Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 207 The Hidden Market in Knock Down Alley

“London……”

Ulysses pondered for a moment, and asked aloud, “Do you know the specific address?”

“Of course, there are very few secrets in the British magical world that I don’t know.”

Rita Skeeter said immediately, a trace of contentment involuntarily appeared on her face.

Ulysses smiled, and did not comment on her self-confidence, but said lightly:

“Tell me the address, and then go back to Mr. Bode.”

…

Ulysses did not go back to the office immediately, but walked back to the office slowly after walking around in the Planet Room, Death Room and other rooms.

The Planet Room is a black house full of Planet, allowing the entrant to see the dreamy Universe and the blurred aperture surrounding the Planet up close.

When Ulysses couldn’t help but touch, Pluto suddenly exploded in front of his eyes.

The Death Hall is a bit larger than the Time Hall. It is dimly lit and square with a hollow center, forming a huge stone pit, about twenty inches deep. The stone steps surround the whole room, like a stone bench, the first-level first-level gradually descends, and each first-level is steep, like a lecture classroom.

There is no chair with iron chain in the center of the stone pit. Instead, there is a raised stone platform with an arch standing on it, which looks very old and dilapidated. There is no wall support around the arch, a tattered black curtain or a curtain hanging on it, although the air here is coldly, there is no wind, but it is gently swinging, as if it has just been touched.

There was nothing unusual, but Ulysses could feel that there was a looming breath of Death.

“Mr. Crocker, are you free now? I need you to go to a place with me.”

After entering the office, Ulysses walked to the desks of the two silent men and asked with a smile.

Both Bode and Kroc raised their heads in surprise, Bode’s brow furrowed slightly, and Kroc agreed without saying a word:

“Of course there is. The last thing the silent man lacks is time. Have you found anything else?”

“Not sure yet, so I have to verify it.”

Ulysses said, “Mr. Bold worked hard last night, so let’s take a good rest in the office.”

Bode was a little confused on his face, watching Ulysses and Kroc leave quietly, without making a sound.

“Where are we going?”

Crocker walked beside Ulysses, left the Ministry of Magic through the gilded fireplace on the eighth floor, stood on the street in London, and asked aloud.

“Knock Down Alley.”

Ulysses made a brief and concise sentence, and entered Diagon Alley through the Broken Cauldron Bar.

Having been a silent person in the Mysterious Affairs Department for so many years, he was almost isolated from the outside world except for commuting. Therefore, no one in the Broke Cauldron knows Crocker. Most people just took a look at Ulysses and Crocker. Continue to do own things.

“Knockdown Alley? That’s not a good place.”

Kroc frowned, but his pace did not slow down.

Ulysses turned into Knockover Alley in a familiar way, and the cold and gloomy breath made Ulysses feel a little familiar.

“Do you suspect that damn thief is the man in Knockdown Alley?”

Kroc subconsciously gathered his own wizard robe, and asked in a low voice. He hadn’t been here yet, he had only heard that Knockdown Alley was the gathering place of dark wizards, and now it seemed that this place really made him a little uncomfortable.

“uncertain.”

Ulysses said, taking Kroc to turn around in Knockturn Alley, passing some black magic item shops that he had contact with, and then into a dark alley.

Kroc opened his eyes slightly. In his eyes, this was clearly a dead end.

Ulysses came to the cold wall at the end of the alley without much hesitation. He took out a blood-red glass bottle from his pocket and splashed the blood on the wall.

The dark wall seemed to come alive, greedily absorbing the blood on the wall. At the same time, a gap cracked from the center of the wall, opening a path large enough for adults to pass.

“Let’s go.”

Ulysses greeted him and stepped in.

Rita Skeeter told him that there was still a secret market hidden in Knockoff Alley, and those who entered and exited there were experienced dark wizards. In order to make headlines, she quietly followed a mysterious dark wizard, turned into a beetle and fell on the brim of his hat and followed him in.

This wall is a stumbling block. If you want to open it, you must pour strong magical blood on it. It’s the same method as Voldemort’s Horcrux stored on the cliff in the sea.

In fact, this is a test for people who come to this secret market for the first time. If you don’t prepare it in advance, you can only make a cut in your own wrist.

Crocker was surprised, but he didn’t say anything rashly.

Working in the mysterious affairs department for so many years, there is no chance to contact the outside world, and now following Ulysses to such a mysterious and dangerous place, his heartbeat speeds up involuntarily.

Ulysses took out two black masks from his pockets, one on his face, and the other to Kroc.

When he was away from home, he became more and more aware of the importance of masks. Whether it is going to kill people or sneak in secretly, it is a good thing.

Crocker also understood Ulysses’ intention not to reveal his identity, so he took the mask and put it on.

After walking forward for a while, he reacted with hindsight. The people here wearing masks are nothing more than normal, and it is strange to expose their faces brightly.

Everyone covered themselves tightly and walked in silence without making any unnecessary sounds.

It is a bit like the underground black market in Paris. It is also a circular square. There are several dark roads around the square. There are many stalls on the edge of the square, and many strange objects and magic materials are placed on it.

“Mr. Crocker, let’s move separately first. Keep your movements hidden and try to pay attention to those wizards with abnormal movements.”

Ulysses said in a low voice beside Crocker.

“What, what?”

Crocker was dumbfounded, but Ulysses had already walked far to the left after speaking.

Kroc suddenly felt a little flustered. Although he has worked in the Mysterious Affairs Department for more than ten years, thinking about magic and spells in his spare time, his magic level at this time is already enough to be proud, but he has never had the experience of acting alone in such a dangerous place.

Watching Ulysses’s back disappear gradually, Crocker was taken aback for a while, gritted his teeth severely, and walked to the opposite place from Ulysses.

In any case, he was at least twice as old as Ulysses, and he felt embarrassed to expect Ulysses to solve everything.

Ulysses had already walked to a hidden booth, feeling the mark he had left on Kroc began to move, and smiled.
