Cardcaptor at Hogwarts
Chapter 161 A True Heirloom
"Hiss...or so they say money makes the world go round."
When he walked out of the Docu Pavilion, although the third uncle was complaining, he couldn't help but look happy:
"When I came here to pick gifts for your third aunt before, I never received such a good face, and the labor fee was waived."
The price was high, and he specially picked a big gold chain for himself.
Adam was also very happy. He bought a lot of things this time. In addition to the Docu headpiece and a bunch of magic tools and non-magic tools jewelry, he also commissioned a custom pendant to hold the resurrection stone.
Adam thought of many plans for the jewelry to hold the resurrection stone. He once liked the Ouroboros ring very much. The two resurrection stones were shrunk and embedded in the position of the eyes, and he almost chose it because he felt that the Ouroboros and the resurrection stone were very suitable - it seemed to be able to revive the dead and gain infinite life, but in fact it was cannibalizing and destroying itself.
But in the end, Adam gave up this plan. First, he was born in Badger House, and wearing a snake ring was somewhat inconsistent with his gentle and friendly temperament. Second, he had a choice that was not better than the Ouroboros, but at least not much worse.
Once when he passed by, he saw Hermione being questioned by Harry and others why they had just been in class together, and then he saw her coming downstairs, so he thought of the time converter.
Isn't it also very appropriate to turn back time and resurrect the dead? At that time, the shrunken resurrection stone will be used as the sand in the hourglass, which is simply perfect.
The hourglass-shaped, freely rotatable pendant magic tool is not difficult for the masters and designers of Diancui Pavilion. With reference to the armillary sphere and adding a little bit of design sense, the chief designer came up with a solution that met Adam's description in less than an hour.
To be honest, it is much cooler than the time converter.
Although it is strange that Adam asked not to put anything in the hourglass and asked to seal the hourglass, the customer is God, and it is not difficult to make. Only the small function requested by Adam is a little troublesome.
With Adam's money, Diancui Pavilion promised to complete the work within two days and deliver the goods to the door.
"Third uncle, where are we going next?"
"Are we going to buy something?"
Third uncle couldn't help but smack his lips. He had learned from his eldest sister that Adam was now responsible for his own profits and losses. Now he looked at Adam as if he were the God of Wealth.
How about we take Adam with us to worship on the fifth day of the first lunar month next year?
While he was impressed by Adam's ability to make money, Third uncle was not vague and listed several store names in a row.
Adam nodded:
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Third uncle was also a little excited. Although he was not the one buying, it was good to follow Adam to broaden his horizons.
Duobao Pavilion... Jiangu Pavilion... Yixinzhai... Zhaocaijinbaotang...
This stroll lasted until the evening.
"Brother Li, you really don't want to stay for dinner? Your sister-in-law's cooking is amazing!"
"Brother Shang, I really have an appointment tonight - next time! Next time I will definitely try my sister-in-law's cooking!"
After bidding farewell to Mr. Shang of Zhaocai Jinbaotang, the third uncle finally couldn't help but speak:
"Shang Tianhao has been running Zhaocai Jinbaotang for more than 40 years. I always call him Uncle Shang when I see him. Now you call him Brother?"
"Hey, as the saying goes, 'The deeper the routine, the more people take it seriously'. Does it matter what you call me?"
The bright smile on Adam's face disappeared, and his expression returned to calm:
"It's not what you say, but what you do. However, this brother Shang is really good. Not only did he not overcharge too much, he also gave me a pair of such rare special magical animals."
Although he looked like a fat sheep and had no clear understanding of the prices in Hong Kong Island before, Adam, who loved cards, could sense other people's emotions, and he also learned some Legilimency...
What? Where did you learn Legilimency?
We have to thank a mysterious person who has almost searched the forbidden book area.
"Although this golden toad is rare, I don't want it even if it's given to me for free."
Uncle San looked at the three-legged toad that was slightly larger than a thumb and golden all over, and couldn't help shuddering, as if he was looking at something terrifying.
Legend has it that golden toads can bring wealth and treasure. Shang Tianhao named his store Zhaocai Jinbaolou because of a pair of golden toads. In recent years, he has been modest in saying that he makes a fortune every day, which is enviable.
But most people who envy Shang Tianhao don't know that the golden toad actually has another name - the three-legged gold-eating beast!
It's not an exaggeration, but the golden toad really feeds on pure gold!
It can only be said that some magical animals are rare for a reason...
According to Shang Tianhao himself, if he hadn't met the pair of golden toads when he was a child, he would not have taken the risk of starting a business and opening a store. How could he afford to raise two golden toads if he worked properly!
Of course, after all these years, the golden toad should have at least reproduced several generations... Fortunately, the golden toad only lays one egg at a time. If it lays tens of thousands of eggs at a time like a real toad, even if there is oil at home, it can't afford it.
By the way, the golden tadpoles of the golden toad are relatively easy to raise when they are young. One gram of gold ground into powder can be eaten for three or four days, but once it completely turns into a golden toad, it will eat nearly four grams of gold a day, and its appetite will continue to increase as it grows.
Thinking of this, Adam couldn't help laughing.
No wonder Shang Tianhao looked relieved when he gave him this pair of golden toads, and he also thoughtfully helped him prepare the procedures for taking the golden toads abroad. The tails of this pair of golden toads have not yet completely turned into the third leg. If they are raised for a while, their appetite will probably start to increase sharply.
Fortunately, although he has no oil, he has the magic stone, so the golden toad will not starve with him.
Adam touched the two golden toads in his palm with his thumb. They felt smooth and hard like pure gold. Even the small bumps on their backs looked like gold beads. They didn't feel greasy like ordinary toads. Instead, they looked very good.
In addition to having to eat pure gold, golden toads are really easy to keep. They have no requirements for temperature and humidity. They can be kept directly in fish tanks or completely without water. They can move freely in sub-zero temperatures or in fires, and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all when they grow up.
Adam really liked it more and more. He took out a glass bottle and put the two little guys in it. He also threw in a few coins given by Brother Shang and closed the lid.
He was one step closer to his grand wish of collecting magical animals from all over the world.
Adam thought about it. Now, in addition to the golden toad, basilisk, acromantula, bird snake, runes, scorpion tail beast, and the unicorn, hippogriff, moon idiot, niffler, color-changing snail and purple toad in the secret base in the forbidden forest, he still lacked... many, many magical animals.
Adam's excitement just rising suddenly disappeared again.
"It doesn't matter, hard work will always pay off."
One day he will collect all the magical animals in the world!
Third uncle sighed, thinking that Adam was talking about making money to raise golden toads, and patted Adam's shoulder encouragingly.
At this time, Adam suddenly raised his head and looked at the alley in the distance.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Third uncle looked over there, and there was no one there.
After a few seconds, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking at Adam and clapping his hands with a smile:
"As expected of Mr. Li who spent a fortune to buy the Jingzhe Thunder Wood and bought all the treasures in the store, the child was able to carry the gold through the busy city without any damage, he is really capable."
After saying that, the man looked at Li Chunren who took out the magic sword:
"No need to be so hostile, I just came here to give you an invitation..."
The man looked at Adam and smiled slightly:
"Mr. Li has bought a lot of good things these days, I wonder if you are interested in the real heirlooms?"
