The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 280 Bojin Blog’s Shop

"What are you looking at"?

Astoria calmed down and then asked Zhang Qi.

"Nothing, let's go back first and cancel today's matters."

Zhang Qi's face under the mask had frowned, but he didn't really want to take this risk with another person.

"Don't you think you dislike me for holding you back?"

Astoria hit the nail on the head.

"I do have this idea, but if you can go with me, I can also take care of you."

After Zhang Qi thought carefully, he decided that it would be better for the two of them to continue exploring together.

In this way, if they encounter a situation that they cannot solve, the two of them can drag it out for a longer time and have more opportunities to escape.

“I sometimes wonder if it would be a mistake to take you to explore these things with your own eyes”?

As the two walked inside, Zhang Qi whispered.

"But I hope my sister won't know these things. If she knows that I go on such an adventure with you again, she will definitely kill me."

Astoria groaned.

"Your sister has taken good care of you. Although you can still understand life in the midst of suffering, you have not seen many dark things compared to other children of pure-blood noble families."

The two continued walking along the street.

"My mother told me that this place should sell banned magical animals, whether it is a winged demon or a dragon egg, as long as you are willing to pay, you can buy it here."

Zhang Qi pointed to a shop next to him with a Longxing brand.

"Excuse me, you two are pointing at me, do you want to come in and buy something?"

A masked wizard standing at the door of the store asked kindly, but his words made people feel a little cold for no reason.

"Two bottles of dragon's blood, settle in cash."

Zhang Qi didn't say anything more, took out a few gold coins and threw them over.

"I'm very familiar with the prices."

The man looked Zhang Qi up and down through the mask, then returned to the store and took out two glass bottles filled with red viscous liquid and handed them over.

"Why is the dragon's blood sold so cheap here? It's a full 1/3 cheaper than outside!"

Astoria asked in great surprise.

"Because the dragons here are probably poached and don't pay taxes to the Ministry of Magic. Am I right, sir?"

Zhang Qi put the two bottles of dragon blood into his box.

"That's true, so other magical animal materials in our store are also much cheaper than outside. If you want to buy them, come anytime."

The shop owner said nonchalantly.

"But"……

Astoria's eyes widened under the mask, as if she couldn't believe that someone doing such an illegal business dared to tell such a straightforward story.

"Don't be so surprised, Miss Kaslana. Anyway, except for most of the lunatics, people here only want to make money, and our buying these materials also violates the British Magic Act. To a certain extent, we are actually is an accomplice."

Zhang Qi sorted out his boxes and said goodbye to the shop owner.

"what are you worried about"?

Zhang Qi asked strangely, there was an aura of fear on Astoria's body now.

"I just thought, this place is so crazy."

Astoria calmed herself down and answered in a difficult tone.

"Don't worry so much. What we just encountered was just an accident. In places like Europe, the darker the place, the stronger the rules."

"When external laws cannot govern them, as a social species, humans will construct new laws to adapt to a more harsh environment. There are actually some rules here that no one dares to break."

"Otherwise, the number of corpses that appear at the entrance of the alley every day will not be a few, but dozens."

Zhang Qi's pace began to slow down, and then he stopped in front of a shop.

"Ever been here, Miss Kaslana"?

"I haven't been here, but I heard that Lucius often comes here."

Astoria looked at the black plaque and frowned under her mask.

"What are you doing here"?

"Come to buy something... Remember, my dear Miss Kaslana, don't touch anything with your bare hands when you go in, otherwise you will die."

Zhang Qi reached out and pushed open the door of the shop, then walked in.

The magic doorbell above the door suddenly made a strange noise, as if someone was moaning.

There was a deck of blood-stained playing cards on the shelf against the door. Ordinary people would even feel dizzy when looking directly at it.

On a shelf covered by glass, Astoria saw a very beautiful opal necklace. He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he remembered what Zhang Qi had just told him.

Zhang Qi didn't even turn his head, but tapped the back of Astoria's raised hand with his knuckles, and then walked straight to another shelf.

There was a withered human hand on the shelf, which looked dark.

"Ah, new guest, what do you want to bring?"

At this moment, a greasy, fat middle-aged man suddenly emerged from behind the counter, rubbing his hands with evil intentions.

"Hands of Glory"?

Zhang Qi then looked at the black withered human hand with interest, and then lightly tapped it with his fingertips.

"Crack"!

The hand immediately wanted to grab Zhang Qi's wrist, but Zhang Qi pulled his hand back very quickly.

"Ah, yes, sir, as long as you light a candle on this hand, you can walk freely in the dark like day, and others cannot see the light emitted by your candle. It is very suitable. Used by people with special requirements."

The middle-aged man's eyes revealed greed for money.

"So how much do you plan to charge for such a good magic prop?"

Zhang Qi asked with a hint of smile.

"1000 galleons".

The middle-aged fat man showed a smile.

"what is that"?

Zhang Qi did not express any attitude. He pointed to a broken wooden cabinet not far away and continued to ask.

"Ah, that's a disappearing cabinet, but there seems to be something wrong with it. If you want to buy it, it's 500 galleons."

The middle-aged man continued.

"There are 500 gold coins in this bag. I want both of these things."

Zhang Qi threw a money bag casually, and the man quickly grabbed the bag into his arms as if catching a treasure.

"Guest, did you give too little?"

There was a greedy expression in the middle-aged man's eyes. He began to look at the two people up and down, as if he had some bad ideas.
