Chapter 595 The real Knockturn Alley
Ciel particularly scoffed at what Grindelwald said about the wealth in Knockturn Alley. Look at the name of Knockturn Alley he just passed by.
Dark, dilapidated, crazy, dark, poor, dangerous, any bad adjective you can think of can describe the place that Ciel just passed by.
Because of this, Charles didn't believe at all that there was a lot of wealth hidden in this mysterious and real Knockturn Alley.
Grindelwald also saw Ciel's thoughts, but surprisingly did not refute, but silently led Ciel to continue walking down the dark and narrow corridor.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Grindelwald naturally understands this simplest truth. Instead of telling it to Ciel himself, it is better to let Ciel feel it himself.
The two of them walked on the stairs without saying a word, all the way down. They walked for who knows how long. Just a second before Charles was about to lose his patience, the steep, dark and narrow stairs finally came to an end.
What appeared in front of Charles was a much wider passage. The passage seemed to have been cut out of a huge boulder by someone, and it was full of artificial traces everywhere.
Grindelwald still led Ciel forward without saying a word. Ciel could only follow Grindelwald's footsteps, but he was still very happy. After all, this kind of place is full of joy for Ciel. Mysterious.
The lanterns in their hands could illuminate a very small area, but it was enough to see the road ahead. Ciel originally wanted to use lighting magic, but looking at Grindelwald in front of him who kept moving forward with the lantern, he had no idea at all. Ideas for using lighting magic.
Ciel felt that things were not simple, so he temporarily put out the idea of using magic. Soon, Ciel's premonition became a reality.
After the two of them moved forward for a short period of time, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of the originally dark passage. Charles's dull mood of walking in the darkness for a long time disappeared as soon as he discovered the bright light. Without a trace.
Driven by the human instinct of light-tending, both Grindelwald and Ciel unconsciously speeded up their pace, and soon they arrived at a place not far from the light.
But what Charles didn't expect was that before he could exit, he was blocked by a notice board. Charles was very cautious and did not rush to leave this dark and narrow passage. Instead, he raised his lantern and read it carefully. Get up what's on the sign.
Grindelwald did not urge Ciel, but stood aside and watched Ciel's actions without saying a word.
“First, all light sources other than lanterns, including magic, fire, and Muggle technology, are absolutely not allowed to be used in Knockturn Alley.
Secondly, only those who own a horse lantern and the horse lantern still has lights are local 'citizens', and citizens are prohibited from privately inquiring about anyone's identity.
Third, the above two laws are only local laws and the only laws. "
After reading the three items on the notice board, Charles still couldn't help but gasped. The first two items were understandable, but the third item was quite intriguing when added to it.
The first point is not mentioned, it is an iron law. Similarly, the existence of this iron law also immediately put an end to those guys who are good at using flames, magic such as sharp fire or flame spells. According to the above The argument can never be used.
The second article seems to be protecting the identity information of people who come to trade, but after adding the third article, it will become very interesting.
Does the prohibition of private inquiries mean that inquiries can be made openly? ,
And the most important thing is that Article [-] clearly states that there are only two laws here. In other words, except for these two laws that must be obeyed, the rest are just farts.
So, aren't activities such as killing people and stealing goods prohibited here?
The more Ciel thought about it, the more he became more and more frightened. The feeling of relaxation deep in his heart caused by Grindelwald's adventurous side disappeared without a trace in an instant, and his vigilance was immediately heightened.
Seeing that Ciel seemed to be thinking about the content on the notice board, Grindelwald opened his mouth to explain to Ciel.
"First of all, I have to admit that you have really matured a lot. If it had been when we first met, you might have looked at the darkness around you and released the magic of lighting."
Grindelwald's expectations were full of ridicule, and Ciel couldn't help but blush when he heard it. After all, he was a lot of naughty people at that time, and he might actually do such a thing.
Even so, the doubts in Ciel's heart did not diminish at all. Looking at Grindelwald where the old god was standing, Ciel still couldn't help asking the questions in his heart.
"A, what happens if I accidentally use lighting magic in the corridor?"
Listening to Ciel's question, Grindelwald just smiled lightly, satisfying Ciel's curiosity, and answered.
"Then I will lead you back to Diagon Alley immediately, leave you in Tom's tavern, and come to this place to find information myself."
Grindelwald's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but Ciel felt that it was making a fuss out of a molehill. How could a lighting magic make Grindelwald so cautious?
Grindelwald seemed to have seen what Ciel was thinking, and just smiled softly before continuing to speak to Ciel.
"Look carefully at the lantern in your hand. The flame inside is not an ordinary flame, but a morning star, commonly known as a will-o'-the-wisp. This is a very magical magical creature."
After listening to Grindelwald's words, Ciel's eyes almost popped out of his eyes in surprise. He immediately picked up the lantern in his hand and began to carefully observe the flame inside the lantern.
The small flame seemed to be conscious. The moment Ciel's eyes fell on the flame, the small flame began to tremble violently, as if it was afraid of Ciel's gaze.
At the same time, Charles's mind also came to the introduction about Morning Star in the textbook.
The morning star, also commonly known as the will-o'-the-wisp, is a rare magical animal from the East. It is usually born in dark places far away from human habitation. It is a very rare magical animal.
The reason for its rarity is also very strange. The thing that this magical animal born in the darkness is most afraid of is just simple light. In other words, as long as this thing comes into contact with something that is brighter than itself except the light of the same kind, it will A swift death.
Not only that, the only function of these little guys as magical creatures is to illuminate, or to float and illuminate, but other than that they are useless.
Such a weird setting makes these little guys a rare species in the magical world. Ciel never thought that he could actually see these weird little guys with his own eyes.
