Chereads / The Grey Wizard of Hogwarts / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Broomsticks and Destruction

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Broomsticks and Destruction

Coming out of Gringotts, Anton felt relaxed.

Around his neck is a bronze 'Fairy Purse' pendant with a key to the vault on it.

A shoulder bag hung on his chest, in which was the old wizard's diary when he was an apprentice.

Although still carrying the suitcase, the whole person was relieved. Bringing all his belongings into the dangerous wizarding world always gave him a strong psychological burden.

Carrying the suitcase, Anton came back to the Weizeac Magic Supply Store and bought a dragon leather backpack.

These are necessary expenses.

This backpack was about the size of a primary school student's schoolbag. He decided to buy some regular magic books. If he couldn't learn by himself, there would be a reference for Lupine to teach him when he recovered.

When he came to Lihen Bookstore, he asked the boss about the textbooks for the first grade of Hogwarts. Anton picked and picked, and finally chose three books: "Standard Spells, Elementary", "Magic Theory", and "Dark Power: A Guide to Self-Defense".

He is also very interested in "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs" and "Magic Potions and Potions" in the book list, but unfortunately these two books are too thick and cumbersome.

For these three copies, the price is as high as 4 Gold Galleons.

This is still a popular science book for beginners. If you want to learn knowledge in the wizarding world, you always have to pay an expensive price.

That is to say, magic schools like Hogwarts have the most complete magic books, and people can read them for free.

Anton would also imagine that if he had the opportunity to go in to study in the future, he would definitely take the quilt to the library and live there and never leave.

What else?

Wizard robes from Madam Malkin's robe store?

A wand from Ollivander's Wand Shop?

These are obviously not necessary, Anton already has a wizard's robe and a wand, although the wizard's robe doesn't fit well, and the wand is also old.

Gotta save it!

An orphan in his previous life, Anton knows how to restrain his consumption desire better than anyone else.

If he didn't want to exchange the precious potion ingredients left by the old wizard for money, the assets he, a young wizard with no source of income, had were the hundreds of Galleons given by Hagrid.

In addition to Lupin's tuition fees, entering the Magic Academy in the future is also a big expense.

But he ended up at the Quidditch boutique anyway.

The private car in the wizarding world is too expensive, it is better to prepare yourself a motorcycle as a means of transportation.

Especially this kind of motorcycle does not consume fuel.

The Quidditch broom is obviously the favorite product of little wizards. As soon as Anton walked to the door, he saw countless children gathered around here, looking at a beautiful broom in the cabinet and screaming again and again.

Next to the broomstick hangs a small wooden sign with the name of this model - Nimbus 2000.

Seeing the drooling expressions of the children, the parents standing behind them looked at each other and smiled wryly. Obviously, this kind of expensive luxury is not affordable by ordinary families.

Anton didn't plan to buy this expensive-looking thing, as long as it could fly.

But he still asked after pushing the door open.

"The new product is on the market, and it only costs 400 Galleons." The store owner smiled happily.

"!!!"

Anton was shocked. He thought he was a rich man, but he never thought that a broom would be so expensive!

Ferrari, you!

Forget it, he can still ride a motorcycle.

The display of broomsticks on the shelf is divided by series.

Light wheel series, comet series, sweeping series.

The store owner obviously saw that the little wizard was planning to buy it, and enthusiastically introduced the performance of the Nimbus 1000.

Anton glanced at the price of the old model, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Boss, these series don't look cool, what's hanging there?"

In addition to the three major series, there are many single products in the store.

"Oak handle seven nine,

Excellent durability and strong wind resistance, and the flight speed is not fast, especially suitable for little wizards like you. Anton interrupted his introduction, "That means this broom flies very slowly?" "

The boss shrugged, "It's safer."

Hehe, if I ride a broom, I will either travel across the country, or use it to escape for my life. You tell me that it is safe to fly slowly?

Anton refused, "I want the fastest!"

The boss's beard flicked, and the greasy middle-aged man gave a wretched smile and raised his eyebrows, "You are still young, you don't understand, men can't be too fast."

I go!

Is it okay for you and a child like me to have a yellow accent?

