The next day, the sun hit Schelling’s ass, and Schelling got up lazily—this is a very rare thing for Schelling, who has always been diligent to get up early. Even Lucius and Narcissa in the living room couldn’t help but whisper. Muttered, guessing what Schelling had experienced the day before.
Xie Lin touched his lips, remembering the touching feeling of passionate kisses before leaving last night, and the smile on his lips couldn't stop.
Counting the days, the summer vacation will soon be over, and it is less than a week since the start of school.
When going downstairs for breakfast, Lucius spoke first: "Schelling, we have an important dinner with the Parkinsons and the Bock family at noon today. Draco and Pansy will also be there. I will see you. I seem to be tired this morning and didn't reserve your seat. I think you should take a good rest at home!"
Schelling thought for a while and said, "Okay, father. Later I may go to Diagon Alley to purchase the items needed for the start of school, and I will also buy Draco's share. It's just that. ...I want to know how these two families currently feel about the Malfoy family? Father, are you sure to hold them down?"
As Schelling's strength gradually became stronger, and it was heard that he had begun to establish contacts in the Ministry of Magic without a word, Lucius also began to be willing to explain some of the family affairs to the two brothers.
Lucius said: "Well, it should be fine at the moment. The old fox in Bok has always been a horror. He runs faster than anyone when he sees the wrong situation. As long as Lucius can have an influence on the Ministry of Magic, he may be a little shaken. , But by no means abandon the covenant between the two families. Parkinson will not, let alone the closer relationship between the interests of our two families—" At this point, Lucius’s cold face was also Can't help but smile.
"I heard that Pansy's little Nizi likes our Draco very much!" Schelling nodded quickly to testify. Draco showed a rare shy expression, even his face flushed.
Schelling always knew that Lucius and Professor Snape had a very close relationship. Both were Death Eaters. Lucius obviously knew the status of a potion master and Hogwarts Dean. How important. So Lucius was able to know the behavior of the two brothers at school, and Schelling was not surprised at all.
"Then I understand, father. If there is a need for my help, please don't forget to tell Schelling."
Narcissa is obviously more concerned about another matter than the family affairs. She was immediately unhappy when she heard the gossip between Draco and Pansy. Why was she the last one to know? She looked at the father and son menacingly, "These families are set aside in advance, why I didn't know about Draco and Pansy in advance?"
Seeing the war is about to start, Xie Lin lowered his head and pretended that he was busy eating breakfast in order to avoid burning his body.
Seeing that Lucius and Draco were unable to answer, Narcissa turned the gunfire at Schelling, "So, Schelling, what about you? Is there anything to actually recruit mother? Is there anything at school? Which girl do you have a good relationship with?"
Schelling first gave Draco a vague warning look, then made a "10 gallons" gesture under the table, and finally shook his head pretending to be innocent: "How can it? Mom, look at me. I should know that I have been studying hard most of the time. Puppy love delays my studies, it is undesirable, undesirable..."
Draco saw that it was profitable to shut up and secrecy, so naturally he was loyal to testify for Schelling. Although Draco is not short of money, he is very refreshed to be able to squeeze his brother's wool!
Lucius naturally knew that the girls of Schelling and Greengrass, as well as the girls of the Shafik family, were inseparable in the school. He himself was happy to see what happened to Schelling and the two girls. Attitude-Both girls are born in the Holy 28 pure-blood family, both in appearance, knowledge, and family background are very good, and they are worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Malfoy family. Moreover, the Malfoy family has also believed that Ding is too thin for generations. He and his father Abraxas Malfoy have encountered two wizarding wars, so there is no way. Now in the peaceful era, it is time to let the descendants open their branches. The leaves are scattered.
Since Schelling didn't want to make public, and his own son was such an independent person, Lucius wouldn't be so uninterested in shaking out his son's secret, so this incident was just revealed.
After his parents and Draco left, Schelling also rushed to Diagon Alley-he had made an appointment with his family. After the meal was over, they would also go to Diagon Alley and pick up Xie Lin in a night horse carriage. Come back home.
Xie Lin was alone, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, scattered it in the fireplace, shouted "Broken Cauldron Bar", and came to Diagon Alley.
Xie Lin did not rush into Diagon Alley, but instead cast a simple transformation spell on himself in an unattended corner to increase his height. With Xie Lin's thoughts, the Supreme Wizard's robe became a set of looks. After checking the mysterious black cloak to make sure there were no flaws, Xie Lin turned into Knockover Alley at the intersection in front of Gringotts.
This is the second time Schelling has come to Knockturn Alley. Last time, because he was with Lucius and Draco, he didn't have the opportunity to explore everywhere. This time it happened to be insightful. Xie Lin wrapped his robe tightly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked aimlessly in Knock Down Alley. Along the way, many strangely shaped people passed by him. Most of them are hidden in the cloak, unable to see their faces.
Schelling glanced at the biggest shop in Knock Down Alley-Bojinbok Magic Shop, thought for a moment, and walked in. When I pushed the door and entered, the wind chime on the door rang. A man bent over and appeared in front of the counter. He was repeatedly combing the greasy hair hanging on his face with his hands. He glanced at Xie Lin who came in, showing a sullen smile, and said, "Buy or deal?" Bojin Bok Magic Store can also be used as a pawnshop. The owner, Mr. Bojin, likes those strange and unpredictable uses. Black magic items.
"Let me take a look first." Xie Lin said with a voice changing spell to change his voice. After Mr. Bokin heard this, his face suddenly lost interest, and he sat back at the counter and wiped the surface of the glass box.
