Hogwarts, where the stars shine

The dimly lit Knockturn Alley is filled with all kinds of dark magic items and shady transactions.If Diagon Alley is like a sunny day, Knockturn Alley is like a starless and moonless night.

Although Knockturn Alley is also a commercial area, not everyone who enters here can do business with a large store like Bojin-Bock.Not everyone can afford the price of items that can easily cost hundreds or even thousands.

Just like many people know all about luxury cars and watches, only a small number of people can afford them, and others can only rely on simulators.

Mr. Bock, who comes from one of the 28 sacred families, has strong capital and rich connections. They only deal with big business and have stopped doing small business with low return rate for a long time.

In this case, people like Hope Edmund came into being. These people operated the lower-level transactions of Knockturn Alley and built the basic market of Knockturn Alley.

Although the prices of the items these people trade are not as shocking, they are still full of danger.If you go to Diagon Alley, a ticket to Azkaban is inevitable.

They don't have to be top dark wizards, but they must be very capable.

It is this ability that allows them to thrive in this dark alley where the weak and the strong prey on others.

Ability does not just refer to a person's magical attainments. Networks, channels, resources, scheduling, etc. are all manifestations of ability.The more abilities you master, your status in the dark alley will naturally increase.

Hope Edmund is such a capable person.He didn't have the strength to break through Knockturn Alley, but his management of himself and the integration of resources allowed him to have a place here and established the name of Hope Edmund.

Because of this, after hearing Mesa's problem, the thief Mundungus Fletcher immediately thought of him and recommended Hope Edmund to Mesa.

Most people who make a living on Knockturn Alley know Hope Edmund.He has been a hot celebrity in recent years, and many people in the alley have trading relationships with Edmund, either buying or selling.

Hope Edmund raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, thinking about the reason why he came to find him.

The young man with red lips, white teeth, and handsome features looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old. Such a young man did not look like someone who relied on Knockturn Alley for a living.

"I am Hope Edmund, and this is not a place for children." Edmund said, his voice was deep and steady, not at all as smooth as a black market businessman.

Edmund continued: "Or, what do you want from me?"

Even though Mesa appeared to be just a teenager, Hope Edmund didn't really treat Mesa as a minor.

Every year, some children "accidentally" enter Knockturn Alley. Most of them are frightened into tears by the gloomy atmosphere here, and are then taken away by anxious parents.

It was rare for a young wizard to walk up to Hope Edmund safe and sound, and it was completely worthy of Edmund's special attention.

Hope Edmund was sizing up Mesa, and Mesa was sizing up him.Mesa couldn't guarantee that he would never come to Knockturn Alley again, so it was a good choice to establish a stable relationship with local snakes.

"I want to make a deal with Mr. Edmund." Mesa said straight to the point. "This deal should be easy for Mr. Edmund to make."

Mesa didn't talk nonsense when he first came up. No matter how extravagant his words were, he just wanted to buy a magic wand.It would be bad if Edmund mistakenly thought that big business was coming after some bragging.

Even if you are in Knockturn Alley, even if the transaction partner is a dark wizard, you still have to follow the rules.A strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes, not to mention that Mesa is not yet a strong dragon and cannot suppress local snakes here.

"What kind of deal can you, a little brat, do with Mr. Edmund!" the wizard scolded at first, "Stop wasting Mr. Edmund's time here!"

Not only did he talk, the blind wizard actually moved his hands. He walked up to Mesa and pushed Mesa hard.

If Mesa hadn't stood firm, he would have been pushed to the ground by this man and his face would have been completely humiliated.

There are always some people in the world who can't tell the difference between their eyebrows and their eyebrows. They will always pop up at the right time and act as stepping stones for others.And never tired of it.

"Mr. Edmund, the friend next to you doesn't seem very friendly." Mesa said with a smile, "The eyes are not that good either."

With that said, Mesa took action decisively, and the magic spell shot from the ebony wand went straight to the man's eyes.

Hearing a heart-rending cry of pain, the wizard covered his eyes in pain and fell down, rolling on the dirty ground.

Following Mesa's move, the others also pointed their wands at Mesa. Just waiting for Hope Edmund's order, they turned the boy in front of them into fertilizer.

After knocking down the rude male wizard, Mesa did not choose to continue to attack, but took a step back without changing his expression.Mesa just teaches those who are arrogant to him, and has no intention of causing trouble.

"That's enough, lower your wands and carry him down." Hope Edmund ordered, "Also, I really don't want to see him recently."

As soon as Edmund's words came out, everyone lowered their wands.The two walked towards the screaming wizard and carried him away, while the remaining people stood behind Edmund, waiting for orders.

"My subordinates are ignorant and make my little brother laugh." Edmund did not get angry and still talked to Mesa calmly.

Matte-black Edmund walked towards Mesa as he spoke, and continued half-threatening, half-praising: "You are very skilled, little brother, but you are too disrespectful to me."

Mesa was not afraid of Edmund's threat, or he had already seen through Edmund's true intentions.

Now that Hope Edmund has spoken to Mesa in person, it means that he has regarded Mesa as his customer.But the people under his command jumped out without shame, pushed the customers rudely, and still crossed Hope Edmund to cause trouble.

This man's behavior was far more serious than Mesa's overstepping of authority. He was not only slapping Mesa in the face, but also slapping Edmund in the face.

If the person standing here was not Mesa, but a certain big shot in the White Arowana suit, what he did today would make Hope Edmund lose a lot of things, including his wealth and life.

After being able to hang out in the harsh environment of Knockturn Alley for so long, it is impossible for Edmund not to know these things.Obviously, this man's malicious push towards Mesa was prompted by Hope Edmund.

Edmund was testing Mesa, gauging his depth.Otherwise, Edmund should have stopped it early, instead of watching indifferently and watching the man swipe the faces of his guests and himself.

If Mesa is afraid of the opponent's reputation and does not dare to defend himself and allows his face to be wiped out, it means that he is an embroidered pillow that is worthless.

An embroidered pillow was not worthy of being a customer of Hope Edmund; such a person was only worthy of being traded.

"Please forgive me for being rude. I didn't mean to offend you, Mr. Edmund." Mesa said without being humble or condescending.Mesa acknowledged that his behavior was offensive and apologized to Edmond for it, but he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

"I don't feel half sincerity in your apology." Edmund said, "Are young people always so arrogant?"

As Edmund asked, the wizard behind him raised his wand again and pointed it at Mesa.It seemed that as long as Mesa's answer did not satisfy Edmund, they would use the light of the magic spell to teach Mesa how to apologize.

"I came here to seek a deal with Mr. Edmund, not to apologize." Mesa said, as if he didn't see the wands pointed at him, "I just need to maintain my sincerity during the transaction. enough."

Mesa took a step forward, looked up into Edmund's sharp eyes, and continued: "Besides, Mr. Edmund. I don't know if you like being pointed at with a wand. Anyway, I don't like it. I don't like it very much."

Women and children can make mistakes, but men cannot.

Mesa's tough performance, as well as his confidence, made Hope Edmond feel a little drum in his heart, and he was not sure.

If the young man in front of him is the young master of a big family, why doesn't he go to Bojin-Bok with his background?If the young man in front of him is alone, what supports his arrogance?

"I don't want to talk about it in circles, and I don't want to hear it anymore." Edmund said in a deep voice, "What do you want from me?"

"A wand," Mesa said. "A wand with no origin and no destination."

Hearing this, Hope Edmund frowned, and his face darkened visibly.This is a disappointing answer.
