Chapter 4053 4055【Expelliarmus】
After leaving Ollivander's Wand Shop, Xiang Nan and her son separated from the Evans family.
The Evans family went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy textbooks, to Madam Malkin's Robe Store to buy school uniforms, to Partridge's Cauldron to buy cauldrons...
Xiang Nan and her son could only go to a second-hand robe shop to buy robes.
There is no way to do this. Who let the economic conditions of the two families be here?
Erin took Xiang Nan to the second-hand robe store, which was filled with all kinds of old robes, dresses, hats, shoes, gloves, cloaks, etc. Almost everything is dated and smells weird.
Xiang Nan and her son are not the only customers here. In fact, there are many customers in this store. It can be seen that there are quite a lot of wizards living in poverty in the magical world.
But these books were either related to magical animals, divination, or Quidditch, and they were not the books Xiang Nan was looking for.
"I got this first." Xiang Nan said without giving in.
“Let go, don’t try to scare my son.” Eileen stood up and blocked her son behind her.
Xiang Nan then selected three robes of good quality, a pointed hat, a pair of dragon skin gloves, and a cloak. Because they were all at half price, I saved three galleons.
One is that Xiang Nan is still a freshman, and he can actually use the advanced spell "Expelliarmus"; the other is that a child who has not yet entered school can actually defeat an adult; the third is that the child does not have a magic wand in his hand, and it is obvious that he has no power just now. Wand casts spells. Casting without a wand is usually only possible by masters.
…
And to be honest, the books at Flourish and Blotts are all published through regular channels and will be reviewed before publication. There will not be any books that are too powerful.
“I want to reward you.” Erin touched her son’s head and said, “Do you want to eat ice cream, or go to the joke shop and buy some toys?”
The woman who was disarmed by Xiang Nan looked embarrassed and frightened at the moment. She didn't expect that Xiang Nan, a child, could actually defeat her.
“If possible, Mom, I want to go to the bookstore and have a look.” Xiang Nan suggested.
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“Go and look for it yourself in that pile. Each item only costs one Galleons.” The shopkeeper pointed to a pile of old clothes in the east. Several people were already rummaging there.
On the contrary, there are all kinds of books in junk shops, and there may be treasures among them.
Irene looked at her son with the same surprise. She didn't expect that her son's strength had reached such a strong level.
It can be seen that these old books are really diverse. In addition to the textbooks that Hogwarts has needed over the years, such as "Elementary Transfiguration Guide", "Standard Spells: Level 2", "Magic Potions and Potions", etc.,
"Severus, you performed very well just now." Irene looked at her son approvingly and said.
For example, a tattered wand, a rickety scale, a potion-stained cauldron, a patched cloak, and of course, stacks of old books.
"Do you want to fight with me?" the woman threatened as she pulled out her wand.
Irene was stunned. She didn't bring a wand because Tobia didn't like her using magic.
Xiang Nan’s mother and son then went to the secondhand shop on the corner of the street and saw that there were all kinds of secondhand goods inside.
Just now, my son not only showed super strength, but the key is that when she faced threats, he chose to bravely stand up to protect her. This was very gratifying to her.
Irene nodded.
However, Xiang Nan did not give up easily and continued to search. Fortunately, he carefully stacked every opened book. So even though he kept picking, the shop owner didn't chase him away.
Just as he was about to hand it to Irene, a hand as dry as an eagle's talon grabbed the dress.
“Don’t make trouble in the store.” At this time, the owner of the second-hand robe shop came over and took charge of the order.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene.
Try to find something in good condition and not too shabby. But it won’t be easy because everyone is trying to do it.
The magic wand in the woman's hand was instantly released, flying high into the air, and was caught by Xiang Nan.
Seeing this, the woman became even more proud and giggled, "You don't even have a magic wand, and you still want to protect your child? Get out of here!"
Xiang Nan handed the captured wand to the shop owner, "We didn't cause trouble, it wasn't us who started it."
Irene blushed, but did not give up. Although she has a gloomy personality and is unsociable, her son and husband are still everything to her.
Flourish and Blotts Bookstore sells all new books, all priced at more than two galleons. Three galleons can buy a new book.
There are also books like "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future", "Quidditch Origins", "Guide to Raising Dragons", "Scary Animals Deep Under the Earth", "How Prefects Gain Power", "How to Correctly Eliminate Household Pests", etc. wait wait wait.
"Okay, let's go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. With the three galleons you saved, we should be able to buy a book." Erin nodded in agreement.
Then he looked at Xiang Nan with admiration and said, "I have never seen a child as outstanding as you. All the robes, gloves, cloaks, and hats you bought from me today are half price."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiang Nan discovered an eighty percent new black robe. He pulled it out of the pile of clothes in one go.
After buying clothes, Xiang Nan and her son walked out of the second-hand robe shop.
As soon as Irene saw it, she quickly took Xiang Nan over and rummaged through the pile of clothes.
Xiang Nan immediately walked into it and slowly rummaged through the old books.
At this moment, Xiang Nan took the lead and shouted, "Expelliarmus!"
What he was looking for were practical books on advanced magic, magic theory, and cutting-edge magic.
“This is what I saw first.” The owner of that hand, a woman in rags with abscesses on her face and teeth stuffed with moss, said loudly to Xiang Nan.
"Mom, let's go to the thrift store to buy second-hand books. We can buy a few more." Xiang Nan advised. To him, it doesn't matter whether the book is new or old, the key is the knowledge inside.
"I've seen it all." The shopkeeper nodded, then looked at the woman, "Get out, you're not welcome here." Without the wand, the woman was like a wild dog without its fangs. She didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and could only feel dejected. and walked out. After she walked out of the store, the owner threw her wand back to her.
“I want to buy three sets of plain work robes for new students, a black peaked hat for daytime wear, a pair of protective gloves made of dragon skin and a black winter cloak with silver buttons.” Eileen said to the shop owner.
"You brat, do you want to rob me?" the woman threatened Xiang Nan with a ferocious face.
“Tongtongshi...” The woman was about to cast a spell.
He is not interested in eating or having fun. He wants to learn more knowledge and work hard to improve his strength.
Xiang Nan was flipping through the pages when he suddenly saw a bamboo slip with six characters "True Interpretation of the Five Elements of Taoism" written in seal script.
He quickly took it over and unfolded it. He saw that it was densely packed with ancient seal characters. Fortunately, Xiang Nan was very knowledgeable and knew most of these characters.
