Arriving at the door of the largest bookstore in Mahogany Town, Ryan and the others realized that since it was the school's student purchase day, the bookstore took this opportunity to invite several famous writers to solicit customers, resulting in the entire bookstore being stuffed with wizards who had come here, and it seemed likely that they would not even be able to squeeze in.

In this case, the bookstore can only be sadly crossed out from the travel destination. After all, it's really not suitable for reading books when it's so lively inside.

Since this kind of big bookstore can't work, Ryan immediately thought of going to a second-hand bookstore to find Taobao. As a place where books are as expensive as in the UK, there are naturally not too few second-hand bookstores. However, because the profit of second-hand books is not high, the bookstore will definitely not be located in such a bustling commercial street, after all, the little profit is likely to not even pay the rent.

Well, what needs to be sold under other names is really not suitable for this kind of crowded street.

Because I was a little worried about going to the back streets, especially the description of law and order in South America in the news in my previous life was not very good. So Ryan made an excuse to put something in Hermione's pocket out of Hermione's sight before continuing their journey.

After that, I asked several people and walked around the street a few times. Ryan and Hermione finally find a second-hand bookstore on a small and crowded road.

The store looks a bit like Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley, with very small fronts but a mystical feel. In the gray shop window, piles and piles of books were arranged. In the window there is a badly oxidized metal sign that reads, in Spanish: Little shop in Skorzny.

Pushing open the door, Ryan found that the door of this small shop was not large, but the space inside was not small, and all kinds of goods filled the shelves with rows and rows. After roughly scanning the shelves, Ryan realized that this was not a simple second-hand bookstore, but a large thrift store.

Strings of feathers of all colors, old wands with various scratches, strange stone carvings, all sorts of herbs (Ryan, who is a plant master, swears most of them are fake), props and magic books that glow with colorful light, are stacked on the shelves layer after layer. Except for the simplest sorting, the store looks like a large garbage collection bin.

After walking around a small pile of specimens that could not be seen what it was, and stepping over a broom with only a stick left, Ryan saw the owner of the shop, an old man with white hair who looked to be in his 70s. He dozed off behind the counter in a black wizard's robe.

After seeing Ryan and the two of them standing in front of him, he just waved his hand weakly and said, "There is a price on each shelf, just come to me to pay after choosing something." Remember, once you take it off the shelf, you have to buy it, and there is magic monitoring in the store, don't try to fool around. ”

Ryan returned to the shelves and took a closer look, only to find that the prices on the shelves ranged from one west to ten gallons.

After browsing through a few shelves, Ryan came to the conclusion that the owner of the shop was a black-hearted merchant. Because he really couldn't see why that pile of rags dared to bid such a high price. On top of that, each shelf has runes on it that shield magical perception, which causes you to reach into the shelf and look through the items, but you can't tell what the hell is going on until you take them out, no wonder the store asks for items taken from the shelves to be bought.

Watching Hermione flip through some of the shelves of Ilvermorny and Castro Brush's textbooks, Ryan quietly stepped aside to explore the goods on the other shelves.

Although each shelf uses magic to release hidden and isolated magic, it does not mean that these magic are foolproof. When Ryan began to perceive the goods on the shelves using the Dao method of perception, he found that he could vaguely feel the magical energy contained in some things.

It's no wonder, after all, Dao is a completely different system of extraordinary power, and it's likely that the boss didn't think of this kind of thing at all when he set up magic. So it was not surprising that Ryan caught some loopholes.

In Dao perception, Ryan realized that the owner of this shop was darker than he imagined. For example, the so-called wood spirit (there is a non-magical subspecies of this thing called American ginseng) that was introduced in Castro Bruzzo's potions class is expensive because of its life-replenishing effect and low production.

Ryan saw on a shelf that there was a complete wood spirit on the shelf with a price tag of ten Galleons, and this price was much lower than the market price. However, in the perception of Taoism, the wood spirit placed on the shelf actually only has the outermost layer of skin, and inside is the rhizome of another unknown plant.

Seriously, with such a subtle level of fraud, even without these magical barriers, it is estimated that many people will still be fooled by this.

However, although there are many fakes in this store, it does not mean that there are no good things. After all, it looks like the shop has been operating in this place for a long time, and the wizarding world is just a few people. If there were only fakes, this store would have been smashed a long time ago.

For example, Ryan found an arm-sized thousand-year-old lightning strike wood in a pile of garbage, the only regret is that it is a mahogany tree instead of a peach wood, but it is enough for Ryan to make a magic sword, depending on the size of this wood, in addition to making a sword, it is enough to make a set of talismans.

In addition to this, Ryan also picked out some ores with magical reactions and prepared to go back and see what they were for.

When he went to the counter with a bunch of things to check out, he unexpectedly found a black notebook under the boss's counter, the cover of the notebook reflected the sunlight outside the window, and Ryan could see a triangle, a circle and a vertical symbol embossed on it, which looked very much like a triangular eye.

Ryan's movements paused, as he recognized the symbol on the notebook representing the Saints of Grindelwald. Consider the age of the owner and the German name of the shop. Ryan thought that the shopkeeper was probably one of the saints back then.

Thinking of this, Ryan felt that his cold sweat was about to come down. After all, the shadow of the tree of the name of man. Unlike Voldemort's rabble of Death Eaters, Grindelwald's Saints are much more organized than Death Eaters. It's impossible to say what will happen once the shopkeeper finds out about his secret, so Ryan just wants to tell Hermione to leave the shop quickly.

But sometimes you can come to what you are afraid of, and after seeing what Ryan took out, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled at him, and then said, "Boy, your eyesight looks good, do you want to come with me to see the good things in the warehouse behind?"
