Chapter 95 Diagon Alley: Braun Sells Pirated Books?
"Ding!
Sign in successfully, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in for one year. Get a special reward [Soul Soul Fruit]"
"Soul Soul Fruit?"
Looking at the fruit that appeared in his hand, which was about the size of an apple, with stripes twisted like grimaces on it.
Braun was visibly taken aback.
If he remembers correctly, this should be the fruit of the aunt in the Straw Hat King.
Can be given to extract souls.
It can be regarded as a very powerful devil fruit.
TEG/FO=TAM
Powerful people cannot extract souls and can only deal with weak minions.
Braun didn't pay much attention to that.
How the fruit is mainly depends on how the user develops it.
Just like the protagonists of those fan fictions I read in my previous life.
A human fruit can develop any kind of bioelectricity, and the body is the universe. One person explodes the world.
He thinks he is no worse than those people.
Maybe some new ability can be developed, maybe that.
Without any hesitation, Braun bit down the ugly apple-sized devil fruit in one bite.
"vomit..."
"Master, are you okay!"
Outside the bedroom, Dom asked nervously.
Trying to open the door and running around in a hurry because there was no order from Braun.
"It's okay, prepare breakfast for me and I'll go down to eat later!"
Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Braun shouted towards the outside.
I have to say that the taste of devil fruit is really more devilish.
The taste is like swill that has been fermented for more than ten days with stinky meat.
As for why he knew, it was of course because of the experience of those ten days in the wolf den.
In order to avoid the effect of taking a bite, he ate the whole thing in his stomach just now.
Now try the effect of the fruit.
Carefully feel the power of the fruit.
The things in front of his eyes began to change.
It is no longer the color "930" but has become black and white, only some items are attached to this color.
He can feel that the colorful thing seems to be the soul.
"Soul Extraction!"
Almost without the slightest resistance, a faint light cluster appeared in his hand.
If you look carefully, you can find that it seems to be a goblin-like soul.
And as the light cluster was pulled out, the floor mirror, which was originally very attentive, lost its activity in an instant.
Stand still like a dead thing.
"So that's the case. I didn't expect the soul that was bestowed can be extracted."
Braun carefully observed the mirror that had been modified by himself.
Whether it is the alchemy circuit or the mirror itself, there is no problem.
The only thing missing is the soul that controls the mirror.
"Soul endowment."
The ball of light in his hand was stuffed back by Braun again.
The alchemy circuit that had been stagnant started to work again.
"Oh! My dear master, your beauty makes me..."
"To shut up!"
"OK."
Looking at another honest floor-to-ceiling mirror, Braun was a little speechless.
Sure enough, it would be better for this talkative mirror to be quieter.
Otherwise, this broken mouth is really annoying.
After getting dressed, Lawn tidied up and went downstairs.
Breakfast is ready.
Maybe it's because I just ate the devil fruit.
Seeing these foods, Braun didn't have much appetite.
After eating casually, Braun put down his fork.
"Dom, join me today in pairing the sockets."
The letter from Hogwarts arrived last night.
It records what they have to prepare for this semester.
Among them are seven books by Gilderoy Lockhart.
He eventually became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
He didn't go to Diagon Alley to buy the other party's book.
He had already bought those books in advance.
What he wants to do is another business.
"Cassatt, how is the matter I gave you yesterday?"
On the sofa, Braun looked at Cassatt and asked.
The other party handed over a book respectfully.
"Master, this is your order.
Together with the Muggle servants, I found a printing factory to control the director there, and then gave him a potion of amnesia.
Guaranteed nothing goes wrong.
It's just that the screen above doesn't move. "
Braun took it.
It's "Sailboat with Vampires"
The outer cover is made of thick cardboard, and only the title of the book is stamped on it, but the binding is still very beautiful. .
Open the cover, the light yellow paper is somewhat similar to parchment.
There are no changes in the content, but the pictures will not change.
In addition, whether it is printing or exquisiteness, there is no difference from the original book.
Nodding with satisfaction.
Braun put the book down.
"We printed more than a thousand sets in total close to 10,000 copies.
Originally, the copy spell was used, and it should have disappeared by now to ensure that no copy will be left.
Even those scraps were taken away by me. "
"Very good, Cassatt! Take these books and go to Diagon Alley with me later."
Braun patted Cassatt on the shoulder very satisfied.
That's right, he's going to sell pirated books!
