Chapter 236 Recognizable even when turned into ashes
The changes Ted brought to the magic world have gradually emerged.
The biggest change is undoubtedly the salted fish net of the salted fish house, with a palm-sized facade, which makes it crowded.
The exchange of information and magic items brought by the salted fish net brought a little vitality to Diagon Alley.
If there are special statistics, it will be found that the GDP of Diagon Alley has increased by 25% in the past two months!
Many stores have found that their business seems to be getting better, but they don't realize that this is the customer flow brought by Salted Fish House.
And Knockturn Alley is the one that reacts more than Diagon Alley!
For many changes in the world, those who respond most quickly are those gray areas that wander between black and white.
They are well-informed, have the best sense of smell, and are very adaptable to change.
The flow of people brought by Salted Fish House not only benefited the merchants in Diagon Alley, a large number of people also radiated to Knockturn Alley not far away.
Knockturn Alley is not full of dark wizards, but it is a gray area, and you can buy a lot of things that are not common in the market, and they are not so formal, so it is difficult to say whether they are legal or not.
Because gray isn't legal, but necessary, it's a place where Aurors and Strikers won't touch.
Because of this layer of convenience, there is also black hidden under this gray.
Not to mention all kinds of contraband, before the start of school last year, there was a scene of smuggling intelligent creatures from other worlds, and the result was a big scene of random killings~
The Ministry of Magic did a sweep that time, but it was over when the sweep was over.
Aren’t those shops all there? Aren't those bosses still alive and well?
Business has to continue.
And because of the large flow of people, more buyers and sellers were attracted.
The benefits received by Knockturn Alley are several times that of Diagon Alley.
In just these two months, she has already become famous.
Even black wizards like France and Germany come here to sell some products, or to buy some things they need but are not allowed to sell on the market.
This also led to a lot of things that were not seen in the past, such as the head.
Ted has to track down what's going on with this thing.
It doesn't matter!
Because I have a head in my hand, it is much easier to find someone.
Although those in the black market have some ability to hide and anti-track. But not enough to see in front of Ted.
Not only does he know how to divination, but he can also use psychic powers to show traces in the air.
Ted followed a pale yellow line that no one else could see.
When the people arrived near Knockturn Alley, Ted found a corner and performed an invisibility technique, and then began to remake himself.
Normal wizards cannot change themselves, which is a very high-end transformation technique.
Ted's Transfiguration isn't up to that level, but he can use psychic powers to disguise himself.
A few seconds later, a tall, thin white young wizard in his twenties walked into Knockturn Alley.
…
Sherman is a second-hand dealer, he is a wizard from Eastern Europe.
Originally, his business was very good and his family was quite happy. But Mao Xiong's sudden collapse caught everyone off guard, including the wizards.
In Bear, wizards are directly under the Red Magic Council.
But the upper level suddenly collapsed, causing everything to be messed up. Including wizards.
There was chaos in Eastern Europe for a whole year, and many wizards died because of it.
There were even a group of werewolves who took the opportunity to bite Muggles and wizards wantonly in the local area. Because the organization had completely disintegrated, everyone was busy fleeing or hiding, and there was no way to organize the manpower, which made these werewolves wreak havoc.
Now it has calmed down a bit, but the situation has changed, and the situation is quite different.
Sherman's previous business routes were completely destroyed.
The source of goods is gone, the route is gone, the channel is gone, and the buyer is gone!
He had to go to the Far East once himself, and even encountered danger several times. Only then did he receive a batch of things from a group of traffickers who specialized in smuggling oriental magic items.
But people are far from their hometowns, and now Mao Xiong has collapsed, and these wizards have become wild dogs without a home.
Therefore, the price of the goods in Sherman's hands was severely reduced.
Risking your life to get something, only to buy a month's worth of bread? Even if you want to eat a piece of meat, you have to think about it for several days, why? !
Sherman gritted his teeth cruelly, stomped his feet and slipped away, and came to the British Isles.
