Diagon Alley, Flourish and Blotts Books.
How did Lu Yuan find his way from the airport to the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road in Westminster, London? How did he knock three times on the broken wall to enter Diagon Alley, and finally find the Flourish and Blotts bookstore in the corner? No need to go into details.
As for a two-story bookstore with a tight space, even if it was filled with eye-catching posters everywhere, it still couldn't give Lu Yuan the feeling of standing on a mountain. The stacked bookshelves on all sides and the lingering smell of printed matter will only make people feel like they are plunging into a pile of old papers from the 1960s.
"Who are you looking for?" A middle-aged man with glasses and disheveled hair poked out from behind the bookshelf. He was holding an open thick book in his hand, his eyes looking out from above. Apparently he was hiding behind the bookshelf and lazing around.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan was speechless. Don't I look like a customer buying books?
"I'm the store manager, Amos Angelo." The man rolled his eyes and said, "Look, I'm very busy right now..."
Okay, it's just a secret. Just saying that, Lu Yuan really can't see where he is busy. However, Lu Yuan directly took out the note left by Nana and said, "Someone left me an item and asked me to pick it up at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore..."
As he spoke, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Because he saw that when he took out the note, the store manager Amos Angelo seemed to be confused by something and entered a hypnotic state? Lao Lu immediately had other thoughts. "By the way, in addition to picking up the stored items, she also promised that the store owner would provide me with a decent job!"
"The item... yes, it's a book." Amos Angelo went to the back of the bookshelf, found a thick book that exuded a dark golden light and handed it to Lu Yuan. "You still want to provide a job? Why?" The man patted his head in confusion, "Okay, Ellie resigns, I am indeed a bit overwhelmed. You can take over Ellie's position and try it out for one month. The salary is 42 plus Every month, the trial period is halved.”
Having said this, Amos Angelo finally got rid of the influence of the note. He stopped talking and looked Lu Yuan up and down with suspicious eyes, but in the end he didn't regret it. "Okay, you will be the deputy store manager... I need you to sort out the newly added books. If you are not qualified, then leave by yourself. That's it, don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"
After finishing speaking, he retreated behind the counter and soon was immersed in the world of books again.
The shop owner lost contact again, and there were no customers in the bookstore. After Lu Yuan walked around the bookstore, he roughly figured out the layout of the room and the arrangement and classification of books on the bookshelf, and then started to deal with the pile of new books piled at the back of the store!
It was just the end of July, and the students at Hogwarts were still on summer vacation, and there was still a month and a half before they received the next year's book list delivered by an owl. However, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, as the only designated partner for selling Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry textbooks, got the book list early and started stocking up - so a large number of the new books are textbooks for students. In addition to putting some teaching materials on the bookshelf, Lu Yuan also specially prepared hundreds of "school year teaching material packages."
For those who will definitely buy all the textbooks - such as Hermione, it is convenient and quick to just get a textbook package.
After the textbooks are sorted out, there are those books that the magicians have designated to order. There are many kinds in this category, such as "The Language of Ghosts", "The Transformation Method of Vampires", "Dragon's Blood Dip in Garlic"... In short, there are all kinds of strange things. Lu Yuan had to pack these kinds of books one by one and then order courier... no, order an owl to deliver them to a designated location.
However, because these books are often rare, Lu Yuan would quickly read them before mailing them. Not asking for a deep understanding, just taking pictures.
While he was doing all this, he didn't notice a look quietly observing him. His eyes were full of surprise and surprise...
The deputy store manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is not an easy job, and 42 gold galleons is a number that fits the difficulty of the job. You must know that this is a magical world after all, so forget about those textbooks. Ordinary magic books often have magic illustrations with spells, and even pages soaked in magic can cause great harm to the human body. Therefore, bookstore jobs usually require formal wizards who have graduated from school.
But Amos Angelo, who had realized that he might have been deceived, deliberately agreed solely because he wanted to teach Lu Yuan a profound lesson. And without any guidance, he was directly asked to sort out those magic books...
But what happened next made him more and more surprised - Lu Yuan was able to master the work quickly. It only showed that he was flexible and good at thinking. But what happened to that strange "invulnerability to all poisons"? The magical aura that can corrode the body passed through his body openly, but it failed to have any impact!
In order to teach ghost language, a vicious spirit was simply imprisoned in the book, and ordinary people could not resist its howling. When Lu Yuan grabbed the book and flipped through it, the evil spirit was so frightened that he didn't even dare to take a breath. And the vampire book, which must be fed with blood, honestly revealed its hidden contents in front of Lu Yuan, and he could be as obedient as he wanted! Is this still a vampire?
This kind of supernatural phenomenon that goes beyond common sense certainly subverts Amos Angelo's worldview! He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that this guy who doesn't look much older than my daughter is actually a powerful magician?"
In this regard, Lu Yuan could only pretend that he knew nothing.
In order not to break the rules, he can not use the portable space that can hold a city, he can control not to fly, and he can control not to show extraordinary strength, agility and physique. But after all, Lao Lu is already an innate perfect Taoist body - those energies that try to corrode and harm him, and the magic that tries to confuse his mind and control him - are simply impossible to succeed under his super high resistance.
