The man behind Hogwarts

"Are you two here to attend the rally?"

"Yes."

"What are your code names?"

"Lord of the Void" and "Void Walker" answered one after another.

The guard took out a board, wrote the two people's names on it, and then asked: "It turns out that this is your first time to attend the Steining Wizards' Gathering. Do you have an invitation letter?"

William shook his head.

When they came, they had agreed that since this gathering did not require any tokens, they would not use invitation letters and could attend anyway;

If you use an invitation letter, it might involve troublesome things like treasure-hunting merchants, Elijah, and ancient magic.

The guard did not ask any more questions, but took out two leaves and handed them to the two of them, "This is your identity certificate."

The texture of the leaves is like cloth, with their code names written on them.

"You cannot attack others in the market, and you cannot use magic to pry into other people's privacy. If you need a magic duel, you can go to the duel platform in the middle..."

Perhaps because they were newcomers, the guard told them some precautions.

Entering the gathering, one immediately heard a lot of subtle chatter.

Some wizards set up stalls on the spot, with a square towel, a cushion, and some magic supplies randomly placed on the square towel, and they became a stall owner.

Some wizards also built wooden sheds, wooden houses, display stands...

"Would you like to find a place to stay first?" William looked around and didn't seem to see any building like a hotel.

Crohn pointed to the open space at the edge of the valley: "This place is not as good as Diagon Alley. Wizards can only solve the problem of rest by themselves. Generally, they can build a room to rest on the edge."

Looking over there, I saw some cabins.

Just like a forest ranger's cabin, it actually looks a bit cute.

Walking towards the center of the valley, you can see many wizards wandering around, and some wizards squatting in front of stalls to bargain.

"Is this the feces of Yue Chimon?"

"That's right, I just collected it today. If you need it, hurry up. I don't have good storage equipment, and some of its use will be lost after sunrise."

"how much is it?"

"I have about 50 grams here, three galleons will do."

The wizard who asked the price thought for a moment and asked softly: "How about making it cheaper?"

The vendor shook his head.

William saw that the vendor did not cover his face, but was only wearing a white robe, revealing his old face.

And it wasn't just this vendor. Most of the vendors he saw along the way, including the wizard who opened a small shop, did not cover their faces. Instead, wizards like him who came to buy things covered themselves tightly. Reality.

The wizard who asked the price didn't buy it after all, stood up and left.

William asked Crohn: "Is this price expensive or cheap?"

"It should be slightly cheaper. I've bought it elsewhere before."

William understood.

Since he entered the magical world, he has only walked around Diagon Alley, and he still doesn't know much about the prices of wizards' goods;

But he knew about the 'Moon Chi Beast'.

The Moon Crazy Beast is a kind of magical beast with a danger level of 'XX'. They are shy in character and cute in appearance.

Their skin is smooth and light gray, with four slender legs and four large flat feet underneath; there is also a pair of bulging eyes on the top of their heads.

The most amazing thing is their poop.

If their excrement can be collected before sunrise, it can be used as fertilizer and can be effective on magical plants.

William became interested and wondered whether feces could be considered a part of the body of magical creatures.

"Three galleons, I want it."

He took out three galleons and handed them to the stall owner. Without saying much, the stall owner packed the feces in a wooden box and put the wooden box on the ground for him to take.

I picked up the wooden box, opened it and took a look. I found that the feces were all in lumps, a bit like mud lumps.

Then I looked at the stall owner's other products. Most of them were various herbs and magic raw materials.

……

After shopping for more than half an hour, the two briefly walked around the market. Unfortunately, because it was night, only one-third of the shops were open and there were not many stalls.

"Let's rest first and go shopping tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll build a house."

"Let's go together."

Using magic spells, he easily built a hut and prepared to spend the night there.

William looked at the wood and smiled. Unexpectedly, the wizards were really hard-working. If he was alone, he could go directly to the Yuanwang Hotel to rest.

Just as he was about to enter the house to rest, he found that a dozen black-robed wizards suddenly came in at the entrance of the valley.

Wearing similar clothes, they walked quickly into the valley as if drifting. When passing in front of William, William saw a ferocious face from under a man's hood.

It seemed that there was also a faint smell of blood.

William watched them leave quietly, frowning slightly, and found that the vendor on the left happened to be the one selling his Moon-Crazy beast's excrement, so he walked closer.

"Those people who passed by just now didn't look like lone wizards. They were quite scary."

The stall owner shrugged, "Who knows, these people have been coming in and out since the first day the market opened here. They have to go in and out several times a day. Anyway, they neither sell nor buy anything."

Not buying or selling?

William's brows furrowed even deeper. If he doesn't buy or sell, why do he still come in and out every day...

Could it be...that he was doing business without capital?

"How long have you been setting up a stall in this market?" This vendor seems to be an old vendor, so I might as well ask.

"You mean Steyning Market? Hey, come as soon as the market opens. If you're here this month, where will you go next month? It's not certain anyway. After all, I have to have one here. how many years."

"No wonder you buy so many things here, it's amazing."

He said a little compliment, and then asked sideways: "You have been here for so many years, have you ever seen anything like this?"

The stall owner stopped talking this time and gave William a meaningful look.

"Want to get some information? Get money!"

William smiled and held a Galleung between his two fingers: "First tell me how much information you know. If everyone knows the content, I won't buy it."

The stall owner curled his lips confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely have news that will satisfy you."

Seeing how confident he was, William simply threw the galleons to him.

The stall owner then whispered: "I have been in this market for several years, and I have only seen this kind of situation once. It was two years ago. At a gathering that year, this kind of unknown origin also appeared. Wizard, I heard that something big happened that time, and even the Ministry of Magic was alerted, and many Aurors came."

"What exactly happened?"

"People are dead, many wizards are dead!" The stall owner whispered even more: "Later I heard that some wizard organization was causing trouble, and it may also involve foreign wizards..."
