Online Games: Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 81 Reckless
In a dilapidated thrift shop in the south of Diagon Alley, Jiang Jing quietly looked at a man with a purple turban on his head, which exuded a strange smell.

He had just seen in a thrift store that this man had bought an old copper balance for seven Galleons.

Obviously, in Jiang Jing's opinion, Tianping is not worth the price at all, not to mention that he also discovered during his observation that the measurement of Tianping itself is not accurate.

This man is the legendary bully, right?Jiang Jing complained in his heart, and finally when the other party was about to leave, he couldn't help but remind the other party:
"Hey, sir, you bought a balance that seems to have the wrong accuracy, don't you want to check it again? Seven Galleons is not a good deal for a faulty copper balance."

After saying this, he didn't dare to look back at the clerk in the thrift store, and murmured in his heart: Just remind him to check the function of the product, the seller won't hit me, right?
However, the man just looked back at him indifferently, and then walked out of the store quickly.

Huh?This person's reaction is wrong, he bought something at a high price, and others said there was a problem, but he left without even looking at it?While thinking, Jiang Jing suddenly found out of the corner of his eye that the store clerk was staring at him unkindly.

Smiling awkwardly at them, he sprinted out of the thrift shop.

However, to his surprise, the man who had been out of his sight for less than ten seconds had completely disappeared.

There must be something wrong with this person... Jiang Jing muttered silently, and while looking around, he found Abo teasing something in front of the cage hanging at the entrance of the Fantastic Beasts store opposite.

Jiang Jing walked over quickly and found that what was locked in the cage was a Bowtruckle with a height of about 5 inches, brown eyes, and an appearance made of bark and branches.

"Funny little guy."

Seeing him approaching, Abo smiled and said something, and then asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jiang Jing shrugged with a wry smile, stretched out his finger to tease the Bowtruckle, and said instead:
"I just met an NPC. I think he might have a problem. Have you ever seen this person? A man wearing a purple turban."

Abo thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've never seen this person before."

……

Half an hour later, in the coffee shop in the middle of Diagon Alley.

After each ordered a cup of coffee, the four of Rossi who got together again had a brief exchange of what they had seen and heard before.

"Wow, Sissi, you're amazing, you solved the problem of getting into Hogwarts so easily." Irene said in an exaggerated tone with ease and joy.

And Ah Bo, who had always had no expectation of finding clues from here, looked at Rossi dumbfounded, and muttered incessantly:
"How is it possible? When I talked to them, I obviously got nothing?"

"Maybe it's because you lack the triggering conditions." Jiang Jing who was next to him looked at Rossi with a smile, and gave a logical answer to Abo's question in a low voice.

His speculation relieved Rossi, who didn't know how to explain it to the three, and changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, I think that the NPC Jiang Jing met also has problems."

The image of a man in a turban made her think of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who was parasitized by Voldemort.

"You also think there is something wrong with him?" Abbe frowned in doubt, and looked at Rossi in surprise, "In the magical world, it's okay to disappear suddenly, right?"

Rossi smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"Teleportation and flashing are fine. The problem is with that copper balance. The best balance in Partage's cauldron shop is only 2 Galleons and 13 Sickles. Why would he pay a high price for a second-hand item in a second-hand store?"

Hearing what she said, Irene's blue eyes were full of doubts: "In the game, isn't it normal for NPCs to do stupid things?"

"no."

Rossi picked up the coffee and took a sip, dipped a little bit of plain red lips and said softly: "The AI ​​of the NPCs in the dungeon has been raised to the level of normal people, and some may be even higher. With this kind of improvement, they shouldn't Do something illogical."

"Is that so?" Irene nodded half-understanding, and suddenly said again, "Are there any exceptions?"

Hearing this, Abo chuckled and replied before Rossi:
"If he's the exception, it's more likely he has a problem."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Go to the thrift store first."

After waiting for Rossi to finish the black coffee in the cup, the four who made the decision walked out of the coffee shop unhurriedly and walked towards the thrift store on the south side of Diagon Alley.

"To be honest, the black coffee was sour and bitter, and Rosie was able to finish it without a single drop. It's amazing!" Abo, who was half a step behind Rosie and Irene, whispered to Jiang Jing.

"Who said it wasn't..."

While chatting, the four of them had arrived at the door of the junk shop.

To their surprise, the thrift store had locked the door from the outside even before noon, and posted a sign saying "Closed today" on the window.

Sure enough, there is a problem here, Rosie murmured in his heart, before anyone else could speak, he took out his wand and took a step forward.

"The footprints appear!"

With the rotation of her body, the golden mist instantly spread at the door of the thrift shop.

Immediately afterwards, dense footprints flashed rapidly in the mist.

After hunched over and inspected carefully for a few seconds, Rossi easily found the footprint left by the man who closed the gate of the thrift shop.

"found it!"

While speaking, the golden pear wood wand followed the trend and pointed towards the footprint.

"Show me!"

With a low and drifting drink from her, the surrounding golden mist suddenly gathered towards the tip of the wand, and finally a female figure wearing a hood appeared on the footprints.

The woman locked the gate, looked around, and turned into the first alley on the south side along the eaves of the junk shop.

Following her image, the four of Rosie turned right twice in a row, watching her disappear into nothingness when she was about to enter a yard surrounded by wooden fences.

Seeing this situation, Irene quietly suggested: "Shall I go in incognito and see the situation?"

Rossi, who had the same idea, was about to speak, when she suddenly realized that her invisibility technique was not as effective as her Shadowless, not to mention, after using Shadowless, she also had the ability to pass through walls and fly for a short time.

"Okay, then be careful, and call someone immediately if you are in danger." Rossi nodded and lowered her voice.

"Well, I know."

Seeing that Irene's figure suddenly disappeared after smiling at her, Rosie couldn't help but clenched her wand tightly, ready to rush in at any time.

"Don't look at her as a nanny, but the operation is still possible. Even if there is real danger inside, she will definitely last until we rescue it."

Although he said this to the two people beside him, Rossi couldn't help feeling a little worried, if that person was in the yard...

Thinking of this, Rossi suddenly felt a little reckless in his behavior: "It's really not like me to take risks without adequate preparation. This is simply Gryffindor's style."
