Chapter 111 Consumption, consumption, consumption again

360 Galleons, this price is actually not very high. If you go to Knockturn Alley for a walk, it will probably become 500 Galleons.

However, Ike had no intention of going to that smoky place.

Galleons are nice, but not necessary.

After leaving the Pig's Head Bar, Ike turned directly into another alley, used the Disguise Charm to hide himself, then put a levitating spell on himself, and jumped out of the wall with his feet.

After jumping three blocks in a row, Ike stopped.

He first removed the concealment spell on his face, then looked around, then removed the phantom spell on his body, and quietly blended into the crowd on the avenue outside.

After looking at the time, Stuart and the others should still be inside Honeydukes, and Ike had no intention of looking for them.After taking a moment to get my bearings, I headed straight to the DeVos and Bans store.

As a store that sells magic items, the traffic in Devis and Bans' store is less than that of Honeydukes and Zuko's Joke Shop, but not much less. There are three or five little wizards hanging around every shelf.

When he opened the door, the doorbell rang pleasantly, and the clerk at the cashier just looked up.Ike walked past the shelves one by one and slowly looked at the magic items sold on them.

In fact, this is the first time that Ike has seen so many magic items. Even in Diagon Alley, there are not as many types as here.

He picked up a memory ball casually. This was his goal. He took it first and waited until all the transfers were completed before settling the bill.

It is not enough to study alchemy behind closed doors, even with alchemy books such as "Hermetic Documents" as reference.This knowledge not only requires strong practical ability, but also rich imagination.

To be honest, Ike feels that he has both of them, but he still feels inadequate when making alchemy items. It's like he has countless inspirations in his mind, but only after he actually gets started, he realizes that they are all unrealistic. Practical conjecture.

On the one hand, there is a gap in the inheritance of alchemy. After the turbulence of the Middle Ages, not many of the powerful and mysterious ancient alchemy has been handed down. On the other hand, there is no teacher to guide Ike.

Speaking of which, Ike also wanted to go to Devon to find Nico Flamel, but he did not believe that the old man would really die calmly.But if no one introduced him, even if he knew that Nico Flamel was living in seclusion in Devon County, Ike would not be sure of finding him.

Countless people have tried to find the reclusive Nick Flamel over the centuries, but none of them have succeeded. Ike doesn't think he will succeed easily.

As for asking for help from Dumbledore, forget it. Ike doesn't want to get another fatal favor from Dumbledore.

When neither of these two paths worked, Ike could only try his best to find a way.Ordering alchemy magazines and collecting alchemy documents can be completed on campus, but researching mature alchemical items requires going outside the school.

Although the magic items in Devis and Bans' stores are just simple mass-produced gadgets, they can still provide Ike with enough ideas.

Seeing the big from the small, and then analyzing and solving problems, Ike is still very skilled in using this method.

After choosing a crystal ball that changes color according to a person's mood, and a pair of headphones that are said to be able to hear sounds that are normally inaudible, Ike left the DeVos and Bans store.

Next stop, Ike chose Wenrenju Quill Pen Store. His quill pens were always worn out very quickly, so he simply bought a box of ten quill pens, which was almost enough.

There were magic quills like Rita Skeeter's, which were very expensive, but Ike didn't even look at them.

This thing is actually not complicated, and it can be easily made with Ike's current level.

Cost...about two piles of cockroaches?

Before he knew it, it was noon, and Ike was walking towards the Three Broomsticks bar, carrying a paper bag containing his things.This is an appointment with Stuart and others, where they will enjoy a meal that is different from Hogwarts.

After waiting at the door for a while, I saw Stuart and the others walking over, talking and laughing.

"Here, this is what you want." Terry handed over a bag with some disgust. Ike took it with a smile, pinched out a pile of cockroaches and threw it into his mouth. The pleasure of exploding juice exploded in his mouth, and his face He once again showed that smile that still made Stewart and others uncomfortable even after seeing him for more than two years.

"Okay, okay, don't show such an expression here!" Stewart bumped Ike with his shoulder and knocked him towards the bar door. "Let's go to eat quickly, and we have to go to Zuko's Joke Shop later!"

"So you've been at Honeydukes this morning?"

"Of course! You don't know, there are so many kinds of candies inside, we all..."

As they said that, they walked in. The business in the bar was so good that they didn't expect it, so they still had to wait for a while to find a seat.

Almost all of them were students who came to Hogsmeade today, as well as professors who took a rare break. Ike saw Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape sitting together, with a cup filled with butter in front of each of them. beer.

This combination obviously exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone turned their heads to take a look from time to time, even when eating.

The Three Broomsticks Bar didn't offer many types of meals. Ike ordered a beef risotto and a small piece of fried pork chop, plus a glass of iced lemon tea. The others were similar, either risotto or burgers.

I'd like a butterbeer instead. The bar owner, Ms. Rosmerta, wouldn't sell this drink to a third-year wizard.

Of course, if the professors were not present, maybe...

After finishing the meal, I sat in the bar for a while before getting up and leaving.This time, Ike and Stewart went to Zuko's Joke Shop together and had a really good time.

As the most popular store in Hogsmeade, Zuko's Joke Shop certainly has its reasons for success.There are more prank props in it than in the jumping magic joke shop in Diagon Alley. A large part of them are researched by himself, and the strange effects are an eye-opener for Ike.

In a way, these prank props can also be regarded as alchemy items, and some of them have quite a high technical content.Ike also spent a lot of money and bought seven or eight gadgets. When he has time to crack it in the future, it will be a new way.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, several people left Zuko's Joke Shop and prepared to go back to school.Although it was only a few hours, it was really fun.

Instead of choosing a carriage, the five of them walked back together, chatting and laughing. It was a rare trip out, and not everyone wanted to stay outside for a while.Along the way, there were many people walking the same way, obviously having the same idea.

After walking for almost half an hour, the gate of Hogwarts appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but what was more obvious were the dementors wandering around above the gate.

"Damn it! Why did these guys show up here!" Terry said angrily, "They weren't there yet in the morning!"

"Obviously, it's for Sirius." Stewart's tone was not very good, "They are afraid that Sirius will sneak in while we are back!"

"This is totally useless. When Sirius was able to escape from Azkaban, there were many more dementors there than here!"

"Okay, don't discuss these." Ike said, "Don't let these affect your mood."

"That's right, that's right, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore..."

Several people pouted several times in succession, as if they were trying to expel their bad luck.At this time, Stewart's role was reflected, and the atmosphere became better with just a few words.

After passing through the gate talking and laughing, the dementors were obviously a little restless, and this happy mood was extremely attractive to them.However, it was just restlessness and there was no sudden attack, which disappointed Ike who was secretly prepared.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to study this thing again, so it seemed that he had no choice but to find another chance.
