Chapter 844 Urban Legend
Diagon Alley is the most prosperous commercial street in the wizarding world. Of course, they don't have to go through the Leaky Cauldron to enter Diagon Alley. As long as there is a fireplace at home, wizards can enter Diagon Alley through Floo powder.
Floo is a public highway system in the wizarding world. Any wizard with a fireplace at home can join the Floo system and become a part of the huge network. And Floo powder is the key to the highway. Standing in the fireplace, throw a handful of Floo powder, and clearly and accurately report your destination, and the wizard can come to the fireplace of the destination.
"Now I will take you to Gringotts." Professor McGonagall said.
In the deepest part of Diagon Alley is the goblin bank Gringotts, which seems to be crooked and twisted, and makes people suspect that it may collapse at any time.
Duran suspects that these goblins will go to the Muggle world to support puppet forces after exchanging pounds to get a large amount of raw materials. Although wizards have many magical creatures, most of the resources of plants, animals and minerals are still controlled by ordinary people.
Wizards can't always create something out of nothing. They need wood, wax, oil, flour, etc., which are not completely controlled by wizards.
After exchanging the heavy gold galleons, it's time to go shopping. Professor McGonagall doesn't have much time to accompany them, so she always takes them to buy the necessary school supplies first, and then she will leave. If Duran and Ed want to go home, Professor McGonagall thinks they should find their way home by themselves.
Customize school uniforms, buy crucibles, and of course don't forget the most important thing, the wand.
Duran feels like a foreigner. Is it because he is wearing a suit and leather shoes? It's really because of this, because Duran's dress is incompatible with wizards, so he is surrounded by wizards.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Duran." Professor McGonagall also found that many wizards looked at him impolitely: "They just rarely see ordinary people."
I really became a rare animal: "Is this the wand shop?"
"Yes, let's go in."
"Isn't this Miss Minerva?" Because Minerva is over 50 and has not married yet, she is still a lady.
"Mr. Ollivander, I bring the freshmen to buy wands."
"Oh, another cute little wizard?" Ollivander was familiar with it, and instructed Ed to raise his hand to measure the size, and then began to choose.
In the end, Ed bought a nine-inch and three-quarters long unicorn hair wand, which is a very mediocre wand, but most wizards also use unicorn hair wands.
Almost everything was bought: "If you still need a pet, the school allows you to bring an owl, cat, mouse, or toad. You can choose." "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you. The necessary supplies are already complete. You can walk around Diagon Alley by yourself, and then you can return by the long way."
"Thank you for your special companionship. Thank you very much. I think Ed and I are fine."
"My pleasure. Then please go to Platform 9 3/4 of London Railway Station on September 1st and take the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Professor McGonagall left, and Duran asked Ed: "What kind of small animal do you like?"
"I like dogs."
However, there are no dogs in the pet store, so let's buy an owl. It seems that only owls are the most useful among all pets, and the other pets are really pets.
Ed didn't object, and then Duran bought him a lot of toys and Zeros, and then went home.
Denise went home and saw those weird things, "Did you go to Diagon Alley?"
"Today I met the teacher of Hogwarts, it was really interesting."
"You must have known about this world through some means, right? Anyway, you won't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask." Anyway, this is not the first time, the Giant Amusement Park in Conan's world, this time it is Hogwarts in Academy City.
Anyway, Duran can always move things from different worlds.
"It doesn't matter." Duran didn't want to say anything, and then he took out a universal capsule: "The gene repair of Misaka sister should be almost done. Let her go to your store to help, you know that your store is now the main income of our family."
The main genetic defect of Misaka sister is that she can't distribute her emotions when she speaks, and can only use boring words to replace them. Although she is cute, she will only feel sick if you listen to her too much.
So Misaka sister has been repairing, and it is probably almost done now.
Bang, Misaka sister made a shining appearance.
"How does Misaka sister feel?" Duran asked.
"Misaka sister is full of energy." This time she did not say that Misaka sister was full of energy, but directly made a move, clenched her fist, and her expression was very weak, but very cute.
"So can you work now?"
"No problem." Misaka sister smiled and said, she looked more like a normal person.
Denise's store is not in the city center, but in an alley in the old city. When you come here at night, it still has some gloom and depression like Oliver Twist.
The name of the store is "Descendants of the Dragon". Anyway, it's just a name. Denise just said it casually. This name sounds very domineering and mysterious, so she used it.
The store sells all kinds of weird things. Denise even sells some illegal items, looking like a black and white one.
The business of a store opened in a corner like this is naturally due to its strong strength. Now the descendants of the dragon have almost become an urban legend in London. Because this store does not have any advertisements, only a signboard, and is located in a hard-to-find place, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. Moreover, there is no universal Internet, and there is no way for everyone to obtain a lot of information. The information passed down by word of mouth will always have errors, which makes it more difficult for everyone to find the 'descendants of the dragon'.
However, people who are bent on hunting for treasure still want to find it, because I heard that some people have made a lot of money by buying very valuable rare metals at very low prices, and some people have even bought antiques and made a fortune.
In short, in everyone's mouth, 'Descendants of the Dragon' seems to have become the all-powerful Taobao Holy Land. But the smallest but most crazy rumor is: as long as you pay the price, you can buy a miracle.
So some good people pin their hopes on urban legends.
Helen is such a young female reporter. With curiosity and strong energy, she began to investigate urban legends. This was her first job after graduation, and her idea was to write some weird things and then get a column position in a magazine or newspaper.
The ambition is not small, but the difficulty is also quite high, because there are many legends. Some people say that the descendants of the dragon are in the city center, and some people say that they are in the suburbs. Helen found two people who claimed to have been to Descendants of the Dragon, but in the end they were just liars.
But Helen did not give up and continued to place advertisements in newspapers in the hope of finding someone who had actually been to Descendants of the Dragon. The phone number of the apartment she rented was left in the advertisement.
