Chapter 6 Make a friend
The shop owner, Bo Jin Blog, looked at Jiang Li's face and said slowly, "Madam, have you come to the wrong place?"
"I'm not in the wrong place. I'm here to sell things." Jiang Li said calmly.
She took out the heart armor she made, placed it on the counter and said, "This is alchemical armor that can effectively resist six deadly curses."
"Ma'am, this is a dark magic shop."
Borgin and Burke stared at Jiang Li with their eyes fixed, and their voice was as harsh and unpleasant as nails scratching on glass.
"I know." Jiang Li shrugged and said, "So you don't accept alchemical protective gear here? If not, I'll sell it somewhere else."
She stretched out her hand to take the thing back, but a pair of withered hands immediately pressed down on her heart armor.
"No, of course I'll accept such a precious thing." Borgin and Burke stared at Jiang Li's actions and said slowly, "But I have to prove whether this thing is really that effective."
"can."
Jiang Li released his hand and said calmly, "You can cast an evil spell at it to see if it can block your attack, but it will lose its effect after six times. You have to give me the money."
Seeing Jiang Li's relaxed demeanor, Bogin and Burke began to believe what she said.
He carefully examined the magic patterns on it, input magic into it, and felt a huge fluctuation of magic power, but this could not confirm the effect.
So Borgin and Burke cast a curse directly at the clothes.
If a person was hit, pus would definitely break out all over the body, but when his evil curse came into contact with the heart armor, it generated a layer of pale white film light, which directly dissolved his evil curse.
"It's a very sophisticated magic circle." Burke Borgin praised, "This thing can really resist most evil curses. I'll buy it for a thousand Galleons. What do you think?"
"Six thousand gold galleons. I won't sell it for less."
Jiang Li calmly reported a number.
She knows how to bargain.
"This is too expensive. The best protective equipment on the market is only 1,500 Galleons." Bock Borgin said dissatisfiedly.
The sinister face wrinkled even more terrifyingly.
"The power of my armor is no less than those protective gears, and those things can only resist one attack, but mine is different. Mine can resist six times and only costs 6,000 Galleons. It is really worth the money.
Besides, do you think an alchemist would only have this one work?"
Jiang Li said meaningfully: "I think we will have other cooperation in the future, right?"
Borgin and Burke were persuaded by her words.
If he was befriending a powerful alchemist, six thousand gold galleons would not be unacceptable.
"What you said does make sense. I'll give you 6,000 gold Galleons. Please give my regards to the gentleman behind you." Bock Bogin looked at Jiang Li and his attitude became gentler.
It’s just because I don’t smile often, and the muscles on my face are too stiff, so I look scary when I smile.
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Jiang Li did not explain.
After all, alchemists as young and successful as her are extremely rare in the world. It is just that she has seen a lot in her previous life, has high talent in this life, and is favored by the world, so she can quickly become a master in this life.
After the transaction was completed and the contact information was left, Jiang Li took the 1,000 Galleons and left. She asked Borgin and Burke to transfer the other 5,000 Galleons directly to her account at Gringotts.
One reason is that there are not so many gold galleons in the store, and another reason is that Jiang Li does not need so much money for the time being.
She was not worried that Borgin and Burke would default on their debt. After all, no one wanted to be enemies with a master alchemist, and business people were not that stupid.
As soon as he walked out of the black magic shop, Jiang Li felt those familiar eyes on him.
With a calm expression, she walked into a remote alley, where it was pitch dark and filled with a damp and chilly atmosphere.
Jiang Li was about to keep walking when suddenly two wizards wearing ugly masks appeared and blocked her way.
She paused slightly, turned around and looked back, and sure enough, there were two dark wizards blocking her retreat.
It seems that he is a habitual offender, or it is a gang crime.
"Hand over everything you have, and I might be able to spare your life."
The black wizard wearing a skull mask looked at Jiang Li with evil eyes and made strange noises.
"Don't waste so much time talking to her. Be careful, she might Apparate away."
