Chapter 17: The Place Where I Learned Magic Was in the Himalayas..... (Thanks to the alliance leader Jiewago for his support)
The priest, who was born and raised in London for 64 years, told Fang Linyan with certainty that there was no such place in London, and he had not even heard of the name.
Fang Linyan was silent for a moment, and it was only at this time that he realized that the promotion of the title of scholar seemed to be a very difficult thing....... At least at the beginning, I gave myself a dismount.
After a while, when Fang Linyan was thinking about whether to give up this goal, he suddenly saw Robbie coming over, rubbing his hands and saying a little crampedly:
"Forgive me, sir, for not deliberately eavesdropping on your conversation, but I seem to have heard you say you want to go to Tumbledown Alley?"
Robbie withdrew alone ten minutes ago, his appearance was already vicissitudes, and when he withdrew, he looked very embarrassed, his unkempt hair had burnt marks, and Fang Linyan noticed that the box that was not separated from him was also missing.
At this time, Robbie suddenly came to take the initiative to talk to him, Fang Linyan was also a little surprised, but he immediately said:
"Yes, Mr. Robbie? Maybe you can give me a different answer?"
Robbie was obviously a little uncomfortable in the face of Fang Linyan's gaze, and looked away in a panic, the birthmark on his face was even a little red, obviously he should be suffering from social difficulty syndrome or autism, and he stammered after a while:
"Yes, Mr. Wrench, I know how to go, but, but ......."
Speaking of the back, he even stammered.
Fang Linyan was stunned and said:
"Hmm, I guess you're trying to say it's dangerous, so it's not for me to go in?"
Robbie shook his head, his expression was a little struggling, and finally he said:
"But Muggles there..... No, you can't get in. β
Fang Linyan was stunned, then looked at Robbie and smiled slightly, put his arm on his shoulder and said:
"Actually, I'm not an ordinary person, I just haven't received professional training, don't believe me. β
Fang Linyan said as he spread out his palm and handed it to him, activated the drone skill, and suddenly a drone appeared in his palm, and then flew out aimed at the sky.
When Robbie saw this scene, he was immediately surprised and said:
"What are you?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"It's a simple combination of magic, first summoning a flying otherworldly creature and then applying a transfiguration to it. β
Robbie was even more shocked when he heard this:
"First the summoning spell, then the transfiguration? But to release the summoning spell, you need to draw the summoning circle and the casting materials, and you did it so easily! Why don't you need a wand to cast the spell?"
Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"My magic system is different from what you learned, and the place where I learned magic was in the Himalayas...... Just like we can go to France by magic fireplace, or we can go by boat, as long as we get to the place, does it matter how we get there? The important thing is that I'm not a Muggle. β
Robbie listened to Fang Linyan's words and always felt that something was wrong....... But he was not a man of words, and after a moment of hesitation, he said:
"Well, if you want to go to Tumbledown Alley, you'll first have to head to Diagon Alley, which is magically hidden, equivalent to a separate half-plane. β
"The way to get in is to go to the Aksee Tackle Shop at the corner of 7 Kings Road in London, opposite the Leaky Cauldron Bar------ which Muggles see as a gray-and-white wall. β
Then, in the small patio behind the Leaky Cauldron, hit the side of the dumpster with your wand and count three more wall tiles horizontally to enter Diagon Alley! The Tumbledown Alley you're looking for is not far from Diagon Alley, and it could even be called a branch of Diagon Alley. β
Fang Linyan was stunned and said:
"It's so complicated...... No wonder the average person doesn't know. By the way, Mr. Robbie, is this side of Tumbledown Alley open at night?"
Robbie Says:
"It's equivalent to an independent half-plane, it's very lively, and it can even be called the magic center of Europe, it will receive wizards from all over the world, and even if the shopkeeper leaves, there are magical assistants to help sell goods, and it won't close unless it's a special case. β
Fang Linyan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Very good, thank you for your help. β
After finishing speaking, he turned to leave, looking at his back, Robbie's face showed an anxious look, and suddenly said:
"Hey, Mr. Wrench!"
Fang Linyan turned around and said:
"Huh?"
