Chapter 63: The Mansion

"'Singing the Opposite'?" Mellen Watts spread his hands dryly, "I didn't find this magazine, but I found the Xenophilius Lovegood you said." With the support of 50,000 gold galleons, he agreed to start a magazine called "Singing Contrarians". ”

"That's good." Tang Bai nodded with satisfaction. Although the authoritative surname of "Singing and Contradictory" cannot be compared with newspapers and magazines such as "The Prophet", its later sales are even higher than that of "The Prophet". This shows that Xenophilius is indeed a talent.

"The last contract is the shop in Tumbledown Alley near Diagon Alley." Mellen Watts handed over the last magical contract in his hand.

Tang Bai stretched out his hand to take it, took it in his hand and glanced at it, and said softly: "Bogin-Bock store? The shop that specializes in buying and selling all kinds of dangerous dark magic objects? Tang Bai said, looking at Mellen Watts with inquiring eyes.

Borgin Burke's shop also has a few strong strokes in the original Harry Potter books. As the largest shop in Tumbledown Alley, it houses a collection of uncomfortable, even dangerous, evil magical items.

The most evil and powerful Dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort, once worked as a clerk in Borgin Burke's shop. Draco Malfoy, in the original books, also used the vanishing locker in Borgin's store to quietly transfer a group of Death Eaters to Hogwarts.

"Yes! While I personally hate dark wizards who worship violence and killing, I don't hate people like Bogin Burke. He was a talented man. It took me the remaining one million gold galleons, plus some inducements, to get the Borgin Burke store under my belt. Mellen Watts looked serious, as if he wanted to prove that what he said was true.

"There's some good stuff in him." Thinking of the vanishing cabinet that could connect to Hogwarts, Tang Bai nodded thoughtfully.

"Hah, you think I'm just here for the so-called stuff in his shop? No, no, no! My dear Don! Most of those things add up to not as much value as Bogin Bock in my eyes! He is the center of gravity and attraction for us! Mellen Watts heard Tang Bai's words, shook his head firmly, and retorted to Tang Baidao.

"He's very well-connected and well-connected?" Tang Bai frowned slightly.

"Channels and connections? He does have a good relationship with some pure-blood families, and judging by the surname, Bogin-Bock should be related to Herbert Bock. Seeing the inexplicable look on Tang Bai's face, Mellen Watts patiently explained to him in detail: "Herbert Bock's wife is Belvina Black!" ”

"Bogin-Bock is a rare alchemist!" Mellen Watts said with great certainty: "In terms of the reputation of alchemy, Bogin Bock is far inferior to Nicol Lemay, and in terms of famous alchemy achievements, he is even inferior to some disciples taught by Nicol Lemay, but when it comes to making some strange and mysterious alchemy items, the people of the Bock family will never lose to anyone." ”

"Really?" Tang Bai looked at Mellen Watts and tilted his head.

"You don't seem to believe it?" Mellen Watts glanced at Tang Bai's face and continued with some emphasis, "You should have heard of the Mirror of Eris, right?" The magic mirror that can reflect the deepest, most urgent and longing desires of people's hearts. ”

"Don't tell me that the maker of the Mirror of Eris is Borgin Bock." Tang Bai looked at Mellen Watts in slight surprise.

"Nope! The maker of the Mirror of Eris is not Bogin Bock, but an elder in the history of the Boke family! As long as you're in the wizarding world, you can't avoid the three things you need to learn and be familiar with: magic, potions, and alchemy! The alchemy of the Bock family is as unique as that of Ollivander, who only makes wands. ”

"Well, I have no intention of arguing with you about anything. I'm very happy with all the store categories you've acquired. Tang Bai shrugged.

"Then sign them and let them be fully valid!" Mellen Watts grinned and handed Tang Bai a quill.

Tang Bai took the white quill and signed his name on the large pile of magic contracts. This is not the first time Tang Bai has used this kind of quill pen to write, compared to the first awkwardness, he has become more proficient at this moment.

Tang Bai was not worried about what Merlen Watts would do with these magic contracts, because a series of contracts had already been signed between the two to avoid this kind of thing from happening. In terms of commercial activities, one of the things that is better about the wizarding world than the real world is that in the case of a magical contract, there is no need to worry about the fair and practical surnames.

These magical contracts are obtained from the Ministry of Magic of the host country, and each time such a magic contract is signed, the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic of the host country will automatically generate a copy of the same magic contract as a backup. No wizard would break these draconian magical contracts after they had signed them. Because that kind of consequences no wizard wants to see.

Mellen Watts watched Tang Bai write down the magic documents with his head bored, and continued in a somewhat show-off and inviting tone: "Tang, in addition to that, I have a few good news to tell you!" ”

"What?" Tang Bai raised his head from the document, and after glancing at Meren Watts, he continued to sign the thick magic contract with his head in order to make them fully effective.

"Don't you want a mansion? I've found the right one for you. Mellen Watts rubbed her hands together and said happily.

Tang Bai put down the pen and glanced at Mellen Watts in surprise: "So fast? ”

"Haha, who told Don to catch up with the good times? A mansion that has been passed down for more than 100 years. Noether and I have thoroughly sorted it out, and reapplied all the defensive magic and everything. Whether it's comfort or safety, it's more than a step ahead of the house I live in. Mellen Watts exclaimed.

"After buying these properties, do I have any remaining gold galleons to buy that old house that has been passed down for more than 100 years?" Tang Bai stared at Mellen Watts with two eyes. Tang Bai understood one thing before, the house in the wizarding world is not the newer the better, but the longer it exists, the longer it is inherited, the more precious it becomes. Because the house that has been inherited for hundreds of years will have all kinds of defensive spells imposed on it for generations, and the security surname is almost the extreme, and there is no doubt about it. Just like Hogwarts.

"Hah! This is my gift to you, Don! Knott also has a gift for you, and he promises you'll love his one! Mellen Watts hurriedly laughed.

"Then you're welcome." Tang Bai also smiled, the twenty percent of the shares he gave to Mellen Watts seemed to have won Mellen Watts' considerable favor. With the Mellen Watts Magic Shop with the clover of life and death, the future development and circle of money are almost a sure thing. Compared with the twenty percent long-term benefits that Tang Bai gave away, a house, even if it is a house with a long heritage, is not worth anything.
