Chapter 69: The Bazaar
Emerging from the fireplace in Boulogne, Canaan's group came to a very empty lawn, and in the distance stood a huge circular stadium. At this time, the sun was still in the southwest, and the magnificent stadium was completely obscuring the sun, leaving Canaan and them completely in shadow.
Tents were erected around the stadium, and many people walked back and forth in front of them, shouting and cheering could be heard in the distance. It seems that what happened in Boulogne did not affect this at all.
Lincoln looked at the gymnasium in the distance in shock and muttered, "It is estimated that there can be more than a dozen cathedrals here!"
"There can be more than 100,000 wizards here. Newt saw the look of surprise on Lincoln's face and said, "The French Ministry of Magic spends a lot of manpower and material resources every year to repair this gymnasium, and the Muggle Expulsion Charm is applied here. ”
"Let's start with the market, which sells a lot of interesting things every year, and the Quidditch tournament doesn't start until the evening. Newt explained, and then took the lead.
Newt seemed to have played a number of Quidditch tournaments, and he was familiar with everything here.
Almost every tent here has an infinite extension charm cast on it, and the space inside is like a small shop, and many wizards sell the goods outside the tent to attract people to their tents.
"At the beginning of the game, it was actually difficult for us to see the Quaffle and Bludger on the field, let alone the Mystery Snitch. Newt led them into a tent, "We'd better have a panoramic telescope at this time, it shouldn't be too expensive, I remember last year it was 2 gold gallons." ”
"Sir, this year's market is not good, and the panoramic telescope is 2 silver sike more expensive than last year. A wizard dressed as an attendant, hearing Newt's voice, stepped forward and spoke.
"Oh well, it's time for the price to go up, bring me three. Newt shook his head and pulled out a handful of gold galleons from his pocket, laughing and explaining to Canaan and them, "I kept one last year, and I think it should still work." ”
"What is this?" Rove said, pointing to a player model in front of him.
An exquisitely crafted model of Iron Man, gold and red handover, is exactly the model of the Mark VII!
"This is a model of Iron Man made by Master Guvett, and you can put it in the air without falling off. This is the most powerful Muggle in the Marvel books!" The waiter said, placing the model in the air, only to see the model floating in the air, motionless.
"What's the use of that?" said Newt, completely unaware of how anyone could buy such a toy.
Canaan took the model in his hand and said with a smile, "I should have asked Guvet for some royalties." He thought that Guvet had now been captured by the Death Eaters, and it was probably not easy.
"This model is really good, how much is it, I want it. Lincoln pulled out a lot of gold Galleons from his pocket, which Canaan had given him before he left in the morning.
"Sir, 10 gold gallons. The waiter bowed and replied with a look of delight. This thing is too expensive, and although it will be liked by many children, it is not easy to sell.
Canaan had a black line on his face, he didn't expect that even if he added a toy model of the Floating Demon Array, he could sell it for 10 gold galleons, how much money did Guvet hack him.
"No problem. Lincoln proudly took out ten gold gallons and handed them to the waiter. Then he turned his head and handed the Iron Man model to Rove.
"Little one, first meeting, a gift from my uncle. Along the way, Rove pestered Lincoln to chat. And Lincoln had a very good impression of this child.
"Thank you, Uncle Iron Man. Rove looked surprised. Catch the model and love it.
Newt saw this, smiled, and led Canaan out of the tent.
"The European Quidditch tournament is usually held every three years, so at this time, wizards from all over the world will gather here. Many wizards want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. ”
"There's also a lot of wizard snacks for sale up front, and there's an Indian butter honey drink that I've always loved. But we can wait until the end to buy some more. ”
Newt explained as he led the way ahead. At this time, he pointed to a very large red tent in front of him, "Every time it is the liveliest tent there, and there will be various types of broomsticks for sale." ”
Canaan looked at Newt, and a tent covering an area of nearly 100 square meters, about 20 meters high, was located in the center of the tent group. And there were a lot of wizards happily coming in and out of the tents.
"Let's do it, there are always events going on, and maybe you might get a chance to get a limited edition broomstick. Newt smiled at Canaan and Rove and led the way into the tent.
The space inside the tent is completely different from the outside, the floor here is made of transparent jade, and the roof of the tent is cast with scene magic, blue sky and white clouds.
There is a lot of space inside, Canaan feels that the space here is about the size of the stadium, and there is also a divided area not far away, and there are many wizards flying on broomsticks, as if it is a special test flight area.
On the counter in the distance, a waiter in a big red robe is explaining:
"Quidditch has a long history, from the first Sweep set, the Comet set, and finally the Halo set. He pointed to a display wall and explained in a loud voice.
The display walls were covered with various models of broomsticks, and Canaan saw a 1700 of the Light Wheel he had bought in Diagon Alley. At that time, it cost 134 gold galleons, and the price here is 120 gold galleons, which is a lot cheaper.
He also saw the Halo 1900, which is currently the best performing broomstick in the Halo series, but at the same time it is also the most expensive, requiring 788 gold Galleons.
He remembered that when Harry was in school, he started using a Halo 2000, which was also very valuable, and it seemed that this model of broomstick had not yet come out.
"Everyone!", Canaan was attracted by the loud voice of the red-robed waiter, only to see him take out a very fine flying broomstick, which was streamlined and the surface was shining.
"This is a fire bolt, and I'm sure you've all heard of it, it's the fastest broomstick in the world. The handle is made of ash wood, and the broom handle is hollowed out and numbered, each one unique. ”
"At the moment, we have only brought three firebow arrows for 2,000 gold galleons. He held aloft the flaming crossbow arrows, causing many people to exclaim, and more and more people moved closer to this side.
"It's expensive. Canaan muttered that with the levitation cloak, he didn't think he needed such a broomstick-like flying tool. The high-speed flying levitation cloak is faster than firebolts, and it also keeps warm and windproof.
The waiter saw the crowd gathered around, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "Of course, in order to celebrate the Quidditch competition, we have also prepared a broomstick knowledge competition, and the final winner will receive a broomstick that I have collected for many years. ”
