Chapter 60

The location of Sluggiggs' Pharmacy is remote, deep in Diagon Alley, and Solim now has to walk back to reach the entrance to Tumbledown Alley.

Tumbledown Alley isn't as scary as adults say. As long as you know the rules here, and with a little bit of luck, generally speaking, trouble won't get you. Tumbling Alley is actually quite lively, and it is not as adults scare their children as they say: it is cold, damp, and dark wizards walk all over the ground, and children will be caught by dark wizards as soon as they enter Tumbledown Alley.

The entrance to Tumpledown Lane is directly opposite Gringotts, which is the busiest area and the most trafficked. Most of the time, an underage wizard who has exposed himself won't have much of a problem as long as he doesn't go deep into Tumbledown Alley. Solim didn't want to go deep into Tumbledown Alley, Elrond had told him something about Tumbledown Alley before, so Solim knew a lot about it, as long as he didn't break the rules here, as long as he didn't show his wealth, there would generally be nothing going on.

Before entering Tumbledown Alley, Solim drank a bottle of age-booster. It's easy to get an age-enhancer, and Solim will match it himself. After using the age booster, Solim not only grew taller, but his voice also matured, so that he would not reveal the fact that he was a minor wizard as soon as he opened his mouth.

The entrance to Tumbledown Alley is narrow, this one opens between the two shops, only two people can walk side by side, and sometimes there are some down-and-out wizards sitting on the steps down the road at the intersection, which makes it even more crowded.

Solim was now covered under his wizarding robe, and the hood was also lowered to cover his face, since the wizarding robe was a high-end garment in the Mortal Clothing Store, this wizard robe also had several practical little magic on it, one of which was that when the hood was lowered, no matter what others looked at, only a black mass could be seen. You get what you pay for, and the robe cost Solim fifty Galleons at the time.

Along the wall, Solim walked out of the narrow entrance of Tumbledown Alley and came to the place where business was actually done. Compared to Diagon Alley outside, Tumbledown Alley is indeed a bit dim. But it's no wonder that Tumbling Alley is much lower than Diagon Alley, which means that when you look up, all you see are Diagon Alley shops – they block out the light.

The shops in Tumbledown Alley are very different from the shops in Diagon Alley outside, the shops here don't have a clear price, and the price of any item is floating, so if you act like a junior brother, then wait to be slaughtered. There's even a shop that specializes in poisons, all kinds of special poisons for magical animals or people, this shop has you covered.

The most interesting thing is that there is also a wand shop in Tumbledown Alley. However, this shop is not made by himself like Ollivander, the wands in this shop are obtained by illegal means, digging the grave of wizards, stealing, robbing, no matter what the means, this shop can always get wands to sell, of course, wands are also collected here, usually after a kill, there will be some less decent wizards who come here to sell wands for money.

But if you want to talk about the most famous shop in Tumbledown Alley, you have to talk about the magic shop of Borgin Bock. This is the largest shop in Tumbledown Alley, and it specializes in dark magic objects, some of which are very dangerous, and the owner, Mr. Bock, sells them while also collecting all kinds of strange and evil things.

The reason why this shop is famous is not what it sells, but the surname - Boke.

The Bock family was an old pure-blood family, and Solim had seen the pure-blood pedigree, and he knew that Harry's godfather, Sirius's great-grandfather, Phineas Black, the daughter of the so-called most unpopular Headmaster in the history of Hogwarts, was married to Herbert Bock, who was Boginbock's father. If you really want to count it, Sirius still has to call Boginbock uncle. can make the famous and known "oldest and purest" Black family take a fancy to it, so as to marry, and the energy of the Bock family can be glimpsed from it.

But here is Tumbledown Alley, and here are lawless, risky wizards. They don't care what your last name is, killing people and selling goods is like a common thing for these people, and the shops that can make a name for themselves in Tumbledown Alley would have closed long ago if they hadn't had some means. It's not that no one has ever beaten the idea of the Burgin Bock Magic Shop, but these wizards who have taken action have quietly disappeared, and over time, no one has ever bothered with the idea of this place again.

However, Solim was not going to go there today, he was going to a shop called "Magical Lavis", which deals in alchemy items.

Solim pushed open the door and walked into the slightly shady shop.

"Hello, what do you need?" a small, grim-looking man walked over and looked Solim up and down. That's what doing business in Tumbledown Alley is: the shop weighs the buyer's share to see if it can be slaughtered. At the same time, they are also very cautious, for fear of provoking some ruthless characters. It's not that there is no guy who pretended to be wronged at the beginning, showed his true face after being slaughtered, and then slaughtered the store fiercely.

Solim didn't pay attention to the man's gaze, "I need tools that can break through the anti-demon skin, daggers and saw knives." Is there one?"

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see Solim's face. The thin man saw that there was no flaw, nodded and said, "Follow me, what kind of magical creature are you going to cut?"

"It's a notch with the black dragon. Solim followed, but kept a distance from the man in front of him.

"Black Dragon, you have the courage to go to the Hesidire Islands and poach on the territory of the McPhasties. The man in front said.

This wizard obviously misunderstood what Solim meant, he thought that Solim came here to buy tools to prepare to poach in the Hesidiri Islands, and the things on the black dragon were worth the money of the old nose, but the Hesidili Islands have always been the hereditary territory of the McPhasti family, as long as they found out that there were poachers, they would be killed on the spot without discussion. But poachers are still emerging, and in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence: people die for money, birds die for food.

Solim didn't explain the misunderstanding, but threatened: "Don't let me hear the wind outside, or I'll look good with you." "

Solim couldn't have told him the truth, could it be that I was going to cut the skin of a thousand-year-old basilisk? Although it is illegal to breed a basilisk, the method of cultivating a basilisk is not a secret. But in the wizarding world, there are very few people who breed basilisks, mainly because they can't afford to wait. It takes at least three hundred years for a basilisk to be useful, but in three hundred years, how many people are waiting for it? If the news of a thousand-year-old basilisk spreads, the consequences will be very serious, and the Council of Elders may even intervene.

The thousand-year-old basilisk is a treasure, and all its internal organs, all its organs, are priceless. In some ways, the millennial basilisk at Hogwarts is more precious than Dumbledore's phoenix. Although phoenixes are rare, there are really a few wizards in Europe who have pets like phoenixes, but the thousand-year-old basilisk......

Solim thinks that it is simply unforgivable to kill the basilisk so simply. What is the difference between killing and only extracting a tooth and buying a pearl? Solim wants to squeeze the basilisk to the maximum extent, but the specific operation has to be considered in the long run. But that didn't stop Solim from preparing something he might use in advance: tools for cutting snakeskin, for example.

If you want to cut the skin of the thousand-year-old basilisk, or the scale armor, generally the same things will not work, and you must have special alchemy items, but all Solim can think of, similar to the scale armor of the thousand-year-old basilisk, is only the scales of the black dragon.

"This," the skinny wizard pulled out a strangely shaped dagger, "it can slice through the dragon's belly, five hundred Galleons, no bargaining." "

"I'm going to cut dragon scales, and I'm going to find you what to do if I cut the dragon's belly. Solim said disdainfully, "If you take me for a fool, then I'll take you for a dead man." You'll talk to me when you're ready. "
