Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 2: Unfamiliar
The interior of the store has a completely different architectural pattern and bears no resemblance to the 'Broken Cauldron' in Kewen's memory.
In front of the surrounding walls are display racks full of items related to wizarding culture, robes, wands, various potion bottles, and skulls representing dark wizards.
However, in Cowen's perception, nothing has any magical aura.
The layout of other places is like a restaurant, the innermost bar, and some tables and chairs in the hall.
All the utensils look very old, but Kewen can tell at a glance that those things are modern imitations, and the old technology is not high-end.
Continue to look away.
Kewen looked at the guests who were communicating in the hall, but swept his eyes away in disappointment, because these were ordinary people without any magic power in their bodies.
Finally, he looked behind the bar and found a real wizard.
It was a middle-aged man who appeared to be the owner of the store by looking at his clothes.
The other party is not old Tom of 'The Leaky Cauldron', nor the owner of his successor, Hannah Abbott, the Iron Lady.
But Ke Wen didn't think about it anymore, and walked across the table and chairs to the front of the bar.
"Guest, what do you need?"
The shop owner smiled politely and said: "My shop is the most comprehensive shop in the UK with the most comprehensive wizard culture. Customers can find everything you want here, and they can also talk freely with their friends. You won't get any weird looks from the outside world."
Kewen was silent for a while, then flicked his finger and slapped a gold Galleon at the other party.
When the store owner reached out his hand to catch it, Kewen said in a low voice, "I need to go to Diagon Alley."
The owner of the store is stunned again: "I'm sorry customer, what did you say?"
Kewen frowned slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the gold coin in the other's palm: "Jin Galleon, let me go to Diagon Alley for another convenience."
The shop owner's eyes are very strange, as if he is looking at some mental patient.
After taking a look at Kewen's whole body, the store owner looked at Kewen's demeanor again, and then he smiled awkwardly: "Sorry for the customer, although I'm the boss, I don't know much about the wizarding culture. , if you want to know about uh... Diagon Alley?"
The owner of the store recalled and continued: "If you want to know about the legend of Diagon Alley, I can post a call for you."
While talking, the boss took out his touch screen phone, clicked on a group chat and said, "You can pay the membership fee to join our fellow club, and I will post a message for you in the group, looking for the same 'Diagonal Alley' Fans who are interested in the legend."
Kewen was a little impatient. He pointed his finger at the shop owner a little, and instantly placed the Imperius Curse on him.
Although the shop owner is a wizard, he cannot resist Cowen's magic.
The opponent was hit before he could even react.
With a tired sigh, Kewen said again: "Take me to Diagon Alley."
"No... Diagon Alley..."
This answer stunned Cowen, who immediately checked his spell and frowned even more when he found that there was no problem.
After thinking about it, Kewen asked again: "Where does the back door lead to?"
"Wizards... High Street..."
"Tsk..." Kewen was a little depressed: "Have you changed your name? But it's impossible. Even if you change your name, you have to know that it used to be called Diagon Alley, right?"
After muttering, Kewen asked, "How many years is it now?"
"May 28, 2014."
"Ten years..."
Kewen felt very strange. He left in 1994. How could the world have changed so much after ten years?
No more thinking, Kewen immediately instructed the store owner to take him to the back alley.
Soon, the two walked out the back door.
Next, the store owner's actions made Kewen frown again.
Because the opponent did not tap the brick with the wand, but cast a door opening spell on the wall with the wand.
As the wall changed to a passage, Kewen shook his head without thinking too much, raised his hand and erased the store owner's memory in the past few minutes.
Stop worrying about the other party, Kewen stepped into the passage and entered the 'Diagonal Alley' in his memory.
However, the scene that once again stunned him appeared.
What I see in front of me is no longer the narrow alley of Diagon Alley, but a modern street.
Kewen kept walking forward in a daze. He watched the shops on both sides of the street, but did not find any familiar figures.
Until Cowan stopped at the door of the 'Olivander's Wand Shop', he was completely stunned.
Completely unfamiliar storefront, with only the word 'Wand Shop' on the plaque above the door.
The interior of the store is bright and new, with an assortment of wands displayed in glass display cases.
There is no sign of Ollivander in the store, nor is there any sign of Spilett.
Kowen felt very lost.
He didn't know how long he had been standing at the door of the store, nor how many strange glances he received.
Until two wizards approached.
