Chapter 16: Snatching the Magic Orb
Entering the door, Alan was surprised to find that it was not a room, but a spiral staircase. The murals hanging on the walls on either side of the corridor made all sorts of sounds, probably like moans of pain, howls of terror, like torture in hell, and the shrill sound of fingernails scratching the blackboard. The blending of sounds, combined with the dim, green lighting, is truly terrifying.
Alan took as little pace as he could, and followed Mr. Borgin up the squeaky old wooden staircase, where he saw a heavy vermilion wooden door. Hunched over Mr. Borgin pushed the door open, and before Alan could take a closer look, he heard a click, and everything was bright and everything was clearly visible.
The white miserable light coldly spread all over the room, it was a storage room, and the room did not have a single window. Directly in the direction of the door, Alan saw all kinds of strange biological specimens, dried corpses, and bottles and jars of formalin of animal and plant organs.
The left wall is filled with storage compartments that reach up to the ceiling. In the right corner, some large bronze chests are stacked neatly. Next to the chest was a long silver table, on which was a withered human hand, a stack of bloodstained cards, and a dull glass eyeball on a cushion in a glass case. There were also potions and glassware of various colors on the table, which were placed on a wrought iron shelf. His gaze swept over the corner of the table, and Allen's heart skipped a beat, and a milky ball and a bunch of prophecy balls were randomly placed on a wooden shelf. The invincible academic system sounded in his head, and Alan knew that the unremarkable round ball was the magic ball of the goddess of luck Fowles that he was looking for on this trip.
Mr. Borgin turned on the light, sat down at the long table, placed the tray gently on the table, opened the drawer, took out the glove belt, and selected a bottle of purple potion on the shelf, as if to study the power of the necklace carefully.
Alan's brain is running like crazy, how can he get the magic orb? disguise himself as a guest and buy it, and take it secretly while he is not ready, or be more secure and steal it when Mr. Borgin finishes researching?
Just as Alan was desperate for fate to turn these thoughts, the worst happened, the Miaomiao wizard robe could only be invisible for half an hour at a time, three times a day. Now, half an hour has arrived!Alan's figure suddenly appeared unabashedly in the storage room, and Mr. Borgin immediately noticed something unusual, he drew his wand and turned to point at Alan's gap, and Eren only had time to conjure a mask to cover his face.
"Faint, faint", Mr. Borgin's quick spell was dodged by Alan with his neat skill. The spell struck the shelf behind Allen, the bottles and cans shattered, the liquid splattered everywhere, and a skull gurgled and rolled to the ground, its mouth wide open and closed.
Alan lunged at Mr. Borgin with lightning speed, and Mr. Borgin was so startled that he crawled to the ground. Alan didn't want to hurt anyone, and his target was not Mr. Borgin, but the magic ball on the table. I saw Alan grab the magic ball on the shelf and quickly rush to the door.
Mr. Borgin stretched out his wand and fired a spell desperately in the rear: "Obstacles, obstacles, faint, faint." "In the narrow revolving corridor, Alan is as nimble as a monkey, jumping up and down to avoid the attacks of the spell. People have misses, horses have stumbled. Alan didn't notice the vines suddenly bursting out of the handrail of the stairs, and even if he jumped in time to avoid the entanglement of the vines, he was hit by the stun spell from behind.
When Mr. Borgin saw this, he was first ecstatic, and then he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Allen, who was unharmed, and then he didn't know what to do. Allen's wonderful wizard robe is really the best wizard robe in the world, and it has the effect of defending against the rebound spell, so that the stun spell that Mr. Borgin struck has no effect on Allen, not to mention, it also bounces back and stuns Mr. Borgin himself.
"I forgot about this, otherwise the battle would have been settled long ago. Seek advantage and avoid harm, human instinct!" Alan smiled, activated his stealth skill again, and left the store.
Quickly leaving Tumbledown Alley, the dazzling sunlight shone on Allen, warm. Alan happily basked in the sun, leaving behind the gloomy Diagon Alley and walking away.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the magic orb of Lady Luck Fowles, which can lift all curses. There are 13 hours and 43 minutes left until the end of the mission. ”
Pressed for time, Alan checked the map in his mind and was surprised to find that the Lizardman was located in the Muggle world, and in the heart of London, at Baker Street Station.
Alan immediately took a taxi to the nearest tube station and then to Baker Street station. Here, there is a poster-sized brass nameplate that reads: "This platform was part of the world's first subway in 1863 and is hereby certified." "Normally, London Tube platforms are flanked by advertisements, but Baker Street Station is different in that there is room for posters above each platform seat. These posters vividly depict the platform when it first opened in 1863 and are a museum of the history of the London Underground. However, Alan didn't have time to look at the posters, as he noticed that the icon that had just shown the lizard man here had quickly moved to other places.
Alan was a little overwhelmed, did he have to keep chasing its tracks? In a hurry, Alan saw the tube map he had just picked up (in London, at every tube station, passengers can pick up a small tube map that is a little longer than a B5 paper for free). Comparing the trajectory of the lizard-body man in his mind, Alan was surprised to find that the movement trajectory of the lizard-body man coincided with the subway route seamlessly!