Xie Lin glanced at it. Inside the glass box, there was a shriveled hand placed on the mat. This thing is called the hand of glory. After putting the candle, the candlelight only illuminates the holder. It is a good helper for thieves and robbers. . Xie Lin shook his head and kept watching. On the counter are all kinds of human bones, a poker card stained with blood, and a glass eyeball that always stares at people. There are scary masks on the walls, and strings of rusty, long, sharp instruments hang from the ceiling.
"That is a mask of pain. It has a deterrent and intimidating effect, and it is a kind of weak soul magic." Yu Guang glanced at Schelling's Mr. Bojin, and saw that he was obviously interested in the mask on the wall, and started to explain.
"Give me a mask. How much?" The soul magic mentioned by Mr. Borgin aroused Schelling's interest. He pointed to one of the ghost faces and said.
"29 Garon, guest." Mr. Borkin said, looking at the wall. Schelling didn't make a counteroffer, and happily counted 29 Gallons and put them on the counter.
Seeing the guests so refreshed, Mr. Bojin's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, but his mouth was filled with a sincere smile and said: "Dear guest, there is also a family heirloom in this store. Guests may be interested. Take a look?"
Seeing Schelling nodded, Mr. Bokin took out a long box, and after opening it, it was a beautiful opal necklace for the day. He did not touch the necklace, just pointed to it and said, "This is the magic necklace passed down from the ancestors of my Bojin family. There are magical magic on the necklace, which can speed up the growth of magic. You also know that everyone’s magic can only follow As we age slowly, with this necklace, we can speed up this speed..."
This merchandise is really dirty. No wonder it is the best store to open a store here. Xie Lin burst into anger, and said with a smile but a smile: "You put on me and have a look, Mr. Borgin?"
Seeing the cold light in Xie Lin's eyes and the obvious chill in his voice, Mr. Bojin's mind flashed in a blink of an eye, and he decided not to offend this unknown guest again, and bowed his necklace away. "I'm sorry, honorable guest, maybe I made a mistake." He walked into a small room, and when he came out, holding an ancient cloak in his hand, "To express our apology, you can check out our The treasure of the town shop, although this cloak is not a family heirloom, it is also extremely valuable. It can block a high-strength spell for you at a critical moment, and only a life-threatening spell can break through its defense."
Mr. Bokin’s expression is sincere, this time he sincerely wants to make a deal. But Schelling already had a high-defense night star, and this cloak seemed a bit redundant, so he politely declined it. After seeing the treasure of the town shop, Xie Lin also lost interest in continuing to shop, so he walked out of the shop without looking back.
Pain Mask obtained!
Going a few steps deeper into Knock Down Alley, a small shop called "Giant Spider" is opening its door. It seems that there are many strange creatures locked in cages. Xie Lin thought that he might be able to find himself here. The phantom sniffing grass he needed walked in.
"Welcome, honorable guest." In the innermost part of the shop, a **** (Hag) wearing a wide-brimmed peaked hat whispered in a gloomy and hoarse voice, "Please take a look."
(Note: The **** has multiple translations in different volumes and chapters of the original People’s Society version: witch, old witch, banshee, old witch, dominatrix, very unprofessional, this book is unified translation as **** )
Schelling glanced at the dominatrix, then looked at the creatures in the cages on both sides one by one. This is worthy of Knock Down Alley, and Schelling saw many rare and dangerous creatures here, such as snakes, long-horned water snakes, fire grey snakes, Motra Rats and so on. After Xie Lin sighed in his heart, he seemed to ask casually, "Is there any phantom sniffing grass sold here?"
The **** stared at Xie Lin tightly, her eyes full of chills, "I'm afraid the guest is joking. The phantom sniffing grass is a Class A prohibited trade item. No one dares to trade it publicly even in Knockoff Alley. How can I have it here? This kind of thing?"
Xie Lin sneered, "I'm not kidding, I just believe that in this world, as long as there is enough interest , there is nothing that cannot be traded." After that, he turned around and left.
Mo Yasha said with an inaudible bass, "If the customer really wants it, he can find someone. He is my supplier. He has many ways to help you..."
Xie Lin took out two Jin Jialong and patted it on the counter, and said in a cold voice, "Give me his name and contact information."
The **** calmly put Jin Jialong into the drawer, and then slowly took out a note with the name "Nicholas" written on it, and another one located in a certain location in the Black Forest, Germany. Coordinates, "Guest, he is a professional smuggler. His name has been released with multiple sophisticated shielding spells. The owl can't find him. You must bother you to go there."
"Black Forest?" Xie Lin muttered to himself. It seems that this task requires Dobby to take a trip with him in Apparition, and to deal with these characters living in the shadows, Xie Lin really can't believe much. Poor IQ than that. After finding the clues to the phantom sniffing grass he needed, Xie Lin checked the time and was too lazy to continue wandering in Knockover Alley. He recalled Dobby-a few days ago, Dobby had repaired the secret passage on the fifth floor, and Xie Lin just gave it to He has a new mission, let him go to the Black Forest to find the location of Nicholas, after finding the location, he will come back and bring himself Apparition.
I thought that I was going to Apparate all the way from England to Germany in the future. The way of traveling around the world made Schelling a little bit afraid. It seems that it is time to develop an anti-stun bracelet that can overcome all kinds of magical stuns.
(Note: Magic Shift includes Floo powder, Apparition, Door key)
Xie Lin changed back to his usual outfit and returned to Diagon Alley, remembering his experience in Knock Down Alley, as if experiencing two completely different worlds.
