From this, it could be seen how messy the management of this place was.
Even the Hogsmeade's Pig's Head Pub, the dirtiest place Elwyn had ever been to, was cleaner than this place.
At the very least, Aberforth would clean the table and the glasses.
However, the owner of this place did not care at all. There was rubbish everywhere.
The bottles and glasses that had been drunk were piled up randomly. Some were mercilessly thrown to the ground and smashed, while others were scattered on the table.
The reason why they did not fill up the entire space was because the customers here were reusing them.
The customers of the bar took these glasses that had been used by who knew how many people and went to the wine barrels at the bar counter.
Or rather, it was the unknown turbid liquid with the smell of alcohol.
As for whether these glasses and liquid were safe and hygienic, it did not seem to be within the consideration of the customers of Murder Bar.
Elwyn was speechless. Did those dark wizards and dark creatures not have any requirements for the environment and quality of the bar?
Or was it that their brains had been messed up by dark magic and they liked this kind of special environment?
If that was the case, then it really was a different kind of hobby.
But this was not the worst part. The most unbearable thing in this bar was the pungent smell in the air.
Just now, when he was outside, Elwyn could clearly smell the strange smell of thick alcohol mixed with the smell of blood.
Now that he was inside, the smell became even more pungent. It seemed that Murder Bar also provided its customers with raw food, and it was slaughtered on the spot. He could vaguely see the kitchen on the other side of the door and the chopping board inside with the carcass of some kind of animal on it.
It was torn into a mess, which showed how little confidence the butcher had.
No bar would operate like this. This was in line with the taste of werewolves.
Because of the wild nature in their blood, many werewolves also ate raw meat before they transformed.
They were like wild beasts, and their habits were the same as real wolves, even when they were human.
If there were a large number of werewolves among the patrons of the bar, such food would be specially prepared for them. In addition, there were some dark wizards and other creatures of darkness who also ate raw meat, and they might also be the main customers of this bar.
As soon as Elwyn and the others walked in, Hermione coughed violently because she couldn't stand the smell in the air.
Harry and Ron also had pained expressions. They tried their best to breathe through their mouths, trying not to think about how dirty the air they breathed in was.
Elwyn gently patted Hermione's back. Under the stimulation of the smell, he also felt the contents of his stomach continuously rising up.
Needless to say, the four of them were here for the first time.
Obviously, the other customers in the bar thought so too.
A few Magi in ragged clothes sat in the corner and muttered to themselves furtively. From time to time, they would raise their heads and look at them with malicious gazes.
Behind the counter, the bar owner was also sizing up the four uninvited guests. Because he was completely hidden in the darkness, Elwyn could not see his face clearly.
Under the flickering candlelight, a pair of bloodshot eyes could be seen.
"You four, this is not a place you should be," he said coldly.
"We want to go to the underworld," Elwyn replied.
"Hmph!" The bar owner snorted heavily and did not say anything.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and they looked at each other.
Hermione lowered her voice and reminded them, "Ask him if he saw Malfoy."
"Did anyone go in before us?" Harry immediately asked.
If Malfoy had really been here, the bar owner would definitely know. He had been guarding the counter.
"This is a secret. You should know the rules."
"Of course, if you are willing to tell us this secret, these are yours." Elwyn took out a few gold coins.
In a place like Knockout Alley, there were only two so-called rules: power and gold.
As expected, the gold coins that Elwyn threw on the counter disappeared instantly.
"Someone went in just now. What do you want to know?" The bar owner asked, leaning forward.
Under the candlelight, they could see that he was a middle-aged wizard with a very fat body. He looked unshaven, and his dull blonde hair was messy. He had a fake smile on his face, and he could not hide the greed in his eyes when he looked at Elwyn.
"We want to find someone about five minutes before us. He is sixteen years old, and …" Harry described Malfoy's appearance. "So, did you see him come in?"
"There was such a person," the bar owner said. "He went in before you!"
Elwyn and the others looked at each other. Malfoy had indeed been here.
"If you are willing to pay more gold coins, I can tell you other information."
Elwyn threw a few more gold coins over, and the bar owner quickly took them in his hand.
"No, this is not enough. Give me ten more."
"I hope what you said is worth the price." Elwyn took out another ten gold coins and gave them to him.
"Such a cute Jin Jialong, it's hard to reject him." He looked at Elwyn with even more greed. "I am taking a considerable risk by telling you this information. You may not know this, but that kid did not go in alone. He was brought into the underground world by Jareth. Do you understand … "
Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other again. They did not understand.
Judging from what he said, this Jareth seemed to be a very famous person.
"Who is Jareth?" Elwyn asked.
"He is a werewolf, the most capable subordinate of the King of Werewolves, Greyback." The bar owner lowered his voice again, almost to the point where he could only mouth. "Greyback is a follower of the mysterious man. Do you understand now?"
In that case, Malfoy did come here to see Greyback. They were plotting something.
"I don't want to tell you what you want to do, but for the sake of the gold coins, I will give you a piece of advice. Do not provoke the werewolves here," the bar owner continued. The bar owner continued, "Although you guys are wearing stupid hoods, I can tell at a glance that the four of you don't belong here at all. Every year, people like you who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth come here to die. Leave this place before anything happens."
"Thank you for your advice, but we can take care of ourselves," Elwyn said. "We plan to go down and have a look."
Elwyn did not think that they could catch up with Malfoy. They had wasted too much time at the Burkin-Burke Dark Magic Shop. Just as Hermione said, if the underground space was really that big, they would not be able to find Malfoy even if they went in.
He planned to go to the underground world and see what it was like.
