Chapter 132 Starting with Diagon Alley Shops

Chapter 132: Get the Diagon Alley Shop

The faint blue flame dances and flickers, ethereal and beautiful.

But many deadly dangers are often hidden under the beautiful appearance, and Ian can vaguely feel the desire of this Fiendfire to devour life.Although it is not intelligent, it has instinct, which may be the reason why many wizards say Fiendfyre is the incarnation of the devil.

And Grindelwald's technique is also simple and rude. To put it bluntly, it is just one word-pumping.Using one's own magical power to forcibly tame Fiendfire is a simple method, but the threshold is extremely high.

Only wizards who have awakened more than three times can condense magic power into a substantial force field.Just like the three-layer state change of water, the magic power of ordinary wizards is like water vapor. The second awakening corresponds to liquid water, and the third awakening can become solid—hard ice.

……

Perhaps it was the first time he used it. After about 20 minutes, Ian felt that he could no longer control the Fiendfire. This was still the case of using Grindelwald's exclusive technique.

"Of ten players who play Fiercefire, eleven will be burned to death. This is indeed true."

After dispelling the magic, he also had an intuitive understanding of Fiendfire's rage.

This thing was born for destruction, unlike the pure killing like the Killing Curse, Fiercefire only destroys and devours, as if this is its innate mission.

Ian put this precious manuscript into the dragon skin pocket and kept it carefully. He had already learned how to use the technique, and it was a matter of proficiency.

As for the later advanced magic, in fact, he can release it now without skill, the difference is that he can't control it, and there is a high probability that he will be the first one to burn.

……

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Ian woke up early. Although he was on summer vacation, he still maintained his original work and rest habits.

At about 7 o'clock, the Leaky Cauldron was not open yet, and Old Tom was busy in the kitchen, after all, he was going to provide breakfast for the guests living in the bar.

I walked alone into the familiar narrow alley, looking at the trash can that I once dreamed of.

It's funny, but for Ian, this alley and the trash can next to it are the places where his dreams started.

Count three blocks up and two blocks across.Under the precise strike of the wand, the gate of Diagon Alley opened successfully.

At this moment, Ian's mentality is completely different from before. This time he came here purely for the purpose of purchasing properties. Although Ivey said that there is no property for sale in Diagon Alley, in his opinion, as long as the price is in place, there is no such thing as not selling .

Diagon Alley as a whole is a north-south main street, a rectangular area with a dozen east-west branches, and the most famous Knockturn Alley is one of the branches.

And all the shops with a long history are also located on the north-south main street, which has also led to the fact that the shops on the main street have always been priceless, and it is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is expensive.

Strolling alone in Diagon Alley, compared with the bustling north-south main street, he still prefers the east-west branch, which has nothing to do with the price, but just out of interest.

What I yearn for is to find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle, that kind of feeling that seems prosperous but not prosperous, and quiet but not quiet.

Soon he found his target, a relatively secluded alley, a small two-story building about 70 meters away from the main street.Coincidentally, there is also a candy business downstairs, and the upstairs should be used by the shop owner because the door leading to the stairs on the second floor is locked.

This house is very much in line with Ian's aesthetics, with an overall stone structure and a Victorian architectural style.Similar to the English stone house in 'Scarborough Fair', the whole house is located in this short street, which looks very peaceful and comfortable.

There is quite a feeling of traveling through time and space, as if you were in a small village more than 700 years ago.

Ian admits he was blown away when he first saw the house.After the boss put up the business sign, he pushed the door open and walked in.

To be honest, he was really relieved the moment he saw the boss, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body.I am most afraid that the boss is a gray-haired old man, especially the kind of husband and wife who run the business together.

Because, for such old people, Garen seems to have lost his magic power, and they care more about a peaceful life and companionship.Money is always dispensable for the elderly who are indifferent to everything.

"Welcome to Bobby's Candy Store. We have a full range of candies here." The middle-aged boss saw Ian enter, and began to sell his products on his own.

Although Ian likes quietness very much, the rapid sales promotion of this middle-aged man at this moment sounds a bit pleasant to his ears.

There is no other reason, just because it proves one thing, this boss cares about sales, and caring about sales is tantamount to caring about Garen.

This wave is stable.

After settling his mind, Ian directly took out a Gallon from his pocket, and said, "If you don't mind, can you chat with me? It won't affect your business." Then he threw Galleon at the other party .

