Chapter 2317 (1/2)
The last time Su Ming went to Greenwich on the west end of New York, or met Tony's mother at Marvel's side, in that special era, the streets and alleys of this area were filled with hippies and poisonous insects, and there was a lively atmosphere of bars everywhere.
Maybe Greenwich, DC earth 0, had such a glorious time, but now it has entered the new century, and it has become a quieter place.
Or the form of art has changed, and it has become more bohemian, so that fringed curtains hang in the windows of bars and cafes on the roadside.
It's like the American version of ”Paris left bank”. Life here is very slow. Roadside shops sell all kinds of coffee, tea and drinks, as well as simple meals and cakes. If you buy one, you can sit on the bench beside the path for a day.
Literary and artistic youth are all like this. Even if they have only a few coins left in their pockets, they are willing to look at the leaves on the roadside for a day, just like thinking that their sadness and thoughts can shine like diamonds and what value they can sell.
In fact, art is very similar to opening a bar. They have to have their own style, atmosphere and charm, otherwise they can't last forever.
Deception is also an art, a dark art. Therefore, all kinds of magic shops in Greenwich street, except bars and cafes, have their own differences, so they can't stand.
Don't get me wrong. It's not Diagon Alley in London, nor Huaxi village at the foot of camara Taj mountain. Most of the magic shops here are ordinary people full of fantasy and fury.
They will travel here, enjoy avant-garde art and music, and then buy some local products to prove to their relatives and friends that they are fashionable and cool.
Even at night, the magic shop here is still open, and the lights are deliberately dimmed to create a variety of mysterious atmosphere.
Su Ming with a few people along the way, casually glancing at the situation nearby, has seen a large number of fake goods.
For example, the ”cursed monkey's claws” are actually made of silica gel; the crystal skulls of the Mayans are actually made of glass; where are the ancient fossils unearthed from Africa? I don't know, but it should be from last week that I heard the smell on the bones.
Even so, there are still people who pay for it. Tourists are still in an endless stream at night. What they want is not a powerful magic weapon, but a sense of curiosity and psychological sustenance.
The earth is not in a good condition now. Many people can't eat enough, but not all of them are living a miserable life. There are always some people who have the capital to continue to enjoy life. What is more attractive than the mysterious shopkeeper or the Gypsy Witch whose face is wrinkled like a walnut?
There is a big event in two or three days in the whole world. A lot of people die. When people find that hanging a cross at home doesn't work well, many people will come here to buy a Buddha statue or Indian dream catcher to go back, just for comfort.
So, although 99% of the shopkeepers who call themselves masters or fairies are fake magicians, they can make money. On the contrary, the only real sorcerer in the whole street has no business at this time.
A faint mist floated out from under the fence of the sewer and diffused in the corner close to the ground. A three story old house with a small garden in front of the door seemed to be connected with the fog.
Through the large French window, you can see that the room is full of lights, but there may be something wrong with the glass, because no one can see what is in the room.
There is a small signboard hanging outside the door, and there is no name of the store or business scope, but a purple X letter is painted on the gold background.
”I'm going to eat the cake from the house just now.”
