Chapter 1029 Knockdown Alley

"The two of them are out." Hermione exclaimed softly.

It didn't take long for Lucius to leave Gringotts. Contrary to what Fan Lin thought, it was more like Lucius went in and exchanged some information. Otherwise, with the efficiency of Gringotts in withdrawing money, Fan Lin was You can catch up even if you take a nap for a while...

"What are they talking about with that goblin?" Hermione squinted her eyes. If possible, the girl even wanted to stand next to the two of them immediately to find out what the old Death Eater was planning.

However, the conversation did not last long. Fan Lin watched as Lucius handed the goblin a small bag of gold coins. For Lucius, this was just a normal way of communication.

"Let's follow." Hermione said suddenly, and even before Fanlin could react, the girl had already pulled him up from his seat.

"Hey, wait..." Fan Lin was a little confused. It was obvious that the two of them came out to relax, but in the end it turned out like this, which was not what Fan Lin wanted to see.

Moreover, the direction of Lucius...

"Knockturn Alley..." Hermione hesitated and stopped at the intersection in front of her that seemed to lead directly to the underground.

Of course, Hermione knew how sensitive the current period was. A large number of dark wizards were pouring into London, and their final destination was basically here.

As an unregulated territory, Knockturn Alley is far more dangerous than Hermione imagined.

Knockturn Alley is a dark alley near Gringotts and connected to Diagon Alley. The alley is full of dark magic shops selling shrunken human heads, giant black live spiders and poisonous candles. Among the vendors on the roadside was an old witch holding a plate full of human nails. According to Hagrid, there was someone selling slug repellent medicine somewhere in the alley.

In fact, this is only the connected part. Even Fan Lin has only gone as far as the Bojin-Bok store.

Speaking of which, Bock's Store is probably the largest store in Knockturn Alley. It specializes in selling dark magic items, some of which are very dangerous. The owner, Mr. Borgin, sells and also collects all kinds of strange and evil things.

Many years ago, Tom Riddle worked as a store clerk at Borgin-Bock and had the opportunity to get close to many items with special properties. As a clerk, he discovered two priceless treasures in Hepzibah Smith's possession: Helch Hufflepuff's golden cup and the particularly valuable locket that originally belonged to Salazar Slytherin.

Tom murdered Smith and blamed the house elf Hao Qi. He stole two treasures and then resigned and disappeared.

Contrary to what Fan Lin thought, he originally thought that Slytherin's locket was in Slytherin's secret room, but no one knew why these two Hogwarts relics appeared in Smith's hands.

However, this also reflects part of Knockturn Alley's way of life.

Here, wealth alone is not enough, you also need to have enough confidence.

The Malfoy family obviously belongs to such a kind of people, so expensive and powerful. Naturally, Knockturn Alley has become the first choice for dark wizards. The advantage is that as long as you will not be killed and pay enough gold coins, Knockturn Alley will definitely Will meet most of your requirements.

Imagine that you can even get the relics of the four founders of Hogwarts. In this way, Knockturn Alley is really omnipotent.

Of course, this is only part of connecting to the outside world.

There are many dark creatures such as werewolves and vampires in the UK, which are definitely frequent visitors in Knockturn Alley.

According to legend, Knockturn Alley is not just a small intersection next to Diagon Alley, it is like the first impression of Knockturn Alley.

It is directly connected to the underground. In the dark space, extending outward just below Diagon Alley, the real Knockturn Alley will appear before people's eyes.

In fact, Professor Lupine once said that the underground world is a paradise for werewolves, and the culprit who turned Lupine into a werewolf is now hiding in Knockturn Alley.

Although Fan Lin doesn't think that werewolves can rule the entire Knockturn Alley, he has to admit that the characteristics of werewolves have made them the largest group in the underground world. Wherever there is the most blood, it is like concentrating what is not available above. Like an explosion.

"Wait a minute, Hermione... I don't think the two of us look like dark wizards now." Fan Lin said, stretched out his wand and tapped Hermione on the head, "We use the Disillusionment Curse to get in."

With that said, Fan Lin took one of Hermione's hands and walked down the stairs step by step.

Different from the noise outside, as soon as he entered Knockturn Alley, a dark undertone instantly enveloped Fan Lin's heart.

It's really depressing here. Darkness will amplify a person's inner fears and desires. For dark wizards, this symbolizes freedom, but for most people, they can't experience anything except fear.

It was as if someone had cast a magic barrier. As soon as he took two steps forward, the sounds and noise from Diagon Alley were completely cut off.

"Fan Lin..." Hermione called out nervously. Just around the corner, an old witch holding a skinny hand bone was muttering something unknown.

This feels like a patient in a mental hospital, but there is nothing wrong with that. Without a strong enough soul, the negative effects of black magic will be infinitely amplified. Desire will make people struggle, and more will Man fell.

Most of the people who appear here are losers who belong to the dark wizards. Their strength is low and they cannot survive in the core circle. Naturally, they can only survive in this border zone.

"The smell of a stranger..." The wizard laughed grimly, but when he looked up, he was confused.

"Don't be nervous." Fan Lin whispered to comfort him. In fact, this was not his first time here, but every time he came to Fan Lin, he would feel very depressed.

"Memory Charm!"

A silver mist instantly invaded the wizard's brain. Not long after, the wizard who was originally guarding the intersection fell to the ground, and the dry hand bones that were originally held in his hand also fell to the side.

"Don't be nervous, Hermione," Fan Lin said comfortingly, "We are just here to take a look, and you have to believe me, I will definitely protect you."

"Okay." Hermione nodded, and one hand tightly grasped Fan Lin's palm.

...

Fortunately, the Malfoy family's ostentatious style is too conspicuous in this dilapidated outer street, platinum hair...

Oh, well, a head of long hair is still pretty good, maybe subdue Lucius and let him dress up in front of Draco?

Or Draco is also OK, anyway, the Malfoy family has a good foundation... (To be continued)
