Chapter 230: Aftershow

"Huh?"

"He's there?"

There is only one person who can use the Distillery Marker to communicate and know Louie's real name, except for the Twins, Galen and other members of the Hogwarts Distillery.

It was the Dark Lord who was disguised by Mr. Borgin and hidden in Tumbledown Alley.

Grindelwald.

At this time, Grindelwald did not stay in Tumbledown Alley, but haunted the neighborhood, Louis was really a little surprised, and immediately helped Galen set up a tent, while using the winery marker to communicate:

"Mr. Grindelwald, I'm really on a vacation, yes, but this is just the camping spot we chose, what's the problem?"

"Nope."

Walking slowly into the forest behind the small lake in front of Louis, Grindelwald replied with a smile, "I mistakenly thought that you had also discovered that interesting thing, and deliberately stayed near this forest." ”

"Forest..."

Louis pondered for a few seconds and asked, "You mean to say... What's so peculiar about this forest? ”

"Yes."

As if guessing Louie's thoughts in an instant, Grindelwald nodded and continued to smile: "Louie, don't use magic to perceive, no matter how special the magic you hold, you can't detect the strangeness of this forest." ”

"You don't need to sense by magic... With what? ”

"Your eyes."

"Eyes?"

"Well, you have to use your eyes."

Walking near a tree, Grindelwald pulled off a piece of bark and pointed to the wonderful symbols carved inside: "If I hadn't been paying attention to those people for a few days, I probably wouldn't have imagined that someone had established a magic circle in this forest in such a strange way." ”

"Look at these characters without the slightest trace of magical use, Louie, what can you think of?"

"The Rune alphabet, a symbol of the ancient magic script."

Louis said firmly: "Or... It's an old magic that has been mastered by the birds. ”

"Old magic... Interesting name. ”

"But, Louie, only half of your answer is correct, and these characters seem to resemble the Rune alphabet, but they are not."

Grindelwald, a good teacher, explained:

"These characters are a branch of old magic, roughly similar to the Rune alphabet, and are often used in magic circles by those of the old rulers, but they are fundamentally different from the Rune alphabet, and their use is not the magic of a wizard, but the blood of a wizard is used as a medium."

"There are a total of twenty similar characters in this forest, which means that there are at least twenty wizards hidden here, understand?"

"Well, I see, thank you."

With Grindelwald's science popularization, and a general understanding of how this old magic was used, Louis nodded in thanks and turned to ask:

"That's... What attracted you here? ”

"It's boring."

"Bored?"

The corners of Louie's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: "Doesn't the chaos abroad attract you?" Or is it .... Have you played Dumbledore enough? ”

However, when Louis gave full play to his imagination and pondered what Grindelwald meant by boredom, Grindelwald said calmly:

"I have to say, Louie, you have a very good eye, I always thought that Lucius of the Malfoy family was an idiot, but I didn't expect him to be able to run Tumbledown Alley well."

"Now that Tumbledown Alley has a perfect order under his management, many wizards' first choice for buying items has shifted from Diagon Alley to Tumbledown Alley, because of this incident... Fudge complained to me a lot! ”

The topic suddenly led to the "wise" Minister of Magic, and Louis couldn't help but sneer a few times, not minding him that whenever he reached out to Tumbledown Alley, he would directly cut off the hand he stretched out.

You must know that under the management and constraints of Lucius Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe, the life of Tumbledown Alley is becoming more and more popular, and it is inevitable that it will crush Diagon Alley a little.

After all...

The supply that can be purchased in Tumbledown Alley is much more than Diagon Alley from the beginning.

In the past, more people were willing to buy goods in Diagon Alley, and the root cause of the problem was obviously the order of Tumbledown Alley.

For most wizards living in the British wizarding world, the former Tumbledown Alley is a place outside the law, lacking constraints, and the goods that cost Galleon to buy from the shop a second ago may be snatched away by the rest of the wizards just after going out, and they may have to take their lives before being robbed.

Looking at Louie's reformulation of the rules in Tumbledown Alley, although there are still some dark wizards who like to play side balls and take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, the overall atmosphere of Tumbledown Alley has been completely changed, and the clean streets alone are pleasing to the eye.

But just like Louis imagined, everyone knows what the disadvantages of Tumble Alley are in the past, that is, they lack the courage to make changes for it.

Now, I suddenly found that Tumbledown Alley is a place to make money, and you, Connelly Fudge, who has never contributed half of his efforts to the reform of Tumbledown Alley, are delusional about using the power of the Ministry of Magic to come and pick peaches?

Bah!

White dreams!

It's just that when Louis was thinking about knocking Cornelius Fudge for the matter of Tumbling Alley, and by the way, knocking and knocking on the group of pure-blood wizard families who were interested in making money, he didn't fall into Grindelwald's trap of changing the topic, and replied lightly: "Tumbledown Alley is my property, if Fudge is really interested... Mr. Grindelwald, I can talk to him face to face. ”

"Besides, I'm curious, who is the wizard who makes you interesting?"

"They're not people." Grindelwald smiled meaningfully.

"Not human?"

Louis raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Is it a werewolf wizard?" ”

"You'll find out for yourself when you have time!"

Knowing what Louie's character was, Grindelwald deliberately sold a pass, made an appointment with him and said: "At ten o'clock tonight, I will personally break the magic array in this forest, Louie, if you are interested, accompany me for a spin!" ”

"It's like..."

"Vacation after-show!"

Let's talk about it.

Grindelwald's shadow vanished into the forest, cutting off contact with Louis using the distillery mark.

Meanwhile.

George, Fred, and Kevin, who were originally discussing a night adventure in the forest, were also looking for a guarantee for their expedition.

Who is the one of them who can keep them safe?

It has to be Louie!

Therefore, when George Fred tried his best to convince Kevin, the youngest explorer came up to Louis with a smile on his face and said in a low voice:

"Louie, we have made an appointment to sneak out at ten o'clock tonight and go on an adventure in the forest behind the small lake, would you like to join us?"

"Let's talk about it first!"

"Whether you agree with it or not, this matter must be... Don't tell mom and dad that the grown-ups know! ”

"Otherwise, our adventure plans will be in vain!"
