Chapter 277 Dating (Part 2)

After finishing the overly sumptuous lunch, Hermione leaned into Bell's arms and rested for a while before she finally felt less exhausted.

The two returned to the street, ready to continue their afternoon fun.

By the way, after eating and drinking, little Fina ran back to nest in Bell's pocket, completely forgetting the task given by Shanna.

When passing by the Literary Quill Shop next to the Fengya wizard clothing store, Bell asked Hermione:

"Would you like to go in and buy a shorthand quill?"

"Why?"

Hermione looked at Bell in confusion.

In the first grade, because they often studied together in the library, under the influence of Bell, the smart Hermione was not misled by other little wizards.

Shortly after enrolling in school, she wrote a letter to her father and asked him to buy a pen and send it to her.

Therefore, Hermione was a little confused about Bell's suggestion to buy a quill.

Bell obviously saw his girlfriend's doubts. He smiled and explained:

"I'm talking about the shorthand quill, a magic quill that can automatically record what the professor said. A good shorthand quill can save a lot of time for you."

"But why have I never seen you use it?"

Hermione was a little repelled by the shorthand quill. She believes that only by writing down the key points of what the professor teaches can she deepen her understanding and memory.

"Because I know Legilimency. I can directly store everything the professor said in my mind word for word. So I don't need to use a shorthand quill."

"Then I also need to learn Legilimency. Can I learn it now?"

Hermione had been envious of Bell's Legilimency for a long time.

"That's fine. But it's not easy to practice Legilimency to the point where you can retrieve your own memories at any time."

"That's why I have to push myself more, isn't it?"

"Well, after you have completely mastered the Patronus Charm, I will start teaching you Legilimency."

Hermione felt a little disappointed when Bell mentioned the Patronus Charm.

By now, the time she had spent learning the Patronus Charm had long exceeded the time Zanna had originally spent. But she still couldn't guarantee that she would successfully summon the patron saint every time. There is only about a 50% success rate.

Bell reached out and ruffled his girlfriend's hair.

In fact, he could use some means, such as catching a dementor, or using the Boggart's transformation to help Hermione master the Patronus Charm faster. But Bell didn't do that.

The study and research of magic is undoubtedly difficult and boring. Not every magic spell has a shortcut like learning the Patronus Charm.

Therefore, Bell did not want Hermione to develop the habit of taking shortcuts. Deeply understand the Patronus Charm, become familiar with the integration of emotions and magic, and lay a solid foundation. This will be of great help to Hermione's future development.

While chatting, Bell and Hermione were almost reaching the end of the street.

At the end of the street, there is a magnificent magic props shop. Hermione was surprised to find that the name of this store was actually 'Menethil Magic Item Shop'?

Facing Hermione's curious look, Bell wanted to cover his face.

He just said he didn't want to give me that name because it was too flamboyant.

But what his father said was that this could reflect the strength of the family, and then he ignored his objections and resolutely used this name.

"Yes, this store is opened by my family."

Bell confirmed Hermione's guess.

This shop was originally the ‘Devis and Bans Shop’, which also dealt in magic items. However, after the Bell family suddenly emerged and began selling various sophisticated magic props, the store's business conditions deteriorated.

After persisting for several years with the support of regular customers, it was finally announced that the store was closing not long ago.

After learning that DeVos and Bangs planned to sell the store, William spent 20% higher than the market price to acquire the store in the eyes of the two original owners with hatred and joy.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go in and take a look!"

Hermione suddenly burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, pulling Belle and running.

"Welcome, Master!"

As soon as they entered the store, a house elf saluted the two of them.

This house elf's name is Toby. He knew that his young master would come to Hogsmeade today, so he got up early today and carefully cleaned every corner of the store from the inside to the outside. Just to welcome his young master.

"Hi, Toby. Are you alone?"

Bell asked curiously after looking around the store.

"Yes, Mr. Jules had something urgent and went out."

Jules, another clerk at the store, is a wizard.

In fact, Jules was tricked away by Toby making excuses. The reason why Toby did that was to have a few more words with his young master.

By the way, due to the serious shortage of manpower, William has agreed, under Bell's suggestion, to disperse the house elves to work in various industries of the family.

Noticing Hermione's curiosity that was about to overflow her eyes, Bell took Hermione's hand and introduced her to the various magic props in the store.

Toby walked to the door silently and put up a temporary suspension sign. He would not allow anyone to disturb his young master's interest.

As for turnover?

That is what Lord William needs to worry about. As a humble house elf, Toby was not qualified to consider such high-end things.

"This is a frost orb. After injecting magic power into it and activating it, it will disperse into dozens of ice picks to attack the enemy. You can use them to defend yourself."

With that said, Bell put an ice blue bead into Hermione's hand.

It's all home-made stuff, free of charge.

"This is the Flame Orb. Do you know about the grenade? This is similar to the grenade, but the advantage is that it can be activated at any time, and it is more powerful."

With that said, Bell put another fiery red bead into Hermione's hand.

"This is Hellfire Stone, a one-time magic puppet that can transform into a magic stone statue whose body is burning with flames after activation.

This is a flame totem that can continuously fire fireballs at the enemy, and at the same time, it can also launch a complete protective barrier. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot be moved at will.

This is a mirror image...

This is a cold mind...

This is an arcane burst...

This is a thunder pistol, modified from a Muggle pistol, capable of firing thunder electron bullets. It is said that it is very popular among onmyojis in Japan.

This is the resurrection of the dead. Of course, it can't resurrect the dead, it can only manipulate corpses. "

"Manipulating corpses? Isn't that very evil?"

Hermione exclaimed.

"What you want is evil. If you are not evil, how can you scare people? In fact, those manipulated corpses have extremely low combat effectiveness and are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. They just rely on their appearance to scare people."

Bell curled his lips in disdain.

This thing was invented by the wizard recruited by the family. Bell himself would not have invented such a useless thing.

"Let's play with this too."

With that said, Bell stuffed the scroll with the curse of resurrecting the dead into Hermione's arms.

Hermione shrank back in fear. She didn't want this thing at all, let alone play with it. How perverted a person would be to play with something like this!

"And this...this...this...take them too."

Since he happened to come to his own store, of course Bell had to equip his girlfriend well.

"That's enough, Bell, that's enough, don't take any more."

Holding a lot of magic items in her arms with both hands, Hermione didn't dare to move.

She was afraid that she might accidentally drop a dangerous magic item and cause it to be activated. That would be terrible.

Hermione finally knew why the Bell family was so rich. It turns out that his family sells arms!

With these 'munitions' in her arms right now, Hermione felt that she could fight a small war.

"Hermione, these are our own specialties and they cost nothing, so you don't need to think too much. Moreover, these are different from the previous clothes. These are props used to save lives, so you must get more. OK."

In order to prevent Hermione from refusing like before, Bell deliberately put on a serious expression.

"Toby, go get a space bag that has a traceless stretching spell cast on it. It needs to be large, female, and easy to carry."

Bell ordered Toby, who had been following the two of them silently.

"Yes, Master."

Toby happily agreed, and then quickly ran to find the space bag that agreed with his young master's request. Toby felt very honored to be able to serve his young master.

Looking at Bell in front of her, Hermione was both moved and helpless.

These magic props are not used to save lives, they are clearly used to take lives, okay!

In the end, at Bell's insistence, Hermione left the Menethil Magic Items Shop with a small leather bag filled with all kinds of dangerous 'munitions'.

Most of the magic props here, Hermione didn't know what they were for or how to use them.

It seems that after returning, she will have another urgent problem to solve.
