Chapter 834 Transaction

To be honest, the boss's eyes turned red after seeing the money bag Kyle took out.

The cost of getting a dragon egg is only about fifty Galleons. As long as it can be safely transported back without being discovered, he can make a lot of money.

In 1899, one hundred and fifty Galleons can really be said to be a rare huge sum of money. Most Diagon Alley stores may not make so much money in half a year. Now he just needs to find a way to get a dragon egg, and this time the money can go into his pocket... It's hard for him not to be tempted.

"Come in and talk."

The boss looked around, grabbed Kyle's arm, pulled him into the store, and locked the door without hesitation.

"What are you doing?" Kyle held his wand calmly.

"There are many people outside. If someone reports to the Ministry of Magic, you will be in trouble, right?" The boss said with a smile, and poured Kyle a cup of the best black tea in the store.

"As you know, the International Confederation of Wizards recently plans to set up a dragon protection zone. The Ministry of Magic is also becoming more and more strict in checking items related to dragons, especially dragon eggs. Once a transaction is discovered, it is not as simple as confiscating them... You must not be used to life in Azkaban."

"So you don't want to do this business?" Kyle asked.

"No, no, no, it's normal to make money with some risks." The boss shook his head, "It's a coincidence that I just know someone who has dragon eggs and continues to sell them, but..."

He paused at this point.

"What?"

"He is not in the UK, and I need to go there in person, which undoubtedly increases the risk. If I leave, I have to close the store. Recently, Hogwarts students are on vacation, and the loss is huge."

Kyle understood that this was still asking him to pay more.

Did he think he was really a fat sheep with a lot of money?

Two hundred Galleons, even if you can buy a dragon egg in a hundred years, you are still not satisfied?

Kyle decisively grabbed a handful of Galleons from the bag.

"In that case, then 190 Galleons."

"Wait, that's not right. Didn't we agree on 200 before..."

"180." Kyle narrowed his eyes, put down his teacup and prepared to walk out. "I believe that even if I reduce it to 150, there will be a lot of people willing to trade with me with dragon eggs."

Seeing Kyle's firm attitude and not joking, a trace of annoyance flashed across the boss's face. He had to admit that Kyle was right. Let alone 150 Galleons, even if it was a little less, there would definitely be people willing to do this business.

I thought I could make another fortune, but I didn't expect to lose 20 Galleons for nothing.

"Just 180." He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Kyle, "No matter what the risks are, I will bear them."

"Of course." Kyle glanced at him, "And even if you are caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, I will not admit that I have traded with you. This is all your own idea."

The last trace of luck on the boss's face also disappeared.

"Don't worry, I know the rules."

"In addition..." Kyle stacked the gold coins in his hand on the table, "If you can meet my two small requests, our transaction can still be calculated at 200 Galleons..."

"Just tell me what you want, sir." The boss patted his chest and said, "Don't mention two, ten is fine."

"Not that much." Kyle smiled, "First of all, it can't take too long."

"Don't worry about this." The boss said, "Hogwarts holidays are the best time for business in Diagon Alley, I don't want to miss it."

"That's good." Kyle continued, "As for the second requirement, it is the type of fire dragon. If you use a Welsh green dragon egg to fool me, the price will be calculated separately."

Although they are all fire dragons, different species are also different. Among them, the Welsh green dragon is the smallest and the most numerous. It is also the only fire dragon that can be kept in captivity. Most of the dragon blood and dragon liver materials on the market come from this species.

The boss smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, customer. I will definitely help you find a dragon egg worth 200 Galleons."

He was now certain that the man in front of him was definitely not a fat sheep who knew nothing.

"You didn't help me, you wanted to find it yourself." Kyle reminded, then stood up and prepared to leave.

But the twenty gold coins on the table were left behind.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the boss knew in his heart that this was a deposit for him.

"Sir, please wait a moment." The boss quickly put away the gold coins and suddenly called Kyle.

"Anything else?"

"There is something I need to remind you of. When we were chatting at the door before, Holicen happened to be nearby, the lame wizard in a black robe... He may have heard our conversation."

"Oh..." Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Is he from the Ministry of Magic?"

"Not really." The boss shook his head and said, "But he is a notorious black wizard. The reason I pulled you in is because he has been greedily eyeing your wallet."

"Do you think he will do something to me?" Kyle asked with interest.

"Of course he will." The boss said, "Horican is a greedy dark wizard, with sinister and vicious means. Maybe he has been eyeing you for a long time. After all, you have been too high-profile these days..."

