Chapter 279 Duel Space, Prey and Hunter

"Mr. Nightmare, this is the dark magic book you asked for."

Andy Johnson, the owner of Andy's Bookstore, which specializes in selling black magic books, flattered the black-robed wizard who was wearing a black mask with a strange red smiley face in front of him.

Especially when he glanced at the space extension bag hanging on the opponent's waist, his face was even more enthusiastic.

But there was a trace of imperceptible greed in his eyes.

He just saw that the wizard easily took out 2,000 gold galleons to buy his own magic book.

No counteroffer yet.

One can imagine how many Galleons he had on him.

Although the other party concealed his identity,

Andy looked at the large number of magic books placed on the counter, and lightly glanced at one of the light blue magic books.

A trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Lockhart, after checking each book, nodded slightly.

Then, he said calmly to the bookstore owner Andy: "No problem."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took out the space extension bag on his waist. He flicked the wand and all the books automatically entered the extension bag.

Put the space extension bag back on your waist and turn around to leave.

The boss Andy looked at Lockhart's leaving figure and said enthusiastically: "Welcome Mr. Nightmare to come to Andy's Bookstore next time."

"At that time, I will definitely bring the latest black magic books for you to taste."

After Lockhart heard this, he left without replying.

Seeing that Lockhart had left his bookstore, the enthusiasm on Andy's face turned into a cold smile.

Then, he took out a magic compass from his waist, injected it with magic power, and adjusted the frequency. The pointer on the compass rotated rapidly as if it was activated.

Soon, as if sensing something, the pointer slowly stopped and pointed in the direction Lockhart left.

Seeing this, Andy nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the other party had not noticed what he had done.

With his thoughts turning, he glanced outside and found that there was no one around. He took out a bottle of magic potion - polyjuice potion - from the extension bag in his waist space.

Put a strand of hair in it, shake it slightly, and drink it in one gulp with a grimace.

A smell like boiled cabbage came from his mouth. At this moment, Andy kept feeling nauseated and even wanted to vomit.

But at the same time, the body became distorted, the originally fat body became tall and thin, and the face began to look a little childish.

Subsequently. He took out a set of black wizard robes and a mask, and quickly put them on.

Then

"Conceal the aura!"

"Quietly without a trace!"

A transformation curse and a breath-concealing curse were cast one after another.

Andy's figure quietly disappeared, as if he didn't exist at all.

As a dark wizard, caution is a must.

You must not expose your identity, otherwise the other party will make a big publicity or retaliate after you are lucky enough to escape.

Who would dare to buy books from him in the future?

After Andy walked out of the store invisible, he looked at the location information transmitted by the magic compass and hurried forward.

At the same time, the door of the bookstore slowly closed, and signs of suspension of operations gradually appeared on it.

Soon, he spotted the figure of the man in black robe with a strange smile outside the window of a shop.

So he waited quietly while the man in black robe walked out of the shop until he left Knockturn Alley.

However, what made him feel a little strange was that he always felt that something was wrong behind him.

But after careful inspection, there was nothing strange.

Maybe it's his psychology. After all, he is very likely to get rich, so it's normal to be a little excited.

With his thoughts turning, Andy quietly watched every move of the man in black robe inside.

This shop sells some dark magic materials. Although I don't have a good relationship with the boss, the materials are really good.

He occasionally comes here to buy materials.

However, the source of the other party's materials is obviously not clean.

But he didn't care. Those who could survive here also opened a shop. Good people couldn't stay here.

For example, his magic books, in addition to those he purchased, there were also many people who committed murder and cheated on them.

Time passed slowly, and Andy once again saw the man in black robe casually taking out hundreds of gold galleons to buy materials.

The eyes are even redder.

This is his money.

However, he looked at the other person and immediately took out the money without thinking.

what does that mean?

The opponent definitely has more gold galleons in his hands.

Thinking of this, Andy breathed a little quickly. If he really caught the other party, he would really make a fortune.

However, with so much money, what if the other party’s strength or the power behind it

As my thoughts turn, there is always a trace of fear and uncertainty in my heart.

