Chapter thirty-five profiteers

Now that Fang Linyan and his party had obtained enough funds, at Omi's suggestion, they went to a nearby cafe to wait for news.

This cafe is actually one of the entrances to Diagon Alley, with its entrance opening at a busy intersection.

If you are a Muggle, you cannot reach the door of the cafe. You can only see a solid wall of the building. Only a magician can see through the illusion and reach the door of the cafe.

Such illusions are not uncommon in this world. For example, the famous Platform 9 and 3/4 of King's Cross Station has a similar principle.

The cafe is filled with a sour coffee smell, and the decoration here is a typical retro style. The lighting is not electric lamps, but cleanly polished lanterns.

The old-fashioned trumpet-shaped gramophone was placed in the corner, and the song played was the opera: Rinaldo.

Ahem, this is an opera that was popular in the 17th century. If you want to describe it, it is equivalent to the Chinese pipa song: House of Flying Daggers/guqin song: Plum Blossom Three Lanes in the Chinese music industry.

It is worth mentioning that this gramophone looks like an old model, but it has a magic version of holding out two black rubber palms to change vinyl records for yourself.

The bartender in the cafe is a dull and silent young man, almost like a robot who will never say another word. It can be said that he cherishes words like gold.

In addition to selling coffee, they also sell spirits and other items. Several people woke up drunk, lying on the table and falling asleep, even snoring.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the door of the cafe suddenly opened again, and a fat man walked in. This man was in ragged clothes, about forty years old, his beard and hair were very disheveled, and he walked with a limp.

Yes, if you look carefully, its right leg is actually a prosthetic leg made of wood.

After the man looked around, he limped straight towards Fang Linyan and the others. After sitting down, he said to Omi:

"Little girl, are you the one who wants to buy information?"

Omi said:

"Yes."

The man nodded, grinned and said:

"I'm just here to deliver information, but before that, you have to buy me a drink."

Omi nodded and said:

"That's no problem, Mr. Moody."

As a result, this guy politely ordered a glass of the most expensive gin and drank it in one gulp! Then he banged the table and shouted for two more glasses.

It turned out that Moody probably used too much force, so when he slapped the table, something actually fell directly onto the table, making a clicking sound. If he looked carefully, it turned out to be an eyeball!

Everyone stared at his sunken left eye socket in shock for a few seconds before they came to their senses and realized that even one of his eyes was fake...

Moody didn't take it seriously. He rinsed the prosthetic eye in the wine glass next to him, then put it back into the eye socket. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Then he laughed with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, five gold galleons! The information you want is here."

Omi threw the five gold Galleons out with a wave of his hand, and then got a card that Moody held in his hand, and Moody walked away directly.

Everyone then gathered around the card and found that it actually recorded an image with magic. It was Dumbledore who personally attacked a group of people. Some of them had familiar faces. They were members of the KING team.

those members.

Obviously, in front of Dumbledore, who represents the top combat power in the world, the guys in the KING team were beaten to the point where they were reduced to pissing and running around.

Not to mention that it was impossible for Dumbledore to come alone. Seven or eight of his friends and students also came. Even if the members of the KING team were decisively defeated, they would suffer heavy casualties.

After this card was read, it automatically burned and turned into ashes. Care should be taken to avoid leaving relevant evidence.

After seeing this scene, the members of the legendary team also breathed a sigh of relief. Now the KING team was tricked to the point of almost exploding. Even if they wanted to retaliate, they were unable to do so with their remaining strength and could only be killed.

In this case, the Legend Team no longer has any worries and can act boldly with confidence.

Of course, don’t expect that the entire legendary team will have a smooth sailing after entering this world. It can be said that Omi’s contribution is indispensable behind all this.

After entering, she racked her brains, strategized, put in a lot of time and energy, and used the connections she had laid out in this world to achieve all this.

If it weren't for Omi, Fang Linyan and the others would probably still be running around like headless flies, let alone going all out to complete their collection tasks!

At this time, Omi also exhaled a long breath and said:

"Okay, now that the KING team has been taken care of and enough money has been obtained, you and the goat can go about your business."

"Leave the main mission to us."

