Fang Linyan stared at Elizabeth for a long while:
"No, no, you are too young, and what I lack now is a veteran with rich experience. If your grandfather is still alive, then he must be fine, but you are far away!"
Elizabeth said unconvinced:
"You have to tell me something!"
Fang Linyan said seriously:
"I need to buy some materials, very rare materials that are not available in the Muggle world. Most of them should be related to magical animals."
"And the crux of the problem is that I don't know enough about these materials, and there are too many profiteers in this world! In desperation, I am even willing to give extra money to explode their profits, but these guys are still tireless Want to pit me!"
Elizabeth's eyes lit up all at once:
"If you really are here for this, then find the right person!"
Fang Linyan was puzzled:
"You never think you are qualified for this job?"
Elizabeth proudly said:
"Of course, I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child! I published my first paper in the Magic Herald when I was eleven! Then Robbie was taken by Robbie to live with magical creatures during winter and summer vacations. The various secret realms in China are running from the Middle East to the west, so far, as many as eleven new species have been discovered in my hands."
Fang Linyan said dubiously:
"Secret Realm?"
Elizabeth said:
"Don't you know? All magical creatures, including some famous magic buildings, are built on the secret realm attached to the main plane!"
"The magic power in the secret realm is more abundant, and it is more suitable for practicing magic and magical creatures to survive. Hogwarts is also built in the secret realm. Platform 9 and three-quarters is the entrance to this great secret realm!"
Fang Linyan Road:
"There is such a thing?"
Elizabeth said:
"If you think about it, Muggle technology is also very advanced now, airplanes, satellites, nuclear weapons!"
"If there were no secret realms, the magical creatures would have been slaughtered long ago, and even magical buildings would be difficult to keep mysterious."
Fang Linyan thought about it, and found that this is indeed the truth.
And Elizabeth was about to continue talking, but a man came in at the door who wanted to buy cakes. She sent it away, then pulled down the door and hung up the closing sign.
After that, Fang Linyan was asked to wait, she went upstairs and took down a basin-sized box.
After opening this box, a dozen newspapers appeared in it, all of which were essays published by Elizabeth, and there were even moving figures applauding.
There are several gold medals awarded by the Society of Animal Protection at the bottom of the box, which were awarded in recognition of her discovery of new species.
Fang Linyan looked around, then suddenly looked at Elizabeth and said:
"You seem to be short of money?"
This is not difficult to see. Elizabeth's slightly worn clothes, the plastic accessories on her hair, and her cautious look when she is looking for change, are all telling this.
Elizabeth nodded embarrassingly:
"Yes, so if I help you get what you want to buy, can you buy me an ice cream hot pot? I know that the store will offer a 20% discount after nine o'clock in the evening."
Fang Linyan noticed that when Elizabeth talked about ice cream hot pot, her eyes were shining, and it seemed that this little girl was still a foodie! He did not answer this question head-on, and then went on to say to Elizabeth:
"I think according to your family conditions and personal ability, you should not be short of money."
Elizabeth sighed sadly:
"After Robbie passed away, my parents cut off my financial resources and told my friends not to provide me with support."
"They want to force me to be a lawyer, but my dream is to help Robbie complete his book of magical creatures on the tip of his tongue, so I fell out with them, and now I can only rely on the baking shop in my classmate’s house. Work to support yourself."
Fang Linyan nodded slightly, and then took out the list of things she wanted to buy:
"Can you help me fix a few props on this list?"
Elizabeth snatched the list immediately, looked at it carefully, and said after a while:
"Three pieces! At least three pieces!"
Fang Linyan Road:
"About how much will it cost?"
Elizabeth tilted her head and thought:
"At least 80 Jin Jialong should be spent!"
Fang Linyan simply raised a slap and said:
"My budget is five hundred Jin Jialong, you help me get three materials, the remaining Jin Jialong will be yours!"
"How much money you can add to Robbie's publication funding depends on your bargaining ability."
Elizabeth was stunned at once:
"You, what are you talking about? Five hundred jinjarons?"
