Chapter 93: The Mirror of Romance and the Vanishing Cabinet

Rolf really didn't have a lot of Galleons with him.

The Borkin-Bock store is a first-class gold-selling cave. It sells either black magic items or magic items passed down by ancestors of ancient families.

Those old items cost several thousand Galleons. Luofu's family was not that extraordinary, so he really didn't have that much spare money to buy these things.

Well, their family is actually quite wealthy... As an ancient pure-blood family, Scamander has accumulated some wealth from its ancestors.

Newt is also a best-selling author. His "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is popular all over the world and is the designated textbook for all magic schools...

But what does it have to do with Rolf? He is a twelve-year-old little wizard, and it is impossible for him to keep the key to the family vault!

The annual living expenses given to Luofu are enough to raise the magical creatures in the box...any more is an additional expense, and you need to find a way on your own.

Newt also encountered this situation when he was young... When he saw those smuggled magical creatures, he always couldn't help but want to buy them, but he was really short of money.

Later, Newt deliberately let down his guard and "accidentally" exposed precious magical creatures, specifically to seduce the dark wizard to rob him.

He then captures them and asks them to pay him to protect magical creatures... This process is euphemistically called "funding".

Of course, Newt's fishing behavior can not only catch dark wizards, but also his wife.

Tina is the biggest fish he has ever caught!

Luofu also followed suit and wanted people to "subsidize" him.

He and Shirley, two little wizards, walking in a dangerous place like Knockturn Alley, there is a high probability that they will encounter a dark wizard looking for trouble... Help will come soon!

The old witch was just unlucky, or very lucky, because she was caught by Rolf, who was going to use her as an emotionless ATM machine!

The three of them continued walking towards the depths of Knockturn Alley. Shirley tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes and asked quietly, "Rolph, will you really let her go later?"

"How could such a dark wizard be let go? There's no telling how many children she might have captured behind her back." Luofu lowered his voice and said:

"You will write a letter for me later, and when you arrive at the Borgin-Bock store, you can send it quietly at the door."

"To whom?"

"A trainee Auror who is going crazy because he wants to achieve results!"

Luofu leaned into the girl's ear and whispered an address.

The old witch was walking in the front. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the two people behind her talking to each other. She twisted her neck uncomfortably, feeling like they were plotting something.

But she didn't run away, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare.

Standing on her shoulder was a salamander with a tongue of fire, staring at her intently, threatening to bite her if she disagreed.

The back of his neck was also chilly... He was holding a knife made of snow and water.

Are all the little wizards today so cruel? The old witch cursed secretly.

They soon arrived at the door of the Bojin-Blog shop. Luo Fe stepped up the steps. He turned around and looked down at the old witch, smiling and saying:

"You'd better be honest and spend some money... If you want to escape, I can't guarantee whether your head and neck will be separated.

Ever heard of Nearly Headless Nico? I don't want to see you become like him! "

Luofu clearly had a warm smile on his face, but the old witch didn't feel any warmth at all. She only felt cold all over, and was so afraid that she didn't dare to look at him.

She seemed to be looking at a demon... She even cursed in her heart, the Dark Lord in his youth was nothing more than that, right? !

Luofu turned around and pushed open the door, followed closely by the old witch.

Shirley took a slow step and stood at the door, taking out a pen and paper from her wallet, preparing to write a letter and send it to the Ministry of Magic.

Rolf walked into Borgin-Bock's store. The room was large and filled with all kinds of magic items.

A withered human hand placed on the cushion of a glass box; a stack of blood-stained cards; a glass eyeball that was motionless.

Feral masks peered down from the walls; various human bones lay on the counter; rusty, tooth-like instruments hung from the ceiling.

Rove's eyes were suddenly drawn to a mirror, which was suspended on a shelf by a rope.

There was a stunning beauty in the mirror. She was wearing silk clothes and her long hair was flowing. After seeing Luofu, she gently took off her silk clothes, revealing a beautiful scenery of white flowers. She danced, her chest rose and fell, and she swayed. shake……

There were such exciting things in the Borgin-Bock store, and Luofu almost thought he was in the wrong place.

The boy was observing the mirror purely academically, studying the types of dance purely academically. At this moment, a gust of wind blew and the hanging mirror flipped over to its back.

It is still a portrait of a witch, but that witch is covered in flesh and blood, her face is rotten, bones are exposed in many places, and there are even white maggots rolling around...

"..."

What a romantic treasure mirror!

Luofu suddenly lost interest. He pulled down the curtain and blocked the mirror to prevent Shirley from coming in and seeing such inappropriate things.

He walked up to the counter and rang the bell on the counter, causing a tinkling sound to fill the room.

Soon, a hunched man appeared behind the counter. His face was wrinkled and there were countless warts on the sagging skin on his chin.

He smoothed back his shiny hair with his hand, looked at the old witch, and asked in a low voice:

"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"

The old witch said nothing, but looked at Luo Fe humbly.

Rolf did not ask the Smith family right away. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. It should be done step by step. He pointed to a cabinet in the corner and said, "Bring it over and have a look."

Mr. Borgin glanced at the old witch, then looked at the boy. After a moment, he slowly walked over and brought the cabinet to the counter.

It was a black and gold cabinet with runes engraved on the cabinet surface and a raven emblem on the cabinet door. Although it was small, it was extremely clear.

"How much is this vanishing cabinet?" Rolf asked.

Bogin glanced at the boy, grinned with his toothless mouth, and said:

"Sir, you have a good eye. You recognized it as a vanishing cabinet at once... Only 4,000 Galleons."

"Four thousand Galleons is the price of a pair of vanishing cabinets." Rolf smiled and said, "Mr. Borgin, you only have one vanishing cabinet, and its value has dropped sharply. Even a 50% discount is too expensive..."

He was right. The vanishing cabinet is really valuable because a pair of cabinets can communicate with each other. You can get in from one cabinet and get out from another cabinet... It's faster than a random door.

But it is useless if there is only one cabinet, so it is not worth much, which is why it has never been sold... It's like a pair of beautiful shoes, but if there is only one left, no one will buy it.

But of course Borgin could not admit this, he boasted:

"Hey, sir, you can't say that. Look at this crow, it is the emblem of the Strange family."

"This is an object from the 16th century AD. Look at the craftsmanship and the withered flowers... I can assure you that there is no other vanishing cabinet in the whole Knockturn Alley that can be more artistic than it... This is a work of art!"

"It can't be used, it can only be a decoration at most. How about this, round it off..." Rolf said softly: "Four hundred Galleons, I want it."

"Hey, sir." Borgin said with a bitter smile: "How can you round it off like this? The minimum is three thousand Galleons, it can't be lower."

"Eight hundred, take it or not." Rolf began to pull.

"Two thousand Galleons." Borgin took another step back.

Luo Fu turned and left. He counted down five numbers, and when he counted to three, he heard Bo Jin hurriedly said:

"Okay, I sold it at a loss... Consider it my friend."

Luo Fu stopped and sighed. It seemed that he was too impatient and offered too high a price... He didn't get the price right.

But it doesn't matter. It's not his money anyway, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it!
