Chapter 363: Self-reliance
If you don't look closely, the wind element looks like a gray cloud of soot, and it looks like a whirlwind with arms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThanks to the gloomy weather that often occurs in the UK, unless you look at it intentionally, you can't really find the air element rising into the sky.
Zhao Mai grabbed the night owl and began to land. Tolkien had named his night owl Grey Wind, and now it was struggling in Zhao Mai's hands, pecking hard at the Wind Elemental with its claws and mouth.
It couldn't recognize the smell of the qi elemental until Zhao Mai landed with it and changed back to its original form. "Okay, I know it's me, don't bite. Zhao Mai checked its injuries as he cast a healing spell.
Tolkien and Logan walked out, and by this time Grey Wind had basically recovered from the spell, at least the wound would not be a problem again. As for the missing feathers, they can only wait for them to grow back slowly. The gray wind fluttered and jumped from Zhao Mai's hand into Tolkien's arms, as if he had escaped some sea of suffering.
"It was the artillery that blew it up. Zhao Mai said: "It is estimated that the gray wind broke into the range of the battlefield, and its flight altitude is not too high, so it may be affected." It had a letter on its foot, but it was almost ruined. ”
Tolkien unraveled the letter from Grey Wind's feet. Except for some of the letters hanging from the rope used to tie them, the rest were destroyed by the war. Unable to complete his mission, the night stalker pressed his head against Tolkien's chest and rubbed against him in a faint cry. "It's okay, it's a time of war, don't take this matter to heart. Take good care of your injuries and rest well. ”
Zhao Mai's dog kept pacing back and forth in front of Tolkien's house, sniffing with his head up or down. Zhao Mai called it over, squatted down and touched its head: "What's the matter, did you find anything abnormal?"
The reserve looked back at the surroundings, but in the end nothing was certain. It shook its head, and "Wang" shouted twice as a negative. Zhao Mai looked around suspiciously, but he didn't find anything, so he led everyone into the house.
Only the beginning of the letter remains, and the content does not go beyond the usual greetings, and there is no more below. "It's Grindelwald's letter, but unfortunately I don't know what's behind it. Wait until Grey Wind's feathers have grown before writing to him. Tolkien thought for a moment and then added, "It seems that Grindelwald is on the other side of the war zone, so it is impossible to come here for a while." ”
"Give Grey Wind more meat these days to give him a good rest. This is a potion recipe that speeds up the body's healing, and it is sure to be good with your abilities. Zhao Mai reached out to touch Gray Wind's head, but was still blocked by the night owl raising his wings. The domesticated wizard messenger owl has a hard temper and no longer looks less like an animal, but a magic pet that is difficult for others to approach. But if you hold the letter, the owls will become more behaved, and they will stretch out their claws to make people tie the letter.
At the moment, it seemed that neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald could help much, so Zhao Mai immediately set off for London. According to the map, the goblin's shop, not far from the Leaky Cauldron, is a grocery store called "Small Parcel". Zhao Mai drove awkwardly along the left side of the road, and first went to the Broken Cauldron Bar to take a look.
Sure enough, the bar door knocker was hung with a sign that read "Closed Today", while the wooden door kept emitting "Oops...... Oops......" sound. A beggar with a broken leg sat in the doorway with his head bowed, with a bowl in front of him. He didn't move, he didn't stretch out his hand to beg, and he didn't pay attention to anyone who walked in front of him. Zhao Mai stared at him for a while, although he couldn't detect the energy fluctuations of the magic power, he felt that he was probably someone hired by the Ministry of Magic, guarding this entrance and exit here.
The "Small Parcel" grocery store is a small storefront, and from the outside it looks like a store that sells thrift and hardware. The slender, narrow windows are filled with mops, brooms, and leather tubes. The shop does not cast the "Muggle invisible" spell, so ordinary people can enter and exit on a regular basis. It's just that there is a large lizard with a length of one meter lying on the small windowsill at the door, constantly turning its two independent eyes to look around, and from time to time it spits out its long tongue to catch flies and mosquitoes near the door. The lizard looked vicious and terrifying, and the passers-by unconsciously walked around the area in front of the door, and there were not two people who entered it all day.
Zhao Mai parked the car, left Duo Ji'an and the reserve grain in the car, and went in with Ado and Xiaohua. Ado's strength is great and can help carry things, Xiaohua is more sensitive to the natural force than Zhao Mai, and she is also very aware of the ingredients needed for flu medicine. So if there is something that can be used, Xiaohua can quickly help Zhao Mai find out.
Inside the store, there was a napping boy guarding the cash register, sitting on a round stool, lying on the counter next to the door, guarding the cash register, and his chin pressed against a copy of the day's Times. His saliva ran down the newspaper, turning the handwriting into a blurry black mud. When Zhao Mai pushed the door in, the door rang a bell, and the crisp jingle reverberated from the grocery store.
The boy awoke suddenly, and almost fell off the round stool. "Oh, welcome, what do you need, sir?"
"Is there anything for wizards? I need some potions. Zhao Mai said straight to the point.
The boy looked at Zhao Mai for a moment, then turned his head and shouted to the back: "Uncle Corzer, there is a customer coming, you should receive it!"
"Why are there still people coming at this time. One wave is not enough, and another wave comes. Zhao Mai vaguely heard a complaint coming from behind the wall: "This time it must be a person who spends money, and people who just play tricks will never accept it! Yes, never accept it!"
Behind the boy is a shelf, which is mainly nails, tape, soap, matches, and other small but relatively valuable things. There aren't many customers in this store, so the stock is very small, and there are only one or two pieces of each. Right in front of Zhao Mai's eyes, all these things were moved and piled up to the sides, emptying the area in the center of the shelf. The shelves cracked in the middle, and a secret door emerged from the wall, and when it opened, a small goblin came out.
Goblins wore suspenders and a work jacket with more than a dozen large and small pockets sewn into them, which contained all kinds of craftsman's tools such as rulers, scissors, screwdrivers, and small hacksaws. The goblin has a pair of glasses on the bridge of its nose, and on both eyes there are various lenses that can be rotated and combined, from high beam, magnification, microscopic to filter.
"Welcome to the grocery store in Corze, a mecca for consumers. You're a wizard, can you show me your wand?"
As soon as Zhao Mai's right hand flipped, the wand of the Realization Tree appeared in his hand. Ado stood behind Zhao Mai and also drew his wand from the holster of his belt. "I'm sure I haven't met you two wizards. You're from the East?"
"I'm currently studying at a magic school, so I'm not an official wizard yet. Zhao Mai replied lightly. "I'm here to buy some medicinal herbs, you can see if they have any. ”
The goblin took the list and looked at it, and his hand shook suddenly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I have these things, but the quantity is very small, maybe about a dozen pounds of bulk goods, and the price is not cheap." How much do you want?"
While everyone was talking, Xiaohua flew in through the secret door in the wall, circled around and flew back. "He had a lot of herbs in it, all tied up and ready to burn them. Xiaohua drew a large circle with both hands: "That's a big stove, the chimney alone is so thick!" (To be continued.) )
