"Bang, bang, bang"
Under Merlin's watch, the woman in black held out her hand, and at the crossroads, the wall of the closed record shop rhythmically tapped three times on three different bricks.
At the next moment, on the empty wall in front of us, a hidden cauldron bar appeared strangely.
The woman opened the door, glanced at Merlin, and then entered the bar by herself.
Merlin followed, and stepped into it.
In front of me, this bar is really like a small bar in the Middle Ages, with a brick fireplace burning. The wooden bar counters have been grinded out of time. At the extremely retro table, a group of strangely dressed people are drinking, smoking, or whispering.
In the dim light, no one noticed the woman and Merlin walking into the tavern.
In order to pretend that he often came, Merlin did not observe anything around him. He followed the woman through the dilapidated bar to the small patio behind the bar.
There looks nothing here, only a dilapidated trash can and some weeds.
"Lord Colson, open the door."
The woman stood aside, akimbo, looking at Merlin. she says:
"I'm going to Upturn Alley to deal with some things. You should be familiar with it, right?"
"I'm not familiar with it at all, girl, if you weren't leading the way, I wouldn't even find the bar entrance."
Merlin said a little in his heart, but his face was calm.
He stepped forward, recalling Mr. Arthur's description at the time, reaching out his fingers, wrapping his magic, counting three bricks in the direction of the trash can, and then counting two horizontally.
His finger tapped lightly on it three times and then retracted.
At the next moment, in front of Merlin's eyes, the masonry of this ancient brick wall spread out in a ring shape from the center to the surroundings under the control of invisible magic.
In the clicking sound, it shifted to both sides, revealing a hole, just like an archway.
This is the road to Diagon Alley.
Sure enough, it was full of mysterious styles of wizards.
The girl next to him watched this scene, she said with some curiosity:
"Don't you need a wand? The wizards who used to lead the way used the wand to open the door."
Merlin snorted. He recalled the fact that Mr. Arthur told him, and said blankly:
"That's just the misconception that the old wizards used to fool the little wizard."
"As long as it is a magical thing, you can open this door to the magical world. As for Knocking Alley, I won't go, I haven't been convenient to go there recently."
"Well, whatever you want."
The lady dressed like a ninja walked into the arch in front of her eyes, and she said to Merlin who was following:
"About the good rewards we said, I will ask you again, Coulson, are you sure you only need some trivial news?"
"The news is sometimes more valuable than the real thing, ma'am."
Merlin looked down at the wizard's street in front of him, and he whispered:
"Not to mention, what I need, at your level, is estimated to be difficult to find, I will not embarrass you. A message about powerful magic items, preferably offensive magic items...just give I have a definite message, and we will be clear. I will never tell you what will happen tonight, and you will naturally be able to complete your single trial."
"But don't try to deceive me, ma'am."
Merlin said softly:
"For the deceiver, the wizard has never shown mercy."
"Father has told me, try not to deal with the black wizard, he said you are a group of lunatics."
The girl walked to the end of the arch and looked back at Merlin. She said in a playful voice:
"But now it seems that you guys are not so good at dealing."
"Be careful!"
Merlin stared into the girl's eyes and said:
"Not all dark wizards are friendly. Well, now it's time to separate, and I have given you the address. But there is another question I neglected and I have not asked."
"What's your name? Madam, what should I call you?"
The female ninja shrugged and replied softly:
"My name is Talia."
"Well, it sounds like a boy's name. It seems that your father must want you to be a boy."
Merlin commented on the sentence, and the result drew the girl's glare.
After a moment, the girl sighed slightly:
"Yes, you are right. He always wanted me to be a boy, and hope that I can inherit the glory of the family, but it doesn't matter. Even a woman can do what he expected... I will prove to him! "
"Women, no worse than men!"
"Good idea, equality between men and women is the supreme truth, in short, come on, Talia."
Merlin commented casually, and the next moment, he turned into the state of the shadow cloak.
