Chapter 76: George Arrives
"You are right, sir. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mr. Borgin's heart tightened, and he immediately bowed and apologized to Mr. Malfoy.
"Now, then, it's time for us to move on to my list. Mr. Malfoy looked impatient, "I don't have much time to waste, I have important business to do in a minute." ”
Mr. Malfoy said so, but he was not in a hurry when bargaining, and he would have fought with Bojin more than he could. Malfoy looked at the goods on sale in the store with great boredom, and it was clear that he didn't get a chance to come here very often.
He seemed curious about many things, and he circled around the cabinet where Harry was hiding several times, and Harry's heart was almost in his throat.
Bo Jin was in front of the cabinet again, he walked up, he held out his hand, "Deal." Mr. Malfoy exclaimed with relief, "Go, Draco." ”
Malfoy turned to leave, and Harry loosened his wand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"That's settled, Mr. Borgin, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow to come and pick up the goods. When it was done, Mr. Malfoy seemed a little relieved.
"Slam" the door shut, Bo Jin immediately put away the flattery of the hunched back, "Old fox, according to the rumors, these things are less than half of his private collection in the house, which is not much profit..."Bo Jin muttered indignantly, and went into the back room again.
Harry didn't move, and waited a little longer, making sure that Bokin wouldn't be back anytime soon, before quietly burrowing out of the cabinet, creeping through the counter and out the door.
Harry walked out of the shop and looked around to see him standing in a dirty alley. The two rows of streets were full of shops related to the dark arts, and the one he had just come out of was called Bogin Bock, and it was the largest shop on the street.
Another large shop opposite, through the glass window, you can see the gloomy dense density of shrunken and withered human heads. In the farther shop, there is a large cage at the door, and a group of huge black spiders are kept in the black. In a doorway next to the cage, two scrawny wizards whispered as they looked at him.
Harry felt creepy, like a lamb falling into a wolf's den, and he clutched the wand in his hand and cautiously walked down the alley.
"Why is Harry here?" Just as Harry had just walked away, a figure wearing a black robe and a black hood suddenly appeared in front of Bogin-Bock's shop.
Under the close-fitting robe, you can faintly see the strong muscles, and the huge sense of oppression brought by the terrifying body. Beneath the hood was a black hole-like fog, and it was impossible to see the slightest face. The two wizards who were staring at Harry before and whispering immediately changed their faces when they saw this figure, and they didn't dare to look more, so they lowered their heads and shrank into the doorway. There was a "click" sound, and a small door blocked the opening.
If Harry had turned his head at this point, he might have been able to recognize the familiar figure behind him just by his size. Among the people he knew, who else could have such a stature besides George. Although Hagrid was taller and stronger, he had a large barrel-like stature, and he was more conspicuous than George.
George looked at Harry's departing back, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't follow, "It's not too dangerous here, he can solve it himself, it's important." ”
Thinking of this, George ignored why Harry was here, gently pushed open the door of Bogin-Bock, and walked straight inside.
"Jingle bell... Jingle bells"
George rang the bell on the counter, looked at the furnishings as he waited, and scoffed, "It's useless garbage." ”
"Mr. Qiao, you're not right, nothing is useless. Even if it's garbage, it's useful if it's put in the right place, how can it be called useless garbage. When Mr. Borgin saw the figure in front of the counter, he immediately quickened his pace, and continued George's words in a relaxed tone.
George didn't speak, raised his hand and gently placed it on the counter, then removed it again. Only a small pile of yellow gold coins remained on the counter.
"Oh, what a wonderful luster, this is the most beautiful thing in the world. Whether it's the mesmerizing luster, the graceful lines, or the crisp jingle of collisions, gold coins are the most powerful magic in the world. When Mr. Borgin saw the gold coins on the counter, he immediately saw the food like a vicious dog, and pounced on it, and his eyes were about to fall out.
He stroked the gold coins and said, "Mr. Qiao, you're so right, there's useless garbage outside. Really good things, how can they be placed at the door for those poor guys to covet, and if they look at too many treasures, they will fall in price. The gold gallons they have earned all their lives can't catch up with the leakage from your fingers, Mr. Qiao. ”
Mr. Borgin flattered the great patron at the counter, who was really generous compared to the others, and what quality in the world could be more pleasing to a businessman than generosity?
If there were, Mr. Borgin was sure, it would be more generous than generosity.
"If you can give me what I want, I'm not going to spare Galleons. George's tone did not change, and he spoke nonchalantly, undisturbed by Mr. Borgin's performance.
George didn't care about the groveling of the man in front of him, it wasn't the first time he had dealt with this guy. It's not easy to be the largest store in Doudou Alley, don't believe what they say about honest management and customer service. Even in a world without superpowers, these claims cannot exist.
If you take the flattery and indiscriminate promises of the Tumbledown Alley merchant as a point of truth, and even believe in something "the customer is God." Then just wait for you to reveal a flaw, they will knock on the bone and suck the marrow to cheat the last copper on your body. If you still have the chance, they will pounce on you like a pack of wolves and gnaw you clean with your belt.
George looked at the human bones sold in the shops along the way, and speculated maliciously, "I wonder how many of these bones will be customers who have been deceived of everything?"
It's definitely not easy to deal with a dark wizard, if you just think that your head is better and you have more money, you fantasize about what good things you can get here. In the end, it may end up being a pile of bones sold on the counter, and George has already seen such daredevils.
"Oh, no. "Mr. Joe, the things you need are so rare that they are almost impossible to find in the market, such as the eggs of the Nistrian snake, the eggs of the phoenix, the bones of the Thestrals, and the skins of the Tebo warthogs. ”
