Chapter 33: Acromantula Venom, Dragon's Heart, Lucky Day! In Diagon Alley at night, the hustle and bustle of the day has disappeared, replaced by silence and desolation. On the street, the middle-aged black wizard brought Charles to the entrance of a nearby alley. The signs and warnings at the entrance of the alley have been temporarily erased. At first glance, it looks like countless ordinary alleys, except that it appears particularly deep and secluded. But if some experienced wizards were to come here, they would probably be terrified by the sight of this alley. This is where all kinds of illegal transactions in the wizarding world take place, and it is also where dark wizards frequently appear - Knockturn Alley. Some of the wizards who accidentally entered this place left safely without seeing anything, while others escaped unharmed. But some of them have completely disappeared from the face of the earth. At this time, the middle-aged black wizard brought Charles here and was trying hard to persuade Charles to go in with him. "Mr. Ciel, my family is still waiting for Galleons to buy a wand and robe for my daughter."
"You don't want to see your future classmate, a pink and tender little girl, go to school wearing an old robe that is ridiculed by others, right?" Charles shrugged and said quietly. "Is it possible that I will be one of those who ridicule her in the future?" The middle-aged dark wizard choked and smiled awkwardly. "How could that be? Mr. Charles is kind-hearted. You are a kind-hearted person." After hearing this, Charles nodded in satisfaction. "You still have vision." "Since you've said that, forget it. I'll just take the loss and take your things." Immediately, Ciel drew out his wand. The middle-aged dark wizard was startled. "Mr. Ciel, why are you taking out your wand?" Ciel chuckled and chanted the spell. "Fluorescence." A bright light burst out from the tip of his wand, illuminating the road ahead. he smiled. "The road ahead is so dark, I'll cast a fluorescent spell to light up the road." "I dare to follow you into this alley. Are you afraid of a little wizard like me?" The middle-aged dark wizard thought so too. For a young wizard like this who hasn't even entered Hogwarts yet, the best he can do is cast a Luminescent Charm. How can he be a match for a vicious dark wizard like him?
I'm afraid that the little wizard would be scared to death when he heard the three words "dark wizard". So he grinned and complimented Charles. "Mr. Ciel is indeed from a prestigious family. He is already so skilled in using the Luminescent Charm before he even enters school. His future is limitless." Soon, he took Charles and walked into Knockturn Alley step by step. At the same time, in the shadows not far away, Tonks saw this scene and heard the conversation between Charles and the dark wizard, and she felt anxious. She was a trainee Auror after all, so of course she knew where the alley that Charles entered was. That is Knockturn Alley, a place that most wizards in the magical world are terrified of. This is also the result of a compromise between the Ministry of Magic and the dark wizards, allowing the dark wizards to have a place to trade, and there is anti-detection magic in it, so it doesn't matter if the dark wizards rob each other in it. As long as no Unforgivable Curses were used, or any cruel experiments were conducted, the Ministry of Magic would turn a blind eye and assume that nothing had happened. After all, the group of dark wizards has always existed in the magical world and cannot be eradicated. If a one-size-fits-all approach was adopted, they would be completely deprived of their places of trade and livelihood. With so many Dark wizards scattered across the UK, the Ministry of Magic would be overwhelmed. Therefore, once entering Knockturn Alley, due to the anti-detection magic, if Ciel was abducted by these dark wizards, it would not be easy to find him. These dark wizards went to great lengths to trick Charles here, so their intentions could not be simple. Thinking of this, whether out of her own mission or her innate sense of justice, Tonks could not sit idly by and watch all this happen. Immediately, Tonks drew her wand and prepared to rush into Knockturn Alley to rescue Ciel. But the next moment, a binding spell flew from behind Tonks and hit Tonks who was caught off guard. The dark wizard who had been following Tonks sneered at Tonks who was lying on the ground. "Idiot, you are so inexperienced and you still want to learn how to step on the ground?" "You are unlucky today!" As he waved his wand, Tonks' wand flew to the side and the ropes wrapped around Tonks. A look of regret appeared on Tonks' face. How could she have imagined that she had been discovered long ago and was still being secretly followed by the dark wizard? It’s all over now. Not to mention saving Charles, I might even lose my life! …… At this time, Charles, who entered first, had his retreat blocked by the middle-aged black wizard, and two other wizards in black robes appeared in front of him. He asked with a strange look in his eyes. "Where are the things I need to collect? Have you brought them?" The middle-aged black wizard behind him showed a sarcastic look. He didn't expect that Charles hadn't reacted to the situation and was still thinking about collecting his things. The two black-robed wizards also laughed. "Here we are, here we are, our Master Charles, please take a look." Then, the two black-robed wizards took out two packages.
