Chapter 4: Whispers Behind the Bookshelf

"Some of the young people who came here were introduced, and although I don't know who introduced you, since you know that there are forbidden books for sale here, you have to pick one and leave. That's the rule here. The old man said that this is also one of the ways to prevent the accusation. In fact, he wasn't afraid of the Ministry of Magic, he just didn't want to get into trouble.

"You get the main quest: Academy."

"Brief Mission: Use all the means you can think of to infiltrate the Hogwarts school you've always wanted to see, provided you get in alive. Maybe the Tree Spirit guarding the door will kill you. ”

"Mission Description: As prompted above, you have to do your best. If you want to be stronger, you can't get stronger if you dodge trouble, especially in the wizarding world. ”

"Quest Tip: The Forbidden Forest in the Academy is also a good choice, as long as you're careful."

"Task tip: Don't be found by students or teachers, if you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Mission Hint: You will have 2 days to complete this quest."

"Bonus note: the closer you get to the center of the academy, the greater the rewards you will receive for completing them."

Zhao Qian quietly followed behind the gray-haired old man in front of him.

It's the end.

He looked at the row of wooden bookshelves in front of him, which was much larger than he had imagined, though he had somewhat guessed that the buildings of the wizarding world were not in the same spatial structure inside and out.

The old man took out a wand and tapped it, and the bookshelf full of all kinds of commonly used books slowly opened like a door that had been pushed open.

There is no dust or cobwebs from the surface as expected, and it is very clean. It's a little unbelievable how clean it is.

He's only one here. Looks like the magician has a dusting technique.

Zhao Qian looked curiously at the old man in front of him who had carefully withdrawn the wand in his hand, and did not have any other expression.

"This way, please."

The old man walked in, and his steps were not very big. Where he passed, on the bookshelves that were originally a little dark, some light source suddenly turned on. One by one. The brightness of the light is not much worse than that of energy-saving lamps in the real world.

He followed, and the two stopped at a bookshelf that looked a little less than the books on the shelf next to them.

"That's all."

He pointed to the few books on the top, looked at Zhao Qian's expression on the side, and motioned for him to choose to take a look.

He casually reached out and took a copy of "The Analysis of the Magic Circuit", and a prompt immediately came from the ticket.

"The Analysis of the Magic Circuit"

Author: Adebay? Wolflin

Item Rarity: Dark blue.

Readers: Must be proficient in "Theory of Magic" and "History of Magic"

Learner conditions: no less than 12 points in wisdom and no less than 15 points in spirit.

"Hint: Travelers can only learn this book by three people after they have it."

"Hint: You don't own the book, and you can't take it out of the world."

"This 100 silver sike (the currency unit of the wizarding world in Harry Potter, 1 gold galleon = 17 silver sike = 5 pounds = 52.58 yuan, 1 silver sike = 29 copper nat), and it is more expensive on the black market."

The old man said without blinking. His offer made Zhao Qian subconsciously put the books in his hand back on the shelf.

Can't afford it. He weighed the few pounds he had left in his pocket, the station had always been a little stingy with money for passengers.

He took a few other books from the shelves. Hearing the price coming out of the old man's mouth, he even had the heart to kill the guy in front of him and take the book. But thinking of the skillful wand he had just made, he had to admit it.

"If it's a few pounds, I can consider it, because I don't have a lot of money."

Zhao Qian said cleanly, although the few books on the bookshelf made him covetous, and there were even silver plot rarities among them, but he still recognized the situation.

Even if you buy it yourself, you may not be able to use it.

"If that's the case, please come over here."

The old man didn't show any surprise, this kind of thing he had encountered in the years he had run this bookstore.

Obviously, he already had a plan for it.

Zhao Qian walked after him, and after passing by the tall wooden bookshelves, he stopped in front of a fairly neat pile of books.

That's right, it's the pile of books.

The stacks of books were placed on the ground in the order of the largest on the ground and the largest on the top, in stark contrast to the bookshelves they had just walked by. It's like those useless scrap books that are about to be disposed of in real-world bookstores.

"This is it, sir. We all sell these books for 4 silver sicos (about £1 plus) each. ”

As he spoke, he motioned to Zhao Qian to pick and choose at will.

Zhao Qian stood in front of these piles of books and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He glanced at the titles of the books, occasionally picking them up and listening to the tips from the ticket. It takes too much luck to find even one of what you need from this pile of books.

Most of them are books that are almost indistinguishable from the outside.

Dazzling, it seems that there is a heart and a soul. A book caught his eye.

A book that has long been worn out, in addition to the traces of being turned over for a long time, is more of some incomprehensible graffiti and some pages that have been torn off artificially.

Picking it up, he flipped it, and a hint of a ticket came to his ears.

"Does it cost 100 travel point identification points to discover the equipment crafting book?"

Thinking about the only 280 points he had left, he gritted his teeth and thought in his heart.

"Anti-Witchcraft Alchemy Firearms Crafting Book (Condition: Broken)

Item Rarity: Dark blue.

Item Usage: You can spend 1000 Travel Points to repair and get a book with a weapon to craft a scroll. ”

"Hint: You can also look for people in question to restore the book (note: this may or may not be the same as the effect of the station restoration)."

"Hint: Weapon crafting scrolls can be crafted by plot characters or stations."

"Hint: Trust me, it's quite a hassle if you're looking for his soulmate."

"Can I pay in pounds?"

Calmly holding the book in his hand, Zhao Qian asked.

"Of course."

The old man said, he took out a pair of reading glasses out of nowhere and put them on. After looking at the book in his hand, he took the coin he handed over.

He took the book and followed the old man out.

He looked around from behind.

As he was about to leave the bookshelf room, he seemed to hear a whisper from somewhere behind him.

"Malfoy ......"

His footsteps stopped, and he followed the old man out as if nothing had happened.
