Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Look, that's one of the entrances."

Tarino stopped and pointed to the brick wall beside the street where an old billboard was erected.

In fact, without Tarino's reminder, Maca had already discovered the anomaly there.

Now, he can vaguely perceive anything that possesses magical power.Although because of the natural decay of magic power, the farther away the more difficult it is to perceive, even the distance of ten meters is quite amazing.

Moody's magic eye works in the same way.

Of course, the maker of that thing must be an alchemy master, and the detection accuracy must be far beyond the current Maca.

It's just that Moody's magic eye can only detect a rough magic response, and transform it into a rough visual image through the sophisticated alchemy array.

That didn't help him to feel the magic of magic more clearly.

But even so, alchemy proved its infinite potential.If it weren't for the knowledge that was too profound and complicated, and the failure rate of actually making alchemy items was terribly high, I'm afraid the learning of spells would not be the mainstream of today's magical world.

And while Maca was habitually thinking, Tarino had already taken out his wand and placed it in an orderly manner on the letters of the billboard.

"Let's go! I will take you to see today, what is the'black' market." Tarino said with a smile.

I have long been accustomed to seeing Maca in the underground black market of Muggle World, and I am really curious about the black market in the magic world.To say that there is always darkness outside the light, the black market is the so-called "grey zone".

And this kind of place is usually quite shocking.

Sure enough, when Maca followed Tarino through the billboard, and after experiencing a cold sensation similar to that of passing through the entrance of "Platform Nine and Three Quarters", a roar of noise continued into his ears. Came in.

The first thing that catches the eye is a very wide circular square.

It can be seen from the old stone brick floor underfoot that several centuries have passed since the original construction period.

Around this circular square, there is a full circle of doors arranged closely, and from time to time, one or two mysterious wizards who hide their heads come out of those doors.

Maca looked back, and, as expected, he and Tarino also came out of these stone carved doors.

And in the four directions of this square, there are four stone roads leading to different directions.

On both sides of those roads, all kinds of strange buildings lined up one after another, and sometimes there are ghost cypresses that seem to be dry, but are actually full of vitality.

Under the dimly hanging street lamp, it looks more gloomy and darker than Knockdown Alley.

At this moment, Maca raised his head and looked towards the sky, but found that the top of his head was completely pitch black, there was not even a trace of light, and it was impossible to tell the direction.

"This place is bigger than the two Hogsmeade villages. Once you leave these four main roads, the route will become intricate, and even the elderly who often walk around here may lose their way..."

As Tarino explained, he took Maca to the opposite side of the stone road.

"The street with the brightest light is a comprehensive shopping area. There are a lot of messy shops, both serious and irregular. But in general, they are some very common bargains..."

He walked forward, pointed to the one on the left hand side, and then pointed to the right after finishing.

"The dimmed light over there is mainly the trading of various materials, of course, there are also some basic products of potions or alchemy."

"...And now, we are going in the direction we are going," he said, pointing to the darker street in front of him. "There are many high-value and rare items for sale, and there are even regular auctions. Well, it's still There is a...look, that building..."

There was no need for Tarino to point to that building. Maca saw it early in the morning-no way. Among the buildings, the large building was the tallest.

The big guy looked very similar to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, but it was obviously a few times bigger than Gringotts.

"That's also run by a fairy?" Maca couldn't help but guess.

"Yes! The Dark Spirit Pavilion Wizarding Guild, in addition to hosting currency deposits and withdrawals and treasury leases like Gringotts in Diagon Alley, there are more services here." Tarino said in high spirits, "News trading, personal And the group’s listing of employment, various task issuance and reception, etc. In short, it is an old union with very high credit."

"Do you usually pick up jobs here?" Maca smiled.

"Uh...Of course, although the agency fees here are not low, the point is that there will never be a job to do here." Tarino shrugged, "After all, we are most afraid of not having a reliable employer in this industry. , Isn't it?"

"Well... what about the darkest road before?" Maca pointed behind him, "What's there?"

After Tarino heard it, he subconsciously curled his lips.

"It's a residential area over there," he emphasized, "the residential area of ​​the'nobles' in the underground world."

"The nobles of the underground world?" Maca thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be... those black wizard families in the ancient times?"

"You also know?" Tarino said in surprise, "As far as I know, there is no such news left outside, and Dumbledore's existence over the years has made those families very low-key..."

"If you want to look for it, you can still find some clues." Maca said, "but they are really low-key, they have been almost hundreds of years? There is no wind at all... this is not just because The reason for Dumbledore?"

"I also heard others say that, who knows?" Tarino said indifferently. "Those families are already very weak. If they die anytime, I won't be surprised at all."

However, once it is matched with the things in the ancient times, nothing is simple-about this, Maca has already experienced it.

To say that those families continue to decline, he believes; but to say that they will die out silently, he does not believe that they will die.

In the face of death, even Flobber caterpillars that sleep and eat all day will be dying and struggling. How can those once behemoths die without warning?

The two of them walked side by side towards the large building called "Dark Spirit Pavilion" in a purposeless chat.

After they passed two magnificent black metal gates in succession, a wide hall immediately came into their sight.

The lacquered black marble floor and the lobby without any load-bearing pillars make it look much larger than what you see outside.

But it can be seen that there is no sign of the non-mark stretching curse being applied here, just because there is no visual obscuration, it makes this place look wider than imagined.

There is a long counter in each of the three directions of the hall.Behind that, sitting a large number of fairy staff, they are handling different business for all kinds of customers.

In the hall, there are more weird wizards.To say that Maca is most emotional at the moment, it is that he has personally experienced the number of wizards.

Although there must be many wizards here who are not so-called "dark wizards", those guys who exude a suspicious aura are definitely not good people.

In this way, the number of wizards in the entire British magical world may be much more than officially announced.The reason for this must be the "withdrawn" habit that wizards have been difficult to correct since ancient times.

Although the British Ministry of Magic has been established for nearly four hundred years, the sloppy and free life attitude of wizards has directly led to the looseness and uncontrollable society of wizards.

If it weren't for this, no matter how powerful Voldemort was, it would be difficult for him to have such a big impact on the magic world.

"That said, if I put up a task here to detect the movements of werewolves..." Maca looked at the large counter on the left and asked Tarino, "How often do I get news?"

"If you are not in a hurry, you can do this..." Tarino nodded, "I guess it will only take one week at most."

"Then what if I want to be faster?" Maca thought for a while, "Or, should we find the werewolf directly here?"

"Greyback registered here before and accepted a period of hiring. But you know... Werewolves are always unwelcome, and the same is true in the underground world." Tarino shook his head. " Now... there must be werewolves here, but even if they are, they are very low-key, and they usually don't easily reveal their identity."

It was Maca himself who suggested coming here. Although he wants to come here more to see and see, wouldn’t it be better if he could find clues here?

Judging from the environment here, it is at least much easier to get things done than to look for clues aimlessly.

"Here you are more familiar than me. If you want to see, where should I go to try my luck?" Maca looked around and asked casually.

Tarino groaned for a moment, then gestured with his chin to the entrance of the side hall next to the counter on the left.

"There are several large hire teams there. If you have enough Jin Jialong, it will not be a problem for them to catch Greyback directly." He said, "Of course, they also sell news, prices, of course. It is a bit more expensive."

Maca considered his current wealth, and felt that he should first find a way to make money for himself in this place full of money. This is the most important thing.

Since his partner Tyrande left Hogsmeade, his income has shrunk dramatically.Now his potion level has greatly improved than before, and he has invented several more potions. It seems that it is not very difficult to make money.

Just as Macca thought, a commotion came from a corner of the hall, drawing his attention.