Fang Linyan Road:
"Yes, I believe Robbie must have told you about my ancestor, that handsome wrench, he is a very generous person! And his appearance is stronger than his generosity."
"And I am also a very generous person, so when can we leave? I hope to get this done as soon as possible. In that case, maybe I can treat you to an ice cream hot pot!"
Elizabeth said at a loss:
"No, really don't need so much!"
Fang Linyan waved his hand:
"Well, then, after you get the money, you can finalize Mr. Robbie's last wish and let the magical creature on the tip of your tongue be officially published, and then you can return the remaining money to me."
Elizabeth still looked a little embarrassed, but Fang Linyan said simply:
"Back when my ancestors and Mr. Robbie were born and died together and fought side by side, they weren't mothers-in-laws like you. They left. Would you please save me a little time?"
one hour later,
Elizabeth took Fang Linyan to a ship on the Thames.
This ship seems to be quite young. The huge mottled hull and the smokey chimney are its first impression.
When Elizabeth, a girl who looked thin and timid, stood in front of the ship's escalator, she even gave the impression that a weak woman was about to step into a fire pit.
However, it was clear that Elizabeth was not here for the first time. She was like a small deer walking briskly along the narrow passage to the bottom of the cabin.
There are a large group of rude and dirty sailors playing cards here. Their yellow teeth, the stench from their bodies, chest hair and tattoos will make any little girl intimidated, but Elizabeth took the initiative to say hello to them:
"Hey, rotten tooth, how are you feeling lucky today!"
"Rotten sail, be careful that your golden tooth is about to fall."
"Old Sea Dog, it's time to throw away your hip flask. You have to think about your life after landing..."
"..."
Surprisingly, these sailors also responded to Elizabeth one after another, some shook their fingers to her, and some raised the metal hip flask they carried with them.
Finally, a fierce looking guy stood in front of Elizabeth. He was blindfolded, and his left hand was a sharp iron hook. Fang Linyan had already tightened his muscles and was ready to stand up.
Because he felt that a robbery was about to happen, and the victim was the buyer he had finally found.
However, the one-eyed dragon said to Elizabeth in a completely different gentle tone:
"Hey, Little Bell, you have to stop, because the boss is talking about business inside."
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and said:
"Who told you that I can't go in while the seal is talking about business?"
The Cyclops shrugged and said:
"Of course you can go in, but that was when you were alone, but today you brought a stranger!"
Elizabeth said:
"He is not a stranger."
The one-eyed dragon sneered:
"Oh, then what is he?"
Elizabeth said:
"He is a big buyer who can make your boss happy."
The Cyclops shook his head and said:
"Sorry, Little Bell, I didn't receive a notice from the boss that strangers can be allowed in, so he can't go in."
At this time, Fang Linyan became a little impatient. He took out the small purse decisively, then reached in and grabbed a handful of Jin Jialong from it.
Seeing these clinking and jumping golden elves, everyone present was dumbfounded. Of course they knew these hard currencies, especially after Fang Linyan kept grabbing handfuls of Jin Jialong, their breathing They all started to become muddy, and it was obvious that some bold ideas had begun to appear in their minds.
However, immediately after they heard a peculiar "crunch" sound, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the past.
It turned out that Fang Linyan had already put away his purse at this time, and he grabbed the doorknob beside him. This sound was heard from the doorknob that had already begun to distort!
This is no other place, but the lower cabin of the freighter! Because the problem of sealing must be considered, the door handles are very sturdy. They are forged steel, or the kind of rotary watertight door!
Needless to say, the eyes of a dry sailor are almost about to fall off, and the look in Fang Linyan's eyes is similar to that of a beast.
Fortunately, this is the magical world. Even Muggles have long since adapted to existences with supernatural abilities. For Fang Linyan's horrible performance, this group of guys can understand and awe at the same time.
And this awe is twofold, one is based on money, and the other is based on strength!
Then Fang Linyan stared at the Cyclops and walked in directly. The Cyclops secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not even daring to let go.
