Chapter 25: Voyeurism
Squeak –
The wooden door opened, and there were torches in the darkness that kept lit, and soon the whole room was illuminated.
Two figures walked in from the outside, one in front of the other.
The figure at the front was a little hunched, and his greasy hair hadn't been washed for I don't know how long, tangled everywhere, condensing into a one-by-one appearance, like a snake body rolling in sewage, making people look indescribably disgusting.
At this time, with a flattering smile, he whispered something to the person behind him.
"We didn't do your request until June, and I bet it's definitely the perfect magic paraphernalia I've ever made!"
A black-robed figure walked in with Boginbock, and his whole body was shrouded in black robe except for his hands, and even the open hood was covered by a shadow, making it impossible to see what the black-robed man's face looked like.
This is a black robe specially used to hide his figure, the favorite of dark wizards, and Mu Yan also wore this one last time he came here.
Stopped at the door, the height of the black-robed man of about 1.7 meters looked about the same as last time, but the old and refined Bojin Bock could still see at a glance that the black-robed man who came this time was thinner than the last time, and his arms were longer, obviously not the same person.
And the mysterious guest didn't seem to hide the difference at all, and came to pick up the goods with a completely different accent than the last time, seemingly not at all worried that Boginbock would not recognize him because of his different voice.
But there is really no need to worry about this, the compound decoction, that strong stench can be recognized as soon as it is mixed in Tumbledown Alley, not to mention an old fritter like Bojin Bock, if you want to identify the method, he will write it out longer than the list of his purchases!
The room was a very different size from the outside, and it looked like a small storage room on the outside, but when you walked inside, you realized that it was almost large enough to fit into a Hogwarts classroom.
The room was empty, except for the torches on the walls and a few miscellaneous items scattered in the corners, except for a purple wooden table in the center of the room.
The wooden table is boxy, and the four legs are carved with patterns that are very different from those of European style, but it looks both mysterious and stable.
There was a small box on the top of the table, which looked like a first-aid kit that Mu Yan had seen before, with rounded corners and a handle on top that was easy to carry.
If it weren't for the dense patterns carved on the cold metal, Mu Yan would really think that it was a modern product, after all, the gap between the aesthetics of this box and the aesthetics of the wizards in this place is still too big.
"Is that what I want?" Mu Yan walked over and gently stroked the surface of the box, and a cold touch came from his fingers.
The answer to this question is obvious, such a large room, such a valuable table, just to put this box, of course this is the box he wants.
"Of course."
Bo Jin Bock followed behind Mu Yan, walking in small steps, like a servant following his master: "Use the long horn of the best Antarctic unicorn shark as a support, and build the inner wall ...... with the magical yin and yang wood of the East."
Regardless of whether Mu Yan understood it or not, he explained to Mu Yan softly, and when he talked about the inner structure, the flattery in his eyes had unconsciously brought a touch of pride and fanaticism.
After patiently listening to Boginbock's explanation, Mu Yan's hand was taken away from the box: "I need to test it!" ”
He turned his head to look at Boginbock, his voice so calm that he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied.
"Of course, that's your right!" Boginbock's face returned to his former flattering smile, and the leap from a powerful alchemist to a philistine shopkeeper was too familiar to him.
He snapped his fingers, and a trolley opened the door and slowly drove in from the door, filled with all kinds of test items...... Apparently, he had already thought about the situation!
But Mu Yan didn't move, he just glanced at the cart, shook his head gently, and took out a pocket from his black robe: "Let's use my own things!" ”
For today's test, he spent a lot of money to buy enough test supplies in all aspects, not that he couldn't trust Bokingbock, but this item was too important to him, and he had to confirm it in person, so that he could really rest assured.
His fingertips slid lightly over the cracks in the box, a softly whispered incantation coming out of his mouth, and the box slowly opened with the crisp sound of metal clashing......
……
Jingle bell~
The door of the Boginbock store was pushed open, and a black robe walked out of it, and the corners of the box loomed under the fluttering black robe.
"Welcome back to the Borgin Bock store!"
Boginbock waved his hand at the door, and the joy on his face was like that of an old man who had rejuvenated his second spring.
Having received the remaining 20,000 gold Galleons, he seemed to have seen the smooth development of several alchemy experiments that he had been stalling due to lack of funds.
Seeing Mu Yan, the big financier, gradually disappear, he turned around and walked into the store, and the flattering smile on his face gradually turned into a mystery.
He hurried through the dazzling shelves, and without stopping, he went straight to the storage room where the boxes had been placed.
Fingering the seemingly chaotic cracks of the wooden door, he knocked rhythmically, and when the wooden door opened again, a beautiful bedroom appeared in front of him, obviously no longer the room that Mu Yan entered with him at that time.
"Now, let me see who our mysterious guest is?" His smile at the moment is really a bit obscene with his image, but this alchemist who is also famous in the industry doesn't care at all.
