Chapter 216 Pig's Head Bar(2/2)
"I can't speak to you." Hagrid said, pretending to be angry, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Let's see what the black market in the wizarding world is like. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed." Albert didn't hide the disappointment on his face. Of course, he was pretending to show Hagrid.
"What are you going to buy on the black market?" Hagrid asked warily.
"Rune snake eggs." Albert said without thinking.
"You want to raise a snake?" Hagrid was very surprised and looked at Albert again.
"I'm not a Slytherin student, how could I be interested in snakes?" Albert shook his head and explained, "I heard that eating rune snake eggs can make people smarter, so I'm going to buy a few and try them.
Taste it and see if it makes you smarter."
At this moment, not only Hagrid, but also Aberforth opened his mouth in surprise.
"You want to eat rune snake eggs?" Hagrid's face twitched slightly and he couldn't help but said, "I think you are smart enough."
"But no one would mind becoming smarter." Albert turned his head and looked at Fred and the others and asked, "Do you want to become smarter?"
"Of course."
"Look." Albert spread his hands towards Hagrid, then looked at the bar owner and asked, "This is..."
"Albusford Dumbledore," the barkeeper said.
"Mr. Albusford, how much does a rune snake egg cost?" Albert asked politely.
"This kind of snake egg trade has been flourishing on the black market for centuries." Albusford thought for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult to get one. One egg costs between five and ten galleons."
"It would be great if you could get one or two for me." Albert smiled and offered his price, "Ten galleons each. Of course, don't fool me with fake ones.
I still have basic common sense."
Albusford raised his eyebrows, looked at Albert deeply, and said nothing for a long time.
"Albert..." Hagrid couldn't help but said, "When dealing with guys in the black market, you need to be more alert."
"Of course I know." Albert said, "But isn't this Dumbledore's relative? I think he should be trustworthy to some extent, and he just gets what he needs."
"For one gold coin, I can introduce you to a fairly reliable guy, if you need anything." Albusford suddenly raised his finger and said to Albert.
"Albusford." Hagrid glared at the owner of the Pig's Head pub dissatisfied.
Albert took out a gold coin and threw it to Albusford.
"His name is Mundungus." Albusford looked at Albert in surprise, and the other person's straightforwardness surprised him.
"That smelly thief Mundungus?" Hagrid obviously didn't like the guy named Mundungus very much.
"His full name is Mundungus Fletcher." Albusford said, and as he spoke, he waved his wand and released a ball of white light.
"What is that?" Fred and the others looked at the disappearing white light and couldn't help but ask.
"It should be the patron saint." Albert explained.
"You know?" Albusford was surprised that Albert actually knew about the Patronus. This is a very advanced magic.
"I know, I'm practicing. But what are you doing by releasing the Patronus?" Albert asked pretending to be curious. He naturally knew that the Patronus could be used to send messages.
"Submission, Mundungus will be here soon." Albusford explained.
"I have never heard that the patron saint can also be used for communication? How can you use it yourself?" Albert asked curiously.
"No." Albusford shook his head.
