Chapter 14 Shopping
"How? Isn't that great! Just like when Baptiste made his first pair of glasses, sharing what he had achieved with his like-minded friends was a favorite of these inventors, and Bernard was no exception.
It's just that unlike what he imagined, Jonathan and Jaquina were not as excited as he thought at all, but were very serious about looking for something in him. After thinking about it carefully, Bernard cleared his throat and said.
"You guys haven't made it yet, let's see how my glasses are!"
As soon as Bernard said that his alchemy item had not yet been made, Jonathan and Jaquina turned their heads in unison and continued with their original business.
Seeing this, Bernard, who originally wanted to tease them, looked helpless and said loudly: "Hey, I've worked hard for a long time, and you're like this?!" As he spoke, Bernard shook his hand, and he didn't know when there were two more things in his empty hand.
This time, Jonathan and Jaquina reacted much more violently, and the two of them took Bernard's possession with lightning speed, a brooch and a necklace, both of which were based on the ordinary ornaments that Jonathan and Jaquina now wore on their bodies.
Bernard made two identical pieces of them, so that even wizards who knew their brother and sister well could not have imagined that the two ordinary ornaments would change so much.
After the excitement of the two people passed, Bernard continued to speak: "These are all protective spells, activated by stress, except for the Avada Suo Life Spell, other spells can be resisted, but pay attention, the problem of the upper limit of magic power!" ”
Although the Jonathan siblings are a little weaker, they can be regarded as family education, seeing that the two of them nodded with a clear face, Bernard did not bother to explain more, but changed the topic, "How did you think about what I told you that day?" If I can, I'm going to talk to him today! ”
Hearing Bernard bring up the old matter again, Jonathan and Jaquina glanced at each other, and then Jonathan said awkwardly: "Well, we think that if it's really like you said, well, it's not bad to bring another person in, after all, I and the borrower's strength are not very good." ”
After speaking, Jonathan lowered his head a little embarrassed, and Jaquina on the side also pretended to look at the scenery, turning her head to look out the window. Feeling the helplessness of the brother and sister, Bernard comforted softly: "Jonathan, the level of magic is not the most important, the key is to have a brave heart. And, seriously, you and Jaquina are really talented at spells. ”
Bernard's previous nonsense about the level of magic was purely to comfort the Jonathan siblings, except for Dumbledore, who was strong and held the Elder Wand, magic was very important to every wizard, but unfortunately, this was determined by talent, or rather, according to Bernard's theory, it was determined by the soul.
In this regard, unless Bernard can one day solve his soul troubles, there is no other way in this world to harmlessly improve a wizard's magic power except for those lost methods.
However, although the previous words are all nonsense, Bernard's last sentence is indeed sincere, although the brothers and sisters Jonathan and Jaquina did not inherit Mr. Carter's strong strength, but his superb talent for magic was perfectly inherited by the brothers and sisters.
As far as Bernard knew, Jonathan and Jaquina had written a lot about the theory of charms, and had created a lot of useful family spells, so their talent for charms was really high, but unfortunately, due to their magical powers, they could not achieve more, and Bernard also deeply regretted this.
Without continuing the previous topic, since the consent of the brother and sister had been obtained, then the next step could be continued, thinking so, Bernard took out a bottle of "Polyjuice Potion" from his pocket and handed it to Jonathan, handed him a look that you know, and then turned and left.
……
Bernard and his party walked on the old streets, Jonathan is nothing, but Jaquina who has changed her dress is much more excited, for the sake of safety these days, Jonathan and Jaquina have not come out to activities, Jonathan is born not to move, but Jaquina, who is from an archaeological background, and Jaquina who runs around every day really can't stand this kind of life.
No, as soon as he came out, he ran through the streets like a loose husky, which gave Bernard a headache.
Taking the brother and sister around, Bernard stood still in front of an inconspicuous store, looked at the three skulls hanging in front of the door, and silently pushed the door and walked in.
In Egypt, because of the indigenous witchcraft in Africa, the Ministry of Magic has a much higher tolerance for dark magic and witchcraft than the Ministries of Magic in other countries, especially the British Ministry of Magic, so unlike the United Kingdom, in addition to a Diagon Alley, there is also a Tumbledown Alley that serves the dark world.
But again, such a tolerant attitude has led to a confusion of goods in the Egyptian market, and if you want to find good things in it, it depends on whether you have the vision and the way. It's like the three skulls that hung in front of the store just now, and ordinary people may think it's scary when they see it, or that the shopkeeper is not a good person.
But only knowledgeable wizards know that the three skulls represent a very notorious sect, and in normal times, Bernard would not want to deal with them, but since this matter involves the "Black Book of the Dead", then he has to come to them.
The cramped aisle was filled with strange bottles and cans, and the skulls of wild beasts hung all over the walls, but as if they hadn't seen it, the three of Bernard walked to the end of the aisle without squinting, and when they turned a corner, they could see that in a small room, an old man with a blue face wrapped in a turban, was intoxicated and sucking something.
Quietly applied a "bubble head charm" to the three of them, you know, these African witch doctors' herbs are very weird, Bernard did not dare to let strange things into his lungs, it is said that there was an American wizard curiously smelled a witch doctor was boiling the potion, and then the whole lung of the name was eaten clean by unknown small insects.
Protective measures were prepared, and Bernard's deep voice came: "Old Herb, it's time to do business!" ”
The old wizard who had closed his eyes opened his eyes and looked at Bernard, "Ah......" As soon as she saw the old wizard's eyes, Jaquina accidentally screamed, fortunately Jonathan on the side was quick-eyed, otherwise this meeting would be very embarrassing.
"Little girl, don't you know who I am? I thought you knew. As she spoke, the old wizard's snake-eyed eye on the left side was still rolling to look at Jaquina, and she was so frightened that she desperately hid behind her brother's back.
Frowning, Bernard took a step forward and blocked the old wizard's view, "Herb, is this your attitude when business comes to the door?" ”
"Heh, business? What do you want? The old wizard asked nonchalantly.
"I want a skull that is unique to you." With that, Bernard stepped forward and put down a key, and then retreated calmly, watching the old wizard in front of him take the key and rummage there.
Although Bernard, who had retired, looked calm on the surface, he had already set off an uproar in his heart, although he had long known that their sect had strange means of manipulating souls, but what Dumb suddenly said just now still overturned Bernard's understanding, as if he had opened a new chapter in the wizarding world.
Although there were already waves in his heart, Bernard still calmly accepted the package handed by the old wizard, and then silently led Jonathan and them out the door.
