Chapter 184 277 Diagon Alley
After a day's rest, Anduin finally regained his energy, and then accompanied Augusta to have a quick breakfast, then borrowed the fireplace from Longbottom's house and came to the Leaky Cauldron.
Time to take over that Diagon Alley house.
Diagon Alley 277, the three-storey building that Anduin acquired from Tokiel, is still peacefully located on the street.
Although this is the south side of Diagon Alley, there is not as much traffic as the north side, but you can still see many pedestrians passing by the house.
And coming back here again, Anduin could finally enter directly from the front with confidence.
After entering the house, he looked at the internal environment again.
The main entrance on the first floor is in the middle of the house. It is a single door with a metal frame. The upper part of the door is made of glass, but now it is covered with a curtain. The walls on both sides of the door are inlaid with large glass windows. It is basically covered by curtains, so the whole first floor looks very dark.
After the curtains and curtains are drawn, the direct sunlight also illuminates the entire first floor.
It was obvious that the house was intended for commercial use when it was built, and Anduin had no intention of changing it, but all the door locks in the house had to be replaced.
Anduin finally got a glimpse of the entire first floor after seeing clearly. The floor and walls of the house are made of the same regular large stone bricks as the second and third floors, and the surface is very smooth.
The entire first floor is a large open room, with a width of nearly 30 meters in the horizontal direction and at least 6 meters in length in the vertical direction, with a direct area of more than 200 square meters, which is very spacious even if half of it is used as a shop.
There is a row of wall-mounted shelves on both sides of the room, which are empty and covered with dust. There is a fireplace in the middle of the house against the wall, which is in a straight line with the fireplaces in the basement, second and third floors. There is a dull, occluded smell.
"It seems that the entire first floor has been abandoned for a long time, and those Death Eaters probably regard this as a corridor leading to the gate." Anduin carefully observed the surroundings, "But apart from some dust, it is maintained. It's very dry, let's clean up the first floor first."
Thinking about it, Anduin mobilized his magic power, and a whirlwind swept across the room with him as the center, rolled up all the dust on the floor and the shelves, and then threw it out of the window, and then used the 'clear water like a spring' spell to cleanse the room. Scrub it again, dry it with magic spells, and open the windows for ventilation.
Soon the whole hall exuded a refreshing atmosphere.
Anduin also used the same operation to clean up the second and third floors, especially the place where all the Death Eaters were lying the night before. Wait for the stains in the place to be cleaned.
"The next step is to clean up the rooms on the third floor. I found out last time that the rooms here are very special. Not every room is made of stone bricks. I think the original layout is not like this."
Thinking about it, Anduin shrunk all the furniture and beds in the five guest rooms with a shrinking spell, and took them away. These seemed to be temporary appliances, and the quality was average. The beds and quilts were the same as those in the basement. Take it out for temporary use.
He didn't want to use the things used by these Death Eaters, so he planned to collect them all and throw them away.
Then he began to grope along the walls of the third floor. Sure enough, these rooms were temporarily separated by earth bricks, and even the doors were opened.
Then Anduin began violent demolition, smashing all the adobe brick walls, and then moved them all away, only keeping the original stone wall structure of the house. After cleaning, the entire third floor was restored to its original appearance.
There are actually only two rooms on the third floor, one is large and the other is smaller, and the bathroom is actually connected to the big room. It seems that there is only one master bedroom, one second bedroom, and one bedroom on the entire third floor. Like the living room.
"The layout is good, and the place is very spacious. After redecorating, it will be able to accommodate people." Anduin nodded, feeling very satisfied in his heart.
Then Anduin spent a whole day buying a lot of furniture and decorations from Diagon Alley and Muggle shopping malls. Fortunately, with the help of magic, the transportation was not troublesome.
Then he rearranged the master bedroom on the third floor, including carpets, curtains, double four-poster beds, various chairs, etc. After all the decorations, the room finally had some homey atmosphere. The door lock was changed again, which made him feel more at ease.
"At least I can live with people, so I have a fixed residence, and I don't have to live with others during my vacations." Anduin clapped his hands, thinking with satisfaction.
But it's not over yet, Anduin sat down on the desk, took out a piece of parchment, and started writing and drawing on it.
He also had to re-arrange a new set of protective spells for the whole house. He was very disdainful of the protective spells used by the Death Eaters before, and he planned to carefully plan his future residence.
"In terms of vigilance, the recent study of the looking glass can be regarded as a small achievement. The rune of 'Malicious Perception' should be mastered after a while, and this will be added.
"Normal warning spells are also necessary, and some anti-reconnaissance deployments must be made, including chimneys and sewers."
"Then, the 'Anti-Alaho Hole Opening Curse' must be cast on the doors and windows, and there must be a one-way 'Confusion Curse' and 'Close Ears Listening' on the second and third floors, so that people outside the house cannot spy on the inside through the windows."
"There must be a 'reversal spell' in the house, and a delayed 'human presence spell' and 'tracking spell' on the ground, so that if someone breaks in, it will leave traces, and the walls must be applied to produce An 'Anti-Invasion Curse' that knocks back the effect."
"In addition to the basic 'total protection' and 'safeguarding', maybe I have to make some protective traps, physical trigger defense mechanisms like broadsword landmines, and I can also hang a few double-sided mirrors in the house for surveillance, But that thing is a specialty of Cairo, and there are not many in the UK.”
He densely wrote down a whole page of the residential protection plan on the parchment, and then he can implement it after receiving payment from Yulia.
After arranging everything, Anduin returned to Longbottom's house directly from the fireplace at No. 277 Diagon Alley, just in time for dinner.
After spending another day like this, Anduin received the long-awaited good news from Yulia.
"Is everything finally assembled? The efficiency is not slow." Anduin thought as he looked at the letter signed by Travers.
