Chapter 688: How to solve the problem
Skirting the bar of the bar, Hermione pushed open the small door and entered a walled patio.
There wasn't much else in it except a couple of trash cans and a few weeds.
Babbling the contents of the letter, Hermione began to count them on the wall.
"Count the bricks on the dustbin three upwards and two horizontally, and ...... them with your wand."
Speaking of this, Hermione was stunned and turned her head to look at Zhao Yu next to her, because she didn't have a wand at all.
So the question is, how can you open the passage to Diagon Alley without a wand?
As is usually the case, the other freshmen are looking for help from the wizard in the bar.
But Hermione, who had just walked in like a proud peacock, was now disgraced and ran out to ask for the help of those she despised was unacceptable to her.
Facing Hermione's gaze for help, Zhao Yu said lightly with an elegant smile on his face.
"There is a saying in the world where I lived - there is no problem that cannot be solved by one fireball, if there is, then two!"
"Caster, what do you mean?"
"I guess you've got it, haven't you?"
"Hmm!"
Nodding vigorously, Hermione felt a little excited in her heart, took two steps back, and then looked at the wall in front of her with a solemn face.
"Fireball!"
The crimson fireball slammed into the wall under Hermione's control, and the scorching tongue of fire instantly spread, licking the entire wall before dissipating.
However, although the temperature of the fireball technique was very high, starting at at least 500 degrees Celsius, it was clear that these brick walls were not afraid of flames, unless they burned for a long time.
Shooting in front of Caster but still to no avail, Hermione felt very embarrassed, and couldn't help but be angry.
So the little hand stretched forward, her face froze, and then she shouted coquettishly: "Fire snake technique! β
The flow of magic in Hermione's body triggered the magic seed, activated the formation above, and then the aura between heaven and earth was induced.
In an instant, a crimson fiery snake appeared in the air.
Hermione had just come into contact with the Fire Serpent Technique, and her control was not high enough, and the Fire Serpent only looked like a rough shape, hovering in the air and floating like a band of fire.
As Hermione's mind moved, the fiery serpent slammed into the wall in front of her.
"Boom!"
A powerful force erupted, and the crimson fiery snake smashed the wall open in an instant.
With a loud noise, the masonry shattered and flew in all directions, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust, revealing a passageway.
Hermione walked through the flames in the midst of the smoke and dust, and finally appeared in front of a group of bewildered wizards in Diagon Alley.
Compared to the wizards in the bar, the wizards in Diagon Alley still look a little raunchy, but some of them pay more attention to their appearance.
Coupled with the magical and bustling scene around her, the buildings with strange lines and serious violations of Newtonian mechanics, made Hermione feel that this place was not bad.
It's just that...... The wizards looked at her with strange eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The brow frowned slightly, Hermione didn't intend to care about these people, and prepared to leave here.
But soon someone stopped her and looked at her with an unkind face.
"Did you break that wall?"
Seeing a few adults menacing, Hermione subconsciously panicked and looked at the empty place next to her.
Soon she nodded imperceptibly, her hands on her waist, and her face was full of unreasonable and strong looks.
"Nonsense, how can you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air, which of your eyes saw me do something to the wall, I just wanted to come in, who knew that the wall suddenly exploded on its own, what does this have to do with me as a new Hogwarts student?"
"I tell you, don't think that you can rely on the old and sell the old when you're old, and use the power to bully others, I think this wall was broken by you, and you're afraid of being held accountable by the Ministry of Magic, so you pushed it on me, right?"
"But you don't want to think about how I, a new Hogwarts student from a Muggle family, didn't even have a wand, how could I break that wall? Such a lie is really ridiculous, such a shirk is really despicable, you don't deserve to be a wizard at all! β
Hermione spoke righteously, her face was serious, and the other people next to her felt very reasonable when they heard her blind analysis.
So everyone turned their attention to the wizards who had stood up to make Hermione difficult, their faces full of suspicion.
"We don't have ......"
"We won't ......"
"It's not us ......"
