Honkai Impact: As a captain, I reveal myself at the beginning

"Selling something?".

Listening to Levin's words, the old man's face immediately showed an expression of interest

"Aren't you Muggle-born? Where do you get the stuff to sell? Don't tell me there's Muggle stuff in it, I won't take it. "

"Whatever I am, you can rest assured. Levine patted his chest with a big grin, "I'm also an old customer, and I know that your rules are all products of the wizarding world." "

"Where did you come from...... Let's talk about the rules, and you have to talk about the rules. "

"I know, I don't ask where I come from. Straggy waved his hand with the cigarette and muttered, "If you don't say it, forget it, I can see it myself." "

After that, when you come forward, you have to open the box

But it immediately stopped.

"Oh, I don't see it, this box is also a good product. "

The old man looked at the box, his fingers caressing the lines on it

"This style, this processing method, this old leather, this trace of time...... Wait, you knocked this mark out today! A handmade Victorian leather trunk actually made you bump like this!".

Halfway through the touch, Strachki became annoyed by Levin's casualness with the antique, and glared at the boy angrily.

But the boy was obviously not afraid of him, and said in a casual tone: "Since you cherish the antique so much, then buy it quickly, lest it fall into the hands of me, an ignorant person, and spoil it." "

"Of course I'll buy it," snorted the old man, "but before then, I'll see what good you have, and I'm going to take an antique box to put it." "

As he spoke, the old man carefully opened the buckle and opened the lid

Inside was neatly stacked with a whole box of old books.

Cow and sheep leather covers, glue and thread bound pages, notched paper, and classic printed and handwritten letter ......

Straggy read them one by one and was surprised to find that these books basically have a history of more than 100 years:

"The Toadstool Tales", "Oops, I Lost My Feet", "Why Didn't I Die When the Bird Cried", "The Magic of Chadwick (Volumes 1-7)", "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "Gigley and Hawksbox", "Hogwarts: A History of the School", ......

All of them are wizarding books, and most of them are Hogwarts textbooks from a hundred years ago, such as "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" and "Hogwarts: A History of the School", which are all revised versions from a hundred years ago, and there are also students' notes written on them.

These books, including the Victorian chest, were carefully selected by Levine from the Room of Need.

The box is naturally for the convenience of stuffing,

As for why I chose a box of books,

That's because, Levine, thinks that selling books is the safest and most cost-effective.

Looking at the large garbage dump in the Room of Requirement, there are all kinds of waste products in it

Without wanting to be known, what Levine had to do was to ship the highest-value goods with minimal space and weight.

There's a saying

First of all, of course, magic items are worth more than normal items.

However, [Repair Charm] can usually only repair ordinary items, and if you want to repair magic items, you must be proficient in magic patterns and alchemy

That's something that Levin can't do at the moment.

Since this is the case, Levin can only settle for the next best thing and choose the more expensive of the ordinary items.

In this way, things like furniture, bottles and cans are excluded, they are big and difficult to sell

In addition to jewelry, the best thing to sell is books.

But jewelry and luxury goods are not easy for ordinary people to send to the room where they are needed

Even if you have to pick some out, it's not easy to sell them - it's easy to be mistaken for thieves.

But antique books are different.

First, antique books exist more widely, and they will not be used as thieves and stolen goods, so they are easy to sell.

Second, in the world of Harry Potter, the price of books is not cheap, and the cost performance is much higher than that of furniture.

Thirdly, Levin has a large database and copying skills, which makes it easy to repair even if these books are missing pages.

The entrance of the thrift store,

Straggy saw the old books from beginning to end, and from end to end

It was repeated several times until Levin became a little impatient, and then he raised his head and looked at the boy with admiration.

"Well, I don't see it, but you're really good at repairing. "

After a pause, he added: "Everyone is an acquaintance, so I'll just say it bluntly, your books are well restored, but most of them are old textbooks, so the market is a little narrow." "

"Therefore, a book can only give you 8 Galleons for the purchase price, and the box counts you 50 Galleons, what do you think?".

8 Galleons?

Hearing this price, Levin secretly thought,

This price is actually about the same as a new book, such as a fifth-grade Potions textbook that costs 9 Galleons.

If you sell these books as old books, then the price is very high

And if you treat these books as antiques, the price is lower

But considering that these books are shipped in bulk, it is difficult to find buyers, and the source is a little ...... A slight dip in the price is not unacceptable.

Levin thought for a moment and bargained: "I don't think it's as good as this, there are a total of 67 books here, one is 10 Galleons, and you can give me 700 Galleons plus the box." "

"Why don't you grab a copy for 10 Galleons?" Strategie suddenly became angry.

