Chapter 399: Tumbling Alley
Walking out of the clothing store with a flash, Wang Xu looked at his watch, it was now more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
Two hours later, around seven o'clock in the evening, after getting the clothes, I was able to catch back to Hogwarts for dinner.
"Master, you are too good to Twinkle, Twinkle will definitely work harder." Walking out of the store, Shining clasped his hands to his chest, and was so moved that he was about to cry.
Since she was a child, no one has ever treated her so well, and these two clothes worth thousands of Galleons are also unimaginable in the elf world.
Pixies are a collective term for a group of people, and they also have contrasts with each other.
Twinkle can swear that she is definitely the luckiest one, because Aunt Cai Li, who likes to show off the most, is the most faintly proud honor in this life, and it is only that the owner gave it an unwanted brooch.
And she, will get so expensive, so luxurious clothes.
It was an enchanted robe, and even the patriarchs of those pure-blood families were reluctant to wear the robes to go out on weekdays, and only wore them as a dress for parties.
"Okay, wipe away your tears, I don't need you to flatter me, I just hope that one day when you plan to betray, you can think of today's tears." Wang Xu glanced at her and took the lead in taking precautions.
When Twinkle heard this, she quickly swore that she would always be loyal in an attempt to show her heart.
Wang Xu just smiled at this, the wind knows the grass, the board knows the loyalty, and the empty vernacular can't be counted.
Twilight may be loyal now, but there's no telling what will happen in the future.
When Zhao Kuangyin was a guard for Lao Chai's family in the Forbidden Palace, he definitely never thought that he would launch the Chen Qiao Mutiny, let alone sit on the dragon chair.
People are changing, Wang Xu can only ensure that he is kind and powerful, it will rain, and his mother will marry, so there is no way, he can't give up food because of choking.
With a somewhat frightened flash, Wang Xu did not return to Hogwarts, but went to the Three Broomsticks Bar.
He'd heard that Professor Slughorn liked to come here when he was fine, so he could ask him about Lucky Water.
Bell bell bell ...
Push open the door, bringing a crisp brass bell.
Wang Xu looked inside, the three broom bars were not large, but the business was very hot.
Some wizards who live in Hogsmeade Village like to come over for a drink or two when they have nothing to do, and some students above the third grade can also go out for a stroll when they are not in class, and drink a glass of butterbeer when they are tired, which is the greatest enjoyment of these people.
"I have an old fellow who lives on the snowy mountain of Clarkby, and he has a magic sleigh pulled by two reindeer. Every Christmas, he likes to dress up as Santa Claus, give gifts to the children down the mountain, and perform some magic tricks, and the children love him. ”
Looking inside the bar, Wang Xu quickly found Slughorn sitting in front of the bar, chatting and laughing with people.
"Professor Slughorn, I didn't expect you to be here!" With a smile on his face, Wang Xu took the initiative to walk up as if he had met by accident.
Slughorn looked back and found that it was Wang Xu, so he raised his glass enthusiastically and said, "Professor Wang, do you want to have a drink?" Today I have a treat, and you can drink butterbeer! ”
"That's great." Wang Xu pulled out a chair and sat next to Slughorn and asked the bartender for a butterbeer.
Butterbeer has the word beer, but it is not a beer and does not contain alcohol, but a creamy soda.
Of course, you like to drink oily butterbeer, but add some whiskey appropriately, but usually the butterbeer you order will not add these things to you, so in Harry Potter, Harry and Ron can only drink it.
Otherwise, abroad, especially in the United Kingdom, minors are forbidden to drink alcohol, and Harry is obviously not eighteen years old, and it is impossible for him to drink alcohol in the movie for the sake of public image, which is instigating minors to commit crimes.
"Sir, your butterbeer."
The bartender quickly brought the butterbeer over, and Wang Xu took a sip of it, the taste was very unique, but the taste was very good, and it also had a bit of lemon flavor.
