Chapter 39 With the Stick in Hand, Follow Me, Kill the Goblin, and Grab Galleon!

August is coming to an end, and at the tail end of this summer vacation, another major war has broken out in Britain.

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

Yep, it's really Diagon Alley.

On a certain evening, the Death Eaters suddenly appeared here and carried out a round of beating, smashing, looting and burning on the major shops.

The only thing that wasn't destroyed was Gringotts.

The goblins are still swaying left and right, and the ultimate neutrality, the Death Eaters did not dare to shout:

"Stick in hand, follow me, kill the goblin, and grab Galleon."

But the impact of this attack was particularly bad.

As the Diagon Alley of the three major commercial streets in Europe, it is the financial center of the British magic circle.

The importance cannot be overstated.

Therefore, such a seemingly unremarkable war action, because of the particularity of the chosen location, officially announced the comprehensiveness and deepening of the Second Wizarding War.

So far, the early raid-style battle has finally ended, and a full-scale war has begun.

And those ordinary wizards who thought they could stay out of it, also experienced the cruelty of war.

The most intuitive impact is the mass closure of stores.

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

And the wages are still those, not keeping up with the prices at all.

And because of the war, many shops closed and unemployment soared.

The magical society is completely in a vicious circle.

The black market is booming.

Voldemort's subordinates are basically pure blood wizards.

Many families have a lot of resources that can be invested in the black market.

This wave is good for them.

Everyone thought that the strategic intention of the Death Eaters was to disrupt the people's livelihood system dominated by the Ministry of Magic.

But few people noticed... At the same time that Diagon Alley was attacked, two wizards went missing.

One person is naturally the famous staff master - Ollivander.

But his disappearance, identified by more wizards as fear of the Death Eaters, and his escape from Diagon Alley.

Because there were no signs of fighting in the store, and a rest sign was hung on the door.

The second is Florin Fusco, owner of an ice cream shop in Diagon Alley.

There are more wizards who have witnessed this.

At the time, Fusco resisted fiercely, but was captured by the Death Eaters before the Aurors arrived.

Even the wizard who sold ice cream was caught.

For a time, everyone is in danger!

...

...

Diagon Alley,

Inside the Akali Mystery Shop.

After knowing the attack, William rushed to his store as soon as possible.

The losses are there, but not serious. Especially the twins and Cedric only organized a wave of counterattacks.

After William finished the inspection, he was very surprised to hear the report of Cedric and the twins.

"Mr. Ollivander must have been caught," Cedric said firmly.

"I was recently renovating the store, and Mr. Ollivander gave me guidance for a period of time. He also said that he would work for another ten years before retiring."

Good guy... In ten years, Cedric's wand shop is probably going bankrupt.

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

"I went to Mr. Ollivander's house, and there was no one at all. He was definitely taken by the Death Eaters."

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

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

George whispered:

"Maybe the Death Eaters took Ollivander to stop him from continuing to make wands."

Wands are the weapons of magic, and Ollivander is the largest supplier of weapons.

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

but……

The Death Eaters took Ollivander, William could understand why he took the ice cream shop owner?

William rubbed his eyebrows, he couldn't tear his sister apart.

What the hell was Voldemort trying to do...he couldn't catch Florin Fusco, was he to make him ice cream?

However, this Death Eater attack was not entirely without merit.

William finally had the opportunity to conduct a dip in the surrounding shops.

The shops in Diagon Alley have always been very expensive.

In peacetime, you can't buy it with any amount of money, you can only rent it at a high price.

Now you can get in at a super low price.

the reason is simple:

The last time the Wizarding War lasted for ten years, at that time many shops could not support it and finally had to close their doors.

This war is raging, and after the last experience, many people want to cash out and run away.

Not to mention, with the outbreak of the attack, everyone found that opening a store in Diagon Alley was still life-threatening.

Fred took the document and said:

"We recently acquired four storefronts, and Tom was contacting us when we heard that we were going to buy a store."

"Does Tom want to sell Leaky Cauldron?" William asked in surprise.

When he first came to Diagon Alley, he coveted the Leaky Cauldron and wanted to turn it into the Leaky Cauldron.

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

Well... the ordinary Tom runs a small bar all day... I didn't expect to be sitting on so many properties behind the scenes.

The clown is me!

"Negotiate with Tom, but don't buy it immediately." William thought about it and said:

"The war is going on for a long time, and we have time to drive down prices."

Although William was not short of money, he was definitely not willing to take advantage of him.

At this moment, Qiu stuck out his head, stared at the four of them, and complained:

"You guys have been chatting for an hour in the back, hurry up to the front desk, there are a lot of people!

And Cedric, someone buys a wand!

It's an old aunt! Calling for you! "

Cedric agreed and hurried out.

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

As long as Ollivander is around, he must have a monopoly on most of the British market.

Now Ollivander is missing, everyone has to buy wands, and the market share is vacant.

Even many people are afraid that they will not be able to buy them in the future, and want to buy more than one at a time.

Cedric's Wand Shop, just in time.

If he didn't know Cedric, William would doubt whether he kidnapped Ollivander.

Seeing Cedric go out, William and the twins followed to see what kind of "old aunt" was.

It is not accurate to say that it is an old aunt.

Just a witch in her forties, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked Cedric to go to her house to get a wand.

Where is it to match a wand and experience the touch of a "magic wand", it's almost the same.

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

Door-to-door service is not provided!

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

Then, pretending not to know him, he asked William to take her to the changing room to measure her.

The kind that is measured by hand... It is said that the old aunt said that the size of the wand produced by this ancient method is more ergonomic.

William is also very impressed... It's obviously an "arms" business, why is it so "upper-class".