The unique fragrance of Gold Galleon and the crisp sound of impact deeply attracted the middle-aged man's attention.The other party stretched out his left hand in an instant, and caught Garen with an astonishing speed. At the same time, with a smile on his face, he said flatteringly:

"Of course, of course! This is my honor." After finishing speaking, he was ready to turn around and get candies and drinks as treats.

Ian raised his eyebrows at the moment when the other party picked up Garen.

This is undoubtedly another piece of good news. After all, such a quick hand can only explain one thing - the other party is a bachelor.

Greedy, lustful, middle-aged bachelor, with the superposition of so many buffs, Garen's power might not be multiplied.

"You don't need to bring anything to entertain, just let's chat for a while." Ian stopped the other party from making tea, not because of discrimination or cleanliness, pure... simple is not thirsty.

After the middle-aged man sat down, he asked unhurriedly: "May I ask, can this candy store earn 2000 Galleons a year?"

The middle-aged boss also frowned at this kind of chatting style that reveals his old background from the very beginning, but seeing that the other party was generous and elegant before, it just made it difficult for him to get angry.

Having been in Diagon Alley for decades, he can clearly see who can be offended and who can't.

After seeing the other party's expression, Ian felt that he was a little impatient, but he didn't care, it was just spending more money, which just saved him wasting time trying to find out.

Immediately, he grabbed another handful of Galleons from his pocket, casually sprinkled them on the table, and at the same time said in an impatient tone:

"I hope you don't try to deceive me, it's best to tell the truth, these Galleons are all yours."

Ian was also imitating Malfoy's demeanor before.

Sure enough, after seeing his style, the frowning boss changed his face instantly, and said kindly: "The best time in the past ten years was only 1500 Galleons, and the worst one was less than 700 Galleons." , on average, it's around 1200 Galleons."

He inadvertently used Legilimency, and found that what the other party said was really true.

"1200 Galleons a year, 100 Galleons in ten years, and 12 Galleons in 30 years." Ian said softly. "Very good, I will give you 200 Galleons to buy your store, which is equivalent to your total income of more than [-] years, and I will give you a few minutes to think about it."

The reason for giving so much to the other party is mainly because the shop belongs to real estate.After all, this can be passed down from generation to generation. It is exactly the kind of chicken that lays golden eggs. This is the fundamental reason why no one sells shops in Diagon Alley.

In fact, Ian’s price is still a bit low, but it also depends on the person. This kind of single middle-aged man who obviously has no children can take 30 Galleons to spend half his life in style, instead of guarding it bitterly alone. A store survives.

The middle-aged boss is obviously a little emotional, this may be the best choice for him.Taking over the shop from his father, who has been stuck here for almost 20 years, is long enough.Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"To be honest, I'm tempted by this price, but how can you guarantee that the money will be safely in my hands, and I won't get into trouble."

As for the greedy price increase, he never thought about it, this is not a candy business.Someone who can spend 30 Galleons at once is not something he can afford.

Ian also smiled slightly when he heard the words, it was a deal. "As for the security issue, you can rest assured that I will go to the Ministry of Magic to handle the transfer contract with you, and I will pay the tax."

The transfer between shops in Diagon Alley has always had a set of potential rules that belong to this place, which is to bypass the official Ministry of Magic. After all, 10% of the total tax, as long as you are not stupid, you are not willing to give it to the Ministry of Magic for nothing.

But that set of rules is only for people who are familiar and know the basics. Behind the rules is a huge circle of pure blood, and this circle only serves pure blood. If you don't abide by the rules, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the UK.

But for a half-way visitor like him, the presence of the Ministry of Magic has become a reliable guarantee for both parties.

Looking at the middle-aged boss who was still hesitating, Ian said impatiently: "My time is limited, you'd better make a decision as soon as possible."

The middle-aged boss also knew that this kind of thing might only happen once in his life.Gritting his teeth, he said decisively, "Deal."

After reaching an agreement, the next thing is much simpler.First go to Gringotts to open a temporary trading vault, deposit 30 Galleons, and then go to the Ministry of Magic to register the property with the middle-aged boss with the bearer key.

Everything went well, and when the two returned to the shop again, the boss's expression of joy and relief couldn't be stopped, and Ian got the magic contract of the house as he wished.

"Less, I'll give you one day. I'll come over to take over the house at 7:[-] p.m. You can take everything you want."

Les Stella, it was when Ian signed the contract just now that Ian knew the name of the other party. He is a pure blood but does not belong to the 28 sacred families.

After the transaction was completed, Ian chose to leave, leaving the rest of the time for the other party to pack their bags.

And Les looked at the distant figure of the other party, thoughtful.
