Chapter 178 Cerberus
After entering the passage, the light here became even dimmer. If they were not face to face, they would not be able to see the appearance of the people around them clearly, and many people also consciously wore items such as cloaks that could hide their faces.
The waiter inside led Hagrid and the others to the private room on the second floor. Hagrid not only often bought magical animals himself, but also often bought them on behalf of Hogwarts.
Allen waited until the waiter left, then looked at the boy, "Did you bump into us on purpose?"
The young man looked at Alan blankly, bit his lip, and said nothing, as if he didn't understand Alan's words.
Little Nebula leaned over, "Googoo (Don't pretend, Alan is much smarter than you.)."
He winked at the young man meanly.
Allen quickly took a picture of Xiao Xingyun. If you continue like this, your family will be exposed.
The young man finally realized that he couldn't hide from the person in front of him. He said in Japanese, "This place is very dangerous. I can take you out of danger in exchange for your help."
Little Xingyun repeated what the boy said.
"Dangerous?" Alan frowned slightly and looked at Hagrid.
Hagrid shook his head, "I haven't heard of the news that the organizer here is black and white."
Seeing that the two didn't believe it, the boy said a little excitedly, "The danger will come in an hour, this is natural revenge."
It seems that this is the special talent of the other party.
Allen nodded, indicating that he knew it. Having studied the basic theory of prophecy, he knew that many prophecies are different for different people.
After all, the definition of 'dangerous' is different for him and this young elf.
Maybe the danger this time is some kind of opportunity, he looked at the shadow under his feet, Ghost Stone let out a fierce laugh, and then turned into a shadow and slipped away.
Xixiu also blinked happily at Alan, this time you let me do something bad!
"Pay attention to the timing." Allen reminded.
Then Xixiu let go directly, for fear that Allen would go back on his word.
"By the way, how did you get here?" Allen looked at the young man. If the other party was some kind of Japanese elf and appeared in the image of a child and a young man, then he might have been really lucky once.
"I was caught by an evil mage, but I did not bring him luck, but brought misfortune. He had no choice but to sell me to the people here, and after several changes of hands, I fell into the hands of the middle-aged man just now, becoming his pickpocket."
With Xiao Xingyun's translation, Hagrid also understood the boy's words.
"Lucky? Unlucky?"
His eyes were as big as copper bells. You must know that there are many magical animals that can bring luck, such as unicorns and geese that lay golden eggs, but these magical animals will be sold at sky-high prices without exception.
And it ended up being a pickpocket, which is unbelievable.
Because it's like farming with a golden hoe.
"Zashiki boy?"
The boy's eyes flashed when he heard the name, "I might be."
"maybe?"
Allen showed an interesting look.
In Japanese legend, zashiki boy is indeed a symbol of a little luck. The mages, that is, Japanese wizards, will imprison him at home to ensure the peace of the house and the prosperity of the population.
But this kind of luck is not permanent. Once the zashiki warji escapes, it will bring corresponding bad luck, and all the luck in the past will be transformed into bad luck in an instant, and it will become a real disaster that destroys the family.
This indeed represents the capriciousness of fate, but the Zashiki boy in front of him seems to be a little different. He will not bring luck from the beginning, so is this the result of his subjective will resistance?
After all, judging from his previous 'masters', none of them were the type he wanted to follow.
Hearing Allen's question, the boy showed a painful expression,
"I don't know. According to the legend of our country, the age and appearance of zashiki warji are all under six years old, and they will never be more than seven years old. And I seem to be a little too big. This may be the reason why I have caused misfortune."
Xiao Xingyun narrowed his eyes with a smile when he heard this.
[]~(￣▽￣)~*.
So it was an expired Zashiki-douji, and Alan couldn't help but turn dark. He looked at the system panel, but unfortunately all six of his Pokémon slots were full, otherwise he could directly check this strange expired Zashiki-douji through the system panel.
But now he can only rely on his own experience with magical animals. It seems that the system really wants to train himself to become a master trainer.
He looked at Hagrid.
The half-giant had also heard the legend of Zashiki Doji, but he didn't have any good suggestions for such a more specific matter for a while.
The host below has already started preparing for the auction.
Allen said to Zashiki Doji, "What's your name?"
"Mute." The boy said dumbly.
"Dumb?"
"It was given to me by someone else. We are spirits produced by undead children. After birth, we will forget the memories of our previous lives."
Having said that, the mute lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
"Alright then, just be honest now. If you behave well enough, I might agree to some of your requests later."
