Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 503 Scar Eye Bar
Many Yingguo wizards have the same problems as Abbott. They are always conceited and immersed in past memories and glory. As a result, they are unwilling to face the world squarely and are unwilling to accept the fact that the former poor people have surpassed them.

But what is the reality? Only a small number of people are truly qualified to look down on American wizards!

Abbott obviously believed that he, Mike and others were qualified, so he kept instilling in Mike the idea that the United States was inferior to Britain.

But neither Mike nor Zhou Hong took his words too seriously.

They are not the kind of fools who are easily deceived. Instead of just listening to others' stories, they prefer to observe with their own eyes.

From what they observed, Square Street was obviously more advanced and more interesting than Diagon Alley!
This feeling was mainly reflected in the people coming and going. Unlike Diagon Alley, there were not only more people coming and going on Square Street, but also many non-human creatures among them. For example, when Abbott was holding Mike and talking, a group of centaurs passed in front of Zhou Hong.

They all had slicked back hair, wore neat suits, and even had their manes combed sleek and shiny, which was a huge difference from the centaurs in Hogwarts.

The most important thing is that their attitude was very humble. Zhou Hong was stunned when they passed by and kept staring at them. However, facing such rude behavior, they were not angry, but greeted Zhou Hong with a smile.

In addition, the human wizards' attire was also very strange, so strange that even Mike found it eye-catching.

Mike was serious about this. He originally thought that the dressing style of the wizards in Ying Country, who often wore their underwear outside, was weird enough, but he didn't expect that the wizards here were even more creative. Not only were the colors matched in a variety of colors, some people even ran out wrapped in a few vegetable leaves!

Of course, Mike, who was wrapping the vegetable leaves, understood him very well, because he was obviously a black shaman, and maybe this was their tradition, so Mike didn't say much.

But Mike really can't appreciate people who paint their faces like ghosts and wear all kinds of metal accessories on their bodies.

Even their existence caused Mike to have an illusion, because compared with those various non-human intelligent creatures, these wizards in strange costumes looked more like beasts!

Of course, there are still some people who dress normally. Among them, the ones who have the greatest influence on Mike are the female students from Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They all wear raspberry red robes and carry all kinds of beautiful bags in their hands, as if they have just come back from shopping.

Their robes were more fitted than those of Hogwarts, and the seams of their robes were not connected by the belts or buttons usually used in Hogwarts, but by a complex knot that looked like a ball of twine tangled together.

This made Mike very confused. Wouldn't it be troublesome for them to take off their clothes after tying such complicated knots?
Abbott, who was standing by, saw that Mike had been staring at the girls from Ifamoni, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said excitedly:
"Oh! They are students from Thunderbird Academy! If you are interested, go and chat with them. Girls like them who like adventure are the easiest to deal with, especially since you are young and rich."

Mac rolled his eyes at him and said nothing, but continued walking forward.

Abbott obviously misunderstood what Mike meant, and caught up with him and continued:
"Come on! This is the United States. Penelope won't know about this, and I won't tell anyone. You can relax."

Mike took a deep breath. He had just accompanied Abbott and Zhou Hong to visit eleven shops and bought a bunch of various thunderbirds, leopards and horned water snakes souvenirs, all kinds of clothes, and a lot of food with strange effects. To be honest, he was already feeling a little bored.

You have to know that he did not come to the United States for tourism. At present, the force represented by Chris is hiding in the dark and watching him. They may jump out and attack him at any time to reap the fruits of his victory. In this case, he really has no intention of accompanying Abbott shopping.

He stretched out his hand to interrupt Abbott and said seriously:

"Well, I think it's time for us to go back. I'm already getting antsy."

Mike's words were very direct. Abbott stared at Mike with his mouth open for a while, then he spread his hands and said:

"Okay, okay. I know you don't think this means anything, but I just want to put you at ease. No hard feelings. I'm sorry."

Abbott spoke sincerely, and Mike was somewhat moved. He reached out and wanted to pat Abbott's shoulder to comfort him.

But before his hand fell, Abbott changed his previous lost look and said to Mike excitedly:
"But there's another place you must visit! That place is really cool. This time I got the information about the Kent family there. I think you may have other things you can consult!"

Now it was Mike's turn to be stunned. Looking at Abbott's excited look, he wanted to refuse, but after hearing the second half of Abbott's words, he changed his mind.

Judging from the information Abbott brought, the place Abbott mentioned obviously has extremely strong capabilities in intelligence gathering.

So since the other party can get information about the Kent family, can they also get information about the Chris family?

The corners of Abbott's mouth curled up. As soon as he saw Mike's expression, he knew that the other party must be interested in the place he was talking about.

"Let's go, that place is not far from here, we can get there in 5 minutes."

"Okay... Then please lead the way."

The smile on Abbott's face became even brighter, and he walked in another direction with Mike and Zhou Hong, talking and laughing.

Abbott did not lie. Five minutes later, Mike and his two companions stopped at a somewhat shabby street.

Compared with the previous Square Street, this place is like a garbage dump. Not only are the road surface and walls in tatters, there are very few pedestrians on the street, and even an unpleasant smell is floating in the air.

Abbott seemed a little excited. He raised his eyebrows at Mike, then took the lead to step forward, open a rusty iron door and walked in.

Mike and Zhou Hong looked at each other, both of their faces full of suspicion, but in the end they followed.

