Chapter 15: The Borgin Burke Store
"What kind of mission is the Sudden Mission?Growth??" Alan is really looking forward to it, and the rewards of the system are really good.
"Quest content: Lift the curse on the Lizard-Body and gain the gratitude of the Lizard-Body. Due to the increased difficulty of the task, the system can help shield the Trace (Trace: Added to wizards under the age of 17 to monitor the use of magic by underage wizards), and the host can use a wand. The system can also provide map navigation services, which is convenient for the host to find the lizard-body. There are 15 hours left until the mission deadline, so keep it up!"
As soon as the system spoke, a black map indicating the route appeared in Allen's mind, and the yellow icon represented Allen's location at the moment, and Alan kept moving up the map in his mind and found a red icon, which represented the lizard man that Allen was looking for. It's strange that this icon moves quickly across the map.
"Alan, don't be in a daze, hurry up, now we're going to Madame Morkin's shop. Mrs. Harris urged.
After leaving Ollivander, Mrs. Harris eagerly dragged Alan to Mrs. Morkin's shop. Lady Morkin was a short, stocky witch, dressed in purple, with a smile on her face: "Good morning, Mrs. Harris, may I ask how I can help you?"
"Let's make two school uniforms for my youngest son, Alan. Mrs. Harris pointed to Alan, who looked like he was out of the world and was actually studying the map.
"Are you buying a Hogwarts uniform, my dear?" Without waiting for Alan to speak, she continued, "We are the best choice for Hogwarts students to buy uniforms, and to be honest, the ones I make are cheap and beautiful. “
Eren didn't see anything beautiful in the uniform black and dull wizarding robes with different trims, after all, he already had the best wizarding robes in the world—wonderful wizarding robes that could be invisible, defensive, and shape-shifting.
Madame Morkin asked Alan to stand on a footstool, put on a black robe for him, and pinned his length to fit him.
After measuring the measurements, Madame Morkin took out a finished robe, brandished her wand and threaded the needle and thread, and the needle and scissors kept interspersing on the robe, modifying the width and length of the robe.
Mrs. Harris chose out wizarding costumes in different styles and colors in the women's section.
"Mom, I've made an appointment with Harry to buy something, can I go to him?" Of course, for real minors, it is understandable to report their whereabouts to their parents.
"That classmate of yours, Harry, is he also a little wizard?" Mrs. Harris didn't know who Harry was, and thought he was an ordinary classmate.
"It can't be Harry Potter, right? Count it, it's time for his grade to enter school!" Lady Mockin said with a smile, but she didn't think that what Eren wanted to meet was really the famous Harry Potter, and she didn't expect that she would soon have to tailor Harry Potter herself.
"Yes, he also received a letter of acceptance. ”
"Go ahead, remember to get back to the Leaky Cauldron before dark, where we'll go home after dinner. Mrs. Harris took out five gold Galleons and stuffed a handful of silver into Alan's bag. When you're away from home, you can't do it without money. This is true in any country and in every world.
Alan certainly didn't really go to Harry, after all, time was limited, and he still had too many secrets to share with Harry.
"Ding Dong, Tips: If you want to lift the curse on the Lizard, please go to Tumbledown Alley and find the magic ball of Lady Luck Fowles. ”
With the fall of the system sound, Allen's mind instantly appeared in the "Thai Embarrassment" Wang Baoqiang's red hat grinning expression, dubbing: Surprised, not surprised? This is a serial mission! Alan didn't have time to sigh too much, immediately got up, and walked along the map to Tumble Alley.
Before entering the alley, Alan turned on the invisibility function of the Wizard Robe in a secluded street. Tumbledown Alley is not a suitable place for underage wizards, it is full of dark wizards with different personalities, and all kinds of bizarre, terrifying and cruel dark magic items can be found here.
Carefully passing the old witch with an unknown potion bubbling and tumbling, past the stout wizard with a large scar on his face, and through the dark and narrow alleys, Alan followed the map to the front of a shop with dusty windows, a plaque as dark red as blood stains hung on the eaves, "Borgin Burke Store", several large black letters were twisted on the plaque, indicating that this was definitely not an ordinary shop.
Alan didn't dare to walk in easily, you know, even if it's a small shop now, there is an electronic synthesized sound "Welcome" when you walk in, not to mention that this is a store full of dark atmosphere that must not appear in the open! Alan waited quietly for a while, and his luck was good, and soon a tall thin male wizard with a skull mask appeared in the alley and walked towards the store.
Seconds later, Alan was glad he had made a prudent decision. Eren followed the masked wizard into the store, and as they entered, a bell rang inside.
The wizard quickly looked around the shop, walked straight to the counter, rang the bell, and a hunched man appeared behind the counter, his hand running back his shiny hair.
"Welcome. What can I do for you?" Mr. Borgin said in a tone as smooth as his hair.
"I have a cursed necklace here that has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles, would you be interested in taking a look?"
When Mr. Borgin heard this, he took out a pair of rust-colored leather gloves from under the counter and put them on his hand, took out two silver tweezers, picked up the ends of the necklace, and placed them on a tray covered with red velvet satin to observe them carefully. He then took off his gloves and muttered, "Now let me see your secret." He pulled a wand from the sleeve of his robe, pointed at the necklace, and said, "Hurry up." "Each opal in the necklace is glowing with silver fluorescence. Mr. Borgin seemed to have a judgment, and said to the masked man, "The necklace cursed by Eris does have a deadly effect, and I will have to do other tests on the specific power." Twenty gold gallons, is that okay?"
"No kidding, Bogin, I know the market, the poison attached to it is very high-grade, colorless and tasteless, and Muggle detection methods have no effect on it, two hundred Galleons. The masked man unceremoniously pointed out Mr. Borgin's price reduction and showed that he knew the market.
"You know, now these black magic items are being investigated and dealt with very strictly......
Alan had already seen that it was not the magic ball he was looking for, so he had no intention of listening to them bargain again. Instead, he looked around: it was a spacious, dimly lit shop, hideous masks peering down the walls, various human bones on the counters, rusty toothed instruments hanging from the ceiling. Alan looked at the counters one by one, and found two spherical objects, but none of the contents displayed on the label were the magic balls that Allen was looking for, and the Xueba Invincible System did not give a hint of successfully finding them.
At this time, Mr. Borgin's deal with the masked man was successful at a price of 160 gold gallons, the masked man rejected the other black magic items promoted by Mr. Borgin and left quickly, Mr. Borgin was in a good mood holding the tray with one hand and pushed open a hidden door on the right side of the lobby, the door was full of black holes, and Alan immediately followed.
