Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After leaving Ollivander's Wand Shop, Xiang Nan and his mother separated from the Evans family.

The Evans family went to Flourish and Blotts to buy textbooks, went to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop to buy school uniforms, and went to Partridge's Cauldron Shop to buy cauldrons...

Xiang Nan and his mother could only go to the second-hand robe shop to buy robes.

There was no other way, because the economic conditions of the two families were here.

Irene took Xiang Nan to the second-hand robe shop, which was full of all kinds of old robes, dresses, hats, shoes, gloves, cloaks, etc. Almost everything was outdated and exuded a strange smell.

Xiang Nan and his mother were not the only customers here. In fact, there were many customers in this store. It can be seen that there are many wizards with difficult lives in the magical world.

"I want to buy three sets of plain work robes for freshmen, a black peaked hat for daytime wear, a pair of protective gloves made of dragon skin, and a black silver-buttoned winter cloak." Irene said to the owner.

"Go look for it in that pile yourself. Each piece costs only one Galleon." The shopkeeper pointed to a pile of old clothes in the east. Several people were already looking for it there.

When Irene saw it, she quickly took Xiang Nan over and started looking through the pile of clothes.

Try to find something in good condition and not too worn out. But it's not easy, because everyone is thinking about it.

Xiang Nan was quick-witted and found a black robe that was 80% new. He pulled it out of the pile of clothes.

Just as he was about to give it to Irene, a dry hand like an eagle's claw grabbed the clothes.

"I saw it first." The owner of the hand, a woman with tattered clothes, abscesses on her face, and moss in her teeth, said loudly to Xiang Nan.

"I got it first." Xiang Nan said without giving in.

"You stinky boy, are you going to snatch it from me?" The woman threatened Xiang Nan with a ferocious face.

"Let go, don't try to scare my son." Irene stepped forward and blocked her son behind her.

"Do you want to fight me?" The woman took out her wand and threatened.

Irene was stunned. She didn't bring a wand because Tobias didn't like her to cast magic.

Seeing this, the woman became more and more proud and chuckled, "You don't even have a wand, and you still want to protect your child? Get out of here!"

Irene blushed, but she didn't give up. Although she was gloomy and not good at socializing, her son and husband were still everything to her.

"Tongtongshi..." The woman was about to cast a spell.

At this moment, Xiang Nan took the lead and shouted, "Expelliarmus!"

The wand in the woman's hand slipped out of her hand in an instant, flew high, and was caught by Xiang Nan.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene.

First, Xiang Nan was still a freshman, but he could actually use such a profound spell as "Expelliarmus"; second, a child who had not yet entered school could actually defeat an adult; third, the child didn't have a wand in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just cast a spell without a wand. And wandless casting is usually only possible for masters.

Irene also looked at her son in surprise. She didn't expect that her son's strength had reached such a strong point.

The woman who was disarmed by Xiang Nan was embarrassed and frightened at this moment. She didn't expect that Xiang Nan, a child, could actually defeat her.

"Don't make trouble in the store." At this time, the owner of the second-hand robe shop came over and said to maintain order.

Xiang Nan handed the seized wand to the owner, "We didn't make trouble. We didn't start it."

"I saw it all." The owner nodded, then looked at the woman, "Get out, I don't welcome you here."

The woman didn't have a wand, just like a wild dog without fangs. She didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and had to walk out in disgrace. After she walked out of the store, the owner threw her wand back to her.

Then he looked at Xiang Nan with admiration and said, "I have never seen a child as outstanding as you. All the robes, gloves, cloaks, and hats you bought from me today are half price."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.

...

Xiang Nan then selected three robes of good quality, a pointed hat, a pair of dragon leather gloves, and a cloak. Because they were all half-price, he saved three galleons.

After buying the clothes, Xiang Nan and his mother walked out of the second-hand robe shop.

"Severus, you just performed very well." Irene looked at her son with approval.

Just now, her son not only showed super strength, but also chose to stand up bravely to protect her when she was threatened. This made her very happy.

"Thank you, Mom, I don't want her to hurt you." Xiang Nan nodded.

"I want to reward you." Irene touched her son's head and said, "Do you want to eat ice cream, or go to the joke shop to buy some toys?"

"If possible, Mom, I want to go to the bookstore." Xiang Nan suggested.

He is not interested in eating and playing. He wants to learn more knowledge and work hard to improve his strength.

"Okay, let's go to Flourish and Blotts. With the three galleons you saved, we should be able to buy a book." Irene nodded and agreed.

All the books sold in Flourish and Blotts are new, and the price is more than two Galleons. Three Galleons can only buy a new book.

"Mom, let's go to the second-hand store to buy second-hand books, so that we can buy more books." Xiang Nan advised. For him, it doesn't matter whether the book is new or old, the key is the knowledge inside.

And to be honest, the books in Flourish and Blotts are all published through formal channels. They will be reviewed before publication, and there will not be too strong books.

On the contrary, the books in the second-hand store are varied, and there may be treasures among them.

Irene nodded.

Xiang Nan and his mother then came to the second-hand shop on the corner of the street, and saw all kinds of second-hand goods in it.

For example, tattered wands, wobbly scales, cauldrons stained with medicine, patched cloaks, and of course piles of old books.

Xiang Nan then walked in and slowly searched through the old books.

These old books are really varied. In addition to the textbooks needed by Hogwarts over the years, such as "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "Standard Spells: Level 2", "Magic Potion and Potions", etc.,

there are also books like "Seeing the Future through the Mist", "Quidditch Origin", "Guide to Raising Dragons", "Terrible Animals Deep Underground", "How the Prefect Gains Power", "How to Correctly Remove Household Pests", and so on.

But these books are either related to magical animals, divination, or Quidditch, and they are not the books Xiang Nan is looking for.

He wants to find practical books about advanced magic, magic theory, and cutting-edge magic.

However, Xiang Nan did not give up easily and continued to search. Fortunately, he carefully stacked up every book he had read. So even though he kept picking, the shopkeeper didn't drive him away.

As Xiang Nan was flipping through the books, he suddenly saw a bamboo slip with six big characters written in seal script on it: "The True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism".

He quickly took it and unfolded it, and saw that it was densely packed with ancient seal characters. Fortunately, Xiang Nan was well-educated and basically recognized all these characters.
