Chapter 246: Tumbling Alley
"Does that mean you can't sell this kind of stuff in the joke shop?" Ryan was a little frustrated, after all, he needed gold galleons to buy raw materials. If he didn't sell things for money through this channel, he would have to go to a pawnshop, but then he would lose a lot of money.
"Of course not. Fred waved his arm vigorously, how could he possibly give up this lucrative industry. "This level of alchemy product is just right for the high-end of our joke shop. That's right, Ryan. How much do you produce these alchemy products?"
"I can make one of this grade of product a week. If you work overtime, you can do three times in two weeks. Ryan didn't dare to expose the fact that he could actually do one in 40 minutes. But the speed also surprised Fred.
"One a week is enough, and it's impossible for a joke store to sell too many high-end products. I just heard you say that this grade of product, can you make something of other grades?"
"There's something a little more advanced. Ryan rolled up his sleeve to reveal a fine silver bracelet on his wrist set with seven pale gold gems the size of pinballs.
"What is this?" Fred looked at the exquisite jewelry with some curiosity, and he felt a faint light power in it, which made him feel warm all over.
"I've been busy for more than a month. Ryan said in an ostentatious tone. "It can neutralize the negative energy in the surrounding environment, and has a weak amplification effect on some white magic related to life and light. ”
The core of the bracelet is mainly the seven golden gems on the top, each of which is smelted together by alchemy by a thousand sunlight crystals. These sunlight crystals gather in sufficient quantities to form a stable aggregate of energy. This aggregate is the only magic crystal that Ryan can obtain in bulk. Unfortunately, this crystal has properties and is not suitable for all magic items.
"Forget it, just give me a few of that bracelet just now. Fred shrugged. "This kind of magic prop with a starting price of at least 500 embarrons is not suitable for sale in a store like ours. ”
Ryan pulled out two more copper bracelets from the space bag around his waist. "Okay, let's put these things here and sell them on consignment, hoping to build up the reputation of our store. ”
"That's enough, three of these things can be sold for a while. However, I suggest you stock up on more goods, and when we go to the Quidditch World Cup, I guess a lot of people will buy our things. ”
At this moment, there was the sound of the door opening downstairs, and soon George came up with a large bag and a small bag.
"Ryan, why did you get to Diagon Alley today?" asked George, setting aside his contents.
"Bring some of my newly developed things over and let you see if they can be used as new products in our store, and buy some more ingredients by the way." ”
"New product, what's going on?" George had just asked the question, and Fred pulled him aside and gave a quick explanation.
"That's right, then you can check the potion shop and ingredient store on the street to see if there is anything you need. There are also some of the more precious raw materials in Gringotts, which you can buy at the Balance Auction House behind Gringotts. George was very enthusiastic to introduce Ryan to the various shops in Diagon Alley that sold alchemy ingredients.
"There's an auction house on Diagon Alley, why haven't I ever heard of it?" asked Ryan, puzzled.
"After all, students don't usually have anything to do with auction houses, and we can't afford to buy them anyway, so we just heard something about auction houses from our father. ”
"By the way, if you have something you still can't find, you can write us a list and we'll help you find it in Tumbledown Alley. Fred finally added.
After saying goodbye to the Weasley brothers, Ryan first took a trip around Diagon Alley to buy most of the basic alchemy ingredients he needed. But there were a few ingredients he couldn't find in Diagon Alley. After all, there are some things in the alchemy raw materials he needs, which are really not above board.
"Now it's just a mummy powder and a vampire's blood. Looks like we'll have to take a trip down Tumbledown Alley. Thinking of this, Ryan found a corner of Diagon Alley, and then drank the compound potion he carried with him after casting an amplifying spell on his clothes.
The last time he seized a compound decoction in Brazil, he had taken half of it when he came out. The hair inside was also pulled by a middle-aged man of southern European descent on the way home from the train station that day.
The flavor of the polyjuice decoction is like boiled cabbage, and when swallowed quickly, the muddy potion seems to come alive in the stomach. After all the potions had entered his stomach, there was a burning sensation that quickly spread throughout his body, and Ryan felt like his whole body was about to melt. Soon he found himself growing rapidly, fitting the loose clothes he had worn from the magnification charm. By the time all the discomfort had stopped, he had turned into a middle-aged man with a public face.
"It's an amazing feeling, but hopefully I won't need to drink it again. Ryan shook his head, changing the color and style of his robe, then lowered his head and pulled out a cloth wrapped cylinder about the size of a football in the space bag, hung a rope diagonally over his shoulder, and put on the hood of his robe. Then Shi Shiran walked into Tumbledown Alley.
Tumbledown Alley is a dirty alley lined with shops that seem to be full of black magic. Through the dirty shop windows, brown poisonous spiders and shrunken human heads can be seen. The wizards roaming the streets don't look like good people, and some are openly selling poisonous herbs or some weird silver products.
"How can you look like a dark wizard who often visits such places, urgently, online, etc. "One of the big problems with Ryan walking into Tumbledown Alley is that he doesn't know how a dark wizard deals with people, and he doesn't know what these shops sell. After a brief moment of thought, Ryan decided to head to the Borgin Bock store, as he only knew about the store.
The Borgin Bock store was the largest store in Tumbledown Alley, and Ryan easily found it, with chests full of skeletons and bottles on both sides of the door.
As soon as he pushed the door open, the bell rang on the door, and Ryan walked straight to the front of the counter. A hunched man appeared behind the counter, his hand running back his shiny hair.
"Welcome, who are you?" asked Mr. Borgin in a tone as smooth as his hair.
"You don't need to know that. Ryan spoke in English with a strong Spanish accent, mimicking the pirate of the Assassin's Legacy of Memory, while releasing some of the breath of death in the magic of life. "I'm just here to buy a little and sell something, after all, I don't have much cash on me. ”
"Well, what are you selling?" Mr. Borgin quickly stopped his tentative and solemnly asked, perhaps because of the intimidation of those death breaths.
"How much does this cost?" Ryan said, placing the cloth bag hanging from his shoulder on the counter, and then ripped off the cloth wrapped around it.
