My days as a landlord in Gotham

Although the wizarding world has enacted various laws to "protect the privacy of the wizarding world"

and "protecting the right to life of ordinary human beings"

To block the communication between the human world and the magical world.

But as two worlds living on the same earth, how could there be no communication?

In particular, human beings far suppressed the magical world in terms of numbers, so no matter how conservative the magical world was, it would inevitably be affected by the human world.

For example, in the magical world of North America, the commercial atmosphere here is far stronger than that of the magical world in the UK and continental Europe.

At the same time, the magic world in North America is considered relatively enlightened. As long as there is money, the magic race here can trade with any race.

So for Paul, the bar owner, it has nothing to do with him what the two Russian wizards want to buy or what purpose they want to buy. He only cares about whether he can earn the commission.

Paul knew that as long as this business could be done, his family would have enough food and clothing for the next ten years.

"Mr. Chekov, please tell me, what do you need from the wizarding world in North America?

I can tell you that even if you can't buy what you want in the wizarding world in New York, I have a way for you to quickly obtain products from the wizarding world in other cities or mountains. "

Paul said quite confidently.

Paul's family is not very good in magic. Their cleverness lies in the fact that they introduced the human business model into the magic world and formed a huge magic procurement network.

If Li Lei goes deep into it, it must be because Ma Yun is also a member of this family, because behind Paul is an online shopping platform similar to Alibaba.

Paul took out a thick dictionary, "As long as it is all the products of the wizarding world in North America, this dictionary has them.

At the same time, we also provide quality evaluation and real-time quotation of these products. As long as you like it, select the product and wait for it to be delivered to your door.

Of course, as remuneration, we need to get 10% of your final quotation as commission. "

Seeing Chekov's dissatisfied look, Paul added with a smile, "We will also give you an appropriate discount based on your final transaction price.

If you can become our diamond VIP customer, then we will only charge 5% commission for all your transactions in the future.

Presumably you also understand that we need to pay a lot of cost to maintain such a huge trading network. "

In fact, what Paul did not disclose is that the seller also needs to pay a fixed 5% so-called transaction tax.

Li Lei opened the dictionary that Paul handed over, which classified the magic products in great detail, but for Li Lei, none of these products were very attractive.

He only flipped through a few times before closing the dictionary.

"Mr. Paul, what I want is not in this dictionary.

But I know you have a way to provide it to me. Don't worry, no matter what the final quotation is, I will give you a commission of 10% this time.

But the premise is that what I get must be real! "

Li Lei spoke English with a Russian accent, and then he took out a piece of parchment from his arms, "Mr. Paul, I want to know if you are willing to do this business."

Seeing this folded parchment, Paul knew that the two Russian wizards in front of him were not here to do business in a fair and honest way, and the things they wanted to buy might not be found in the black market for wizards in North America.

However, just because others can't find it doesn't mean Paul can't find it.

He opened the parchment with a smile, but after just scanning the first few items, his face turned pale.

He pressed the parchment on the table and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Chekov, are you planning to be imprisoned for life?"

"Mr Paul, stop joking.

Although the things I listed here are contraband, they will be confiscated if they die.

And after you provide me with the items, I will immediately disappear from the magic world in North America, who can control who in the future?

Does Mr. Paul think that the gang of old guys from the North American Supreme Council can still fly to Siberia to trouble me? "

Li Lei smiled contemptuously, "As far as I know, your Supreme Council has completely offended the Human Council. It's fine if the Human Council doesn't bother them. Do they still want to trouble me?

Mr. Paul, this is a very big deal. "

Paul closed his eyes, of course he knew how much commission he could get.

That's right, these materials are basically only Class C contraband, and a few of them are Class B contraband.

As long as there is no large-scale purchase from several fixed places at one time, it will not alarm too many people.

But the problem is that these materials can become the only SSS-level prohibited item recognized by the International Federation of Wizards and Magicians in an experienced potion master-Soul Eater Potion.

No matter how far the study of magic has reached, the soul is always a forbidden area for magic.

Although there are a few magics that can indirectly affect the soul, the only magic or magic product that can directly affect the soul is Soul Devouring Potion.

Soul Devouring Decoction can completely devour a person's soul. Depending on the dosage of the potion, this process takes from 7 to 49 days.

It is a very terrifying thing to be devoured by the soul. Although there is a so-called 7-day date, most wizards choose to commit suicide within three days of the miraculous effect of the poison.

No one can describe the horror and pain after taking Soul Eater Decoction, because it is beyond description and imagination.

If the wizarding world knew that Paul was making Soul Eater Potion, these wizards and magicians would hunt down Paul endlessly.