One package contained a glass bottle containing a green liquid. The other package contained something shaped like a shriveled persimmon, but it was only about the size of a football. Charles narrowed his eyes, recognized the two things, and an uncontrollable look of heat appeared on his face. That glass bottle contained the venom of the giant eight-eyed spider, and there was quite a lot of it, which was an extremely rare magical material. The football-sized, persimmon-shaped object was actually a shriveled dragon heart. Although a long time has passed and it is no longer fresh, and there is definitely not a drop of dragon blood left, the value of the dragon heart is still quite high. These are precious materials that are difficult to buy through normal channels. Apart from Knockturn Alley, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy them even if you search the entire Diagon Alley! Ciel licked his lips. "A bottle of unknown spider blood. It's disgusting. Give it to Twelve Sickles." "And that, ugh, dried animal organs, you want me to buy that too?" "Forget it. I am kindhearted. One gold galleon." "Add the two together to make it a perfect sum for you. I'll take both of them." As he spoke, Charles took out two gold Galleons and smiled. "You don't need to thank me. It's our duty to help people in need." This time, except for the middle-aged black wizard who had seen Charles's face before, the other two black wizards were also confused. "Fuck, this is the venom of the giant eight-eyed spider, how did it become the blood of an unknown spider?" "Twelve Silver Sickles? Do you even know how many Galleons a pint of that stuff is?!" "And this is a dragon's heart. How dare you call it dried animal organs?" "Just two gold Galleons for the total? How can you be so ruthless at such a young age!" Charles spread his hands. "How can this be considered evil? I warn you, you are insulting my character." "If someone else had insulted me like this, I would have fought him to the end and demanded mental compensation." "But you guys are already in a difficult situation. If I do something like this again, am I still a human being?" "I am a kind-hearted person. I don't want any compensation. Just leave your things behind." Silence echoed in Knockturn Alley. The three dark wizards looked at Charles with a feeling of gnashing their teeth, as if a thousand horses were galloping through their hearts. Is this what you call kindness? This is simply a waste of money!
The middle-aged dark wizard who brought Ciel here could no longer bear it, drew out his wand and shouted angrily. "You damn little wizard, you termite, you vampire, you actually dare to say that you have a kind heart. I have tolerated you for a long time!" "To tell you the truth, this is Knockturn Alley. Haha, we tricked you here specially. You don't think we really want to give you something, do you?" "Wait and see how I deal with you!" At this moment, at the entrance of Knockturn Alley, Tonks, who was tied up, was dragged in by the dark wizard who was following her. The dark wizard said disdainfully. "I subdued this idiot. He was still dazed when I knocked him down!" Tonks looked at the four dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, the despair in her eyes became more and more intense. She couldn't even maintain the effect of the Animagus disguise and returned to her original appearance. With pink hair and a youthful and beautiful face, she stands out in Knockturn Alley. When the four dark wizards saw Tonks' true appearance, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed. "Okay, we thought it was a man, but it turned out to be a witch?" Several greedy eyes roamed over Tonks. "You're really young. You just graduated from Hogwarts, right?" "Tsk, tsk, it must taste delicious. When we have enough fun, we can sell your parts for a lot of gold galleons." "Merlin, you are so kind to us. Today is our lucky day!" Listening to their horrifying words, Tonks' eyes couldn't help but reveal fear. If she really fell into that situation, she would rather be hit by a killing curse! Just when several dark wizards couldn't help laughing triumphantly, Charles looked at Tonks, whose hair color and appearance had changed, and he seemed to have seen something that surprised him. With such features, he is definitely an Animagus in disguise. This is an important material suggested by the Deep Blue System, which can greatly reduce the points required for subsequent deductions of the Animagus Transfiguration! Ciel had been thinking of looking for Tonks later, but he didn't expect that by some strange coincidence, Tonks was actually here! He couldn't help laughing out loud. "First it was the unicorn horn, then the acromantula venom and the dragon's heart, and now here comes a disguised Animagus?" "Merlin, I don't know if today is your lucky day, but it's definitely mine!" (End of this chapter)