But when I thought about how easily the other party had just taken out thousands of gold galleons.

His heart was filled with confusion. When it came to escaping, he was very experienced.

Even if something goes wrong, the other party won't be able to find him, at most they will find the unlucky guy who he disguised himself as.

He is still the owner of Andy's Bookstore.

Well, caution is very necessary, but you have to take risks when it’s time to take risks.

While Andy continued to build himself up mentally, his heart felt even hotter when he saw the man in black robe taking away a large amount of magic materials.

After a while, the man in black robe came out and walked towards other shops in Knockturn Alley.

And Andy was about to follow.

However.

He just glanced at the shop that sold magic materials and was shocked to find it.

The other party actually took out a magic cloak and put it on himself.

Immediately afterwards, the other party's figure disappeared.

This left Andy speechless.

It seemed that he was not the only dark wizard targeting the man in black robes.

Just as the thought came to his mind, Andy suddenly seemed to think of something.

His expression changed and he quickly looked behind him.

Seeing that there was no one behind him, I felt a faint chill running down my spine.

Is he really the first wizard to target this black cannon man?

Have you also been targeted?

With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Andy was hesitant in his heart. The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. He must not be taken as an oriole.

I want to give up, but I am reluctant to part with the large amount of money, treasures, and gold galleons that the man in black robe has.

Hesitation, hesitation, and finally, decision.

As long as he can hold it back, maybe he will be an oriole.

The worst thing is that you didn't do it yourself, and safety can be guaranteed.

When he thought about the huge benefits after becoming an oriole, Andy's eyes were a little red and his heart was beating fast.

Then, he distanced himself and followed the man in black robe more cautiously.

This time, Andy saw the man in black robe passing by several shops, but none of them went in. After following him for a while, he found that the man did not go in.

Feeling slightly more relaxed inside.

The opponent should have their own purpose in coming to Knockturn Alley, and at the same time, there shouldn't be too many competitors.

After a while, Andy saw a man in black robe entering a shop and walking out again after a while.

What left him speechless was

The owner of this shop, like him, is also prepared to take advantage of others.

He had to lament that the world was deteriorating and people's hearts were not as old as before.

The dark wizards in Knockturn Alley are all pretty much the same thing.

The next moment, suddenly

"Are there any friends around? If so, please respond."

"After 3 seconds, I will cast a large-scale magic spell. When the time comes, I will reveal my body and be noticed by the other party. It will be my fault."

"Let's come out and meet each other. How about cooperation?"

"Otherwise, if we get involved with each other and let each other escape, it will be a waste of money."

A slight voice came to his ears, and Andy's expression changed.

Obviously, someone is aware of the same possibility, but the other party is also worried and trying to seek cooperation.

However, cooperation is better and safer.

The thoughts turned, and the three seconds came quickly. At the same time, a subtle movement of magic power gradually appeared, and even tended to become bigger and bigger.

Andy was about to speak out to stop him, when suddenly, a completely different and subtle voice came to his ears again.

"Friends, stop casting spells. If our target is discovered, we will be in vain."

"I don't know if there are any other friends around. If you hear me, go to an alley and meet to discuss cooperation."

"Whoever dares to cause trouble will attack in groups. You have to believe that if you ruin everyone's good deeds, you will never feel better."

"I support the suggestion made by my friend just now."

Hearing this, Andy also made a sound to show his presence.

Judging from the current situation, cooperation is the safest, with so many wizards cooperating. He didn't believe that the other party could really escape.

Although the income is less, it is safe.

Then, he took a look at the magic compass in his hand and found that there was still no problem.

Then he rushed to the place mentioned just now.

After a while, in the dark alley, five men in black robes wearing masks stood together, you looked at me, I looked at you.

"Hurry up, how to cooperate? How to do business quickly, don't wait for the other party to leave."

"Okay, I have a magic item in my hand that restricts phantom movement"

"I have one in my hand."

"."

Soon, there was a heated discussion in the alley, but time was limited and the plan of action was quickly finalized.

As for the final distribution, everyone only mentioned an average distribution and did not discuss it in detail.

