Chapter 1: The Magic Shop in Tumbledown Alley
"Hopefully, your magic shop will be doing better in the coming week. Goodbye, Mr. Embers. ”
In a humble shop in Tumbledown Alley, a rickety, wrinkled old woman pushes the door open.
In the somewhat dimly lit hut, Rhine was the only one left.
"Ugh."
Rhine sighed, returned to the counter, and sat down on the rusty stool.
He's a traverser.
It's been 19 years since I traveled to this magical world.
In this life, Rhine was born in a dark magic shop in Tumbledown Alley.
His mother was a Muggle who died in childbirth, and only his black wizard father raised him.
At the age of ten, Rhein Embers received an offer from Hogwarts.
Rhine had seen all the Harry Potter movies in his previous life, so he had a strong yearning for Hogwarts.
Embark on a fantastic adventure with the three little ones, learn countless magical magic, and become the greatest wizard at Hogwarts...... That's what I thought at first.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.
He inquired a lot and found out that Harry Potter was a full seven years younger than him.
When Rhine enrolled, Harry was just four years old.
Unfortunately, Rhine didn't have any talent for magic, and was almost at the bottom of the academy.
So much so that after graduating from Hogwarts, he could only return to his father's dark magic shop in Tumbledown Alley to help him take care of the shop.
The dream of a great wizard was shattered, and he was not qualified to be a teacher at Hogwarts.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the pressure of life also followed.
Less than a month after graduation, my father was out hunting black beetles, and his old injury recurred and he died on the spot.
Since then, the real nightmare has begun.
The landlord, Philip Eric, the old woman who had just left, opened a larger shop across from the Enbers Magic Shop.
They had everything that the Enberth Magic Shop had, and the price was always lower than that of the Enberth Magic Shop.
When Rhine lowered the price, she followed suit, as if profit and loss did not matter to her.
As a result, the business of the Enbers Magic Shop deteriorated, and it was unable to make ends meet, and within a few months it could not pay the rent.
Just half a year ago, Firi Eric began to take the goods from the Enbers Magic Shop, and converted them into a very low price to mortgage the rent, and it intensified.
Just now, even the old things left by my father were taken away.
The shelves became empty and depressed, and the Enbers Magic Shop was truly on the verge of bankruptcy.
Once bankrupt and without a house, the Rhine will be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Rhine was a little depressed.
"It's the end of July, and Hogwarts is about to start. It's time for the three little ones to go to the second grade this year...... I really want to go back to when I was in school, how carefree. ”
Gollum......
The stomach began to protest, and Rhein walked through the back door and rummaged through the back room kitchen, only to remember that the food had been eaten.
Rummaging through the money bag again, there was only one silver sike left, and three poor bronze nats.
I can't afford to eat, and this money can last for two days at most, and then I will really run out of food.
Rhein sighed and put away his purse.
Back in the shop, Rhine took out his wand and waved it in midair.
Buzz Buzz......
The shelves in the room began to tremble, as if they had come to life, and slowly moved their positions.
Some nooks and crannies that are usually invisible are all visible at this moment.
Rhein is searching for a "legacy" - although he has searched many times, what if Daddy leaves behind some hidden possessions?
"What is this ......?"
After looking for it like this, Rhine really made a new discovery.
Underneath the counter, there is a loose floor tile.
With a flick of Rhine's wand, the tile flew up on its own.
I saw a small hole inside, and a small treasure chest was placed in the hole.
Look at it, you can put at least five gold galleons in the chest!
I have to say that the most popular item in the wizarding world is probably the Golden Galleon.
It is the most valuable currency in the wizarding world, almost equivalent to 5 pounds sterling in Muggle currency.
It may not be a concept to say this, but if you calculate according to the purchasing power as currently understood by Rhine, two gold gallons are probably equivalent to three red bills in the previous life.
Rejoicing in his heart, Rhine took out the treasure chest with anticipation and returned to the bedroom in the back room.
Before entering the bedroom, don't forget to go back and cast your magic to get the shelves and counters back in their place.
Although the treasure chest does not look as big as a palm, it is very delicately made.
There is also a combination lock installed on it, which can only be opened if all four digits are correct.
Rhein tried several times, but he couldn't open the lock, and the lock picking spell didn't work.
Finally, Rhine thought about it and dialed the password to his birthday.
"It's on!"
After changing to Rhine's birthday, the combination lock was opened smoothly, and seeing what was inside, Rhine almost went black.
There was no gold galleon, no silver sico, and no copper nat.
There was only a piece of paper with a grain of rice in it.
That's right, it's a grain of rice, a poor grain of rice.
Rhine wanted to cry without tears, trembling hands, and pinched the crystal clear rice with two fingers.
What do I want this grain of rice for?
Rhine was deeply saddened and began to suspect that this was a prank left by the dark wizard father.
But at this moment.
The grain of rice, at an astonishing speed, stretched out tiny spikes that pierced Rhine's fingers.
Before Rhine could react, the "rice" had already penetrated into the skin and disappeared.
Not even the wounds remained.
What's going on?
This scene was so terrifying that Rhine's heart began to beat faster.
Then, he realized that something seemed to be more in his mind.
Not in the real brain, but in the consciousness.
Rhine closed his eyes and suddenly "saw" that there was an extra piece of land in front of him.
A small sapling, stretched out from the middle of the earth, the first leaf curled up, a feeling of budding and waiting to be released.
There is a slot in the upper left corner that says [Influence: 2/100]
There is also a field in the upper right corner that reads [Technology Points: 1]
This scene is a bit similar to the wisdom tree interface in PVZ.
What the hell is this? Could it be that the grain of rice just now is actually a tree seed that has taken root and sprouted in my body?
Rhine was puzzled.
At the same time, he also had a feeling that he could use his mind to manipulate the interface.
After a little experimentation, focus on the tech point in the upper right corner.
I saw that the technology point was instantly zeroed.
At the same time, the saplings below began to grow, and a tender green leaf stretched out.
And in Rhine's mind, there was suddenly a pile of knowledge, and it was unheard of.
In the textual introduction, this novel knowledge is collectively referred to: magical technology.
Magic, technology, these two completely incompatible words, are combined.
Rhine's eyes were a little glazed.
Just now, the feeling of adding knowledge to my mind was like memorizing the contents of a book in a few seconds.
In my memory, there are pictures of the pages of the book, and the clear words printed on them.
At the beginning of the book, dozens of words that have never been seen are introduced.
They look familiar, but the letter structure is different.
For example, in the word "reinforcement", the "n" in the middle becomes "o", while the original "o" becomes "l".
In this way, the combination becomes a four-like word, the kind that can't even be found in the dictionary.
As for the pronunciation, no one will know.
However, the Rhine is different.
It was as if he had learned it countless times, and the pronunciation of this "mantra" naturally came to his mind.
After introducing dozens of new spells, on the third page, we get down to business.
This book mainly introduces what a "magic weapon" is, and how all the magic weapons called "magic guns" are made.
A magic weapon, in short, is an instrument that makes magic work in it.
For example, the Mirror of Eris at Hogwarts, in the concept of this book, is actually a type of magic weapon.
And the "magic gun" that this book mainly records has only one function.
That's storing and releasing magic.
If you look at this alone, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
However, the next content made Rhine's heart beat faster.
To use a magic gun, you don't need to have magical power, and you don't need to have magical talent.
With it, even Muggles and Squibs, can use magic.
Moreover, using a magic gun to release magic does not require chanting a spell, and can be "instantaneous".
At this moment, Rhine knew one thing.
That is, the knowledge in my head is enough to make a huge change in the entire wizarding world!