Robbie opened his mouth, but he said with some desire:
"Tumbledown Alley is a chaotic place, even for wizards, you have to be careful, Mr. Wrench. β
Fang Linyan waved his hand:
"Understood, I owe you a favor, well, the big kind, I'll go first, in a hurry. β
About forty minutes later, Fang Linyan came to the door of the Akxie Fishing Tackle Shop on King's Avenue, he looked to the opposite side, and sure enough, he found ..... An off-white wall!
The oncoming bad news immediately overwhelmed him.
"What the hell, you gave me a hint and didn't let me in, are you deliberately playing with me?
Fang Linyan couldn't help but squirt wildly in his heart.
However, swearing is not really useful except for venting.
Fang Linyan walked to the front of the gray-white wall with some stupidity and smashed it with his fist...... The feedback and dull sound all indicate that this is just a real wall.
Fortunately, at this time, the joint trial badge on Fang Linyan's neck shone a little, and a prompt appeared on the retina:
"Trialist ZB419, you are a mercenary at this time, and because your mission is to eliminate unknown and uncontrollable dangers, your Joint Trial Badge has a scanning function. β
"Found a secret door with a magical mask, do you want to spend 500 universal points to scan. β
In the face of ubiquitous exploitation, what else can Fang Linyan say?!Can these five hundred universal points be chosen? I can only grit my teeth and choose yes, fortunately, the previous task obtained almost 5,000 universal points to reward him with blood recovery, otherwise Fang Linyan can only be described as bleeding now.
Immediately afterward, there was a light shining on the joint trial badge, and he immediately saw that the gray-white wall in front of Fang Linyan immediately dissolved as if the water was rippling, and was replaced by a very small bar faΓ§ade.
Hyacinth lamps hang from the eaves of the bar's porch, and the stone walls next to it have obvious chiseled marks, and the bar's antique wooden sign, swaying slightly in the wind, reads "London Leaky".
Fang Linyan pushed open the door of the bar and walked in, and found that from the outside, the bar looked very small, and the business area should be less than twenty square meters, but after entering, he found that the space inside was unusually large.
The thick oak table was no longer old, and the surface was scratched. Even though it was daytime, a white candle was lit and burned on a solid wood candlestick wrapped in white tin. The walls next to it have been eroded by the wind and look dilapidated, and in some places even red bricks are exposed, and there are even signs of moths on the beams and columns. Behind the bartender are a number of empty wine bottles, and the window lattices next to them are also in the style of the ancient fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
At this time, although there are only two or three candles lit in the bar, the light seems to be able to emerge from the walls, tables, and floors, giving people the feeling of being in an afternoon without direct sunlight, bright and gentle.
It can be seen that there are only two or three tables of customers in the bar, all of them are talking in a low voice, only the bartender looked up after Fang Linyan entered, recognized his face, and then lowered his head again and went down to busy with his work.
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then came to the front of the bar, tossed a shilling coin, and said:
"Hey, sir, my friend asked me to meet me up in Diagon Alley, but I haven't been there before, I thought you might be able to do me a favor?"
The bar looked up, looked at the shilling coin tumbling on the table with his gray pupils, and then blew on it, and the coin rolled straight into the drawer next to it, and then said:
"There's a back door to your right, just take your wand and knock on that cracked brick. β
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Thank you. β
The bar said lazily:
"There is no Muggle currency in Diagon Alley, where you need gold Galleons to pay...... So if you need it, you can come to me to exchange it, and the current exchange rate is 3:1. The front is the pound and the back is the gold galleon. (Note: The exchange rate in 1987 was 1:5, considering that it was now a hundred years ago, so the exchange rate was slightly changed)"
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, and then very happily exchanged 3 gold gallons from him.
Apparently the bartender thought it was just a small deal, but he still muttered that he would change it, after all, mosquito legs are also meat.
Fang Linyan picked up a gold Galleon and looked at it, this thing was issued by Gringotts, the central bank of the wizarding world, and was made of high-purity gold. Not only that, but its surface has been treated with a special enchantment process to make it shine anywhere as if it were shining in the sun, so it looks great and is not easy to fake.
Immediately after, Fang Linyan came to the back of the bar, and found that it seemed to be just a brick wall, but once again received a prompt on whether to spend 500 universal points to scan, gritted his teeth and activated the joint trial badge on his chest again.
As the five hundred universal points evaporated again, the light on the Combined Trial Badge flashed, and the brick wall in front of it began to spread out regularly, and then the bricks began to rotate one after another, opening a door, and behind the gate was a bustling crowd.
