Chapter 313 Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley

Diagon Alley is the most famous and prosperous commercial street in the British magic circle.

Many top-tier brands in the international magic circle have branches or flagship stores in Diagon Alley.

Unlike the very modern buildings in London's Muggle world, the buildings in Diagon Alley still maintain the style from the 15th to 16th centuries, with a very ancient charm.

Due to the scarce total population of wizards, the streets of Diagon Alley are not long. It only takes more than ten minutes to walk across and enter another alley not far away - the Overturn Alley.

Compared to the diagonal alleys of international commercial streets that are open to everyone, the Overturned Alley is more like a black market.

A large number of black magic shops that live in the darkness of the magic world are located here, and many taboo materials that are not allowed to be traded can be purchased here.

Xin Sheng has always believed in one sentence that existence is reasonable.

This is the problem in business. Only when there is demand can there be supply, and only when there is transaction can there be murder.

Since the Overturned Alley has not yet been banned by the Ministry of Magic, it proves that it has its own value and cannot be completely killed with one blow.

Although there are many shops in Diagon Alley, Xin Sheng really hasn't found a suitable shop for Caibao.

As a last resort, the three of them had to enter the upturned alley next door and found a shop called Bojin Boke to sell the treasure and exchange it for Jin Jialong.

There is a saying that wealth is not revealed, especially in this black market where fish and dragons are mixed.

As soon as he walked out of the Bojin Boke store, Xin Sheng and his party were targeted by the ill-intentioned guy wandering in the overturned alley.

The Ministry of Magic can detect abnormal magic fluctuations throughout the UK, but that's all.

They cannot accurately determine who emits the magic fluctuations.

In the Diagonal Alley and the Overturned Alley where wizards gather in large numbers, it is normal to have magic fluctuations. As long as there is no big mess, the Ministry of Magic will treat it as if it has not seen it.

This unwritten unspoken rule gives some illegal people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes.

There are usually no accidents in Diagon Alley with better security, but it is hard to say that black market streets like the Overturn Alley are like.

Natiya used Hawkeye technique to observe a small group of strangers following behind the three. Their bodies were covered in black robes, and even their heads were covered with hoods, so they could not see their faces.

"pungent."

“I’ve ‘see’.”

They exchanged glances with Natiya, and the two of them made magic seal gestures at the same time.

‘Adon, Igni.’

Under Xin Sheng's special cover, the magic trap buried in the ground was not discovered by the person behind him who had bad intentions.

The three of them accelerated their pace towards Diagon Alley, and the people in the black robes who were worried that the fat sheep would run away also accelerated.

"Sher! Boom!"

As the magic trap was triggered, the man in black robe who was caught off guard was covered in dust by the exploded compound seal.

Because he was not familiar with the place, Xin Sheng and Natiya did not make any decisions. They just wanted to teach these guys a lesson and get rid of their tracking.

Facts have proved that gangsters who can take root in black markets like the Crush Alley are very conscious of the current situation.

After a little loss, they knew that the target had discovered themselves and it didn't seem easy to mess with.

When Xin Sheng and the other two returned to Diagon Alley, the men in black robes simply retreated to the shadow of the Overturned Alley and stopped tracking.

Natiya curled her lips and complained: "It seems that even in such a peaceful world, the illegal people at the bottom of society still exist."

Xin Sheng smiled and agreed, "Isn't this a matter of course? The peace of the environment does not mean that there are no class contradictions and disputes in the world."

"If the world is truly harmonious, it will not be called peace, but a utopia that only exists in the ideal."

None of the three of them are children and will not believe in the fantasy-based binary management theory that is either black or white.

In Xin Sheng's view, the world is not just black and white, but most of the time it is gray between the two.

"The money is obtained. If you have anything you want to buy, just take advantage of it. Jin Jialong can handle it."

"Oh~ by the way."

Xin Sheng suddenly remembered something: "In order to better integrate into the magic world, we'd better choose our own magic wand first."

"Wand?"

Xiri tilted her head and recalled: "Is it the kind of crutch-like thing Avarak uses?"

"No, that's called a staff. Although it's similar in purpose, the size of the two is very different."

Xin Sheng waved his hand and signaled the two to follow: "It's hard to describe clearly in words. Come with me, just see you with your own eyes and you will understand."

Ollivander's Wand Shop, the only wand shop in Diagon Alley, is also one of the most well-known and oldest stores in the UK.

There is also a line of big words written next to the store’s name sign.

"Selling high-quality magic wands since 382 Bc."

If Xin Sheng remembers correctly, the Romans landed on the Isle of Great Britain around 55 BC, and the Anglo-Saxons rose even further in the 5th century AD.

Before the Romans landed, the Isle of Great Britain was the Celtics.

The history of the Ollivander Wand Shop can even be traced to the rise of Britannia, and it is said that even provided wand services to the famous wizard Merlin.

On Earth where Xin Sheng grew up, the legend of King Arthur is considered to be just a fabricated story and does not exist in itself.

But in the world of Harry Potter, King Arthur is undoubtedly a real person. Merlin, who was widely worshipped by British wizards, is King Arthur's court wizard.

Even in the late 20th century, the British Ministry of Magic's Medal of Honor was still named after Merlin.

When entering the store, a crisp sound came from the bell hanging on the door, and the old man buried behind the counter immediately raised his head.

"Welcome to choose a magic wand?"

The old man is Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop. He has messy white hair and a face full of old-fashioned spots. He looks like he is not young last year.

"Yes, we three each need a magic wand."

"Okay, please come with me."

Although there are many wand makers in the UK, Ollivander's craftsmanship is undoubtedly the most recognized.

Even many foreign wizards travel thousands of miles to Diagon Alley to buy a wand that suits them best from Ollivand.

The function of the wand is to guide the magic and assist the wizard in completing the casting process.

The wand is usually made of wood material, driven by magical matter as its core.

In theory, a wizard can release spells without holding a wand, but that requires extremely high spell attainments.

The invention of the magic wand greatly lowered the threshold for human wizards to get started, allowing humans to survive from the crisis-ridden ancient times.

According to Xin Sheng, in the ancient times of the Harry Potter world, humans were not the masters of the earth, and magical creatures like fairies were the masters of nature.

The existence of the magic wand is an indelible contribution to the existence of the magic wand to be able to open up a brilliant civilization unique to humans on the wild land full of magical creatures.

It is not uncommon for adults to come to buy a magic wand. What is unusual is that three adults come to the wand shop together to shop.

According to Ollivander's observation, the three men had no habit of using magic wands before, which made him feel very puzzled.

Ollivander is old and has received countless guests. He will not ask what he shouldn't ask.

There were a large number of wand boxes piled up in the entire store. As Olivand searched for the wand, Natiya and Xili looked around curiously.

"So this is a magic wand. Such a small weapon should be very convenient to collect."

Ollivand deafed the conversation between the three, and he found a light brown wand from one of the shelves and handed it to Xin Sheng.