"Require?"
Allen looked at the mute with a half-smile, "Don't you want us to have a conflict with that middle-aged man? Isn't that your request?"
The mute was terrified for a while when Allen pointed out what was in his heart, "I see, sir."
He said this sentence in English. Obviously, after such a long time, he has learned some other languages by himself and can communicate with others.
The auction below has officially started.
Hagrid introduced to Allen, "The first item is usually used to warm up the scene. The price will not be very high, but it is unique enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, two assistants pushed out a huge box covered with red cloth, one person tall and two people wide.
The host tore off the red cloth, and the light shone on the box. In the blue water, a beautiful girl moved repeatedly in the narrow aquarium.
A pair of greedy eyes below looked at the girl. The other party was so magnificent and moving. The colorful fish scales on the cheeks not only did not look weird, but brought a strange sense of beauty.
But now she is completely surrounded by darkness, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a lamb on the dining table, ready to be slaughtered.
"Another elf?"
Hagrid frowned. He really liked magical animals, but he preferred their unrestrained life in nature. He thought the Forbidden Forest was a good living environment, so he kept the magical animals he found in it.
"There are so many fine trades here?"
Allen was slightly puzzled.
Fey creatures generally refer to those human-like magical animals that are born directly from various strange natural environments without sexual reproduction. Of course, some fine creatures can reproduce with humans, and the most famous one is Veela.
This population also exists in China, and they are usually called mountain ghosts.
The mute clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Recently, the greedy humans have reclaimed the rainforest, and they have caught a lot of spirits from it."
Allen silently looked at the wizards bidding below. Obviously, the warm-up 'product' launched by the organizer was very successful. Even though the spirits were not powerful and unique, they could still satisfy many people's bad desires.
"37 pounds of gold, twice, is there a higher one?"
The auctioneer looks around at the people around him.
Allen did some calculations, and now 37 pounds of gold is about four to five thousand Galleons. An ordinary wizard earns only two hundred Galleons a month. This is still a government employee with a decent job, while others, such as peddlers, earn even lower wages.
Therefore, the gap between rich and poor in the wizarding world is no smaller than in the world of ordinary people.
"Forty pounds."
Allen raised the sign and added three pounds of gold at once, which made him seem certain to win, and only then did he win the support of many bigwigs. He really has no shortage of gold and silver as the base currency.
After all, 20 years later, the group of people behind him will control at least [-]% of the ordinary wealth in the world.
"Forty pounds!" The auctioneer raised his voice. The hotter the opening, the easier it is for subsequent auctions to fetch high prices.
"Is there any other bids, sir?"
The people below were quiet for a while. After all, those who can be in the private room on the second floor are real local tyrants, and none of them want to compete with the local tyrants for financial resources on a "plaything".
"Forty pounds, twice."
"Forty pounds, three times, deal!"
After a while, a service staff came in, and Allen took out a full exchange ticket from his arms, "This is a bearer exchange ticket provided by Gringotts, and I will settle the bill together later."
The service staff respectfully accepted the mortgage redemption note, which contained [-] Galleons, "Okay, honorable sir."
After the opening, the auction items were brought up one by one. Just like what the mute said, many of the auction items this time were mainly of fine type, and even Alan saw a flame druid.
The opponent was not a druid formed after birth, but a product of some kind of nature, which symbolized the punishing side of nature.
With antlers on his face and raging flames burning all over his body, he was bound in place by magic chains, roaring at everyone.
This is a powerful helper. Allen looked at the druid. With a little training, the combat power will be very good. However, druids are all stubborn characters, especially this kind of natural druid. They will never violate their own teachings and even cause a lot of trouble.
"Two hundred pounds! Twice." The auctioneer shouted. He originally thought that such a tricky item would be dropped in his hands, but he didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high this time that even the flame druid could be sold.
He hurriedly struck the final hammer, "Three times for two hundred pounds! Deal!"
He took out his handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and announced loudly, "Dear gentlemen and ladies, the next auction will be carefully prepared for you."
"Are you still worried about the treasure house in the family? Are you still annoyed by those nasty thieves? But once you have it, you don't have to worry about these bad things anymore, because it is the caretaker used by the gods!"
"Let us welcome the star! Cerberus, the three-headed dog from hell!"
On the luxurious purple gold-edged cashmere cushion, a black three-headed puppy opened its eyes and barked menacingly at everyone below, "Wow!"
