Chapter 121: Diagon Alley
What's the scariest thing?
The unknown is the scariest thing!
When the people in the Leaky Cauldron saw the figure of the comer, the suffocating depression in the bar disappeared in an instant.
A person, a young man, especially a young man with a warm smile and a curious look in his eyes. No matter how powerful he was, few people would be afraid until he showed his fierce momentum like a beast of the wilderness.
On the contrary, some bold people who buy drunk people will also have a good impression because of this. A trace of goodwill from a young man with strong strength but not arrogant attitude.
"Dear guest, how can I help you?"
Seeing that Qin Shao was born, it should be the first time to come, so the owner of the bar walked out from behind the counter and asked.
Qin Shao shook his head and responded, "I'm not here to drink." ”
It's not about drinking, that's what the Muggle world pub is about!
But for the Leaky Cauldron, it has another meaning – Diagon Alley!
"Honorable guests, please inside!"
The bar owner turned 180 degrees to the right, bowed and gave way to the back door of the bar behind him.
The back door is followed by a backyard with a wall behind the wall and diagon alley.
And that wall, one of the few ways to get in and out of Diagon Alley, is also the only entrance built by real people!
Qin Shao nodded slightly and stepped in. The bar owner in front of him was the first to reach the entrance, tapping his finger slowly against a few bricks on the wall.
Every wizard will be told how to enter and exit Diagon Alley when they first enter Diagon Alley. The bar owner didn't know that Qin Shao had actually mastered the steps to enter, so he slowly demonstrated it in front of Qin Shao.
Qin Shao didn't say anything, no matter what, the tavern owner was doing things according to the regulations, and he didn't do anything wrong, so he just revisited it.
Soon, after knocking on the masonry in five different locations in a row, the wall facing the back door in the backyard was like a Autobot deformation, and in a "click" sound, brick by brick folded up, revealing the world behind the wall.
A dazzling world of magical items, a shopping paradise for witches and wizards!
Although shamans never believed in God.
……
Diagon Alley, located on the outskirts of London, has been tricked by wizards working together to cast a layer of hidden magic in order not to be discovered by outsiders.
And because there are all the well-known shops in the wizarding world, the value is huge. In order to defend against ill-intentioned dark wizards, the shop owners brought in Aurors who specialize in dealing with Death Eaters, and laid a magical defensive barrier for the entire Diagon Alley!
In the years that followed, the shopkeepers successively invited a number of outstanding wizards in the wizarding world to superimpose defensive magic on this layer of defensive enchantment.
Over time, Diagon Alley has now accumulated ten layers of defensive barriers. If it weren't for the maximum stack cap of 100 stacks, that number would be even higher!
This makes Diagon Alley one of the most fortified places in the wizarding world in Europe!
Except for the entrance, which is only protected by a wall.
Diagon Alley's defense loopholes are not what Qin Shao cares about now, and Voldemort's re-advent is not what Qin Shao cares about now.
There is only one thing he cares about now: is the exchange rate of gold and gold coins of equal weight really two to one?
Why do you feel like you've been deceived by those goblins at Gringotts!
The big head is a good thing, it can add a lot of jokes to people, Qin Shao is an otaku, and he likes them very much.
But if you like it, if this big mistake falls on his head one day, he will definitely be very angry!
And it's the kind of rage!
But according to the current situation, he has a three-layer chance of being wronged, or the kind of person who is stupid and has a lot of money! Qin Shao felt that he might have to do something.
Walking out of Gringotts, Qin Shao looked around, only to see the crowd bustling, although it was not shoulder to shoulder, but it was also three steps to one person, five steps to two.
At first glance, I thought I had come to the imperial capital!
After thinking about it, Qin Shao immediately suddenly realized: Today is the last day of school for the three major magic schools in Europe, although you can buy things at any time, but in front of the four very tempting words "last day", the children still unconsciously choose to go out shopping on this day.
After all, when you get to school, you can't get out!
After sighing at the population of the imperial capital, Qin Shao searched everywhere. He didn't come out to see the head!
I remember that in the original book, Harry and Ron's family came to Diagon Alley on the last day of school. The elves couldn't be trusted, but Ron's father, who worked at the Ministry of Magic, could be trusted.
At least on this little matter!
But after searching back and forth twice, Qin Shao was depressed.
He saw two of them, an old man and a fat woman. Fu does not match the introduction of the Ron family in the book, just from this age and size, a discerning person can see at a glance that this is not a family!
At the same time, Qin Shao also found a problem that was not a problem: he hadn't seen the Ron family either!
