The preparation time for a proxy war is fifteen years.

Counting the time required to study mobile armor technology and erudition courses, Wang Shui's plan should be quite tight.

Wang Shui carried his identity certificate and money on his body, and then changed himself into an ordinary Englishman before going out.

It's the end of July and it's still hot in London.

Wang Shui changed out of the long trench coat of the hunting suit, and only kept the black T-shirt and trousers and sports backpack on his body, which made him look like an ordinary young student.

As soon as he went out, there was a newsstand not far from the small apartment, and Wang Shui went to buy old bound bags of popular newspapers such as The Guardian, The Times, and the Financial Times, as well as a map.

This basic information is important, and it's not expensive.

After finding a corner and studying the map, he went directly to the [Charing Crossway].

Wang Shui is not sure about the progress of his teammates, and now they are still chatting, seemingly enjoying a role-playing game, and everyone has no desire to communicate for the time being.

Maybe they all want to see if their teammates are qualified to cooperate.

Wang Shui didn't want to make a head bird, but he was really catching up.

There was nothing special about the Muggle world here, and without any intention of visiting, Wang Shui quickly found the target bookstore and record store.

As Shui Wang approached them, he managed to spot the small bar.

As he approached, the text "Leaky Cauldron" and a three-legged potion crucible appeared on the small sign at the door of the bar.

"It seems that my extraordinary abilities have been recognized by this magical world." Wang Shui said on the public channel.

"It's good to have direct access to the wizarding world, but the tone you deliberately use when you speak is weird."

Sylvia, who is temporarily inconvenient to come out, is complaining from the first perspective of Wang Shui, VIP spraying.

"Cosplay~"

Wang Shui replied with a smile as he pushed open the small door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

The space inside is a little larger than it looks at the door.

But the dim light provided by candles and lanterns, combined with the variety of shapes and random tables, makes it a bit crowded, and there are quite a few guests today.

This is the first time Wang Shui has seen the wizards in this world, their appearance is no different from ordinary people, but most of them are wearing single-colored wizard robes, looking mysterious and mysterious.

However, they really go well with the style of the bar.

The smell of alcohol here was very strong, and there was a faint sour smell in the air, so the regia didn't look too much and went straight to the only bar.

"Hey Tom, open the back door for me, I'm going to fix my wand."

The owner and bartender here is an old man with a Mediterranean haircut, but he gives Aqua regia the impression that he is only healthy and strong.

The boss Tom was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and without much nonsense, he took the regia water to the small patio behind.

Although Aqua Kings was a fresh face, Tom didn't think much of it - after all, Aqua Kings had entered the bar on his own, which meant that he wasn't a Muggle.

And Wang Shui called his name accurately, his tone was familiar, and the reason was sufficient, tsk, he should be a guest who doesn't come often.

Now that Hogwarts is approaching, there are a lot of students here, and Tom is used to opening the door.

It is Wang Shui, who has always had a big heart, and his heart is beating faster while walking, and this kind of dream fantasy world evokes his happy memories.

The small patio behind the bar was even smaller than Aqua regia had remembered, with only an empty broken trash can leaning against the wall and acting as a locator.

Instead of counting three bricks up the trash can and then two horizontally, Tom just pulled out his wand and lit it on a specific brick, and the old bricks started to move.

Soon, a brick door was let out, revealing the old bustling street behind it, and the crowd of people rubbing shoulders with it.

"I'll see you later, Tom."

Wang Shui said goodbye casually, and naturally walked into the important life circle of British wizards-

【Diagon Alley】

It was a long cobblestone street, not full of shops on both sides, and Wang Shui also saw many signs of restaurants and the like.

But the British restaurant ...... He really wasn't interested.

There weren't many people in Diagon Alley who wore Muggle costumes like Shui Wang, and even in this hot weather, they wore long wizarding robes.

In the setting, the wizard robe seems to be able to adjust the temperature automatically?

Before exploring the characteristics of wizard robes, Wang Shui first came to a white towering building in the middle of the long street-

【Gringotts】Wizard Bank.

Yes, he was going to exchange some money, and the orphan certificate was given only to pounds sterling, and this Muggle currency was not in circulation here.

The banks are all short, big-headed, pointy-eared goblins, similar to in the movies.

But when Wang Shui faced them directly, he always felt that they were shorter than on the screen, and the more he looked at them, the stranger they became, Wang Shui first found an empty business counter and asked:

"Hello, what is the current exchange rate of pounds to gold galleons?"

