The Daily Prophet newspaper office is composed of two parts. The front part is the store that sells newspapers from the early days of the newspaper establishment to the day's newspapers, and the back part is the newspaper headquarters.
Ye Siyu did not read the newspapers and went directly to the store counter in front of the elderly staff who were reading the latest day's newspapers.
"If you want to buy a newspaper, go here. If you want to check historical information, you can ask at the information desk over there. If you want to break the news, go to the back." The old man wearing reading glasses briefly introduced a few words without raising his head, focusing entirely on On top of the newspaper.
Ye Siyu glanced at the old man and walked directly to where he was asking for historical information.
The purpose of his coming here is not only to investigate some information about the magical world that is not available from Koizumi Anko, but the most important thing is to investigate the time period in which this world is located.
Ye Siyu only knew about the first part of Harry Potter, The Philosopher's Stone and the second part, Chamber of Secrets. As for the subsequent series, he only knew a little bit, not comprehensively. He had to investigate clearly what time period the world was in now to be better. to decide what to do next.
If the plot that he knows has not started yet, then he will step in to plan magic props for himself.
If the plot he is familiar with has passed, then he will do his best to obtain the specific information of all high-level magic items and then be reborn.
Of course, the premise is that the time of his rebirth is before the plot has begun. Otherwise, he will not be reborn, but directly intervene in the plot.
The so-called information desk is a photo that holds the soul of an old man. Like the old man at the counter, this old man is also reading newspapers there. It seems that the employees of this newspaper office are all people who like to read.
"Sir, what do you want to inquire about?" Seeing Ye Siyu approaching, the old man in the photo was still focused on reading, but he did not forget to ask Ye Siyu about this visitor.
"Harry Potter." Ye Siyu didn't care about the old man's attitude and directly asked the question he wanted to know.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
As Ye Siyu finished speaking, the two old men who had been reading the newspaper suddenly put down the newspaper and raised their heads to look at Ye Siyu.
At this glance, the two people had doubtful looks on their faces and began to think about something.
"Don't you have any reports about Harry Potter here?" Faced with the reactions of the two old men, Ye Siyu repeated his question again.
"No."
"What are you looking for about Harry Potter?"
The two old men asked one after another, watching Ye Siyu's eyes change from vigilant to wary, extremely unfriendly, as if they wanted to attack Ye Siyu.
Seeing this, Ye Siyu frowned. He didn't expect the two old men to react so strongly. They seemed to regard him as an enemy.
"Excuse me, is there anything wrong with me?" Ye Siyu asked with a frown. He had just encountered this situation in the Leaky Cauldron, but he just thought it was a normal behavior of wizard society towards strangers.
According to statistics, the total number of named magicians in the entire UK is less than 5,000. It is indeed easy for a stranger to attract others' attention when he appears, but there is definitely something unusual about encountering hostility as soon as he appears like this. .
"Who are you?", the old man in the photo did not answer Ye Siyu's question, but asked in a deep voice.
"I am Ye Siyu, a warlock from China." Ye Siyu introduced himself. He also understood that the other party was now extremely wary of him. In order to obtain information, he also tried his best to show his friendliness.
The two old men looked at each other, apparently asking each other if they knew any information about Ye Siyu. In the end, they confirmed through eye contact that there was no information about Ye Siyu.
"It turns out he is a warlock from the mysterious East, no wonder.", the old man with glasses murmured after thinking for a while.
"Is there anything wrong with me being a warlock?" Ye Siyu asked. Regarding the Eastern magicians in this world, Ye Siyu's information came from Koizumi Hongzi's mouth, but Koizumi Hongzi didn't know much about warlocks.
If the mysteries of magicians in various regions were ranked in the magic world, Chinese warlocks would definitely be in the top three. If it weren't for the emergence of Eastern warlocks from time to time in the magic world, many people would think that warlocks have become extinct.
Therefore, Koizumi Hongzi's understanding of warlocks was limited to some word-of-mouth rumors, and she did not know what the real warlocks were like. Ye Siyu only used warlocks as his identity. Now this identity seems to have some problems.
"England is different from China...", the old man in the photo immediately explained to Ye Siyu why their previous attitude was so weird.
From the explanations given by the two old men, Ye Siyu probably understood what was going on.
Because Ye Siyu learned 'magic' and became a magician, he also exudes the aura of a magician, but Ye Siyu is different from the magicians in this world. The magicians in this world are not good at elemental magic, more of that kind Mysterious and mysterious cause and effect magic, Ye Siyu, an elemental magician, appears among this group of magicians like a wolf appearing among a group of huskies, and is incompatible with them.
Ye Siyu's own attributes tend to be dark. He feels like a completely undisguised dark wizard, which is very eye-catching.
In addition, Ye Siyu is not from this world. It was fine before he became a magician. At most, people with keen intuition like Koizumi Hongzi would notice it. But after becoming a magician, the differences in the rest of the world have become much magnified. Easier to attract attention.
Fortunately, these magicians did not think that Ye Siyu was not from this world. They regarded Ye Siyu more as a dark wizard who practiced evil magic or a magician who studied strange things.
The group of magicians in this world who like to study strange magic the most are Eastern warlocks and onmyojis as well as witch doctors from small African tribes. It is not strange to give people this kind of dark wizard feeling, so after knowing that Ye Siyu is a warlock from the East, he also He is no longer as guarded as before.
"Mr. Ye, why do you want to know about Harry Potter reports?" The old man with glasses asked the previous question again.
Before, he thought that Ye Siyu was one of Voldemort's dark wizards. You must know that Voldemort is a taboo in the entire magical world. Anyone who has anything to do with him will be investigated by the Ministry of Magic, so he is very vigilant to avoid implicating himself. Now he knows that Ye Siyu is just a wizard. The warlock is not a dark wizard, so it doesn't matter if you inform the other party of these problems, it won't cause trouble.
