Time quickly came to August 11, seven days before the 422nd Quidditch World Cup.
Schelling took out a peep-glass from the space in his suitcase. The Peeping Mirror is a mirror that releases illusion magic. It also involves some profound space magic, allowing people to transcend the limitations of space and peek into distant scenes.
Because the spyglass is a surveillance tool with the potential to be abused, it is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. Schelling bought this looking glass together with the disappearing cabinet when he went to Bojinbok's store last month. It cost him a full one hundred galleons.
Xie Lin is not the hero of Doraemon. He bought the spyglass for a serious purpose. He asked Dobby to run errands for him and set the viewing mirror to the town of Little Hangleton, Riddle House.
This old mansion is still called "Riddle House" by the townspeople of Little Hangleton, even though the Riddle family has not lived here for many years. The house is located on a hillside, and the entire town can be seen from here. Several windows in the house were sealed, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and ivy crawled all over the house with claws and claws.
Riddle House, which had once been a handsome mansion and the most spacious and imposing building for miles around, had become damp, desolate, and permanently uninhabited.
The current owner of the mansion is a wealthy man. He bought the building for tax deduction and did not spend any time taking care of the house, except for continuing to employ the original gardener of Riddle House.
In the courtyard of the dilapidated mansion, there stood a small wooden house. Living inside was Frank Bryce, the gardener of Riddle House.
From the viewing mirror, Sherrin could clearly see that Bryce, who was already lame on one leg, was working in the flower garden. Although the weeds were creeping towards him, he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. . He also saw a few naughty little boys riding bicycles over the grass that Bryce had managed to smooth out. They also threw stones at the windows of Riddle House, and old Bryce limped across the garden, waving his cane and shouting at them in a hoarse voice.
If Schelling remembers correctly, there are only a few days left, August 16 to be precise, this coming Saturday, and the miserable days of old Bryce will be over.
Today, Schelling was going to Diagon Alley, and he made an appointment with the girls to meet in Diagon Alley.
He had already informed his parents that he would spend the rest of the summer vacation at a friend's house, and then go directly to Devon with them to watch the Quidditch World Cup.
After learning that their so-called friend was the daughter of the Greengrass family, their parents were happy to see it happen. With a serious look on his face, Lucius told Schelling to be careful and pay attention to safety, and then explained that he and Draco would also be there at that time, and maybe they could meet each other in the arena.
Xie Lin understood Lucius's hint - he knew that in this Quidditch World Cup, there would be many pure-blood families who had fallen silent and were unwilling to remain silent, planning to come out to cause trouble under the banner of Death Eaters. As early as a month ago, he noticed that his father had close contacts with many people from pure-blood families, and seemed to be plotting something.
After stepping out of the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron, Schelling freshened himself up, fixed his hair a little, said hello to the bar owner, Old Tom, and left.
Diagon Alley is the largest commercial district in the British wizarding world, and its entrance is the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Street in London. The entire commercial area is divided into three parts.
The first part is the "Northern District", which starts from the Leaky Cauldron at House No. 1 and goes all the way south until you reach Gringotts Bank. There will be a side passage diagonally opposite Gringotts Bank, which leads to a place called "Knockturn Alley", which is the second part of the business district. If you choose not to turn and continue forward, you will come to the third part of the business district, the "Southern District".
Diagon Alley is one of the most prosperous wizarding shopping streets in Europe. Even though it has been 14 years since Schelling was reborn in this world, he has never visited the entire street.
Excluding Knockturn Alley, the North and South Districts of Diagon Alley alone have close to 300 shops. Of course, Schelling had never carefully counted the total number of stores. He was not that bored. He only knew that the door number of Ms. Preponal's Beauty Potion Shop was No. 275, and it was far from the last store in Diagon Alley.
As far as Schelling knows, the only place in Europe that can rival Diagon Alley in terms of prosperity is Montmartre's Secret Witches Lane in Paris, France.
The North District of Diagon Alley is dominated by shops targeting young children and students, such as pet shops, joke shops, bookstores, stationery stores, etc. This is why the protagonists in the original work usually wander around the North District, leaving readers of previous lives It’s easy to get the impression that there are only a dozen or so shops in Diagon Alley.
The commercial activities in the southern district are much more exciting, targeting adult consumers above the middle class. The poor boys like Harry and Ron may have never set foot here before the end of the original book.
Sherin came to the fork in the road in front of the Gringotts gate and saw Daphne, Astoria, and Meredith waiting there.
The girls were obviously dressed up carefully. Daphne was mature and beautiful, Astoria was pure and beautiful, and Meredith was noble and elegant. When they saw Xie Lin, they all smiled happily and walked towards Xie Lin. come over.
It was a rare trip to Diagon Alley. Instead of rushing to Greengrass Manor, they were led by Xie Lin to the south area of Diagon Alley.
After passing a "magical shrinking house", several people walked in despite Astoria's strong request.
A magic is released at the door of the Magic Shrinking House, and everyone who enters will be shrunk to the size of a mouse, giving a sense of seeing the Muggle masterpiece "Alice in Wonderland" that he read in his previous life.
Several people passed through a mouse hole in the room and came to a flower bed. They crossed a small waterway on a leaf, climbed up the dandelion flower along the branch, and then floated across a large grassland on the dandelion in the wind. Finally, They came to an inconspicuous tree hole. After passing through the tree hole, several people returned to their original body size and left the shrinking house happily.
