Chapter 4059 4061【Knockturn Alley】
Xiang Nan immediately entered Kwantai Alley.
This is a rugged and dark alley, with shops selling dark magic items on both sides.
For example, there are some shriveled human heads on display in one store window; one store window is crawling with huge black poisonous spiders; one store window is filled with colorful venomous snakes; and another store sells poisonous candles made from human oil...
There were many wizards with gloomy faces and evil eyes gathered in the alley. They looked at Xiang Nan and sneered sinisterly, as if they were looking at a fat pig that had strayed into the slaughterhouse.
Xiang Nan was not afraid. He counted the house numbers as he walked, and finally came to No. 12 Knockturn Alley. He saw that this was also a shop with the sign "Vampire's Kiss" written on it.
There are jars of blood in its display window, including red, green, black, and white blood of various colors.
Some blood exudes a gleaming white light, some blood boils like lava, some blood is as thick as asphalt, and some blood exudes a foul smell...
"No wonder Giggs recommended this place." Xiang Nan nodded, "After all, who else knows how to collect blood better than vampires."
Xiang Nan then opened the door and walked in.
The store was very dark, with only one candle lighting it.
However, Xiang Nan was accomplished in martial arts and had a sharp eye. Even though the lights were dim, he still noticed the shopkeeper standing behind the counter at a glance.
He was tall and thin, with a pale face and blood-red eyes. He stood motionless like a statue.
But Xiang Nan knew that he was not a statue, but a vampire.
“Boss, is there any Chinese fire dragon blood? I’d like a pint.” Xiang Nan asked directly.
"No." The shop owner looked at Xiang Nan and replied coldly.
"I was introduced by Adam Giggs." Xiang Nan was not discouraged. He smiled slightly and took out ten galleons. "I bought it sincerely."
The shopkeeper touched the ten galleons and nodded, "Fifty galleons."
Xiang Nan didn’t set a price and nodded directly, “Okay.”
“Then follow me.” The shopkeeper then turned around and walked into the back room.
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment and then walked in.
…
After walking into the back room, the shopkeeper opened another door. Inside the door was a downward corridor, which was narrow, dark, and winding.
Xiang Nan followed the shop owner all the way down, and walked for about forty or fifty meters. The further he went down, the damper the corridor became, and the smell became more unpleasant.
Xiang Nan's endurance was good enough, and he couldn't help but frown, feeling like he was walking in a fermenting methane pit.
Finally, they came to the end and saw a door at the end.
The shopkeeper took out his magic wand and knocked on the door rhythmically, and the door suddenly opened. A strong and pungent smell of blood was exhaled, making people nauseous.
But the shop owner seemed to smell nothing and walked straight in with Xiang Nan.
"This is..." Xiang Nan went in and took a look, but was stunned.
There is a large chopping board in the middle of the room. On the chopping board are many cold daggers. Each dagger has a deep blood groove on it. You can tell without asking that it is used for bloodletting.
On the left is a cross with blood-stained shackles hanging on it. I don’t know how much blood is stained on it. To the west are a dozen gleaming meat hooks hanging with various kinds of meat. Judging from the shapes, there are human beings, centaurs, mountain monsters, and even goblins... "This is your burial place." The shop owner chuckled, "I haven't smelled such fresh, fragrant and energetic food for a long time. Blood must be very valuable."
“You want to kill me?” Xiang Nan was shocked.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't buy blood, but I was bleeding. No wonder Eileen didn't let him go to Knockturn Alley. Sure enough, there were pitfalls everywhere.
“It’s not just me.” The shop owner waved his hand and smiled.
Immediately, I heard a few pops and pops, and four more people suddenly appeared in the room, all of them apparating.
They stood in the direction of the five-pointed star and surrounded Xiang Nan. They all looked at him greedily, as if he was not a human being but a lamb to be slaughtered.
"You are so unscrupulous, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the Ministry of Magic?" Xiang Nan asked coldly.
“How smart do you think they are?” chuckled the shopkeeper.
“This slaughterhouse is very hidden. If you don’t know the password, you can’t get in. All they will see is the warehouse.” Another person explained.
Xiang Nan suddenly realized that this slaughterhouse was similar to the Room of Requirement. Unless you knew the code to open the door, you would never be able to enter.
…
"Don't waste time, come together!" the shopkeeper said loudly, waving his pale hand, and a black mist suddenly hit Xiang Nan.
"The strength is relaxed and the strength is released...", "The legs stand stiff and stop dead...", "Quickly imprisoned...", "The soul leaves the body..." The other four people immediately drew out their wands and released spells.
Their wands sprayed out different beams of blue, gray, red, etc., aiming at Xiang Nan in the field.
Xiang Nan suddenly dodges, as fast as a ghost, and with lightning speed, he dodges in front of the shopkeeper and knocks him down with one punch.
Others were startled when they saw this, and hurriedly turned their wands, about to cast another spell.
Xiang Nan immediately stretched out his ten fingers, and shot out ten quick finger strikes, which immediately immobilized the four people on the spot, unable to move.
"Humph, you actually dare to take my idea? You really don't know who you have offended?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but sneered.
These five wizards not only have slow spell casting speed, but also slower reaction speed. In Jin Yong's martial arts world, the speed of the five of them cannot even compare to the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River.
The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River charged into battle and almost succeeded in assassinating Genghis Khan. If it were these five people who went to assassinate him, they would probably be killed in a flurry of arrows.
It can be seen that the general combat power of the wizarding world is not high, otherwise it would not have been defeated by the Muggles and fled, and they would have no choice but to choose to cut off from the Muggle world.
“Who are you?” the shopkeeper also asked in surprise.
A group of them have been killing people and stealing goods here for many years. With the combined attack of the five of them, even the Auror of the Ministry of Magic would suffer. Unexpectedly, the boat capsized in the ditch today, which really surprised him.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's what I do next that matters." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "I have always wanted to do some experiments, but I just couldn't find the right partner. Who would have thought that you would actually come to my door? Isn’t it a coincidence?”
“What do you want to do?” the shopkeeper suddenly asked in horror.
Xiang Nan didn't answer. He silently used the "Marriage Clothes Magic Skill" and sucked it at the five shopkeepers.
He originally guessed that martial arts, magic, Taoism, and supernatural powers were connected. After getting the "True Explanation of the Five Elements and Taoism", he became more determined in this idea.
In his opinion, the so-called qi, magic power, and mana are nothing more than a kind of energy. I just don't know if I can absorb the magic power by "transferring flowers and trees".
Now is the time to try it out.
