Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 45
Knockturn Alley has changed.

A shadow wrapped in mystery and treachery has quietly descended on this street.

The black wizards who came and went kept silent, desperately lowering their sense of existence, for fear of offending that terrifying existence.

But one person is an exception.

Karak Bock.

This dog-like old thing has become more arrogant recently.

At the end of Knockturn Alley, the Black Ship Tavern.

"Wiggins, my old friend, how are you?"

There was a smile on Karak's face, but there was a look of superiority in his eyes.

He raised his wine glass to salute the person opposite, and put on a decent satin dress, which made it obvious at a glance that the fabric was of the highest quality.

At least his drinking buddy, voodoo store owner Wiggins Carr doesn't have such high-end clothes in his closet.

"Oh, my life is as usual, there is nothing to say.

On the contrary, you seem to be having a good time. "

Smoking a cigarette made of special grass leaves, the blind old Wiggins sneered again and again.

Who doesn't know that the old man Bok has had good luck recently, needless to say, this is showing off to him.

"Of course."

Unexpectedly, Karak admitted it openly.

When Lord Sauron asked for his shop that day, he was indeed very frightened.

But seeing the bag after bag of golden cuties, and the tip of the elder wand, he succumbed like so many Dark wizards.

Putting all emotions behind him, Karak forced himself to "convince" the person in front of him.

There is nothing to say, this lord has both money and strength.

What else can I do?

As a result, the old Bock sold the store that the family had run for hundreds of years, and changed from a boss to an employee.

Lord Sauron, on the other hand, became his boss.

"Hey, we've been friends for decades, tell me about your boss, no, tell me about that sir."

Although Wiggins disdains Karak's nouveau riche flaunting, he is still very interested in the characters behind him.

Sauron.

That's the name of the shadow that's been hanging over Knockturn Alley lately.

Anyone who lives in this street is doing everything possible to inquire about him.

But without exception, they all failed.

This guy just popped out of nowhere and couldn't find anything!
"Master Sauron. Hehe, that is a remarkable character."

There is a smile on the face, but there is some sadness in the heart.

Before that day, his name, Karak, had been revered.

How can a person who is able to get along in the chaotic Knockturn Alley like a duck to water, suddenly become rich and become an upstart who only shows off everywhere.

but
This is the attitude Lord Sauron wants.

The more conspicuous and arrogant he was, the more satisfied Lord Sauron would be.

Although he didn't know what it was for, but for the sake of the lives of the whole family, he had to put down his old face, abandon his previous pride, and become a complete dog's leg.

"I'm only talking to you, don't spread the word"

Smiling, Karak spoke drunkenly, the bustling tavern froze for a moment, and then immediately returned to its original state.

But Karak knew that there must be countless ears pricked up in the dark.

After calming down and putting those messy things behind him, he took a sip of wine first, and then spoke mysteriously, deliberately not lowering his voice.

"Master Sauron is a powerful wizard. There is no doubt about it. Although he looks young, only in his 20s, he has actually lived for thousands of years."

"hiss!"

Wiggins gasped, his one-eyed eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is impossible."

To be honest, he didn't believe that someone could live to be a thousand years old.

Wizards are not magical creatures!
"To be honest, I didn't quite believe it at first."

Karak smiled, and then gradually suppressed the smile.

"So, have you heard of the legendary Deathly Hallows?"

"Deathly Hallows, what's that?"

Old Wiggins froze for a moment, shaking his head doubtfully.

"The person who owns the Deathly Hallows will become the master of death.

The Elder Wand will make you invincible, the Resurrection Stone will make you immune to death, and the Invisibility Cloak will erase all traces of you in the world."

He didn't expect the other party to have heard of the name of the Deathly Hallows, Karak spoke slowly.

Having said that, Wiggins is a little impressed.

What is the Deathly Hallows? It has a very famous name, but isn't it actually the content of the storybook?

What is that book called?

correct!

The Tales of Beedle the Poet

"What does this have to do with Lord Sauron?"

With a grunt of dissatisfaction, Wiggins smacked his lips.

I wanted to collect some information, but who would have thought that this old guy would be so slippery that he would use fairy tales to prevaricate him.

Do you really think he is a fool?

"Your Excellency Sauron, the owner of the Deathly Hallows."

Seeing the other party's disapproving expression, Karak didn't hesitate, and threw Wang Zha directly.

"All the holy artifacts are in Lord Sauron's hands, so he was able to defeat death and survive till now!"

Defeated death and survived to this day?
Wiggins looked at Karak as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights, looking at the serious and exaggerated expression on the other side, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

This old guy is afraid that Sauron took care of him so badly that he even believed such nonsense.

Victory over death?

It's nothing more than an excuse to put gold on his face.

In Knockturn Alley for so many years, Wiggins has seen many spellcasters from all over the world, and there are many who claim to be immortal. In the end, it was nothing more than a set of ridiculous tricks.

Unexpectedly, Karak Birkin, this old fritter in Knockturn Alley, was actually bluffed.

Hey.

It's hilarious.

"ignorance."

Wiggins wanted to laugh at him, so why did Karak not want to laugh at Wiggins.

The frog in the well doesn't know how big the world is.

Lord Sauron used an almost unreasonable method to shatter his perception of strength and reshape the whole world.

the grown-up.

But a great existence close to God!

It can only be said that ordinary people are ordinary people.

"Let me tell you that a character like Lord Sauron originally lived in seclusion and did not easily show his face in front of the world.

But a recent incident forced him to walk out of the mountains."

After taking a sip of wine, Karak ignored Wiggins and continued to talk about what the boss told him word by word.

"Lord Sauron's Lord of the Rings is lost, it is said to be in London!"

"Wait a minute, what is the Lord of the Rings?"

Wiggins claimed to have seen many worlds, but the "Deathly Hallows" just made him puzzled for a long time, and now there is another "Lord of the Rings".

The owner of the voodoo shop felt a little out of his mind.

"I don't know about this either, Lord Sauron didn't explain it to me.

He just said that this ring is a treasure made of divine gold, which contains part of his power, and it will be very troublesome if it is lost."

Karak and Wiggins were still chatting intentionally or unintentionally, and the atmosphere in the tavern was still warm.

But after careful observation, it is not difficult to find that when the eyes of many people in the tavern heard the word "God Gold", a touch of uncontrollable greed burst out.