He walked over to a round table in front of the bed and sat down, there was a crystal ball on the table, it looked very ordinary, this style of crystal ball not to mention here, you can find ten or eight when you walk into any grocery store in Diagon Alley.
But Boginbock knew that this was not any ordinary crystal ball, and that it was one of the few treasures he had collected over the years that even a master could not help but marvel at his creativity.
There is only one function of this crystal ball, and that is tracking!
It produces a unique imprint that, while not being able to be marked on a living body, can be marked on an object, and is extremely stealthy, mimicking properties similar to those of the marked object, so that even if it is swept by a psychic force, it will be mistaken for a part of the object.
The sight of the 10 meters around the marked object will be clearly presented inside the crystal ball.
Boginbock held the crystal ball in his hands, and his spiritual power poured in.
Although he had already made a very clear agreement with Mu Yan that he would not do anything on that box, it did not prevent him from leaving something on Mu Yan's black robe.
Even if there were several spells on that black robe to isolate prying eyes, as an alchemist and a powerful dark wizard, his understanding of this robe had far exceeded Mu Yan's imagination, and it was easy to insert a mark without knowing it.
As the owner of an alchemy shop that has been running for hundreds of years, Boginbock values the credibility of his shop, and this kind of thing observing the identity of customers behind his back has never happened before.
The reason why he broke the rules without hesitation this time was just because he was very curious about this mysterious high-roller who spent a lot of money, even if he lived for hundreds of years, it was the first time he had seen a high-roller like Mu Yan who threw out 40,000 gold gallons without frowning.
Well, it's just curiosity...... Of course, if it's a weak guy with no background, it won't prevent him from doing something shady...... After all, as a dark wizard, trampling on the rules is what he is most familiar with!
The picture inside the crystal ball gradually became clearer, and the black-robed man had already walked into a dark alley.
There are countless alleys like this, and Boginbock, who is already familiar with Tumbledown Alley like his own back garden, can tell at a glance that this is the alley next to Lilycam's bar.
"Come on...... Let me see your face......" He muttered in a low voice of excitement, gradually moving the perspective of the crystal ball from behind him.
Although the black-robed man's robe still wraps him tightly, there will always be a moment to take it off!
The footsteps of the black-robed man suddenly stopped!
Boginbock immediately held his breath and stopped.
"Discovered?"
He unconsciously slowed down his breathing, and stopped his perspective motionlessly on the upper left of the black-robed man.
There, only the motionless back of the black-robed man could be seen, and the box with a corner peeking out on the side.
"Damn, could it be that this old man doesn't die?"
As the black-robed man remained motionless for longer and longer, cold sweat began to slide down Bokingbock's face, and the premonition that the black-robed man had discovered his peep became stronger and stronger.
In his opinion, the only people who can detect the abnormality at the first moment of his peeping are the old guys who are about the same age as himself!
He continued to maintain his perspective motionlessly, and five minutes passed, and just when he couldn't help but was about to retract his spiritual power, the black-robed man in the picture finally took another step and continued to move forward.
The screen continues to move forward.
Whew-
He took a long breath, beads of sweat slid down the tip of his nose, and he suddenly felt a little proud in his heart: "You still want to cheat me!" I haven't seen any scenes! ”
He didn't brag about this, he even mixed up with the Death Eaters in order to study new dark arts, and the total number of human lives in his hands was at least five or six.
He estimated that the black-robed man had only noticed a little abnormality just now, and he was not sure, so he stopped and carefully examined it, of course, with the concealment of that mark, the man must have found nothing, so he regarded it as an illusion and continued to move forward.
"With such a high level of vigilance, it's a dark wizard who didn't run away...... Boginbock immediately judged Mu Yan, "and he's also an experienced veteran!" ”
He suddenly retreated in his heart, after all, he chose to peep, to be honest, just to bump into the other party's luck as a rookie who doesn't know anything, if the other party is an experienced old bird, he will definitely not give him a chance to do bad things.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was the vision around him getting darker and darker?
The light in the alley seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, and disappeared in just a few minutes!
But Boginbock knew that it was definitely not because the other party had stepped into the shadows, because the darkness around him was like a rolling fog, constantly surging through his vision!
It's a curse! The other party used some magic spell that he didn't know about in the time he didn't pay attention to just now, obscuring his vision!
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that under the isolation of these black fogs, the connection between the crystal ball and the black robe began to become intermittent!
This black fog also has the effect of isolating perception!
He moved his camera quickly, as if trying to find a place that had not yet been submerged in the black fog.
Finally, after several movements, an area that was much clearer than the rest of the world, despite the lack of light, appeared in his field of vision.
His face turned blue in an instant!
That's a hand!
A little hand that is a little young and immature!
In his hand, a middle finger is cocked, like a straight flagpole, facing the direction of his perspective!
As if sensing Boginbock's gaze, his middle finger shook contemptuously,
The next moment, the black mist drowned that hand, and the crystal ball was completely plunged into darkness......
