Chapter 38: Skuma

"This one looks like Skuma. Silver took the powdery bag from Hermione's hand, opened the bag, took out some powder, sniffed it, and shook it off.

Mundungus closed his eyes in distress.

Silver looked at Mundungus with a smirk, "This is really a skuma, and it's the kind of quality that is quite high." Mondongues, where did you get this treasure?"

Mundungus laughed dryly: "Haha, Master Jack is really good at joking, how can this be Skuma, although I, Mundungus, usually sell a little bit of contraband, but it is also harmless gadgets such as salamander eggs, how can I do Skuma's business." Master Jack must have made a mistake, this is not Skuma. ”

"Oh, I misunderstood?" Silver, as he whimsically weighed what he was holding, "and if this thing isn't Skuma, then what is?"

"It's -- it's a new medicine I just got from a friend in India, and it's a pick-me-up. Mundungus quibbled.

"Really? I'll show this to the Aurors in the Drug Enforcement Division, they're experts in this business. Silver seemed to be recounting a very ordinary thing, "If it's really a refreshing new drug that is harmless to the human body, I can help you sell it better." ”

"Please don't do that. "Please, Master Jack, I've never offended you. ”

Silver shook the contents of his hand, "So what exactly are these?"

"Yes - it's Skuma, I got it from a tiger guy from Alaska. "I've been poor lately, and I want to do some big business." ”

"It's really big business, Mundungus. Silver shook Skuma from his hand, "That's enough Skuma to spend the rest of your life in Azkaban." ”

"Young Master Jack, you're not going to report me, are you?" Mundungus pleaded pitifully, "Old Dunge is just a moment of confusion, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. ”

His voice was so poignant that even Hermione couldn't bear it.

"Alright, don't pretend, Mondongues. Silver snorted, "Anything involved with Skuma is a felony, and I can't just act like nothing happened." ”

As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Master Jack, do you need any help from Old Dunger?"

"Help, you're not doing me a favor, you're saving your own life. Jack Silver took the bag of Skuma into his arms, "How many Skumar do you have?"

"No-no, it's just that small packet, I don't have any experience in this kind of goods, I don't dare to buy more, you just saw it, the waitress at the pig's head bar is not willing to help me ship at all. ”

"It's because he's so much smarter than you, Mundungus. Sylphi said with a smile. "Scuma isn't something that everyone can touch. ”

"Jack, what are you talking about this Skuma? Why haven't I heard of it? Hermione finally couldn't help but speak.

"It's a drug, Hermione. "It is very addictive and hallucinogenic and hallucinogenic , even dragons and giants with special constitutions cannot resist this drug, because of its danger, so it is listed as SSS-level contraband, and any wizard who buys and sells Skuma, once caught, awaits him for life." ”

"I never knew that the teachers didn't talk about this kind of thing in Potions or Herbs classes!"

"Because once you know, there are always people who can't help but try it, so the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Scuma's raw material, moon candy, was originally a precious condiment for tiger people. After seventy-seven and forty-nine complicated purification processes, Moon Candy became Scuma. This thing has ruined several races, as well as some promising wizards. Silver narrowed his eyes, "Where's the tiger man who sold you Skuma?

"I don't know, Master Jack. "I just happened to run into the Tiger man who claimed to be from Alaska, and he sold me these skumars for a very low price." ”

"Because whether you sell it to someone else or use it yourself, the next time you go to him, the price will be dozens of times higher. Silver said coldly, "Come on, that tiger man must have left you his contact information, if you don't want to spend the rest of your life in Azkaban, just be honest, I don't think Dumbledore will help a Scuma dealer like you." ”

"But I really don't have his contactβ€”" Mundungus immediately shut up as he looked at Silver, whose face had turned ugly. "Wait, let Old Dunger think. ”

"By the way, Old Dunger remembered. "The tiger man said before leaving, if I still want Skuma, I can go to Tumbledown Alley to find him in the next new moon." (To be continued......)
