Zhang Qiu said: "It's not bad, my parents took me home, my original hometown was also by the sea, and I also picked up a lot of beautiful shells." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Phyllis said, "It's good to go back and see more, and don't limit yourself to this small area." ”

Zhang Qiu was slightly stunned, lowered his head and played with the strap of his backpack, the professor's words were actually somewhat out of place, at least not out of place here.

Seeing Zhang Qiu's appearance, Phyllis sighed slightly, Zhang Qiu was a little too sensitive. In this regard, Hermione and Zhang Qiu are about the same. Hermione was born in an ordinary family, and at the age of eleven, she had never heard of wizards or magic before receiving her admission letter to Hogwarts, and suddenly came to a completely unfamiliar wizarding world, and everything around her was different from what she was familiar with, and she would inevitably feel a little out of place, and Zhang Qiu, a student who came to school in a foreign country, was even more sensitive. But both of these students are very good in Phyllis's opinion, and they are trying to adapt to the environment and expect to be recognized by everyone.

Regarding the exclusion of Chinese Americans in this European country, Phyllis did not feel as deeply as Zhang Qiu. In such a world with supernatural abilities, there will inevitably be an invisible rule of "strength is respected", and as one of the most powerful professors at Hogwarts, Phyllis naturally does not need to be too concerned when she speaks. When Peeves provoked her, she didn't have the slightest intention of tolerating, and almost killed the mischievous ghost, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall and confronted the school's vice principal. The basis of Phyllis's self-confidence is her strong strength, but Zhang Qiu herself can not have the strength to confront the professor by force, she is still in the study stage, and she will inevitably have to be more patient when encountering things.

Seeing that Zhang Qiu didn't speak, Phyllis didn't continue the topic anymore, she said, "Your parents, they didn't come with you." ”

Seeing that this somewhat embarrassing topic was finally revealed, Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, they are all busy, so I will come by myself." ”

"That's right." Phyllis said, "Have you bought all the things you need for the new semester, and if you do, I'll treat you to a cold drink." ”

Zhang Qiu said bluntly: "Okay, thank you, Professor Kate." ”

Phyllis nodded slightly and said, "Let's go." ”

The two came to Florin's cold drink shop and found a window seat to sit down, Zhang Qiu asked for a strawberry ice cream, and Phyllis only asked for a glass of ice water.

Seeing that the professor didn't order anything, Zhang Qiu asked a little embarrassedly, "Doesn't the professor like to eat cold drinks?" ”

Phyllis said: "I don't particularly like it, tell me about the team, is there any hope for this Academy Cup?" Whether it's deliberate or genuinely liked, Phyllis is really interested in Ravenclaw, the House Cup is loved by every Hogwarts student, even Ravenclaw, who is generally not very good at sports and doesn't like it very much, will care a lot about the results of the game, and Phyllis, as a professor, cares about the preparation before the game.

Speaking of his favorite Quidditch, Zhang Qiu's eyes lit up and gave the professor an update on the development of Quidditch, although Phyllis actually just wanted to ask Ravenclaw how prepared for the House Cup was, and her own hobby of Quidditch was actually quite limited.

In the end, Zhang Qiu said with envy: "Recently, a new model of flying broomsticks, called fire crossbow arrows, is the most perfect competition flying broomsticks so far, representing the highest level of craftsmanship, the broom is made of ash wood, streamlined, exquisite, hard as a diamond polishing agent to be treated, and has a hand-engraved registration number...... "Zhang Qiu recited the instructions for the fire crossbow arrows as a few treasures.

Phyllis was about to doze off when she heard this, and when she finally finished speaking, she asked, "Since that broomstick is so good, then I'll buy you one, it's sold here, right?" ”

"No, no." Zhang Qiu hurriedly waved her hand, she didn't want the professor to misunderstand, "The extremely fast acceleration and super sensitive steering of the Fire Ballista Arrow are for professional Quidditch teams, and we amateur teams don't need to use such a good one." Although he said this, Zhang Qiu's eyes still showed a trace of envy.