Anyway, the experiences in these books were also stolen by Lockhart.
Of course, it's nothing to take his book and print it.
And he didn't plan to keep the money from selling books and use it to those who were cheated by Lockhart.
Stand by Dom's side.
I only saw the other party snap their fingers.
Then when Braun opened his eyes again, he was already standing in Diagon Alley.
It's that time of year again.
The flow of people in Diagon Alley has once again increased significantly.
The sound of selling and playing is endless.
The sudden appearance of the three of Braun was no surprise to other wizards.
At most, he was surprised by the house elf, thinking that it was some pure-blooded young master who came out to hang out.
On the contrary, the eyes of the freshmen who might have just entered school widened in surprise.
Don't understand how Braun managed to show up here all of a sudden.
And what kind of creature is Dom next to Braun?
I haven't waited for these little wizards to gather around and ask more questions.
Braun called Dom and Cassatt to leave.
He has no intention of being a monkey here.
Entrance to Diagon Alley.
Three tall Zulu men stood here.
And in front of them was a black cloth covered with all kinds of exquisite books.
Yes, this is exactly the Braun trio.
They didn't drink the compound decoction. The reason why they were able to become another person was thanks to the alchemy items on their bodies.
This is a remake of the mask that Braun participated in the last auction.
The effect is no longer to conceal one's identity but to change one's appearance into another person.
He called it mimicry.
The only disadvantage is that once it is attacked by magic, it will be exposed immediately.
"Look, look, look.
Clearance Sale! Still worried about not being able to afford a book?
Are you still worried about your children not being able to afford textbooks?
The new work of Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous writer in the magic world! Not five Galleons, not three Galleons! Only one Galleon and seven textbooks to take home!
What are you waiting for, the quantity is limited, hurry up and buy it!"
Next to the booth is a tape recorder.
Inside, Braun's pre-recorded voices played on a constant loop.
It attracted the eyes of all the wizards around.
"Is your book really that cheap?"
A group of redheads who just came out of the tavern surrounded them.
Looking at the books on Braun's stall is full of curiosity and suspicion.
"Of course, ma'am! The books here are very cheap! And there is no difference from the original book, it is definitely the best choice for students' textbooks!
And you can check for yourself that none of them were made by the copying spell. "
Braun smiled and handed over a book on the stand.
Mrs. Weasley accepted it with some doubts on her face, and was obviously relieved after some investigation and found that it was indeed not the copying spell.
Started to look through it.
The same is true for several Weasleys around.
"Why don't the pictures in your book move!"
A young man pointed at the pictures in the book suspiciously.
A few redheads around also apparently noticed the problem.
Braun didn't panic, though.
He lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Do you know how my book came about?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"I bought these books from those booksellers without adding developing potions! Why do you think they are so cheap?
These illustrations are useless, and you won't use them in class. "
"But aren't you a pirated version?"
Percy said with some hesitation.
Braun stared, as if in disbelief that Percy had said this:
"How can this be considered pirated! What we need is the above knowledge.
Knowledge is not pirated.
A set of books in the bookstore costs thirty-five galleons, and seven of them here are only thirty-five times less than one galleon!
I'm risking my future for my children.
Let those students who can't afford books also have books to read!
You actually said that I was a pirated version! You are slandering my innocence out of thin air!
Forget it, it’s hard to be a good person, if you don’t want it, just go away!”
Braun gestured for the book.
Mrs. Weasley's originally tangled mood disappeared instantly after hearing Braun's words.
There is nothing wrong with what people say, knowledge is not pirated.
And the difference is thirty-five times!
There are many children in their family, even if several people share one set, they need at least three sets of books.
These books are not second-hand, which means that just buying the books costs more than 100 Galleons, which is not other things.
Her husband is only fifty Galleons a month, and she has no job.
This cost is not a small amount.
With the money saved for the book, the younger son could buy a new wand.
Daughters don't have to wear old robes either.
Isn't it worth buying those books?
"I'm sorry sir."
Mrs. Weasley apologized hastily.
Then he looked at his son with a straight face.
"Percy, hurry up and apologize!"
"Sir, you are very right! I agree with your philosophy very much! You are such a kind person!"
Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.
Nice words don't need money to come out of your mouth.
Braun then pretended to be reluctant and waved his hands:
"Forget it, I don't care about a child......
Do you still buy these books?"
