The priest, who had been born and raised in London for 64 years, told Fang Linyan with certainty that there was no such place in London, and he had never even heard of this name.
Fang Linyan was silent for an instant. Only now did he realize that the promotion of the scholar title seemed to be a very difficult thing … At least it gave him a warning at the beginning.
After a while, when Fang Linyan was considering whether to give up this goal, he suddenly saw Robert walking over. He rubbed his hands and said awkwardly,
"Sir, please forgive me for not deliberately eavesdropping on your conversation, but I seem to have heard you say that you want to go to Overturn Alley?"
Robert retreated alone 10 minutes ago. His appearance was originally weathered and unkempt. When he retreated, he looked very embarrassed. There were burn marks on his messy hair. Fang Linyan also noticed that the box that was always with him was gone.
At this time, Robert suddenly came to talk to him. Fang Linyan was also a little surprised, but he immediately said,
"Yes, Mr. Robert? Maybe you can give me a different answer? "
Robert was obviously a little uncomfortable facing Fang Linyan's gaze. He looked away in a panic. The birthmark on his face was even a little red. Obviously, he should suffer from social difficulty syndrome or autism. After a while, he stammered,
"Yes, Mr. Spanner, I know how to go there, but, but …"
He even stuttered at the end.
Fang Linyan was stunned and said,
"Huh? I guess you want to say that it's dangerous there? So it's not suitable for me to go in? "
Robert shook his head. His expression was a little hesitant, but he finally said,
"But there are only Muggles … No, you can't go in."
Fang Linyan was stunned, then he looked at Robbie with a smile and put his arm on his shoulder, saying,
"Actually, I'm not an ordinary person, but I haven't received professional training. If you don't believe me, you can see."
As Fang Linyan said, he opened his palm in front of him and activated the drone skill. Suddenly, a drone appeared in his palm, then it flew out at the sky.
When Robert saw this scene, he said in surprise, "That's right.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
"It's a very simple combination of magic. First, I summoned a flying alien creature, then I cast a transformation spell on it."
Robbie was even more shocked after hearing this.
"First, a summoning spell, then a transformation spell? But casting a summoning spell requires the drawing of a summoning circle and casting materials, and you did it so easily! Why don't you need a wand to cast spells? "
Fang Linyan laughed and said,
"My magic system is different from yours. The place where I learned magic is in the Himalayas … Just like how we can go to France through the magic fireplace, we can also go there by boat. As long as we reach the place, does it matter how we get there? The important thing is that I'm not a Muggle. "
After listening to Fang Linyan's words, Robert always felt that something was wrong … But he was not a person who was good at words. He hesitated and said,
"Alright, if you want to go to Overturn Alley, you have to go to Diagon Alley first. That place is hidden by magic, and is equivalent to an independent half-plane."
"The specific way to enter is to go to the Akechi Fishing Tackle Shop at the corner of King's Road 7 in London. Opposite the fishing tackle shop is the Broken Cauldron Bar. In the eyes of Muggles, the door of the Broken Cauldron Bar is just a gray-white wall."
"Then, in the small courtyard behind the Broken Cauldron Bar, use a wand to knock three bricks next to the dustbin and two bricks next to the dustbin to enter Diagon Alley! This is a long street paved with cobblestones. It is the most prosperous commercial street in the United Kingdom's magic world. The Overturn Alley you are looking for is not far from Diagon Alley. It can even be called a branch of Diagon Alley. "
Fang Linyan was stunned and said,
"It's so complicated … No wonder ordinary people don't know. By the way, Mr. Robbie, is Overturn Alley open at night? "
Robbie said,
"It's equivalent to an independent half-plane. It is very lively. It can even be called the magic center of Europe. It will receive wizards from all over the world. Even if the owner leaves, there are magic assistants to help sell goods. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not close."
Fang Linyan nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Very good, thank you for your help."
After speaking, he turned and left. Looking at his back, Robbie's face showed anxiety. He suddenly said,
"Hey, Mr. Wrench!"
Fang Linyan turned back and said,
"Huh?"
Robbie opened his mouth, but hesitated as he said, "That's right.
"Overturn Alley is a place of chaos even for wizards. Mr. Wrench, you have to be careful."
Fang Linyan waved his hand,
"Got it, I owe you a favor. En, a big one. I'll go first; I'm in a hurry."
