Chapter 951 Staff in hand, follow me, kill the goblin, grab Gallon!

August is coming to an end, and at the tail end of this summer holiday, another large-scale war broke out in Britain.

The concentration point of the battlefield, beyond everyone's expectations, actually happened in... Diagon Alley.

That's right, Diagon Alley.

On a certain evening, Death Eaters suddenly appeared here and carried out a round of beating, smashing, looting and burning of various shops.

The only thing that hasn't been destroyed is Gringotts.

The goblins were still swaying left and right, extremely neutral, and the Death Eaters didn't dare to shout:

"Stick in hand, follow me, kill the goblin, grab Gallon."

But the impact of this attack was particularly bad.

Diagon Alley, one of the three major commercial streets in Europe, is the financial center of the British wizarding world.

The importance cannot be overstated.

Therefore, such a seemingly ordinary war action, because of the particularity of the chosen location, officially announced the comprehensiveness and intensification of the Second Wizarding War.

So far, the early raid-style battles have finally come to an end, and a state of full-scale war has begun.

And those ordinary wizards who think they can stay out of it, have actually experienced the cruelty of war.

The most intuitive impact is a large number of store closures.

In addition, the Suez Canal has not yet been repaired, and British prices have also risen sharply.

But the wages are still those, and they can't keep up with the prices.

And because of the war, many stores closed down, causing unemployment to soar.

Wizarding society is completely caught in a vicious circle.

The black market is thriving.

Voldemort's subordinates are basically pure blood wizards.

Many families have a lot of resources that can be invested in the black market.

This wave is good for them.

Everyone thought that the strategic intention of the Death Eaters was to disrupt the people's livelihood system dominated by the Ministry of Magic.

But few people have noticed... At the same time that Diagon Alley was attacked, two wizards also disappeared.

One person is naturally the famous master cane maker-Ollivander.

But his disappearance was identified by more wizards as fear of Death Eaters, and then fled Diagon Alley.

Because there were no signs of fighting in the store, and a rest sign was hung on the door.

The second was Florin Fusco, owner of an ice cream shop in Diagon Alley.

There are more wizards who have witnessed this incident.

At that time, Fusco resisted fiercely, but was captured by Death Eaters before the Aurors arrived.

Even the wizard who sold ice cream was captured.

For a while, everyone was in danger!
……

……

Diagon Alley,
Inside Akali's mysterious shop.

After knowing the attack, William rushed to his shop as soon as possible.

There are losses, but not serious.Especially the twins and Cedric Zhi organized a wave of counterattacks.

After William finished the inspection, he was also very surprised to hear the report from Cedric and the twins.

"Mr. Ollivander must have been arrested." Cedric said with certainty.

"I was recently decorating a store, and Mr. Ollivander gave me guidance for a period of time, and said that he planned to work for another ten years before retiring."

Good guy... In another ten years, Cedric's wand shop will probably go bankrupt long ago.

But Cedric didn't care about it, he insisted:
"I also went to Mr. Ollivander's house, but there was no one there. He was definitely taken away by Death Eaters."

Cedric had been an apprentice in Ollivander's shop for seven years, and had a close relationship with the old man.

His words can naturally be used as evidence to prove that Ollivander's disappearance...is an abnormal disappearance.

George whispered:
"Perhaps the Death Eaters took Ollivander away to prevent him from making wands."

The wand is equivalent to the arms of the wizarding world, and Ollivander is the largest arms supplier.

Taking him away can indeed effectively cut off the source of "arms" in the magic world.

but……

The Death Eaters captured Ollivander, and William could understand why they wanted to capture the owner of the ice cream shop?

William rubbed the center of his brows, he couldn't tear his sister apart.

What on earth was Voldemort trying to do... He couldn't catch Florin Fusco, was he to make ice cream for him?
However, this Death Eater attack was not completely useless.

William finally had the opportunity to make a bargain hunt on the surrounding shops.

The shops in Diagon Alley have always been very expensive, and it can be said that every inch of money is very expensive.

In peacetime, no matter how much you pay, you will not be able to buy it, and you can only rent a house at a high price.

But now you can enter the market at a super low price.

the reason is simple:
The last wizarding war lasted for ten years. At that time, many shops could not sustain it and had to close their doors in the end.

This war is fierce. With the experience of last time, many people want to cash out and run away.

Not to mention, with the outbreak of the attack, everyone found that opening a shop in Diagon Alley was life-threatening.

Fred took the document and said:
"Recently we have acquired four stores, and Tom is also contacting us when we hear that we are going to buy a store."

"Does Tom want to sell the leaky cauldron?" William asked in surprise.

When he first came to Diagon Alley, he coveted the Leaky Cauldron and wanted to turn it into the Leaky Cauldron.

"Not really." George shook his head. "Tom has seven or eight stores that are eager to change hands."

Well...the mediocre Tom runs a small bar all day long...I didn't expect to have so many real estate behind his back.

The clown is me!
"Consult with Tom, but don't buy it immediately." William thought for a while and said:
"The war is going on for a long time, and we have plenty of time to drive down prices."

Although William is not short of money, he is absolutely unwilling to be taken advantage of.

At this moment, Qiu poked his head out, glared at the four of them, and complained:

"You guys have been chatting behind for an hour, come to the front desk quickly, there are so many people!
And Cedric, someone buys a wand!

It's an old aunt!Calling for you! "

Cedric agreed and hurried out.

After Ollivander disappeared, the one who benefited the most was Cedric, who had just opened a wand shop.

As long as Ollivander is around, he will inevitably monopolize most of the British market.

Now that Ollivander is missing, everyone has to buy wands, and the market share is vacant.

Many people are even afraid that they will not be able to buy them in the future, and want to buy a few more at a time.

Cedric's wand shop opened just in time.

If he hadn't known Cedric, William would have suspected that he had kidnapped Ollivander.

Seeing Cedric go out, William and the twins followed to see what kind of "old aunt" she was.

It is not accurate to say that it is the old aunt.

It's just a witch in her 40s, who asked Cedric to go to her house to make a wand as soon as she asked.

This is not to match the wand, to experience the touch of the "magic wand", it's almost the same.

Qiu pointed to the wall indifferently, and there was an announcement on it:
Door-to-door service is not provided!

The old aunt was a little disappointed, and then accidentally caught a glimpse of William who pushed the door out, her eyes lit up, and she obviously recognized who he was.

Then, pretending not to know each other, he asked William to take her to the changing room to measure her size.

The kind that is measured with bare hands... According to the old aunt, this ancient method produces a wand size that is more ergonomic.

William is also feeling...why is it so high-class when it is obviously a serious arms business.