The wizards hurriedly shook their heads and denied that they had never read since they were children, and they simply did not have strong enough logical words to refute what Hermione had just said.
After all, those words make a lot of sense.
Hermione snorted proudly at this, and strode away, she didn't have time to dwell on these unhygienic people here.
β¦β¦
If you want to buy something, you first have to go to Gringotts to exchange gold Galleons, and they have a service to exchange pounds for gold galleons.
Before Hermione left the house, she had prepared the corresponding pounds according to the accounting list on the acceptance letter.
Just after looking at the group of short, ugly, and bad-natured so-called "goblins" who faced themselves with impatience all the time, Hermione's mood became bad.
She felt that the so-called wizarding world was really terrible, completely destroying her illusions in the first place.
First those wizards were not noble and elegant, but unkempt, and then these goblins were not good-looking, and she really didn't know where else they looked like goblins except for pointed ears.
The main thing is that these guys are stingy and rude and do not know how to be polite at all.
Although Hermione became bad because of those bewitching feelings, she didn't say much, and left angrily after getting her gold gallons.
And as she walked around Diagon Alley, her mood improved.
Because there are a lot of things in Diagon Alley that look really interesting, and it's a lot more interesting than the normal human world.
Although Hermione bought a lot of things along the way, she always had nothing left empty in her hands.
Because as a caster, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has mastered space-related magic, and can install all items into another dimension.
Just as Hermione was walking around Diagon Alley with an excited face, she suddenly noticed a corner that was different.
The place looked a little dimly lit, and the wizards who came and went looked mysterious, covered in black robes.
"Caster, let's go there!"
After saying to Zhao Yu next to her, Hermione walked towards the entrance that looked a little strange.
Seeing that her little girl had run here, the other wizards were a little strange, but at the same time, they also showed a sad smile on their faces, and they didn't look like good people.
Hermione shrank back, but thinking that Zhao Yu was next to her, she didn't care too much.
As Hermione walked to the dimly lit entrance, she noticed a small black sign next to it with the name of the place.
"Tumbledown Alley?"
Hermione whispered, then strode inside, like an ignorant little sheep that had broken into the wolves to outsiders.
Compared to Diagon Alley, which is prosperous and beautiful and full of people outside, it looks much worse inside Tumbledown Alley.
The wizards were all wrapped in themselves, walking sneakily and talking very quietly, as if discussing some unseemly secret matter.
And the shops on the street sell strange things, terrifying spiders, ugly toads, colorful poisonous snakes, and some strange creatures that can't be named.
But it all sums up in one word, ugly!
Of course, in addition to the strange creatures, there are also some magic items that look weird and are not a good thing.
Hermione looked around curiously, she didn't buy anything along the way, and finally stopped in front of a pet store.
"Ahem...... Little girl, ahem...... What do you want to buy? Ahem......"
A rickety, wrinkled old man in a black floor-sweeping robe stepped out of the dark corner of the store.
Coughing while talking, like a worn-out bellows, ready to fall apart at any moment.
Hermione was no longer surprised by the way, just looking at the critter in a cage next to her.
It was a black kitten, and it looked like it was two palms long, and it was still Hermione's tiny palm.
The hair is soft and black, and the two blue-green eyes are like gems, and the slender body looks elegant and vigorous.
"Meow~"
Facing Hermione's gaze, the black cat let out a flattering snort and leaned its head over.
Hermione smiled and scratched her finger at the black cat's head.
And the cat also kept rubbing Hermione's hand through the cage, looking very tame and cute.
"How much?"
"Ahem...... the boss coughed twice, then stretched out his dry palm, "Five gold gallons, you can take her home!" β
"What?"
Hermione was a little surprised, not because it was too expensive, but because it was too cheap, and she thought it would cost a dozen gold gallons at first!
After all, the owls I saw in Diagon Alley before were almost at this price, but I didn't expect the cats to be so cheap.
But it's right to think about it, after all, owls are not only kept as pets, but also the most important channel for transmitting information in the wizarding world, just like mobile phones in modern society.
And the owl can not only deliver messages, but also work part-time as a courier.