One of the black wizards warned loudly while firing a "stun" spell at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li tilted his head slightly to avoid the spell, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This world seemed more interesting than she had imagined.
She had been a sword practitioner in her previous life, and had perfected her sword techniques and body movements. The speed at which these dark wizards' spells were cast did not seem very fast to her, and she thought she could easily dodge them.
Seeing her avoid the spell, the other three dark wizards fired evil curses at Jiang Li.
I don’t know what went wrong. My spells, which usually work very well, miss the target every time.
Seeing that Jiang Li was getting closer and closer to them, several dark wizards became anxious and directly used the killing curse.
"Avada Kedavra!"
The moment the spell came out, Jiang Li's eyes became sharp. He took out his magic wand and fought back, casting a killing curse on one of them.
The dark wizard who was hit died instantly. When other dark wizards saw this scene, they began to get scared and wanted to escape.
"Quick confinement."
"Everything is petrified."
Jiang Li directly fired two spells, hitting the other three people.
The three dark wizards stood there in strange postures.
"Collapsed."
Jiang Li chanted a spell again, watched them fall to the ground, and walked over calmly, tapping the magic wand gently in his palm, wondering whether to send these people to death. After all, they didn't look like good people.
To be honest, she felt that this world was too inconvenient. In the world of cultivation, killing and looting were common things, and it was generally okay to be killed by someone who was not as skilled as the other person. However, it was different in the magic world, as the Ministry of Magic would investigate the cause of death, which was more troublesome to deal with.
"Everything is forgotten!"
In the end, Jiang Li spared the lives of these three people and directly tampered with their memories, making them think that they attacked each other because of an argument over the uneven distribution of the spoils.
After doing all this, Jiang Li also searched through the belongings of several people and actually found a lot of gold Galleons and precious magic items.
It is estimated that these people had just finished robbing someone and had not had time to get rid of the things they had taken when they met her on the road, intending to rob another person. Unexpectedly, they met a tough guy and were killed by her.
Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh as his pockets were stuffed full after using the No Extension Spell.
No wonder these people like to rob, they really make a lot of money. These things are enough for her to buy materials for ten alchemical armors.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Li began to study alchemical items related to communications.
There are not many magical communication products on the market now. She has heard of two-way mirrors, but they are very expensive and have various limitations in use. They are not as convenient as Muggle phones.
After tinkering with it for a few days without any clue, Jiang Li decided to relax and go out to eat some delicious food nearby to change his mood.
A Chinese restaurant recently opened up on the street, and the Kung Pao Chicken they serve is delicious, a bit like the dish her chef once made for her.
She has an outstanding appearance, with light golden hair like moonlight, eyes as gentle as the blue sky, a delicate nose, and bright red lips. She wears a dark red dress and a beige coat, which makes her look gentle and charming. All of this attracts the attention of passers-by.
She felt that more and more eyes were glued to her, and some men even approached her to chat with her. Jiang Li used a confusing spell to make those who approached her forget their purpose and stay away from her.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Li began to wonder whether he should buy a house-elf. There weren't many good restaurants in this place, and there were too few seats for the restaurants with slightly better food, so one would have to wait.
She drew the collar of her coat together and exhaled. The gas quickly formed a white mist, which was particularly obvious under the light. The brown leather boots under her feet made a rustling sound as they stepped on the snow, leaving a series of clear shoe prints on the street.
Feeling someone was watching him, Jiang Li stopped and looked under a tree not far away.
A man wearing a brown leather jacket, with a full beard and messy hair, looked at her face greedily and walked towards her quickly.
She was a wizard, she cast a Confusion Charm, so the Muggles couldn't see her.
Jiang Li immediately pulled out his wand and pointed it at the man. A dangerous green light burst out from the tip of the wand and his eyes were cold.
The man sensed the dangerous aura coming from Jiang Li and realized that this was a powerful witch. His mind instantly became clearer and he said in a friendly manner, "Are you a wizard too? I'm Greymondo Rosier. Don't be so nervous. Maybe we can be friends."
