Chapter 189 The Hidden Square (Subscribe for the third watch)

Rita Skeeter looked reconciled, but helpless, who told her that the appointment time was not long enough?

Just as she was about to leave the room, Spurius, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke, "Is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet still Barnabas Guffy?"

Rita turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that a bumpkin from the backcountry of France knew her editor-in-chief.

"When I was young, I met Barnabas Guffy who traveled to the mainland. It has been five years in a blink of an eye. Is he still in good health?"

Rita also became serious in a rare way: "The editor-in-chief is still very strong."

"That's good, can I take a look at this press release after it's written? I can't wait." Spurius stretched his waist and made his request.

Rita Skeeter's complexion suddenly became ugly, she took a deep breath, and when she let it out, she put a smile on her face again: "No problem, I'll write now, you wait."

Then, she spread the parchment on the wall, leaned against the wall and began to write the manuscript. In less than 5 minutes, a press release with hundreds of words was written.Spurius took the manuscript, read it through, and handed it back.

"As expected of Rita Skeeter, this writing skill is really amazing and well written."

With a professional smirk on her face, Rita Skeeter took the manuscript and stuffed it into her purse, then quickly shook hands with Lu Ren and left quickly without looking back.Spulius didn't take this small role seriously, he looked at Lu Ren with great interest and asked, "Your way of dealing with the media is really good!"

Lu Ren stroked his hair, "When facing the media, you must use this kind of attitude and rhetoric. If you have nothing to say, then say you have nothing to say. If you have to say something, then no matter what they ask, just express your own opinion." , If the reporter repeatedly asks, then say 'the question is not here', or ask back and say 'this is a good question, but I also have a question'." Lu Ren talked about how to deal with the media.

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"You have accomplished a lot in dealing with the media."

Next, Spurius was not in a hurry to return to Augustopona Castle. He asked Lu Ren if he wanted to go to the French "Diagon Alley" - Place Cachée.In this regard, Lu Ren naturally wanted to see it very much: this opportunity is too rare, there will be no such shop after passing this village.

To his surprise, when they stepped out of the gate of the Ministry of Magic, Kylienu and Alice were already waiting outside the door—Kirienu was also wearing a hooded robe trying to make himself Not so conspicuous.

"Alice needs to buy a wand." Spurius explained to Lu Ren.The little girl next to him made a grimace directly, and it could be seen that leaving the castle made the child very happy.

"What do you think my wand will be made of?" Alice bouncing forward, looking extremely happy.Today's Alice is dressed like a little Muggle girl from a rich family: a white sun hat on her head, a beige woolen coat, and a pair of black boots on her feet. The long silver hair was loosely scattered on the shoulders.It is said to be casually loose, but it is definitely not disheveled. Her hair is as smooth as brocade, and it looks like it has been carefully taken care of. The first impression is that such beautiful hair really exists?The whole little girl is as exquisite as an elf walking out of an anime, as if a Two-dimensional character broke through the dimensional wall and came to reality - if you haven't been with her day and night, you will have this illusion.

No one knows that beneath the angel's appearance lies the essence of a naughty little devil.

"Maybe it's Veela hair, you are as beautiful and willful as them." Lu Ren felt that it was unlikely that this guy's core was not Veela hair, she was simply a little Veela!

Wait, an idea flashed in Lu Ren's mind, he seemed to have grasped some trick: I have been in the castle for so many days, but I seem to have never seen Alice's mother? !

He looked at Spulius, who was doting on his face, and a bold idea emerged in his heart: Isn't it?This quiet guy wouldn't have played so wild in his youth, would he?This is no longer a species!But thinking about his father's virtues, everything seems to make sense?

Although the bold thoughts in his heart came one after another, he didn't say them out. He calmly analyzed and answered Alice's question.

"It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, but the wand chooses the wizard. The personality of the wizard will be reflected in the core of the wand. For example, the wand with the core of the fire dragon's heart nerve is powerful. It is easier to learn spells, but it is also easier for others with service."

"Forget it, it sounds like a wand only used by teenagers." Alice dismissed the idea when she heard that she was serving other owners, joking, how could she accept a wand that was not firm?

Lu Ren had a big head, and he was not a cane maker, so he couldn't remember the characteristics of the cane core so clearly, but he couldn't bear Alice's urging, so he could only bite the bullet and continue talking.

"Vela hair can also be used as a wand core, but such wands are very sensitive and capricious. Therefore, the British wand master Ollivander refused to use this material to make wands."

At the same time, Lu Ren glanced at Spurius quietly, and found that his expression was normal and he didn't respond.Alice's eyes lit up: "Does that mean only very beautiful girls can use it as a magic wand!"

"Ah, it seems to be right? But maybe you need to have a little Veela blood." Lu Ren's eyes wandered for a moment, and he had the impression that the person who used Veela hair as a stick core did indeed have Veela blood?And use your own or your own relatives' hair?

"What is your core?" Alice was curious as always.

"I have two wands, one is the horn of a unicorn, and the other is the hair of a hermit."

"Why can you have two wands!" Seeing Alice's appearance, she also wanted to have two wands.The corner of Lu Ren's mouth twitched, "If you are recognized by two magic wands at the same time, you can naturally have two magic wands."

They chatted all the way and went all the way, and finally came to the Montmartre heights in Paris, where Diagon Alley in France: Hidden Square is located.Of course, it’s called a “highland”, but it’s actually not that steep. It feels like a small high slope, but you can indeed overlook the scenery of Paris when you climb up.
