Chapter 139 Shopping trip (for me, my rivers and mountains
As time went by, the excitement of treasure hunting slowly faded, and the days returned to normal. One day during breakfast, Ryan was eating a boiled egg. The announcer on the TV suddenly started to read a new line.
The news immediately attracted his attention.
"...The public must be aware that Blake is armed and extremely dangerous. A hotline has been set up. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of Blake must report it immediately." Then a thin face appeared, surrounded by tangled tangles, which were about a foot long.
The photo of a man with wild hair looks a bit sinister.
"It's a bit strange. Shouldn't it be reported which prison the prisoner escaped from? Why wasn't this reported? Is this person a special prisoner from the military or intelligence department?" Mr. Lambert put the bread on the table.
Said while spreading jam.
"This man is a wizard. I used to see this man when I was checking the history of the wizarding world through old newspapers in the school library. Legend has it that he killed more than a dozen people in one go."
"Oh my God, it's so dangerous." Mother Sally exclaimed.
"But the strange thing is that after he killed the people, he did not run away, but stayed there waiting to be arrested. In the end, he was sent to the wizard's prison without trial."
"Without trial?" Mr. Lambert noticed the word in Lane's words. "That means he may not have committed a crime, or he may just be an unlucky guy who unfortunately showed up at the murder scene. It seems that you must go to school there.
Be careful, I feel like the wizarding world makes people feel insecure."
"Okay, you continue to eat. I think my son is just going to school and will not have any interaction with such a wanted criminal." Sally shouted with a little displeasure as the father and son began to discuss the murderer's issue.
"Okay wife (mom), let's shut up and eat now." The Ryan father and son looked at each other and ate obediently.
Ryan felt that he might be a fake protagonist, because the rest of the holiday was very dull, and he did not meet Sirius in the dog form that many protagonists in the fan fiction could meet.
During the last week of vacation, Ryan and Hermione took the subway to go shopping in Diagon Alley. As soon as they opened the door leading to Diagon Alley on the back wall of the Leaky Cauldron, they heard someone greeting them.
"Ryan, Hermione, here!" Looking at the voice, they saw Harry Potter sitting in the bright sunshine outside Florin's Cold Drinks Shop, with quills, parchment and a box of fruit piled on the table in front of him.
Jen ice cream.
"Oh, I'm glad to see you again. Brother Hai said in the letter that you will go to Brazil for exchange and study in the first half of the school year this year. Is this true?"
"It's true. A total of 12 students have been selected to go to Brazil for exchange. I heard that the Ministry of Magic is going to resume international exchange activities that have been interrupted for more than ten years due to the war, and at the same time set a model for similar exchange activities in the future," Ryan said.
Harry explained.
"I'm so envious that you can go to such a far away place, unlike me who can't even go to Hogsmeade this year." Harry said with some frustration.
"You are very lucky. Longbottom wrote me a letter asking me about some problems with my summer homework, and also told me that you blew up your aunt during the holiday. In this case, you were not punished in any way. Seriously
I find it a bit unbelievable. After all, according to Longbottom's description, minors who release magic outside of school must come with a warning, even the lightest one." Ryan said seriously.
"I didn't mean to do it," Harry said. "It was just a momentary loss of control because she insulted my parents so much."
"It's understandable, but you'd better think more about it when you do these things in the future. It's just luck that you weren't punished this time, but we can't put all our hopes on luck."
"Okay, everything is over. Harry is fine." Ryan looked at Hermione and wanted to lecture again, but quickly changed the subject: "We have to buy a lot of books this year, I think we should hurry up.
Already."
"I'll go with you. After all, I've been staying in Diagon Alley for more than a week." Harry immediately put the paper and pen on the table into his bag, then jumped up and led the way.
They first went to the potion shop to replenish potion supplies, and then went to Madam Malkin's robe store to buy a few new robes, as well as the dress robes needed for this study tour. It must be said that everyone grows very fast after entering puberty.
The school uniform is too short to wear anymore.
Even Ryan had to make himself a new assassin costume using Deathclaw skins in the radiation world. At the same time, he updated the hidden sword and grappling hook to adapt to the new figure. Especially the hidden sword, which was made of luminous materials.
The remaining metal near the sea blast core was purified and used as raw material, and runes were inlaid on it using gold and silver craftsmanship. This also gave the Hidden Blade a certain ability to resist magic.
Finally, they went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy new textbooks. When they go to Brazil for exchange this time, they will get the textbooks there after arriving in Brazil. However, Ryan and Hermione still need Hogwarts textbooks for self-study.
As soon as he walked to the door of Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, Ryan discovered that an iron cage was placed in the window where all kinds of esoteric-looking golden books had been placed. In the cage were more than a hundred books with green covers and gold titles printed on them.
The big book was balled up inside.
Walking into the bookstore, the manager came up, "Are the Hogwarts students here to buy textbooks?" "Yes," said Ryan, "We want two copies of "The Monster Book of Monsters."" Ryan said, looking at the book list.
"I really don't know which professor asked for these books. When they were purchased, they were delivered directly in a cage and it was difficult to pick them up. Not to mention that they have been printing endlessly since they were purchased. I swear I will never buy such books again.
." The manager complained as he put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, knotted cane, and walked towards the cage.
Ryan used magic to sense the book in the cage, and then suddenly said to the manager, "I have a magic that can make them temporarily settle down. Can I try it?"
"The stun spell will definitely not work. If it is too weak, it will only irritate them. If it is too strong, it will set the book on fire." The manager turned his head and looked at Ryan and said. "Are you really sure you can do it?"
"If the book is damaged, I will come with you." Ryan vowed. The manager saw that Ryan was so confident, so he moved away and made a gesture of please.
Ryan walked to the cage and drew a golden rune in the air with his wand, and then recited a spell in ancient Viking language: "Appease." After the words fell, all the books immediately stopped fighting, one by one.
It fell to the bottom of the cage and lay there quietly.
"Oh, great, you guys come over quickly and tie up all these books." The manager asked the clerk to tie up the books quickly, and then said to Ryan: "I'll give you 30% off what you three spend today.
."
Ten minutes later, the three people walked out of the bookstore with the books they bought. Looking at their schoolbags, it was obvious that they had bought a lot of books. In addition to textbooks, Hermione and Ryan also bought several reference books. Even Harry also bought them.
I bought a book about Quidditch.
Besides the manager of the bookstore, Ryan was the happiest person, because he received the reminder and gained two more offset points. When they passed by the window, they could see that the cage was gone, replaced by a display shelf and the top was used
"The Yokai Book of Yokai" tied tightly with a rope.