"Buy! Of course! We'll buy five sets!"
Mrs. Weasley said grandly.
Five sets are only five Galleons, each child has one set, and don't borrow books from each other
up.
While talking, he handed over five Galleons.
Braun only took four Galleons.
See Mrs. Weasley puzzled.
His big air:
"This is our first business today, we will give you a set for free!"
"Merlin! You are a generous man!"
Mrs. Weasley happily put away a Galleon.
The five children excitedly held their books and continued walking towards Diagon Alley.
Perhaps it was the reason for the completion of the first business.
The other parents who were still watching around also came over.
And as more and more people gathered around the booth.
Some wizards around became more and more interested.
In this way, some have one set and some have two sets.
However, it sold almost 500 sets in an hour.
No way, because Braun's book is too cheap.
Even though these people knew it was a pirated copy, they bought it tacitly after finding that there was nothing wrong with the content inside.
It took about an hour to sell.
Seeing that the crowd had almost dispersed, Braun then ordered the two people to continue selling, and if they encountered patrol personnel from the Ministry of Magic, they should retreat quickly and not stay.
He removes his disguise.
Walk towards Lihen Bookstore.
Lihen Bookstore.
Lockhart, who was waiting for the signing, was almost frozen with laughter, but no one came over.
If it weren't for many witches watching him screaming and shaking hands.
He almost wondered if he was unattractive!
The manager of the bookstore, Mike, was also very puzzled.
There are quite a few people buying books in the bookstore.
But why buy books on other subjects?
I'm here to buy textbooks for Defense Against the Dark Arts class!
This is what he put in a lot of effort to get in, just waiting to make a fortune.
How can he make money now that he is buying textbooks that are not profitable?
The son is about to be born, but the money for milk powder has not been settled yet.
Also, why are these people holding a stack of books in their hands!
He also looks mysteriously and doesn't show it to him!
mean!
"Mr.......Mr. Roll, hello, what book do you need?
Is it for the second grade textbook?
For example, the textbooks of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, if you buy it now, you can also get Gilderoy Lockhart's signature!"
Seeing someone entering the store, Tom hurried over to say hello.
After discovering that the person who came was Braun, his expression became more respectful.
Now Braun can be regarded as a household name in the wizarding world.
The Daily Prophet reported extensively on this alchemy genius.
It's hard not to know.
"No, I bought it some time ago."
Braun waved his hand.
Mike seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly straightened his mood again.
Even if the other party does not buy the book, it is still publicity for the bookstore.
You must know that the bookstores on the street are not just Lihen Bookstore.
A genius like Braun has a good attitude no matter whether the other party buys or not.
"Then do you need anything else?
There are other books in our bookstore.
There are also a lot of alchemy, even if it is a lonely copy, we have channels to get it. "
Braun casually strolled 3.8 in the bookstore.
Look left and walk around.
"I want some books about travelogues, and of course those stories.
Common plant illustrated book and animal illustrated book are also required. "
Hearing this, Mike was refreshed.
Although these types of books are relatively cheap, but judging from each other's appearance, it is obviously not one or two.
"Then how much do you need?"
"One hundred books first, half of travel notes and stories, and one illustration book each.
By the way, can you deliver it to our family's manor?"
"Of course, of course, there is no problem!"
Mike agreed excitedly.
This is a big deal.
A hundred books cost at least three or four hundred Galleons.
He could get at least twenty Galleons if he sold them all.
"You can calculate the money and go directly to Gringotts to get it."
Braun pulled the wax seal out of his pocket.
Stamp the book purchase contract.
This is regarded as a certificate representing the transaction.
Wandered around the bookstore for a while.
Waiting left and right still did not wait for Malfoy and his son.
This puzzled Braun a little.
Is it the wrong time for you to come?
But all the Weasleys came.
But Malfoy?
Or did they stop buying books at the bookstore because they sold the book to the Weasleys.
So the conflict didn't happen?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Braun stopped wandering around the bookstore.
He left the bookstore under the watchful eye of the bookstore manager Mike.
Ollivander's Wand Shop.
The Weasleys all gather here.
Ron waited excitedly for his sister to choose the wand.
Because it will be his turn later.
He has been using his big brother's old wand, and the family planned to change it this year.
But because Lockhart's book was too expensive, the plan was postponed until next year.
Who knew that another village would be brighter than the willows and flowers!
They got cheap bootleg books!.
