Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 236 I can recognize it even if it turns to ashes
The changes that Ted has brought to the wizarding world have gradually become apparent.

The biggest change is undoubtedly Xianyuzhijia and Xianyu.com. The storefront is only the size of a palm, but it is packed with customers.

The information and exchange of magic items brought by Xianyu.com have brought a bit of life to Diagon Alley.

If someone special were to do the statistics, they would find that the GDP of Diagon Alley has increased by 25% in the past two months!

Many stores have found that business seems to be better, but they do not realize that this is the traffic brought by Xianyuzhijia.

But the one that had a bigger reaction than Diagon Alley was Knockturn Alley!

In the world, those who react most quickly to many changes are often those in the gray area between black and white.

They are well-informed, have a keen sense of smell, and are very adaptable to changes.

The flow of people brought by Salted Fish House not only benefits the merchants in Diagon Alley, but also radiates to Knockturn Alley not far away.

Not all wizards in Knockturn Alley are dark wizards, but it is a gray area, and many things sold there are not common in the market, not so formal, and hard to say whether they are legal or not.

Because grey was not legal, but needed, it was a place that Aurors and strikers would not touch.

Because of this convenience, there is also black hidden underneath the gray.

Not to mention all kinds of contraband, before the start of school last year, there was even a case of smuggling alien intelligent creatures, which resulted in a rampage and a killing spree~
The Ministry of Magic did a raid that time, but that was it.

Aren’t those shops still there? Aren’t those owners still alive and well?

Business has to go on.

And because of the large flow of people, it attracted more buyers and sellers.

The benefits received by Knockturn Alley were several times greater than those received by Diagon Alley.

In just these two months, he has become famous.

Even dark wizards from France and Germany come here to sell their products, or buy things they need but are not allowed to be sold on the market.

This also resulted in many things that were not seen in the past, such as the head.

Ted has to find out what this thing is.

We can’t ignore this matter!

Since I have a head in my hand, it is much easier to find someone.

Although those who work in the black market have some skills in hiding and anti-tracking, they are not good enough in front of Ted.

Not only can he tell fortunes, he can also use his psychic powers to show traces in the air.

Ted followed a pale yellow line that no one else could see.

When they arrived near Knockturn Alley, Ted found a corner, cast an invisibility spell, and began to change his appearance.

Normal wizards cannot change themselves, that is a very advanced form of transfiguration.

Ted's Transfiguration wasn't at that level, but he could use his psionic powers to disguise himself.

A few seconds later, a tall, thin, white young wizard in his twenties walked into Knockturn Alley.

……

Sherman is a middleman, he is a wizard from Eastern Europe.

Originally, his business was good and his family was happy. But the sudden collapse of the bear caught everyone off guard, including the wizards.

In Maoxiong, wizards are directly led by the Red Magic Council.

But the sudden collapse of the upper layer caused everything to go haywire, including the wizards.

There was chaos in Eastern Europe for a whole year, and many wizards died as a result.

There was even a group of werewolves who took the opportunity to bite Muggles and wizards in the local area. Because the organization had completely disintegrated, everyone was busy escaping or hiding, and could not organize themselves, allowing these werewolves to wreak havoc.

It has finally calmed down a bit, but the situation has completely changed.

Sherman's previous business routes were completely destroyed.

The source of goods is gone, the route is gone, the channel is gone, and the buyer is gone!

He had to travel to the Far East in person, and even encountered several dangers, before he received a batch of things from a group of dealers who specialized in smuggling oriental magic items.

But people are worthless when they leave their hometown. Now that the Russian bear has collapsed, these wizards have become homeless stray dogs.

As a result, the price of the goods in Sherman's hands was severely suppressed.

I risked my life to get something, but in the end, I could only buy a month's worth of bread? I even had to think for several days before I could eat a piece of meat. Why?!

Sherman gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and ran to the British Isles.

