Volume 2 The Philosopher's Stone Chapter 16 The Wizard's Street
It is black and dirty!
This is Yang Haosong's impression of this bar.
He had decided not to consume any of the food or drinks offered here.
There's a lot of space inside, but there aren't many people. Most of them are old guys, wearing very uncreative retro robes and pointed hats, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are wizards.
Regarding the arrival of Yang Haosong and the four of them, the people in the room just glanced at it casually, and no one cared. Led by Zhao Xuan, they walked through the bar and came to a small patio.
Yang Haosong looked around, a little strange. Because this patio is surrounded by stone walls on three sides except for the entrance that comes from the bar at the back, and there is nothing but a garbage can and some weeds. Not only Yang Haosong, but Zhou Lingyu also had a strange face, and she didn't know why Zhao Wanyu brought them here.
Zhao Wanyu ignored their doubts, but counted the bricks on the side of the trash can, the wall, and the words in his mouth: "Three pieces up, and then two pieces in the horizontal mile, left or right...... This should be it, right?"
As she spoke, she stretched out a slender finger and lightly tapped it on a brick three times. The piece she had knocked on moved slightly, then began to move. A crack appeared in the middle, which then expanded. Eventually, an archway large enough to pass through an adult leads to a cobblestone-paved street with no end in sight.
"Here we are, what's it called? Diagon Alley or Diagonal Alley? Pretty much it!" Zhao said with a smile.
Even though Yang Haosong and Zhou Lingyu had already seen a lot of new things in the ability world, they couldn't help but feel strange. They passed through the archway, and Yang Haosong turned around, and saw that the opening in the wall had suddenly narrowed, and then it had returned to the original solid wall.
Stepping on the street, Yang Haosong and Zhou Lingyu saw everything fresh.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, although the names of the shops are all in English, Yang Haosong can't understand it, but looking at the things hanging in the windows, they are all some strange things. There are cauldrons, all kinds of animals, magic robes, and even brooms!
"This is the wizard's street?" but how are they all dressed ......?" asked Yang Haosong.
There are not many people on the streets, but most of them are not wearing robes, and the dress is similar to that of ordinary people, at most a little retro, but the British style itself is more retro. It's nowhere near as much like the wizarding world in the dark and dirty bar before. However, the shops on the side of the street prove beyond doubt that this is indeed not an ordinary business street.
"That's right!" Zhao Wanxuan nodded with a smile: "I heard from some seniors in the department, in the past few decades, in fact, people here were afraid that others would not know that I was a wizard, and they wore wizard robes all day long. However, because several new celebrities in the wizarding world don't like to wear robes, under the influence of the idol effect, the younger generation of wizards gradually began to stop wearing robes!"
"Awesome!" Yang Haosong suddenly sounded at the end of the last century, because of a movie, in the port city and even in the inland, everyone was wearing a black trench coat and holding a toothpick.
"Let's go, although we don't have any currency here, it's okay to wander around! There are a lot of interesting things! If you're really interested, we can barter!" Zhao Wanyu pointed to the street.
Even if you can't buy anything, shopping itself is very attractive to girls, especially this kind of stranger who has never been seen before, or the street of wizards! Although the ghost market also has a street, but in the environment of the ghost market, even Zhou Lingyu doesn't have the heart to go shopping.
When I was in that bar before, the people there were generally old, and no one paid attention to Yang Haosong and his party. However, after arriving on this street, the four Orientals walked together, and there were still some dazzling eyes. After a while, a few little young wizards came over to talk.
Zhao Wanyu and Zhou Lingyu's English proficiency is okay, and there is no problem in simply chatting a few words. It's just that I pity Yang Haosong, I almost can't understand a word.
It's not just Yang Haosong who doesn't understand. I don't know how many years I've had, but I obviously haven't been to the West. So he didn't understand English either, but he didn't seem to care, but leaned out of a shop window looking at the contents with interest.
It was an animal store, and the windows were full of mice, owls, bats, toads, and so on. It's not really good-looking, and I don't know why I'm so interested in it.
"What's so nice about this thing?" asked Yang Haosong with a little curiosity.
"You use your abilities to see!" said with a grin.
Yang Haosong was a little puzzled, and immediately mobilized the Qi in his body to observe the animals in the window. At a glance, Yang Haosong was also a little surprised. Because almost all of the animals in the window have Qi that far exceeds that of ordinary animals! That is to say, these animals can be regarded as spirit animals to some extent! They are just very weak.