There is no nostalgia for leaving, it seems like it is racing against time.
Thalia didn't care too much about it. She knew that many dark wizards had some quirks and couldn't use common sense. She didn't stay too long, and turned and left in the other direction of Diagon Alley.
After a few minutes, Merlin appeared in another street.
He didn't want to have a relationship with the mysterious woman of Talia, plus all the rumors that he had heard of the wizard had been used up, and it would be very easy to reveal it if he stayed.
Having successfully arrived at Diagon Alley, Merlin did not want to provoke other disturbances.
It was midnight, and the entire diagonal lane seemed a bit deserted, and there was absolutely no view of its lively scenery.
But Merlin did not come to see the scenery. He wrapped his trench coat and moved quickly on the street. At the end of the street, he saw a tall white building, like a tall tower, which looked less inclined.
Even at midnight, the building appeared brightly lit.
This is the Gu Ling Pavilion.
The only bank in the wizarding world is said to be the safest place in the world. Run by fairies who are good at calculating and hiding things.
As Meilin approached the Guling Pavilion, he saw a shiny bronze gate that had been wiped, very majestic.
At the door, a fairy guard wearing a scarlet and gold uniform stood.
In New York, he had seen a big goblin in a nightclub that belonged to Midnight Daddy, but it was a very beautiful creature, just like a fairy with long wings.
But what is now in front of Merlin is the pure blood goblin of Europe, which looks very ugly.
They are very short, as high as Merlin’s legs.
There are generally green or brownish-green skin, pleated faces, narrow eyes, and sharp ears like bats.
Four short body, huge head, looks weak and can not help but feel the wind.
But they are smart...
Almost one of the smartest of all the magical creatures.
As Merlin approached, the uniformed goblin guard bowed to him, and Melin nodded slightly to the goblins. Then he stepped past the second silver gate engraved with text.
He hardly stopped, and walked straight into the hall of Gu Ling Pavilion.
It was an extremely spacious marble hall with long mahogany cabinets on both sides, just like the scene of a medieval bank.
There is a goblin sitting behind each cabinet. Most of the goblins are registered on a large account book with white or black feather pens and calculated. Some goblins are called coins in a scale made of bronze.
Merlin walked in front of a goblin weighing the coins. He took a stack of dollars from his wallet, handed it over, and said in a pretense hoarse voice:
"All replaced by Jin Jialong!"
Merlin thought that these fairies would question them more or less.
But not.
The goblin in front of him took the US dollar and placed it in front of him. He skillfully picked up one and looked at the light. It seemed to be discerning the authenticity.
A moment later, he handed Merlin a jingle bag of coins.
From beginning to end, the fairy didn't say a word.
Obviously, their daily business also includes the exchange of various coins for the wizards, which saves Merlin a lot.
Merlin walked out of the Guling Pavilion while the elf guards bowed off.
He only knows the exchange rate of Kimalon, but he does not know its purchasing power, and Merlin does not intend to leave too much Kimalon on his body. He will soon go to Paris, and these things are meaningless in this world.
Therefore, he intends to replace the nearly 3,000 US dollars with more than 400 gold gallons and spend them all.
Merlin went to the bookstore first, and Mr. Arthur only allowed him to keep those textbooks for 3 years, which was definitely not enough for Merlin who was new to magic.
So he planned to see if he could buy his own magic book in the bookstore.
But the result was very disappointing.
This bookstore named Lizhen Bookstore does have the textbooks that Merlin needs, but Merlin must provide the admission certificates of the three major schools of magic in Europe, or the admission certificates of the Efmony School of Magic in North America, otherwise they will not Sell ​​him the entire set of teaching materials.
Without proof of admission, Merlin could only buy books that he could not understand at all or that were completely useless to him.
Merlin spent more than ten minutes browsing through the bookstore and saw a travel note written by a guy named Gidero Lockhart, describing the strange things seen around the world from the perspective of the wizard .
He found it interesting, so he bought a set.
