Chapter 33 Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Venom, Dragon Heart, Lucky Day!
Diagon Alley at night is quiet and deserted, the bustling activity of the daytime gone.
On the street, the middle-aged black wizard led Charles to the entrance of a nearby alley.
The signs and warnings at the entrance of the alley have been temporarily removed, and at first glance it looks like any other ordinary alley, only a bit more secluded.
However, if some experienced wizards were to come here, they would probably turn pale at the sight of this alley.
This is precisely where all sorts of illegal transactions take place in the magical world, and where dark wizards frequently appear—Knockout Alley.
Some wizards who stumbled into this place left safely without seeing anything, while others escaped unscathed.
But some simply vanished without a trace.
At this moment, the middle-aged black wizard brought Charles here and was trying his best to persuade Charles to go in with him.
"Mr. Ciel, my family is waiting for Galleons to buy a wand and a robe for my daughter."
"You wouldn't want to see your future classmate, a pretty young girl, going to school wearing an old, worn-out robe that everyone would laugh at, would you?"
Charles shrugged and said quietly.
"Is it possible that in the future I'll be one of those who ridicule her?"
The middle-aged dark wizard choked for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.
"How could that be? Mr. Charles is kind-hearted; you are a good person."
Upon hearing this, Charles nodded in satisfaction.
"You still have good taste."
"Since you've put it that way, fine, I'll take the loss and accept your things."
Immediately, Ciel drew his wand.
The middle-aged black wizard was startled.
"Mr. Ciel, why are you taking out your wand?"
Ciel chuckled as he recited the incantation.
"The fireflies are twinkling."
A shimmering light burst forth from the tip of his wand, illuminating the path ahead.
He said with a smile.
"The road ahead is so dark, let me cast a glow spell to light the way."
"I've gone into this alley with you, you're not afraid of a little wizard like me, are you?"
The middle-aged dark wizard thought about it and agreed.
A mere wizard who hasn't even entered Hogwarts yet, who can at most cast a glow charm, how could he possibly be a match for a vicious dark wizard like him?
The little wizard would probably be terrified if he heard the words "dark wizard".
So he grinned and complimented Charles.
"Mr. Charles is indeed from a prestigious family. He can use the Fluorescent Spell so skillfully even before enrolling. His future is limitless."
Immediately, he led Charles step by step into Knockdown Alley.
Meanwhile, in the shadows not far away, Tonks witnessed this scene and overheard the conversation between Sharl and the dark wizard, feeling a surge of anxiety.
As an intern Auror, she naturally knew what kind of place the alley that Charles had entered was.
That's Knockout Alley, a place that most wizards in the magical world fear.
This was also the result of a compromise between the Ministry of Magic and the dark wizards, providing them with a place to trade, and the existence of anti-detection magic so that the dark wizards could cheat each other without any problem.
As long as no Unforgivable Curse is used, or any horrific experiments are conducted, the Ministry of Magic turns a blind eye and assumes nothing has happened.
After all, dark wizards have always existed in the magical world, and they can never be eradicated.
If a blanket ban were implemented, depriving them of any place to trade or make a living, then with so many dark wizards scattered throughout Britain, the Ministry of Magic would be overwhelmed.
Therefore, once inside Knockout Alley, due to the anti-detection magic, if Charles were kidnapped by these dark wizards, it wouldn't be so easy to find him.
These dark wizards went to great lengths to lure Charles here, so their intentions were certainly not simple.
With this in mind, whether out of his own mission or his innate sense of justice, Tonks could not stand idly by and watch all of this happen.
Immediately, Tonks drew his wand, ready to rush into Knockturn Alley to rescue Ciel.
But the next moment, a binding spell flew from behind Tonks and hit the unsuspecting Tonks.
The dark wizard who had been following Tonks all along sneered as he looked at Tonks lying on the ground.
"Idiot, you're so green, why are you trying to scout locations?"
"You're out of luck today!"
As he waved his wand, Tonks' wand flew to the side, and ropes wrapped around Tonks' body.
A look of regret appeared on Tonks' face.
She never imagined that she had already been discovered and was being secretly watched by the black wizard.
This is it, I'm doomed! Forget about saving Ciel, I might even lose my own life!
……
At this moment, Xia Er, who had entered first, had his retreat cut off by the middle-aged black wizard, while two other wizards draped in black robes appeared in front of him.
His eyes showed a strange look, and he asked in a low voice.
