Chapter 3: Diagon Alley

After a long and boring social process, Xie An can finally get rid of boring things, and can return to his own small world with peace of mind and do something he likes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shapeshifting, this kind of magic seems magical, but I'm curious about how the magic can hit a magician who can be extremely skilled and can move at any time, imagine that the enemy has disappeared in an instant when the requisition spell has just been launched. Could it be that this kind of magic can't change the form of the body, but only opens a door in space, or a tiny harmless wormhole?" Xie An didn't notice the arrival of the countess while thinking about the magic recorded in the book, and compared with his previous knowledge.

The Countess looked at her son obsessively looking at the magic book, and remembered the question of the children's sorting that she had discussed with her husband today, and Andy would definitely be assigned to Ravenclaw, who was born to do research.

"Andy, what do you think of Harry Potter today?" asked the Countess softly.

"What, you said that boy? Xie An replied nonchalantly.

"He's the legendary kid who defeated the Dark Lord. The Countess laughed at her child's tsundere.

"Yes? I took the time to read the description of the Dark Lord, it seems that it was around the time when I was born, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos at that time..."This is the darkest time of the Cold War, the whole world is under the threat of nuclear midnight, as a survivor of the apocalyptic world, these wars and destruction are extremely sensitive.

The massive magical destructive power of this world cannot reach the strength of nuclear antimatter, and it is naturally impossible to defend against nuclear weapons. Knowing that he would not be able to gain the power to fight the end of his life, Xie An was only a little more desperate.

Xie An sighed slightly and threw the book aside.

The Countess sensed her son's melancholy keenly, and the little joy at the table was soon swallowed up by it.

"Speaking of which, I didn't buy Andy a wand because of Harry's business, so let's go buy wands together tomorrow. ”

"No need, just let Victor go and get a wand tomorrow. Xie An said softly.

"That's not going to work, choosing a wand is a big deal, you have to go there yourself. This wand may stay with you for the rest of your life. Noticing that her precious son was even more depressed, the Countess became nervous.

"What's the matter, isn't it just a weapon. Can't you replace them with better weapons? Like those legendary wands. "From a warrior's point of view, it's normal for weapons to be updated, not to mention, many times, the apocalyptic world where even weapons don't necessarily exist.

"Oh, baby, you're very wrong, wands can help you with a lot of things, like..."

"Like housework, knitting sweaters, Victor can do all of that. Xie An unconsciously brought out that desperate mockery, and the countess seemed to be stunned. The two fell silent.

Magic has been passed down in this world for more than thousands of years, and the magicians of this world generally believe that ancient Egypt is the birthplace of magic. This strange skill derived from shamanism and witchcraft has undergone a series of developments and refinements to reach its current size.

However, although magic is different from the technology developed later, the essence is an interpretation of the rules of this world, and the Egyptians believed that magic existed, which is why they called the things that were researched magic.

Realizing that her son might be right, not only did not make the Countess proud, but made her even more worried. The naturally intelligent Ravenclaw instinct made the Countess already worried about this ominous sign.

Just when his mother was at a loss, Xie An suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe you're right, Mom, I might want to go and see it again tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Andy, you should go out and make more friends. Do you need me to go out with you tomorrow? Your dad is going to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow, no, maybe he can join us. The Countess hastened to seize the opportunity.

"No, I can do it myself, maybe I can let Victor accompany me. The black atmosphere that hung over the child temporarily subsided, and after some consideration, the countess finally agreed to her son's suggestion and asked the younger Victor to accompany him to Diagon Alley the next day.

"Victor, where are we going to get the money?" The weather was good, although I slept very badly yesterday, but when I got up early in the morning and saw my parents who slept as badly as myself, Xie An still tried to put on a very relaxed appearance, and after eating breakfast quietly, he calmly went out with Victor.

Victor is a very young house-elf, and another elf older than him has been serving the Li family for a long time. Xie An couldn't tell the elf's age at all, and could only sound like Victor was a young lad from his voice.

"Well, young master, the gold coins in the family are all in the Gringotts Bank, but I don't have the right to enter the family bank, after all, I haven't been here for too long. But Madame had already given me a bag of gold coins when she went out, which should be enough for the expenses. Victor replied modestly.

"Oh, that's it, why weren't you born in this family?" Xie An thought that house-elves had lived in one place for generations, serving a family, and it seemed that this was not the case before.

"This, young master, I have been here for less than thirty years, the Li family is a great family, even among the many magic families in the UK, it is also an extremely prestigious family, I am proud to serve the Li family. Victor tensed.

It turns out that this is the case, the Li family has only been in contact with magic for a few hundred years, so naturally it cannot be compared with those traditional magic families. Xie An secretly laughed at himself for making a low-level mistake. Xie An didn't say more, through the window of the bus, the outside world was distorted, this kind of space magic was really advanced.

The whole Diagon Alley was full of people, and the students and their parents were about to crowd Diagon Alley. After taking a turn around a shop that sells crucibles, Xie An asks Victor to pay for a crucible with automatic mixing. This crucible is seamlessly glowing with a metallic luster, and I don't know what magic is attached to it, but it can be stirred automatically.

