138 Changes among wizards
For Muggles, wizards and wizards lived in very different worlds, although they were on the same ground as them.
A small Muggle expulsion spell could create a land for wizards to belong to them without paying a single nat of taxes—that's before, of course.
As Muggles explored the world more and more, wizards began to carve out large tracts of land as before, and for various reasons, they began to plan wizarding villages and build large neighborhoods that were unimaginable before.
As wizards began to get used to Muggle cities and occupy certain areas of them, many of their old habits were broken - most notably the old bazaars.
Although school education has firmly suppressed the traditional family wizarding lineage, the noble purebloods were still quite disdainful of the school back then—and even some dilapidated families had to hide their family badges when they had to send their children to Hogwarts and other schools to prevent their families from being humiliated.
Of course, this was a different story - although the Slytherins still had words like mudblood in their mouths from time to time, they had to come to terms with the fact that Muggle-born wizards enjoyed the same education and breathed the same air in the school.
What's even worse is that they will be overwhelmingly crushed by the mudbloods they despise in their studies, and if it weren't for the family's inherited spells and knowledge to make up for it, I'm afraid they would all be suppressed to death after graduation.
There is no way, the advantages of the academy are too great, not to mention the number of wizards who are familiar with other wizards who have crushed the traditional education, except for a small number of regions that are still insisting on it, the traditional wizard education in other regions has been piled up into the dust of history like the traditional bazaar system.
What is the bazaar system?
Actually, to put it bluntly, this thing is not much different from the Muggle bazaar - wizards are a bit more homely, but they always need materials for research, and most of the materials cannot be collected in person. In the absence of shops at the time, wizards would trade on an agreed piece of land every weekend, and both the object and the object of the trade were often varied.
Although Ollivander's shop in Diagon Alley is visited by many foreign wizards, it was also a stall back in the day - but, unlike others, the most famous magic shop in Britain was already open for reservations, and you could provide your own rod core, or you could choose from the recommended items - and then when it was time for the next market, the owner would come with a wand and hand it to you.
It wasn't until Ollivanders took over his ancestral business that the wands really became formal - Ollivanders gambled most of the family fortune and no longer provided customization functions, but instead let customers choose from the wands of the finished product - these finished wands were carefully selected with a combination of wand core and wood, each with its own uniqueness, and then waited for the moment to meet the destined owner after making it.
This astonishing move and responsible attitude towards wands made Ollivanders the finest master of all—and before him, wands were nothing short of nonsense.
Don't think wands are tall - Ollivanders' shop has even made wands for customers in the past that use the whiskers of his pet cat's whiskers as wands, which is a very fucked up thing.
The wand business of the Ollivanders family is quite good, because the existence of wizarding law can only be owned by wizards, but the other stalls are all showing their magic - no one knows who is the person who takes out all kinds of trade objects after covering his head.
You don't know if you're holding something you're holding at the moment was stolen, stolen, or made by someone else, or if you're trading with a White Wizard, a Dark Wizard, a Squib, a disguised goblin, or a magical creature that uses Transfiguration - it's not uncommon for the Ministry of Magic to be in charge anyway.
It stands to reason that if it were a Muggle world, such a place would gradually prosper in the process of trading and trading, and then eventually form a small town or something, but the order between wizards and Muggles is obviously different.
The most important thing is that wizards need Muggle supplies and people.
Not to mention the fact that some Muggle herbs can also be used for potions, and not to talk about the evil experiments of the dark wizards, the need for fresh blood and Muggle food wizards also need these two things.
After the Muggles established the town, the place where wizards traded was naturally changed - Diagon Alley was built alongside the City of London.
Due to the convenience of Floo Powder, Apparition Shifter, etc., it is still fairly easy for wizards to go shopping - it is quite normal to go to Diagon Alley once and buy a grocery item. In the beginning, there were wizards who still liked the market, but the rise of Diagon Alley could not be stopped, and it easily replaced the original trading market.
The reason is fairly simple - the existence of Muggle-born wizards.
Purebloods hated dealing with Muggles, but Muggle-born wizards were not—especially if they couldn't find a job when they graduated due to the intense discrimination of the time. Under these circumstances, it was quite normal for them to resell Muggle supplies in order not to go hungry, and it was only natural that they would choose to be in a Muggle-gathering city for the sake of convenience.
It's as simple as that, wizards had to move their own purchases in order to buy food or something, and found it quite convenient to buy things in the Muggle wizards' shops here that Muggle wizards had learned how to buy - vegetables that had been stored for fifteen days were not as fresh as those of the day.
From humble beginnings, this street built in London was uncontrollable, crushing all the markets, and eventually became the first place for wizards to shop.
And this change is the same in the wizarding world all over the world - the traditional bazaar is gradually replaced, and eventually it becomes a place where no one comes.
However, due to a series of spells such as Muggle banishment day after day, year after year, these places eventually became lands where wizards could not come and Muggles could not live, and eventually only a barren land remained.
In order to avoid the Ministry of Magic's taxes, these large and small fairs were scattered all over the place - anyway, the Ministry of Magic could just run away. As for being caught, it is enough to hand over a sum of money.
And Allen, at this moment, they are heading to such an abandoned market, a land full of barren grass in the deep mountains.
