The next morning, the first thing Zhang Xiao did when she opened her eyes was fumbling for the envelope that she had placed next to her pillow yesterday.

He took the envelope and flipped it back and forth several times before he was foolishly sure that what had happened last night was not a dream.

It made him look refreshed, even a little over-refreshed.

Later, Zhang Xiao had to remind himself that it was just Hogwarts, and the two worlds combined were forty people, so he had to be steady!

What? And you have to add monasticism?

That's a steady fart! Float directly!

The family finished breakfast happily, and as soon as they put down the chopsticks, Zhang Xiao couldn't wait to ask:

"Dad, when are we leaving?"

Zhang Chengdao showed a helpless smile at his wife:

"Now!"

Half an hour later, the three of them were already sitting in their old car, and they were not far from home thanks to the terrible traffic conditions in London.

Looking at the road conditions, it will take a while, in order to alleviate the boredom during the traffic jam, Zhang Chengdao began to give his son some basic information about the Western magic world.

Zhang Xiao didn't expect his father to know a lot about the magic world, but if you think about it carefully, as one of the heirs of the Daomen, you can't be smeared when you come to the West, right?

It is estimated that there is also intelligence support from the Daomen inside.

"The place we're going to is called Diagon Alley, which is the busiest wizarding street in the UK.

The entrance is in a pub, which I visited a few times when I first came to the UK, and it's a bit smaller than our market, but it's quite distinctive. ”

Li Qingshu in the passenger seat glanced at him and added:

"Don't look at what your dad is talking about now, he made a lot of jokes back then.

Zhang Chengdao coughed a few times in embarrassment:

"Don't expose me in front of my son, cough cough... Let's move on.

The bar at the entrance is called the Leaky Cauldron Bar, in the early years, this bar could be entered by ordinary people, and it has only been hidden in the last few decades.

There is also an interesting anecdote during this period, saying that at the beginning of the 19th century, the secular government here was preparing to rebuild a street, and according to their ideas, the bar should have been demolished.

The Minister of the Ministry of Magic at that time. You know the Ministry of Magic, right? It's the place where this group of wizards is in charge, the equivalent of the government of the wizarding world. ”

Zhang Xiaozheng listened energetically, and hurriedly nodded in agreement:

"I know, I know, and then what about Dad?"

"This Minister of Magic is an old stubborn, still guarding the old dogma of immortal isolation, and he doesn't want to deal with ordinary people, so he let the secular government dismantle it.

But the common people of the wizarding world were not happy, they collectively cast spells, changed the plan, and kept the bar.

But this caused a lot of trouble for the designers, and they didn't understand that their heads were bald.

Why is there a blank space in the design that cannot be found?

Over time, it has become a legend, and the disciples and grandchildren of these people will hold their heads and shout when they encounter problems,

'O God! Another vacant lot on Charling Street! (Note 1)'

Uh, poor designer ....

Zhang Xiao silently lit wax to the designer in charge of planning in her heart, and then laughed with her parents very unkindly.

The whole car was suddenly filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

Then Zhang's father also told some small anecdotes, which Zhang Xiao had never seen in books in his previous life.

For example, there is a very famous liquor in the Leaky Cauldron Bar called Gamble Aged Social, which has a history of nearly 300 years.

And just drink a pint and you'll get a reward of 100 gold Galleons!

Unfortunately, no one has been able to get this reward yet———— because it's so hard to drink.

Well.. I could recommend Ron to try it in the future, if Tom, the owner, is willing to sell beer to minors.

He should be able to.

Another example is Diagon Alley, where there is a tour company called "Horror Tours".

The main selling point of this travel company is the high tourist mortality rate, and they launch the following tourism projects:

"Renting a Vampire Castle in Transylvania, Searching for a "Zombie Trail" tour, coming face to face with the living dead, taking a cruise through the Bermuda Triangle, etc...."

No wonder there are so few foreigners! This kind of company has long been washed away by the families of the victims in the country, and it seems that even a wizard can't change his nature of death.....

Time passed quickly amid the laughter of the family, and Dad parked the car in front of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

Zhang Xiao carefully looked at this famous bar, which is a "landmark" in the Harry Potter story.

The bar is sandwiched between a huge bookstore and record store, and the sound of the record store is playing There's No Other Way by Blur.

From time to time, customers are attracted by melodious tunes and explicit lyrics, and walk into the store, which is a stark contrast to the deserted bar.

But there are also benefits, at least the entrance to the bar is empty and parking is easy.

Zhang Xiao looked at the dilapidated bars and modern shops, they were like the wizarding world and modern society, one ancient and decaying, the other vibrant.

Then he reacted, what does this have to do with him?

I am an international student from China.

As in the book, it's too dark and dirty.

Several old women sat in the corner of the room with small cups and drank unknown liquids, and one of them was smoking a long cigarette pouch.

A small man in a top hat is chatting with a bar owner who has almost stripped his hair and looks like a shriveled walnut.

The atmosphere in the bar was very lively, almost everyone was talking excitedly, and Zhang Xiao vaguely heard the name of Harry Potter.

Did Harry and Hagrid come before? Zhang Xiao is not sure, because the timeline is not quite right, but he has faint expectations, and he doesn't know if Harry Potter is the same as in the movie, a cute little Zhengtai.

Zhang Chengdao said in a low voice:

"There are a lot of people here, and if you don't have enough self-protection ability, it's better not to come here alone."

Zhang Xiao nodded in understanding, and Tom, the owner of the bar, saw that the visitors walked directly around the bar and towards the patio, and he didn't mean to say hello, but continued to participate in the chat with great interest.

The family went to the patio, which was a very small area with only a garbage can and some weeds.

"It's a very clever magic mechanism, the key is a wand or something that contains magical powers."

Zhang Chengdao pointed to the brick wall and said to Zhang Xiao

"Of course, in addition to the normal way of opening the door, it can also be like this"

I saw that the fingers of Zhang Chengdao's hands quickly changed a few strange postures, and there were words in his mouth, and then the whole person suddenly became obscure and blurred.

It's like you're looking through dirty glass.

Zhang Chengdao walked straight towards the wall, passed through it directly without any condensation, and soon wore it back again, smiling at his son:

"The wall piercing technique is very easy to use! When your mom and I used to come to play, we always thought the door was opening too slowly.

Of course, you can only wear some ordinary walls that are not protected, and generally speaking, wizard buildings are under protective charms. So use with caution!

Zhang Xiao's heart was surging, whether it was Taoism or magic, he couldn't wait to start learning immediately, the magnificent new world was just around the corner, who could bear it?

Li Qingshu stepped forward, counted the bricks, and tapped a brick with the knuckle of her index finger.

"Okay, don't show off, I can't wait if I don't see my son?"

The bricks shook and began to move, and a small hole appeared in the middle, and the hole grew larger and larger, and in a short time a wide archway appeared in front of them, leading to a cobbled street that winded and had no end in sight.

Li Qingshu touched Zhang Xiao's head and said with a smile

"This is Diagon Alley!"