Phyllis smiled slightly, she knew that Zhang Qiu didn't want to pay for herself, the last time she paid for Zhang Qiu, a Ravenclaw Seeker, to buy a light wheel 2000 I heard that it caused some discussion, and this time I am afraid that the discussion will be even bigger if I buy her a fire crossbow arrow, the general matter is always a little conspicuous in favor of one person, but to buy one for the whole team, the cost is too great, and just like Zhang Qiu said, for some students whose skills are not up to the mark, it is indeed easy to have an accident rashly using this kind of flying broom used in professional competitions.

Phyllis crossed her hands on the table and said, "Zhang Qiu, there are often some activities held in ordinary people's universities, and it will inevitably cost money to hold activities, but how can ordinary students have so much money, at this time, they need to go - pull sponsorship!" ”

Zhang Qiu's parents' father is a wizard and her mother is an ordinary person, but she has lived in a wizard's environment since she was a child, and she is a little out of touch with the world of ordinary people, she asked curiously: "What is a sponsorship?" ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "You can understand for yourself, okay, it's almost time, I'm leaving." ”

Although Zhang Qiu didn't figure it out, he also knew that the professor would only remind him to come here, and the rest would be understood by himself, in the same mode as the Q&A in class, any question he got from Professor Kate would only be prompted, not directly answered.

After greeting the bill, the two walked out of the cold drink shop and separated, and Phyllis continued to wander Diagon Alley, turning into Tumbledown Alley while no one was looking. Contrary to the bustling atmosphere of Diagon Alley, Tumbledown Alley seems very lonely at all times, and the people walking on the road are silent and hurried. Phyllis looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, tightened her magic robes, and walked straight towards the Borgin Burke Magic Shop, which was exactly a quarter past three when she stepped through the door.

Seeing Phyllis come in, the proprietor, Mr. Brookin, said in a slightly exaggerated greasy voice, "Miss Kate is so punctual!" ”

Phyllis nodded, didn't be polite to him, and asked directly, "Is what I want here?" ”

Mr. Borgin tossed aside the greasy linen rag, took out a small wooden box from a dark compartment at the bottom of the back shelf, and placed it on the counter, which opened and contained a fresh herb, the roots wrapped in a plastic bag, and a lot of black soil, this herb with slender branches and five sky-blue leaves. Mr. Borgin explained, "This is the blue chailin grass you wanted, this is highly poisonous, hmm...... Prohibited Herbal Medicines...... From Australia, New Zealand and South America, but in the best condition, from the town of Harran, Brazil, look at the sheer blue of this fascinating color! "Harran is also a small town inhabited by witches, which cannot be found on the map of ordinary people, where the soil and climate are very special, producing many rare herbs, and with its excellent geographical location, this small village that was originally maintained by picking herbs has gradually developed into the most important distribution center for the herb trade in all of South America.

Phyllis took it and looked at it carefully, sniffed it closely, and said expressionlessly: "As far as I know, the firewood grass produced in Harran Town has a special fishy smell, not like this, exuding a faint tranquility. ”

After being exposed, Mr. Bokin's face did not change at all, and said: "Miss Kate, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, you should also know that firewood grass is difficult to preserve, and can only be picked and used in the current year, but this year, there is something wrong with the climate in Harlan Town, and the really good quality firewood grass has only produced more than 30 plants, and it was booked early, I really can't get it." ”

Phyllis closed the box and said, "Okay, how much?" ”

Mr. Bokin picked up the dirty linen rag again, and said tirelessly wiping the counter, "Originally, such a firewood grass would cost at least five thousand gold galleons, but I did not find the best woodgrass for you, and for my apologies, Miss Kate will give four thousand five hundred galleons." ”

Phyllis nodded, Mr. Borgin's asking price was fair, as far as she knew, this firewood grass would cost more than three thousand five hundred Galleons even in the place of origin, considering such a long distance, and this was still a forbidden herb, it was still acceptable for him to earn a thousand gross profit difference.

