Ollivander's Wand Shop has been able to survive for hundreds of years in Diagon Alley, not only because of its excellent technology, but also because every generation of bosses knows how to treat each of their customers.
Ollivander gave Fang Mu a 20% discount because he actually wanted to convey his goodwill.
Fang Mu confiscated it and gave an extra 1 Galleons 'tip', which was to point out that the relationship between the two parties was only a transaction. After the transaction was over, everyone went their separate ways.
Since this guest said, "Everyone goes his own way," Ollivander would certainly not force him to come forward.
At the beginning, Ollivander would have doubted whether he had made a mistake.
How could a ten-year-old boy not see through it?
Now he is 100% sure that he did not make a mistake.
Square wood is not simple!
Click!
The door opened again.
Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in front of Ollivander's eyes.
Ollivander's pupils shrank slightly.
"The new wizarding world of Hogwarts this time will probably not be so peaceful anymore!"
Flourish and Blott Books.
The bookshelves here are filled with books, reaching to the ceiling.
Look around.
It can be seen that some books are as big as paving stones, with exquisite decorations on the cover; some are as small as only a stamp, which are called Juan-faced books.
Some books are filled with all kinds of strange symbols, while others are blank with nothing at all.
"Are these the oldest magic books?"
Fang Mu frowned.
In front of him, there was a pile of old books. Most of these old books were in tatters, and some of them didn't even have covers.
Fang Mu's hands passed over these old books one by one, but none of the skills were triggered. He thought that the magical world might take longer, so he specially took out a book and held it in his hand for several minutes.
, but still no change.
The old books Fang Mu asked for were not only needed for new students to get started, but also other advanced books. He also asked for a copy of all of them.
But neither the introductory books nor the advanced books can trigger any skills.
"Yes, sir."
The clerk maintained good professionalism and did not discriminate against Fang Mu because he wanted to buy used books.
In fact, most people buy used books.
Magic books are too expensive!
Not many magicians have that kind of money to buy new magic books.
The reason why magic books are expensive is not only because of the high value of magic knowledge, but also because it is not easy to make a magic book.
The pages and even the ink of the magic book are made of magic materials. And the more advanced the magic knowledge, the better the magic materials needed.
Ordinary white paper and ink cannot record magical knowledge at all.
A magic book made from various magic materials can be imagined to be very expensive.
Just like the "Advanced Potion Making" in Fang Mu's hand, not to mention the old one, a brand new "Advanced Potion Making" costs 9 galleons.
It’s equivalent to Fang Mu’s cost to buy a new wand!
"In that case, give me one of these books. I want all new ones!"
Fang Mu put down the "Advanced Magic Potion Manufacturing" in his hand.
He has discovered that old books cannot bring him any skills.
In this case, he doesn't need these old books.
"One copy of all? Or a new one? Are you sure?"
The clerk's voice became a little trembling.
"Well, tell me how much it costs in total!"
Fang Mu nodded and said.
"Total, total, sir, please wait a moment and I will calculate it for you. I'll be ready soon."
The attitude of the store clerk suddenly went to a new level.
You can't blame him for ordering dishes. In fact, compared to the goblin, this clerk's performance was much better!
At least from the beginning, he never gave Fang Mu a look of disdain. Even if Fang Mu asked him to move out all the old books, he didn't feel unhappy at all.
Although this so-called 'moving' was accomplished with just a wave of his magic wand, it still cost him a lot of magic power, didn't it?
Nowadays, the service attitude towards Fang Mu has reached a higher level, which is also human nature.
What seller doesn't like seeing generous customers?
"Hello, sir, there are a total of 343 books, all calculated according to the price of new books. The total is 2212 gold galleons. Our store manager has said that the remaining 12 gold galleons can be waived for you. You only need to pay
2,200 gold galleons is enough! In addition, we can also help you deliver these books to your home for free!"
The clerk stood in front of Fang Mu respectfully.
After paying part of the deposit and leaving an address, Fang Mu left Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.
"Next destination, the Crucible Shop!"
Fang Mu's eyes flashed.
This is his last hope of gaining skills.
Among the necessities for a newborn, he still has a cauldron, clothing, glass or crystal vials, a telescope, a brass scale and a pet that he has not purchased.
Except for the crucible, it is basically impossible for the items in the back to trigger skills.
"etc!"
Fang Mu suddenly thought of something.
Flying broomstick!
This is one of the must-have items for freshmen, and it is specifically mentioned as something that first-year freshmen are not allowed to carry.
"Maybe I can go there and have a look!"
Fang Mu could hold back his thoughts.
"Take your time and start from the crucible shop first!"
The Crucible store is not far from Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore.
Fang Mu arrived not long after he left.
"Boss, do you have an old crucible here?"
"Yes, yes! Customer, how much new do you want? We have many 90% new crucibles here, which are almost the same as new ones, but the price is only 70% of the new ones!"
The owner of the crucible introduced it enthusiastically.
"Take them all out and let me take a look."
"Okay, guest, come with me."
The crucible owner brought Fang Mu into the store, he pointed at a pile of crucibles and said.
"These are 90% new crucibles. Look, are they no different from the new ones?"
Fang Mu took a look and found that these crucibles indeed looked no different from new ones. There were only traces of use in some places.
Fang Mu touched his hand, but there was no response.
He did not give up, pretending to look at it seriously, and kept in contact with the crucible back and forth for several minutes.
But unfortunately, none of the skills were triggered.
"Can't even this crucible give me another skill?"
Fang Mu felt very unwilling.
This is the item most likely to trigger his skills!
If this crucible can't allow him to trigger skills, then other items will be even more difficult!
And relative to this problem, there is another problem that Fang Mu is most nervous about.
