v7 Chapter 39： Stick in hand, follow me, kill goblins, grab Galleon!

August is coming to an end, and at the tail end of this summer vacation, another large-scale war broke out in Britain.

The focus of the battlefield, beyond everyone's expectations, actually happened in... Diagon Alley.

Yes, it is indeed Diagon Alley.

One evening, the Death Eaters suddenly appeared here and carried out a round of beating, smashing, looting and burning on the major shops.

The only thing that hasn't been destroyed is Gringotts.

The goblins were still swaying left and right, and they were extremely neutral. The Death Eaters didn't dare to shout:

"With the stick in hand, follow me, kill the goblin, and rob Gallen."

But the impact of this attack was particularly bad.

As one of the three major commercial streets in Europe, Diagon Alley is the financial center of the British magic circle.

The importance is self-evident.

Therefore, such a seemingly unremarkable war action, because of the particularity of the chosen location, officially announced the comprehensiveness and deepening of the Second Wizarding War.

So far, the early raid-style battle has finally ended, and a full-scale war has begun.

And those ordinary wizards who thought they could stay out of it, also experienced the cruelty of war.

The most intuitive impact is the mass closure of stores.

In addition, the Suez Canal has not yet been repaired, and British prices have also risen sharply.

But the wages are still those, which simply can't keep up with the prices.

And because of the war, many shops closed, causing unemployment to soar.

The magical society is completely in a vicious circle.

The black market is more and more prosperous.

Voldemort's subordinates are basically pure blood wizards.

Many families have a lot of resources that they can put into the black market.

This wave is good for them.

Everyone thought that the strategic intention of the Death Eaters was to disrupt the people's livelihood system dominated by the Ministry of Magic.

But few people noticed... At the same time that Diagon Alley was attacked, two wizards were also missing.

One person is naturally the famous master of the staff - Ollivander.

But his disappearance was identified by more wizards as fearing Death Eaters, and he fled Diagon Alley.

Because there were no signs of fighting in the store, and a sign for rest was hung on the door.

The second is Florin Fusco, the owner of an ice cream shop in Diagon Alley.

There are many wizards who have witnessed this incident.

At that time, Fusco resisted fiercely, but he was captured by the Death Eaters before the Aurors arrived.

Even the wizard who sold ice cream was taken away.

For a time, everyone is in danger!

……

……

Diagon Alley,

Inside the Akali Mystery Shop.

After learning of the attack, William rushed to his store as soon as possible.

There are losses, but they are not serious. Especially the twins and Cedric only organized a wave of counterattacks.

After William finished the inspection, he was also very surprised to hear the report from Cedric and the twins.

"Mr. Ollivander must have been caught." Cedric said with certainty.

"I was recently renovating the storefront, and Mr. Ollivander gave me guidance for a period of time. He also said that he was going to work for another ten years before retiring."

Good guy... In ten years, Cedric's wand shop will probably go bankrupt long ago.

But Cedric didn't care about it, he insisted:

"I also went to Mr. Ollivander's house, and there was no one at all. He was definitely taken away by the Death Eaters."

Cedric was an apprentice in Ollivander's shop for seven years and had a close relationship with the old man.

His words can naturally be used as evidence to prove that Ollivander's disappearance... is an abnormal disappearance.

George whispered:

"Maybe, the Death Eaters took Ollivander away to stop him from continuing to make wands."

The magic wand is equivalent to the arms of the magic world, and Ollivander is the largest arms supplier.

Taking him away can indeed effectively cut off the source of "arms" in the magic world.

but……

The Death Eaters captured Ollivander. William could understand why they captured the ice cream shop owner?

William rubbed his eyebrows, he couldn't tear his sister apart.

What was Voldemort trying to do...he couldn't catch Florin Fusco, was he to make ice cream for him?

However, this Death Eater attack was not entirely without merit.

William finally had the opportunity to do a bargain hunt on the surrounding shops.

The shops in Diagon Alley have always been very expensive.

In peacetime, no matter how much you pay, you can't buy it, you can only rent it at a high price.

Now it is possible to enter the market at a super low price.

the reason is simple:

The last time the Wizarding War lasted for ten years, at that time many shops could not support it, and finally had to close their doors.

This war is raging, and after the last experience, many people want to cash out and run away.

Not to mention, with the outbreak of the attack, everyone found that opening a store in Diagon Alley was still life-threatening.

Fred took the document and said:

"Recently, we have acquired four stores. I heard that we want to buy stores, and Tom is also contacting us."

"Does Tom want to sell Leaky Cauldron?" William asked in surprise.

When he first came to Diagon Alley, he coveted the Leaky Cauldron and wanted to turn it into the Leaky Cauldron.

"It's not." George shook his head. "Tom has seven or eight stores and is eager to change hands."

Alright... Tom, who is an ordinary man, runs a small bar all day... I didn't expect that he would be sitting on so many properties behind his back.

The clown is actually me!

"Negotiate with Tom, but don't buy it right away." William thought about it and said:

"The war is going on for a long time, and we have time to drive down prices."

Although William is not short of money, he is definitely not willing to take advantage of it.

At this moment, Qiu stuck out his head, stared at the four of them, and complained:

"You guys have been chatting for an hour in the back, hurry up and come to the front desk, there are a lot of people!

And Cedric, someone bought a wand!

It's an old aunt! Calling for you! "

Cedric agreed and hurried out.

After Ollivander disappeared, the one who benefited the most was Cedric, who had just opened a wand shop.

As long as Ollivander is around, he must have a monopoly on most of the British market.

Now that Ollivander is missing, everyone has to buy a wand, and the market share is vacant.

Many people are even afraid that they will not be able to buy them in the future, and want to buy more than one at a time.

Cedric's Wand Shop opened just in time.

If he didn't know Cedric, William would doubt whether he kidnapped Ollivander.

Seeing Cedric walking out, William and the twins followed to see what kind of "old aunt" was.

Saying it's an old aunt is actually not accurate.

She was just a witch in her forties. As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked Cedric to go to her house to get a wand.

This is where to match a magic wand and experience the touch of a "magic wand", it's almost the same.

Qiu pointed indifferently to the wall, and there was an announcement on it:

No door-to-door service is provided!

The old aunt was a little disappointed, and then accidentally caught a glimpse of William who pushed out the door, her eyes lit up, and she obviously recognized who he was.

Then, pretending not to know each other, he asked William to take her to the changing room to measure her.

The kind that is measured with bare hands... It is said that the old aunt said that the size of the wand produced by this ancient method is more ergonomic.

William is also impressed... It's obviously an "arms" business, why is it so "upper-class".
