Chapter 198: Go to the French Magic Street
...
Jerry did not plan to spend the twenty days before the start of school in Diagon Alley, but planned to go to the French Magic Street again.
However, because he has traces on his body, he cannot perform magic outside the gathering places of British wizards, and he cannot fly without a passport. He can only take a train to the coastal city of Hastings, then ride the Thestral Black Carbon Cross
The strait enters France.
Fortunately, Hastings is not far from London, it only takes two hours by train.
In fact, he could also ride the Thestral directly from London to France, but London is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, and it would be troublesome if he accidentally met other wizards.
Therefore, it is safer to choose to use ordinary people’s means of transportation.
On a certain coastline near Hastings, Jerry released Black Coal and rode it across the Strait of Dover to France.
After casting a phantom surgery on Heitan and himself, one man and one horse flew in the direction of Paris.
Heitan's flying speed was super fast. In less than half an hour, he arrived in the sky over Paris.
Landing on the famous pedestrian street in France, he put away the black charcoal and used the illusion transformation spell. Jerry transformed into an old man with a cane, wearing a suit and full of nobility.
Strolling to the center of an upward staircase on the left side of the pedestrian street, a rectangular stone pillar stands steadily there. Carved on the stone pillar is a half-naked Greek girl.
Jerry stepped forward and held the girl's hand and input some magic power. The stone statue girl immediately moved, revealing a stone door under her body for one person to pass through.
He pushed open the stone door and walked into the corridor. When he came out again, he had already visited the French Magic Street once before.
Last time, he followed the Quidditch team and directly used the Floo powder of the French Ministry of Magic to reach Magic Street, but this time he went through the normal entrance of Magic Street.
After entering the Magic Street, Jerry did not go shopping or buy anything. Instead, he found a regular wizard hotel and stayed there.
Because he may live here before Hogwarts starts school.
...
This time Jerry came to the French Magic Street for the black market, but not for magic items, but to see if he could buy some powerful magical animals, or their eggs, through the black market of the French Magic Street.
Now that he has learned contract magic, although he cannot yet contract thousands of magical animals, contracting with a few is not a big problem.
It's just that if you want to buy some powerful and dangerous magical animals, it is definitely impossible through formal channels.
So he thought of the black market in France.
It would be great if he could buy a magical animal that more closely suited his wishes. If not, it wouldn't be a loss if he could buy some relatively good magic items.
Moreover, in France, there is no worries about Zongsi, so he can use magic however he wants.
"Please give me a room!"
Jerry walked to the front desk of the hotel on crutches, took out a bag of gold galleons and put it on the table.
The goblin who was standing on the chair at the front desk settling accounts looked at the bag full of sparkling gold galleons on the table, and immediately raised his head with a flattering look on his face and responded:
"Dear Sir, that is my pleasure!"
With that said, he jumped off the chair and took Jerry upstairs himself.
Different from the slave-like existence status of house elves, elves with similar looks are currently the only existence in the wizarding world that can compete with human wizards.
It's not that they are so powerful, but that they almost control most of the economic lifeline of the entire wizarding world.
Gringotts, the only bank in the wizarding world, is basically controlled by the goblin race, and their shadows are also found behind many shops in Magic Street.
And they are very good at making precious special metals and silverware.
The Gryffindor sword, which can kill basilisks and absorb basilisk venom to be infinitely strengthened, was made by the most powerful goblin king in the Middle Ages.
But even so, in terms of hard power, they are still unable to compete with the wizard group. The several goblin rebellions launched in history were all put down effortlessly by wizards.
Following the goblin boss to the room, Jerry closed the door and jumped into the box space.
At this time, the space of the box was continuously expanded by his use of the Traceless Stretching Spell, and the area was already five times larger than before.
Moreover, some time ago, he flew to the suburbs of New York to become a businessman, purchased a large number of cattle, sheep and various livestock, and put them in the second expansion of the fence.
At present, it is mainly supplied to Noble and Black Carbon for consumption.
As for Crookshanks, one fish is enough for him to eat twice.
After three months of growth, Norbert's size has grown again. Although he can't fly yet, he can already flutter and stay in the air for dozens of seconds.
If it wasn't so fat, Jerry felt it might be able to stay longer.
The flames that Norbert sprayed were no longer small flames, but real flames with thick black smoke. The power was quite good, mainly because it covered a very wide area from a high position. It was a real group attack magic, and it was still wandless and silent.
, come as soon as you open your mouth.
However, Jerry has given an order to prevent it from breathing fire in the box space, lest it accidentally burn down the house.
After studying magic in the box space for several hours, it was estimated that it was completely dark outside, so he left the box space and quietly walked out of the hotel where he was temporarily staying.
The black market must only be available at night.
...
It’s the same familiar bar entrance, and the same familiar portrait of a dancing French witch in a long skirt.
Just in case, Jerry used the Illusion Transformation Spell to adjust his appearance again, and Jerry walked into the bar. The bar was still very lively.
It seems that the last arrest by Aurors did not frighten these dark wizards.
Also, since this bar is opened here, and even the Aurors know clearly that there is a black market below this bar, then many things are not as simple as they appear.
It is estimated that in many cases, the arrest of Aurors is just a warning.
Just like last time, because the Four Nations Quidditch Tournament was about to be held, the French Ministry of Magic didn't want anything to happen at that time, so there was such an arrest.
Normally, it is estimated that Aurors would rarely come over, otherwise the black market would not be able to operate so blatantly.
Walking towards the stairs leading to the underground black market, before the wizard on the stairs could react, Jerry had already quietly snapped his fingers:
"Confuse the public!"
Suddenly, the wizard guarding the stairs began to look confused.
The Confusion Curse is an advanced mind control spell that can cause the person being cast a state of confusion and mental confusion without any warning.
And when I woke up, I would just think I had taken a nap.
After Jerry had entered the underground floor, the wizard guarding the stairs came to his senses and scratched his head in confusion:
"What happened to me just now? Am I sleepy?"