The next stop was the House of Illusions, which was actually an entertainment that copied the concept of a Muggle movie theater. Illusion magic, as the name suggests, is magic that uses crystal balls or skulls to present the images in the caster's mind. The original intention of this magic is to allow diviners who have a glimpse of the future to share the divination results with customers through the images in their minds. Watch.
Later, some clever wizards who knew something about the Muggle world found business opportunities. They invited screenwriters to use illusion magic to transform the stories into dynamic pictures for the audience to see. They became very popular immediately, such as "Wizards vs. Aliens", "Let the Spells Fly", "How to Train Your Dragon" and other popular movies The works were published one by one.
Xie Lin walked to the ticket office. Sitting there was a sweet-looking young lady with a sweet smile. She looked at the Gringotts limited edition entertainment VIP card that Xie Lin took out from her arms, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Even cuter.
There are only 500 of this black gold VIP card made of pure black gold in the UK, and as far as Schelling knows, he is the only underage cardholder in the UK. Use this card to spend at high-end restaurants or entertainment venues, and you will not only enjoy a 20% discount, but also a free upgrade to a VIP seat. In addition to wider, softer and more comfortable seats, you can also order meals and drinks delivered to your seat. .
Xie Lin bought four tickets. Today they are going to watch the newly released love movie "Time Traveler".
The play tells the story of Tim, a man who cracks the secret of time magic. Tim is 21 years old and he has discovered the secret to time travel and can go back in time. So he gave it a try and returned to the summer, where he tried to change his relationship with his crush, but found that no matter how he traveled through time and space, he couldn't make someone who didn't love him fall in love with him. Later, he met another girl and fell in love with her, which triggered a series of butterfly effects and caused a series of disasters in the future world. In the end, he used up all his magic power to clean up the traces of time and space travel, but this also caused a series of disasters in the future world. Lost this relationship. The girl never knew him and ended up remarrying someone else...
At the end of the film, the melancholy melody of the ending song played, waking up Xie Lin from his deep sleep. He opened his eyes, only to see three girls with red and swollen eyes, holding a large bag of "Parfit brand tissues" "It's all used up. Astoria even cried uncontrollably and was still sobbing softly intermittently.
Xie Lin was a little embarrassed, so he used a magic spell to clean the girls' faces, and then stuffed each of them with a happy gummy, just as the advertisement said, keeping them happy every day! Really, I’ve already told you, wouldn’t it be good to watch “Doctor Strange vs. Wagadu Black Panther Animagus”? Girls love to find fault...
After lunch at a fancy restaurant, Schelling took out his special pocket watch and checked the time. (Author: Old readers may have to re-read Chapter 9 of Volume 1 to learn about the special pocket watch)
There are still many unexplored places in Diagonal South District, such as the "Wonderful Flying House" that simulates a gravity-free environment in the universe, the "Magical Plant Aromatherapy Spa" for women, and the "Dream Massage Club for Beautiful Girls" for men... Thanks Lin still has one more place to go, and all these locations will have to be saved for next time. (The last one, with his girlfriend nearby, he just doesn’t dare to go)
It’s not that the wizarding world doesn’t have entertainment, or that I don’t have money, it’s just that I don’t have enough time! Xie Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Who says wizards lack entertainment? If someone said that, Schelling would tell him, it must be poverty that limits imagination!
Xie Lin led the three girls to the last destination of the day.
This is an inconspicuous little shop. Surprisingly, there is no sign on the storefront, except for a pair of crossed silver spears painted on the side of the door.
At the entrance was a young witch with a hot figure wearing a leopard-print tight-fitting battle suit. She clenched her wand when she saw a few people coming in. She looked at Xie Lin with a strong look in her eyes.
Xie Lin quickly took out the identity plate given to him by the Medieval Wizards' Federation from his arms and handed it over.
The witch still didn't let down her guard, holding the wand tightly while checking the nameplate. After checking over and over again to make sure there was nothing wrong, she returned the nameplate to Xie Lin, with a smile on her face, and said: "Are you the Malfoy who has been very popular in recent years? It's better to be famous than to meet him. You are so young. ah!"
"Thank you for your compliments, young lady. I'm just a little lucky. I've been cared for by many important people along the way. I came here today because I want to bring some of my friends to try to challenge the Silver Spear test level and enhance my abilities." Practical combat ability." Xie Lin explained his intention.
The witch glanced at the four of them with a scrutinizing gaze, "Oh, okay, please follow me."
The witch led the four people through the living room and into the inner hall. There are five doors in the deepest part of the inner hall. The doors on the left and right are open, while the three doors in the middle are closed. These three wooden doors are very old and have mottled marks. They look old and exude a simple atmosphere.
The witch explained: "The three doors in the middle require the order of one of the four witch masters of Silver Spear to open. They represent the difficulty of hell. The door on the left represents easy, and the door on the right represents medium. Do you want Which one do you want to challenge?”
"It's average. Can the four of us go in together?" If we couldn't go in together, Xie Lin was not going to let Astoria take the risk.
"Okay." Then she took out a key and opened the wooden door on the right, extending her hand to invite in.