Then Omi took out two envelopes and said:

"This is a magic letter. It's not cheap, but it can fly to the target automatically, so if there is an emergency, you can use it to communicate."

The goat sighed with regret and said:

"It's a pity that we came a year early. I remember that mobile phones were launched next year, that is, at the end of 1986. They seemed to be called Vodafone. With mobile phones, long-distance communication would be much more convenient."

Omi shook his head and said:

"That is your world, and it does not apply to this world. Because of the existence of magic, science is suppressed in this world, and many things are much later than you think."

The goat shrugged and said:

"Okay, then I'll get out of the way first. There are some relevant prompts for the bloodline mission."

Fang Linyan said:

"Wait a minute, the two of us have to make an appointment to visit Haggar together. It seems a bit presumptuous to go there now. It's best to make time tomorrow morning."

The goat nodded and said:

"No problem, let's do it at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Omi, give us the way to get to Haggar."

Omi said:

"If you want to go to him, you must use Floo powder. You must first use Floo powder to go to node 31, and then..."

"By the way, Hager likes sweets, so if you bring some snacks, such as apple pie, durian cake, etc., and he likes to hear some strange biological secrets."

"I heard that you once visited a world of hill giants and centaurs. You can talk to him about your experiences there. Basically, Haggar will treat you as good friends."

After hearing this, the goat simply said yes, while Fang Linyan was still a little uncomfortable with Oumi's nanny-style guide-style explanation. This was so considerate that it came to his mouth... Usually he was acting

The role of the commander is really uncomfortable now that he has become a chess piece.

Soon, the group of people hugged each other and said goodbye. Fang Linyan stood on the streets of Fog City with a thousand gold galleons, surrounded by the bustling people and vehicles. I don’t know why, but he always felt a little uneasy. It's hard to concentrate.

He stood there for about a few minutes, rubbed his face, and quickly planned out what he was going to do next.

First of all, definitely go to Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley again and see if there are anything on the list for sale.

Secondly, before leaving, Organization

Next, there is Hager's channel, which cannot be activated until tomorrow.

After arranging this series of itineraries in his mind, Fang Linyan returned to the magic market of Diagon Alley, and then began to wander around as if going shopping.

Three hours later, Fang Linyan sat down next to him with pain all over his body. At this time, he could no longer care about his image and just wanted to lie down.

In just three hours, Fang Linyan felt as if he was fighting in battle, exhausted.

And here comes the crux of the problem. After being so exhausted, Fang Linyan actually found half of the items on the list! 1 ounce of werewolf blood, while the list required 2 ounces.

In the largest magic market in the UK, what troubles Fang Linyan the most is not that there are no items on the list, but that almost every shop will tell him with a smile, "Please take a seat, customer, we have everything you want..." ..

After entering the first store, Fang Linyan felt very excited when he heard this sentence, but when the boss brought the goods up, his heart suddenly sank, because after buying it, he didn't get any prompts on the mission at all. !

Take the exclusive treasure "Unicorn Tears" brought out by the owner of this store as an example. The appearance of this thing is really great. It is sealed in crystal and even emits colorful colors when illuminated with light.

Not only that, the boss also vowed to compensate ten for every fake one!

However, if this thing is real, after Fang Linyan gets it, "Unicorn Tears" will be ticked in the mission options.

However, Fang Linyan took and released three things, but there was no change in the mission options.

Fang Linyan remained calm, but found that the things the boss brought out began to become exaggerated one after another. The so-called poisonous purple slugs even left purple traces next to them after they crawled over.

When encountering this kind of thing, Fang Linyan would definitely turn around and leave, but the boss was also a good deceiver. He dropped the bottle next to him on the ground, and then grabbed Fang Linyan and refused to let him go. He loses money.

Fang Linyan had been feeling uneasy for the past two days. He had been feeling inexplicably irritable. When he encountered this kind of harassment, he got angry on the spot! He kicked the shopkeeper so hard that he staggered backwards, and then he said with a face. fist!

The shop owner tilted his head without delay and felt a strong wind blowing past his face. Then the whole shop shook and dust fell down!

Only then did the shop owner look into Fang Linyan's eyes, and there was a hint of mania in his indifferent eyes!!