After drinking half a glass in one go, Wang Xu put down the wine glass, wiped the cream foam from the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Professor Slughorn, I heard that you are a master of potions, especially good at making lucky water. I take the liberty of asking, can I buy a few bottles of Lucky Water from you, the number doesn't need to be too much, there are only three or five bottles, I want to take it back and test it, to see how lucky the Lucky Water is. ”
"This..."
Slughorn grimaced, explaining, "I have some Lucky Water in my hands, but I have a contract with a potions shop, and the Lucky Water I make can only be supplied to the store and cannot be sold to others for a profit. If you only need a bottle, I can give it to you as a gift between friends, but you want too much for me to help you. ”
"What kind of store is that, I can go to the store and buy it, the price is not a problem." Wang Xu doesn't care, as long as there is a place to buy it.
Slughorn smiled bitterly twice, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Tumbledown Alley, Edward's Potions Shop." ”
"Tumbledown Alley?" Wang Xu was a little surprised, no wonder Slughorn kept his voice low when he spoke, because Tumbledown Alley was different from Diagon Alley, where the Dark Wizard was entrenched.
Now that Voldemort has made a comeback and the wizarding world is in a Great Depression, the regular stores in Diagon Alley are closing their doors nine times out of ten.
On the other hand, Tumbledown Alley, where the Dark Wizards are entrenched, is doing a thriving business, and most of them are dark wizards who support Voldemort, and the more Voldemort is louder, the more they dance.
"In the store I worked with before, the owner and his family ran away to Belgium, so I had to find a new partner." Slughorn raised his glass and took a sip to defend himself, "I don't want to serve the dark wizard either, but I have a large family to support, and life is always a bit helpless, isn't it?" ”
"I understand your hardships very well, cheers for life!" Wang Xu picked up the cup and touched it with Slughorn, put the butterbeer to his lips and drank it all.
The rest of the conversation was much more enjoyable, Wang Xu asked Slughorn some questions about potions, and Slughorn's answer corrected some of his mistakes.
Wang Xu previously believed that it was not necessary for a wizard to refine potions, because many potions themselves had magical powers, and when they were combined, they had an effect similar to a chemical reaction.
But Slughorn told him that this idea only applies to low-level potions, and in high-level potions, many potions require the use of wands in the refining process, and it is impossible to do without a wand, and it is very dangerous.
Time slipped through the conversation, and two hours passed quickly.
Wang Xu looked at his watch, put down the cup and stood up, and said, "Professor Slughorn, it was a pleasure to talk with you, but I ordered clothes at the clothing store, and it's time to pick them up." ”
"Feel free to do so, I come here every day for a drink, trying to find out if I'm not in the classroom or here." Slughorn had drunk a lot, and he wasn't just a butterbeer, he was already drunk.
Wang Xu called Flashing and left the Three Broomsticks Bar and went straight to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
When I arrived at the store, the clothes made for Sparkle were ready, and after settling the accounts, two clothes and two pairs of shoes, a total of 3,600 Galleons.
Wang Xu took out the gold Galleons exchanged for gold at Gringotts and paid the bill happily, causing the fat lady to ask him again and again if he wanted to order two wizard robes for himself.
In this regard, Wang Xu refused with a smile, the clothing on his body came from the black super special police world, and it itself was made of nanostructure, which was enough to resist small and medium-caliber rifles when worn on his body.
Unless the fat lady's enchantment technology can enchant the armor talisman on the clothes, the so-called wizard robe is dispensable to Wang Xu except for its own cleaning function.
And it is a well-known fact that the more powerful the magic, the more difficult it is to enchant.
Aside from the ancient artifacts he had inherited, he hadn't heard of a contemporary master of enchanters who could bless items with defensive spells.
"Twilight, can you take someone to use Phantom Shifting?"
Looking at the shining after changing into new clothes and following behind him, Wang Xu suddenly didn't want to go back to Hogwarts.
Shining accepted the clothes, which meant accepting Wang Xu as the master, and nodded again and again: "I can do it." ”
Hearing such an answer, Wang Xu looked up at the sky that was about to darken, and whispered, "Take me to Tumble Alley." ”
"Yes, my lord..."
