Chapter 454: Black eat black (1/2)
The crackling noise sounded without warning on the path leading to Hogsmeade. A man in a cloak emerged out of thin air. After looking around, he reached out and took out a mechanical pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it. At the time above, I walked along the path shrouded in twilight.
When the cloaked man entered Hogsmeade Village, the sky was completely dark, and there were lights flashing in the shop windows on both sides of the street. He walked on the main street for a few minutes, then turned to the sidewalk, and a noise came from the pig's head bar not far away.
The pig’s head bar at night is even more lively. Many wizards living in the gray area will come here to try their luck. It is not uncommon to encounter hawkers who smuggle, resell potions or sell other prohibited items in the bar. Rob the wizard as his deputy.
As long as there is anything you need, the bar owner can introduce you to a suitable seller or buyer. Selling drinks and acting as an inn owner have become his sideline.
As soon as the man in the cloak walked to the entrance of the Pig Head Tavern, he felt a lively atmosphere mixed with ale rushing toward him. He looked up at the bar counter, looking for the dragon egg smuggler who had agreed with him.
The man in the cloak did not see the agreed person at the counter, and the other party was late.
”Is that guy here?” The man in the cloak sat down at the counter and asked the barkeeper who was wiping the glass with a rag. The guy smuggling the dragon egg was the seller the barkeeper introduced to him.
”Jack hasn't come yet. You can wait a moment.” The bar owner glanced at the man who wrapped himself tightly in front of him, and asked indifferently, ”What to drink?”
”Whiskey,” the man in the cloak said hoarsely.
In fact, the cloak man didn't want to make this transaction in the pig's head bar, and was ready to choose a good place by himself, but the Mr. Jack insisted on completing the transaction here, so he didn't object anymore.
”He's late!” The cloak man's temper became a bit bad. He didn't pay attention to what happened to the **** smuggler, but he was very concerned about whether he could get the dragon egg today.
Soon after, a middle-aged man with thinning hair hurriedly turned into the pig's head bar. When he passed through the noisy crowd, he did not forget to greet others.
”Jack, what good stuff did you get?”
Most of the wizards who come here to drink often know this guy who likes to smuggle, and some people greet him with a smile.
”Sorry, I hope I didn't let you wait too long!” The man code-named Jack said to the barkeeper, but his eyes never looked away from the man in the cloak next to him.
”What do I want?” The cloak man asked impatiently.
”This is your cargo.”
Jack opened the suitcase in his hand, revealing the contents of the suitcase: a dragon egg.
”It took me a lot of effort to get it. The agreed Garon can't be less.” Jack closed the suitcase again and rubbed his fingers to indicate that it was time for the two parties to trade.
”it's here!”
The man in the cloak untied his money bag and threw it to the opponent, ”There is no shortage of one, but you have to pay for this glass of whiskey. Who made you waste a lot of my time.”
”Oh **** it, okay, this glass of whiskey is my treat. It's for Kanon's sake.” Jack almost smiled when he took the heavy purse.
He also handed his suitcase to the man in the cloak in front of him so that he could check the authenticity of the goods inside.
The man in the cloak took the suitcase and checked the dragon egg in the suitcase again.
”This is a very rare Norwegian Ridgeback egg. You are definitely not at a loss.” Jack said to the buyer while inspecting Garon: ”You only need to bake it on the fire and the dragon egg will hatch by itself. Wait. After it hatches, you need to feed it a bucket of brandy and chicken blood every half an hour.”
At this point, Jack's tone suddenly stopped, ”However, I need to remind you in advance that these things are hard to tame, and they are quite dangerous.”
”Do you have any other questions?” Jack asked after counting Garon, looking at the big benefactor in front of him.
”No.” The man in the cloak closed his suitcase.
