Chapter 847

After the manager finished speaking, he left happily.

Xiang Xien saw him put on a pair of thick gloves, pick up a large gnarled walking stick, and head toward the cage door of "The Monster Book of Monsters."

"Sir, please wait, I already have that book."

Xiang Xien said.

"Is that so?"

The manager immediately showed a look of relief,

"That's thank goodness, I've been bitten five times this morning—"

A loud ripping sound tore through the air as two "Monster Books of Monsters" grabbed a third and tore it in half.

"Stop! Stop!"

The manager shouted, poking the walking stick into the iron cage, hitting those books to make them separate,

"I'm never stocking these again, never! It's such a mess!

That time we bought two hundred copies of 'The Invisible Book of Invisibility'—spent a huge amount of money, and later couldn't even find a shadow...

I thought there wouldn't be anything worse than that... so, do you need anything else?"

"Yes,"

Xiang Xien looked down at the book list and said,

"I need 'Unfogging the Future' by Cassandra Vablatsky."

"Ah, you've started taking Divination, haven't you?"

The manager said, taking off his gloves and leading Xiang Xien to the back of the shop, where there was a corner dedicated to books on divination.

A small table was piled high with thick volumes like "Predicting the Unpredictable: Insulate Yourself Against Shocks" and "Broken Balls: When Fate Comes."

"Here you go,"

the manager climbed the ladder and took down a thick book with a black cover,

"'Unfogging the Future.'

A very good guide, teaching you all the most basic divination methods—palmistry, crystal balls, bird entrails..."

As he spoke, he stopped himself.

Then both he and Xiang Xien's gazes fell on a crouching wizard.

Xiang Xien recognized it was Harry, who was holding a book and blocking their way, lost in thought.

Flourish and Blotts was crowded, and Harry had just been crouching there foolishly.

Xiang Xien keenly saw the book title: "Death Omens: What to Do When You Know the Worst Is Coming."

"Oh, I wouldn't read that book if I were you."

The manager looked at the book Harry was staring at and said to Xiang Xien lightly,

"After reading it, you'll see death omens everywhere, which is enough to scare someone to death."

He didn't speak quietly, but Harry didn't seem to hear, still staring at the cover of the book; on it was a black dog as big as a bear, glaring with a pair of shining eyes.

It looked so familiar...

The clerk stuffed "Unfogging the Future" into Xiang Xien's hand.

"Do you need anything else?"

He asked.

"Mm. 'Intermediate Transfiguration' and 'Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3'..."

Xiang Xien recited every book title on the list without missing one.

Then he stood quietly in front of Harry, isolating him from the crowd.

While the manager was getting the books, Xiang Xien incidentally found the young wizards taking books from various places, and finally, he fixed his gaze on a small "goblin" and a black dog it was leading.
