Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 161 The Vanishing Cabinet

"Really? What legends are there about it?"

"They are not legends, honorable sir; they are things that they really experienced." The shop owner straightened up to make his words more convincing.

"Anything else? Some real good stuff?" Sainz turned his masked face in the direction of the counter and said meaningfully.

"You seem to be a picky customer. Please wait a moment and I will get it for you." He took out a sheepskin list from behind the counter and handed it to Sainz.

Sainz didn't take it, but cast a spell to make it expand in the air. There were many various things on it, most of which were similar to the opal necklace, and there were also various poisons.

He looked around casually, selected a packet of poison and the cursed necklace, then checked out without asking about the cabinet.

After confirming that the thing did exist, he began to hide in the corner and wait.

Until he found a target and used the Imperius Curse to control a wizard for the second time.

This time it was an elderly wizard.

"Mr. McLean, how can I help you?" The shop owner's exaggerated tone seemed to be picking someone. This old wizard was obviously someone he knew, and he spoke much more normally.

"Mr. Borgin, I like this cabinet. Name your price!" Sainz controlled the old wizard and said directly.

"Ah... I suppose you know what it is, don't you? You seem to have made a fortune, Mr. McLean?"

Sainz controlled the old wizard to look at him, deliberately letting him see the slightly confused look in the old wizard's eyes, "I think this has nothing to do with you, you sell things, I pay, it's that simple!"

The shop owner saw the old wizard's empty eyes and the wand in his hand that was pointed at him intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes shrank for a moment, and then he said nonchalantly: "Oh, yes, yes, I was too talkative. The money and goods are clear, and it's a fair trade. This is reasonable."

"Then name a price, Mr Borgin!"

"Ten thousand gold coins, sir!"

"Mr. Borgin, I don't really care about money, but I can't allow anyone to take me for a fool, what do you think?

I think it is more beneficial for everyone to trade normally than to offend each other."

The shop owner showed no anger at being rejected. "So what price do you think it should be?"

"I think one thousand Galleons is a more appropriate price."

Mr. Bock immediately shouted as if he had been greatly wronged, "You might as well kill me. I would rather you step over my dead body than accept such an insult! Nine thousand gold coins!"

"Don't think I don't dare. You have to know that a wizard who is forced to go crazy is a presence that everyone should be wary of. One thousand and eighteen!"

After some arguing, the price came to 4,100. The store manager refused to negotiate further, and seemed ready to just have a fight if the negotiations failed.

In fact, both sides knew that they were unlikely to fight. If they had no intention of trading, there would be no need to talk about it in the first place.

"Well, four thousand one is four thousand one, but with this noose, I think it will be quite suitable for decoration."

"make a deal!"

Finally, the two sides settled the deal. The old wizard gave the money to the other party and then put the cabinet and noose into a leather bag.

When coming out of the store, Sainz was still on guard against the other party's sneak attack, but he didn't expect that the other party was standing behind the counter without moving until he pushed the door open, and even gave the old wizard a professional fake smile when he turned around.

Yes, he still has some sense of contract. He has made preparations. Once the other party makes any unusual moves, he will directly use the Melon-Eating Curse to serve him.

Maybe the other party was really honest, or maybe the other party felt Sainz's determination. In any case, the final result was good.

The other party could probably guess that the old wizard was controlled by the burly wizard who left earlier. Since he wanted to buy the vanishing cabinet, it was most likely because he could match it, so he also knew the other party's determination to get it.

In this case, as long as the price is not too outrageous, the item in your hand should be able to be sold. But at the same time, because the other party is determined to get it, he is even willing to show him that the old wizard is under the control of the Imperius Curse. If you are too controlling in this situation and act as if you are determined to get it, it is possible that a fight will really break out in the end.

The two sides argued for a while with this tacit understanding, and finally reached an agreement.

It can be seen that Mr. Bock made a lot of money from the fact that he readily agreed to give a free rope.

From Sainz's perspective, he really doesn't care about the money, whether it's ten thousand or four thousand, as long as he can get the deal.

But like he said, he may not care about money, but he cannot allow himself to be taken advantage of.

After coming out of Borgin and Burke's, Sainz controlled the old wizard to walk slowly. He hid behind him, highly concentrated, guarding against the possible appearance of a "third party".

Aren't there many examples in the business world where someone smashes the signboard of their own store, and then appears outside the store as a third party to grab the goods back? It's a completely common practice.

After circling around a few more times, until the old wizard put the things in the designated place, turned around and left, no one else appeared.

He waited for a long time, but still no one else came. "It seems that the magic world is still very simple. Many of Sai's methods were not used. I always felt that I was fighting against the air..."

In order to prevent the items from being tampered with, he put the leather bag left by the old wizard into the regular briefcase he bought.

There was no one around, so he threw an unconscious white fat pig on the ground, changed the shape of another black fat pig, and put it on the pig.

Yes, he wanted to test the effectiveness of his anti-curse suit in Knockturn Alley.

A miserable green light flashed, and the black pig that was turned into a coat and draped over another pig instantly lost its vital signs. The transformation spell that Sainz cast on it was also broken, and it revealed its true form.

He succeeded!

He got a black pig carcass and a live white pig!

it works!

Defending against the Killing Curse, it's that simple!

Does it want to kill?

Give it a life and let it kill!

The next moment, another green light flashed, and this time the killing curse penetrated the black pig's body and killed the white pig below.

Clear!

Sure enough, a lifeless corpse can’t stop people from eating big melons!

Use the Vanishing Charm to deal with the two bodies and thank them for their contributions to the wizarding world.

As usual, he eliminated the traces of the illegal spell, emerged from Knockturn Alley invisibly, came to Diagon Alley, and Apparated from Diagon Alley back home.

Stepping onto the steps of the gate, "Jack, I'm back."

…………

Return to your own territory, let down all your defenses, sit down and enjoy a cup of fragrant tea to calm your excitement.

"Tom, I have something to ask of you." In the picture frame, Tom finished brushing Simba's fur, and it lay comfortably on the ground with its eyes squinted.

"What's the matter, Sainz?" After serving Simba, Tom was now placing his sharp rapier horizontally and wiping it with maintenance oil.

"Look, after school starts, I need you to help me keep an eye on a few rooms on the second floor, the ones above Filch's office, or even further away. There may be a cabinet there. If you see one, be sure to let me know."

"No problem, I remember it!"

Tom didn't ask him how he knew there would be a cabinet there, just as he had never asked Sainz how he knew so many things that others didn't know.
