Chapter 199 The Precious Mirror of Fengyue and the Vanishing Cabinet
Rove really didn't have too many Galleons on him.
Borgin-Bock shop is a first-class gold selling cave, selling either black magic items, or magic items handed down from the ancient family ancestors.
Those old objects are usually several thousand galleons larger. Rove's family is not particularly rich, so he really doesn't have that much spare money to buy these things.
Well, their family is actually quite rich... As an ancient pure-blood family, Scamander's ancestors had accumulated some wealth.
Newt is also a best-selling author. His "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is popular all over the world, and it is the designated textbook for all magic schools...
But what's the deal with Rove? He is a twelve-year-old little wizard, and it is impossible for him to keep the key to the vault at home!
Giving Rove living expenses every year is enough to raise the magical creatures in the box... Any more is an extra expense, and you need to find a way by yourself.
When Newt was young, he also encountered this situation... When he saw those smuggled magical creatures, he couldn't help but want to buy them, but he was really short of money.
Later, Newt deliberately let down his vigilance and "accidentally" exposed the precious magical creature, specifically to seduce the dark wizard and rob him.
He caught them in turn and asked them to pay him to protect the magical creatures... This process is called "funding".
Of course, Newt's fishing behavior can not only catch a dark wizard, but also a wife.
Tina was the biggest fish he ever caught!
Rove also followed suit and wanted someone to "fund" him.
He and Shirley, the two little wizards, walked in a dangerous place like Knockturn Alley, and there was a high probability that they would run into trouble from a dark wizard... Funding would come soon!
The old hag was unlucky, or rather lucky, and was caught by Rove, who planned to use her as a heartless ATM machine!
The three continued to walk towards the depths of Knockturn Alley. Shirley tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Rove, will you really let her go?"
"How could this kind of black wizard let go, she can't tell how many children she has captured behind her back." Rove lowered his voice and said:
"You will write a letter for me in a while, and when you arrive at the Bojin-Boke store, you will quietly post it at the door."
"Who are you sending it to?"
"A trainee Auror who wants to focus on performance and wants to go crazy!"
Rove moved closer to the girl's ear and whispered an address.
The old witch walked in the front, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the two people behind them whispering to each other. She twisted her neck uncomfortably, feeling that they were plotting something.
But she didn't run away, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare.
A salamander with tongues of fire was standing on his shoulder, staring at her intently, as if he was going to give her a bite if there was any disagreement.
The back of the neck is also chilly... a knife with condensed snow water is on it.
Are the little wizards nowadays so cruel... The old witch cursed secretly.
They soon came to the door of Bojin-Blog shop, Rove stepped up the steps, he turned around and looked down at the old witch, smiling all over his face:
"You'd better be honest, and spend some money... If you want to escape, I can't guarantee whether your head and neck will be separated.
Ever heard of Nearly Headless Nico? I don't want to see you like him! "
There was a warm smile on Rove's face, but the old witch didn't feel any warmth at all, but felt cold all over, so scared that she didn't dare to look at him.
She seemed to be looking at a demon... She even slandered in her heart that the Dark Lord was nothing more than that when he was young, right? !
Rove turned and pushed the door in, followed by the old witch.
Shirley took a slow step, stood at the door, took out a pen and paper from her wallet, and prepared to write a letter to the Ministry of Magic.
Rove walked into the Borgin-Bock store. The room was large and filled with all kinds of magic items.
A withered human hand on the cushions of a glass case; a stack of bloodstained cards; a glass eyeball that freezes.
Grim masks peered down from the walls; various human bones lay on the counters; rusty tines hung from the ceiling.
Rove's gaze was suddenly drawn to a mirror suspended from a shelf by a rope.
There is a stunning beauty in the mirror. She is wearing silk braids with fluttering long hair. After seeing Luo Fu, she gently took off the silk braids, revealing a beautiful white scenery. She danced, her chest heaved and swayed. shake……
There are so many exciting things in Borgin-Bock shop, Rove almost thought he came to the wrong place.
The young man was observing...the mirror purely academically, studying the types of dances purely academically. At this moment, a gust of wind blew and the hanging mirror flipped to the back.
It is still a portrait of a witch, but that witch is bloody and bloody, her face is rotten, and there are many exposed bones, and there are even white maggots rolling around...
"..."
What Fengyue Baojian!
Rove immediately lost interest. He pulled down the curtain and blocked the mirror to prevent Shirley from coming in and seeing such inappropriate things.
He went to the counter and rang the bell on the counter, and there was a tinkling sound in the room.
Soon a hunched man appeared behind the counter, his face wrinkled and his sagging skin covered with countless warts.
He stroked his oily hair back with his hands, looked at the old witch, and asked in a low voice:
"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
The old witch didn't speak, but looked at Rove humbly.
Rove didn't ask the Smith family at the beginning. This kind of matter should not be rushed, but should be done step by step. He pointed to a cabinet in the corner and said, "Take it and have a look."
Mr. Bojin glanced at the old witch, and then looked at the boy. After a while, he walked over slowly and carried the cabinet to the counter.
It was a black and gold cabinet with runes engraved on the cabinet, and a crow emblem on the cabinet door. Although it was small, it was very clear.
"How much is this disappearing cabinet?" Rove asked.
Bojin glanced at the boy, grinned his toothless mouth, and said with a smile:
"Sir, you have good eyesight. You can recognize it as a Vanishing Cabinet right away... It only costs four thousand Galleons."
"Four thousand Galleons is the price of a pair of Vanishing Cabinets." Rove said with a smile, "Mr. Bojin, you only have one Vanishing Cabinet, and the value has plummeted. It's too expensive for a half discount..."
He was right, the disappearing cabinet is really valuable because a pair of cabinets can communicate with each other, you can get in from one cabinet and get out from the other... faster than any door.
But only one cabinet is useless, and it is not very valuable, which is why it has not been sold... It's like a shoe, no matter how beautiful it is, there is only one left, and no one buys it.
But of course Borgin couldn't admit it, boasting:
"Hey, sir, you can't say that. You see, this raven is the coat of arms of the Lestrange family."
"This is an object from the sixteenth century AD. Take a look at the craftsmanship, the carving... I can assure you that in the entire Knockturn Alley, there is no more artistic disappearing cabinet... This is a work of art !"
"That's useless, it can be used as a decoration at most, how about it, wipe it off..." Rove said softly, "I want four hundred Galleons."
"Oh, sir." Bo Jin said with a wry smile, "There is no such thing as a zero, the minimum is three thousand Galleons, it can't be lower."
"Eight hundred, do you want it or not?" Rove began to tug.
"Two thousand Galleons." Borgin took another step back.
Rove turned around and left. He counted down to five, and when he reached three, he heard Bo Jin hurriedly say:
"Okay, I sold it at a loss...just treat it as your friend."
Rove stopped and sighed. It seems that he was still too impatient, and the bid was too high...and he didn't pull it in place.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not his money, so it doesn't hurt to spend it!