For Wang Shui's straightforwardness, the goblin person in charge who looked a little old lifted his glasses, looked up at Wang Shui, and said:

"Recently, it was 4.5 to 1, but there is a limit on the amount of exchange."

"Help me exchange 100 Galleons, and besides, how much will it cost to get my own vault here?"

"If your family has a vault here, it doesn't cost you anything to expand your private room, but if you want to open a private one......

There is detailed identification information, only 5 Galles per 10 years, if there is no information, 50 Galles per year, this is the most basic warehouse, the more secure private warehouse, the price will be more expensive. ”

Meaning, anyone can save?

It is true that Shui Wang had not paid attention to this information before.

"I've brought my personal information, just open an ordinary warehouse, now, let's store these books in first."

Wang Shui took out everything in his sports backpack - it was his Muggle World identity certificate and three Muggle World tomes.

"This—Mr. [Hill Via]? Your identification, it seems, was issued by Muggles? ”

"Yes," Wang Shui generously admitted, "I am a Muggle-born wizard, and you can investigate me through this information." ”

"Well, generally speaking, wizarding identification is required to be registered and certified by the Ministry of Magic Archives, and the information you provide ......"

"Can't you?"

"Gotta add money."

In the end, Wang Shui got a warehouse of 15 Galleons for ten years, as for the grade......

Wang Shui handed the miscellaneous items he wanted to save to the goblin in charge, took the silver key and left.

Back on the long street where the crowds were surging, Wang Shui patted his full pockets, and then began shopping with a clear purpose.

The next stop doesn't need to ask, it is naturally the replacement of the Blotted Bookstore, Tumbling Alley.

Wang Shui didn't want to go to this place where dark wizards gathered to do something, he just wanted to buy some cheap second-hand books.

The entrance to Tumbledown Lane is very close to Gringotts, and it is very unremarkable, and there are used books selling near the entrance.

Wang Shui wasted no time, it only took him ten minutes from the time he went in to the time he came out after buying all the beginner tutorials at Hogwarts.

But in these ten minutes, the gold galleons on his body became single digits.

After that, he bought a wand wand from the thrift store for less than 1 Galleon, as well as some odds and pieces of special materials.

After buying these, Wang Shui did not leave in a hurry.

He found a quiet corner, opened the Standard Spell, Elementary, and Level 2 to himself, and began to read.

Half an hour later, Wang Shui closed the book, drew his wand and whispered:

Fix as New (Oculus Reparo)

He succeeded, he succeeded the first time he cast his magic!

Aqua regia targeted an old brick on a nearby wall, and translucent energy diffused and popped out, but the brick was only blown away by some of the attached dust.

It did work, Wang Shui could feel it.

It was not possible to make a visible repair, mainly because the brick was too old.

To fix it completely, more complex parsing is needed, and more energy is needed.

And Wang Shui obviously felt the inadequacy of the wand, and when casting the spell, it seemed to be separated by a thick barrier, and even his spirit became a little drowsy.

However, unlike the spells cast by the characters in the movie, the magic of this world is much more flexible than Wang Shui imagined.

With his wand as a medium, he can change vague spell models at any time.

Yes, the spells of this world also have models, and the energy enters the model and constructs spells with strange powers.

Aqua regia continued to try, and this time he didn't release it in a hurry, but kept this repair technique condensed in the first half of the wand, and then continued to pour energy.

Dangerous...... At some point, a clear sense of crisis came over me.

Wang Shui was immediately distracted by multiple spells, and the inconspicuous black metal ring on his left hand lit up with a faint light, and a small number of characters lit up on him, adding resistance to his body.

The milky white light condensed at the tip of the wand, and there were not many people nearby, but they all looked keenly at the aqua regia.

Smack-

With a soft sound, the front third of the wand burst open.

A violent energy was about to explode, but the light blue light in Wang Shui's eyes flashed, and this energy was immediately suppressed and evacuated by him.

Cut, it turned out to be just a minor accident.

After looking away from the disappointed eyes around him, Wang Shui stuffed his wand into his pocket, and then walked straight to the classic [Ollivanders Wand Shop].

That's what he's aiming for.

In the small, cramped old shop, only the entrance is slightly more spacious, except for a bench, and the small counter is surrounded by wand boxes stacked to the ceiling.

If none of these boxes are empty, there are at least a few thousand wands in this little shop.

When Wang Shui entered, the brass bell on the huge wooden door made a noise, but it still reminded the shopkeeper to look up.

"Good afternoon, this ...... Young Mr. Wizard, do you want to pick a wand? ”

"Yes sir, I need to change my wand."