***
About 40 minutes later, Fang Linyan came to the door of Akechi's Fishing Tackle Shop on King's Road. He looked across and found … a gray wall!
The bad news that greeted him left him at a loss for what to do.
"Damn it, you gave me a hint but didn't let me in. Space, are you deliberately playing with me? You can't let me find a wizard to lead the way every time I enter the door right? "
Fang Linyan couldn't help cursing in his heart.
However, other than venting, scolding people was actually useless.
Fang Linyan walked to the front of the gray-white wall with some resentment and smashed it with his fist … The feedback of the feeling and the dull sound showed that this was an out-and-out wall.
Fortunately, at this time, the joint trial badge on Fang Linyan's neck flashed, and a prompt appeared on his retina,
"Contestant No. ZB419, your identity is now a mercenary. Because your mission is to eliminate unknown uncontrollable dangers, your joint trial badge has a scanning function."
"A secret door with magic concealment was found. Do you want to spend 500 utility points to scan?"
Facing the ubiquitous exploitation, what else could Fang Linyan say?! Could he choose no for the 500 utility points? He could only grit his teeth and choose yes. Fortunately, he got almost 5000 utility points from the previous mission to recover his health. Otherwise, Fang Linyan could only be described as bleeding profusely now.
Immediately afterward, there was a flash of light on the joint trial badge. The gray wall in front of Fang Linyan immediately dissolved like ripples of water. It was replaced by a very small bar facade.
A hyacinth lamp hung under the eaves of the bar corridor. The stone wall next to it had obvious chiseling marks. The old wooden sign hanging above the bar swayed slightly in the wind. The words "London Leaky Cauldron" were written on it.
Fang Linyan pushed open the door of the bar and walked in. He found that the bar looked very small from the outside. The business area should be less than 20 square meters, but after entering, he found that the space inside was abnormally spacious.
The age of the thick oak table couldn't be seen. There were messy scratches on the surface. Although it was daytime, there were still white candles burning on the solid wood candlesticks wrapped in white tin. The wall next to it was eroded by the wind of time. It looked dilapidated. Some places even exposed red bricks. There were even signs of moths on the beams. The decorations behind the bartender were many empty wine bottles. The window lattice next to it also showed the style of the ancient 15th or 16th century.
At this time, although there were only 2 or 3 candles in the bar, the light seemed to be able to come out from the walls, tables, and floor. It gave people the feeling of being in an afternoon without direct sunlight; bright and gentle.
It could be seen that there were only two or three tables of guests in the bar. They were very scattered and were all talking in low voices. Only the bartender looked up after Fang Linyan entered and recognized his face, then he lowered his head again and busied himself with his work.
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then he came to the front of the bar, threw out a shilling coin, and said,
"Hey, sir, my friend asked me to meet at Diagon Alley, but I haven't been there before. I think you might be able to do me a favor?"
The bartender raised his head and looked at the one shilling coin rolling on the table with his grey pupils. He blew at it and the coin rolled directly into the drawer at the side. He then said, "That's right. That's right. That's right.
"There is a back door on your right. Just knock on the cracked brick with a magic wand."
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Thank you."
The bartender said lazily again,
"The currency of the Muggle World doesn't circulate in Diagon Alley. You need gold coins to pay there … So if you need, you can come to me to exchange. The current exchange rate is 3: 1. The front is pounds, and the back is gold coins. " (Note: The exchange rate in 1987 was 1: 5. Considering that it was 100 years ago, the exchange rate was slightly changed.) "
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then he readily exchanged 3 gold coins from him.
Obviously, the bartender felt that this was just a small deal, but he still muttered to himself. After all, even a mosquito leg was meat.
Fang Linyan picked up a gold coin and looked at it carefully. This thing was issued by the central bank of the Magic World: Gringotts. It was made of high-purity gold. Not only that, its surface was also specially enchanted, making it shine like being illuminated by the sun anywhere, so it looked very good and was not easy to fake.
Immediately afterward, Fang Linyan came to the back of the bar and found that it seemed to be just a brick wall. However, he received the prompt again whether to spend 500 utility points to scan, so he gritted his teeth and activated the joint trial badge on his chest again.
As the 500 utility points evaporated again, the joint trial badge flashed. The brick wall in front of him began to disperse in an orderly manner. Then, the bricks began to rotate one after another, opening a door. Behind the door, there was a bustling crowd.
