Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bazaar of the Three Sages (2) Chinese Magic Ornaments

I don't bother to name the currencies of various countries, one currency for one continent, and North and South America are different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info private

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As soon as he stepped onto the street, a wizard in a dirty robe immediately approached. A mouth full of yellow teeth is exposed, and it emits a foul-smelling smell of dirt smoke.

"You two, you are from Europe. I can offer a lower exchange rate than Gringotts, are you interested?"

Little Watson stepped forward and pushed him away.

"Fuck off. ”

"You're late, we're done. The two ignored him.

"Hey, one gold for three Galleons and seventeen sico, you can change more, there are so many good things hereβ€”"

Get rid of the wizard, they didn't get rid of the crowd that poured up. Every wizard who leaves the apparition zone will be entangled by several wizards.

"Two, do you want a guide, the bazaar is much bigger than you think, and there isn't one-"

"Rent two broomsticksβ€”"

"Don't listen to his gentlemen, he bought silver arrows, and he might as well go fast. I think, let's have some flying carpets, there is built-in air conditioning. ”

Hearing this, Phoenix hesitated, but the wizard with a broomstick in his hand made a strange gesture.

"Want to fight, Phil!" the wizard tossed the flying carpet out of his hand and drew his wand neatly. The hawkers, who had surrounded them, immediately changed their attention.

"Hit!"

"This is the third time you've made trouble for me today. In an instant, the two of them fought.

Phoenix tidied up his robe, and walked around, at least not to have fun. The self-recommended guide was right, the bazaar was huge. Wizards from East Asia, Europe, and Africa traded their goods here, far from being comparable to the local commercial streets of Diagon Alley. Unfortunately, Jerusalem was destroyed in 1099 and later rebuilt in Riyadh.

During this period, the commercial status of the Three Sages was surpassed by Wanbang City and collapsed.

"All the wizards of Arabia are so enthusiastic?" Even though it was already afternoon, Phoenix felt that the sun was hot and harsh. He squinted his eyes and said.

"It depends on the gold in our pockets. ”

At a nearby stall, bundles of wands were on display. The sign reads 'Second-Hand Wand', and a piece of paper is taped to each bundle. It reads 'Made by Ollivanders' and on the paper next to it says 'Made by Violetta Beauvais'. Compared to the stall next door, the business of this stall is quite bleak.

Not all stalls are set up in the open air like this. Black magic items and contraband are all in tents, and Watson Jr. said that in the bazaar, except for the shops of large companies, tents are used only for illegal businesses.

"Aren't they separated?" Phoenix asked, confused.

"There's a mix of legal and illegal businesses here, but there's more to the South and better quality. He glanced at the sign in front of the tent next to him, "Large companies are usually located in the center. ”

"Where are we?"

"East District, go ahead and you'll find the central statueβ€”ah," little Watson pointed to a tent in front of him, "past Zeng Congzi, a few dozen meters ahead." ”

On the crowded street, on a big flag, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced and wrote 'Zeng Congzi'. It is also very eye-catching when viewed from a distance. Just look up and forward, it's hard to miss.

"I remember the East Asian wizards loved the ornaments they made for ten minutes, go and see them. ”

After the wand was invented in Europe, it spread as trade spread from Arabia. The merits of casting spells with a staff quickly aroused the interest of wizards in other places. The nature of the magic that was passed down in the family at the time made many wizards still stick to their traditions.

East Asia was the first region to popularize wands, but the tradition of East Asian shamans was to make houses out of trees that contained magical powers. Therefore, he developed his own unique magic ornament to achieve the effect of a magic wand, using a magical item with strong magic power as the core, and making jewelry from carefully selected materials.

It is still popular in Asia. Asian shamans often wear earrings, necklaces, rings and other accessories that are their wands.

Phoenix was eating ice cream he had bought from the side of the road, and the cold was blowing across his face.

The sign at the door reads: Zeng Congzi was founded in the first year of A.D.

There is a piece of jade or jadeite hanging on the sign. Phoenix can't tell the difference between the two.

"What do you say is the difference between jade and jadeite?"

"Jade is white?" said little Watson uncertainly. Phoenix didn't delve into the question and lifted the curtain. An Asian wizard brushed shoulders with them in his face.

The interior of the store is very clean, surrounded by a trickle of water. Some lotus leaves floated on the water, and a small wooden bridge was made, and two house-elves immediately greeted them. Dressed in white uniforms, bow to them.

Brought to a man in a Western-style black vest and white shirt, they turned away.

"Welcome, in the lower Haoren. Where are you from?" the man asked politely in English.

"Ahem," Phoenix said in Mandarin, and picked out another meaning in the pronunciation of his name. Quickly turning his laughter into a dry cough, he replied in German, "Switzerland." ”

"Ah, good place. Snow-capped mountain waterfalls, green lakes, like paradise. Hao Ren immediately praised in fluent German, "Are the two of you adults?"

"I haven't yet, how can it make a difference?" asked Phoenix, curious.

"Yes, according to the laws of the International Federation of Wizards, we cannot sell ornaments with magical inscriptions to underage wizards. As he spoke, he led them towards the stairs on the left.

"Accessories with magical inscriptions often have the function of resisting spells, which can help wizards resist some evil spells or offensive magic, and some auxiliary functions. Therefore we have to confirm the age of the guests in order to decide which ones can be sold. He looked at Phoenix secretly, "I don't think Mr. is in the first grade." ”

"I came here for a tour, and I heard that you are very famous in Asia, so I came in to have a look. Phoenix said.

"I see, then I can introduce you to it. ”

The second floor was very empty, consisting of glass cases and a large candelabra hanging from the top, but there was nothing else.

"Gentlemen, the highest magic ornament production technology, the pinnacle of modern magic script. Hao Ren took out the necklace in front of them, "Possess the Resist Partial Evil Charmβ€”" He pointed to the wooden sign next to the glass case, which read various spells, "For European wizards, the best thing about it is the Immunity Disarming Charm. Built-in 10 cubic meters of potion storage, a 10 cubic meter storage space for sundries. At the time of purchase, it can be adjusted according to the customer's requirements, and it comes with a special license for the Stretching Charm without a Trace. ”

The Traceless Stretch Spell is a high-level spell, but it is tightly controlled due to its potential to be abused. Theoretically, a hundred wizards who are proficient in this spell can squeeze into a toilet cubicle, and the possibility of violating international wizard secrecy laws is obvious. The Ministry of Magic of various countries therefore made strict regulations on the spell: the Traceless Stretching Charm could not be used for private purposes, but only for the production of individual items (such as school suitcases and family tents) that had been approved by the relevant Ministry of Magic.

Phoenix has never cared about this law, no one will accuse him anyway, the small officials can't manage it, and the big officials don't dare to take care of it. (To be continued.) )
