Chapter 15 Bojin Bok Store (Modified, Typos Have Been Corrected)
"Growth wand? What tasks do you need to complete?" Even if he is supposed to become a wand master, Allen is really looking forward to it. The rewards of the system are real good things.
"Task content: remove the curse on the lizard, and gain the gratitude of the lizard. Due to the increased difficulty of the task, the host can use a magic wand. The system can temporarily provide map navigation services through the magic of the secret eye, so that the host can find the lizard. There are still 15 hours before the task deadline, please work hard!"
As soon as the system finished speaking, a smoke composed of phosphor powder shining with golden light rose out of nowhere and turned into a map in front of Allen, and the people who didn't respond to it obviously couldn't see it. The crow-shaped icon represents Alan's current location. Alan's eyes kept moving up on the map, and he found a figure resembling a lizard man flickering slightly. What is even more surprising is that this icon moved quickly on the map.
"Alan, don't be in a daze, move faster, now we are going to Mrs. Malkin's to choose some clothes for you, and we have already delayed a lot of time." Ellen's mother, Morgan Le Fay, urged.
After being half-dragged by her mother to leave Ollivander, Mrs. Harris couldn't wait to drag Alan to Mrs. Malkin's gown shop. There were some advertisements on the wall windows, offering 50% off seasonal clothing. , and all robes are self-ironing and self-repairing.
Entering the store, Mrs. Morgan greeted her. She was a short and fat witch, dressed in purple, with a friendly smile: "Good morning, we meet again, dear Morgan Le Fay, what can I do for you?" help you?"
"Mrs. Malkin, please make two Hogwarts uniforms for my youngest son Allen first. Please use better materials. Please make it a constant temperature type." Morgan Le Fay pointed to the look Allen, who was wandering in the sky, actually started to study the map.
"Morgan Le Fay, your youngest son has reached school age too? Time flies, doesn't it?" Before Allen could speak, she continued, "Don't worry, I'm always Hogwarts. It is the best choice for students to buy uniforms. It is also made into a constant temperature type... so Alan's witchcraft talent is very good? I rarely see you spoiling children so much."
Allen couldn't see any beauty from the uniform black and dark Hogwarts-style wizard robes. These robes with similar shapes are far inferior to the decorative, slim-fit, loose casual, and extended versions of the robes in the adult wizarding area. Looks like a lot of variety, and after all he already has great wizard robes - wonderful wizard robes for invisibility, protection from jinxes, and changing appearances.
Mrs. Malkin asked Allen to stand on a footstool, put a black robe on him, and used a magic pin to pin his length. After measuring the size, Mrs. Malkin took out a ready-to-wear robe and waved a magic wand to thread the needle. The needle, thread and scissors kept interspersed on the robe to modify the width and length of the robe.
Looking at the store owner who had a serious expression, which was different from the lazy attitude just now, Allen recalled the coincidence he knew during the reading task at the Muggle school. The other party's name, Malkin, seemed to imply something besides a cat-like appearance. The meaning of black magic seems to come from the "grimalkin" of the three witches in "Macbeth" by the British dramatist and poet William Shakespeare during the Muggle Renaissance, but the word also has "mop", " Sloppy woman, ironic for a witch with the skills to run a clothing store in Diagon Alley.
And Ellen's mother, Morgan Le Fay, was already choosing the wizard costumes she wanted to buy in the women's section, which was the main reason why she came here in such a hurry.
"Mother, I made an appointment with Harry to go shopping together, and it's fine now, can I go to him?" Alan said while taking advantage of his mother's attention away from him - it's not good to be too young , the movement is not so free.
"Morgan Le Fay, that kid of your son's name is Harry? It can't be Harry Potter, right? Do the math,
It's time for him to enter school! "Mrs. Malkin said with a smile, but she didn't think that what Allen wanted to meet was really the famous Harry Potter. Some of them will choose to buy robes from her, maybe they can meet him, after all, the Potter family should have quite a lot of inheritance left to the boy who lived.
"Go ahead, it will take a lot longer for the robe to have a constant temperature function, but you have to remember to rush back to the Leaky Cauldron before dark. I don't have time to cook today. We will go home after dinner there." Harris The wife deliberately ignored Mrs. Malkin's question, but took out 5 gold Galleons and stuffed a handful of silver Nats into Allen's bag.
Of course, Allen didn't really go to Harry. After all, time was limited, and he still had too many secrets that he couldn't share with Harry.
"Reminder: If you want to lift the curse on the lizard, please go to Knockturn Alley first, and find the magic ball of Fowles, the goddess of luck."
