Chapter 10: The Shadow of Green Light
"Need to open a vault for your own wealth? Preferential price. β
"Yes, Gringotts is ready for you."
β¦β¦
Walking out of Gringotts, Mu En looked at the small bag in his hand with great interest.
The bag is tattooed with the Gringotts logo, and the use of fine fabrics is quite eye-catching. Mu En felt two kinds of magic on it.
One is used to widen the space in the bag, and the other is used to stabilize the former and ensure that it will be effective for as long as possible.
For about a year or two, it has about two cubic meters of room for expansion.
Muen tucked the bag into her sleeve, and after a few moments, handed the empty bag to Harry.
"Here you go, for a while." Mu En said.
Harry hurriedly took it, flipped the bag, and the jingle bell rang out.
"I'll give you the extra change." Mu En walked forward and said without looking back.
Harry nodded hurriedly, a little apprehensive, "Thank you, Uncle Muen." β
Mu En ignored Harry, who was looking at the wizards in front of him, and felt very abrupt.
Why are these guys wearing...
Not much different from the XVII century when he was in the Pirates of the Caribbean??
Or maybe it's a dress that fits the stereotype of wizards for ordinary people, an old robe that completely covers the body, and the smell of herbs on the body.
Have these wizards been derailed from the normal world?
It's weird...
"Uncle Muen, where are we going first?" Harry asked.
"Bookstore." Mu En said that he had just seen a bookstore called Lichen on the way here, which seemed to be quite large.
He is now very interested in the magic system of this world, as well as the history of magic in this world, and the composition of the modern and contemporary magic world.
There are not many people in the bookstore, and Mu En took a look, in addition to all kinds of magic books in this world, there are actually many magic publications. And those pictures move.
That's kind of interesting.
"Sir, would you like to buy a Hogwarts textbook for your child? At present, we have done related integration packages, and there are discounts. β
Mu En nodded, thought for a while, and decided to take a look.
Under the guidance of the clerk, Muen also saw all the books used in Hogwarts from Grades 1 to 7.
"A Thousand Herbs and Their Mushrooms", "Elementary Transfiguration", "Modern History of Magic" and so on.
"All from grades one to seven."
"Huh?" The clerk glanced at it, and then said with some uncertainty: "Do you have seven children at home?" β
β¦β¦
Mu En didn't understand this guy's brain circuit, and was stunned for a while before saying, "I want to see it." β
"Uh... Good. The clerk nodded a little smugly.
Later, Mu En rummaged through the bookstore again, and most of the books he only looked at the catalog, and decided whether he wanted to collect them. Unfortunately, almost all of the books here are published, which means that the knowledge recorded in them is not too high-end.
However, he is not without ideas, for example, from books such as "Ancient and Modern Dark Wizards" and "The Origin of Alchemy", he believes that he can find clues to high-end knowledge in them.
There is one sentence that Mu En agrees with very much,
"The more books you read, the more you feel the lack of knowledge, and the more you understand what you should read next."
But so far, one of his most satisfying books is "The Encyclopedia of Household Spells"
It actually records the magic of washing dishes, washing clothes, drying clothes quickly, and cleaning dust.
It's so easy to use.
Moreover, the magic is simple and easy to use, even a young wizard can quickly master it, and it is the best choice for enlightenment reading.
Harry would have wanted to learn both.
Certain!
After about half an hour, Harry walked out of the Blotted Bookstore with a bulging bag in his hand.
It was full of books that Mu En wanted to buy.
It cost more than 300 Galleons.
Even the owner of the Blotted bookstore was shocked.
Walking out of the bookstore, it was about noon, and after the two casually ate some meals on the side of the road, Mu En sat outside the coffee shop to rest.
Harry had been sent to the snack shop by him, and Harry's gaze had stopped there several times when he had passed by several times.
So Muen chose to rest and leave time for Harry himself.
More than ten minutes later, Harry ran up to Muen with great interest and smiled: "Uncle Muen, you open your hands." β
Confused, Muen spread his hand, feeling Harry put something wriggling into his hand.
Is it a caterpillar? Or something weird.
But as a battle-hardened old wizard and a cat, he wasn't intimidated.
I saw him have a hand, and a black mass suddenly jumped towards his face.
He squeezed his hands and saw that it was a frog made of chocolate.
"Honestly, it scared me." Mu En tried to be sincere.
"Not at all, uncle, the expression on your face hasn't changed at all." Harry said with some disappointment.
