Big Boss In The Harry Potter World

The location of Slugger's Pharmacy is remote, deep in Diagon Alley, and Solim now has to go back to the entrance of Knockturn Alley.

Knockturn Alley is actually not as scary as adults say. As long as you understand the rules here, and add a little bit of luck, generally speaking, trouble will not find you. Knockturn Alley can actually be considered lively. It’s not like what adults say to scare their children: it’s cold, humid, and dark wizards are everywhere. Children will be arrested by dark wizards as soon as they enter Knockturn Alley.

The entrance of Knockturn Alley is directly opposite to Gringotts. This is the busiest area and the place with the largest flow of people. Most of the time, an underage wizard who has exposed himself will not have any major problems as long as he does not go deep into Knockturn Alley. Solim didn't want to go deep into Knockturn Alley either. Elrond had told him about Knockturn Alley before, so Solim still knew about Knockturn Alley. what's the matter.

Before entering Knockturn Alley "983", Solim drank a bottle of ageing potion. Aging Potion is easy to get, and Solim will make it himself. After using the aging agent, Solim not only grew taller, but his voice also matured, so that he would not reveal the fact that he was an underage wizard when he opened his mouth.

The entrance to Knockturn Alley is very narrow. This entrance is in the middle of the gap between two shops. Only two people can walk side by side. And sometimes there are some down-and-out wizards sitting on the steps leading down from the intersection. more crowded.

Solim is now covered under his wizard robe, and the hood has been lowered to cover his face. Since the wizard robe is a high-end garment from the Outer Clothing Store, there are several practical small items on this wizard robe. The magic is on it, one of which is that when you put the hood down, no matter how anyone looks at it, you only see a black blob. You get what you pay for, and the robe cost Solim fifty Galleons at the time.

Along the wall, Solim walked out of the long and narrow entrance of Knockturn Alley smoothly, and came to the real business place. Compared with Diagon Alley outside, Knockturn Alley is indeed a bit dark. But it’s no wonder that Knockturn Alley is much lower than Diagon Alley, so when you look up, all you see are the shops in Diagon Alley——they take all the light away. blocked.

The shops in Knockturn Alley are very different from the shops in Diagon Alley outside. The shops here don’t have clearly marked prices. The price of any item is floating. If you behave like a beginner, just wait Get slaughtered. There are even shops selling poisons here, all kinds of special poisons for magical animals or people, this shop can meet your needs.

Most interestingly, there is also a wand shop in Knockturn Alley. But this shop is not self-made like Ollivander, the shop's wands are obtained through illegal means, digging wizards' graves, stealing, snatching, whatever the means, this shop can always Get wands to sell, of course, wands are also accepted here, usually after a killing, some not so decent wizards will come here to sell wands for money.

But when it comes to the most famous shop in Knockturn Alley, it has to be Bojinbok Magic Store. This is the largest shop in Knockturn Alley. It specializes in selling black magic items, some of which are very dangerous. The owner, Mr. Bock, also collects all kinds of strange and evil things while selling them.

The reason why this shop is famous is not what it sells, but the surname—Bock.

The Bock family is an ancient pure-blood family. Solim has seen the pure-blood pedigree, and he knows that Harry's godfather, the great-grandfather of Sirius, is Phineas Black, the most unpopular Hogwarts school history The headmaster's daughter married Herbert Bock, who was Borgin Bock's father. If it really counted, Sirius would have to call Borgin Bock his uncle. Being able to attract the attention of the famous and so-called "oldest and purest" Black family, so as to marry, the energy of the Bork family can be glimpsed from it.

But here is Knockturn Alley, and there are plenty of lawless and risk-taking wizards here. They don't care what your surname is. Killing and stealing goods is commonplace for these people. The shops that can make a name for themselves in Knockturn Alley, if they don't have some means, will have closed their doors long ago. It's not that no one had the idea of ​​Bojinbok's magic shop, but these wizards who put it into action disappeared quietly, and as time passed, no one thought about it again.

But today, Solim didn't intend to go there when he came to Knockturn Alley. He was going to a shop called "Magic Lavis", which deals in alchemy items.

Solim pushed open the door and walked into the slightly dark shop.

"Hello, what do you need?" A thin man with a sullen face came over and looked Solim up and down. That's what it's like to do business in Knockturn Alley: the shopkeeper has to weigh up the buyer and see if he can make a killing. At the same time, they are also very cautious, for fear of offending some ruthless characters. Usually, it's not like there are no guys who pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger at the beginning, but show their true colors after being slaughtered, and in turn slaughter the store.

Solim didn't pay attention to the man's gaze, "I need a tool that can break through the anti-magic skin, a dagger or a saw blade will do. Do you have any?"

After watching for a long time, I didn't see Solim's face. Seeing that there were no flaws, the thin man nodded and said, "Come with me, what kind of magical creature are you going to cut?"

"On the same level as the black dragon..." Solim followed, but kept a certain distance from the man in front.

"Black Dragon? Hmph, you are quite courageous. You dare to go to the Hesidia Islands and poach on the territory of the McFasty family." The man walking in front said so.

This wizard obviously misunderstood what Solim meant. He thought that Solim came here to buy tools for poaching in the Hesidia. In the family's hereditary territory, as long as they found poachers, they would be killed on the spot without discussion. But poachers are still emerging in endlessly. In the final analysis, the words are still used: people make money and birds die for food.

Solim didn't try to explain the misunderstanding, but instead threatened: "Don't let me hear the wind outside, or you will look good to me."

It is also impossible for Solim to tell him the truth. Is it possible to tell him that I am going to cut the skin of a thousand-year-old basilisk? The consequences are much more serious than poaching a black dragon. Although it is illegal to breed basilisks, the method of breeding basilisks is no secret. But in the magic world, almost no one would cultivate basilisks, mainly because they couldn't afford to wait. It takes at least three hundred years for a basilisk to be useful, but how many people can afford to wait for three hundred years? Isn’t it cheap for others if you cultivate it yourself? If news of a thousand-year-old basilisk spreads, what will the consequences be? It is very serious, and the Presbyterian Church may even intervene.

The Millennium Basilisk is full of treasures, all its internal organs and organs are priceless treasures. In some ways, the thousand-year-old basilisk at Hogwarts is more precious than Dumbledore's phoenix. Although phoenixes are rare, there are a few wizards in Europe who have pets like phoenixes, but the thousand-year-old basilisk...

4.2 Solim believes that killing the basilisk so easily is unforgivable. What's the difference between killing and pulling out a tooth? Solim wants to maximize the value of the basilisk, but the specific operation needs to be discussed in the long run. But that didn't stop Solim from preparing some things that might come in handy: tools for cutting snake skin, for example.

If you want to cut the skin of the thousand-year-old basilisk, or the scales, ordinary things will not work, you must use special alchemy items, but what Solim can think of is similar to the scales of the thousand-year-old basilisk, that is, Only the scales of the black dragon are left.

"This," the skinny wizard took out a strangely shaped dagger, "it can cut open the belly of a dragon, five hundred Galleons, no bargaining."

"What I want to cut is the dragon scale. If I cut the dragon's belly, what else will I come to you for?" Solim said disdainfully, "If you treat me as a fool, then I will treat you as a dead person. After you think about it, we will talk to you again." I spoke."
