Return of Salazar Slytherin

10- Just a few inconspicuous gadgets

"My lord, you——"

"Here, take it." Rhys put the laurel wand into Lupet's arms.

"This is the first time I have seen someone actively choosing a wand." While putting the wand in his pocket, Lupet said with emotion that today was really an eye-opener.

In other words, ever since she decided to follow this 'adult', her horizons have been constantly refreshing.

"So what is the normal process?" Rhys' curiosity was also aroused, and he wanted to know what kind of "the wand chooses the wizard" scene would happen if there were no interruptions.

"Mr. Ollivander would have selected a suitable wand for us based on his experience after measuring our body data, and then let us try it. If the wand chooses us, that's fine. If we are not chosen by the wand or Mr. Ollivandor says it doesn't fit, we get another one."

"..."

In his opinion, the essence of this operation is still that the wizard chooses the wand, and the wand maker plays an overly strong role in the process, which requires extremely high levels of the producer himself.

He himself was not very optimistic about Ollivander's persistence. In his opinion, using only unicorn tail feathers, phoenix tail feathers, and fire dragon nerves to make the core of the wand is an overkill. Just like beef, honey, and wine are great ingredients, but which restaurant only uses them? Cooking with only these three ingredients is a bit too extreme.

But in general, Garrick Ollivander is still making progress. The three wand cores he chose are indeed extremely powerful magical substances, and more importantly, they only cost seven Galleons - Rhys is really doubtful.

Can Ollivander make money at this low price?

Rhys just passed by the drugstore and noticed that the price of an ounce of dragon liver almost exceeded one galleon.

If he really was that kind of charitable wandmaker and was helping the younger generation like that, Rhys wouldn't mind giving Mr. Ollivander any help he could.

After looking up at the position of the sun and realizing that it was still early for lunch, Rhys decided to go to Knockturn Alley again for new knowledge, sell some of his unused magic props, and use the money in exchange to buy some books.

Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley are actually connected.

As a werewolf, Lupet is naturally a frequent visitor to Knockturn Alley. She expertly led Rhys around an inconspicuous corner, through a twisting alley, and then arrived at Knockturn Alley, a gray area in the magical world.

Unlike the glamorous Diagon Alley, the overall tone of Knockturn Alley is dark and gloomy, and the shops in the alley seem to be inseparable from black magic. The shop window near the entrance displayed a pile of shrunken human heads, while the shop diagonally opposite had a large cage crawling with huge black spiders at the door.

There were some ragged wizards gathered in groups in the alley, whispering, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

"Most of the shops here have something to do with the big shots in the Ministry of Magic," Lupet whispered as they were not in a hurry, she introduced Knockturn Alley to Rhys. "Those big shots from pure-blood families like to do shady deals here, and many of the Unsatisfied wizards here will also take on tasks that wander on the edge of the law to make a living."

"Hmm." Rhys nodded, indicating that this kind of operation is very common. Wizards and Muggles were playing this glove trick thousands of years ago. He believed that this routine would not be lost for another thousand years.

"You seem familiar with the people and concepts here?"

Lupet forced a forced smile: "Because I am a werewolf..." it was also hard for her to make ends meet.

While the two were chatting, a pair of eyes full of hatred fell on them.

MacMillan, who had healed his finger, stood at the corner of the alley, looking gloomily at Rhys and Lupet, who were going deeper into Knockturn Alley.

Originally, he was planning to swallow the bitter pill and admit that he was unlucky, but who would have thought that these two people actually dared to take the initiative to step into Knockturn Alley? In such a mixed area, it is normal for accidents to happen.

MacMillan would not miss this chance! A God-given opportunity!

He looked around and found a familiar figure in a dark corner. He quickly walked up to the man who was wrapped tightly in a robe and threw a money bag filled with gold galleons in front of him.

"Twenty Galleons, and there will be twenty Galleons left after this is done."

"good."

…

"Is this the store you recommended?" Rhys stopped in front of a store called Borgin and Burkes.

Borgin and Burkes, like other shops in Knockturn Alley, has a dilapidated and gloomy appearance. Through the window, he can vaguely see many magic props exuding 'evil' aura in the store: crazy rotating glass eyeballs, blood-stained playing cards, withered of manpower...

"Yes, if you want to sell black magic items, this is definitely the best choice. The owner of the Borgin and Burkes store has a vicious vision, but they also lower the price very hard."

"It's okay, I know it." Rhys paid special attention to the prices of magic materials when he was in Diagon Alley. He had a basic idea of ​​the prices in today's magic world. It was still very difficult to trick him.

After entering the store, a hunched man appeared in front of the two of them and said in a smooth accent: "Welcome to Borgin and Burkes."

After taking a look at the two people's clothes and seeing clearly the shopping bags with the Extraordinary Clothing logo on their hands, the smile on his face became stronger.

"Borgin and Burkes is a shop that specializes in providing secret valuation services for rare and ancient magical artifacts inherited from ancient wizarding families. Believe me, there is no one more professional than us in Knockturn Alley. Welcome, I can help! What do you two do?"

"I'm here to sell something, a few inconspicuous gadgets." Rhys took out three boxes and placed them on the counter.

"Oh?" Seeing that the two of them were here to sell things, Mr. Borgin's smile faded slightly and his expression became more serious.

If the two of them came to the store to buy something, Mr. Borgin would have the initiative, but if it was the other way around, the initiative would not be with him. He may be able to buy a precious collection at a low price through his own deception, or he may make a mistake and accidentally receive a fake.

Mr. Borgin became serious and put on a pair of pince-nez glasses, spread a piece of black velvet on the counter, and finally took out a pair of dragon leather gloves and put them on his hands.

He opened three boxes in turn.

The first box contained a bracelet strung with white beads, the second box contained a light yellow candle, and the third box contained a brown peach pit-sized seed.

There was a strange look in Mr. Borgin's eyes. He looked up at Rhys, hoping that he could introduce these three magic items.

Naturally, Rhys would not refuse.

He picked up the bracelet in the first box and flicked the yellowed beads on it.

"The beads on this bracelet are taken from the skull of the goblin. Wearing them is very helpful in making magic props. Adding one in when making metal products can greatly improve the quality of forged weapons."

Borgin: "? !"

Lupet : "! ! !"
