Chapter 18 Finding Clues

These passers-by shopping were obviously accustomed to all kinds of seemingly weird things, and they were not even interested in taking a second look at Fang Linyan who appeared from the gate.

Fang Linyan stood there and looked around, and found that most of the buildings here were two- or three-story wooden buildings from the 16th century. They looked very old, and the eaves were covered with triangular tiles. These

The rickety houses are crowded together, and it feels like passengers holding on to the armrests in a crowded bus, giving it an interesting sense of patchwork.

Almost every house is a separate independent shop, and its signboards have been carefully designed. Under the eaves of the shop opposite Fang Linyan hangs a wind lantern that can automatically do pull-ups. The rusty signboard on the shop on the right can automatically do pull-ups.

Use a rag to wipe yourself.

Suddenly, Fang Linyan heard the whistle of a train entering the station. He turned around quickly and saw that there was a teapot on the signboard of a shop in the back. It was spitting out steam as if it was a prank. When Fang Linyan looked over, he still looked at it.

I blinked my eyes and sprayed a few mouthfuls on his side...

In these dazzling shops, Fang Linyan took a look around. This was not because he had a desire to shop, but because he was doing the most basic market research to see how much purchasing power his three gold galleons had.

.

In the end, the answer he came up with was pretty good. An ordinary wand costs 6-9 Galleons, and a cup of hot cocoa costs 4 Silver Sickles (1 Galleons = 17 Silver Sickles).

Next, Fang Linyan found a second-hand goods store. Its name was Pragmatism. There were two white gloves hanging in mid-air at the door, holding a broom and sweeping the floor. He saw Fang Linyan standing in front of the store.

After a while, a glove threw away the broom with a snap, then flew directly in front of Fang Linyan and stretched out his palm.

Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, then tentatively stretched out his palm to hold it. He felt that the white glove didn't look hollow at all. It felt like a ball filled with air. A soft force came from above, and he grabbed it.

He shook his right hand a few times, which was considered the basic etiquette of shaking hands.

Then the white gloves flew half a meter in front of Fang Linyan and made a gesture of invitation.

Fang Linyan undoubtedly found it quite novel to receive such a special reception. After he walked into the store, he saw the white glove leading the way grasping a brass bell next to it, and then directly pulled it.

Shake.

Amidst the ringing of the bell, a woman wearing a black veil and dressed like a gypsy walked out. Judging from her figure and skin, she was about forty years old. She was holding a crystal ball in her hand. The woman looked up and down.

He looked at Lin Yan for a moment and then said:

"How can I help you? A friend from far away?"

Fang Linyan shrugged and said:

"I'm just here for a stroll."

He knows that in this kind of second-hand supplies store, it is best not to reveal his purpose as soon as he comes, because the cost of some second-hand supplies purchased by the boss will be very low, so it is best to buy several items together and make love.

The attitude of whether to sell or not, in this case, the boss will sell it with a profit on the basis of capital preservation in order to realize cash as soon as possible.

However, after shopping around, Fang Linyan didn't find anything he was particularly interested in.

Of course, this does not mean that the things in this store are not valuable, but it is due to Fang Linyan's lack of eyesight. He originally thought that this place could be used to "pick up leaks" using his investigative skills.

But it was obvious that Space had already anticipated similar loopholes. After Fang Linyan picked up something and tried to investigate, he was reminded that the ownership of the item belonged to the store and he had no right to use investigative skills on it...

.

Finally, Fang Linyan took a fancy to a clock. The lower half of the wooden frame of this clock was missing, but the upper half was still functioning and the clock face was cracked.

The second hand is a happy little man jumping happily on the dial, while the minute and hour hands are represented by lights.

The most important thing is that every minute of the clock, a little fairy like a flower fairy will come out from behind, hold the clockwork next to it and twist it tightly to wind it up. This is quite magical.

Fang Linyan was interested in this thing. Of course he wanted to disassemble it and study the mysteries of the magical machinery in this world. However, after hearing the boss's quotation of 420 gold galleons, he immediately realized that he had no connection with it.

...

When the female boss saw the look of disappointment on Fang Linyan's face, she took the initiative to ask him:

"May I ask what the guest wants?"

Fang Linyan said solemnly:

"My friend is very good at magic machinery, but the tool he was using was accidentally lost recently..."