"It's only sold for 8 Galleons a copy, you're grabbing it!" Levine snapped at him.

After the two of them blew their beards and stared at each other for a while, Levine said, "Hey, Mr. Abraham, you can think about it, if this transaction is completed, I will come to you again with new business in the future." "

"And new business!?".

Hearing this, Straki's eyes lit up, and he nodded after silently calculating.

"Okay, deal, you kid. This time you have taken advantage of it. "

"You say yes, yes. "

Levin took the dragonskin pouch containing 700 Galleons and turned to leave.

Now that the deal has been sold, he doesn't mind letting the other party take advantage of the word.

"See you next time, Straki, and, Merry Christmas. "

"Merry Christmas Kid Green!".

After a hundred steps away from the thrift store, Levin's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction.

This time it's really rich.

Whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world,

Money couldn't be more important

He didn't want to go through that kind of poor life during the summer vacation.

Even if he doesn't care about external objects, studying magic is the most expensive

A little money in hand is good for life and research.

With the money, the first thing Levine did was to change his outfit.

Wizard robes, cauldrons, experimental equipment...... All replaced with new ones

He didn't even forget to buy Hermer a brand new cage and a delicious (for a Scottish round-faced fat chicken) dried rat.

Next came Christmas, and he had money again

This means that Hemer, who has been idle for half a semester, should also work hard for a few days.

For the rest of the day, he wandered Diagon Alley, trying to find out how to find out about the key materials that permanently belonged to the elixir.

The blood of a ream cow, the claw powder of an ocelot, the tip of the tail of a nine-tailed fox, the beak powder of a griffin, the paws of a bear, and the head feathers of a wildling.

In the end, he was helped by a few old acquaintances, Miss Hayden, the female clerk at the Fantastic Beasts Shop, and the two owners of Sluggiggs' Pharmacy.

As the largest magical animal shop in Diagon Alley, Miss Hayden's shop inevitably has some connection to poachers.

Miss Hayden revealed that there were indeed several groups of poachers in the East trying to find the mysterious creature of the nine-tailed fox, and they claimed to have clear information.

Hayden didn't think the other party could really catch the nine-tailed fox

This magical creature has the ability to consume its tail to cast mystical spells.

No matter what kind of desperate situation, as long as one tail is sacrificed, the nine-tailed fox can escape.

And the sacrificial tail can grow after decades of painting.

But as long as the poachers can get the nine-tailed fox to this point, it's easy to get some tail hair.

So Levine left Miss Hayden 50 Galleons and asked her to keep an eye on the news.

As for the owners of the Sluggiggs Pharmacy, they brought news of Rieem's blood

Although the annual output of this blood is small, they do have the right channels

After all, they also have backgrounds.

Arseny Giger's Magical Potions and Potions is Hogwarts' Potions textbook

Horace Slughorn was a long-time Potions professor at Hogwarts for 50 years (he was succeeded by Snape).

So Levine left 100 Galleons as a deposit, and he would be able to get a share of the blood of the Ream cow during the summer vacation.

Levin was very happy to get the news of two precious materials in one go.

But the remaining four are more slim.

Leaving aside the head feathers of the Owl for the time being, this thing has never been native to the Harry Potter world, and Levin can't expect the Owl to suddenly cross the world to come here like the Water Ghost.

The ocelot is a famous magical creature in the Americas

It can walk upright, run faster than an arrow, and its eyes are also said to have hypnotic and receptive powers.

An academy at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is named after it, and its hair is also the material for the core of the American Wand

Ocelot's claws are not a mainstream potion material

But since wizards in the Americas can get hair, they may not be able to get claws

I'll think about it when I'm free to go to the United States.

The bear is a magical creature from the East, also known as the bear, which is a terrifying creature that resembles a giant bear.

This thing is from the far east, and Levin can't get his hands on it for the time being.

The only thing that seemed slightly easier to handle was the griffon.

The griffin, also known as the griffin, is a magical animal native to Greece.

It is an ancient magical creature with giant eagle forelimbs, wings, and head, and a body, hind legs, and tail resembling that of a lion, and they feed mainly on raw meat and have a fierce temperament, but skilled wizards are also able to befriend it.

Once griffons were found throughout Europe and were widely present in the records of wizards of the time

But few people have heard of them these days.

Instead, they and their offspring from horses, Hippogriffs (also known as Hippogriffs), were widely bred by wizards as their replacement.

But magic materials are another matter

Hippogriffs can replace griffons as mounts, but they can't replace griffons as medicinal herbs for attribute elixirs.

Compared to ocelots, bears and owls, the griffon, although rare, is at least a native animal

So Levine decided to start with the griffons first.
