When night came, Li Feng, wearing an all-black cloak, held a cup and a golden wildflower on his chest to open the portal to Hogsmeade Village.After crossing the portal, Li Feng was led by Kreacher into the 'Pig's Head Bar', the place of conversation designated by the highest bidder for the basilisk.At first, Li Feng wondered why the other party was still talking in a crowded place like a bar, even though he was asking for a secret deal, until Kreacher told Li Feng that it was very fashionable to hide his face in the pig's head bar, where most of the customers wore hoods or veils, and it could be said that as long as he dressed up, no one would recognize anyone.In this regard, Li Feng said that he couldn't understand some strange behaviors in the world, and he had to hide his identity when he drank some wine, was he afraid that his wife would go into the bar in the middle of the night and pull her ears?
At the same time, Li Feng thought about it for a long time and didn't understand why Kreacher let him bring a cup, he didn't hear that he went to a bar to drink and brought his own cup, what is the difference between this and being asked to bring his own seasoning when he eats in a restaurant?
You don't have salt at home or how do you drip?
Walking into the narrow and dirty bar, Li Feng's first impression of the environment in the bar was not good, there was only a small and dirty room in the whole tavern, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sheep, if it weren't for Li Feng's liking to eat mutton and getting used to this smell of sheep, it was estimated that he would have to kneel down and vomit as soon as he entered the bar.Frowning, Li Feng looked at a few rough wooden tables, although there were some candles lit on the table, but the light was still dim, Li Feng guessed that sitting in front of such a dim wine table, it was estimated that the person sitting opposite and drinking with him was male or female.There is also a thick layer of ash on the floor and the bar, especially the cups on the wine cabinet, Li Feng even saw a heavy layer of ash accumulated in the glass, it is no exaggeration to say that the original 400 ml cup can only be filled with 300 ml of wine, because the remaining volume is occupied by dust, which is drinking, drinking dust is almost the same.Li Feng touched his cup and said to Kreacher speechlessly: "Are you asking me to bring my own cup because I am afraid that I will drink too much dust and cause indigestion?"
”Kreacher blinked wide-eyed and nodded silently: "This is one of the reasons. ”Maybe Li Feng came a little early, and there was still some time before the appointed time, Kreacher, who walked into the bar, looked around and said, "Boss, Mr.
Horace Slughorn hasn't come yet." ”Li Feng frowned, helplessly found a dusty corner to sit down, ordered a glass of butterbeer, and waited for the buyer to go to the appointment.If Li Feng remembers correctly, Horace Slughorn is a bald old man in the fat world, who is hedonistic and vain in his personality, and likes to associate with successful people and important people, but he is not a bad person in his bones.The reason why Li Feng has an impression of Horace Slughorn is because this guy was Harry Potter's Potions teacher in the sixth grade, and he was still a potions master and local tyrant who could independently make 'Elixir of Fortune' and gave it to his students as a reward without caring about it.The 'Elixir of Fortune' is a strange little potion that brings good luck to the user after taking a sip, hence the nickname Lucky Potion.In fact, the 'elixir' can only greatly improve the user's abilities in all aspects within 12 hours, and finally feel that everything is going well, which is not really lucky.But this effect alone is enough for Li Feng to be greedy, so when Li Feng wantonly squandered gold galleons in Diagon Alley, he didn't think about buying a bottle of 'Blessing Elixir', but the production process of this thing was too cumbersome, resulting in the 'Blessing Elixir' on the market being too scarce, or it was snapped up as soon as it appeared.Such a priceless potion may not be available to Li Feng if he takes as much gold as he wants, unless Li Feng is determined to squat in front of the potion shop every day, he may be able to buy the 'Blessing Elixir' one day.In view of Slughorn's potion production level and collection of potions, Li Feng still attaches great importance to this transaction, mainly because Li Feng wants to ask Slughorn, in his private collection of potions, is there any magic amplification potions, if the other party has this kind of potion, Li Feng does not mind exchanging it with a basilisk, even if it is to add some weights, he has to exchange it for a potion, such as writing spells such as portals or mirror space on the exchange list, after all, compared to his own strength, what are these things?
As long as he has the strength, Li Feng dares to rob the gods of certain worlds.took a sip of low-quality butterbeer, and Li Feng said that this thing is called wine?
It's a sweet and hot drink.After swallowing the butterbeer in his mouth with difficulty, Li Feng ordered Kreacher to pour out the butterbeer and replace it with a glass of vodka or something, Li Feng noticed a wizard who was also wearing a black cloak and wearing a golden wildflower on his chest came in at the door of the bar.Li Feng lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Kreacher, is that the one at the door we are waiting for?"
”Kreacher looked up and nodded.Slughorn also noticed the golden wildflowers on Li Feng's chest when Li Feng was paying attention to himself, walked quickly in front of Li Feng, looked at Kreacher, and then said to Li Feng in a low voice: "Hello, are you Mr.
