Chapter 91: The Leaky Cauldron Bar (3rd Update)
"Damn, how can the World Tree be on you? Isn't this ruined? ”
Phoenix's voice of surprise accompanied Merlin as he stepped through the passage to a place.
In front of him, there was a bridge, Merlin looked familiar at first glance, and when he looked to the side, he instantly knew where it was.
"London Bridge, Big Ben in the Tower of London, tsk, it's a familiar world, I don't know if it's a normal world."
Merlin glanced around and saw that it was not in modern times, but in a relatively modern style.
The sun was obscured by the low dark clouds in the sky, and the pedestrians on the streets, dressed in cloaks of various colors and carrying umbrellas, walked in a hurry and did not stop too long.
"Hey, let me ask you, isn't the World Tree destroyed, why is it on you?"
Phoenix's voice was heard, full of disbelief.
"That's my secret, it's up to you, why do you know that there are other worlds, and world barriers."
Merlin asked rhetorically, although there are other worlds like this, and some of Norland's big forces know about it, it is impossible to know about things like world barriers.
"Well, all I can tell you is that there are big secrets and big horrors in the world, and I don't have anything else to say."
Phoenix was obviously taboo and didn't want to say more, and even Merlin asked him about it, stating that he was seriously consumed and was going to fall asleep.
"Merlin, I'm serious, don't ask anymore, it's not good for you to know too much, I haven't recovered yet, I'm asleep first, you play slowly."
After saying that, Merlin refused to make a sound no matter how much he screamed, and simply gave up.
"Magic, with the power of magic."
Suddenly, Merlin felt a special wave of magic, very slight, but still caught by him.
"Brush"
The snake spell became invisible, then flew straight up, heading towards the felt waves.
Soon, Merlin appeared in front of a dirty, cramped bar and looked up to see the door sign reading "Leaky Cauldron Bar".
"Hey, this can't be the world of Harry Potter."
Merlin frowned, canceling the invisibility of the snake charm, if it was the world of Harry Potter, it didn't matter if he was invisible or not.
He has watched the full Harry Potter movies, and although he can't say that he understands it very well, he feels that he also has a certain understanding of the world.
Although it feels like the power system is not strong, he still likes this world very much, and he can be said to be lucky to have the opportunity to come here.
"I don't know what year it is, if Harry Potter has been to Hogwarts."
With that, Merlin pushed open the door to the Leaky Cauldron and walked inside.
"Hello sir, I'm Tom, the owner of the bar, would I like something to drink?"
An old man with his hair gone, a wrinkled face, and a somewhat hunched back walked up to greet him.
"Just have a beer."
Merlin sat down at a random table and looked around with his peripheral vision, it was noon, and there was no one in the bar.
Only a few old men in tattered robes were drinking.
I looked around casually, but I didn't see anything that showed the year.
"Sir, today is the number of years, I came here in a hurry and forgot the time."
Merlin looked at it and saw that there was no such thing as a calendar, so he had to ask.
"On August 30, '91, I would like to ask, sir, are you a wizard?"
Tom's cloudy eyes looked at Merlin from time to time, and he could feel a slight magical reaction from Merlin's body, but he didn't feel it seriously.
"Yes, I am a mysterious mage from the East, and I am also a wizard."
Seeing Tom ask, Merlin simply admitted that according to the original book, there was not much description of the East, and Merlin happened to borrow an identity.
And he's going to borrow it here for a while, and then get on the Hogwarts train, and he'll have to deal with the boss.
He found that at this point in time, it was only one day before the start of Hogwarts, and it was a coincidence that it happened to be the time period of the first part.
He remembered the world he had been to, except that Jackie Chan's adventures were in the late part of the first part.
Pacific Rim and Harry Potter are all in time for the plot to begin, which gives Merlin a subtle feeling.
"Mage from the East, no wonder I don't feel good about your magic, sorry, this guest from afar."
Tom graciously admits and offers Merrill the drink he wants.
"It's all right, old man, do you have a place to stay here?"
Merlin took a sip of his wine and asked about it, then secretly pinched a gold Norland coin into a piece.
He almost forgot that he didn't have the gold Galleon currency here except for Norland's money, so he had to take a piece of gold and pinch it into a piece of gold and use it first.
"Yes, can I ask your Excellency where you are going, maybe I will know the way."
Old Tom took a cup of rag scrubbing and pretended to ask casually.
"Maybe you really want to introduce me, sir, I want to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Merlin was too old to blend in as a student, so he had to apply for a teacher.
He was also looking forward to seeing the magic of this world and what the difference was.
"This, I can indeed help you with introductions, but, as far as I know, the lack of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors in the school has already been chosen, I'm afraid it ......"
Tom took another closer look at Merlin, and felt that the young man, who looked to be only about 20 years old, was a little suspicious of his purpose.
He was too young, and he wanted to be a teacher at Hogwarts, when he had just graduated.
Merlin knew who the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was, Professor Quirinus Quirrell, Voldemort's henchman.
At the same time, Voldemort is hiding behind his head, and Merlin feels that he, as the villain of the first part, died a little too aggrieved, and died after being touched by Harry Potter.
"It's okay, I can be an assistant, I'm sure Headmaster Dumbledore will be satisfied."
Merlin smiled slightly, not explaining too much.
"Well, I might be able to write you a letter to Professor Minerva McGonagall, who is the head of Gryffindor, and I can't guarantee if she will reply."
For Tom, who runs the tavern business, contacts are accumulated, and if he does a small favor, he can also gain a favor.
"Then thank you in advance, sir, this is my remuneration and room fee, I don't know if it's enough."
Merlin walked over to the front desk and handed over a piece of gold, which was made of a gold coin.
"I'm a little sorry, I didn't bring any money, I only brought this, it should be worth some money."
He didn't know what the gold exchange ratio was here, so he had to settle for it.
"It's too much, wait a minute, I'll look for your money."
Tom weighed it first, then turned around and rummaged, quickly taking a small bag and counting Merlin's money.
"Your Excellency's piece of gold is worth about 5 gold galleons, and the cost of the room is 1 gold galleon, looking for you four."
Merlin took it and did not refuse, but asked where the Fairy Bank Gringotts was going.
"This gentleman, I'll take you there, I'm just on the way."