Two middle-aged wizards surrounded Kewen on the left and the right. They held wands and looked ready to attack at any time.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
The wizard on the right said coldly: "A face you haven't seen before, where do you come from?"
Cowen returned to his senses. He looked at the two wizards left and right, and then managed to control the friendliness in his tone: "I'm from... Hogwarts."
"Hogwarts?"
The wizard who asked the question was stunned for a moment. He looked at his companion, and after receiving a blank look in response, he couldn't help but continue to ask Cowen: "Where is Hogwarts? It sounds like a local to your accent, but I Never heard of 'Hogwarts', so where is that? Where is it located?"
Korwen's heart kept sinking, and he forced a smile to save him: "What about Hogsmeade? Have you heard of it? Headmaster Albus Dumbledore!? Hogwarts Magic The Academy!? Savior Harry Potter!? Professor McGonagall! Professor Snape! Or Voldemort!?"
Kewen's tone was a little anxious: "Please! No matter who it is! Have you heard of it!?"
"Young man! Calm down!"
The two wizards pointed their wands at the excited Cowen at the same time, and the other said, "Sorry young man, I've never heard of the people or places you're talking about."
Kewen took a deep breath, and after calming down, he asked in a dry voice, "Then may I ask...the School of Magic here in the UK is..."
"Flamel Academy." The wizard on the right replied.
"Ha...Flammel College..."
Kewen lost his strength, bowed his head and sighed: "I've never heard of it..."
The next moment, however, a memory message suddenly popped into my mind.
After recalling, Kewen was once again stunned and completely sluggish.
"Young people!? Young people!?"
The call brought Cowen back to his senses, and the wizard on the right threatened Cowen with his wand: "Please come with us for an investigation, we are agents of the Ministry of Magic!"
Speaking, the two wizards took out their credentials from their arms at the same time and showed them to Kewen.
"The Ministry of Magic..."
Cowen showed a wry smile, and he shook his head slightly: "Well, the name of the Ministry of Magic has not changed..."
"Please do not make extra moves."
The wizard on the right solemnly warns: "Please follow us back to the Ministry of Magic for investigation!"
Kewen opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he nodded weakly.
……
The world has England, wizards, and wizarding schools.
But this world has no 'floo fans', no 'migrating phantoms', and no magic buses.
Walking out of Wizard Street, Kewen was pushed into a car by two wizards.
Soon after driving, Kewen finally couldn't help but ask: "Just drive to the Ministry of Magic? Isn't there a more convenient way? Teleportation, or magic props or something?"
The wizard who escorted Cowen in the back seat was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he responded: "Aren't you a wizard? Otherwise, why don't you even understand such a simple history of magic?"
"I'm a wizard." Kewen said helplessly: "A regular academic wizard, graduated from the 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'... Forget it..."
Explaining that it was useless, Kewen said instead: "Can you tell me about it? The history of magic? Shouldn't it be some confidential information?"
"That's not it."
The wizard in the back seat may have seen that Kewen is not in any danger, but has some mental problems, so he was idle and idle, and began to explain.
According to what he said, during the First World War a hundred years ago, an alchemist used the human body to forge, and thus obtained the highest achievement item of alchemy, the "Sage's Stone".
However, it takes a lot of life to make the 'Sage's Stone', so the alchemist was discovered and hunted by the entire magic world.
In the end, the alchemist lured many people to help him escape the magic world with the immortality of the 'Sage's Stone'.
There are wizards, magicians, alchemists, etc. among those people, and they take a lot of inheritance with them.
During World War II, practitioners from various countries also fought wars, and many inheritances were gradually and completely cut off.
The kind of magic that allows people to warp space and teleport, has long been lost.
Nowadays, only on an overseas island, there are still inheritances taken by those who betrayed, but due to some special reasons, those inheritances cannot be recovered.
Kewen smiled bitterly in his heart as he listened.
He doesn't even need to induce more keywords, he can already determine what kind of world this is at this time...
More than ten minutes later, Kewen was taken into a high-rise building, descended through the elevator, and entered the Ministry of Magic in this world.
He was searched by the guards~IndoMTL.com~ In addition to the few 'Golden Galleons' that he temporarily transferred from the 'Cube World', he was completely clean and had nothing.
Subsequently, Kewen was locked in a guard room, waiting for someone to investigate.
He was the only one left in the room, Kewen immediately immersed himself in his mind and asked the 'Crossing Rubik's Cube' about what went wrong in this crossing...