"The Ministry of Magic will not do anything to let such a dangerous person stay in Diagon Alley?"

"I dare not intervene. Holyon belongs to Knockturn Alley. There are big men behind him. They don't want to cause trouble for themselves."

"Really? It's terrible." Kyle said, "But you told me all this. Aren't you afraid that person will cause trouble for you?"

"Of course I am afraid, but the safety of the gentleman is more important." The boss said sincerely.

Kyle laughed. He knew very well that the other party reminded him not because of kindness, but because he was worried that he would not receive the final payment.

But he didn't care. He walked out of the door and returned to Diagon Alley.

It was almost noon. Kyle first came to the Leaky Cauldron, had a simple lunch, and booked a long-term guest room for himself.

As for going to Godric's Hollow to find Dumbledore... It was still early, so there was no rush.

Besides, he had to find a place to live. He couldn't always live in the abandoned barn that Grindelwald said.

After a simple packing, Kyle returned to Diagon Alley in the afternoon and started his treasure hunt. However, he did not meet the so-called Holyon. Everything was very calm.

A few days later, Kyle's reputation in Diagon Alley became more and more famous. Now, wherever he went, he was warmly welcomed by the shopkeepers, and free snacks and drinks were stuffed into his hands.

But Kyle had already visited these stores, or in other words, he had visited most of the stores in Diagon Alley in the past few days, and he had bought almost everything he needed, so he didn't go in.

The most important thing was that when he checked his box at noon, he was embarrassed to find that he seemed to be running out of money. Although the prices were very cheap at this time, he couldn't afford to buy boxes and boxes.

This made Kyle regret it a little. If he had known that he would encounter such a thing, he should have borrowed some from Sirius before coming.

Half of the golden pile of Galleons in Norbert's Lair were replaced by various items. Although there were still a lot left, Kyle didn't plan to use the money to buy things...

At this time, he was sitting at a table in the Leaky Cauldron, drinking butter beer, and eavesdropping on the conversation between two wizards in the corner with his telescopic ears.

They should be staff members of the Ministry of Magic, who came here to slack off at noon and have dinner.

When Kyle passed by them just now, he heard a topic that interested him, so he threw a disguised retractable ear on the ground.

Now it can be used.

Kyle sat with his back to them and hung the other side of the retractable ear on his clothes.

"What a trouble..." One of them complained, "I haven't slept for two days to keep an eye on those damn big guys. Why can't the Ministry of Magic send us more people?"

"Keep your voice down, this is confidential." Another wizard said, looking around nervously.

Kyle pretended to be indifferent, and at the same time tilted his head and stared at the Daily Prophet in front of him with concentration.

"Maybe he thinks it's unnecessary."

After a while, the wizard's low voice came into his ears.

"After all, once the Fire Dragon Sanctuary is established, our department can be disbanded."

"Speaking of this makes me angry. The International Confederation of Wizards has passed the bill a few years ago, so why has there been no movement in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary until now?"

"What else can it be? No money."

"Those capable wizards are more or less engaged in the Fire Dragon business. Once the Fire Dragon Sanctuary is established, this part of the business will naturally not be able to continue.

"It is clearly written in the bill that all items and potion materials related to Fire Dragons will be handed over to the Sanctuary at that time. Private sales will be illegal. They don't want to give up this cash cow, so they naturally won't donate. The Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards have no money, so this matter is naturally shelved."

"But if they donate money, there will always be a share. I remember that the chief wizard said that people will not pay for nothing."

"That's not much. The bulk of it will definitely be used to maintain the Sanctuary, and the rest will be divided according to the donation plan in the bill. It is roughly estimated that it will take a hundred years to get back the cost. How can you earn more by doing it yourself.

"And the donations can only be divided, there is no management authority. If the plan for the Fire Dragon Sanctuary fails in the end, won't the money be wasted? We are not stupid."

"So we just wait and see? I was hoping to transfer it to the Law Enforcement Department as soon as possible."

"No way, I want to, but this is not something we can decide... Okay, go back quickly, otherwise that guy Barbley will scold again."

The two hurriedly finished the bread on the plate, got up and left the Leaky Cauldron.

Kyle took another sip of butterbeer, and accidentally dropped a Sickle when he got up. When he picked up the money, he took back half of the retractable ear on the ground, and then pretended that nothing had happened and left the bar calmly.