Austin?"
”Li Feng nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's nice to meet you, Mr.
Slughorn." ”Slughorn glanced at the dusty seat, looked around nervously, patted his money bag and motioned for him to bring the money, shook his head slightly and said, "No need, let me see the body of the basilisk, if you are satisfied, we will trade on the spot." ”Li Feng shrugged his shoulders, got up and said, "I can't carry such a big basilisk with me," pointing to the door of the bar, Li Feng continued: "I'll take you to the place where the basilisk is stored now?"
”Slughorn frowned and thought about it, this was not the same as he thought, originally he thought that the two of them would complete the transaction in the bar, and then go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, but he never thought that Li Feng would have no way to carry the basilisk with him.However, Slughorn thought that he still had some strength, plus just in case he still had some potions, and he was not afraid of Li Feng's tricks, so he nodded and said, "Is the basilisk in Hogsmeade Village?"
”Li Feng smiled mysteriously as he walked out of the bar, and said in a daze: "Yes and no, you will understand if you come with me." ”After a while, Li Feng led Slughorn to a corner and opened the portal to the basilisk's secret room.Through the aperture of the portal, Slughorn looked at the huge and fresh basilisk inside the portal in surprise, but considering the unfamiliar portal magic, Slughorn still motioned for Li Feng to step over the portal first.Knowing that Slughorn was worried that he was not good for him, he shook his head slightly and stepped over the portal and said, "Mr.
Slughorn, you don't have to worry......"
Before Li Feng's words were finished, Dumbledore's voice came from the secret room: "Good evening, Mr.
Austin, and Slughorn?"
”Hearing Dumbledore's voice, he stepped over the portal and opened his cloak first, and said with a little surprise and confusion: "Dumbledore?
Are you here to buy a basilisk corpse too?
”Li Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw Dumbledore, after all, he was neither a student nor a professor at Hogwarts, strictly speaking, he was still a foreign intruder, if Dumbledore was ruthless enough to knock him down on the spot, Li Feng really had nowhere to complain.The most important thing is that Dumbledore didn't explicitly say it at the beginning, and when he saw him at Hogwarts, he would treat it as if he didn't see it, which made Li Feng a little square.While maintaining the mana of the portal to facilitate Li Feng to escape at any time, he showed an embarrassed and polite smile again, and said, "Good evening, professor, why do you still go out for a walk in the middle of the night?"
”Dumbledore smiled at Li Feng and said, "Snape told me about how you protected him and Professor McGonagall well last night, so that they could let go of their restraints and kill the basilisk," Dumbledore looked at the body of the basilisk and continued: "Please forgive an old man's curiosity, I have only seen a creature like a basilisk in books, and I really haven't seen it in reality, when I learned that there was a basilisk in Hogwarts, I was even more curious to sleep because I was already poor, so on the first night of reinstatement of the headmaster's position, I couldn't resist coming to see the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. ”After saying that, Dumbledore looked at Slughorn and said, "Old friend, listening to the consciousness you just said, are you here to buy a basilisk?"
”Slughorn frowned and nodded, and said: "At the beginning, I got the news that a house-elf was passing on that his master wanted to sell the basilisk, considering that the people who can have house-elves are nobles with status and will not be liars, so I think the basilisk belongs to this Mr.
Austin......
Speaking of this, Slughorn looked at Dumbledore and said, "But listening to the consciousness in what you just said, this basilisk seems to belong to Hogwarts?"
”Dumbledore thought for a moment, saying that it was not a wise choice for the basilisk to belong to Hogwarts, after all, Hogwarts is a school, and what does an extremely dangerous basilisk want to do on a campus?
The Ministry of Magic has long wanted to meddle in Hogwarts' affairs, but once it is publicly said that the basilisk belongs to Hogwarts, doesn't this mean that the Ministry of Magic has an excuse to stay at Hogwarts?
Who knows if there are basilisks or other dangerous creatures at Hogwarts.Thinking of this, Dumbledore winked at Li Feng and said, "No, it's an intruder, but this is Austin and Snape and McGonagall's loot, Snape has taken his share, but McGonagall didn't take her share of the booty, so..." ”Li Feng: "......"
Ma Dan, Lao Deng is using McGonagall as an excuse to ask me for benefits......
Seeing that half of the benefits of his hand flew away, Li Feng, who felt his heart was congested, motioned to Dumbledore to the side to chat with his eyes.Dumbledore, who understood what Li Feng wanted to say, nodded slightly, signaled Slughorn to take a closer look at the goods he wanted to buy, and walked to the portal with Li Feng.Without waiting for Dumbledore to speak, Li Feng pointed to the portal and said quietly, "I used the portal to exchange the ownership of the basilisk with Professor McGonagall. ”Dumbledore, who was silent, looked at Li Feng quietly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.The Traveling Mage in Marvel
