Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 100 Value for money

"."

Hearing Charlie's blunt words without any concealment, the burly man named Katie finally changed his color.

"Boom"

He slowly placed the hookah on the old counter, making a muffled sound that was not so obvious.Most of the original smiling face disappeared from his face, leaving only a bit of reluctance.

"This." Katie frowned slightly, her voice pondering, as if she was thinking about the gains and losses of this business.

And Charlie was not in a hurry, seeing that the other party had to think for a while, he simply turned his head again and looked at the bottles and cans beside him that had been dusted for an unknown amount of time.With a bit of curiosity in his eyes, he bent down and began to carefully identify the vague labels on the can body, as if he wanted to find some interesting things.

Thanks to Charlie's solid knowledge accumulated in the Restricted Area during his studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Charlie can roughly recognize most of the things here.

I have to say that there are actually some good magic materials that can be found in seemingly ordinary bottles and jars.

While thinking, he carefully pulled out a glass jar filled with a cloudy green liquid from the bottom of the shelf.

Shaking the jar gently, one can vaguely see a shriveled horn with a spiral pattern being soaked in the turbid liquid.

Charlie frowned, and reached out to wipe off the stain on the label of the glass jar, so that he could see the text on it clearly.

Sure enough, as he expected.On the label, the text that looks like a spider crawling out is impressively marked "Unicorn Horn"

"You even have such a thing?"

He couldn't help turning his head away, watching Katie shaking the jar in front of the counter, with a bit of surprise in his tone.

"It's a private collection, not for sale, please put it back for me, please."

After thinking about it for a while, Katie seemed to have finally made some sort of decision.

The frown that was originally frowned relaxed a little, he sighed, and the expression on his face returned to the original smile again.

"There are no wands registered with the Magic Council, there are"

Hearing these words, Charlie, who was still watching around, finally looked away.He looked at Katie again, but he didn't speak, but raised his chin, motioning for the other party to continue talking.

"Five hundred gold Galleons!" Katie didn't talk too much nonsense, and she was the first to say a price directly.But after he finished speaking, he seemed afraid that Charlie would be scared off by the astonishing price, so he quickly added

"The five hundred Galleons are not just money to buy the wand. I will also take risks if I sell the wand to you. If the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic come to my side to interrogate me." Katie didn't say anything further. Go on.

He laughed twice and blinked his eyes

"You see what I mean?"

"of course."

Charlie spoke.He patted the dust on his clothes just now.He nodded naturally, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

"I've heard of your reputation."

He walked slowly to the counter, the ring on his finger flashed suddenly, and he put a heavy money bag into his palm.

"This five hundred Galleons, I believe it will be worth the money."

After finishing speaking, Charlie threw out the money bag in his hand at random, and it landed on the old counter with the crisp sound of Galleons colliding with each other.

"I just like dealing with a generous guest like you."

Katie was taken aback for a moment, and then the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

He continued to talk, without writing any more, bent down, and took out a crumpled cardboard box from the drawer under the counter.

With a sound of "Huh!", the floating dust all over it was blown away, and the cover was lifted, and a crooked, unattractive, even ugly wand appeared in front of the two of them.

"Come on, try your new wand!"

Katie enthusiastically pushed the box containing the wand forward.

However, looking at the wand in the box, Charlie couldn't help pursing his lips and frowning.For him who naturally likes beautiful things... using such a ridiculously ugly wand, it is obvious that his heart resists.

But considering the current basic situation, after hesitating for a moment, he reached for his wand and closed his eyes to try to establish a short-term connection with the other party.

"and many more."

Suddenly, Charlie's eyes opened, and the muscles on his face twitched a little bit. Looking at Katie with an innocent expression behind the counter, his expression became ugly.

"Five hundred Galleons. I don't ask you to use the tail hair of a unicorn or the sinews of a dragon to fill the core of your wand. You can give me one filled with the mane of a horse-shaped water monster." The giant monster's hair is a little too much, right?"

"There is no way you know how strict the Magic Council is on this investigation."

Katie explained with a sneer, and took two steps back calmly to prevent the man in front of him from throwing his wand in his face.

"." Charlie didn't speak anymore. After a long silence, he finally turned his head with his wand and walked towards the exit.

Just as he was about to go out, Charlie stopped.

He turned his head halfway, looking faintly at Katie behind him.

"I hope your after-sales service can really make me feel that the value for money is excellent."

Among the blind pigs, it was still as overcrowded as it was every night.

In this low and dirty bar, people of all levels and ranks mixed together, venting their inner pressure and desire wantonly, enjoying the long-lost pleasure and tenderness on the way to escape.

In the smoky and noisy bar, there are all kinds of characters gathered, whether it is a fugitive carrying a serious case, a businessman selling information, or even the remnants of the purgers who have disappeared in recent years, they all freely mixed in this
According to the widely circulated saying, "There are everyone in the Blind Pig Bar, except that there is no good one."

As the owner of the bar, the half-breed goblin Fildes slumped on a huge sofa with a wild smile on his face.He took a deep puff of the cigar held between his fingers, and looked around, as if admiring the "grand event" he had created.

Compared with his ancestor, Fields is undoubtedly much better.He has extraordinary cunning and ambition. After regaining the Blind Pig Bar a few years ago, he began to use his connections and wealth, spread all over the place, and opened up various relationships.This allowed the Blind Pig Bar to stay safe and unaffected even during the severe raids by the Magic Congress.It has truly become a default gray area of ​​no matter what, and it is more than 01:30 points stronger than the original blind pig bar!
It's a pity that what Fields doesn't know is that the kingdom he built with painstaking efforts will be destroyed tonight.
