Chapter 22 Inquiry
Hugo became famous!
When he returned to the common room in Ravenclaw with an African face, it set the whole Ravenclaw on fire, and soon the word of his glorious deeds spread, and the last night before the weekend was spent in such a pleasant atmosphere!
At noon the next day, the first year wizards ushered in their first weekend, all the students were allowed to go to the forgotten village of Hanjith, but it was absolutely forbidden to leave the village without permission, and the worst punishment for leaving the little wizards without permission would be to drop out of school, and the whole village was surrounded by patrolling white wizard squads, and the little wizards had no chance of leaving.
The reason why the patrol around the village is so strict, of course, is to reduce the infiltration frequency of dark wizards and protect the safety of the white wizards living in the village, and secondly, the village and the surrounding Squib Town are important material distribution centers, and many resources necessary for life will be transferred through here, and the magic materials, potions, plants, and items needed by the wizards will be transported to Hangis Town for trading, so the guard work here cannot be lost.
The Brown Knight has been waiting at the gate of Hogwarts for a long time, and his majestic figure can be seen from a distance, his resolute figure looks extraordinarily tall against the light of the rising sun, his body is draped in a black cloak, and he is equipped with a broadsword at his waist, which is as calm as the Grambix Mountains, which makes people feel extremely reassured.
Hugo stepped forward quickly and gave Brown Knight a big hug, a slap barely on his strong arm, and the master and servant walked in the direction of the village with a smile and a smile.
In fact, this distance is not too close, the last time Hugo came, because it was a carriage, it felt that the time was not too long, but in fact there is still a distance between the village and the school, especially after a small tall poplar forest, the dark scenery on both sides of the forest path is very good, except for weekends, few people pass through here.
Passing through the woods, you can see the rooftops of the village in the distance, and as far as the eye can see, the wizards are walking in pairs, and for Hogwarts students, it is a rare leisure opportunity to relax in the village on the weekends, and most of them will go to visit, except for the shy little wizards who are really in their pockets, such as Will.
"Uncle Brown, do you have any questions about what I asked you to inquire about?" Hugo and Brown Knight walked side by side on the forest path, and asked about an important matter, and several days ago Hugo had Robin Hood send a letter to the Brown Knight, in which he explained a very important matter to the Brown Knight.
The Brown Knight habitually watched his surroundings, and this instinct seemed to have melted into his flesh and blood, and he replied in a low voice: "Yes, young master, I have inquired, what you want is a seriously scarce resource, and it is generally in the hands of the wizarding council, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it."
Hugo's brows furrowed, his heart suddenly burst, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this time, the Brown Knight continued: "But I inquired, if you really want to get leather or magic items with extraordinary magic resistance, you can find resources in the black market!"
"How can there be a black market?, can the Wizards' Council tolerate this kind of underground trade?" asked Hugo curiously.
"White wizards and black wizards each have different resources, different resources represent different needs, both sides have the need to trade, but due to hatred, this aspect is difficult to achieve, at this time the greedy goblins seized this opportunity, they buy resources from both sides as middlemen and then resell, I have to say that these short people do not have the ability to make money, not to mention that they also need the resources of black and white wizards, so this trading black market platform was tacitly approved by three parties at the same time"
Hugo frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What do those goblins need from the wizard?"
"Of course, Jin Gallon is indispensable, in addition to Jin Galleon and some regular wizard items, those goblins need it the most, young master, you must not think of what it is!"
The Brown Knight looked deep and said, "Wands! Their favorite trading items are wands and powerful spell-casting items!"
Hugo's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but say, "A goblin can use a human wand, won't he be repelled by a wand?"
"I inquired about this, and I heard that there is indeed a phenomenon of rejection, but most goblins can still use magic wands, of course, it is certainly impossible to be as handy as humans, but something is better than nothing!"
"So Ollivander also sells wands to the goblins?" Hugo said in disbelief, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a disguised increase in the strength of the goblin race?
The Brown Knight shook his head and said cautiously: "No, it's not like this, the requirements of the Wizarding Council are particularly strict in this regard, it is strictly forbidden to sell human wands to goblins, the reason why the black market is a black market is because these transactions are not visible, and those that can be traded on the bright side are carried out on the normal race exchange, and those that are not visible are carried out on the black market."
At this point, the Brown Knight stopped talking, because two senior wizards walked quickly behind them, and they were talking excitedly about a kind of magic, and only after they walked past did the Brown Knight continue.
"The war casualties of black and white wizards are too normal, and the biggest trophy of the surviving wizards is the enemy's wand! These wands are far less handy than their own, but each one is very precious, at this time the goblins found the opportunity again, and exchanged these loot with conditions that wizards can't refuse, although the wizarding council has repeatedly banned the trading of wands, but there are still black and white wizards who trade privately, because the conditions given by the goblins are too tempting!"
"What condition?" Hugo couldn't help but ask, vaguely feeling that even he couldn't decide on this condition.
The Brown Knight swallowed and said: "For example, dragon eggs! powerful alchemy props! The leather of precious creatures, including the dragon skin that the young master needs, and even the skin of the horned camel beast, I heard that this is a leather that is stronger than the dragon skin and has better magic resistance, and I heard that they also have some special precious items that will never be exchanged for gold coins, and only accept the form of bartering transactions, in the end, what they want most is the magic wand and magic potions refined by the wizard!"
After Hugo heard the content of the transaction, he couldn't help but be moved, he really needs to make an armor with strong protection ability, and at the same time, this armor also needs a good magic resistance, dragon skin is a very good choice, I didn't expect the goblin to have a better horned camel skin!