As the creaking iron door was opened, a strange smell mixed with tobacco and cheap perfume and the sound of light music filled the air. Zhou Hong couldn't help but frown and cover his nose, while Mike took a deep breath.

He was very familiar with this smell, as he had smelled it often in his previous life.

At the same time, he roughly knew where Abbott brought them to. It was probably some bar or disco where prostitution was carried out.

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart. To be honest, after so many years in this world, he has never visited the magic world's medicine box.

Inside the iron door was a winding staircase going down. There was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the staircase at regular intervals. However, it was obviously not well maintained and many of the chandeliers were damaged, making the already poorly lit staircase even darker. However, with the remaining dim light, Mike could still clearly see a lot of dark and weird graffiti on the cracked walls on both sides of the staircase. There was also some garbage like cigarette butts and dust scattered on the steps, which looked very dirty.

But Mike and Zhou Hong certainly didn't have mysophobia. They followed Abbott downstairs, and as they walked further, the music around them became louder and louder.

Finally, when Abbott came to the end of the passage and pushed open another iron door, deafening music mixed with a strong strange smell came over him.

Fortunately, Mike and Zhou Hong had already gone through an adaptation process in the stairwell, so they didn't feel too much discomfort at the moment.

After passing through the iron door, a brand new space appeared before everyone.

Mike guessed correctly, there was indeed a bar inside. But it was not an old medieval bar like the Leaky Cauldron. The dazzling magic lights on the ceiling and the exciting music reminded Mike that this was a more modern bar.

However, unlike ordinary bars, the guests who gather here and sway to the music are of all kinds of races. Mike even saw a human wizard holding a heavily made-up female fairy and biting her fiercely in the corner. This eye-catching scene almost made Mike vomit out the sausage bread he had eaten in the morning.

After giving the older man with a strange taste a final look of awe, Mike finally looked away.

At this time, the arrival of the three of them also attracted some people's attention. Two short goblins in black robes suddenly came over and looked at Mike and the others vigilantly.

Seeing the people coming, Abbott stepped forward decisively, took out a broken horn of an unknown creature from his arms, shook it in front of the two fairies, and then said:
"Is Kled here?"

After seeing the broken horn, the two fairies changed their attitudes. Their originally straight waists immediately bent down, and they said one after another:

"The boss just came back and is drinking in the box now."

"Take us there."

After saying that, Abbott threw out two gold Galleons. The two fairies jumped up and accurately caught the gold coins. Then they smiled and made a gesture of invitation, saying:

"Dear guest, please follow us."

Abbott didn't say anything, but raised his head, snorted softly at the two goblins, and then walked forward.

Mike and Zhou Hong also didn't say anything and followed him silently.

A group of three people slowly walked into the bar. As they were led by the goblins through a locked iron door again, Mike realized that what he and others had seen before was only the outer perimeter of the bar, and what appeared in front of Mike now was the real bar.

As the inner area, the performances here are much more exciting, including humans, goblins, fairies, centaurs, mermaids, and veela...

Various women in revealing clothes were separated and locked in iron cages, twisting their bodies to the blasting music. A large number of spectators gathered around them, swaying with the movements of the women in the cages and throwing coins in from time to time.

Of course, the popularity of these girls in cages varies. The Veela in the center of the ballroom is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl here. She is surrounded by people. Many excited audiences even slap and shake the iron cage. This makes Mike realize that the iron cage may not be used to restrict the girl inside, but to protect her.

Mike and the other two were all people who had seen the world and had a certain ability to close their brains, so they were not bewitched by the exciting scenes in the venue. Instead, the fairies leading the way looked a little embarrassed, and their eyes were always focused on a female fairy in the corner with greedy looks.

After a while, the two goblins finally, at Abbot's urging, reluctantly led Mike and others into a hidden box.

The soundproofing effect of this private room is very good. As soon as you enter the room, the noisy music outside disappears completely.

But this does not mean that the box is quiet. In fact, it is even noisier inside than outside the box, because there is a fairy inside who is holding a huge lizard and cursing at it. The lizard is not afraid at all. On the contrary, it keeps talking back in a language that Mike can't understand at all.

And that goblin and lizard was none other than the lizard knight with road rage that Mike and the others had seen on the square street earlier!
The two fairies seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. They silently moved back a few steps, and after keeping a safe distance, they spoke carefully:
"Boss Kled, the person has been brought back."

It has to be said that these two goblins were foresighted, because as soon as they finished speaking, the lizard jumped out and bit the goblin who was speaking.

"Skarr!"

A sharp roar came from Klei's body, and then he grabbed the reins on the lizard Skarr's neck with one hand. The muscles in his arms flexed, and the huge lizard was pulled back by him.

"waste!"

Kled cursed angrily and punched the lizard Skarr on the head, knocking the latter unconscious.

The two goblins that escaped the disaster huddled in the corner of the box, looking at their boss with horror.

Mike and Zhou Hong remained silent, but Abbott seemed to be very familiar with Kled and laughed and said:

"Hahaha! Boss Kled, your temper is still as good as ever!"

Kelei rolled his eyes at him and said viciously:

"You sarcastic little white face! Tell me your purpose directly, or I will stuff your head into your py!"

The smile on Abbott's face froze, and he looked at Kled with a dangerous look without any expression, and finally said coldly:

"We are here to do business with you, big business!"
