Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Horace Slughorn

As night fell, Li Feng, wearing a black cloak, held a cup and wore a golden wildflower on his chest, opening the portal to Hogsmeade Village.

After crossing the portal, Li Feng, led by Kreacher, walked into the ‘Pig’s Head Bar’, the place designated by the buyer who offered the highest price for the basilisk.

At first, Li Feng was still wondering why the other party was still talking in a crowded place like a bar when he clearly asked for a secret transaction, until Kreacher told Li Feng that hiding your face in the Pig’s Head Bar was a very fashionable thing, and most of the guests there wore hoods or veils. It can be said that as long as you dress up, no one can recognize you.

In this regard, Li Feng said that he could not understand some of the weird behaviors in this world. He had to hide his identity when drinking a little wine. Was he afraid that his wife would rush into the bar and pull his ears in the middle of the night? At the same time, Li Feng thought for a long time and didn’t understand why Kreacher asked him to bring a cup. I haven’t heard of bringing a cup to a bar to drink. What’s the difference between this and being asked to bring your own seasonings to a restaurant? Is there no salt at home or something?

Walking into the narrow and dirty bar, Li Feng's first impression of the environment in the bar was not good. The whole bar had only one small and dirty room, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sheep. If Li Feng didn't like to eat mutton and was used to this smell, he would have to kneel down and vomit as soon as he entered the bar.

Frowning, Li Feng looked at several rough wooden tables. Although there were some candles on the table, the light was still dim. Li Feng guessed that sitting at such a dim table, it was estimated that the person sitting opposite him drinking with him was a man or a woman.

There was also a thick layer of dust on the floor and the bar, especially the cups on the wine cabinet. Li Feng even saw a thick layer of dust in the cups. It is no exaggeration to say that a 400 ml cup can only be filled with 300 ml of wine now, because the remaining volume is occupied by dust. This is not drinking, it's more like drinking dust.

Li Feng touched his cup and said to Kreacher speechlessly: "You asked me to bring my own cup because you were afraid that I would drink too much dust and cause indigestion?"

Kreacher blinked his eyes and nodded silently: "This is one of the reasons."

Perhaps Li Feng came a little early, and there was still some time before the agreed time. Kreacher walked into the bar and looked around and said: "Boss, Mr. Horace Slughorn hasn't come yet."

Li Feng frowned, and reluctantly found a dusty corner to sit down, ordered a butter beer and waited for the buyer to come.

If Li Feng remembered correctly, Horace Slughorn was a bald old man in the world of fat people. He was greedy for pleasure and vain in character. He liked to associate with successful and important people, but he was not a bad person in his bones.

The reason why Li Feng had an impression of Horace Slughorn was that this guy was Harry Potter's potion teacher in the sixth grade, and he was also a master of potion making and a rich man who could independently make the "Felixir" and gave the "Felixir" as a reward to students without any care.

The "Lucky Potion" is a strange little magic potion. Drinking it will bring good luck to the user, so it is also called the lucky potion.

In fact, the "Lucky Potion" can only greatly improve the user's abilities in all aspects within 12 hours, and finally feel that everything goes well, but it does not really bring luck.

But this effect alone is enough to make Li Feng envious, so when Li Feng was squandering gold galleons in Diagon Alley, he did think about buying a bottle of "Lucky Potion", but the production process of this thing is too complicated, resulting in the "Lucky Potion" on the market being too scarce, or being snapped up as soon as it appears.

Such a potion that is in short supply, Li Feng may not be able to buy it no matter how many gold galleons he has, unless Li Feng is determined to squat in front of the potion store every day, maybe one day he can buy the "Lucky Potion".

In view of Slughorn's potion-making level and potion collection, Li Feng still attaches great importance to this transaction. The main reason is that Li Feng wants to ask Slughorn if there are any magic-enhancing potions in his private collection of potions. If the other party has such potions, Li Feng does not mind exchanging with the basilisk, even if he adds some weight to get the potion, such as writing spells such as portals or mirror space on the exchange list. After all, compared with his own strength, what are these things?

As long as he has the strength, Li Feng dares to rob the gods of some worlds.

After taking a sip of inferior butter beer, Li Feng said that this thing is called wine? It is obviously a sweet and hot drink.

After swallowing the butter beer in his mouth with difficulty, Li Feng ordered Kreacher to pour out the butter beer and replace it with a glass of vodka or other strong liquor. Li Feng noticed that a wizard who was also wearing a black cloak and could not see his face and wearing a golden wildflower on his chest came in at the door of the bar.

Li Feng lowered his head and whispered, "Kreacher, is that the person we are waiting for at the door?"

Kreacher looked up and nodded.

Slughorn also noticed the golden wildflower on Li Feng's chest when Li Feng noticed him. He walked quickly to Li Feng, glanced at Kreacher, and said to Li Feng in a low voice, "Hello, are you Mr. Austin?"

