After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 118: Diagon Alley Cannot Be Entered

After the second interview, Dumbledore signaled to Zuko that he could go prepare for class first.

Logically speaking, the normal order of onboarding should be for a currently employed teacher to lead the new professor to learn the approximate map of the interior of Hogwarts - because whether it is the moving corridors or the mural doors that require passwords to open, they all bring some difficulties to normal life in Hogwarts.

But Chu Ke's employment time was too good, just the day before school started, so Dumbledore could only arrange for the Hogwarts house-elf to lead Chu Ke to find the way.

But Chu Ke refused, saying that he also needed to prepare for the class and he could just look at the map for the specific routes.

Back in his office, Chu Ke sniffed. The air was filled with the musty smell of old wooden buildings. To be honest, Chu Ke quite liked this smell.

Just like some people like the smell of exhaust gas and some people like the smell of kerosene, Chu Ke prefers this musty smell, the scent of grass after rain, and the scent of sulfur soap.

Chu Ke threw the staff in his hand casually, and after it disintegrated into basic force, he raised his right hand, and a ray of golden light flashed across his fingertips.

This was the gold Galleon he had just taken from Snape.

The Galleon is one of the currencies used by wizards in this world. It is mainly made of gold, followed by the Silver Sickle and the Copper Knut. As for the exchange rate, I won't talk about it. Those who know the exchange rate of British currency know it, and it is no different from answering questions.

Chu Ke lifted the gold Galleon up to his eyes and took a rough look at it. There were prominent relief patterns on the golden surface, a Q-version flying dragon printed on the front, and the profile of an old wizard on the back. There was also a string of anti-counterfeiting numbers on the side of the coin.

"Tsk, that's pretty advanced." Chu Ke made a small complaint.

If there were no such anti-counterfeiting numbers, Chu Ke would have been able to make a lot of them, but with the anti-counterfeiting numbers, it would be troublesome.

But it’s not a big problem. Zu Ke just happens to be going to Diagon Alley, so he can just exchange it with gold when the time comes. It’s just an extra step.

Chu Ke gently adjusted his collar, and in an instant his coat twisted and transformed into a gray-black robe, adapting to the local customs.

Then, accompanied by a buzzing sound, Zu Ke disappeared from the spot.

As for the anti-Apparition spell, that has no effect on Zu Ke.

With a distortion of space, Chu Ke appeared in a slightly dirty and messy small courtyard.

Next to the red brick wall, there was a trash can lying upside down, with flies flying around and emitting a sour stench. In the corner on the other side, there were dozens of wine bottles and some broken glass.

This is an extremely classic attraction in the Harry Potter world - the entrance to Diagon Alley and the backyard patio of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Let me see." Chu Ke approached the brick wall, and after finding a magic node, he pointed in the air. The next moment, countless red bricks began to rotate like sophisticated machines, gradually piecing together a large door. The noisy voices of people suddenly reached Chu Ke's ears, and what he saw was a strange street with people coming and going.

The reason why it is called a strange street is mainly because the buildings here are all crooked, as if they will collapse in the next second.

As expected, people will become lazy with magic. They don’t need any mechanical structure. The omnipotent magic can solve everything.

Just as Zu Ke was about to enter Diagon Alley, he suddenly paused and thought, then pointed lightly at the trash can in the corner.

A mysterious force gushed out, destroying the garbage in an instant, and then moved the trash can to another place without leaving a trace.

After doing all this, Zu Ke nodded with satisfaction and walked into Diagon Alley. Then the red bricks slowly closed as if nothing had happened.

Less than ten minutes after Chu Ke left, the back door of the Leaky Cauldron was pushed open, and two figures, one big and one small, squeezed in with difficulty.

The tall figure in front held a small red umbrella in his hand, had a long beard, and wore an oversized moleskin coat on his three-meter-tall body; following behind him was a messy black-haired boy with round glasses. His eyes were bright green, and a lightning-shaped scar could be vaguely seen between his hair. "This is Diagon Alley, Harry." The tall figure said.

The boy looked around first, then looked at the other person in confusion: "Hagrid, this is just a patio."

Hagrid smiled mysteriously, rubbed Harry Potter's head, and then said: "This is just its appearance."

"To enter the real Diagon Alley, some magic is needed."

Hagrid slowly walked to the trash can in the corner, then raised his little red umbrella and pointed at the bricks on it: "Remember this, Harry, count three from the front of this trash can, then count two across it, and finally tap it gently with your wand."

After that, Hagrid found the right position and tapped the red brick lightly with the tip of his umbrella.

Nothing happened.

"Hagrid, did you count wrong?" Harry reminded hesitantly.

"How is that possible?" Hagrid counted again in disbelief, and this time Harry saw clearly that he had not counted wrong.

Gently tap and still nothing happens.

Hagrid lowered his head and met Harry Potter's suspicious eyes. His old face couldn't help but blush: "How could I remember it wrong? It's been like this for so many years!"

After saying this, Hagrid hurriedly pushed open the back door of the Leaky Cauldron and shouted at the top of his voice, "Old Tom! Come over here and see!"

A moment later, a bald, hunchbacked old man looked at the wand in his hand with suspicion, and then returned to the Leaky Cauldron: "Hannah, come and help Grandpa!"

Half an hour later, the patio of the Leaky Cauldron was packed with people. Countless wizards dressed in various styles were using their own communication methods, casting spells or using alchemical tools to call people.

"Son, the Leaky Cauldron"

"Professor, Diagon Alley."

"I'm not lying to you, come on."

"Fuck, I don't believe you. I lied to you that I am Merlin's underwear."

Harry Potter, squeezed into a corner, pinched his nose hard, trying to stay away from the tuberose above his head, with a look of despair on his face.

And Zuko, the instigator of all this, was happily heading to Gringotts to exchange currency.

Gringotts is located at the central fork of Diagon Alley. It is a marble building. Two marble pillars support the crooked second floor, which looks shaky. The store does not look big from the outside, and is not even as big as some bank branches in Chu Ke's previous life. But in fact, it has been transformed using the Traceless Extension Charm, and the space inside is much larger than it looks from the outside.

Gringotts has two gates, one gold and one silver, with goblins standing on both sides of the gate welcoming guests in scarlet uniforms with gold inlays.

To be honest, Chu Ke thought this little thing looked ugly.

Ignoring the poem on the door frame, Zuko walked directly to an empty counter.
