Chapter 167: A trip to Diagon Alley

In the early morning, when the sun had just risen, Albert had already opened his eyes and awoke from his sleep. He turned his head slightly to look at the door, and there was a familiar sound of footsteps in the corridor.

The next moment, the door of the room was knocked, and Niya's voice sounded outside the door.

"Get up, Albert, get up quickly!"

Albert got up from the bed, and as soon as he covered a yawn, raised his hand and stretched his waist, the door was opened. Tom got in through the crack in the door, trot to the chair, and then jumped again and landed on The soft cushion on the table, lying on your stomach comfortably.

"It seems that Tom likes this cushion." Albert reached out and touched Tom's head, smiled and said to Nia: "You go out first, I'll change my clothes."

"Hurry up, Dad said that we will arrive in London before ten o'clock." Niya greeted Tom to leave, and did not forget to take away Tom's cushion before leaving.

"So early?" Albert was a little surprised.

"He said ahead of time, so that we have enough time to stroll around Diagon Alley." Niya was leaning against the wall and said, she obviously agreed with Herb's approach.

After all, this time the Anderson family went to Diagon Alley together. To put it bluntly, the family went shopping in Diagon Alley.

If you don't make time in advance, the next trip will become very rushed.

When Albert went downstairs to dine, Niya also proposed to take a camera to take a few photos, but Albert directly rejected it.

"That will make you stand out, which is not a good thing."

"They..." Daisy frowned slightly, pondering her words, and said: "...'Look at' ordinary people?"

She didn't use the word discrimination after all.

"Yes, some wizards are like this." Albert does not deny this. "They think they have extraordinary powers and they are superior. In fact, the entire magical world is very backward, waiting for you to go to Diagon Alley. You will know, but sometimes you can't deny that magic is really good and can solve a lot of troubles. But most wizards are too backward in thinking, or they are inferior and afraid of being persecuted. Well, ordinary people In this regard, we have to carry a big pot."

In fact, if magic and technology can be combined...

Albert immediately got rid of this unrealistic idea.

Reformers are usually the unfortunate ones who die on the front lines.

For a small person like Albert, spending a short life well is the most important thing. Even if the world will explode in place after three hundred years, it has nothing to do with him.

Until the end of the meal, they did not continue to talk about the unpleasant topic, but just said something to pay attention to when going to Diagon Alley.

At 8:30, Albert and his family left for London by car.

In the UK, this time is quite early for most people.

It took a while for the Andersons to arrive in London, and Herb quickly took them to the big bookstore and record shop.

"Arrived?" Niya looked between the big bookstore and the record store, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the bar?"

"Here." Albert headed.

"I went to Hogwarts several times during your school days, but I couldn't find that bar anyway." Herb could not help but exclaimed, "Magic is really a magical thing."

"Because there are spells that block ordinary people nearby." Albert explained, "The effect of this spell is to make ordinary people ignore something and prevent ordinary people from entering the broken cauldron bar by mistake."

"How do we get in?" Daisy asked.

"Come with me." Albert took Nia's hand. "Don't be nervous, make yourself look natural."

With Albert's help, the Andersons finally entered the Broken Cauldron Bar.

"I just didn't notice that there is a bar here!" After Niya followed Albert into the Broken Cauldron Bar, she was taken aback by the sights inside. She shrank and hid behind Albert, tightly Grabbed his hand.

No way, it’s too dark and dirty here, there are still a few strange guys sitting in the bar, old women smoking pipes, old bald and sloppy men, and middle-aged men who are already drunk, no matter how you look at them. , These guys are all different from the people that Niya meets daily.

Albert nodded slightly at the bar owner Tom, ignored the sight of others, and led his family to the backyard.

"Don't be nervous, you are here to go shopping." Albert noticed Daisy biting her lip and comforted.

Although Daisy looked as calm as usual, Albert knew she had a habit of biting her lips when she was nervous.

"The environment here is more... shabby than I thought." Daisy looked at the backyard and asked, "Is the entrance here?"

Ever since Albert visited Diagon Alley once last year, the Andersons have known that the entrance to Diagon Alley is in the backyard of the Broken Cauldron Bar.

"Yes." Albert took out his wand, knocked the third brick from the left above the trash can, and then signaled everyone to move back.

Looking at the open archway on the wall leading to Diagon Alley, Niya looked unusually excited and screamed: "It's amazing."

Albert said with a smile, "Welcome to Diagon Alley."

"Unexpectedly, Diagon Alley is a street." Daisy looked at the wizards around, and the old shops on both sides of the alley. She understood Albert’s description a little bit. It did seem to have been here for a while. To describe it is not too much.

"Where shall we go next?" Daisy asked.

"Go buy a book first." Albert said.

Since Herb traded a lot of Garon last year and it hasn't finished spending yet, so they didn't go to Gringotts this time, Nya was disappointed that she couldn't see the fairy.

