Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

On December 1992, 12, the day before Christmas, Alexis arrived in Egypt successfully.

As Christie said, although he has been traveling around the world for 11 years, he has not made many friends. Moreover, the last time he came to Egypt was several years ago.

Therefore, after Alexis arrived in Egypt, he was a little confused for a while when faced with the scorching temperature and the yellow sand.

He did not go to see Bill, the eldest son of the Weasley family, who should be regarded as his only three acquaintances in Egypt.The other two were the targets he was looking for.

Alexis stood in the yellow sand for a long time, until his body was covered with a thin layer of sand, then he took steps, followed the twists and turns in his memory, and got into a small alley.

At the end of the alley is a bar.

The bar is an all-wood structure, with wooden boards nailed all over the outside, and the windows are completely blocked. Only the two doors at the entrance can vaguely see what's going on inside.

Stepping into the bar, a wave of heat hit me, followed by noisy noise.

Wizards dressed very differently from the British sat around the small table, holding wine glasses and talking loudly while exuding the smell of sweat. Occasionally, they stretched out their hands to ask the waiter to bring drinks.

Alexis wrinkled her nose, wrapped her windbreaker tightly and sat in front of the bar. Fortunately, the layout of the bar was quite 'reasonable'. There was a small circle around the bar. With this short distance as a buffer, she sat next to the bar. , the noise seemed to have become smaller.

"A glass of redcurrant rum."

The rough-skinned boss glanced up at Alexis, pouted his lips calmly, and handed him a glass of maroon wine.

After drinking the red currant rum in one gulp, Alexis greeted again.

"Firewhiskey"

"Little brat, firewhiskey is not for minors."

The bar owner looked up and said.

Only then did Alexis see his appearance clearly.

The boss looked very old. His left eye was closed, his eyelids were sunken, and there was a rough scratch on it. The wind and sand left deep scratches on the skin of his face, making him look older than his actual age. Aging a lot.

"I remember this bar belonged to the old Imam."

The last time Alexis came to this bar, there was a lame and stooped old man behind the bar. It was here that he met a group of adventurers and followed them to meet Lockhart in the desert.

"The old Imam is dead, and now this place is mine."

The boss stared at Alexis with his only remaining eye.

boom--

The base of the cup collided with the table, making an unclear sound. The boss pointed his finger, and a raging flame rose from the cup.

The flame didn't last long, and soon went out. The water in the cup was roasted by the flame, and a dense mist rose up.

Alexis glanced at the boss, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The hot liquid entered his throat, went down his throat, and burned all the way to his stomach.

"what--"

Alexis opened her mouth and uttered a syllable, placing the cup back in its place.

"Continued Cup."

"Nothing."

said the boss.

At some point, or maybe it was the effect of the alcohol, the noise reaching Alexis's ears became quieter.

He frowned and let out a dissatisfied murmur.

"Then have a glass of something else."

The boss of the valley glanced at Alexis and poured him a glass of refreshing liquid. Alexis took a sip and tasted it carefully. The liquid had a slightly sweet taste in his mouth, which was refreshing and refreshing. The burning heat of the fire whiskey just now made his whole body feel so comfortable, as if every pore in his body had opened.

"Dude."

A strange voice came from beside him, accompanied by the smell of sweat. A man with a gauze scarf on his head was sitting next to him, leaning sideways and looking towards him.

"roll."

Alexis raised her eyelids and uttered a word.

A gloomy look flashed across the strange man's face. He looked Alexis up and down, as if he wanted to remember him completely, and then stood up.

“Man, this isn’t England—”

"He's right." The boss straightened his back, holding the towel in one hand, and the other hand dropped naturally. He stared at the strange man with one eye, looking like an eagle, "Kaba, go back and take care of your mother."

The strange man named Kaba shrank his neck and opened his mouth to say something. As soon as his eyes met the boss's one eye, he immediately gave up and turned around to leave.

Alexis watched calmly while drinking. It was not until the boss drove Kabbah away that he put down his glass, took out a handful of Galleons from his arms and sprinkled it on the table.

Ding~dingding~~dingding~

Garen jumped and rolled on the table, then slowly lay flat, finally being gathered together by Alexis's hands.

"Is business still open?"

Alexis asked.

One Eye straightened his body and nodded slightly.

"First, the list of new wizards entering Egypt this month."

It doesn't matter whether Slughorn has recently arrived in Egypt or whether he has lived in seclusion in Egypt for a long time. What Alexis is not looking for is Slughorn. What he is looking for is to fight with Slughorn. The group of people who got up.

Regardless of the information obtained through any means, that group of people guessed that they had recently entered Egypt, otherwise Slughorn's blood letter would have been delivered long ago.

It is also worth mentioning that, similar to the Muggle world, wizards of different nationalities must report to the local Ministry of Magic when entering other countries. However, the number of wizards is relatively rare, and wizards who cross borders every day are not as likely as Muggles. There are so many melons.

One Eye thought for a moment and raised two fingers.

Alexis had bought information at this bar—or had seen others buy it.It was revealed that Lockhart had bought an adventurer here. Alexis watched the whole process. When it was his turn, the bar owner was so irritated by him that he almost got drunk.

Alexis did not agree immediately. He remembered Lockhart saying that if you don't bargain with the price of the first piece of news, the second piece of news will be so expensive that it will make you doubt your life, and then the third, fourth... you will soon... Will go bankrupt.

So Alexis took out fifteen gold coins from his hand and pushed them towards One Eye.

"Brit, this isn't mall shopping."

One Eye said in an evil voice.

Alexis thought for a while and felt that what One Eye said seemed reasonable. Maybe he should consider listening to the second message's quotation before negotiating the price as appropriate. After all, twenty galleons for an entry list was not a good deal for Alexis. It feels expensive.When asked, he even prepared a name worth twenty galleons.

After setting aside another five galleons, Alexis whispered, "I can add ten more galleons, but they must be together with the Muggle ones."

One-Eye glanced at Alexis with a 'you're sick' look, and with a swipe of his hand, thirty gold coins fell from the edge, and then disappeared.

"Second, I want to find this person."

Alexis took out Lockhart's photo and took it on the bar, her tone a little cold.

"I will stay in the Muggle villa area outside the city until the end of New Year's Day. This man has a reward of one hundred thousand Galleons."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of swallowing in the bar, and then, without waiting for Alexis to turn around, more than half of the guests got up and rushed outside.
