Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 224: Spell Attack
Unicorn horns are becoming increasingly rare in the British wizarding world.

Even though everyone knew that there was a group of unicorns living in the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts, no wizard would go and hunt them.

All wizards know that hunting unicorns brings an evil curse that cannot be broken.

The Ministry of Magic has also enacted relevant laws to protect this species.

Another point is that if a unicorn dies of natural causes, ordinary people will not be able to find its remains.

Because when a unicorn feels that its life is coming to an end, it will leave the group and find a deserted place to die quietly.

That's why the owner of Slag said that he hasn't received a whole unicorn horn in more than ten years.

"Mr. Scarlett."

The owner, Slag, straightened his collar and sat up straight. Only then did he regard Moon as an equal customer.

"Before purchasing it, I'd like to ask, was this unicorn hunted?"

"Of course not, it was a natural death."

This unicorn horn comes from the Bailey family, who raise this magical animal in captivity on a small island.

Because the island is not particularly large, even if this animal chooses to die alone, its body will be easily found.

"Oh, I'm relieved then."

As the shopkeeper Slug spoke, he carefully examined the horn.

Although it has been separated from its owner's body, it still emits a faint silver-white light.

"The color, appearance, and hardness are all good. It weighs 13 pounds. I'm willing to pay 900 gold galleons for it."

Because unicorn horn materials are relatively scarce, the owner of the shop, Slag, added 100 gold galleons to the original purchase price.

"No problem, you can take a look at this first, and then we can calculate the price together."

Just now, when the shop owner Slag was examining the beast's horns, he cast several spells that Moon couldn't understand at all.

Similarly, it let him know that the shop owner in front of him should be quite capable in testing medicinal materials.

In this way, he can take out those precious materials with confidence.

Moon said as he took out a small wooden box from the suitcase again, but the lid of the box was just half opened when the big hand of Slag, the owner of the shop, pressed it down directly.

pat!

The box was snapped back on.

"Don't open it here, let's go to the back room and talk."

Slag's face flushed as he spoke, and his eyes looked around, afraid that someone would eavesdrop. Even his tone trembled.

"John, watch over the shop while I take Mr. Scarlett to the back and show him the potion ingredients."

"Okay, Dad!"

Passing the busy counter and walking down a long corridor is the Slag family's reception room.

As soon as Moon sat down, a house elf wearing the same green clothes as the teller in front came out with hot tea.

"Master, please have some tea."

"Thank you, Artemisia. Please prepare a cup for Mr. Scarlett, too."

As the owner of Slag said this, he turned and looked at Mu Wen inquiringly.

"Tea will do."

"Okay, prepare a cup of tea too."

"According to the master."

Watching the house-elf leave again, Moon looked thoughtful.

Because Moon wakes up very early every day to study at Hogwarts, he often encounters house-elves cleaning in the morning.

They all looked similar, and whenever they saw Moon studying, they would stay away. Later, in order not to disturb Moon's study, the elves even chose to clean earlier.

But these are not the most important things. Moon found that the elves of the Slag family seemed to be very loyal.

Moon rarely encountered someone using the term "master" even in another backward world.

After serving the tea, the house elf named Artemisia was assigned by the owner Slug to guard outside the door and prohibit anyone from entering.

Shortly after the elf left, the excited roar of Slug's owner was heard in the room.

"Merlin's beard! I never thought I'd see it again in my lifetime."

Watching Moon open the wooden box and place it on the coffee table.

Shop owner Slag walked around the box several times as if he had seen a treasure.

Finally he put his face against the box and examined it carefully.

"That's right, the snowberry. It was completely destroyed by those Indian wizards who practiced yoga magic. I even sold the last one at auction."

As the owner Slug said this, he found a pair of clean white gloves, picked up the snow berries and placed them in the palm of his hand.

"It's lost quite a bit of moisture, Mr. Scarlett. You should store it in an ice box so the potency doesn't diminish. But it's not too late now."

After Slug finished speaking, he took out his wand, drew a stream of water from the teacup, and immediately cast the [Freezing Spell] to create a red ice box.

There is a small groove in the ice box, which is just right for the snow berries to fit in.

After doing all this, Slag carefully put the ice box back on the coffee table.

"Mr. Scarlett, I have to say that what you have brought out is truly astounding. I am willing to buy it for 3000 Galleons. Is that acceptable to you?"

Slug didn't look at Moon while he spoke, but kept staring at the snowberries on the table.

"3000? No problem."

Moon was actually a little shocked by the price. He never thought that such a small fruit could be sold at such a high price.

This is already much higher than fire dragon blood and fire dragon eggs.

Moon received 5 of the same snowberries from Bailey Lynn.

"Also, this is Slug & Ziggs's gold card. If you want to sell materials next time, just come to me. With this card, you can get a 7% discount on all materials you buy."

The Slager family has run a pharmacy for over 300 years and has a thorough understanding of some potion ingredients.

The current owner is far superior to his ancestors in this regard, so Slag knows very well that once a snowberry is discovered, there will not be just one.

This very short, snow-white plant grows on snow-capped mountains, and when it is found, it is usually found in clusters of more than a dozen connected together.

Giving it to Moonjinka is also to obtain more materials in the future.

"Thank you so much."

Moon readily accepted the gold card.

Although it was unlikely that he would buy herbs here, if he wanted to sell materials from another world in the future, coming here would be a good choice.

After agreeing on the final price, for the convenience of transfer and security considerations, Slug took Moon to Gringotts Bank to open a private account.

When Moon came out of Gringotts Bank again, his net worth had reached 5000 gold galleons.

Of course, Moon did not put all the gold galleons into the underground vault, but carried a lot with him.

After saying goodbye to the owner Slug, Moon quickly came to the Nimbus Racing Broom Company's shop.

Harry had actually been coveting the Nimbus 2000 for a long time, and this time he finally had the chance to get it.

For 150 Galleons, you can buy a broom that can reach speeds of 100 miles per hour, can make 360-degree turns anywhere in the air, and is used by professional Quidditch teams across Europe. It is a very good deal.

After paying the bill readily, Moon just walked out of the store door when a curse suddenly struck.
