Hogwarts: Blood of Alduin

"The Broken Ax Bar has arrived, wish you a pleasant journey!"

"Let's go and show you the wonder of magic!" Zheng Yuan said excitedly.Then Zheng Yuan pulled Bryce into the bar.

"New face, what would you like to order?" Tom, the bartender at the bar, asked.

"No, today I am taking this little wizard to Diagon Alley to buy items, but if you don't mind, you can give me a glass of Famous and wait until I finish shopping."

“Happy to serve Mr.”

Then Zheng Yuan took Bryce to a wall and said, "Watch it, I'll only teach you once." Zheng Yuan took out his wand and tapped on the wall three times, and then said, "Write down these positions, and then You did it yourself. Now stand back."

The wall suddenly cracked and a shopping street full of retro atmosphere appeared in front of you.

"Then the first stop in Diagon Alley is also the safest place besides Hogwarts, Gringotts."

Zheng Yuan led them to a towering white building. They passed through the shiny bronze door. Goblin guards in scarlet and gold uniforms stood at the door and bowed to them.

Then they came to the second door. The following words were engraved on the door: Come in, stranger, but you have to be careful. What will happen if you are greedy? Blindly asking for something for nothing will be punished severely, so if you want to Take from our underground vaults a fortune that was never yours, and you have been warned, O thief, to beware not of treasure but of retribution.

Through the second silver door and into the spacious marble hall, about a hundred goblins sat behind the long counter and registered hastily in the large ledger.

They came to the front of the hall and said to the old goblin, "Good morning, let's get some money from Blaise Alduin's safe."

"Do you have the key? Sir."

"Of course" Zheng Yuan said, taking out the golden key from his jacket pocket and handing it to the old goblin.

The goblin took the key and looked at it carefully, then said, "Let Griphook take you there," and then returned the key to Zheng Yuan.

"Please follow me two gentlemen."

Griphook greeted the two, and then led them to a narrow stone passage illuminated by burning torches.

The passage here is very steep and there are some small railway tracks on the ground.Griphook whistled, and soon a car drove towards them along the track.

When they all got on the car, it started suddenly. As the speed became faster and faster, the road became more and more wild. They finally arrived at the place, Vault No. 725.

When they got out of the car, Bryce vomited it out and said, "Can this thing really be done by humans?"

He weakly leaned against the wall and complained feebly. At this moment, Griphook opened the vault, and with the rotation of machine gears, the contents inside were revealed.

There was a dazzling golden light that made Bryce unable to open his eyes. Inside were piles of gold and silver coins and a large number of copper coins. "These are all yours." Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

Bryce didn't answer, because he was staring at the pile of golden coins with a look of infatuation on his face, and there was even a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Yuan was angry when he saw that Bryce didn't answer after calling him several times. He went up and slapped Bryce so hard that his nosebleed came out.

Zheng Yuan looked at him with hatred and said, "Look at your potential. With just this little money, your soul has been seduced. When you become an adult and get the rest of the family property, won't you die suddenly?"

Bryce was also a little embarrassed at this time. He lowered his head in shame, then suddenly looked up at Zheng Yuan as if he suddenly thought of something and said, "Since we are so rich, why do we still go to the streets to beg?"

Zheng Yuan felt a little guilty when he looked at him, but he still said bravely, "What do you know? I am doing this for your own good. There is an old saying in the East that God will give great responsibilities to people here, and they will have to work hard for their minds and muscles." , Do you understand if your body is hungry? Forget about it for now, just take the money and we are ready to leave."

In addition to Gringotts, they went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Partridge's Crucible, and Slug Giggs' Pharmacy along the way.

"Okay, you can go to the rest of the place by yourself. I think Tom must have been waiting impatiently." Zheng Yuan then left Diagon Alley and went to the Broken Ax Bar without looking back, leaving Bryce alone in the wind. Medium messy.

Bryce smiled helplessly and turned around and entered Madam Malkin's robe store.

"Welcome, new student at Hogwarts?" A short, fat witch in a purple wizard robe asked kindly in the store.

"Yes ma'am, I would like to customize the wizard's robes and clothing required by Hogwarts."

