Planeswalker in Marvel

Chapter 76 Horace Slughorn

As night fell, Li Feng, who was wearing an all-black cloak, held a cup and a golden wildflower on his chest, and opened the portal to Hogsmeade Village.

After crossing the portal, Li Feng, led by Kreacher, walked into the 'Pig Head Bar', the place designated for conversation by the highest bidder for the basilisk.

At first, Li Feng was wondering why the other party was still talking in a crowded place like a bar when he clearly asked for a secret deal. Until Kreacher told Li Feng that it was very fashionable to hide one's face in the Pig's Head Bar, where most of the guests Wearing a hood or veil means that as long as you dress up, no one will recognize you.

In this regard, Li Feng said that he could not understand some weird behaviors in this world, and he had to hide his identity even when drinking. Is this because he was afraid that his wife would come to the bar in the middle of the night and pull her ears?At the same time, Li Feng thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand why Kreacher asked him to bring his own cup. He had never heard of people bringing their own cups when they went to a bar to drink. What was the difference between this and being asked to bring their own condiments when eating in a restaurant?Why don't you have salt at home?

Walking into the narrow and dirty bar, Li Feng's first impression of the environment inside the bar was not good. There was only one small and dirty room in the whole bar, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sheep. If Li Feng didn't like to eat Mutton, if you are used to the smell of mutton, you may have to kneel down and vomit as soon as you enter the bar.

Frowning, Li Feng looked at several rough wooden tables. Although some candles were lit on the tables, the light was still dim. Li Feng guessed that sitting at such a dim wine table, the person sitting opposite him drinking wine was probably a man. Women can't see clearly.

There was also a thick layer of dust on the floor and on the bar, especially the cups on the wine cabinet. Li Feng even saw a thick layer of dust inside the cups. It was no exaggeration to say that the original 400 ml cup was covered with dust. The cup can only be filled with 300 ml of wine now, because the remaining volume is occupied by dust. This is not drinking. Drinking dust is almost the same.

Li Feng touched his cup and said to Kreacher speechlessly: "Are you asking me to bring my own cup because you are afraid that I will have indigestion if I drink too much dust?"

Kreacher blinked his eyes and nodded silently: "This is one of the reasons."

Perhaps Li Feng came a little early and there was still some time before the appointed time. Kreacher walked into the bar and looked around and said, "Boss, Mr. Horace Slughorn hasn't come yet."

Li Feng frowned, helplessly found a dusty corner to sit down, ordered a cup of butter beer and waited for the buyer to attend the appointment.

If Li Feng remembered correctly, Horace Slughorn was a bald old man in the world of fat people. He was greedy for pleasure and vain in character. He liked to associate with successful and important people, but he was not a bad person at heart.

The reason why Li Feng was impressed by Horace Slughorn was because this guy was Harry Potter's Potions teacher in sixth grade. He could still make the 'Elixir' independently and use it without any care. The 'Elixir of Fortune' is given as a reward to a student who is a master of potion making and a rich man.

The 'lucky elixir' is a strange little magic potion that brings good luck to the user after drinking it, so it is also called the lucky potion.

In fact, the 'Elixir of Fortune' can only significantly improve the user's abilities in all aspects within 12 hours. In the end, it just feels like everything goes well, and it does not really bring luck.

But this effect alone is enough for Li Feng to covet, so when Li Feng was squandering gold galleons in Diagon Alley, he didn't think of buying a bottle of 'Elixir of Fortune', but the production process of this thing was too cumbersome, resulting in the 'Elixir of Fortune' is too rare, or it is snapped up as soon as it appears.

Li Feng might not be able to buy such a priceless potion for all the gold galleons he spent. Unless Li Feng was determined to sit idle in front of the potion shop every day, he might be able to buy it one day.' Felixir'.

In view of Slughorn's potion production level and collection of potions, Li Feng still attaches great importance to this transaction. The main reason is that Li Feng wants to ask Slughorn whether there are any potions in his private collection. There is no magic amplification potion. If the other party has such a potion, Li Feng doesn't mind exchanging it with the basilisk. Even if it is to add some weight, he must exchange it for the potion. For example, write down spells such as portal or mirror space on the exchange list. After all, what are these things compared to one's own strength?

As long as he has the strength, Li Feng dares to rob the gods of certain worlds.

After taking a sip of low-quality butter beer, Li Feng said that this thing is called wine?It's obviously a sweet and hot drink.

After swallowing the butterbeer in his mouth with difficulty, Li Feng ordered Kreacher to pour out the butterbeer and replace it with a glass of vodka or something else. When Li Feng noticed an indistinguishable man wearing a black cloak coming in at the door of the bar, A wizard wearing a golden wildflower on his chest.

Li Feng lowered his head and asked softly: "Kreacher, is that person at the door the person we are waiting for?"

Kreacher looked up and nodded.