I've been to the Far East, so there's nothing to worry about if I go a little further west.

But what can I say? All crows are black.

Are the villains of Great Britain noble in character?
The same price cut!
But it's more or less acceptable.

Because they were asking for the price of a stranger, not a homeless stray dog. However, Sherman was very optimistic about a ceramic head but failed to sell it.

They refused to accept it, saying that they didn't feel the magic power and it was worthless. They only bought other stone and jade figurines.

After all, Sherman brought it from afar and spent a lot of money on it, so he was unwilling to just throw it away.

I heard that there is a website called Xianyu, where it is very easy to sell things and you can find buyers for any strange or exotic item, so I gave it a try.

Now, it fell into Ted's hands.

……

At this time, Sherman stared blankly ahead with his eyes, his pupils out of focus.

There was a hand on his head, it was Ted in disguise.

Ted sneaked in silently and subdued the guy, then used language and telepathy to guide his memories, and then found out the origin and destination of the Terracotta Warriors.

It turns out there are three terracotta warriors in total. The pottery one only has the head, the stone one is missing an arm, and the jade one is intact.

The last two were taken away by Bogin and Burke.

"Hey, don't you think this is a coincidence?"

As Ted muttered, he began to erase some of Sherman's memories.

There's nothing wrong with being a middleman, he can support his family. But don't go to the East, blur the line for him.

Although I don't have the ability to stop this behavior in my hometown, I can still make some contribution.

Borgin and Burke's shop, we need to make some preparations.

Last time, Ansu took advantage of the chaos to add fuel to his business, and since then the defense level there has been increased.

An Su looked at it secretly several times, but was not sure.

We have to be prepared this time.

Ted erased all traces of his presence, put the middleman Sherman back on the chair, and asked him to lie on the desk so that he would think he had fallen asleep accidentally.

Then Ted left...

He dismissed a few old witches who, because of his youth, recommended forbidden potions to him.

It's obvious that those potions are of rubbish. They're just going to slaughter fat pigs!
Besides, these medicines are addictive and drinking too much will harm your health.

There's actually an old witch trying to take advantage of us!

Holy shit! You’re old enough to be my grandma!

Ted just glared at the old witch who was trying to sell him illegal drugs and scared her away.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and eye contact is an excellent way to display psychic powers.

That is to say, considering that it was broad daylight, it was not appropriate to break the legs of these old witches directly, otherwise they would have to learn what it meant to be irreconcilable with gambling and drugs!
After leaving Knockturn Alley, Ted planned to find a place to change his appearance back. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and turned his head, and saw Hermione.

She wore a wizard robe and ran excitedly towards the Salted Fish House.

Could it be that school is about to start, so you’re here to do some shopping?
While Ted was still thinking, Hermione seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned her head to look over.

He first glanced at Ted, then turned around and continued walking. He seemed to feel something was wrong, so he turned back to look again. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, so he stopped with a frown.

Ted was still trying to find a corner when Hermione came over and asked carefully, "Ted?"

Ted used his psychic powers to change his voice: "What Ted? You got the wrong person!"

Hermione suddenly confirmed it and grabbed Ted's sleeve: "Are you still pretending in front of me?! I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"

The little lioness glared!

You know what, it really is Professor McGonagall's idea!
Professor McGonagall is known as Big Hermione!

"Hey, no, wait until I change it back." Ted quickly admitted his mistake.

……

After a while, the two sat down at the Salted Fish House.

"What are you doing dressed like this?"

"It's inconvenient to go out and buy something, you know."

"You better be careful, you're a celebrity now. If you get discovered, it will be very troublesome."

"I know, I know~" Ted agreed repeatedly, "By the way, what are you here for?"

"Ha, I'm here to buy something!" Hermione showed the money in her hand.

Five £10 notes!
"Huh! Did your dad win the lottery like Mr. Weasley?"

"What? School is about to start. Dad gave me money to buy myself a birthday present in advance."
