Chapter 89 The Shop in Knockturn Alley

Not to mention what happened after that, he was busy fighting Yunus to the death and burned the entire Ministry of Magic, so he didn't have the energy to make money during the period.

Therefore, after the Ministry of Magic's first battle, although he obtained the entire Azkaban as a territory, he has no money on hand.

He can't still share with the prisoners under his command, so should he lead his own team?

Therefore, although Leicester is very powerful now, he only has 90 Galleons on him, and this is what the wretched old man Leonard gave to himself in order to bribe him in exchange for a place on parole for medical treatment, otherwise he would have Not a penny left.

Originally, Leicester was going to wait for Quirrell to sneak into Gringotts, take the opportunity to sneak in and plunder it, but now, it seems that there is no need to do so.

"Your title deed is in that location in Diagon Alley?" Lester said in a kind tone, trying to make himself look a little more approachable.

The pureblood said tremblingly, "No, it's not in Diagon Alley, it's in Knockturn Alley."

Lester: "."

He said where did this trash pure blood get the title deed, it turned out to be the house in Knockturn Alley.

Although the two blocks are only separated by a wall, the housing prices on both sides are very different.

Diagon Alley is a commercial street, and the monthly rent of any small, inconspicuous shop alone costs 100 Galleons, which is still priceless.

But Knockturn Alley is completely different. Here tm is a residential area, and it is also a poor residential area.

Lester could guess without looking, that the title deed that this pureblood was talking about was nothing more than a dilapidated bungalow on the outskirts of Knockturn Alley, just like the one he had seen before.

That kind of house can be bought with a gold Galleon, so what does he want to come here? It would be better to go back to Azkaban to live there.

"No, no no no" seemed to see Leicester's impatience, Pureblood quickly explained: "My lord, that is the ancestral house left to me by my ancestors, it is located in the commercial area of ​​Knockturn Alley"

Hearing this, Lester stopped casting spells in his hands, and began to think with great interest.

Although most of Knockturn Alley are unsatisfactory Muggle wizards, he is famous as a dark wizard.

Lester had learned from his inmates that there were still several powerful pure-blood families in the central area of ​​Knockturn Alley.

They often run a shop and are responsible for doing some illegal business.

For example, the Aibo family and the blog family, which are the pure-blood families mentioned in the original book.

These two families are members of the Pureblood 28 family. The main family residence is in Knockturn Alley, and most of the businesses they are responsible for are illegal businesses.

However, in the last few hundred years, the Aibo family has gradually begun to wash their hands, and started to operate a legitimate business. With the golden sign of the Leaky Cauldron, the Aibo family has also begun to enter other fields, and has broken away from the dark wizard family. category.

But the Bojin family is still engaged in illegal business, and assumes the role of communication between the surface world and the underground world.

If the sphere of influence of Diagon Alley is intricate and complicated, then the division of influence in Knockturn Alley is very clear.

Several powerful underworld pure-blood families divided the entire Knockturn Alley into two parts, one is a slum area for Muggle wizards, and the inside is a commercial area where their dark wizards run rampant, but it is different from Diagon Alley , the trades in the Knockturn Alley business district are all illegal magic items.

"Bring me the title deed," Lester said coldly.

In order to survive, the pure-blood immediately took out the land deed that he carried close to him, and put it on his hands respectfully.

Lester waved his hand, and the title deed flew directly into his hand involuntarily.

It can be seen that this title deed should be some years old. Carefully touching the corner of the title deed, Leicester can feel that it should be made of parchment.

On the top of the title deed, there are densely packed words, which generally mean that the piece of land belongs to the Puxi family and is protected by the laws of the Ministry of Magic, which is sacred and inviolable.

At the bottom of the title deed, the address of the shop is written very intimately, and the house number and location are clearly written.

"Are you really willing to give this to me?" Lester raised the land deed in his hand at the pure blood, and in return pure blood nodded madly.

"My lord, as long as you spare me, I will go with you to the Ministry of Magic to transfer this title deed," the pure-blood wizard said without hesitation.

Especially when talking about the transfer of the land deed, a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes.

"There is definitely something wrong with that shop!" Lester noticed something wrong in Pure Blood's eyes, and his heart shuddered.

He looked at the land deed just now, and it was clearly written on it, so it shouldn't be a fake.

Then the problem is not with the land deed, it should be that there is absolutely a problem with the shop.

A shop located in the commercial area of ​​Knockturn Alley could sell at least 500 Galleons, which was enough to keep them happy for several years.

But instead of doing this, they kept the title deed. If they were said to be filial and unwilling to sell their ancestral home, they would not believe it even if they killed Lester.

Therefore, there must be something wrong with that shop, either it is haunted or threatened by someone.

It's easy to understand that if the shop is haunted, the housing price will definitely be lower, and life is in danger if you live in it, so it's very cost-effective to trade a haunted shop for your life.

But this is the wizarding world, what kind of ghost can be so ferocious, and can make dark wizards so troublesome, this is not a Muggle house, wizards and other extraordinary creatures are not afraid of ghosts.

So now there is only one reason, someone threatened him and wanted to buy his shop forcibly at a low price, and it happened that he was caught by himself again today, so he wanted to save his life and at the same time divert the disaster for myself.

At that time, the group of black wizards who threatened him would definitely come to trouble him for the sake of the shop. If he was just a stronger ordinary wizard, he might not be able to beat those group of black wizards.

At that time, I might be in danger of life.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Lester smiled.

Just like some unscrupulous developers forced demolition in later generations, the group of black wizards who want to get shops, they have power and power and underworld power, so they can bully ordinary wizards like this down-and-out pure blood.

But if it's really more than a dark and evil force, then the Azkaban group in Leicester is now the largest black and evil group in the entire magic world.

If those black wizards dared to ask him to buy and sell by force, then they would really hang themselves and die.

So, under the expectant eyes of the pureblood, Lester nodded fiercely, and then burned them all to death with a fire.

In other words, the laws of the magic world are made for the weak.

At that time, he would hold the title deed and directly ask Hafiz to go to the relevant department to go through the transfer procedures. He would not believe that the pure-blooded official dared not give Hafiz face if he wanted to die.
