Diagon Alley has many shops of all kinds, including potions, crucibles, Quidditch, clothing, stationery, bookstores... Almost everything related to life is sold, which is equivalent to the commercial street in the wizarding world.
But for Zhang Ziyu, what he is really interested in are Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, pet shops... some shops related to magic and magical creatures.
Zhang Ziyu puts the last priority of some shops that are more entertainment or lifestyle-oriented and use them as tourism.
With about two thousand gold galleons in hand, Zhang Ziyu first went to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop to customize a few clothes, and then went straight to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to start a large purchase.
Flourishes and Blotts is a well-known large bookstore in the British wizarding world, and it has a lot of books on magic knowledge.
Zhang Ziyu bought almost all the books on standard spells from levels 1 to 6, transfiguration guides, potions, etc., and a large part of them were traditional Hogwarts student textbooks and belonged to magic knowledge.
fundamental part of the system.
There are also slightly more in-depth books on transfiguration or certain spells, which are also sold there.
In addition, books related to the history of magic were also among Zhang Ziyu's items, and he bought every one of them.
Books about magical beasts, The Book of Monsters and Newt's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Zhang Ziyu was the first to get them.
To others, this thing is an introduction to magical creatures, but to Zhang Ziyu, it is a hunting guide.
After various selections, Zhang Ziyu bought almost all of them, except for popular books such as novels, anecdotes, and celebrity autobiographies.
The store manager of Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore was extremely happy. Although it was not one of the most popular and most expensive books, it could not hold up to the large volume, which included two to three hundred books.
Zhang Ziyu spent almost a thousand gold galleons to buy these books, and half of his ill-gotten gains disappeared.
After receiving so many books, Zhang Ziyu was a little bit dumbfounded, because a standard magic textbook was not one-tenth as expensive as a Lockhart novel, which was simply outrageous.
The next stop was the Owl Shop and the Pet Shop. Zhang Ziyu had high expectations at first, but after shopping around for a while, he left in disinterest.
"Bad review, what's the difference between this and those little card ads? There's not even an XXX-level Sniff... No, not even an XX-level Bowtruckle. That's outrageous."
Needless to say, the owl shop is basically an owl used for communication. Although it is extremely smart and has special sensing magic, it can find the exact location of the wizard and deliver it most of the time.
But the treasure level was really not high, so Zhang Ziyu bought one or two owls and stuffed them into the Monster Ranch.
As for the magical animal shop, Zhang Ziyu was even more disappointed. They were all toads, mostly cats, and they were probably only for little wizards.
Of course, Zhang Ziyu was not without success. He did buy cattails and fire crabs.
One is cute and easy to take care of, and the other can breathe fire, which is okay if you just barely.
The fire crab Zhang Ziyu was directly stuffed into the mimic fence. As for the Puff Rong Rong, one was put in, and the remaining ones were placed directly in the free space to add some vitality.
Zhang Ziyu has already made plans to demarcate a part of the mountainous area as forest land specifically for raising magical creatures.
"Ollivander's wand shop is really old."
After walking around for a while, Zhang Ziyu came to the last weapon check-in point in Novice Village.
Although Zhang Ziyu can cast spells without a wand, in the Harry Potter world, due to the active magical energy or certain rules, it is more convenient for Zhang Ziyu to cast spells without a wand.
But this does not prevent him from being curious about this shop. After all, most British wizards' wands come from the Ollivander family's wand-making shop. With such fame and strength, it is definitely one of the top ten attractions in the Harry Potter world.
No problem.
Just like waiting for the owl for more than ten years, what if a child who yearns for the magical world doesn't want to have a wand of his own?
Zhang Ziyu pushed open the door and entered. The jingle of the doorbell attracted Ollivander's attention inside the store.
An old man with messy silver-white hair poked his head out. He had silver-white eyes, which were very different from his messy appearance.
The first impression he gives is that of a research fanatic.
"Young Wizard"
Ollivander was quite surprised, because this was a wizard with an oriental face.
"Are you going to maintain the wand?"
"Mr. Ollivander, I would like to buy a new wand."
"New wand?"