"Then please take your measurements first, and by the way, do you want something looser or more fitted?"

"As long as it's loose."

"Oh, of course." A tape measure flew out of Madam Malkin's pocket as she spoke. After measuring the data, the enchanted scissors and needle and thread began to quickly make the robe. It only took a moment for the robe to be ready.

After paying the money, Bryce went to the Magic Pet Store and bought an owl with a gift card and a snow-white baby snake.

Then we arrived at Ollivander’s Wand Shop, the last stop of our Diagon Alley tour.

As he entered the store, a bell jingled from somewhere in the back.The shop was very small, with nothing else but a bench, which made Bryce doubt whether the gold-painted plaque at the door was authentic.

"Good morning, little wizard." Just as he was wandering away, an old voice sounded from a row of shelves.

When Bryce turned around, he saw an old man standing behind the counter not far from him. His eyes were as eye-catching as the moon in the dimly lit store.

"Hello sir" Bryce replied obediently.

"Then sir, please tell me your name and your preferred arm," Ollivander said.

"My name is Blaise Alduin, and I am right-handed, Mr. Ollivander."

"Then Mr. Bryce, raise your arm." He took out a tape measure with silver scales from his clothes. The tape measure flew up by itself and began to measure his size.After the measurement, the tape measure flew back into Ollivander's pocket.

Then Ollivander took out a wand from behind and said, "Elm, try the eleven and one-half inch unicorn tail hair."

Bryce took the wand and tried it for a while, but then all the wands on the shelf were shaken down. Before Bryce could watch carefully, Ollivander grabbed the wand and replaced it with another one.

"Yewwood, fire dragon's heartstrings, one-tenth of an inch, try this."

Bryce waved again, and saw a huge fireball spurting out and hitting the pile of wands.

Fortunately, the wand was not affected.

Just when Ollivander was about to take back the wand, Bryce stopped. He protected the wand in his arms and looked at Ollivander with longing eyes and said, "I want this!"

"He is not suitable for you. The wand chooses wizard children." Ollivander refused.

"But this is what I want," Bryce said.

"No, you don't want to." After saying that, Ollivander took the wand directly.

Then he took out another one and said, "Goat wood, phoenix tail feathers, eleven and three-quarter inches, try it."

As expected, another explosion occurred, and Ollivander once again took back the wand under Bryce's eager eyes.

Then ash wood, apple wood, acacia wood, hawthorn wood, and finally bone wood were all taken out, but none of them were suitable.

Later, Ollivander discovered that it was not that the wand was unwilling to choose Bryce, but that every wand used by Bryce had cracks, but relatively speaking, the cracks were much smaller in wands with dragon heartstrings as the core.Thinking of this, he hesitated and took out the last wand made by his grandfather.

"The legendary dragon's horns and its heartstring are twelve inches long, indestructible, and an absolute combination. Legend has it that only the person chosen by the dragon can control it. Try this since your surname is Alduin, maybe you can." Ollie Vander said.

Bryce took the wand and waved it gently, and a red light suddenly appeared from the wand.

"This is it," Ollivander said excitedly.

"Twenty gold galleons, thank you for your patronage."

After Bryce paid the money, Ollivander threw him out without saying anything.

Then Bryce said helplessly, "Am I that terrible?" Then he went to the Broken Ax Bar and found Zheng Yuan, who was having a drink and chatting, and forcibly pulled him away.

"Did you buy the magic wand?" Zheng Yuan asked.

"The legendary dragon's horns and his heartstrings, twelve inches, indestructible, an absolute combination. So cool."

"Handsome, handsome, handsome" Zheng Yuan said perfunctorily and then walked towards the Broken Ax Bar again.

"You want to go drink?" Bryce asked.

"I booked two rooms, is it possible that you still want to sleep in a thatched house?" Zheng Yuan replied.

"By the way, you should learn more magic when you have nothing to do. Don't think that you can play now that it's summer vacation. The professors in the school are not as amiable as you think."

Without waiting for Bryce to answer, Zheng Yuan went straight to the bar and started drinking again.Bryce, on the other hand, cursed drunkard under his breath and returned to the room to start his study life.