A doomsday human who is naturally sensitive to energy, Xie An is curious about where the energy of this crucible comes from. After studying for a long time, the red magic spells on the back of the crucible were distributed like spider webs on the back of the crucible, and the center of the magic spell was inlaid with a stone the size of a baby's palm. Xie Anxin already has the answer.

"Young master, maybe we should go to the owl shop opposite to buy an owl, although as an old nobleman, a customized pure-blooded owl is the best, but the master has never paid attention to these. Victor suggested.

After figuring out that these subtle runes were the same as circuits, Xie An happily agreed to Victor's proposal.

The two of them went out of the crucible shop, and were staggered by the noisy crowd, Victor was small and small, and Xie An had to lead Victor so that he would not be separated.

After squeezing through the crowd, I finally arrived at the place where the owls were sold, but I didn't see the name of the store at all, and the people were too crowded to look up and admire.

Xie An patted the new robe that had been trampled on several times with an unhappy face, and Victor hurriedly cleaned the hem of the robe with magic.

"Hey, it's amazing, is that magic?" A high-pitched female voice sounded, Xie An was unmoved, and indifferently walked into the pet store with Victor.

"Luna, is that magic? It's amazing, you can clean your clothes without washing, and besides, is that a goblin just now? It's so weird, I've only heard of it in the Dungeons & Dragons story. The girl who accompanied her looked at Victor and Xie An in surprise, with a curious expression.

"Hermione, that's not a goblin, it's a house-elf," Luna explained. Hermione was a Muggle and Luna was a young wizard, and the two met by chance and became friends.

"House-elves? what is that, is it an elf, oh, I really should read more books about the wizarding world, so I don't have common sense, and I won't be ridiculed by other classmates." Hermione said nervously.

"No, most of the little wizards born in the wizarding world are similar to you, so don't worry. Luna's father comforted.

Seeing that her daughter was still staring at Xie An who was getting farther and farther away, Hermione's mother hurriedly said, "I also think I should buy a basic general knowledge book, so that I can also read it, so as not to be ignorant of what my daughter is learning in the future." ”

"Don't worry, haven't you seen it, it's true! It turns out that all the legends about wizards are true! Oh, our daughter is so lucky to be able to live in a completely different world than we are. Hermione's dad was completely shocked by the novelty of the world in front of him, and for the first time, this decent dentist had seen a real, completely detached world, and was still in a dreamlike excitement.

Xie An floated close to the counter, a pair of small hands gently stroked the blood ** spell on the counter, all kinds of useless runes lit up in turn, and the clerk hurriedly came over and said loudly: "Hey, boy, don't release your magic power casually, that will make these mysterious creatures afraid." ”

Victor jumped onto the counter and said haughtily and calmly: "Hello, wizard, my little master wants to buy a pet, do you have the latest mysterious creature here?"

The clerk saw that he was bringing the house-elves, and he already knew that the big customer was coming, so he hurriedly said attentively: "Yes, yes, what does this little master want, owl?

Xie An glanced at it indifferently, shook his head, and the clerk hurriedly took out another snow-white owl and sold it hard.

"Victor, I can't even look at these things, it's too bad, let's go to the house that my father often goes. Xie An said.

The clerk saw that the young master was impatient, so he had to give up his sales plan and asked directly, "What kind of pet do you need?"

"Dragon, is there one?" Xie An asked

"This, no. The clerk replied dryly.

"Is there a unicorn or not, and it's good to buy one and go back to be a mount. Xie An asked reluctantly.

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't have this one. The clerk didn't know how to answer, can a unicorn be a pet?

"Okay, does the Hippogriff have it, there's always one, right?"

"That, young master, they're just an ordinary pet shop here, I'm afraid they don't have any of that. Victor on the side had already realized that his little master was really not an ordinary person, and such a small shop might not be able to meet his needs, and after disdainful of the clerk with a cold sweat on his face, he explained softly.

"Sure enough, it's a waste of time, what to do with an owl. Let's go. Xie An said.

The clerk, who was despised for a while, finally regained his ability to think at this time, and saw that the big customer was about to leave, so he hurriedly remedied: "Honorable young master, please wait a minute, see that your skin is a mysterious Oriental, no wonder the prophet had to leave this mysterious creature to me, it was originally intended for you, you must like this mysterious creature, please wait a moment, no, please come with me, this mysterious creature is not too convenient to appear in this noisy place." ”

The clerk's impromptu move successfully attracted Xie An's attention, Xie An saw the clerk looking at him expectantly, and smiled: "Your eyesight is good, but you should understand that I am not short of owls, cats or three-legged turtles." ”

"No, no, it's not any of these, this mysterious creature called Rolling Ball, you're going to love it!"

Although his understanding of the ancient world is extremely limited, and he only knows a limited number of symbolic animals that can bring positive energy to people, this black and white creature is too famous, even in the apocalyptic world, it is still one of the most healing and inspiring creatures, Xie An was stunned at a glance when he saw this creature.

"Victor, this is it, buy it. Xie An made a decision without hesitation.