Mu En didn't argue, stood up and straightened his coat, and said with a smile: "Don't let others see your emotional changes, it's a basic requirement for a mature wizard. Actually, my heart is still pounding. β
"Also... Sure. Harry still didn't feel Munn frightened, but he asked instead, "So where are we going now?" β
"Tumbledown Alley."
This is a place that Mu En heard here just now, and I heard that it is a little different from Diagon Alley.
Maybe it'll be more interesting inside.
He was curious.
Tumbledown Alley is just behind the Gringotts side, and within two steps the two of them reached the entrance.
Unlike outside, Harry could smell a stench as he stepped into the alley, the ground was full of sewage, and there was black-green moss growing in the corners, and the skin of many of the walls had peeled off.
At the foot of the feet are chaotic bluestone stairs, they are long or short, so that first-time visitors have no way to get off their feet, and can only watch the stairs go down step by step.
After walking for more than ten meters, the walls on both sides began to have black and dirty windows, and the view was no longer a path, but widened.
After walking the messy steps, Harry finally raised his head, only to face a shriveled human head, and suddenly jumped down.
"This is the witchcraft of the tribes of the Americas that came down from the Age of Discovery." Mu En explained in a timely manner as if he had eyes behind his back.
"The people of the American Hivaro tribe would cut off the heads of their enemies to make such human heads, and use witchcraft to give them special powers, making the tribal warriors who carried the human heads even stronger.
In addition to the Shivaro head, there is also a Maori head, which is also a similar witchcraft artifact.
It's a primitive, bloody witchcraft, of course... It's also very powerful. β
Munn's tone was unhurried, gradually making Harry less scared, only letting him follow him a little closer.
He felt... It's a world away from Diagon Alley.
At this moment, several ragged wizards watched them enter, whispering, and did not shy away from throwing malicious sneers at him.
The wizarding world is a small circle, and most of the people who can run to Tumbledown Alley are already familiar with it. They knew at a glance that Muen was a new face.
After a short time, several people came over, forming a semi-encirclement.
One of them took the lead in drawing his wand and pointed at Mu En: "After taking such a large sum of money, you dare to run to Tumble Alley." Boy, hand over all the money you just withdrew. β
Mu En was a little surprised: "You saw me withdraw the money?" β
The man smiled wickedly: "I'm sorry, I witnessed it with my own eyes. With that, a spell struck suddenly.
"Faint!"
A swift red lightning appeared from the tip of the man's wand, flying towards Mu En at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react to.
"Uncle Muen!!" Harry burst out, trying to get in front of Munn.
Mu En slapped this spell away, like sweeping away a mosquito, and looked at the man: "So don't you ask yourself, why do I dare to come here and face you garbage?" β
"Boy, you've only known me as a wizard so far." Muen asked Harry suddenly.
"What... What?! Harry hadn't recovered from the shock at this point.
"Don't confuse me with trash." Muen rubbed Harry's head.
Harry looked up and saw the faint smile he was still familiar with.
Harry, who was only ten years old at the time, suddenly had a vague sense of the meaning of that smile.
That is an absolute arrogance.
"Boy, what do you think the wizarding world is like?" Mu En suddenly asked again.
"Damn, what are you talking about?!" The wizard's face was full of rage, and he felt a deep contempt, and then cast another spell.
"Drill the heart and cut the bones!!"
At the same time, the others also drew their wands and emitted various colored wands, but without exception, these spells were emitted in the form of an electric light.
"Is magic still simply expressed in the form of [waves]?! It's a bit disappointing. Mu En muttered to himself, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Smack-
In Mu En's hand, a wave of blue qi suddenly radiated outward, and the speed was so fast that it directly dispersed all the spells that attacked.
"I'll tell you, no matter how good. When the power beyond the mundane can be in the hands of private individuals. Mu En said calmly,
"Then the whole system is absolutely speaking with strength."
He looked at everyone, and with a wave of his hand, seven glossy spears suddenly appeared, corresponding to the people who surrounded them.
Harry looked at Muen with some understanding, and swallowed.
βAvada KedavraοΌοΌβ
At that moment, a green light suddenly bloomed in front of Harry's eyes.
Muen's tall figure began to tear and shatter before his eyes, like rags twisted by the wind.
The scar on his forehead, hidden by the turban, suddenly tingled, and before Harry's eyes, it seemed that another figure that had disappeared in the green light began to overlap with reality.
Tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes, and he reached out to grab Muen's dissipating figure.
"Don't!!"
