Admiral of Hogwarts

Ten minutes later, Hugo and Hermione appeared on the road to the Liliuokalani Market in Hawaii, which is mainly used for trading by local wizards. At this time, while they were eating ice cream sprinkled with various chopped nuts, they curiously looked at the open shops on both sides of the road.

When they arrived here just now, they discovered that there was a danger, please do not enter sign in the jungle outside the building. When Mrs. Granger was approaching the jungle, she suddenly said that she suddenly felt that the family's passports were not in their bag, so she needed to go back to the hotel to check.

"Mom, there is no need to worry. I think our things are not lost." After being dragged out by his mother for more than ten meters, Hugo said, "The place just now was actually a wizard market, and the surrounding area was surrounded by Muggle expulsion spells. No. Anyone who knows magic will leave thinking of something very important just by being near that place.”

After the matter was explained clearly, Mrs. Granger still felt a little uneasy. So she gave Hugo and the others a few words and then returned to the hotel to check their passports, while Hugo and his sister went to the market where people seemed to be coming in and out all the time.

Not like the one in the travel brochures at this market on Hawaii’s largest island. Because this area belongs to the locals, the buildings on both sides of the street are mainly in the tropical island style with wooden walls and straw huts, but there are also many oriental buildings and European-style buildings mixed in.

The various buildings in the entire market, coupled with the colorful flags and ribbons of various colors around it, make the entire market not look too cluttered, but very lively.

As an important transit station on the Pacific Ocean, the items sold in the shop naturally come from various countries. For example, Hugo and the others saw that except for some obviously tropical-style goods in the display window, most of the goods here came from countries along the Pacific coast.

For example, Hugo saw various items from China, Japan, Southeast Asia and the United States. So naturally they purchased some travel souvenirs here to bring to their friends.

Fortunately, they had exchanged a batch of local currency Zhuoguo when they went through the formalities at MACUSA, so there was no need to waste time going to the Gringotts Wizarding Bank under the steeple building they just saw from a distance.

After some selection, the two people bought several wooden pendants and ornaments with local-style sculptures and some tropical-style bead strings at the market. According to the merchants, these things are lucky items that can make the wearer lucky.

Of course, Hugo did not believe what these businessmen said. Because he knows that this place is full of all kinds of fake and shoddy products just like the tourist attractions in the ordinary people's world. For example, they saw five or six silver cups that were said to be used by Isolthel, the founder of Ilvermorny.

If it were just like this, Hugo wouldn't think there was any problem, but the five stalls within a short distance of less than 20 meters all displayed the same silver cups that were obviously shipped from the same place, and they insisted on saying that they were Isossel. It's really insulting to people's intelligence.

Fortunately, this place is different from Diagon Alley, so you can bargain. So after the zero was halved, Hugo still bought a silver tea set for the price of three Zhuoguo gold coins, which was said to have been used by the founder of Ilvermorny.

This tea set is a very common four-piece set. In addition to the silver teapot, there is also a sugar bowl, a milk jug and a tray. Each piece of silverware is embossed with various exquisite patterns.

"Why did you buy this?" Hermione finally couldn't help but ask after watching Hugo stuffing the silver tea set into a cloth bag he carried with him and leaving the stall with a smile on his face. "These things look dark and have a layer of dust on them. To be honest, they don't look good at all. At least in my opinion, they are not as good-looking as the small decorations I bought."

As she spoke, Hermione raised her hand to show Hugo a beautiful little bracelet that she had brought to her right hand. "Look, this string of beads includes ceramic beads from China, lacquered wood beads produced in Japan, art flowers from the United States, glass beads and local small wooden beads carved into the shape of human faces. They are so beautiful."

"Of course, of course, you have good taste." Hugo praised quickly, and then said close to his sister's ear, "Of course I know that this set of silver tea sets is not pretty, but they should be some very special ones. A valuable antique.”

"Valuable antiques." Hermione curiously took the cloth bag and looked inside it. After looking at it for a long time, she couldn't see anything special. "Why can't I see the value you mentioned?"

"Look here." Upon hearing Hermione's question, Hugo immediately took out the silver sugar bowl in the tea set from his pocket. Then he turned the tea can over and pointed at the row of stamps at the bottom.

"There are five stamps here. The one on the far left is the tax stamp of George III in 1785, the second f represents 1785, and the third anchor represents that the silverware was produced in Birmingham, England. The fourth The first lion represents that this is a pure silverware of silver, and the fifth wh represents the initials of the craftsman who made this silverware, but I don’t know who it is.”

"The five stamps on these four tea sets are exactly the same, and they look very fine in workmanship. They should belong to the artistic masterpieces of those high-level craftsmen. In other words, I only spent the equivalent of 15 pounds to buy these. A very complete and beautiful looking set of antique silver, so I say I made a killing this time.”

"It does sound impressive." Hermione said, looking at Hugo from top to bottom, and then said. "But there's one thing I'm curious about, and that's how you figured out that this thing is an antique. I don't remember our family having such books or knowing anyone who knows anything about this kind of thing."

"Uh." When Hermione said this, Hugo suddenly realized that as twins, he and Hermione had almost the same life trajectory, so many things could not be explained away with just a few words.

But he really couldn't tell Hermione the truth, because this thing was not chosen by him at all, but by Shengli who had hidden his figure and followed him beside him at this time. As a standard royal lady, she is not only good at brewing black tea, but also good at appreciating various tea sets. Therefore, it was easy to recognize the value of this silver tea set. And Hugo just repeated her words.

"This is what I saw accidentally when I went to the library once." Hugo, who had no choice but to say this, could only say this. “Fortunately I put this unexpected knowledge to use today.”

"Okay," Hermione said after staring at Hugo for a few seconds, then continued walking forward. Obviously, she did not believe what Hugo said just now, but she did not intend to get to the bottom of this matter out of trust in her brother.