"Did you bring the things I asked for?"
The middle-aged black wizard behind him revealed a mocking expression. He didn't expect that Charles would not have reacted to the situation and was still thinking about taking things away.
The two black-robed wizards also laughed.
"I've brought it, I've brought it, our young master Ciel, please take a look."
Then, the two black-robed wizards took out two packages.
The package contained a glass bottle with a green liquid inside.
The other package contained a shriveled persimmon-shaped object, about the size of a football.
Charles narrowed his eyes, recognizing the two items, and an uncontrollable fervor appeared on his face.
That glass bottle contained the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider, and there was quite a lot of it; it was an extremely rare magical material.
That football-sized, persimmon-shaped thing was a shriveled Dragon Heart.
Although a long time has passed and it is no longer in a fresh state, and there is certainly no dragon blood left, the value of the Dragon Heart is still quite high.
These are precious materials that are very difficult to buy through normal channels. Apart from Flipped Alley, it would probably be difficult to find them even if you searched the entire Diagon Alley!
Charles licked his lips and said.
"A bottle of blood from an unknown spider, it's really disgusting, give it to Twelve Xike."
"And that too, tsk, dried-out animal entrails, you're offering that for me to buy?"
"Oh well, what can I do? I'm kind-hearted. It's just one Galleon."
"I'll take both of them together to make it a round number. I'll take both Galleons."
As he spoke, Charles took out two Galleons and smiled.
"You don't need to thank me; helping people in need is what we should do."
This time, apart from the middle-aged dark wizard who had previously witnessed Charles's true colors, the other two dark wizards were also dumbfounded.
"Damn, this is the venom of an eight-eyed giant spider, how did it become the blood of some unknown spider?"
"Twelve silver shicos? Do you even know how many galleons a pint of that stuff costs?!"
"And this is the heart of a dragon! How dare you call it dried-up animal entrails?"
"Only two Galleons in total? How can someone so young be so greedy!"
Charles shrugged.
"How can this be considered heartless? I warn you, you are insulting my character."
"If someone else had insulted me like this, I would have fought them to the end and demanded compensation for my emotional distress."
"But you're already struggling; if I do something like this, would I even be human?"
"I'm a kind-hearted person, so I don't need any compensation. Just keep your things."
The alleyway was silent and still.
The three dark wizards looked at Charles with a gnashing of teeth, as if a million alpacas were stampeding through their minds.
Is this what you call being kind-hearted?
This is simply money-grubbing!
The middle-aged dark wizard who brought Charles here could no longer bear it, and drew his wand, shouting angrily.
"You damned little wizard, parasite, vampire, how dare you claim to be kind-hearted! I've put up with you for far too long!"
"To tell you the truth, this is Knockover Alley. Heh, we tricked you into coming here. You didn't actually think we were going to deliver something to you, did you?"
"Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
Just then, at the entrance to Knockout Alley, Tonks, who was bound hand and foot, was dragged in by the dark wizard who had been watching him.
The black wizard said dismissively.
"I've got this idiot under control. He was still completely bewildered when I knocked him down!"
Looking at the four dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, Tonks's despair deepened. Even the Animagus disguise couldn't be maintained, and he reverted to his original appearance.
With her pink hair and youthful, beautiful face, she stood out in the alleyway.
When the four dark wizards saw Tonks' true appearance, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
"Well, we thought it was a man, but it turns out it's a witch?"
Several greedy eyes lingered on Tonks.
"Wow, that's really young! Did they just graduate from Hogwarts?"
"Tsk tsk, it must taste good. After we've had our fun, the parts on you can sell for a lot of Galleons."
"By Merlin, you truly favor us! Today is truly our lucky day!"
Hearing their chilling words, Tonks' eyes couldn't help but show a look of terror.
If she were to fall into that situation, she would rather be struck by a killing curse!
Just as the dark wizards were laughing triumphantly, Charles, looking at Tonks's changed hair color and appearance, seemed to see something that surprised him.
These characteristics make it impossible for him to be an Animagus.
This is an important material suggested by the Deep Blue system, which can significantly reduce the points required for subsequent deductions of Animagus Transfiguration!
Ciel had originally planned to go find Tonks later, but unexpectedly, Tonks was right there!
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"First it was the unicorn horn, then the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider and the heart of the dragon, and now there's an Animagus in disguise?"
"By Merlin, I don't know if today is your lucky day, but it's definitely mine!"