Seeing that Anton's face darkened, the boss came to the front of the other one resentfully, "The fire is bursting, and the speed is very fast. The disadvantage is that the climbing speed is insufficient, and there will be obvious stagnation."

Each single product has its own problems and shortcomings. Considering that he may have to rely on this to escape in the future, Anton finally chose the sweeping eight stars of the sweeping series.

Sporty broomstick, suitable for travel, the most important thing is that this is one of the brooms commonly used in Quidditch sports, and its performance is guaranteed.

Ps: The poor Weasley family travels by sweeping the series. Although the original book does not mention the price, each family member has a set, so it will not be too expensive.

Sweeping series from one star to nine stars, each upgrade has a significant performance improvement.

Only Eight Stars has a serious problem, that is, it is short.

Standing upright, it is about the same height as Anton.

"Hey, this can't be too short, you know, just add a little more money, and you can buy the latest sweeping Nine Stars..." The boss continued to push, but Anton refused decisively.

"Grab it, step on it, Wuhu takes off." The boss grabbed a broom, shook his waist, and introduced how to use it in his unique greasy tone, "It's very simple, no technology is required, unless you plan to Go play Quidditch."

When we returned to the Leaky Cauldron, it was already getting dark.

Enjoying a delicious meal, Anton glanced at the dark night, picked up his luggage and prepared to go out.

"Little wizards should not go out in the middle of the night. There are many dangers in the dark night. Maybe you will meet evil dark wizards, ferocious werewolves, or creepy ghosts." The boss Old Tom dissuaded him in a way of coaxing children.

Anton smiled and shook his head.

It is still the experience of the dead ghost teacher. The human's work and rest is to travel during the day and sleep at night, so if you plan to do something bad quietly, you should choose at night.

At this time, as long as humans overcome their own fear of the dark, they can offset the complicated emergencies of people coming and going during the day to the greatest extent.

As it happens, he intends to do something bad.

Destroy the corpse of his dead ghost teacher.

After leaving the bar, I got on a broomstick. Although I was not proficient, I could still fly into the sky slowly, looking for a suitable place.

After flying for more than half an hour, Anton finally saw a particularly familiar place.

A lumberjack hut in an outskirts forest.

It was destroyed by an old wizard's spell before, and no one came after looking at the traces on the ground.

Opening the suitcase, he dragged the old wizard out and placed it on the ground. Anton took out the potion given by the fairy Pedro from his pocket, and slowly poured it into his mouth.

In an instant, a feeling of breaking away from the shackles of the 'unbreakable oath' curse came from the depths of my heart.

Anton paid close attention to the corpse, and slowly retreated while clutching the flying broom. Pedro, the goblin, was obviously not as kind as he said, and just used hallucinogenic potions to make the old wizard fall asleep for a while.

Sure enough, a weird cloud of gray smoke came out of his mouth.

Boom!

The old wizard's head was like gunpowder meeting a lighter, and a large blue flame burst out instantly.

It even splashed around, corroding and burning the surrounding grass.

After a while, the headless corpse was contaminated with flames, and it also started to burn.

This kind of flame looks very strange. It is obviously not very warm, but it continuously ignites the human body and weeds. In just a short while, only some black-gray fine sand remains.

"Xiuer~" Anton looked at the small glass bottle in his hand in astonishment, there was still a third of the liquid medicine in it.

He tightened the cap of the bottle tightly and carefully put it in his pocket.

It's like the wizard's version of corpse water.

ox!

But at this moment, dark green threads of light suddenly emerged from the fine sand burned by the old wizard's body.

Intertwined into a weird pattern in mid-air, a large pattern of squares, curves and runes.

"Damn!" Anton reacted in an instant, he really guessed that after the old wizard chopped off his head, he really didn't die.

Boom!

The 'Hand of White' that was placed on top of the suitcase and was supposed to be dealt with later suddenly emitted a bright light in the shape of a dark green spider.

It exploded with a bang.

The explosion range was a full two meters away, and it went straight through the suitcase and blasted a deep hole in the ground.

In the midair, the bright dark green magic circle was intertwined and revolving, the air was distorted, and a crooked small building could be vaguely seen appearing in the midair.