With that, Shui Wang handed the split wand to the gray-haired Ollivander.

"Brand new damage, it's hopeless, but this inferior material, this trick of using ghost dust as a staff, is not from our Ollivanders."

"I'm just showing it, my old buddy is broken, so I want to get a new one."

"Of course you can, but to buy a wand here, you need to leave a record."

When Ollivander saw this wild wand, his first reaction was that it was used by the black household.

"Ciel Via, remember to record this old wand as well, it's the one I used before."

Wang Shui emphasized that Ollivander did not seem to have heard such a request, but he also recorded it honestly.

"Yes, Mr. Viva, which hand are you used to casting spells with?"

The filing was crudely done, and Mr. Ollivander seemed to be more anxious to find the right staff for Aqua Aqua as soon as possible - he had already pulled out a tape measure.

And Wang Shui is more concerned about the whereabouts he left behind as a wizard, so that he can write his own experience.

After checking the filing records, he replied:

"Usually right-handed, sometimes left-handed."

After listening to this, Ollivander quietly measured the length of his arms and hands, as well as the width of his palms.

After that, he also asked Wang Shui to do a few arm swings.

After a moment's thought, Ollivander pulled out a long box from a nearby shelf, dusted it off, and pulled out a black-brown wand.

He whispered as he handed it to Wang Shui.

"Try this one, made of hawthorn wood, the center of the staff is the hair of a unicorn, the core of the staff balances the sharpness of the wood, so that its owner can remain calm in the aggressive."

Wang Shui took the wand and whispered with movements:

Fluorescent Scintillation (Lumos)

Fluorescence immediately flashed on the tip of the staff, and as the output of Aqua regia increased, the fluorescence began to become brighter and more persistent.

But both frowned.

"It's a little sluggish, it's too weak."

Wang Shui handed back the wand and talked about his feelings.

"Hmm...... Yes, Mr. Viva, you have a very strong control over magic, and it likes you, but it is not for you, poor little one. ”

Ollivander seemed to be infected by the wand's sadness, and his expression was a little depressed, but he quickly put it away and replaced it with a new one.

"Although our goal is to choose wizards for wands, that's for newbies, Mr. Via, you need better!

This one, made of hazelwood, is loyal and sensitive, and the heart of the phoenix's tail feathers is very inclusive and powerful. It's just that it's a bit fussy. ”

Wang Shui took the wand and released the spell again, this time much better.

But as he continued to adjust the scale of his spells, the wand was clearly not able to keep up.

"Tut-tut, another poor little fellow, it's already working hard. However, I like to be picky about guests, so please wait a little longer! ”

Next, Wang Shui tested more than a dozen wands, and most of the combinations were tried by him, and the results were not optimistic.

Looking at the pile of sad wands on the counter, Ollivander also began to get a little anxious, and he muttered and burrowed into the back of the store, which seemed to be a warehouse.

When he returned, he had an unusually old box in his hand.

The wand inside is also very old.

"It's a wand made from an ancient ginkgo tree, and it doesn't have a wand, or it is a wand itself.

This is the product of hundreds of years ago, when wizards from all over the world communicated with each other, exchanged what they had, and tested materials.

Since then, we've become more and more sure of the type of wand, and the old wands, which have different functions and are difficult to find their owners, have gradually been eliminated and hidden. ”

Wang Shui took the "magic wand" that was more than half a meter long - it was very thick and pressing, and Wang Shui subconsciously made a wave movement.

This wand reminded him of the time when he was learning the art of short sticks.

Then came the magic test, where Aqua Wang grabbed the stick a third of the way, and instead of swinging it like a normal wand, he swung it in small increments.

The spell is successfully cast.

The levitation charm sent most of the light items in the store flying, and they didn't wobble, as if they were frozen in the air.

"That's it, how much do I have to pay?"

Ollivander also breathed a sigh of relief, and he said with relief:

"If you buy it for the first time in our store, it will only cost 7 Galleons, and if you need to repair it or replace it with a new one, the price will be higher, so please take care of it."

"I will."

Wang Shui replied in the affirmative and spent the last of the gold gallons on his body.

Sorry, personal issues, plus recent discomfort, caused a lot of late shifts.

In fact, what is missing is a change the day before yesterday......

The matter is done, but the body is still feverish, the temperature fluctuations have been terrible recently, everyone pay attention to the body, don't catch a cold, uncomfortable......

Now the code word is not a problem, I will fill in the missing chapters!
