Chapter 78: The Malfoy Family's Private Collection
This standard experience is not simple, you must know that the author of the "Secret Book of Meditation" has spent his whole life trying to restore the meditation technique. In www.biquge.info the end, it was precisely because I didn't know the training method and didn't know the effect of the training that I had been searching for a lifetime, but I couldn't reproduce the power of meditation.
After the Forbidden Forest accident, Malfoy learned the importance of strength, and George told him that he would be training with Harry and the others when school started, which inspired him to be competitive.
Throughout the summer vacation, he didn't waste anything. He invested his time in hard training, and it was precisely because of these performances that his father, Lucius, would also bring him to Tumble Alley this time. In addition to knocking him, I also plan to prepare some gifts for him as a reward.
As unique to the entire wizarding world, George is one of the few experimental subjects under George to practice meditation. George didn't forget to care about everyone's meditation progress during the summer vacation, and even Malfoy didn't fall behind. After Malfoy made some inquiries, George appropriately replied, and also appropriately reminded Malfoy of the arrears in the mutual aid society and the remuneration for asking for advice.
And this time he knew that Lucius would dispose of his private collection in Tumbledown Alley, which was the biggest takeaway he had from Malfoy.
Mr. Bojin ran out of the back room again, holding a thick book in both hands, and said breathlessly, "Mr. Qiao, this is this book, this book "Ancient Spells Revealed", which records some basic ancient spell restoration, which is unique and very precious in the world. Bokin said, with a look on his face as if he had made a meritorious move, and handed the book to George with both hands.
"Have you tried?" George took the copy of "Ancient Curses Revealed" from Bogin's hand and flipped through it.
Bo Jin's face began to change again, and he smiled after a while, "I'm not as powerful as Mr. Qiao, this ancient spell is dusty in my hands." ”
"In other words, it's useless. George glanced at Bo Jin disapplauded, this old fox always blows some ordinary things into rare treasures, and there are really many uninformed people who are deceived. But to fool a brilliant Ravenclaw, that's not enough.
"The book is real, and although it is useless, I also accept it. George flipped through it roughly, carefully closed the book again, and then said:
"Tomorrow you go to Malfoy Manor, and when you see his treasures, you can try to persuade him to do more. The price can also be raised by 20% after your offer today, and I will still increase the price by 20% according to your purchase price. ”
Mr. Bojin looked at the mysterious patron in front of him, and his heart was also tense, and he asked tentatively, "If Mr. Joe is interested in Malfoy's private collection, why doesn't he come to the door himself?"
Borgin wanted to test how much the mysterious Mr. Joe in front of him had control over Malfoy's estate.
"Don't play tricks on you. George raised his voice and began to rhythmically pound on the table again.
"Don't... Other... Mr. Joe, I see. Bokin's heartbeat changed with the sound of percussion, and he immediately began to beg for mercy in the face of George, who would shoot without saying a word, "Mr. Joe must be afraid of arousing Malfoy's vigilance, and raise the price of those things as strange goods." ”
"Earn your money honestly, don't play tricks on you, there won't be another chance. George's voice became cold again, and his words seemed to be under a spell, which frightened Mr. Borgin into a cold sweat.
"In addition to the Malfoy family, I've been keeping an eye out for other people's items in Bucket Alley lately, and I'll be sure to keep it for you if Mr. Joe needs it. Bo Jin hurriedly bowed and apologized, regretting his previous temptation, "I know that this person is so terrible, why do you still test him, it seems that the business is really big, and my brain and guts are confused." ”
"Okay, I'll be here in three days. George ignored Bojin and walked straight out.
Why not go straight to Lucius, but start here in Bucket Alley. On the one hand, as Bo Jin said, there is a big difference between door-to-door purchase and sale. When you deal with it yourself, no one fights and no one wants it, you just want to solve the trouble. A lot of valuable things will be disposed of as garbage.
If George came to buy it himself, needless to say, even if he offered double the price. It will only arouse the vigilance of other people, raise the price, and even think that there is some secret hidden and will not sell it again.
The recent raid by the Ministry of Magic has affected more than just the Malfoys. It can even be said that even the Malfoy family, which is incredibly powerful, has begun to deal with their own private collections, and the others are even more so.
At this time, of course, George did not want to arouse the alarm of others, Tumbledown Alley was a large market for contraband, and only here could he swallow half of the secret treasures of the wizarding world without attracting the attention of others.
As for these are contraband, black magic, the laws of the Ministry of Magic clearly stipulate that they should be prohibited. George disagreed, the wizarding world had been peaceful for too long, and it had been stable for too long. Suddenly encountered Voldemort's dark reign, at this time, like a frightened bird, many incredible things were taken for granted.
When did a wizard say that? Or rather, what's safe about a wizard's thing? Power is power, whether it's poison, curses, curses, black magic, power is always power.
Power neither upholds evil nor helps good. Only strength can fight against power, and the current Ministry of Magic is really dizzy. Trying to keep the peace by covering up the dark magic and cleaning up the contraband, what will happen once Voldemort returns in full?
However, George would not remind the Ministry of Magic that they were unreliable, incompetent, and rigid. And most importantly, he is benefiting from such actions.
Just like today, because of this situation, he has acquired half of the Malfoy family's collection accumulated over thousands of years. Not only that, but during this sensitive period, there will be more "good things" coming out of Tumbledown Alley.
This kind of opportunity is unique, if not in the extraordinary circumstances of today. If it weren't for the fact that the entire wizarding world was still scared and trembling by Voldemort, it would have been inconceivable.
It is precisely to "starve the faint-hearted and support the bold." "After this turmoil, as long as George handles it properly, the entire wizarding world, except for Hogwarts, all the treasures and accumulations, should be the most important for George.
In addition to the secret collection, the precious books and items that have been circulated due to the confiscation of the Ministry of Magic.
Another reason is that his current identity is also a secret. Although his body shape has not changed, no one has ever seen his face under the hood. If something is involved, just don't admit it. With his abilities, it was too easy to exploit the laws of the wizarding world, and retaining a mysterious identity would help him a lot in his actions.