"It's all a skewer of some spiritual creatures!" said with interest, "It's very strange. On our side, the people who raise spirit beasts either strive to maintain the purity of the spirit beast bloodline, or create new, more powerful spirit beasts through the mixing of spirit beasts and spirit beasts. However, these were obviously the result of the hybridization of spirit beasts and ordinary creatures, and even the results of hybridization for several generations! They seemed to be deliberately weakening the bloodline of spirit beasts. ”
"This is because the wizarding world is not very good at controlling magical creatures, that is, spirit beasts!" a gentle voice came.
Yang Haosong and Xu Xunsheng looked sideways, and a middle-aged beautiful woman stood beside them at some point. She has obvious Asian features, black hair and black eyes, and looks at the two with a smile on her face at this time. What she just said was what she said, very authentic Chinese.
"Hello," Seeing Yang Haosong and Xu looking over, the beautiful woman smiled elegantly: "I'm presumptuous, it's just that I haven't heard anyone say Chinese here for too long." I've almost forgotten what to say!"
"Oh, your Chinese is very good!" Yang Haosong nodded with a polite smile: "It's rare to meet overseas Chinese who can speak Chinese in a foreign country! I'm Yang, from the Republic, the first time I came here, everything is fresh, let you see jokes!"
"Where!" the beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, "It's like this for the first time." My surname is Zhang, but you can call me Mrs. Weasley, that's my husband's form!Is this your child?" She glanced at Xu, a little puzzled, "At this age, you shouldn't be going to Hogwarts, right?"
"Ah, no, we're here to travel!" Yang Haosong explained with a smile.
"I'll just say, I'm a little too young!" the beautiful woman, Mrs. Weasley Chang smiled and nodded, "It's a shame, Hogwarts has not had Chinese students for many years!"
"With all due respect, what ...... are you talking about Hogwarts," Yang Haosong asked with some embarrassment.
"Look at me," Mrs. Weasley Chang shook her head with a smile, "It's the National School of Magic in the Kingdom of Yingge, the best magic school in Europe!"
Speaking of which, Mrs. Weasley Chang had a proud look on her face, and she seemed to be very proud of her house.
Yang Haosong also remembered what Zhao Xuanxuan seemed to say before, the magic academy here in the Yingge Kingdom. I vaguely remember that the son of Deputy Director Li Qingqiu, Li Sizheng and Li Dashao seem to have come to Yingge's magic academy for further study, and I think it is this Hogwarts. I remember who I heard that Li Sizheng originally said that he would go back for the Spring Festival, but when Yang Haosong returned to the Sky Survey Division after the holiday, he learned that his further study seemed to have been postponed.
At this time, Zhao Wanyu and Zhou Lingyu also got rid of a few young people who were talking to them, walked over, and were slightly stunned when they saw Mrs. Weasley Zhang.
"What a beautiful sister, but it's a pity that the children in our family are too young!" Mrs. Weasley Chang's eyes lit up when she saw the two: "Otherwise, you must let them pursue you." ”
Of course, girls don't dislike others saying that they are beautiful, especially since the person who said this is also a beauty!
Mrs. Weasley Chang is gentle and elegant, and she is very talkative. soon had a good conversation with Zhao Wanyu and Zhou Lingyu, and at the same time, he did not snub Yang Haosong. Of course, as a little kid, it's inevitable that at least someone who looks like a little kid will be left out in the cold.
"It's rare to have friends from my homeland, please let me enter the friendship of landlords!" The group chatted with Mrs. Weasley Chang more and more speculatively, and soon, Mrs. Weasley Chang sent out an invitation to invite the four of them to her home.
"Isn't this inconvenient?" Zhao Wanxuan asked with some embarrassment.
"Not at all!" said Mrs. Weasley Chang with a smile, "My husband, and my husband's brother, both parents are very hospitable, and they will be very happy to see friends from the East. Of course, Yang may not be natural, because although they learned some Chinese with me, they are not very fluent!"
"In this way, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Zhao Wanxuan said with a smile.
"That's how it should be!" Mrs. Weasley Zhang nodded happily, and clapped her hands as if she remembered something: "We chatted so happily that I almost forgot! You wait for me a little!"
"We have two children who are going to Hogwarts this year, and although the notice has not yet arrived, the house has already said hello. So I'm here today with my husband, brother's wife, to buy things for the kids! They're customizing robes, you know, although young people wear wizard robes a little bit less these days. However, in order to avoid the students from competing, the college still has to dress uniformly, and the parents think that this is better! I will first come over and prepare pets for them to bring to the college, and the children in the family are very fond of dogs! I think these two little guys, the children will like it very much!"
Yang Haosong and the others looked at the two cute little milk dogs in the cage and nodded in agreement. Yang Haosong also glanced at Wu with interest, and found that Xu looked at the puppy, and his eyes were exceptionally bright......
