Chapter 1336 Goodbye Greyback
"Finally I know where Mundungus got all those illegal cauldrons. Reading at zero o'clock," said Hermione, looking at the wide variety of cauldrons. "They seem to be very popular in this place."
"Not just the crucible, all unknown and illegal things are very popular here." Ivan said.
The central trading area of the underground world is a place where stolen goods are sold.
The quality of the things sold here is not guaranteed, good and bad are mixed, but the price is very low, about one-third of the normal price.
Not only that, but you can also bargain, and there will always be someone willing to buy.
The only thing to note is that it is illegal to buy these things without being discovered by others.
Therefore, the wizards here all wear hoods like Ivan and the others to cover their faces.
Affected by the current situation, this place is similar to Knockturn Alley, and there are almost no people outside the business.
Seeing Aiwen and the four of them coming, many wizards gathered around and enthusiastically sold their products.
In addition to the daily sundries, there are also many strange things.
For example, there are more than 20 varieties and hundreds of cockroaches for sale.
They are housed in carefully woven cages, making constant rustling sounds, and crawling around in the cages, which make people's scalp tingle.
The point is this guy not only sells, he also recycles cockroaches...
Ron asked for a long time before this paving, to find out the price of each cockroach.
If Hermione hadn't stopped him, he would definitely have bought a few cockroaches to go back.
Because the other party told Ron that he could buy rare species of cockroaches from him to reproduce, and he would recover these cockroach eggs or larvae at a certain price.
"This deal is a good deal, as long as you invest ten silver Sickles, you can make money continuously." Ron said, "Cockroaches have a strong reproductive ability, as long as you put them there, they will reproduce by themselves. All I need to do is give them some bread crumbs on time every day."
"That's a nice idea," said Hermione sarcastically. "Are you going to keep them in your bedroom?"
"No, you can find a classroom with no one."
"First of all, the professors won't allow you to do this. Secondly, you can't guarantee that this guy didn't lie to you. If you come back with a lot of cockroaches, what are you going to do if he doesn't give you money?" Hermione said, " In the end, it was really disgusting to do that, and I don't think Lavender would have dared to go near you if he knew about it."
Facing Hermione's question, Ron didn't know how to answer, he looked at Ivan and Harry for help.
What on earth does this guy think, does he think that Ivan and Harry will support him in raising cockroaches?
"Hermione is right, there are many liars in this place, we must be vigilant." Aiwen said.
Harry nodded, glad Hermione stopped Ron, he didn't want a lot of cockroaches in his bedroom.
To be honest, just thinking about this kind of thing is disgusting enough...
Next to the roach merchant, a wizard is selling a bunch of junk he got from nowhere. He sold them in bundles, and he sold them in bundles for a copper knut, and he told them that jewels and gold had been found in them.
If you want to make money, you can try it.
But the strange thing is that he couldn't explain clearly, if he packed the rubbish himself, why didn't he find those jewels and gold?
"It's all a scam," Hermione concluded.
This sentence may be a bit general, the goods here are not all deceptive, there are many genuine items, as long as you can afford it, you can buy them.
Moving on, they saw many vendors selling spell-casting ingredients, magic artifacts, and dark creature babies.
These are the main commodities in the underground world, and they are all illegal items that cannot be bought above. Among them, there are mostly black magic products. Although the number and types of black magic products here are far less than those in Knockturn Alley, the price is also much lower.
Moreover, there are many things in it that are prohibited from circulation by the Ministry of Magic.
There is a minimum standard for products that can be sold in Knockturn Alley, but there are no restrictions here.
The dangerous goods don't stop there, even Muggle guns and weapons are sold here.
They are known as powerful Muggle weapons and, if used correctly, can have the effect of a Killing Curse.
The disadvantage is that it is easily restricted by other magic, and the operation is more complicated, requiring special training to use it.
The sales of guns are mediocre, and any dark wizard who can spend money on this thing can cast Avada Kedavra at will.
If a law enforcement team from Mr. Weasley's department came here, most of the merchandise on these vendors would be confiscated.
Of course, the underground world has a strict early warning system, and it is more likely that he will not be able to catch anything.
By the time he came down with his people, these traders had already got the news and ran deeper underground to hide.
On the walls around the central area, there are passages at intervals.
These passages are the entrances to other crypts deep underground, and the structures inside are intricate.
Without a lot of manpower, material resources and time, it is impossible to find the wizard hiding inside.
This place has not existed for a day or two, and the Ministry of Magic does not have so much energy to manage them now.
"Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this place is pretty good? Everything is very cheap, and barter is accepted." Ron said, "We can buy things here when we start school..."
"These are all illegal!" Hermione reminded, "and the quality is not guaranteed."
"That's the charm of them. Mundungus has made a lot of money relying on this place..."
"Okay, you two, we're not here for shopping." Harry said quickly, "We need to find out where the werewolves are in the crypt before we can find Malfoy, so hurry up and ask someone..."
"Don't be so troublesome." Ivan said, raising his wand high, "They have come to find us."
The owner of the bar must have tipped off the news. It took less than five minutes for the four of Aiwen and the others to come in. More than 20 wizards rushed out of a passage on the bottom floor, and Greyback was the leader.
It was the first time Ivan had seen this werewolf since the attack a few years ago.
He was stronger than other wizards, with shaggy gray hair and beard, pointed yellow teeth, and his face was full of abscesses and corroded marks, which made him look particularly hideous and terrifying.
He exuded a terrifying aura all over his body, and there was also a strange smell mixed with dust, sweat, and blood.
"My God, it's Greyback, the king of werewolves!" the wizards exclaimed, "Run away."
It was obvious that all wizards were afraid of him.
Seeing Greyback, the vendors who had gathered around Aiwen quickly dispersed.
With terrified expressions on their faces, as if seeing a ghost, they turned and ran away in a hurry, not even caring about their own goods... 8)