Zhang Ziyu nodded and looked at the wands packed in boxes in the store. Each long box contained a wand. The boxes almost filled the entire room, and he didn't know how many there were.
In short, as one of the three largest wand shops in Europe, most wizards in the UK will buy their wands here.
"Let me see and try this one."
Ollivander rummaged through the long box and found a wand, handed it to Zhang Ziyu with both hands, and said, "Child, give it a try. The wand has an acacia wood body and a dragon's nerve core, and is thirteen inches long."
Zhang Ziyu held the magic wand and felt a little mentally. After a moment of gentle movement, a long box suddenly fell down in front of him.
"Such a powerful magic. It seems that this wand is not suitable for you."
Ollivander seemed to be used to it. He recovered as before, then took the wand and started searching again.
One after another, he found walnut wood and holly wood as the wand body, but under Zhang Ziyu's spiritual power output, they all seemed very violent.
On the one hand, Zhang Ziyu does have special magic power (spiritual power) in his body, and on the other hand, it really doesn't fit well.
It's not that it can't be used. It's basically suitable for Zhang Ziyu to control it a little and adjust it.
But Ollivander wanted to pursue more extreme coordination, so he changed one after another.
"Mr. Ollivander, making wands should be considered a form of alchemy. Isn't there anyone who can customize wands?"
While testing the wand, the two of them started chatting.
Ollivander was stunned for a moment, but he did not refuse the topic and said: "It is a branch of alchemy. As for customization, few people do it. You know, not everyone is good at wand body and wand core.
Cooperation and selection of the most suitable materials.”
"Try this. It has a beech staff body and unicorn hair as the core. It is the first choice for wizards who are smart, wise and extremely talented."
Zhang Ziyu took the wand, and as soon as he took it, the tactile feedback of the wand was quite good and it was relatively smooth.
"Calling God to Guard"
The patron saint panda suddenly ran around in the room, with a smoky white light, which was very holy.
"A very powerful spell."
Zhang Ziyu nodded and said, "That's it. By the way, wrap up the other two handfuls for me too."
Ollivander:?
"A handful is enough for one person to perform magic, child."
"It's okay, just make it as a souvenir and give it to my friend when I get home. We don't have such a wand."
Zhang Ziyu said and took out the golden gallon, looking unquestionable.
When the words came to this, Ollivander naturally would not refuse. After collecting 20 gold galleons, Ollivander wrapped all three staffs and handed them to Zhang Ziyu.
Zhang Ziyu basically spent the rest of his days studying the magic spell.
For Zhang Ziyu, his control of his own spiritual power is much higher than that of ordinary little wizards, and he also has a good foundation. It only took him a day or two to practice most of the magic spells.
Finished studying.
Whether it's a simple and commonly used spell like the Floating Curse or a relatively advanced spell like the Iron Armor Curse, Zhang Ziyu can master them all at his fingertips.
"roar!"
The Taotie King recovered his true form and was sparring with Zhang Ziyu in the Monster Ranch, when he bumped into Zhang Ziyu menacingly.
"Quickly transform."
Zhang Ziyu directly used the transformation spell, and soon the ground behind the scenes turned into something like a vine, wrapping around it.
His spiritual power output was quite large, so the transformed vines were very tough and soon entangled the Taotie King.
The Taotie King struggled hard and suddenly opened his mouth. The horns on his head emitted fluorescence, and energy beams were spit out from his mouth. In an instant, the vines collapsed and turned into clods of soil again.
"boom"
"Armor Protection"
The beam of light went straight towards Zhang Ziyu, and he immediately used his armor to protect himself. His spiritual power instantly condensed into a protective layer, but the next moment Zhang Ziyu was still blown away.
As soon as King Taotie saw this situation, he saw that the situation was not going well and immediately took a puff of smoke and entered the forest.
If you don't run for a while, you will get cold.
Zhang got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and cursed: "You bastard, why are you running so fast? I can't castrate you again."
He was not injured. Although the armor protection could not completely protect him, at least he was not injured.
"Speaking of which, the magic spells that can be mastered on the market are really basic, and the same goes for alchemy. Even if you graduate from Hogwarts, you just have to learn to master your own magic."