But under the big risk is the big profit, Paul could not refuse the call of gold.

In particular, Chekov took out a small box like a devil, and the box was full of diamonds that shone so brightly that they could burn people's eyes.

Paul's last string was snapped, and no creature could refuse the call of gold and diamonds, not even the noblest wizard!

"Your Excellency Chekov, I need you to give me a guarantee. If you promise, I can provide you with sufficient raw materials."

Paul said, "First, I don't know what your purpose of obtaining these raw materials is, and please don't disclose the source of these raw materials in the future; second, all commissions and raw material funds must be paid in gold, and no other currency or Securities; third, I can complete the raw materials tonight, but I have to send you out of the United States in person tomorrow morning, how about it?"

"Of course, if there is any accident, I will not disclose the source of these ingredients to others.

As for the gold, you don't need to worry, I have plenty of gold, and this box of diamonds represents my sincerity.

Mr. Paul, I hope to see your sincerity.

Even, Mr. Paul, I can make an 'unbreakable oath' for this guarantee. "

Li Lei said sincerely.

Hearing that he could swear an oath, Paul was a little surprised.

You know, "The Unbreakable Vow"

The biggest difference from other contracts is that it directly affects the soul.

No matter what identity or guise the swearer uses, the oath is seared deep within his soul.

Once the swearer breaks the oath, he will die instantly, and no memory will be left behind.

"Does this oath also include your disciple, Herr Andrei Tarkovsky?"

Paul asked cautiously.

"It's natural."

Li Lei agreed very easily, "This is the content of our oath, can you see if there is any problem?"

Li Lei used magic to sign a contract on a piece of parchment, and then the three of them only needed to sign their names and leave a drop of blood.

Don't think that using a fake name or fake blood can avoid the pursuit of violating the oath, because all oath-swearers have to chant a spell at the end.

The contract will only take effect if everyone has chanted the spell.

And those who sang the oath will naturally be unable to escape the shackles of the oath, even if they are lucky enough to be blessed with eternal life by the gods, they will immediately fall into hell because of breaking the oath.

After Paul had examined the deed, he agreed to make the oath.

After the three of them made an oath, Paul collected all the materials Li Lei needed. Naturally, Li Lei also handed over the corresponding product prices and commissions to Paul in the form of gold.

Finally, Li Lei handed the diamonds in the small box to Paul, "Mr. Paul, I am very satisfied with today's transaction."

Li Lei said, "However, it's getting late now. I hope to leave the United States in the earliest carriage tomorrow. What do you mean?"

"no problem!"

Paul said with satisfaction, "As a thank you, I will pay for your accommodation tonight and tomorrow's VIP cabin travel.

Sir Chekov, this is the only way to express my gratitude, please do not refuse! "

"Our Chekov family will never refuse a friend's kindness."

Li Lei warmly hugged Paul.

Paul asked the bodyguard outside the door to send Li Lei and Adam to the king suite on the top floor of the bar, which was the most luxurious suite here.

When Li Lei and Adam entered the suite, the living room was already filled with freshly picked flowers, and various pastries and desserts filled the coffee table in the living room; while the dining table was also full of food.

The bodyguard bowed, then closed the door and left.

Li Lei looked at Adam, who nodded knowingly.

The two immediately used their wands to check whether there was any bugging equipment in the room, and then arranged advanced defensive spells.

In addition to using Western magic, Li Lei also used a lot of Eastern magic to ensure safety.

In the end, Li Lei even took out the anti-eavesdropping equipment made by the CIA. As a result, Li Lei really found several bugs.

Once this human bug is discovered by a wizard, it is useless, because any confusion spell can make this bug in turn be used to confuse the listener.

It's just that there is no special magic to detect this kind of bug, so for wizards, this is really not a big or small magic.

After Li Lei found the bugs, he dealt with them with a confusion spell.

"I didn't expect to find bugs here."

Adam was a little surprised at the mind of the bar owner.

"Only the stupidest wizard would refuse to understand the human world. Obviously, this Paul is not."

Li Lei said.

"However, in order to gather these medicinal ingredients, it is inevitable to deal with this shrewd guy.

Believe it or not, he is now debating whether to report us to the Supreme Council.

But I think he will choose to remain silent for a while until he finds a suitable channel.

But I don't want to trust such a guy, so let's leave now! "

After speaking, Li Lei opened the crossing door.

Originally, Li Lei's return-style portal had no magic fluctuations, but the cautious Li Lei still chose to deploy defensive magic before opening the portal.

After all, this kind of magic is beyond the understanding of this world. Li Lei doesn't want those old monsters who have practiced for nearly a thousand years to come to him, so it is necessary to protect his secret.
