Chapter 4109 4111【Mysterious Wizard】
Xiang Nan took Lily out of the Borgin & Burke store, and then quickly walked out of Knockturn Alley.
?Although I bumped into a few dark wizards on the road, when those dark wizards saw the two of them, they were all shocked and hid faster than the two of them, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
?So Xiang Nan and the two were able to successfully walk out of Knockturn Alley and arrived at Diagon Alley.
“Where were you just now?” Lily asked doubtfully.
“That alley is Knockturn Alley.” Xiang Nan explained, “It is the filthiest and darkest place in the magical world. The shops there sell all black magic items, and only dark wizards gather there.
I heard from my mother that dark wizards like to kidnap underage wizards. Because they contain magic power in their bodies, they are very good materials for casting spells, especially black magic. "
"They will kill them?" Lily said in horror, immediately thinking of the materials used in the Potions class. Caterpillars, toad eggs, frog livers, mouse tails, unicorn tail hairs...
?When she used these materials to brew the potion, she never imagined that she might one day become the ingredients.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "The blood, internal organs, bones, brains, skin, and even souls of wizards are all the materials that dark wizards crave. So don''t be curious and run alone to knock them over. Lane. Once something happens, it will be too late to regret.”
Lily''s face turned pale when she heard this, and she nodded quickly.
…
Then, the two went to Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley and bought the textbooks they needed for the second grade. Xiang Nan paid for them.
"Sifu, thank you, I will pay you back the money." Lily said to Xiang Nan.
"Don''t say that. You can help me brew the potion. You don''t even need a copper nate, so two textbooks are nothing." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
"I can only help you, I might as well learn more from you." Lily also waved her hand.
She can only brew some simple potions. She couldn''t take the elation potion, intelligence-enhancing potion, living **** potion, powerful healing potion, etc., so it didn''t really help much. On the contrary, I made medicine with Xiang Nan and learned a lot from him.
“Okay, we are all friends, so don’t tell them so clearly.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
Lily nodded.
At this moment, I heard two voices saying, "You are also here to buy books, what a coincidence~", "Yes, how come it is such a coincidence?"
Xiang Nan and Lily looked back, but they were James Potter and Sirius Black.
“It’s a coincidence that you are here to buy books too~” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
In fact, it’s not a coincidence, because the students at Hogwarts all received owl letters today. After receiving the letter, it was normal to come to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley to buy books.
After all, in the entire British wizarding world, this is the only place where new textbooks are sold.
…
?After buying the book, the four of them sat at Florin''s Cold Drink Shop, eating ice cream and chatting.
“Lily and I just used floo powder and accidentally called the wrong place name and ran to Knockturn Alley.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Wow, really? Is it thrilling or thrilling?" James Potter asked excitedly when he heard this, "It is said that there are dark wizards there, and my parents won''t let me go at all."
"There''s no danger. When those dark wizards saw us, they hid faster than us." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "I didn''t even have a chance to show off."
“Why is that?” Sirius asked puzzledly. As far as he knew, those dark wizards were very cruel. Whenever they saw a wizard who was alone, especially an underage wizard, they would immediately take action, either by luring or forcing them, abducting them, and then killing them.
That’s why parents repeatedly remind their children not to go to Knockturn Alley. No matter how curious you are, it won’t do. These are lessons learned at a **** price.
"I heard from the owner of the Borgin & Burke store that a dark wizard came to Knockturn Alley a few days ago. He likes to pretend to be a child, pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. I don''t know what method he used to absorb some of the dark wizard''s magic power. He actually turned them into squibs, so maybe those dark wizards thought that Lily and I were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers."
“Is there such a thing?” James Potter asked in surprise.
He did know the difference between a wizard and a squib, but he didn''t know that a wizard could actually degenerate into a squib, which was really strange.
“I thought it was strange at first and wanted to keep asking, but the boss refused to say anything anymore.” Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"This thing is indeed strange. I''ll ask about it later." Sirius said enthusiastically.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, contact us through owl."
He deliberately brought up this topic because he wanted to know whether those dark wizards had really turned into squibs.
It would be great if it were true. Those dark wizards usually do many evil things and are lawless, and now they finally get their comeuppance.
?As for the wizarding world being well-informed, who is better than pure-blood families like James Potter and Sirius Black?
…
After eating the ice cream, Xiang Nan and Lily said goodbye to James and Sirius, and then passed through the fireplace in Diagon Alley and used Floo powder to return home.
With the experience from the last time, Lily made no mistakes this time.
"It''s amazing, I love magic." Seeing herself returning home from Diagon Alley in the blink of an eye, traveling hundreds of miles in an instant, Lily felt very magical.
Xiang Nan also smiled and nodded, "Don''t mention Knockturn Alley to anyone, so as not to worry your parents." He reminded in a low voice.
Lily nodded.
…
In the next month, Lily came to Xiang Nan''s house almost every day, learning to cook potions with him, and learning magic knowledge with him.
In "Standard Spells: Level 2", there are immobilization spells, creaking spells, dancing spells, manifesting spells, expansion spells, owning holes, etc.
?These spells are nothing more than child''s play for Xiang Nan. However, for Lily, it is still quite profound and requires learning to master.
Luckily, the teacher Xiang Nan was there, and she was also extremely talented, so Lily learned quickly. By the time school started, she had mastered all these spells.
“Lily, you are indeed a genius.” Xiang Nan clapped his hands and smiled.
"How can I be called a genius in front of you?" Lily was very self-aware, waving her hands and smiling.
When Xiang Nan first entered school last year, he had already learned more than most seventh-grade students. After a year of study, his strength is probably approaching that of some professors at Hogwarts. At best, I am an excellent student, but my grade is far from good.
“I am also grateful to my mother for her teachings.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Actually, Snape''s strength was mediocre, although he was proficient in many spells and knew more than a seventh grader. But because of insufficient magic power, he is no match for James and Sirius.
??But Xiang Nan absorbed the magic power of more than thirty wizards and made up for this shortcoming. That''s why he can look down upon all the students at Hogwarts.
