[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Chapter 30 A New Beginning

The next few days were uneventful for everyone.But Ah Yuan was worried about a serious problem. He had been depressed since he came back that night. Jiang Lin cared about it and found out that he saw a pet shop when he was taking a girl shopping. He thought of what Jiang Lin said that girls like plush. He bought a pet for the girl, but the girl happily opened it and found out that it was a long-legged hairy spider.

"I don't know why, Yunyun jumped up in fright when he opened the box, and threw things at me before he left." The boy blinked his eyes innocently, "But sister, didn't you say it would work?"

Jiang Lin felt that her head was big for a while, and she sighed: "Believe me, it's a miracle that you didn't get slapped." Afterwards, he educated the boy, and he realized that fluffy and cute are different .

She watched the boy go back to the room dejectedly, and then thought of the doll mask that Zhang Qiling gave her that night, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that Mr. Zhang is considered normal.

She returned to her room, picked up a map on the table and studied it carefully.

She had to find a possible wizarding point of contact quickly.

Suddenly a place name caught her attention.

Qinghefang.

There is a small piece of text next to it.

"Qinghefang Historic District - the most famous district in the history of Hangzhou, and the only well-preserved old district in Hangzhou. Its history originated in the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty established the capital of Hangzhou, built the Nine-mile Imperial City, and opened the Ten-mile Paradise Street. Many of Hangzhou Centuries-old shops are concentrated in this area. Qinghefang flourished in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and most of the existing ancient buildings in the block were built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with a strong cultural atmosphere and sense of history, and it is indeed a must-see area for Hangzhou tourism.” Note 1

She thought about it carefully, Qinghefang is a historic district, and the settlements of wizards are generally located in places with a long history. Before that, she complained a little about why the Ministry of Magic didn't move the contact point to a more remote and unobtrusive place, but Now she seems to understand a little bit.

Jiang Lin circled the place names, and then searched for their current locations, and found that the two places were still relatively far apart.It was the afternoon at this time, I hope Zhang Qiling has already rested.

She came downstairs with a map, stopped in front of a mottled wooden door, and then tapped on the door: "Zhang Qiling, it's me. Are you free now?"

After a while, the door was opened with a creak, and Zhang Qiling looked at her with a calm expression.She felt an inexplicable coercion, but she still bit the bullet.

"Are you free tonight?" Seeing the other party's gaze scanning the map in her hand, she picked it up and pointed, "I want to try this place."

"Not at night." The man glanced at the place name circled in red, and her heart tightened at this moment, and then the other party added: "Yes in the afternoon, are you ready to go now?"

Jiang Linxuan's heart was relieved, she thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go up and get something."

When she packed her wand and went downstairs, Zhang Qiling's room was still open, as if it hadn't been closed since she left.She knocked on the door, and the man was fiddling with something at the table, at this moment he said without raising his head, "Come in and close the door."

What to do

She closed the door hesitantly. Except for the night of the rally, this should be the second time they lived in the same room. Coincidentally, it was his room this time.She stood in the center of the room and looked around. The quilt and pillows on the bed were neatly arranged. There was nothing on the desk except for a few dark notebooks. There was a log-colored wardrobe against the wall, which was slightly larger than the one in her room. .There are no clothes or other things strewn about anywhere, everything seems to be organized.She looked back again, at this moment Zhang Qiling had already walked over with a small black cloth bag.

"You should still be a fugitive. The magic world probably has an arrest warrant or something, so you need to pretend." Zhang Qiling explained while pointing to the bed, "Sit down."

Jiang Lin was a little dazed. She realized this problem before and planned to cover her face with a hood, but Zhang Qiling's posture seems to be more appropriate now.But the bed?She walked over awkwardly, and then sat down stiffly, which was more embarrassing than letting the other party sleep on the sofa before.She had less contact with the opposite sex since she was a child, and she didn't have too many relationship issues because of her studies when she grew up, except for Professor He who has always treated her very well.Thinking of this, Professor He's face appeared in her mind, and a strange feeling swept over her.

She suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this time Zhang Qiling had already dragged the stool in front of the desk and sat down opposite, opened the small cloth bag and took out some unnamed bottles and jars and began to smear her face.Even when the man sat down, he was still taller than her, and she could only stare at his nose from her sight.Zhang Qiling's movements were very light, but he could feel that he was very good at controlling the strength in his hands. She turned her head following the slight deviation of the opponent, and applied some cool things on both sides of her eyebrows.The room was much quieter, only one or two birdsong could be faintly heard from outside.Jiang Lin was thinking that the other party's lips were quite soft, so he was lifted up by an upward force, and a pair of dark eyes appeared in front of his eyes. From this angle, he could even count the eyelashes on them.

too close.

She felt that the air around her suddenly became thinner, and her shoulders moved unnaturally, but Zhang Qiling continued to work seriously, as if he didn't notice her strangeness.The other party's gentle breath rushed to her face, and even her neck began to itch.Jiang Lin suddenly found that her face was a little flushed in the other's focused eyes, she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes.

Sure enough, I was still too nervous.

She doesn't have a boyfriend yet.This man is simply her nemesis.

Jiang Lin lamented in his heart.

After a while, finally there was no touch on the face, only Zhang Qiling said: "Okay."

She opened her eyes and grabbed a small mirror at her hand to take a look. In front of her was a 35-year-old woman. Her fair skin had turned yellow and dry. She blinked and almost couldn't recognize herself. .

"It's amazing, is this the disguise technique you mentioned?" Jiang Lin exclaimed in amazement.

Zhang Qiling packed the things in his hand, nodded slightly, feeling not very relieved.She didn't notice the other party's reaction, but stood up and continued to look around in the mirror, touching her eyebrows from time to time.This feeling is very novel, she has only been exposed to the deformation principle of potion, but now this sense of reality is completely different from potion.No wonder some wizarding families still admire some of their technologies even though they have less contact with Muggles.

She put down the mirror, only to see that Zhang Qiling had already put on his coat and was waiting at the door.She quickly followed, and the two of them came downstairs and got in the car before, without talking all the way.After about four or ten minutes, they came to a commercial street. After the car stopped, Jiang Lin got out of the car, picked up the map and looked carefully, followed the address above and walked for another seven or eight minutes before arriving at Qinghefang.As expected in the introduction, there are a lot of people coming and going. The mahogany signboards on both sides of the street and the wood carvings that can be seen everywhere are very beautiful, and there is a strong cultural atmosphere.She watched intently, for fear of missing a detail, but the shops on both sides were still ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.Just when she felt that she was going to get nothing again, a cold drink shop at the end of the street attracted her attention. Unlike other shops, this shop did not use a red painted signboard, but hung a stripped black wooden board with crooked "Tuohe drink" is written on the ground, and there is a small symbol next to it, which is the rune "magic".No one seemed to notice this small and dilapidated shop, and no one came in or out.

She looked at Zhang Qiling beside her, and then said, "Thank you for sending me here, I'll go in and have a look, why don't you go back first." She put on her hood, took a deep breath, and pushed away the mottled door. old wooden door.

A string of melodious wind chimes sounded, and she followed the sound. There were several strings of simple bells hanging on the porch. At this moment, the long colored ribbon was touched by the door, making a crisp sound.She then walked in, and it turned out that this was a very plainly furnished beverage shop, with a dozen or so small tables sparsely seated by a few young men and women.There is a crystal ball in front of a gray-haired woman. She is holding a brass magnifying glass in her hand. The notebook is brushing and moving.It seems that she found the right place this time, she thought excitedly, then walked towards the counter inside, a middle-aged uncle was drinking water, behind him was a large wooden shelf, which was filled with all kinds of bottle, a rag automatically wipes the wooden stand up and down.

"Sorry to bother you," she said politely, "How can I get to Wizard Street here?"

The uncle put down the big water glass, looked up and down and replied: "First time to Lin'an?"

"Yes." She nodded, and suddenly saw a poster on the wall behind him, showing a familiar and delicate girl.

Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to ask calmly, "Who is that?" She pointed at the poster.

The uncle looked at the past, then turned his head and explained: "This is a dark wizard who was caught recently. She pretended to be another witch and participated in the attack on Chen Cang's summer gathering. She also held a witness hostage during the trial. Fortunately, I caught it—I can’t see that a little girl can do such a thing. But that witch named Lin is miserable, and now I don’t know whether she is dead or alive.”

Jiang Lin nodded with difficulty. She knew the girl on the poster. She was the former Auror team member. They were assigned to patrol at the same time during the rally.She only remembered that the other party was usually a little introverted and didn't talk much.How did he become a dark wizard later?And what did they say about the trial?Doesn't that speak for herself?

"You go out through the back door here, and you can see Wizard Street by pointing your wand on a printed tile on the back wall." Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, the uncle told her the entrance.

She nodded in thanks, then walked through a black curtain and tapped the tile as the uncle said.The original gray brick wall disappeared, and a stone door appeared. After she stepped out, she came to a bustling street.Wizards and wizards in various robes kept coming and going, and occasionally one or two people in Muggle costumes followed the wizards and looked curiously at the shops on both sides.She walked down the flow of people, and then entered a side alley with few people. She paid close attention to the dilapidated signs in the dark alleyway, and finally stopped at a pawn shop.

A quarter of an hour later she walked out of the shop with a heavy bag in her pocket.Jiang Lin used the money from selling the wand to a small wand shop to buy a wand for himself. The core of the wand was the nerve of a dragon, but the material was replaced with plum wood.Holding the new wand, she just felt a familiar sense of comfort from the connection to her heart, and now she no longer wondered if the wand was in hand, maybe after a while her magic power weakened and the wand would need to be replaced?While her boss watched, she cast a Levitation Charm, and this time the stool stayed firmly in midair until she lowered her wand before slowly falling to the ground.She nodded with satisfaction, then asked the price.

"Three golden shells, ma'am. You are so lucky. This is the cheapest wand in the store, but its performance is by no means inferior to others." The boss said with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious.

She paid the money readily, and then paid a little attention to see if there were any shops recruiting people. After half an hour, she walked out of the dilapidated drink shop.There was no sign of Zhang Qiling around, so she probably left first. She touched the Muggle banknotes she had just exchanged in her pocket, thinking about which car to take back.Just when she walked to the side of the road and imitated other passers-by trying to hail a taxi, someone patted her on the shoulder.Jiang Lin turned his head and saw a familiar face, those eyes were looking at him calmly.

Speechless all the way.

The two quickly returned to the residence. She wanted to continue upstairs, but was stopped by Zhang Qiling on the way. She didn't realize that there was makeup on her face until the other party took out the black bag again.This time she got used to the other person's movements a little bit, but still closed her eyes tightly, as if time would pass faster this way.

Originally, he had only been away for two years, but when Yao Hui set foot on the familiar land again, he was still very touched.Too many things happened during this period, and it happened that she could take this opportunity to make adjustments.Yao Hui stretched her arms in front of the window. She was a little tired after reading the materials all morning.After two days of rest, her father handed her a document asking her to participate in Lin'an's pharmacy plan.The Yao family didn't restrict the development of the younger generation. This time, Yao Hui came back after studying, so he could practice on this matter.Outside the window is a yellow peony in full bloom. After being enchanted, it can bloom even in autumn and winter. The lively tender yellow flowers are particularly eye-catching.She somehow thought of Lin Ci - that lively girl.She only learned from the newspaper two days ago that Lin Ci was attacked by another black wizard, and that what happened at the previous rally was also blamed. Although the real suspect has been arrested now, Lin Ci's whereabouts are still unknown.After she got the news, she contacted Jiang Yu immediately, but her friend's reaction was relatively flat.In fact, she still likes that girl very much, but Lin Ci has too many secrets, and she even has a feeling that the other party does not belong to this world.

She looked at the documents on the table again, planning to go to Lin'an in two days.