The female boss said oh and suddenly realized:

"We will not purchase such highly professional tools unless they are very cheap, because they often remain in our hands for a long time. As we are in this business, we are most happy to purchase tools that can be carried around with us.

, and most people like valuable things, such as pocket watches, lighters, necklaces, rings, etc.”

Fang Linyan nodded. In fact, these are the most popular items in this shop. He also knew very well that among the items sold, there is a high probability that there will be magic equipment recognized by the system. However, such items must be very expensive.

, it is impossible for space to allow you to miss out on a huge profit, and now he can only look at it and sigh.

"It would be great if there was a way to loot this damn place..."

Fang Linyan couldn't help but have such an idea in his heart, but he quickly shook his head.

With his current strength, if he wants to cause trouble here, he will really get tired of living, unless he takes advantage of the opportunity to stir up civil strife, but now Fang Linyan has no such opportunity at all.

After Fang Linyan left the shop, he stopped delaying. After asking someone for some inquiries, he went to Knockturn Alley next to it.

The entrance to this place is actually not difficult to find. There are two skull lanterns hanging at the entrance of the alley. Even the environment in the alley looks eerie and dim. Most of the alleys are filled with black magic shops, and there are all kinds of things hanging on the signs.

There are shrunken human heads, huge black spiders, withered human hands, and sunflower disks with a fake smile, etc.

There were obviously far fewer people walking in the alley than outside. Everyone was wearing a mask or wrapped in a black mage robe, and they seemed to be worried about having their faces seen by other people.

Fang Linyan walked slowly in the alley, and then came to Borgin-Bock Magic Shop. Compared with other places, this place seemed relatively normal. There was just a smiling clown mask hanging at the door, but if you look closely,

, the lips of this clown mask are a bit too bright, as if they were smeared with fresh blood.

Not only that, the corners of the clown's mouth were also raised too much. Fang Linyan looked carefully and saw that his big mouth was forcibly expanded and torn open with scissors.

Of course, more importantly, the mask's base material looked very much like human skin, but Fang Linyan did not reach out to touch it to confirm the material, but walked directly in.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Linyan smelled an indescribable smell, like leather that had been rotten for four or five days and was boiled in a large pot. It was quite pungent.

The lights in the store are bright, but it seems to be to better display the products left here:

A withered human hand placed on a mat was placed on the counter in the center. It was obvious that the owner attached great importance to it.

Next to it was a pair of blood-stained playing cards. When Fang Linyan stared at this thing, he noticed that the J's head on the top winked at him.

The opal card in the frame next to it seems to be the only normal thing, but the label next to it has a clear warning:

Don't touch it! - It's cursed - Nineteen Muggles have died trying to possess it.

In addition, there are a few lines of words clearly written on the small blackboard next to the counter:

From now on, purchase the following spell-casting materials at high prices:

Flash powder

maple seeds

light feathers

The person who wrote these lines doesn't know what kind of paint he used, which can shine a faint phosphorescence on its own. Yes, it's the kind of phosphorescence that emanates from the bones of the dead in mass graves.

And in the boss' position behind the counter, there is a green-skinned goblin sitting. It is at most thirty centimeters tall, with cunning little eyes, thick and wrinkled green skin, and a rope hanging around its neck.

Strange necklace.

This necklace seemed ordinary, but Fang Linyan was a very meticulous person. Even if he did not enter bullet time, he would notice many small details, so he quickly judged that this necklace was actually made of

It is made up of finger bones strung together, and there is a very strange smell on it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable and instinctively want to stay away.

How should I put it? It's like a morgue under the pale lights at midnight. Even if there are no corpses in it, absolutely no one wants to stay there for a long time.

Seeing Fang Linyan entering the door, the little goblin had no intention of coming out to receive the guests. He just yawned lazily...

Fang Linyan was stunned. He remembered clearly that the relevant upgrade tasks that trigger the title of scholar are here. It seems that the time limit is still within 24 hours of entering this world. Why is there no response when it comes?

However, his mind was also very smart, and he immediately took the initiative to equip the scholar title.

Sure enough, after he did this, although other people or creatures could not see his actions, the little goblin suddenly raised his eyelids, then stretched out his hand to grab it, and then spread his palm and smelled it.

smell.

Immediately afterwards, the little goblin showed a confused expression on his face, and finally looked at Fang Linyan and said:

"Hey kid, where are you from?"