After walking into the cabin inside, Fang Linyan was sluggish, because he even had the illusion of being at the vegetable market:
Because the huge space in front of you, the densely packed stalls, even the smell of the air, and the buzzing sound of a large number of people talking, all have the same effect as the vegetable market.
The difference is that the vegetable market sells vegetables, but here are all kinds of smuggled goods and contraband!
At the top of the center of the market, there is a slanted tag with the words Camden on it, but from the tattered tag, it can be seen that about one-third of it is gone. Save.
It is said that when it was intact, the tag was written on the Camden Import and Export Co., Ltd., but no one cares about this anymore, so this ghost place is called "Camton Supermarket", or "Camton Supermarket". Dayton Mall".
It is a huge mobile illegal market, which is the secondary reason why it has been able to avoid the Ministry of Magic many times.
As for the main reason, of course, it is because there is an umbrella inside the battered Ministry of Magic, and the benefits of the umbrella are amazing.
At this time, Fang Linyan completely trusted Elizabeth, because at least it proved that Elizabeth's connections and ideas at this time were correct.
The profiteer owners in Knipple Alley and Diagonal Alley do retail markets, and the place where they buy goods should be in such a wholesale black market! If there is nothing Fang Linyan is looking for here, then Fang Linyan really recognizes it.
After walking a few steps inside, Elizabeth stuck out her tongue and said:
"Wow, you looked so fierce just now, you seem to be quite familiar with this kind of underground market."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Our family is still very powerful in the Himalayas, and the gray industries such as smuggling will have to pump water for us, otherwise it will not go on at all."
"This group of people looks ruthless, but they are actually the nature of businessmen. They are just looking for money. They can talk easily when they see money. What I worry about the most is not to spend money, but to spend money to buy good goods. It depends on you. Check it out for me."
"By the way, why do people here call you little bell?"
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and said:
"Because Robbie has called me Little Bell since I was a kid."
"When these people smuggle, they will inevitably encounter some ill and injured precious creatures. They will come to Robbie to help treat or tame them. Robbie will also take me with him. Of course I am familiar with it."
"By the way, I just bought what I want? In this case, it is more convenient to purchase at a lower price."
Fang Linyan waved his hand very simply:
"The budget of five hundred Jin Jialong is whatever you want. I only need to get the three materials on the list."
Soon, Elizabeth took Fang Linyan to a deserted shop. The shop had a large facade, but there were very few goods outside.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan has a bottom line in his heart. This market is so lively, and the rent for the shop is sure to be very expensive. However, this shop has a large storefront and sells less and is deserted, but it can survive here. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Then it can only explain one thing: the boss here is either very rich, or the outside business is just a cover, and the big business that really makes money is hidden inside.
After Elizabeth came to the door of this shop, a lazy big man who was sitting glanced at her and said:
"Little Bell, I heard that you were all locked up by your family. Last time a coelacanth was dying. I couldn't find anyone if I wanted to ask you for help. Why did you come here today?"
Elizabeth snorted coldly:
"Don't you think the Welsh gang are good? Why are you looking for me?"
The big guy smiled and said:
"Isn't it better to have friendship with you?"
Elizabeth said:
"Ha ha......."
After listening to them chatting, another question in Fang Linyan's mind was answered, that is, why Elizabeth, who claims to be very good at magical creatures, is reduced to working in a bakery?
It turned out that she was still a fledgling novice after all. Since the death of her grandfather Robbie, the blank market left over has been rushed up and divided up.
By the time Elizabeth found out that her family did not support herself and wanted to control herself by cutting off the source of income, it had been half a year.
Fortunately, Robbie's name is big enough, and all the things passed to Elizabeth are high in gold, so after Elizabeth returned to the market, she also received relevant orders one after another, and began to "recover lost ground."
But the colleague is an enemy, she must have violated the interests of some people if she wanted to kill back at this time, so a guy named Wales picked the lead and made a round for Elizabeth.
Where did the little girl know that the human heart was sinister, and she immediately sank in, and the six flute birds who took over the treatment died cleanly!