Then he came to the deep fist marks on the wall next to him.

There is no doubt that the boss was immediately intimidated because he knew that if he met a real desperado, he would kill you if he disagreed with you!!

He, a businessman and a cutter, was still really afraid of such a life-threatening guy. He immediately raised his hands and gave in decisively:

"Okay, okay! This is my fault. How about leaving it at that."

"Sir, if you feel offended, this gold Galleons will be my compensation."

As the boss spoke, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he waved desperately to the guy next to him who heard the sound and pushed him out to help!

Because he knows very well what kind of people his subordinates are. They can brawl, but their bones cannot be harder than the granite wall tiles next to them!!!

This young man who looked like a gentle man punched it open with just one punch. He was really extremely powerful. If he had not dodged this punch, his brain would have exploded and he would have died on the spot...

.

Thinking of this, the boss couldn't help but plan to pay for two more gold galleons, because if the other party was upset, this might be his life money.

Fortunately, Fang Linyan also regained his senses at this time. He knew that it was easy to kill a profiteer boss here, but it was difficult to deal with the subsequent pursuit. After all, he was still here to buy things.

So he took a deep breath, took out the trainee Auror's bronze badge and said:

"I'm not here to rob! I'm here to buy something from you, and I want genuine products! Do you have the goods?"

When the boss saw that Fang Linyan was willing to continue talking to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile:

"Yes, yes, but the things you want, sir, are very scarce. You have to pay a deposit first, and then we will slowly search for you. You have to wait at least a month. If you are unlucky, it is not uncommon to wait for half a year.

.”

Fang Linyan took a deep breath, turned around and left without saying a word. The boss only felt that he had saved a small life, and he has restrained himself a lot since then.

Fang Linyan encountered similar experiences one after another, but because he pinned the copper badge of the trainee Auror on his chest, the profiteers restrained themselves a little and did not engage in forced buying or selling.

But then Fang Linyan also fell into various routines, which made him really overwhelmed and unable to defend himself. If it weren't for the space's self-identification ability, he would have been lost in the words and scams of the big dealers:

Take the store that Fang Linyan walked out of just now, for example. The owner of this store is polite, there are many customers in the store, and the service is very considerate, but Fang Linyan is really exhausted, and his brain cells are probably dead by the millions. This store

What's the store owner's routine like?

Fang Linyan walked in and asked mechanically:

"Boss, do you have XXX and XXX?"

The boss said with a professional smile:

"Of course! Come on, please come over here and talk."

Fang Linyan was already an experienced driver at this time and said numbly:

"Just tell me which ones are there!"

The boss smiled and said:

"Of course I have them all!"

Then this guy brought out several trays:

"There are three kinds of black spider silk from the Acromantula you want! Which one is it? This one is from the red-bellied Acromantula, this one is from the aquatic Acromantula, and this one is from the snow

From the Acromantula!”

Fang Linyan was immediately dumbfounded and said:

"I'll have to touch it to find out."

The boss sighed and shook his head:

"Sir, the spider silk of the Acromantula cannot come into contact with the air at all. Not to mention touching it, it will be useless if you just open the outer layer of the grid."

Then he took out a dozen more boxes:

"These are all amoeba with rhombic mouthparts. Inside the three big boxes on the right are real amoeba that I bought at a high price! They also have rhombic mouthparts!"

"I wonder what you bought this for?"

"If you are doing a magic experiment, then I recommend this Toxoamoebae. If it is used to treat chronic diseases, then Trypanoeba is the most suitable, and the Trypanoeba from Alaska is the best!"

Fang Linyan stared at the squirming insects in more than a dozen boxes. He knew very well that the boss was definitely deceiving people, but he couldn't find any loopholes in him!

It’s no wonder. As the saying goes, there are specialties in Taoism:

Fang Linyan can easily distinguish the size, shape, material, and tolerances of dozens of parts. He can even tell where something is damaged by just listening to the sound of the engine.

The goat guy can tell the difference between a jade clam with beads, a phoenix nodding, and a flounder kiss with just the waist of a young lady...

Therefore, this boss's trick is very simple. He just bullies you clearly because you don't understand, and he still uses it in a very clumsy way.
