Chapter 91 Conflict and Probing Eyes
When the light reappeared in front of his eyes, Ivan found himself in a brand new place. It was probably in a store. The light transmittance was very poor and the surrounding area looked a bit dark. There were transparent boxes placed on the cabinets. Glass cover.
The cover closest to Ivan contained a small skull. It looked like it had undergone some special treatment, with deep scratches on both sides.
There are also all kinds of strange things in the other glass covers. Withered human hands, blood-stained poker chips, jagged chandeliers, each one is weirder than the last.
After Ivan waited for a while, the faint blue flame rose again in the fireplace. Asia came belatedly and put the wand in her hand back into her sleeve.
"Did you attack them?" Ivan noticed this and wondered if Asia was looking for trouble with those drunkards.
"What are you thinking? That's the Leaky Cauldron. If you dare to cause trouble there, people from the Ministry of Magic will be here the next moment." Asia shook her head.
But Ivan didn't believe that a dark wizard could make any difference if he wanted to assassinate a few drunkards.
However, these drunkards brought their own fault. Judging from what he remembered about Asia's methods, they would not be killed, but they would suffer a lot.
"Don't think blindly, follow me!" Asia said with a hint of warning, then took a step forward, and Ivan quickly followed behind.
Jingle Bell,
When the two of them crossed the cabinet, the wind chime hanging on the door panel started to shake at the entrance of the store. A hunchbacked middle-aged wizard playing with strange spherical objects at the counter said in a hoarse voice.
"Someone is here again, who is it this time?"
"Mr. Borgin, it's me." Asia walked over from behind the cabinet and said calmly.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Hals." The store owner Caractacus Bock seemed a little uninterested and sat down lazily and leaned on his chair.
"You guys are coming in and out like this, making my fireplace dirty. It seems I will have to charge for it next time."
"How about putting the transfer station in Knockturn Alley at my place?" Asia said with a smile.
"Forget it, that's not something you can move casually. If it's dirty, it'll be dirty." Bock tugged at the corner of his mouth, and a gold tooth could be vaguely seen embedded in his mouth.
While the two were chatting, Ivan was also looking at the owner of the Bojinbok Magic Shop in front of him.
He looks to be about forty or fifty years old, with greasy hair that is neatly taken care of. There are two dark black rings on his slender and gaunt hands, and he is wearing an all-too-common black wizard robe. , except that he is always hunched over, he looks no different from ordinary wizards. He also speaks softly and looks harmless.
However, whether judging from the original work or the memory in Ivan's mind, this is obviously not an ordinary character.
You know, even the famous Dark Lord worked here when he was young.
Perhaps sensing Ivan's gaze, Bock did not talk more about the previous topic, but turned his gaze to him,
"Is this little Hals? It's the first time I've seen you. Did you see anything you like in the store?"
Bock placed the strange spherical object he was playing with in front of Ivan. After getting closer, Ivan could clearly see that it was an eye. It seemed that some kind of magic had been applied to it. The black eyeballs rotated freely, and Ivan looked at each other.
The moment they looked at each other, Ivan felt faintly dizzy, and then subconsciously used Occlumency to regain consciousness.
Bang!
A blue light flashed, and the eye was immediately knocked out and fell directly against the door frame.
"What are you going to do?" Asia's face was very ugly. At some point, she had pulled out the wand and pointed it at Bock's head. There was a faint black light at the top of the wand, as if some dark magic was brewing.
"Don't be angry, I was just joking. You should know the Exploring Eye." Bock used the flying spell to call back the Exploring Eye, waved his hand and said apologetically, but he was not affected by the wand at all. He pointed at Ivan with a panicked look.
"Besides, isn't Mr. Hals okay?"
Asia turned to look at Ivan, and saw that he shook his head at her with a relaxed look, and then put away the wand with a gloomy face.
This is also related to the fact that Asia understands the effect of the Exploration Eye. If this is a destructive magic item, then she will never take it for granted.
Ivan looked relaxed on the surface, but felt a sense of fear in his heart. Knockturn Alley looked more dangerous than he imagined. He almost got killed, but this was still under the protection of Asia.
If possible, Ivan would like to demolish this place with Asia.
But it is extremely unwise to fight with a shopkeeper in a black magic shop. No one knows how many trigger-type magic items the other party has placed in the shop. What's more, Bock is simply confident, so Ivan takes the initiative to pretend to be indifferent. It seemed that this conflict was stopped.
"As an apology, I can give this gadget to little Hals." Bock looked uninterested from beginning to end, but at this time he was somewhat curious about Ivan and could resist the probing eyes. There are many wizards, but he has only seen this one at such a young age.
"No, I'm not interested." Ivan shook his head.
"Put away those tricks of yours." Asia didn't give a good look. She really wasn't in the mood to stay here any longer. She grabbed Ivan's wrist and walked out of the door.
"What's the purpose of that eye-like thing just now? Is it called an exploratory eye?" Ivan asked after leaving the door.
At the same time, Ivan stared around and found that this was a narrow alley. The walls on both sides were made of red bricks. However, it was obvious that there was a lack of care here. There was some green moss growing on the bricks on the right side. Some of the red bricks have even been partially corroded.
You can still vaguely see some garbage piled up in the corner of the street, and a foul smell even wafts here.
"The Exploring Eye can confuse the mind of the person looking at it and put the other person into a state of trance. The questioner will answer whatever he asks." Asia looked at Ivan sideways for a while and explained aloud.
A magic prop version of Veritaserum?
Ivan felt envious for a while, and the Exploring Eye seemed to be able to be activated just by looking at it. It was really a good thing for sinister people.
"What? Are you regretting not asking for it?" Asia asked.
"No, I don't think that Bock would be so kind." Ivan shook his head. He thought the thing was good, but he was not stupid enough to accept something from a strange dark wizard. There might be some trap hidden in it.
