Chapter 242 Knockturn Alley
·
Rui Chen 3499
Knockturn Alley, like Diagon Alley, is a magical business district, and the two places are like the front and back of a coin.
The shops in Diagon Alley are aboveboard. Restaurants, shops, and Gringotts are all located here. The textbooks and consumables that Hogwarts needs for each school year can be bought here.
Knockturn Alley is much more unique. Most of the shops here are related to black magic, and all kinds of magic props sold are dangerous and even risk death.
Most of the wizards walking in Knockturn Alley will wear heavy cloaks and hoods to ensure that their identities are not so easy to be discovered.
Walking in Knockturn Alley is very easy to encounter danger. Once a young wizard strayed into this place, was targeted by dark wizards with malicious intentions, and became the experimental material for black magic.
Therefore, the Ministry of Magic carried out a large-scale rectification of Knockturn Alley, and locked a group of insane dark wizards into Azkaban.
Then transform Knockturn Alley into what it is now—at least there have been no more murders and disappearances in Knockturn Alley.
Knockturn Alley is a place that must exist, it is a gray area in the wizarding world, and even the Ministry of Magic needs to use this gray area.
The Ministry of Magic needs to deal with some black magic items, so they will choose Knockturn Alley to sell the black magic items here.
If there are wizards who buy these black magic props, and also cause various magical accidents.
The Ministry of Magic will arrest these wizards again, seize the black magic props, and continue to resell them to Diagon Alley to create GDP.
Even at the end of the year, the Ministry of Magic would take the money and give some bonuses to Strikers and Aurors.
Dark wizards from other countries will also choose Knockturn Alley as their foothold to reduce the management pressure on the Ministry of Magic.
These foreign black wizards generally obey the rules of Knockturn Alley. If they are unwilling to abide by them, the residents of Knockturn Alley are happy to help them and let the concept of rules appear in their minds.
Kong Nuo came out of the martial arts hall, saw a small wooden sign in Diagon Alley and said, "Good place! This is a good place!"
Williamson scratched his head, he didn't see Kong Nuo's expression, he didn't know whether this sentence was a sarcasm or a compliment.
He explained: "The owner of the shop at No. 93 Diagon Alley went on a trip, and it may take two years to come back, otherwise we have chosen that place."
"If it is used as a temporary martial arts venue, Knockturn Alley is actually a good choice. We put up a billboard in Diagon Alley."
"Then put up a sign on Knockturn Alley." Connor said, "Put up an admissions billboard in a peaceful place like Diagon Alley, and be more aggressive in the face of the billboard on Knockturn Alley."
"Be more radical?" Prout was a little puzzled, "Mr. Kong, what should we write?"
Kong Nuo took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it to Prout, "You are welcome to kick the pavilion, remember to count the registration fee, and there will be a bonus if we lose."
Prout opened the purse, and a burst of golden light flashed in his eyes, "Is this really going to happen? Professor Kong?"
Kong Nuo nodded and said, "Didn't no one sign up during this time? After all, your location is here."
"So why don't you just find someone to come over and kick the gym to increase your popularity. Otherwise, why do I say that the martial arts gym is well opened in Diagon Alley?"
Williamson groaned, and said in an uncertain tone: "That is to say... we are actually here to find fault?"
"Catch him! Don't let him run away!"
Before Kong Nuo could speak, there was a sound of arguing and fighting in the distance.
In the shadows of Knockturn Alley, a chunky wizard wearing a long faded cloak appeared, and behind him were the sounds of cursing and chanting spells from several wizards.
Several red lights hit the chunky wizard's surroundings, and several holes were punched in the wall, and even the house trembled slightly.
The broken stones hit the chunky wizard. The chunky wizard grunted a few times and charged towards Diagon Alley.
The walls were broken, and the owner of the house opened the door cursingly, casting magic at the fleeing wizard, "Stupefy!"
Because of the relatively short distance, the chunky wizard was finally hit, and he jumped straight forward, leaving a bloodstain on the ground.
Hit by the Stunning Spell, the chunky wizard passed out when he fell to the ground.
Several wizards who were chasing the dumpy wizard bowed to the owner of the house, "Mr. Bokin! Thank you for your help!"
Mr. Borgin is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a flushed face and curly hair that doesn't seem to have been taken care of and looks a little scruffy.
Compared with his scruffy hair, Mr. Bojin's beard is neatly trimmed, and he looks like a shrewd businessman.
He glanced at the wizard on the ground, "Where did it come from? What did you do?"
"I don't know! The accent sounds like Spanish!" Several wizards controlled the chunky wizard, "Come to Knockturn Alley to rob! I feel that there may be something wrong with my brain! Go back and study it carefully! Mobilicorpus!"
"Be careful!" Mr. Bo Jin instructed, "Now Knockturn Alley can't be dead! You don't want to make money, but I want to make money!"
"Of course!" said the wizards. "At most, we can test the effect of the potion, and nothing will happen to him. Actually, it doesn't matter, after all, he is a foreign wizard..."
Mr. Bojin looked left and right, curled his lips when he saw the openings opened by the magic, glanced in the direction of Kong Nuo, and closed the door with a "bang".
Before Williamson could speak, Mr. Bokin suddenly opened the door again, nodded slightly to Kong Nuo and the others, and even showed an awkward smile.
Williamson looked at Kong Nuo, "Mr. Kong, are you old acquaintances with Mr. Bo Jin?"
Kong Nuo shook his head, "Why do you ask that?"
Prout explained: "We have been in the martial arts gym for so long, and this kind of fight happens every day, so we often meet with Mr. Bokin, but he never gave us a good face."
"Mr. Kong, you came over today, and when he saw you, he still showed such a friendly expression... I thought you were friends?"
"How could I be friends with such a dishonest person?" Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Going to the underground casino is just for fun, and I usually follow the rules. Hmm! Almost..."
He glanced at the magic watch, "I still have things to do, you guys should make the signboard for kicking the hall. If someone comes over, you will teach me a lesson."
"What if we lose?" Williamson asked this question very cautiously.
"You guys have practiced for so long, if you still lose..." Kong Nuo raised his fist and made a "click click" sound, "I remember you still have savings, and you can deduct it from it at that time!"
The shops in Diagon Alley are aboveboard. Restaurants, shops, and Gringotts are all located here. The textbooks and consumables that Hogwarts needs for each school year can be bought here.
Knockturn Alley is much more unique. Most of the shops here are related to black magic, and all kinds of magic props sold are dangerous and even risk death.
