Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

at the same time.

Knockturn Alley, Borgin and Burkes.

"You're still the same here, nothing has changed." An unidentifiable figure, covered by a shabby black cloak, stood in the store. He turned slightly and quickly glanced around, then looked at Bo Jin in front of the counter, his voice hoarse. said.

Then the man made a movement and lowered his hood:

"Of course, your taste is just as bad."

"Is that your new magic item?"

In response, Bo Jin chuckled and said:

“The lack of change is not a good thing for me because it means I haven’t sold a single item recently and I haven’t collected new items.”

"As for this pair of monocles." As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the monocle on his right eye. "I acquired it from an unknown wizard. The wizard said that it can occasionally The wearer sees something that he wouldn’t normally see.”

The man sneered when he heard this, then responded to Bo Jin's first sentence and said:

"How do I know if you're hiding those truly precious items?"

Then he changed the subject and said:

"You seem to want to sell me that monocle?"

"I'm a businessman." Bo Jin replied with a smile on his face.

"It seems like you regret it?" the man said with a low smile.

"No, actually I quite like it, and this kind of thing is a fair bet. It's normal to lose once. What's there to regret?"

"Fair?" The man laughed sarcastically, "Why didn't I realize you had such eloquence before?"

Bo Jin adjusted his crystal monocle and smiled silently.

Seeing this, the man stopped his smile and said calmly:

"But you are bound to be disappointed, I won't buy a single thing here today."

"Just because you don't buy it this time doesn't mean you won't need it next time. Besides, I don't only do this kind of business here. Since you are standing here now, you won't be wasting our time." Bo Jin was not angry at all. He nodded and said.

"Haha." The man chuckled, "Your temper seems to have been suppressed a lot. It seems that the Ministry of Magic has been visiting here a lot recently."

Bo Jin replied with an unchanged smile:

"No matter what, I have a good relationship with those pure-blood families, and I have nothing to do with the 'Mysterious Man', so at least I won't be reduced to a street rat."

"The only ones who are really sad in life are you lonely ghosts."

The man remained silent.

Bo Jin didn't care and continued to talk to himself:

"Actually, I would like to thank the 'Mysterious Man'."

"The turmoil he caused affected too many people like you, forcing them to sell or buy some powerful magic items from me to survive or protect themselves."

"It's a pity that the guy who was forced to flee by the Ministry of Magic so quickly naturally doesn't have anything good in him."

"Therefore, I have only purchased one piece in the past month, which is this pair of monocles." Bo Jin held on to the monocle clamped in his eye socket.

"Not a single one was sold. After all, those people are so poor. Where can I get the gold galleons to buy my treasure?"

"Haha, having said that, I suddenly want to thank the Ministry of Magic."

"The Aurors they installed in Knockturn Alley became my strong protection, preventing those guys who don't always have their sense in their heads from taking the stupidest moves."

"Although doing that will not do any good except push themselves into hell faster, it may still cause a lot of losses and trouble to me."

At this time, the man in the cloak finally spoke again, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Belittling him in front of your customers is not the behavior of a qualified businessman."

Bo Jin glanced at him and responded with a smile:

"That's assuming that customer has other options."

The man was silent again after hearing this.

Bo Jin smiled and said:

"Actually, I knew your purpose from the first time you stepped into my store, because there are too many people like you recently."

"Well, for just one gold galleon, I can help you introduce him. It's not expensive, is it?"

"Then it's reasonable for me to want to confirm the accuracy of the news again, right?" The man's hood was lifted slightly, his right hand stretched out from the cloak, and he spread it flat. In his palm lay a somewhat dirty weapon. Gold galleons.

Upon seeing this, Bo Jin glanced at the bony palm and found that there were obvious traces of potion on it. He chuckled and stretched out his palm towards the man.

Immediately, the gold Galleons flew up from the man's palm and fell into Bo Jin's hands.

Bo Jin put away Jin Gallon, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:

"I am only responsible for introduction. If you want me to value your goods in advance, that will be another price."

"So, do you know why the Nott family is buying magic books?" The man asked instead.

Bo Jin thought for two seconds and said slowly:

"I just accept the entrustment and then act as a go-between. It's not my employer's business that I should ask more about."

"Of course, I have also heard some rumors that old Nott was doing it for his son, the young prophet-Amon Nott."

"Amon Nott?" the man said doubtfully, "according to his age, shouldn't he be studying at Hogwarts now?"

"Normally, this is indeed the case." Bo Jin nodded slightly, but did not go any further.

The man understood instantly and took out a gold galleon again and flicked it to Bo Jin.

Bo Jin grabbed it and said "Hey":

"I didn't expect you to be so willing."

"I just want to get the corresponding information so that I can make targeted sales." The man said without any fluctuation in his voice.

After Bo Jin looked at him with interest for two seconds, he withdrew his gaze and said:

"For the sake of the gold Galleons just now, I kindly remind you: Don't think about using some useless things as shoddy ones, or imagine using a book with simple content in exchange for gold galleons that are far more expensive. Long."

"Otherwise, those... guys recently hired by the Nott family will chew you up until there's no bones left!"

After saying that, Bo Jin saw the man's cloak rising and falling slightly.

So, he smiled and continued what he said before:

"Amon Nott seems to have been hurt due to the previous dark wizard incident at Hogwarts, and had to take a break from school and go home to recuperate."

"Old Nott is probably thinking about his son's future. He even seems to rarely go to his potion workshop now."

"Of course, the comeback of the 'Mysterious Man' is definitely an important factor that affects his energy."

Borgin explained as he led the man who seemed thoughtful toward the fireplace.

Finally, with the sound of green fire, the two figures disappeared into the store.