But the Harry Potter news was not those other news, and they still had to ask to confirm.
"I'm just curious about the kind of person who can kill the Dark Lord." Ye Siyu said perfunctorily.
Hearing Ye Siyu's answer, the old man with glasses nodded. Most of the people who came to look for news about Harry Potter were just curious like Ye Siyu.
"I was just rude." After confirming that Ye Siyu had no problem, the old man with glasses saluted Ye Siyu and then returned to his seat. In the picture, the old man manipulated newspapers one after another to float in front of Ye Siyu. , "Sheng Hui 1 Copper Nat."
The currency in the magical world is not ordinary paper money, but a kind of magic coin made of rare metals. 1 gold Galleons = 17 silver Sickles, 1 silver Sickles = 29 copper Knuts.
Because mermaids are very rare in this era of declining magic, and mermaid scales are very precious magic materials on the market, Ye Siyu used the mermaid scales to exchange a lot of coins from Koizumi Hongzi before coming to the UK, which was enough to support her. Ye Siyu's life in the magical world.
After taking the newspaper, Ye Siyu left the newspaper office directly and found a magic restaurant to sit down and start reading the newspaper. As before, wherever he went, Ye Siyu was so eye-catching and attracted the attention of many magicians.
Ye Siyu didn't care about this, and even looked forward to it, thinking that if someone came to trouble him, then he would have an excuse to gain some benefits.
It's just that the magicians in Diagon Alley are obviously regular magicians. Before they are sure that Ye Siyu is a dangerous person, they will not do anything to Ye Siyu. The most they can do is to be vigilant and distance themselves from Ye Siyu.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Siyu read all the newspapers reporting on Harry Potter.
He found out that the plot had not yet begun when he entered this world, but that was two years ago, and now it is the end of 1992. He has already missed the plots of the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets that he is familiar with, and the following are all plots of which he has only a little impression. , it seems that he must be reborn this time.
However, Ye Siyu is not in a hurry to be reborn. He can now collect the magic props of this world and determine where the bottom line of the world's will is. After doing this, it is not too late to be reborn.
After Ye Siyu ate the strange magical food, he left the restaurant and headed to his next goal, Ollivander's Wand Shop.
Although Ye Siyu can use magic without a wand, it is still a bit obscure when casting spells without a wand. In this world, no matter what kind of magician he is, he will have a wand. Without a wand, he cannot cast magic.
In order to perfectly pretend to be a magician, Ye Siyu also needs a wand. In England, if you want to buy a good wand, everyone will recommend you to Ollivander's Wand Shop, which was founded in 382 BC.
Ollivander is one of the three major wand makers in Europe. Many foreigners come to London specifically to buy a wand made by him instead of buying it locally.
Ollivander's Wand Shop is a crowded, cramped, shabby little shop in an obvious location in Diagon Alley, making it easy to find.
You can see a wand on display in front of the window on a faded purple mat. The cabinets that reach the ceiling in the store are filled with thousands of wands in long, narrow boxes. Ye Siyu can choose from among these wands. Feel strong or weak energy fluctuations.
Ye Siyu felt that as long as he took this store as his own, at least half of his mission would be completed.
Of course, despite her heartbeat, Ye Siyu is not arrogant enough to think that she can ignore all the powerful people in this world.
If he wants to rob this store, he must at least wait until he has a thorough understanding of the magic in this world.
"Hello, sir." Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop, was stunned when he saw Ye Siyu come in, and then greeted him politely. For him, everyone who came in was a guest, and his favorite thing was to serve his guests. Pick a wand that matches it.
As for who the other party is, he doesn't care much.
"I want to buy a magic wand." Ye Siyu said directly.
"Please wait." Ollivander said as he took out a tape measure from the cabinet.
Ollivander will choose from them to find a wand that suits each customer. Customers who purchase a wand must first measure the arm length, forearm length, height, head circumference and other dimensions of the wand, and then choose a wand based on these parameters.
Each wand is different because they use different unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers, dragon and snake nerves as the core, and different quality wood for the wand body. These are powerful magic items that are suitable for every wizard Different wands, and if you use a wand that belongs to another wizard, it won't achieve the desired effect.
Soon, Ollivander helped Ye Siyu measure these parameters, then took out one of the many boxes, and then handed a black wand inside to Ye Siyu, "This is based on the nerves of the black water snake." The core of the wand is combined with some magic materials, and it took me half a year to make the wand. I think it should be suitable for you."
Ye Siyu took the wand and could feel that it was a wand close to planetary level. It was already considered a very advanced wand.
"Please wave it." Ollivander saw that Ye Siyu did not move after taking the wand, so he reminded him.
Ye Siyu nodded and waved his wand.
The moment Ye Siyu waved the wand, Ye Siyu felt that the wand was extracting his magic power.
This is the principle of the wand. As long as anyone holding a wand waves the wand, the magic power in the body will be mobilized. Even people who are exposed to magic for the first time can use the wand to release magic power.
Just when Ye Siyu understood the principle of the wand, a scene that surprised him and Ollivander appeared.
"Bang!"
As soon as Ye Siyu waved the wand in his hand, the whole wand exploded, turning from a magical wand into a useless fire stick.
"How could this happen?" Ollivander stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Although the wand looks very fragile, just a wooden stick, when he made the wand, he cast magic on it to increase its hardness. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to destroy unless it suffered a huge impact.
But now it suddenly exploded. This was the first time he had encountered it since he opened the store.
Ye Siyu was also a little confused about this. He didn't understand what was going on. He didn't do anything just now.