I have been to the Far East, so why not go further west.
But how? All crows are black.
Are the traitors of Great Britain noble?
The same low price!
But somewhat acceptable.
However, a ceramic head that Sherman was very optimistic about failed to sell.
People don't accept it, saying that they don't feel the magic power and are worthless. Only other stone and jade figurines were bought.
After all, it was brought by Sherman all the way, and it cost money, so it is really not reconciled to lose it like this.
I heard that there is a salted fish net that sells things very well, and you can find buyers for any weird things, so I tried it.
No, Ted tried it.
…
At this time, Sherman's eyes were looking forward dully, and his pupils were out of focus.
There is a hand on his head, which is Ted after disguise.
Ted sneaked in silently to subdue this guy, and then guided his memory through language and psychic powers, and then found out the origin and whereabouts of this terracotta warrior.
There were three terracotta warriors in total. The pottery one had only a head, the stone one was missing an arm, and the jade one was intact.
The latter two were taken away by Bo Jinbok.
"Hey, do you think it's a coincidence?"
Ted started to erase some of Sherman's memories while talking.
Erdao traffickers are nothing, just supporting the family. But don't go to the east, blur the line for him.
Although I don’t have the ability to go to the local area to stop this kind of behavior, I can still make some contributions.
Bojinbok’s store, you need to make some preparations.
The last time Ansu took advantage of the chaos to add fire to his business, after that the defense level was raised.
Ansu quietly watched it several times, but he was not sure.
This time I have to prepare.
Ted erased all traces of his appearance, put the second-hand dealer Sherman back on the chair, and let him lie on the desk, so that he would think that he had fallen asleep inadvertently.
Then Ted leaves...
Dismissed a few old hags who thought they were young and recommended forbidden potions to themselves.
Those potions are **** at first glance, this is a fat pig to be slaughtered!
Besides, these medicines are addictive, and drinking too much will damage your health.
There is even an old witch who wants to take advantage of it!
I am Cao! You can be my grandma at your age!
Ted glared directly, scaring away the old hag who was selling banned drugs to him.
Eyes are the windows of the soul, and looking at each other is an excellent way to display psychic powers.
It is just to take into account the broad daylight, it is not good to break the legs of these old witches directly, otherwise they have to let them know what is incompatible with gambling and drugs!
Out of Knockturn Alley, Ted was going to find a place to change his appearance, but suddenly he turned his head and saw Hermione.
She was wearing a wizard robe, and ran excitedly in the direction of the Salted Fish House.
Could it be that school is about to start, so come to do some shopping?
While Ted was still thinking, Hermione seemed to have a sense, and suddenly turned her head to look over.
First glanced at Ted, then turned his head and continued walking, as if he felt something was wrong, then turned his head to look, the more he looked, the more wrong he looked, and he stopped walking with a frown.
Ted was planning to find a corner here, but Hermione came over and asked cautiously, "Ted?"
Ted used spiritual power to change his voice: "What Ted? You got the wrong person!"
As a result, Hermione suddenly confirmed it, and grabbed Ted's sleeve: "Are you still pretending to me?! I know you even if you turn into ashes!"
The little lioness glared!
Don't say it, it really means Professor McGonagall!
Professor McGonagall is called Big Hermione!
"Cough, don't, wait for me to change it back." Ted quickly admitted his mistake.
…
After a while, the two sat down at the Salted Fish House.
"What are you doing with this outfit?"
"Buying something, it's not convenient to come out by yourself, you understand."
"Be careful, you are a celebrity now. If you are found out, it will be very troublesome."
"I know, I know~" Ted agreed repeatedly, "By the way, what are you here for?"
"Ha, I'm here to buy something!" Hermione showed the money in her hand.
Five £10 notes!
"Oh! Your dad won the lottery like Mr. Weasley?"
"What! Isn't school about to start? Dad gave me money to buy myself a birthday present in advance."
