the door, she really left Martin behind. Martin, who had been put aside by her casually, was not angry, as if he had nothing to do.

When pansy saw this, he was quite surprised.

According to her impression of Martin, this is undoubtedly a man with a strong desire to control others, which can be seen from his performance at two gatherings.

But in the face of the witch named "Muriel", his tolerance was obviously much higher than usual.

"Is it that kind of relationship between two people?"

At the moment when pansy followed the dirty witch to the door, he couldn't help looking back quietly, but he saw Martin looking at Muriel's back with a complicated look in his eyes.

……

A moment later, Muriel took pansy and them to another shop in the distance.

Different from Muriel's cramped store, although it is only a second-hand store, its facade is at least twice as big as the former.

Standing at the door and looking inside, the decoration of the store is not like the gloomy feeling of overturning the lane. The bright candlelight dispels the darkness caused by the narrow alley itself. You can feel a trace of warmth just outside the door.

To tell the truth, if pansy didn't know it was a overturned lane, she might have thought it was an ordinary store in Diagon Lane!

"Good morning, old Tim!"

Muriel took the lead in entering the store and said hello to the old wizard sitting behind the counter.

But the old man seemed to have seen a ghost and immediately stopped looking too far. It was easy to see his disgust without saying.

"Hey, there's a guest, old Tim!"

After yelling at the other side again, Muriel turned her mouth and then pointed to a basket inside and said:

"Look, there's a magic wand! If you're not satisfied, you can go to the small display cabinet in the back - the ones in the cabinet are a little more expensive, but they are well made, mostly by famous masters like Mr. Ollivander."

However, after all, it is only a second-hand shop, and led by Muriel, an "acquaintance", it can't be more expensive than the original price of seven garonnes.

Pansy took yiluli to choose. Because of time constraints, they were not very demanding. After finding a magic wand that could be used, they took it to the counter to check out.

But just then, Muriel standing at the door suddenly ran over, lowered her voice and said:

"Martin said Auror was looking for him before. Does it have anything to do with you two?"

Pansy and eluli felt nervous when they heard the speech.

"What's the matter?"

"There's aurora outside. He's coming this way... Well, maybe he'll come in and have a look."

To ask whether Auror's search is related to the two of them, the answer is obviously yes. However, since their identities have not been exposed so far, they are not as exposed as Martin.

Of course, if you can't meet it, it's better not to meet it.

"It's too late to go out," pansy looked around, and then hurriedly asked the old wizard, "excuse me, is there a back door?"

"No."

Mostly because of his disgust with Muriel, the old man didn't want to talk to pansy. However, fortunately, the Wizards in the overturned Lane basically don't deal with Auror. If he doesn't have enough interests to drive him, he must not deliberately report.

Needless to say, even in the dark side of the magic world, there is a set of corresponding rules to follow.

After a little consideration, pansy quickly took out some more gold gallons from his pocket and put them on the counter. At the same time, she said in a low voice:

"Forget the question I just asked. I remember we are just ordinary customers... After Auror leaves, there will be another half."

The old wizard didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard the sound, but he took away the small pile of gold gallon without trace.

"Pansy, why don't you avoid it? Just use your invisibility cloak!" Emily whispered suddenly. "I don't have anything yet, but you shouldn't appear in the overturned lane, should you?"

It has to be said that this usually quite introverted goblin hybrid witch can always show a very good judgment at the critical moment.

Pansy couldn't help but think it was reasonable to hear her say so - although she didn't know whether she came from the previous Auror, she did reveal her identity after all, and especially mentioned the purchase of magic wands.

However, it doesn't make sense for a Hogwarts student to turn over the alley to buy a second-hand old wand.

Just in case, pansy decisively hid her body with a invisibility cloak according to Emily's words, and carefully hid in the corner next to her.

"Here they are!"
