Chapter 35 Slughorn Attacked

August is coming to an end, and at the end of this summer vacation, another large-scale war broke out in Britain.

The concentration point of the battlefield, beyond everyone's expectations, actually happened in... Diagon Alley.

That's right, it's Diagon Alley.

One evening, the Death Eater suddenly appeared here and carried out a round of beating, smashing, looting and burning major shops.

The only thing that has not been destroyed is Guling Pavilion.

The goblins were still swaying from side to side, extremely neutral, and the Death Eaters did not dare to shout out:

"With the stick in hand, follow me, kill the goblins, and rob Garon."

But the impact of this attack was particularly bad.

As the diagonal alley of the three major commercial streets in Europe, this is the financial center of the British magic circle.

The importance is self-evident.

Therefore, such a seemingly ordinary war action, due to the particularity of the choice, officially announced the comprehensive and in-depthization of the Second Wizard War.

At this point, the early raid battle finally ended and began to enter a state of full war.

And ordinary wizards who think they can stay out of the matter also truly experience the cruelty of war.

The most intuitive impact is the large number of stores closed.

In addition, the Suez Canal has not been repaired yet, and prices in the UK have also risen sharply.

But the salary is still the same, and it cannot keep up with the prices at all.

Because of the war, many stores went bankrupt, causing the unemployment rate to soar.

The magical society is completely in a vicious circle.

The black market is becoming more and more prosperous.

Voldemort's subordinates are basically pure blood wizards.

Many families have mastered a large amount of resources and can invest in the black market.

This wave is good for them.

Everyone thought that the strategic intention of the Death Eater was to disrupt the livelihood system dominated by the Ministry of Magic.

But few people noticed...Diagon Alley was attacked, and two wizards were also missing.

A person is naturally the famous master of staff making Ollivand.

But his disappearance was considered by more wizards as fearing the Death Eater, and then fled Diagon Alley.

Because there were no signs of fighting in the store, and there were signs for rest hanging on the door.

The second is Forlorin Fosco, the owner of an ice cream shop in Diagon Alley.

There are more wizards who have witnessed this.

At that time, Fosco resisted fiercely, but he was still captured by the Death Eaters before Auror arrived.

Even the wizard selling ice cream was captured.

For a moment, everyone is in danger!

...

...

Diagonal Alley,

Inside the mysterious store of Akali.

After knowing that the attack had occurred, William rushed to his shop as soon as possible.

The losses were absent, but not serious. In particular, the twins and Cedric organized a counterattack.

After William finished the examination, he was also very surprised to hear the report from Cedric and the twins.

"Mr. Ollivand must have been arrested." Cedric said with certainty.

"I was renovating the store recently. Mr. Ollivander gave me some guidance and said he would work for another ten years before he retired."

Good guy... After working for another ten years, Cedric's wand shop would probably have gone bankrupt.

But Cedric didn't care about this, he insisted:

"I have also gone to find Mr. Ollivander's house, and there is no one at all. He was definitely taken away by the Death Eater."

Cedric worked as an apprentice in Ollivander's store for seven years and had a close relationship with the old man.

His words can naturally be used as evidence to prove that Ollivander disappeared...is an abnormal disappearance.

George whispered:

"Maybe the Death Eater captured Ollivander to stop him from continuing to make a wand."

The magic wand is equivalent to the arms of the magic world, and Ollivand is the largest arms supplier.

Capturing him can indeed effectively cut off the source of "arms" in the magic world.

but……

William understands why the Death Eater captured Ollivander, why did he capture the owner of the ice cream shop?

William rubbed his eyebrows, and he couldn't get his sister out of trouble.

What exactly does Voldemort want to do... He can't catch Folorin Fosco, is it to make him ice cream?

However, this Death Eater attack was not completely unhealthy.

William finally had the chance to buy the shops around him at the bottom.

The shops in Diagon Alley have always been very expensive and can be said to be a treasure and land.

In peacetime, you can’t buy no matter how much you pay, and you can only rent a house at a high price.

Now, you can enter at an extremely low price.

The reason is very simple:

The last Wizard War lasted for ten years. At that time, many shops could not hold on and ended up closing.

This war is coming in full force. With the experience of the last time, many people want to cash out and run away.

Not to mention, as the attack broke out, everyone discovered that opening a store in Diagon Alley was still in danger of life.

Fred said with the document:

"We recently bought four stores and heard that we were going to buy a shop, and Tom was also contacting us."

"Does Tom want to sell the broken pot wine?" William said in surprise.

When he first came to Diagon Alley, he was salivating at the Bouke Bar and wanted to change it to the Bouke Club.

"That's not." George shook his head. "Tom has seven or eight stores and is eager to change his hands."

OK... Tom, who is ordinary, runs a small bar all day long... Unexpectedly, he actually owns so many real estate behind his back.

The clown is me!

"Contact with Tom, but don't buy it immediately." William thought for a while and said:

"The war will last a long time, and we have time to lower prices."

Although William is not short of money, he is definitely unwilling to be a sucker.

At this moment, Qiu tapped out his head, stared at the four people, and complained:

"You have been chatting behind for an hour. Come to the front desk quickly, there are so many people!

And Cedric, someone bought a magic wand!

He is an old aunt! I want to find you by name!"

Cedric agreed and hurriedly ran out.

After Ollivand disappeared, the one who benefited the most was Cedric, who had just opened a magic wand shop.

As long as Ollivand is there, he will inevitably monopolize most of the British market.

Now that Ollivand is missing, everyone still has to buy a magic wand, and the market share is vacant.

Many people are even afraid that they won’t be able to buy it in the future, so they want to buy more at one time.

Cedric's wand shop is open at the right time.

If it weren't for Cedric, William would have doubted whether he had kidnapped Ollivander.

Seeing Cedric walking out, William and the twins also went out to see what kind of "old aunt" they were.

It's not accurate to say it's an old aunt.

He was just a witch in his forties. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Cedric to go to her house to get a magic wand.

This is not the same as getting a magic wand, and experiencing the touch of the "wire".

Qiu pointed coldly on the wall, and there was an announcement on it:

No door-to-door service is provided!

The old aunt was a little disappointed, and then accidentally saw William pushing out the door, her eyes lit up, and she obviously recognized who he was.

Then, he pretended not to know her and asked William to change the size of her clothes.

The kind that can be measured with bare hands... It is said that the old aunt said that the size of the wand made in this ancient method is more in line with the human body.

William was also impressed... It was obviously an "arms" business, so why did it be so vulgar?