Completely ignoring the boss's scrutinizing gaze, after finishing what he was doing. Lu Yuan randomly found a corner to sit down and opened the dark golden book.
"In 1606, the signs of the decline of the magic tide are becoming more and more obvious. What should I do? Why does a world that evolved from a neutral world template have such a problem? I'm going crazy!"
"1611, this year, someone finally answered my question - it turns out that the source sea tides that appeared in the 20th century were one of the most famous features of the neutral world! The people on earth during this time period were known for their high quality and low prices, so they were the most suitable Recruited to become a reincarnation. Why didn’t I know about this?
But the most important thing is, if the entire world enters the Age of Armageddon in 1980 AD, what will Harry do? "
"In 1632, the energy of the world was still declining. I asked many Lord Gods, but every one of them was curious about my idea of establishing a magical world in the end-of-law era of a neutral world. They put forward many interesting suggestions. But it’s really useless.”
"In 1640, history has begun to deviate from the 'real history'! Just when I couldn't think of a solution, Master xxxxxx (blacked out) found me..."
…
The dark gold book stored in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is the work diary of the main god "Ginny" in this world.
Lu Yuan believed from the beginning that the Lord God "Ginny"'s plea for help was true.
Of course, everything else she said should also be true. It seems that this little girl has not yet clicked on the lying skill tree, and playing love games with children is already her limit.
Lu Yuan could imagine the origin and development of the whole thing - a novice god accidentally saw the story of Harry Potter, then fell madly in love with the world in the story, and became deeply obsessed with the male protagonist Harry Potter! She even went so far as to create a real Harry Potter world based on the story on impulse in order to have a romantic and heartbreaking love with Harry!
The subsequent development was obviously doomed from the beginning - because there was no plan from the beginning, and the difficulty of the world was beyond her ability, she began to lose control, but she was reluctant to leave.
The whole world is gradually out of her control. Not only are the tides of the Origin Sea coming unexpectedly, but there are also all kinds of messy time travelers appearing, including even a perverted and powerful Lord God!
It is conceivable that in desperation, "Ginny" had to ask that terrifying senior for advice. It's a pity that the big Nana she met at that time was full of indifference and loneliness, as hurtful as a solitary hedgehog. Therefore, after being ridiculed mercilessly by Big Nana, she walked away. Perhaps in the eyes of Big Nana at the time, any attempt to save the situation was redundant. It was better to learn this lesson and start from the basics honestly.
But she left an indelible shadow on the little girl's childhood.
Later, a reincarnator living in the UK gave "Ginny" a magical information from the New World, which helped her "solve" the problem of "how to build a magical world in the end of the law."
It is said that as early as the early days of the geographical discovery, in order to judge the heretics in the New World, the Vatican sent the paladins and judges of the Inquisition to the New World three times.
After these paladins and judges were far away from the "radiance of God", they completely lost their extraordinary abilities, and therefore suffered an unprecedented defeat in the New World! They were beaten to a pulp by the Protestants until they were almost completely destroyed! Later, the Holy See completely abandoned the New World, but the remaining members of the Inquisition who stayed in the New World were unwilling to fail and have been secretly plotting a bigger conspiracy.
Some researchers from the Inquisition have found a way to restore extraordinary powers.
But by then, the power of the Holy See had been completely expelled from the New World. In desperation, the only surviving Inquisition researcher took this information and secretly returned to England and lived in seclusion...
This information was the one that the reincarnation gave to "Ginny" later. She was ecstatic after getting it and couldn't wait to promote it across the European continent (because this is where the story mainly takes place). With the replacement of old and new, after hundreds of years, new "magic" theories and methods of use have completely replaced the old system.
There is certainly a factor behind this being pushed by the Lord God, but the more important reason is the push from the tides of the Origin Sea. In this general environment, the power level of the whole world is falling. Only the magic side of Europe, led by the United Kingdom, has suddenly emerged in this apocalyptic disaster! In one fell swoop, it surpassed the emerging forces of the New Continent and the ancient Eastern countries that nurtured thousands of years of civilization, and became a new mysterious force!
I don’t know if it was due to the influence of this factor that Britain also reached its peak during this period and became an empire on which the sun never sets, with colonies spread all over the world...
The development of the world is "back on track", Europe's three major magic schools have been established one after another, and the trajectories of the four founders of Hogwarts are just like history - watching the story of Harry Potter slowly unfold... Lord God" Ginny" discovered that she was gradually losing control of the world!
She is not a great catalyst, so it doesn't matter if she throws away one or two worlds. After Ginny became a new student, she devoted all her power to the main god of this world. She can't lose, let alone lose! This material world has far exceeded her ability, and even trapped her in turn. Therefore, once the world is controlled by others, even she will be unlucky...
In desperation, she had to seek help from the terrifying Lord God again.
Fortunately, Big Nana seemed to be in a good mood this time, and simply pointed her to a "clear path" - to ask for help from a certain reincarnation person with the power of the Lord God! (To be continued.)
