Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Following the tracker, Anduin made his way through the Khala Black Market with a clear goal, but when he arrived at the building indicated by the tracker's final destination, he was slightly taken aback.

This book is first published on 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.

The building in front of him was square-shaped, with an onion-shaped roof in the middle, reminiscent of Arabian style, and two tall minarets on either side, looking like an ordinary Arabian mosque.

But what surprised Anduin was the sign above, this was indeed the Alchemy Research Center he was planning to visit later.

Could that 'Sphinx' also be an alchemist? And a member of the research center?

Anduin rechecked the tracker in his hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he thoughtfully walked into the ornately decorated building.

After entering the research center, Anduin was still shocked by the scene inside.

First of all, the interior of the research center had also been expanded with the 'Undetectable Extension Charm', making the interior area ridiculously large. At the same time, the marble gold-trimmed floors, the walls and ceilings covered with exquisite murals, and the golden oil lamps floating above as lighting all showed the luxury of the place, which could be described as richly ornamented.

"Damn, they're rich." In Anduin's eyes, there was more to the interior of the building than just what he could see. The magical runes that could be identified with the naked eye were densely arranged on the ground and walls. He had never seen anything so exaggerated even in the alchemy room of the Ministry of Magic.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A beautiful staff member in an Arabian robe took the initiative to greet Anduin. Beside her floated a hardened flying carpet, on which were placed seven or eight cups of drinks of various colors.

"I'm here to inquire about renting a market stall." Of course, Anduin couldn't say that he was here to find his enemy. While looking around as if admiring the scenery, he smiled gently at the staff member.

"I see. Please come with me. Feel free to have a drink." The staff member in charge of welcoming guests was very attentive and politely led Anduin to a place next to him, like a bank's VIP seating area.

Then a local wizard came to Anduin with a stack of documents.

"Hello, I am Ilkhan Heidrich from the Research Center. I am very happy to serve you. You don't look like a Cairo local wizard. Are you here to participate in this Alchemy Conference?" Ilkhan, who looked like a lobby manager, sized up Anduin and asked tentatively.

"Yes, I am a member of the British delegation. I want to rent a temporary stall in the market to see if my alchemy products are suitable for this market." Anduin replied fluently, but his eyes wandered around. His tracker's accuracy had been upgraded. If that Silver Spear appeared, he would still have a good chance to find him.

Although Anduin kept looking around, Ilkhan didn't find it strange. Many foreign wizards were amazed by the decoration inside the research center when they arrived, and it was normal to be curious.

However, he carefully recalled Anduin's words in his head. British? Selling alchemy props? Isn't Britain known as an alchemy desert? He only knew that there was an alchemist named Dumbledore in Britain, but he had never heard of any other alchemists in Britain.

But as a professional research center employee, he would not have any prejudice against customers, at least not on the surface.

"No problem, you only need to go through a simple registration procedure at the research center, and then you can apply. This International Alchemy Conference has special sales points for foreigners, including two types. One is located in the front and is relatively large, and the price is 3 Galleons a day. The other is about half the size of the former, located in the back, and the price is 1 Galleon a day," Ilkhan explained professionally.

3 Galleons a day just to rent a stall? Although Anduin was wealthy now, he retracted his gaze and looked at Ilkhan in surprise after hearing the price.

"Don't think it's expensive." Ilkhan saw Anduin's expression and knew what he was thinking, and immediately explained,

"The sales points we have specially arranged are in a very good location, right next to the main square. In addition, there are a lot of wizards traveling in Khala Black recently, both local and foreign."

"So in fact, many merchants will specifically choose this time to promote their national products. This is not just for Egypt, but a good opportunity to show the world's wizards, so although the price seems not low, there are still many people who rent it every day."

After hearing this, Anduin couldn't help but nod in agreement. Although he knew that the rent of 3 Galleons a day was definitely overpriced, and even a bit of a rip-off, it was still worth it if he could really take this opportunity to show his products to wizards all over the world.

After all, the flow of people he saw in the Khala Black Market this morning alone was quite dense, at least ten times more than Diagon Alley, so he nodded lightly.

"Okay, I want to rent a large stall, rent it for two days first, and I want it now." Anduin knew that the flow of people in Khala Black at night was even greater than during the day, and he didn't have much time to stay, so he didn't plan to consider the fact that renting now would lose him half a day's money.

"Okay." Ilkhan didn't expect this young man to be so generous, and immediately began to help Anduin with the formalities.

Just as Anduin was halfway through the formalities, his attention was suddenly attracted by a figure passing through the lobby not far away. At the same time, he specially checked the tracker in his hand to confirm the target.

"Ilkhan, do you know that person, the one wearing the black turban?" Anduin patted Ilkhan, who was helping him fill out the form, and pointed to the figure not far away.

Ilkhan raised his head to identify him, and then replied indifferently, "Oh, you're talking about Mr. Sebastian. He is the honorary chairman of the research center and a senior researcher in Charms. Do you know him?"

"Ah, he just looks a little familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere." Anduin replied casually, and then asked, "This Mr. Sebastian's surname is Sebastian? Is he a foreigner?"

"Yes, Mr. Sebastian seems to be originally from Germany, but he has been a researcher in Egypt for several years. He was awarded the title of Honorary Chairman by the research center because he restored three ancient spells. He is also a celebrity in the research center and a Charms expert," Ilkhan said casually.