Slughorn also noticed the golden wildflowers on Li Feng's chest when Li Feng paid attention to him. He walked quickly to Li Feng, glanced at Kreacher and then said to Li Feng in a low voice: "Hello, you are Os. Mr. Ding?"

Li Feng nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down, and whispered: "Yes, nice to meet you Mr. Slughorn."

Slughorn glanced at the dusty seat, looked around nervously, then patted his money bag to indicate that he had brought the money, shook his head slightly and said, "No, let me see the basilisk's body. , if satisfied, we will trade on the spot.”

Li Feng shrugged, stood up and said: "I can't carry such a big basilisk with me." Pointing to the door of the bar, Li Feng continued: "Shall I take you to the place where the basilisk is stored now?"

Slughorn frowned and thought about it. This was different from what he thought. Originally, he thought that the two of them completed the transaction in the bar, and then went back to their houses to find their respective mothers. He never expected that Li Feng would not be able to carry it with him. Basilisk.

However, Slughorn believed that he still had some strength, and he also brought some potions with him just in case. He was not afraid of Li Feng's tricks, so he nodded and said, "Is the basilisk in Hogsmeade?"

Li Feng smiled mysteriously as he walked out of the bar, and said confusedly: "Yes and no, you will understand if you come with me."

After a while, Li Feng led Slughorn to a corner and opened the portal to the basilisk chamber.

Through the aperture of the portal, Slughorn looked at the huge and fresh basilisk in the portal in surprise. However, considering the unfamiliar portal magic, Slughorn motioned to Li Feng to cross the portal first.

Understanding that Slughorn was worried that he would be disadvantageous to him, he shook his head slightly and crossed the portal and said: "Mr. Slughorn, you don't have to worry..."

Before Li Feng finished speaking, Dumbledore's voice came from the secret room: "Good evening, Mr. Austin, and Slughorn?"

Hearing Dumbledore's voice, Slughorn crossed the portal and opened his cloak first, and said with a little surprise and confusion: "Dumbledore? Are you also here to buy the basilisk corpse?"

Li Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw Dumbledore. After all, he was neither a student nor a professor at Hogwarts. Strictly speaking, he was still an alien invader. If Dumbledore had cruelly knocked him down on the spot, Li Feng would have nowhere to complain. .

The most important thing is that Dumbledore didn't explicitly say that he would pretend he didn't see him when he saw him at Hogwarts, which made Li Feng a little bit wise.

While maintaining the power of the portal so that Li Feng could escape at any time, he showed an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Good evening, Professor, why are you going out for a walk in the middle of the night?"

Dumbledore smiled at Li Feng and said, "Snape told me about how you protected him and Professor McGonagall very well last night, allowing them to let go and kill the basilisk," Dumbledore said. Bullido looked at the corpse of the basilisk and continued: "Please forgive the curiosity of an old man. I have only seen the basilisk in books, but I have never seen it in reality. When I learned that Hogg When there was a basilisk in Watts, I, who already had poor sleep quality, was even more curious and couldn't sleep, so on the first night when I resumed my position as principal, I couldn't help but come and see the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets."

After speaking, Dumbledore looked at Slughorn and said, "Old friend, from what you just said, do you think you are here to buy a basilisk?"

Slughorn frowned and nodded, and said: "The news I got at the beginning was that a house elf was conveying that his master wanted to sell the basilisk. Considering that the people who can have house elves are nobles with status, no would be a liar, so I thought the basilisk belonged to this Mr. Austin..."

Speaking of this, Slughorn looked at Dumbledore and said, "But from the consciousness in your words just now, it seems that this basilisk belongs to Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore turned his head and thought for a moment. It was not a wise choice to say that the basilisk belonged to Hogwarts. After all, Hogwarts was a school, and why would he want to keep an extremely dangerous basilisk on a campus?The Ministry of Magic has long wanted to intervene in Hogwarts affairs. Once it is publicly stated that the basilisk belongs to Hogwarts, doesn't this mean that the Ministry of Magic has an excuse to station in Hogwarts?Who knows if there are basilisks or other dangerous creatures in Hogwarts.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore blinked at Li Feng and said: "No, it is an intruder, but this is the trophy of Austin, Snape and McGonagall. Snape has already taken his share. But Mag didn’t take her share of the loot, so..."

Dumbledore pointed at Li Feng and said: "This Mr. Austin is only half the owner of the Basilisk."

Li Feng: "..." Ma Dan, Lao Deng is using Mag as an excuse to get benefits from me...

Seeing half of the benefits he had obtained fly away, Li Feng, who felt heartbroken, motioned with his eyes to Dumbledore to come aside and have a chat.

Dumbledore, who understood what Li Feng wanted to express, nodded slightly and signaled Slughorn to take a closer look at the product he wanted to buy, and then walked to the portal with Li Feng.

Before Dumbledore could speak, Li Feng pointed to the portal and said faintly: "I exchanged the portal with Professor McGonagall for the ownership of the basilisk."

The silent Dumbledore looked at Li Feng quietly, neither agreeing nor objecting.