So Hermione said very cheerfully, "Okay, I want this cat!" β
"Guest, you have a lot of vision, ahem......"
The old man's thin face showed a smile, and the yellow-black teeth in his mouth looked like he hadn't brushed his teeth for decades.
The shopkeeper opened the cage, and the cat, not afraid of life, jumped on Hermione's shoulder and rubbed her face affectionately.
With a happy smile on her face, Hermione reached out and took five gold Galleons from her coat pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper.
However, the shopkeeper, who was still smiling just now, suddenly changed his face, and his cloudy eyes revealed a faint cold light.
"Little girl, what do you mean by that?"
"Huh? What does that mean? Hermione winked in confusion.
"I made it clear just now, this cat costs fifty gold Galleons, and you give me five now, is it because my old man is easy to bully? Fifty gold Galleons, hurry up and hand it over, if one is missing, don't even think about walking out of this store today! β
The shopkeeper snapped, taking out a wand and slamming the door shut.
Hermione was startled, and her body shuddered before she subconsciously took two steps back.
"You...... You were talking about five gold galleons, why is it fifty now? β
"Huh...... Although I am old, I am not old and confused, can fifty be said to be five? How can you, little girl, come with your mouth open and talk nonsense? Well, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and hand over the money! β
The shopkeeper spoke loudly as he walked towards Hermione, and when he got in front of Hermione, he stretched out his withered claws and grabbed Hermione's arm.
"Yikes! Don't touch me! Hermione was startled and quickly stepped back.
However, the shopkeeper didn't care at all, and continued to approach her, with a sad smile on his face.
"Hey...... Little girl, hand over the money! β
Asking for help, she glanced at Zhao Yu next to her, Hermione's eyes were full of panic, she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
Facing Hermione's helpless eyes, the expression on Zhao Yu's face did not change for a minute, and he said quietly.
"This, too, is a problem!"
"Questions?"
Hermione was a little puzzled, but soon she remembered what Zhao Yu said before.
There's no problem that can't be solved with one fireball, and if there is, then two!
But just now it was against a wall, and now there was a person standing in front of her, and the two were completely different.
Hermione hesitated, but the shopkeeper didn't give her much time and lunged at her.
At this moment, the black cat on Hermione's shoulder suddenly arched its back and exploded.
"Meowβ"
With a shrill cry, the black cat suddenly pounced on the shopkeeper and stretched out its claws to grab him in the face.
However, although the other party looked too old, his movements were quite flexible, and the wand in his hand was aimed at the black cat with a twist.
"Flashing missiles!"
The wand flickered intermittently, and a ball of magic shot towards the black cat, which then bounced off and fell to the ground unable to move.
"It's really a guy who eats inside and out, and before he sells it, he starts to deal with me, looking for death!"
The shopkeeper said in a hoarse voice, and then the black cat, who didn't care about trying to get up on the ground but didn't have the strength, turned his gaze to Hermione.
Hermione looked at the black cat lying on the ground next to her, and was anxious to pick it up, but the shopkeeper had already attacked her.
As for the caster, he was floating next to him at this time, and it seemed that he had no intention of making a move at all.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Hermione could only make up her mind, raised her right hand and shouted.
"Burst Fireball!"
The Fireball is an advanced form of fireball magic that, in addition to its extremely high temperature, can also produce a violent explosion after hitting an object.
The fireball took shape almost instantaneously, and with a whoosh, it flew out of front of Hermione and headed for the shopkeeper.
After all, he was a dark wizard and experienced in combat, even if he was shocked by Hermione's wandless spell, he still reacted quickly.
"Fire and water are invulnerable!"
"Clear water is like a spring!"
The two spells were pronounced, the wand in his hand was waved, and in an instant, the other party completed two spells.
One blesses oneself to avoid the damage of the flames, and the other condenses clear water to prepare to extinguish the flames.
Unfortunately, the Pyrotechnic Fireball isn't just about flames, it also explodes.
So the moment it came into contact with the clear water that appeared out of thin air, the fireball the size of a human head exploded.