Li Feng nodded and motioned the other party to sit down, and whispered, "Yes, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Slughorn."

Slughorn glanced at the dusty chair, looked around nervously, patted his purse to indicate that he had brought money, shook his head slightly and said, "No need, let me see the body of the basilisk. If you are satisfied, we will trade on the spot."

Li Feng shrugged, stood up and said: "I can't carry such a big basilisk with me." Pointing to the door of the bar, Li Feng continued: "Shall I take you to the place where the basilisk is stored now?"

Slughorn frowned and thought about it. This was different from what he thought. Originally, he thought that the two of them completed the transaction in the bar, and then went back to their houses to find their respective mothers. He never expected that Li Feng would not be able to carry it with him. Basilisk.

However, Slughorn believed that he still had some strength, and he also brought some potions with him just in case. He was not afraid of Li Feng's tricks, so he nodded and said, "Is the basilisk in Hogsmeade?"

Li Feng smiled mysteriously as he walked out of the bar, and said confusedly: "Yes and no, you will understand if you come with me."

After a while, Li Feng led Slughorn to a corner and opened the portal to the basilisk chamber.

Through the aperture of the portal, Slughorn looked at the huge and fresh basilisk in the portal in surprise. However, considering the unfamiliar portal magic, Slughorn still motioned to Li Feng to cross the portal first.

Understanding that Slughorn was worried that he would be disadvantageous to him, he shook his head slightly and crossed the portal and said: "Mr. Slughorn, you don't have to worry."

Before Li Feng finished speaking, Dumbledore's voice came from the secret room: "Good evening, Mr. Austin, and Slughorn?"

Hearing Dumbledore's voice, Slughorn crossed the portal and opened his cloak first, and said with a little surprise and confusion: "Dumbledore? Are you also here to buy the basilisk corpse?"

Li Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw Dumbledore. After all, he was neither a student nor a professor at Hogwarts. Strictly speaking, he was still an alien invader. If Dumbledore had cruelly knocked him down on the spot, Li Feng would have nowhere to complain. .

The most important thing is that Dumbledore didn't explicitly say that he would pretend he didn't see him when he saw him at Hogwarts, which made Li Feng a little embarrassed.

While maintaining the power of the portal so that Li Feng could escape at any time, he showed an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Good evening, Professor, why are you going out for a walk in the middle of the night?"

Dumbledore smiled at Li Feng and said, "Snape told me about how you protected him and Professor McGonagall very well last night, allowing them to let go and kill the basilisk," Dumbledore said. Bullido looked at the corpse of the basilisk and continued: "Please forgive the curiosity of an old man. I have only seen the basilisk in books, but I have never seen it in reality. When I learned that Hogg When there was a basilisk in Wards, I was so curious that I couldn’t sleep because of my poor sleep quality, so on the first night when I resumed my position as principal, I couldn’t help but come and see the basilisk in the secret room.”

After speaking, Dumbledore looked at Slughorn and said, "Old friend, from what you just said, do you think you are here to buy a basilisk?"

Slughorn frowned and nodded, and said: "The news I got at the beginning was that a house elf was conveying that his master wanted to sell the basilisk. Considering that the people who can have house elves are nobles with status, no would be a liar, so I thought the basilisk belonged to this Mr. Austin."

Speaking of this, Slughorn looked at Dumbledore and said, "But from the consciousness in your words just now, it seems that this basilisk belongs to Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore turned his head and thought for a moment. It was not a wise choice to say that the basilisk belonged to Hogwarts. After all, Hogwarts was a school, and why would he want to keep an extremely dangerous basilisk on a campus? The Ministry of Magic has long wanted to intervene in Hogwarts affairs. Once it is publicly stated that the basilisk belongs to Hogwarts, doesn't this mean that the Ministry of Magic has an excuse to station in Hogwarts? Who knows if there are basilisks or other dangerous creatures in Hogwarts.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore blinked at Li Feng and said: "No, it is an intruder, but this is the trophy of Austin, Snape and McGonagall. Snape has already taken his share. But Mag didn’t take her share of the loot, so”

Dumbledore pointed at Li Feng and said: "This Mr. Austin is only half the master of the Basilisk."

Li Feng: ""Ma Dan, Lao Deng is using Mag as an excuse to get benefits from me.

Seeing half of the benefits in hand fly away, Li Feng, who felt heartbroken, gestured with his eyes to Dumbledore to come aside and have a chat.

Dumbledore, who understood what Li Feng wanted to express, nodded slightly and signaled Slughorn to take a closer look at the product he wanted to buy, and then walked to the portal with Li Feng.

Before Dumbledore could speak, Li Feng pointed to the portal and said faintly: "I exchanged the portal with Professor McGonagall for the ownership of the basilisk."

The silent Dumbledore looked at Li Feng quietly, neither agreeing nor objecting.