Then Merlin went to the shop of Mrs. Mokin's robe next to the bookstore. He knew from Arthur and Hermione that the robes of the wizards did not have the magical magic effect as the legend, it was just like the clothes of ordinary people. Decorations.
However, the clothes in this gown shop are all attached with the magical functions of automatic ironing and self-repair.
In other words, a set of clothes can really be worn for a lifetime.
This surprised Merlin, so he ordered four sets of clothes in one go from the kind, fat and short witch shop owner.
A casual gray suit and shirt, a black combat suit for stealth operations, a traditional wizard gown for Little Hermione, and finally a purple dress ready to be given to her cousin.
These four sets of clothes cost almost half of Merlin's gold gallon, but Merlin felt very worthwhile.
After all, these are four sets of clothes that can be worn for a lifetime... and the fat and kind shopkeeper also sent an extra black cloak that can be adjusted according to body size.
The best thing about this pavilion shop is that it provides home delivery service. Merlin left the address of his hotel. The witch promised that within three days, four sets of Merlin’s clothes would be delivered to his window. .
It only takes Merlin to take the time to open the windows on time.
Merlin said goodbye to the gentle Mrs. Mokin, and walked along the streets of Diagon Alley in a leisurely posture along the softly lit street lights, passing many magical places along the way.
He even visited the "hometown" of Crookshanks.
It was a place called Magic Zoo, which was actually a little noisy shop. It is said that Hermione bought the ugly, ginger, and some crooked kitten Crookshank.
But Merlin did not plan to buy a pet. He was not a traditional wizard after all.
In fact, he doesn't like to be accompanied by small animals that are too clever.
This also disappointed the female shop owner with heavy glasses, but after buying 50 bags of fine magic cat food in Meilinhua 50 gallon, the female shopkeeper who made a small business was happy again. When he got up, he also gave Merlin a small magic pocket.
It's a bit shabby, but it can hold 40 bags of cat food in one go, which means that it can also hold weapons of equal volume...
Although the female shopkeeper did not recommend Merlin to dress too heavy things, this old pocket has been used for a long time. Its ability to withstand is limited, and it is not a top-notch magical creation.
But even so, Merlin has been very satisfied. Diagon Alley has no place to sell magic pockets. According to the female shopkeeper, although this kind of alchemy product is very cheap, only an alchemist can make it.
Merlin does not know any alchemist, and he has no way to know.
Merlin, who prepared a gift for Crookshanks, was in a relaxed mood. He continued his fantasy journey. He saw a shop selling magic brooms, but he was not interested.
Which normal adult man or woman would be willing to put the broom between his legs and then sit on the broom and fly in the air?
"This is silly."
Merlin scoffed at the broomstick in the storage.
He went on and bought a second-hand cloak for little Eric in a second-hand robe shop so that he could wear it on rainy days.
I bought Fury another half-old flight jacket and a somewhat old-style frog mirror, even if Merlin compensated Fury's favorite sunglasses.
There is also a pair of white leather gloves, which are very suitable for archers to protect fingers, and also have an automatic repair function, which is given to Button.
Near the second-hand robe shop, in the Primer Piner Beauty Cosmetology Shop at 275 Diagon Alley, Merlin chose a set of affordable potion cosmetics to prepare for the 65-year-old Natasha Romanov Madam, she may need these things very much.
In the end, Merlin bought some good cigars in a shop and prepared to give them as gifts.
Eric, Barton, Natasha, Fury and Gattler are some of his few friends.
At the dawn of the dawn, Merlin carrying many bags stood in front of his final destination.
In front of him, it was a small, cramped, dilapidated shop. In front of the shop window, there is a magic wand placed on a faded purple mat for display.
On top of him, there is a shabby old sign that has been somewhat painted off.
"Ollivander Wand Shop..."
Merlin took a deep breath and walked into the store. When the bell on the top of the door rang, he whispered:
"My wand..."
"You have been waiting for a long time."