"Who is Fowles, the goddess of luck? Are there any legends about gods other than Death in the Harry Potter world?" Allen was very puzzled, but time was running out, and he finally planned to wait until Hogwarts had a chance to look up magic. Shi Zai said, he immediately got up and followed the map to Knockturn Alley.
Before entering the alley, Allen made the robe change into a hood and a mask to cover his face in a dead end next to a shop, and then turned on the illusion function of the wizard robe, so that even if the illusion The body spell is invalid, as long as the other party is not caught, it should be difficult to find out his identity.
Knockturn Alley is not a suitable place for young wizards who have not yet entered school. It is full of black wizards with different personalities. All kinds of unimaginable, terrifying and cruel black magic items can be found here. In fact, even They are adult wizards. If they don't have a certain ability to protect themselves, the raw materials for those black magic items may come from one of the daredevils.
Cautiously passed the old witch who was boiling the unknown potion with strange colors, passed the thick wizard with large scars on his face, and walked through the dark and narrow alleys. Alan followed the map and came to a shop full of windows. In front of the dusty store, a blood-stained dark red plaque hung on the eaves, "Bojin Bok Store", several large black characters were arranged twistedly on the plaque.
This is the largest shop in Knockturn Alley - it specializes in selling black magic items, some of which are very dangerous. The owner, Mr. Borgin, sells them and collects all kinds of strange and evil things. The Mysterious Man, Tom Riddle, even worked at Bokin Burke many years ago, and thus had access to many items with specific properties.
As a shop clerk, he discovered two priceless treasures in Hepzibah Smith's possession: Hufflepuff's gold cup and the particularly precious locket that had originally belonged to Salazar Slytherin. Tom murdered Smith and blamed the house-elf Hotkey, stole two treasures, resigned and disappeared.
Alan, who had already arrived at the door, did not dare to go in easily. Even the small Muggle supermarkets installed sensors at the entrances and exits, not to mention the black magic shop where even Voldemort had come to work. Alan chose to quietly After waiting for a while, his luck was not bad, and soon a tall and thin wizard wearing a skull mask appeared in the alley and walked towards the store.
A few seconds later, Allen followed the masked wizard and sneaked into the store. As they entered, the opened door touched the bell installed on it, and it made a pleasant bell sound that did not match the temperament of this store.
"Fortunately, I didn't break in rashly, but I just installed a bell in such a backward way?" Allen was even a little disappointed. He thought there would be some more "magic" reminders.
The wizard took a quick look around the shop, then went straight to the counter, rang the bell, and a hunched man appeared behind the counter, stroking back his greasy hair.
"Welcome. What can I do for you?" Mr. Borgin's tone was as oily as his hair looked.
"I have a cursed necklace here, which has taken the lives of nineteen Muggles. Are you interested in seeing it?" The masked man knew that he was pretending as soon as he heard his voice.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bokin took out a pair of rust-colored leather gloves from under the counter and put them on his hands. He also took out two silver tweezers, picked up the two ends of the necklace, and carefully placed it on a tray covered with red velvet. observe. Afterwards, he took off his gloves and muttered to himself: "Now let me see your secret." He drew a magic wand from his sleeve and pointed at the necklace, saying, "Hurry up." Every opal in the necklace is Shining silver fluorescent light.
Mr. Bojin seemed to have made a judgment, and said to the masked man: "The necklace cursed by Eris does have the effect of killing people. I need to do other tests on the specific power. One hundred and twenty gold Galleons, May I?"
"Don't be kidding, Bojin, I know the market. Items cursed by Eris are very rare, and Muggle detection methods have no effect on them. Two hundred Galleons." The masked man pointed out bluntly Mr. Bojin's price-lowering behavior, and showed that he knew the market.
"You know, these black magic items are now being investigated and dealt with very strictly..."
Seeing that it wasn't the magic ball he was looking for, Alan didn't want to listen to their bargaining anymore, but started looking around: This is a spacious and dark shop, with hideous masks staring down on the wall, and various kinds of magic balls on the counter. Various human bones and rusty tines hang from the ceiling. Allen looked at the counters one by one, and found two spherical objects, but the content displayed on the label was not the magic ball that Allen was looking for, and the Xueba system did not give a hint that he had successfully found it.
At this time, the transaction between Mr. Bojin and the masked man was successful at the price of 170 Galleons. After getting the money, the masked man waved his hand and rejected the other black magic items promoted by Mr. Bojin and left quickly. Mr. Bojin In a good mood, he held the tray with one hand and pushed open a hidden door on the right side of the lobby. The inside of the door looked dark, and Allen immediately followed after a thought.
