Chapter 82: The House of Dreyer
After leaving Hogwarts, Jiang Ning's carriage headed south to London, the capital of England.
Along the way, the carriage traveled on a rugged dirt road. It kept bumping forward and backward, but fortunately Jiang Ning couldn't feel it, otherwise he would have complained again.
Because it was not too urgent, he was not in a hurry anyway.
And he heard from Gryffindor that Diagon Alley was the territory of white wizards. Black wizards didn't dare to mess around, so it took two days for Jiang Ning to finally come to England. Currently, he is heading to a cliff by the sea, where there is a door key to Diagon Alley!
——Looking
at the lonely gate on the cliff, there is no door handle, just a door frame.
Jiang Ning knew that it was the door key.
After getting off the carriage, he walked straight in. The figure was like a stone falling into the water, splashing a circle of ripples!
When his body appeared again, he was already in a bustling and lively market.
This is Diagon Alley. The destination of this trip!
Although the Diagon Alley in the tenth century was a little prosperous, it was still not comparable to the Diagon Alley in later generations. The buildings of this era were low, wooden structures, and the layout was unreasonable. The lighting was not high, the streets were flooded, and there were few pedestrians. Compared with later generations, it was indeed incomparable.
Although he had never been to the Diagon Alley in later generations, he had seen it in movies and TV shows, which could be described as bustling and lively.
"Well, the Dreyer's House Tavern." Looking at the address given by Gryffindor, this tavern called the Dreyer's House should be the base for Hogwarts to arrange students. At the same time, it is also a gathering place for white wizards.
——Looking
at the three-story brick and stone building in front of him, the tattered wooden sign on the eaves of the door had a line of beautiful cursive English letters.
Walking into this tavern, dozens of white wizards gathered in the hall.
Different races, humans, goblins, half-giants, and some good-looking waitresses kept shuttling among the group of people. The tray in his hand held a wooden glass full of beer, and he shuttled back and forth busily.
Some drunk wizards took the opportunity to take advantage of these waitresses. In return, they were scolded like a coquettish person, which attracted a group of people's laughter.
Bang!
The wooden door was pushed open heavily. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
——Jiang
Ning looked around, walked straight to the bar, and asked the bartender: "Where are the freshmen from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
The bar was quiet in an instant, and everyone looked at Jiang Ning with unfriendly faces.
The exotic appearance made these white wizards nervous.
Swish!
With the magic wand in hand, the blue light in his eyes lit up, and a huge spiritual force suppressed everyone present. Among these white wizards, there must be spies of black wizards. Jiang Ning wanted to warn the spies of black wizards and warn everyone at the same time. The
faces of the wizards suppressed by Jiang Ning changed drastically. This huge power made it difficult for them to pick up their wands, let alone resist. In an instant, everyone's face became even uglier. Could this powerful and strange wizard be a dark wizard? If so, that would be bad!
Bang!
A parchment scroll was slapped on the bar, and he looked at the bartender and said, "This is a handwritten letter from Gryffindor, you can check it."
"Okay... okay."
The bartender picked up the parchment scroll and quickly scanned it, and said to Jiang Ning, "I'm sorry, I need to give it to the boss in person for inspection!"
"Go and come back quickly!" Jiang Ning did not comment!
Then, he found an empty table and sat down, snapped his fingers, "A glass of beer!" After saying that, the azure light in his eyes disappeared, and the huge power that suppressed everyone retreated into Jiang Ning's body like a tide.
Huh!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer dared to look at this powerful and strange wizard in their eyes with an unscrupulous look.
"Your beer, sir!" The waitress quickly brought a glass of beer and looked at him with curiosity and admiration.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
Soon, a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair, wearing thin round glasses and wizard robes hurried out. He came to Jiang Ning, looked him over, and then asked: "Are you Mr. Ning? Lord Gryffindor entrusted you to pick up these children?"
"Besides me, will there be anyone else to pick them up?"
"Uh..." He wiped the sweat on his forehead: "I'm very sorry, sir. Do you need to go see these children now?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I need to confirm whether they are safe!"
"Then please follow me!"
Bang!
A silver Sickle was slapped on the table, and Jiang Ning stood up and followed the bar owner upstairs.
After he left, the hall became noisy again. Everyone was talking about where Lord Gryffindor met this powerful, strange and exotic wizard?
——
"The children live on the third floor with the academy's tutors. They are all gathered together! It's also safe. This is the base arranged by the academy. The Department of Wizarding Affairs is across the street. If anything happens, they will rush here as quickly as possible. The children are safe, please rest assured." The bar owner explained as he went upstairs.
'Department of Wizarding Affairs? It should be the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic! ' Jiang Ning thought secretly, and then replied dryly: "I only believe what I see with my own eyes!"
"Okay, please follow me!" The bar owner was speechless, and he didn't dare to talk back. He just heard from the waiter in the store that this young and overly powerful wizard was an extremely powerful wizard. He was able to suppress dozens of wizards in an instant without any chance of fighting back.
Merlin's rebirth is just like this, right? The bar owner thought secretly.
Coming to the third floor, the bar owner pointed to two adjacent rooms and said: "These two rooms are the residences of the children and the tutors."
"The children and the tutors live separately?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ning snorted coldly: "If there is a surprise attack, these children will all die. I'm afraid these tutors won't be able to come!"
The bar owner was speechless, and it was not his responsibility.
Dongdongdong!
After knocking on the door, the bar owner shouted, "Mr. Hans, the teacher sent by the academy is here."
A voice that made people's teeth ache sounded, and the door opened. A middle-aged man opened the door, looked at the bar owner and then looked at Jiang Ning, frowned and said, "Dreyer, you are not kidding, right? This little guy was sent by the academy to pick him up? I don't know what Lord Gryffindor thinks."
Swish!
Jiang Ning threw the parchment scroll directly on his chest and said coldly, "This is a handwritten letter from Gryffindor, read it carefully yourself."
Faced with Jiang Ning's bad attitude, Hans was a little dissatisfied, but he still picked up the parchment scroll and read it. After that, he said, "Since it was arranged by Lord Gryffindor, that's good. I don't know how the gentleman arranged it?"
"Depart in three days!"
"Three days?"
Jiang Ning's pupils lit up with a blue light, and he didn't have time to argue with them. The huge power instantly made Hans surrender, and he didn't dare to underestimate Jiang Ning.
"Everything is up to your command!"
Jiang Ning then went into the room to check and found that these dozens of male and female students were well-organized, except that some children seemed malnourished. There were no other symptoms, so he nodded secretly and told Hans: "Get ready to leave in these three days, stay here, and stay with these children. Don't leave!"
"Yes!"
The strong are respected, and this applies everywhere. Hans, who had witnessed Jiang Ning's terrifying power, dared not disobey Jiang Ning's orders. God knows whether this wizard with a bad temper would kill him if he didn't listen? Although the possibility is very low, Hans didn't dare to gamble.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied with Hans's understanding. After giving a few more instructions, he went downstairs alone. He was going to find Ollivander to see how to improve the wand in his hand!