They know very well that this ultimately depends on everyone's strength, and equal distribution is always just a guise.

In fact, how many of these people will survive remains to be seen.

At this moment, Lockhart had just walked out of a shop. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he had gone to almost 10 shops and consumed almost 20,000 gold galleons.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the cost today is really huge.

If he hadn't owned a gold galleons foundry and looted Lestrange's underground vault.

I'm afraid, even his entire net worth won't be enough.

However, with nearly 7,000 gold galleons recently minted, it's time to go to Gringotts' underground vault to complete the final processing.

Only then can it be truly used for circulation.

After a large amount of gold Galleons circulate, the wizarding world will definitely be more interesting after inflation.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lockhart quickly gathered his thoughts.

Everything that needs to be bought has been bought. To be precise, the first phase of the layout of Knockturn Alley is over.

Now it's time to start the second phase.

The best hunters often come in the form of their prey!

This is a saying that Lockhart was familiar with in his previous life, and he believed it deeply.

However, the group of dark wizards behind seemed to be very powerful. He only occasionally noticed some traces, but he was not sure of the final number.

It has to be said that any dark wizard who can survive in Knockturn Alley and even open a shop has two skills.

Therefore, he must be more cautious.

If the car overturns, it will be a big loss and humiliation.

Andy and others saw the figure of the man in black robe walking towards the entrance of Knockturn Alley, and their hearts were lifted.

The other party is finally leaving here.

If the opponent has been in Knockturn Alley, it will be difficult for them to take action.

After all, if you were to take action outside in Knockturn Alley, that is, in the outer area, no one would care.

But here, in the core area of ​​Knockturn Alley, if we really want to take action, we will violate the unspoken rules.

Once the trouble gets bigger, it will be very difficult. Maybe someone will use the excuse to kill them.

My family knows their own affairs, and they would do the same thing if it happened to them. Who would say no to something that is free of charge?

Follow behind and watch the other person get closer and closer to the entrance, or exit.

Every dark wizard tightened his grip on his wand.

With their rich experience in killing and selling goods.

The moment when the opponent is about to leave is the moment when he is most relaxed and has the highest probability of killing or stunning him.

Fortunately, a space-limiting spell has been placed here. Otherwise, if the other party changes to phantom migration, there is a certain probability of failure.

Soon, in their eyes, the man in black robe stood at the exit, stretched out his wand, and touched it lightly a few times.

Click! Click!

Just when the wall moves.

"Mental shock!"

"Collapse!"

"Seize the soul!"

"The soul is out of body!"

"."

Almost instantly, they cast various restrictive and spiritual spells that they were good at, and shot them at each other.

In order to maximize their profits, they did not directly apply fatal spells.

However.

puff! puff!

Like a phantom, the curse passed through the body of the man in black robe, but it had no effect at all.

at the same time

Click! Click! Click!

There were sounds of shattering mirrors next to their ears. Looking out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a familiar figure standing behind them.

Suddenly my heart sank.

It's over, they seem to be in a trap.

The next moment, they were shocked to find that they were back in the alley again.

But everything around is gray and white.

And it was very quiet, as if it was not like the human world, but like hell.

When a group of seven people saw such a scene, some were at a loss, some were worried, and some started searching frantically.

Because they seemed to have seen similar things in some classics.

"Temporary space!"

"Duel Space!"

"."

The wizards who seemed to think of it all exclaimed.

One of the black-robed wizards looked cautious, even fearful, and his companion who spoke very fast explained to him: "We must work together. This should be a top-notch space spell."

"It is said that only the most powerful wizards have abilities that are often used in duels."

"The last time it could be verified was that Dumbledore used it in the duel with the first Dark Lord Grindelwald."

After hearing their companion's explanation and looking at the black shadow that seemed to be watching them in the distance, a group of dark wizards looked a little shocked and frightened.

"Apparate!"

"Apparate!"

"."

For the first time, many dark wizards used phantom aliens in an attempt to escape.

Some directly took out the door keys.

They don't want to face a top wizard directly.
