Online Games: Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 69 The Broomstick - Snow Dance
Although he noticed the strangeness of those players, Rossi only thought that they recognized him, walked around the bar indifferently, and walked to a patio with walls on three sides.

Whether it's previous memories or forum news, it has been mentioned that the wall she is facing now is the passage leading to Diagon Alley.

"It's all here, so I have to go to the famous Diagon Alley!"

Thinking of this, Rossi took out his wand, followed the prompts to find the third brick on the dustbin, then moved two bricks to the left, and tapped it lightly three times.

In an instant, the bricks on the wall in front of her shook violently, quickly forming a passage.

It was almost dusk, and the narrow alleyway behind the passage seemed very dark. Rossi quickly walked out from the shadow of the building, and stood at the street entrance, feeling a little warmth under the rays of the setting sun.

As the most prosperous commercial district in the game, Diagon Alley has several times more NPCs and players than other places, and it is also several times more lively and noisy.

With a huge sum of nearly two hundred Galleons on his body, Rossi asked himself in high spirits: "Is it a little sorry for myself if I don't buy anything in such a bustling shopping street?"

"Ollivander's Wand Shop? Forget it, I already have two wands, and it's not cheap to open another wand slot, and there must be no special wands in the system store." Rossi shook her head slightly, and shifted her gaze again elsewhere.

"Credence Firearms? Is this the punishment agency that opened the shop into Diagon Alley? It's a pity that I don't have extra skill points to learn firearms, otherwise I can buy a pistol as a secondary weapon."

……

After passing by several shops, Rossi suddenly saw a shop named Quidditch Boutique.

"By the way, I need a new broom!"

Rosie, who suddenly remembered that she was still using a novice broom, immediately made a decision and walked into the discounted Quidditch boutique.

As soon as you enter the store, the first thing that bears the brunt is a broom placed in the glass showcase directly opposite. The straight silver broom body and golden broom head attract the attention of every customer who enters the store.

On the wall to the left of the showcase, dozens of brooms, large and small, are placed unevenly, and underneath are the armor used for playing Quidditch.

On the right side of the display case is a wall with shelves but no merchandise, and behind it are various game balls placed in a large glass case.

"Miss Wizard, what do you want to buy?" A female wizard wearing a wizard robe and a pointed wizard hat came up and asked politely.

Rossi moved her gaze to the top of her head, only to see that the game system perfunctorily displayed the four characters of the store clerk.

"I want to buy a proper broom, one that is smooth, safe, and fast."

The shop assistant looked up at Rossi for a few moments, and said with a smile: "There are many stable and safe brooms, but if you add fast ones, there will be none."

Uh... Could it be that I was being satirized by an NPC?You don't want to do business at all, do you?

Rossi rolled her eyes secretly, and said again: "Then is there any recommendation for a broom that suits me?"

The female clerk immediately pointed to a broom that suddenly appeared on the right wall and introduced: "The novice's oak arrow 89, the speed is 20 per hour, the height limit is 5 meters, and each flight cannot exceed 10 minutes. The novice's dream of the moon 02, The speed is 20 per hour, the height limit is 4 meters, and the use time limit is the same as the oak arrow..."

"It's too slow." Recalling the speed and altitude when Jiang Jing took her to fly before, Rossi complained casually.

"This is the highest speed you can use at the moment." The saleswoman said with a smile, "For safety's sake, if you want to use a broom with a faster speed, I suggest you take part in broomstick training first."

Rossi sighed, and said helplessly: "I know this too, but I have to go back to the training ground in Godric's Hollow if I want to train on the broomstick. At this point in time, even if I go back, it's already closed .”

"Perhaps, you can try the special training ground in our store?" the saleswoman said, "Although the price is higher than the training ground in the village, it is safer and more convenient. It also provides you with various broomstick test flights for free. Allows you to find the right broom during your training."

Hearing this, Rossi immediately became interested: "How much?"

"Ten Sickles for half an hour."

10 Sickles for half an hour? ! !Doesn't this mean that the monthly salary of the trainee detectives can only be trained here for two and a half hours? !
"It's too expensive!" Rossi couldn't help complaining.

"It's worth the money, miss." The female shop assistant squinted her eyes and smiled softly, "Looking at what the lady is wearing, she doesn't seem like someone who would care about such a small amount of money. It's a very good deal to exchange money for ability."

Although this sounds reasonable, thinking that this is just a line designed by the game planner to earn money from players, Rossi suddenly felt a little funny: This is judging from the expensive fashion I wear. Money people, all will take the initiative to bring up the special training ground.

After thinking for a while, Rossi took out 10 Sickles and handed it to the clerk: "Okay, I'll try it first, and if the effect is good, I'll add more time."

"Okay, miss, please come here." The female clerk led Rossi to a compartment in the shop, opened the door of the compartment and said, "Please stand inside, close your eyes, and hear the sound of the door opening." Open it later."

Rossi nodded slightly to express her understanding, then followed her words and walked into the cubicle.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already appeared in a vast space.

The temperature here is suitable, the light is sufficient, surrounded by a border of faint blue light, and in front of him is a wooden table with various brooms.

"Ding, enter the special training ground for flying broomsticks. The time limit is 30 minutes. Practice broom skills here, and the effect will increase by 1.5 times."

Looking at the clock running on the system panel, Rossi immediately picked up a broom and rushed out.

The moment she left the ground, many light circles and obstacles immediately appeared in the wide space. The training method of the broomstick is to pass through the light circle while avoiding the obstacles.

"what……"

One minute later, due to being hit by a constantly moving obstacle, Rossi, who fell off his broomstick, screamed and fell, and then was firmly caught by the cotton-like ground.

"Well, this place is indeed safer than the training ground in Godric's Hollow."

Rossi, who didn't feel the slightest pain, lit up her eyes, got up from the ground immediately, and ran to the wooden table covered with brooms again.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye Rossi spent three hours on the training ground, trying to improve his broomstick skills from novice level to apprentice level.

The reason why I don't practice any more is because the experience of skills above the apprentice level can only be increased by participating in Quidditch competitions.

Carrying the newly purchased broomstick, Rossi walked out of the Quidditch boutique with satisfaction.

"Snow Dance broom for apprentices: a slender ash-handled broom with a speed of 60 km/h and a flying height of 11 meters. Every time it is used for more than 10 minutes, it must be stopped for 1 minute, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the broom. damage."
