Chapter 536

The Green Bookstore opened not far from the Three Broomsticks pub; one could vaguely see the huge holly tree at the entrance of the bookstore, covered with colorful ribbons.

Jia Siting looked at the bookstore from afar, then looked at the stunned Xiang Xien, also stopped, and turned to gaze at the Three Broomsticks pub in front of him.

This was a small pub with warm light, and there was a notice board at the entrance, which read:

"Offering Butterbeer (signature), lemonade, hot mead, red wine, cherry juice, and soda."

"How about we go to the Three Broomsticks for a cup of Butterbeer? I've wanted to drink it for a long time."

There were ten minutes left until the opening time, he suggested.

"Okay."

Xiang Xien responded, and the two walked towards the pub.

Outside the pub, the biting wind made one's hands freeze, but inside the pub, it was completely different.

It was extremely crowded and noisy, hot, and filled with smoke.

A woman with a beautiful appearance and graceful curves was greeting a group of noisy wizards at the bar.

"That's Madam Rosmerta, right?"

Jia Siting said,

"Before opening the shop, I simply understood the wizards here... I'll go to the bar to get three cups of Butterbeer."

He left naturally.

Xiang Xien squeezed to the back of the pub, where there was a small empty table between a window and a beautiful holly tree, leaning against the fireplace.

And here, there happened to be a wizard with gray hair, ragged clothes, looking very haggard, pale, and tired.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?"

Xiang Xien said.

"Please feel free."

The tired and haggard wizard said.

He drank the Butterbeer quietly, pausing for a while after every sip, and then looked into the distance with tired eyes.

There, the Green Bookstore still had a recruitment notice posted.

The remuneration given by Jia Siting was not low, fifteen Galleons a week, which was quite good.

A wizard wanting to barely make a living could do it with ten gold Galleons. And just doing odd jobs in a bookstore could earn fifteen Galleons, which made this notice look very tempting.

Not to mention the store manager treatment—thirty-five gold Galleons a week, including food and lodging. Plus extra bonuses.

"Do you want to apply for the store manager?"

Xiang Xien asked.

"I am not qualified enough."

The tired wizard smiled and shook his head; he didn't expect his emotions to be so exposed, and that this little wizard could see it.

"You should apply."

Xiang Xien thought for a while and said.

The tired wizard laughed dumbly; this child had keen observation, but looked like someone who was not good with words.

Five minutes later, Jia Siting came, carrying three large cups of hot, frothy Butterbeer.

"Happy Wan Shengjie!"

He raised his glass and said with a smile,

"Sir, I wonder if I have the honor to treat you to a drink?"

Half of the wizard's face was hidden in the hood, but Xiang Xien knew he was surprised.

"Happy Wan Shengjie."
