Chapter 425: Honor Bestowed
The Fairy Tale Workshop has made a name for itself.
This is beyond doubt.
Almost all the wizards who entered the shop were enthusiastically discussing this shop—it opened quietly, and then immediately sold some rare creations capable of changing the pattern of the entire wizarding world.
What is most memorable is that they couldn't grab any at all.
Loving but not getting, always makes people linger.
"Invitation system... seventy invitations will be issued for a limited time every month from now on; only guests with invitations can enter the shop that month..."
A wizard walked out of the Fairy Tale Workshop; this shop is far from as simple as they imagined—they are actually an invitation-only system!
He looked outside the door, where a bunch of reporters were blocking the place—the shop was enchanted with powerful magic, and reporters who weren't allowed to pass couldn't get in at all.
Even so, these reporters didn't dare to report randomly.
They only needed a little bit of insight to see that the person who went in was the head of the Information Collection Department of the Chocolate Frog Committee; what does this mean?
The last wizard this head interviewed was Dumbledore.
You can imagine that a figure similar to Dumbledore was staying in this shop.
And it is a figure who, to some extent, has the ability to rival Headmaster Dumbledore, but doesn't necessarily have Headmaster Dumbledore's character.
In the case of not being sure whether Grindelwald exists in the shop, no one dared to act rashly.
Xiang Xien had just walked out of the Fairy Tale Workshop when he was surrounded by the twins.
"Great Green, did you find out anything?"
Fred, wearing a top hat, asked impatiently.
"We saw you go in; what does this hostile shop sell?"
George seemed to have just finished working at the Wheezes shop; he wanted to go in, but found the Fairy Tale Workshop was closed.
This made him unable to understand, clearly the sun was shining, and it was only afternoon.
"Hostile... shop?"
Xiang Xien was holding a stack of books, all of which were Professor Qiluo's books on ancient runes.
He couldn't quite understand the twins' thoughts, because the customer groups of the two shops were completely different, so how could they be called hostile?
"Of course! Hostile—shop!"
Fred was absolutely certain.
Although he didn't know why Professor Qiluo and the Wei Silai twins were hostile to each other, Xiang Xien still explained:
"The Fairy Tale Workshop sells some cookies that can transform into magical animals."
This is news that will spread soon, and it is also news that Xiang Xien didn't intend to hide.
"Merlin—"
Fred shouted.
"We're going out of business."
George also shouted.
Xiang Xien, who didn't think much of it, walked away; he had to pack his luggage and prepare to leave the Burrow.
Tomorrow, Professor Marcus Marcus Maige will come to pick him up.
The flames of the fireplace flashed and disappeared, and Xiang Xien appeared in the cabin full of books.
Before leaving, he still had to go see the flying car. Fred and George originally promised to explain it to him, but they were indeed too busy these two days, so the time was pushed to this last day.
"Wait for me!"
Luo En ran out of his room; his room is located on the sixth floor of the Burrow, below the attic. Everything here looks like a dazzling orange-yellow, and the walls are covered with posters of the Chudley Cannons.
Fred and George kept their promise and returned very early.
They studied the flying car together until very late.
Life in the Burrow is always noisy and cozy; wizards use their magical abilities to the fullest, making their lives simpler and more efficient.
Xiang Xien spent a good time here, and more importantly, he finished his summer homework.
The next morning.
A line of sky leaked through the thick curtains of the room, cool and clear like diluted blue ink, the color between night and dawn. Everything around was quiet.
In the tranquility, the clinking sound of the Burrow's plates first sounded.
Xiang Xien and Luo En went downstairs together for breakfast, and found Mr. and Mrs. Wei Silai and Jin Ni already sitting at the dining table.
Jin Ni is a little witch who is easily shy; her image is infinitely close to the little McGonagalls.
It's just that she is more reserved; every time she quietly stands in the garden watching Xiang Xien command the gnomes to line up and eat the roots of plants in other places.
She listens to Xiang Xien talking about "sustainable development," "cannot drain the pond to catch the fish," and the like, not understanding but feeling it's profound.
Sometimes Xiang Xien practices transfiguration in the back garden of the Burrow, and at this time a head will grow on the window watching intently.
When the two went downstairs, Jin Ni accidentally knocked over her porridge bowl, making a loud noise.
But no one cared; everyone was a bit absent-minded.
Mrs. Wei Silai didn't hum today, and the twins were crying and howling, pulling Xiang Xien's legs and not letting him go.
Percy couldn't bear to look; he sat on the only remaining chair, but immediately jumped up, pulling out a gray feather duster that was shedding hair from under his butt—at least he thought it was a feather duster, and then discovered it was actually breathing.
"Errol!"
Luo En screamed.
He took the sickly owl from Percy's hand and pulled some newspapers from under its wings.
The headline of "Daily Prophet's Ten Years of Important Influence" wrote in big letters:
"Chocolate Frog Cards usher in a major update."
"Updated?!"
Luo En was very excited.
The biggest photo on the Daily Prophet was a Chocolate Frog Card.
Surprisingly, the portrait on this card only had a back view; under the only beam of light on the pitch-black card, this back view looked profound and full of charm.
Even more surprisingly—too young; no matter how you look at it, this back view came from an underage wizard.
"Let me see—"
Everyone at the dining table received a newspaper, and exclamations came one after another.
"Known as Hermes the Thrice-Great, the candidate for the greatest wizard of the 21st century recognized by the Chocolate Frog Card Committee.
His honors include:
Udala International Alchemy Conference Pioneering Contribution Gold Award, Transfiguration Today Century Special Invited (did not accept interview) guest, alchemy legend who seized the authority of magical animals.
Chocolate Frog Card Committee evaluation: It won't take too long, the silent alchemy world will eventually become the past. We congratulate, a genius capable of rivaling Master Nicolas Flamel has arrived (this evaluation was acknowledged by Master Nicolas Flamel)."
"Is what that old woman said true?"
Luo En found the previous issue of the Daily Prophet, and Rita's greasy and mushy evaluation appeared clearly.
The words "related to Hogwarts" made a crazy guess subconsciously appear in Luo En's mind.
He looked at Xiang Xien's back as he finished his meal and left the table; he couldn't say it was like, it was exactly the same.
"This wouldn't be you, Xiang Xien?"
He flushed red and finally asked it out.
Xiang Xien was silent for a while.
"I promise I won't tell anyone!"
Luo En seemed to remember something and added quickly.
Five updates or more every day at the beginning of the month.
Please, dear readers, vote for some monthly tickets at the beginning of the month.
Deer kowtows to you. (Antlers pressed to the ground, dong dong dong) ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