He came to the previous shop again, and there was still a sign saying "Closed for Business" on it. Obviously, the owner had not returned yet.

Kyle was a little disappointed. The reason why he stayed in Diagon Alley was that he wanted to get the dragon egg before leaving, but there was no news here. Kyle didn't know how to contact that person.

"I should have asked for his name earlier." Kyle rubbed his forehead, "At least this way I can let the owl go and urge him."

Since the other party didn't come back, he could only continue to wait. Kyle gathered his robes and prepared to return to the Leaky Cauldron.

It was completely dark at this time, and the once bustling Diagon Alley became quiet, with no one on the road.

Kyle subconsciously quickened his pace, and in his mind he was calculating how many Galleons he should deduct for lost wages.

But soon, he found that the road ahead seemed to be blocked, but he didn't care, just turned around and prepared to go around from the left.

Those people also moved at the same time, blocking him again.

Kyle also found something wrong at this time, raised his head and looked ahead... There were five people in total, all wearing black hoods, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"You are the rich wizard, right?" The leading wizard limped forward two steps after seeing Kyle stop.

"What do you want to do?" Kyle said in a deep voice, without any fear at all.

"This is Diagon Alley. Do you believe that if I shout now, the shopkeepers around will come out immediately?"

"I believe it." The leading wizard said, "They have made a lot of money from you. Of course, they can't watch you fall into danger."

This is Kyle's confidence. He spends money like water in Diagon Alley, and the people here will subconsciously protect him, because protecting him means that they can make a lot of money later. Whoever goes against Kyle is going against the entire Diagon Alley, and no identity will work.

"Since you know, get out of the way." Kyle said lightly, "Otherwise, I'm not sure if you will be beaten to death by the angry crowd."

"I think someone must have said something bad about me to you, so you misunderstood something." The leading wizard took two steps forward again.

"Let me introduce myself, Holicon, a wizard who specializes in gray business."

"So you want to do business with me?" Kyle was a little curious, "Money is not a problem, the problem is what can impress me."

"Of course it's this." Holicon lifted his robe and took out a round thing.

"Dragon egg!" Kyle recognized what it was at a glance and frowned, "The shop owner hasn't come back yet, could it be you..."

"Don't get me wrong." Holicen shook his head, "I had this idea, but old Willy Tom was too cunning, I lost him, and I got it through my own means."

"You don't have to explain so much to me, I don't care who the dragon egg belongs to." Kyle said, "Since you found me, it means you heard our conversation at that time. I still have the same price, one hundred Galleons, one hand for money and one hand for goods, how about it."

"But I heard two hundred." Holicen said, "Or do you look down on us wandering wizards?"

"No, no, no, I have to confirm the type of dragon egg first, and then decide whether to increase the price."

"Don't worry, we are the most honest." Holicen raised his head, revealing a face full of scars.

Kyle subconsciously took a half step back.

"Sorry, I scared you with my appearance." Holicen said, but his tone was a little proud.

He raised his hand and let the dragon egg fly into Kyle's hand.

The dragon egg was warm to the touch, blue, with spikes on the top and a stripe on the eggshell. It looked like a large blue pineapple, and it was more than one circle larger than a normal dragon egg.

"Ukrainian iron belly?" Kyle was a little surprised, "This is not common."

"You are knowledgeable." Holicen was also surprised. He didn't expect Kyle to recognize the type of dragon egg so quickly.

"You should be from a pure-blood family, right?"

Kyle didn't answer, but simply took out a bag and threw it to the other party.

"I am very satisfied with the dragon egg. There are 200 galleons in it."

"It's great. I like to do business with people like you." Holicen said with a smile, "I have a second fire dragon egg, and it is an even rarer Hessidian black dragon."

"Can you get a black dragon?" Kyle didn't believe it.

"Seeing is believing." said Holicon, "But I don't have it with me, and that kind of thing is not suitable to be exposed outside, or I will be hunted down. So if you want to see it, you can only come with us to our base."

Kyle hesitated.

"Don't worry, it's not far from here, and it's also in Diagon Alley." Holicon said softly: "Here, are you still afraid that we will harm you?

"If we attack you, we will be torn to pieces by those shop owners."

"Who is afraid?" Kyle seemed to be convinced, and straightened his neck and said: "Where is your base, take me there now. If it is really a black dragon, I can pay another fifty Galleons."

"Please follow me." Holicon stretched out his arm attentively, "It's not far from here."