However, the magic shops on both sides of this pebble street quickly attracted Niya's attention.

Albert was pulled into Lihen Bookstore by Nia, Herb and Daisy looked at each other, and walked in behind them.

Niya's sight was immediately attracted by those very different magic books.

After entering the bookstore, Herb had a simple communication with the owner to buy the books Albert needed.

Well, actually you only need to buy one copy, which is the "Standard Spells, Level 2" used in the spell class. The remaining textbooks will continue to be used in the last semester.

"Is this book not for sale?" Albert asked the owner, pointing to the book on the display shelf.

"Yes, it's not for sale." Pointer explained, "This is Mr. Mogg McDoug's new work. It is said that he only printed a hundred copies."

"A hundred copies are sold out?" Albert was a little surprised. He originally thought that Mr. Mogg McDoug's book would not be sold. "Why not continue printing?"

"I heard that the content inside is difficult, and ordinary people can't understand it at all, so Mr. Mogg McDoug thought that he couldn't sell it in India, so he didn't print it." The shopkeeper explained, "If you have a sense of magic Interested, I recommend you to buy Mr. Mogg McDoug’s "Basic Mowen Complete Solutions", this book is simple and easy to understand."

"So, most of the 100 books printed by Mr. McDoug are used to give away feelings?" Albert murmured. That's right. No one else can read this book. How can I buy it? Why don't you buy it back for collection?

"Don't you have a copy of this?" Niya asked puzzledly.

"Okay, let's go!" Albert took the book and paid him a Gallon before leaving with Niya.

There are many other things that must be purchased.

For example, go to the pharmacy to replenish the various ingredients of the medicine.

In other words, Niya doesn't like pharmacies very much, because the weird ingredients in them scare her enough.

Before leaving the pharmacy, Albert asked Herb to buy a bottle of Baixian essence. With this thing, if you accidentally get injured in the future, you can use Baixian flavor to heal quickly without leaving scars.

After being introduced by Albert, the Andersons were quite emotional, and they bought another bottle to give to Grandpa Luke, which is a good thing that the Muggle world cannot buy.

Since the school uniform is a few inches shorter than the limbs, Albert needs to go to the Madam Morkin Robe Store to order some new robes.

Albert met acquaintances here, the McDoug sisters, and their mother. The three came to get custom-made robes.

The two sides never talked from beginning to end, and Mrs. McDoug took her daughter away after paying the money.

"You know." Daisy asked curiously.

"We know each other, in the same club." Albert replied casually.

This time, Niya didn't clamor to customize one for herself, but curiously watched the whole process of Mrs. Morkin helping Aber make clothes.

While Albert was replenishing ink, quill and parchment in the Weizeeke Magic Supply Store, Nia was attracted by a wonderful model of moving constellations, which was a large glass ball with a model of the solar system inside.

However, Herb didn't buy it for her, because he thought it had no value except as an ornament, and it cost 15 gallons, which was too expensive.

Niya was a little depressed.

However, Albert secretly told her that as long as Niya had excellent grades in school, he would help persuade the family to buy her.

Niya's face immediately turned cloudy, and she smiled very happily, indicating that she would study hard.

After purchasing the items they needed, the Andersons continued to wander around Diagon Alley. After passing by the shop in Wonder Zoo, they went into the shop and bought Tom some rations.

If you’re tired of shopping, just grab a bite under the umbrella outside the coffee shop and chat with your family about what you’ve seen in Diagon Alley.

During this period, Albert also met Wood, who was shopping in Diagon Alley with his family. The goalkeeper did not forget to remind him to remember to buy a flying broomstick.

"Flying broomstick?"

Albert briefly explained the Quidditch movement with his family. Herb asked if Albert needed to go to the Quidditch boutique, which they had passed by before.

In the eyes of Herb and Daisy, their son is the best~www.NovelMTL.com~ Simple Quidditch obviously can’t stand him up, and listening to the tone of the man just now, I think Albert is qualified to join Quidditch. Odd team.

"No need." Albert tactfully refused. "If you successfully join the team, it won't be too late to buy a broom."

"Oh, all right." Herb respected Albert's opinion, but couldn't help asking on the way back, "You don't seem to like Quidditch?"

"To be precise, I don't like Quidditch training very much." Albert thought about it and answered honestly, "It's a waste of time. I think I can do other things."

"I think Albert just thinks Quidditch training is troublesome." Niya couldn't help but complain. "Before, he gave up basketball and tennis altogether, and he took the initiative to learn karate for only a few months. ."

The Andersons were silent. They all knew this. Albert knew a lot, but he was too lazy. Many of them gave up without deep learning, otherwise they should be able to achieve good results in a certain field.

Well, the brains of the Andersons seem to be actively blocking Albert's desire to enter the financial world.