But with red hair and two characteristics of a family, it doesn't matter if you recognize it or not. After all, in the world, it is rare to find people with red hair. And born red-haired, and it just so happens that the family is all wizards, there is no other family except for the "famous" Weasleys in the pure-blood family.
"Hmmm! This is? ”
When the search on the third side was about a quarter of the way through, Qin Shao suddenly saw a person.
And it was this person who made his eyes slam suddenly!
Messy waist-length blonde hair, godless eyes, weird autumn dress, and a sense of distance that doesn't fit in with the surroundings.
Luna Lovegood!
"The time was right, and the eleven-year-old really deserved to be in Diagon Alley. The description in the book is also correct, even in a crowded crowd, it can be noticed at a glance. What people wonder is, how did she appear here alone?! ”
If you have questions, ask them, and if you have doubts, try to find answers. At that moment, Qin Shao didn't look for Ron's family anymore, and walked in the direction of Luna.
"Are you here for me?"
Before Qin Shao could walk in, Luna's words came into his ears.
Luna's voice was light, crisp, and determined. While speaking, her eyes were staring at the void beside Qin Shao, as if she was in a trance. Qin Shao knew that she was talking to herself very seriously, and she was also waiting for her reply.
So, Qin Shao replied with a smile: "Yes, I have a question for you, I wonder if you can give me an answer?" ”
Luna happily asked, "Do you want to ask Tickoo?" ”
Tick Hook, a species that only exists in Luna's world, hides a person's shoes while they are sleeping, but it is actually someone else's prank, but she chooses to believe it for seven years.
"Tick Hook likes to play pranks the most, but I asked a different question, a question about Gringotts' gold and gold exchange, because I think they hid my gold like Tick Hook."
Hearing Qin Shao's acknowledgment of the existence of the Bug Hook, Luna's eyebrows bent down happily. Her eyes were still looking at the void, and two rows of small white teeth appeared in her mouth:
"Gringotts is the safest place for wizards to store their money and treasures, but the goblins inside are treacherous! Father said that they often played with words, which made the poor wizards suffer so much! ”
"Word play!"
A cold light flashed in Qin Shao's eyes, and the possibility of him being regarded as a wronged boss increased to eighty percent in an instant!
"I can't say, after today, this legend about Gringotts will be broken! Speaking of which, I've never actually slaughtered a dragon, even if it's just a fire-breathing lizard! Qin Shao said in a cold tone.
"This beautiful little Lori, tell me about their exchange ratio, let me see if I can get a dragon today as your entrance gift to Hogwarts!"
"How did you know I was going to Hogwarts?" Luna was a little skeptical, but still answered Qin Shao's question truthfully: "I remember my father said that the exchange ratio of gold to gold coins in Gringotts is usually two to one. However, if the gold is of high purity, the exchange rate will increase. And if the purity is higher, it can even reach ten to nine! ”
At this moment, Qin Shao seemed to hear the roar of the interrupted waves in the distant Fengyun World: "Door Master, those gold are melted little by little by the brothers of the Phantom World Gate under his command, 100% pure gold!" ”
At this moment, Qin Shao seemed to see the nine authentic Chinese characters made of pure gold in the sky above Gringotts, "People are stupid, those who have a lot of money, come in quickly".
It's like using his gold, made especially for him...... Chinese character!
At this moment, Qin Shao was furious!
"Little Luna, isn't the hook abominable?" Qin Shao lowered his head and asked in a cold voice.
Eleven-year-old little Luna waved her little fist vigorously, but her eyes looked at the void in front of Qin Shao blankly: "The hooks steal my shoes, they are the most hateful!" ”
"But......" After a moment's hesitation, Luna continued, "As hateful as the goggles are, it's not right to slap them to death with a book. They just stole my shoes, and I'm going to steal their shoes too! ”
For the first half of Luna's sentence, Qin Shao agreed very much. As for the second half of her sentence, Qin Shao only smiled slightly, but was noncommittal.
But in his heart, he thought, "If they don't resist, they can swallow twice as much and spit it out." If they don't know how to resist, then don't blame me for being ruthless and killing them with a book! ”
"But ......" Qin Shao glanced at Luna beside him, "There will be a fight for a while, but this little girl is a drag." But I don't feel at ease if I leave her here, that's a problem. ”
I don't know if the Heavenly Dao of the Harry Potter world heard Qin Shao's heart, just when Qin Shao had a headache about how to place Luna, a group of people he had been looking for for a long time but had no results actually broke into his eyes. Especially the bright red hair, the pure titanium alloy eyes that are simply dazzling in the sun!
"Weasleys, ...... you It's late! ”