Phyllis put the box away, put it in her bag, and said, "Keep it on the books, have I sold some of the things I consigned?" Of course, Phyllis didn't buy this firewood grass for her own use, but for the little unicorn she raised, Dora. As a unicorn grows, it needs to absorb the energy in it by eating herbs to stimulate the power of its own bloodline. In the increasingly scarce resources now, it is not easy to find enough herbs, and some even need to be replaced, for example, it is recorded in the literature that Phyllis should be looking for the Phantom Scale Aquatic Grass, but the Phantom Scale Water Grass has long been extinct, and there is no way, so she has to find the Chai Lin Grass with similar medicinal effect to replace it. In order to get the herbs that Dora needs to grow, Phyllis is not only time-consuming and laborious, but more importantly, it costs money, and there are many rare species of herbs that Dora needs to eat, and it is good to be able to buy them, so don't think about negotiating the price. Last semester, Dora had bankrupted Phyllis, and there was no way, so Phyllis had to make some potions to consign. Phyllis's business is not bad, the real high-level potion formulas are not seen by ordinary people at all, and many of them are treasured by private individuals, monopolized in the hands of ancient families or powerful forces, and it is very troublesome to take a look. Fortunately, with the support of the seventh space, in the bookstore of the seventh space mall, you can find precious documents scattered in various worlds, and Phyllis has found some potion preparation notes in the wizarding world of Hogwarts, with these notes, Phyllis can barely be called a master of potion making. Of course, she only knows a lot of things, but she doesn't have a unique understanding of the deep principles inside, which means that she can only prepare according to the recipe in the notebook, and she can improve it to some extent, but it is almost impossible to create a new potion, so she can only be called "reluctantly" as a master.

Mr. Bojin took out an account book, looked at it and said, "I have sold a lot, let me see it...... A total of fourteen thousand three hundred Galleons were sold, and according to our previous agreement, Miss Kate should receive a total of ten thousand four hundred and forty Galleons, during which time you took from me five dead fungi, thirty-one grams of air-dried Merla aquatic plants, three Roscol mistletoe parasites, and today's blue woodwood grass, for a total of seventeen thousand and twenty Galleons, which means that you still owe five thousand five hundred and eighty Galleons. ”

Phyllis re-entered this mission world at the end of the last time, she has been here for a summer vacation, and the income of more than 10,000 gold gallons in more than two months is not small, but the problem is that Dora eats too much, too expensive. Bear with me, she will need to eat so many herbs in a while, Phyllis comforted herself in her heart, and said, "Okay, what sells better?" ”

Mr. Borgin closed the ledger and said, "The Starlight Red Potion sells the best, it sells out in a week." ”

Phyllis frowned and said, "As far as I know, that potion can only be used for anesthesia. ”

Mr. Borgin smiled eerily and said, "Miss Kate should also know that anesthetics can often be used as hallucinogens. ”

Phyllis's face was a little solemn, and she asked, "It won't cause any trouble, right?" "Hallucinogens, you know what they're used for when you hear the name, and I'm afraid no one will use this kind of thing to do good things when it spreads.

Mr. Borgin struggled to stand up straight, but his rickety back made his gesture look a little funny, and he said, "Rest assured Miss Kate, that I am not supported by the resale of contraband in such a magical shop in Tumbling Alley, and I do not lack the credibility of being a merchant." ”

Phyllis said, "I hope you can remember our previous agreement, and at this time, I will still put the new bottles of potions here and sell them on consignment." Phyllis took out a small cardboard box, placed it on the counter, and pushed it in front of Mr. Borgin.

Mr. Borgin opened it and saw that there were twelve crystal vials, which were very small, similar to perfume bottles, and contained less than ten liters of various liquids, and he took a general look at the carton and closed the lid of the cardboard box, and said, "Yes, please rest assured Miss Kate, these potions will definitely sell for a good price." ”

Phyllis said lightly, "I hope so." ”

Walking out of the Borgin-Burke magic shop, Phyllis was about to walk back when she suddenly felt a peeping gaze behind her, which made her uncomfortable. Phyllis looked back and saw only two dim, yellow-green eyes that vanished in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
