Chương 17: Diagon Alley (2)
Diagon Alley (2)
After Kai purchased his clothes, he decided to get shoes, because he was currently barefoot. Kai walked into a shop a few meters away from Dracul's shop. He saw that there were some shoes inside the shop along with many other miscellaneous items that were being shown.
Kai entered and saw the shoes lined up in the corner. He walked towards the shoe section while trying to get past the various other items in his way. There were clothes, suitcases, small gadgets and baubles. It looked like you could find anything in the shop, at the same time as Kai entered the shop, he felt someone stare at him and tried to hear who was watching him.
In the corner, there was an almost unseeable counter and Kai could sense a person breathing, its heartbeat. Kai looked in the direction of the counter and saw a short old lady, which was staring at him in an infatuated manner.
Kai tried to ignore the creepy grin and walked over to the shoe stand where he chose a pair of combat boots made of an unknown creature's hide (aka leather).
Kai tried them on and to his surprise, they shrink down to his size and fit him nicely, however, when he tried to put a little bit of strength into his feet, he could feel the boots giving out.
He took them off and headed to the counter where he asked the creepy old lady if she had any sturdy shoes. She beckoned him over as she went into an entrance to a hidden door in the wall.
Kai entered the "secret entrance" and saw that it was, in fact, the storage room where she seemed to have kept the extra merchandise. She walked to one of the boxes labelled "Dragon" and picked it up gave it to Kai and told him that this seemed to be what he needed.
Kai opened the box and saw a pair of pitch black combat boots with a few scales on the edges of the rims. Altogether it gave the boots a nice sleek look. After Kai tried it on they automatically changed their size to fit his feet. Kai channelled some strength into his feet and was pleasantly surprised when they withstood his power.
Kai said to the shopkeeper that he will purchase them, and she rubbed her arms in glee. Kai asked for the price and was told 5000 Galleons. Kai was shocked at the price, but the money wasn't his, so he didn't care for their cost and paid for his newest purchase.
Kai left the shop satisfied and currently had bought the most urgent things. He then checked the list and saw that it had many different shops written on them, some of them on Diagon Alley and some of them on Knockturn Alley.
Kai had to go to the shop "Apothecary" that sold materials to create potions. Kai entered the shop and gave the shopkeeper the list, the shopkeeper got the materials on the list and Kai then paid. He was given a magical bag that could store many things much bigger in it, however, the downside was that you could still feel the weight of the objects inside the bag. Luckily the flaw was non-existent for Kai and his superior physical strength.
Kai was given the bag for free because of his many purchases. Kai then headed out and started his shopping spree through the Flourish and Botts, where he bought books related to many subjects in the wizarding world in addition to the standard magic learning material.
He then headed to Potage's Cauldron Shop where he got several high-quality cauldrons in many different sizes that were put into the bag along with books and the potion materials.
After going to the following places on Diagon Alley, he then had to go to Knockturn Alley. When Kai got to the first place on the list, Cobb and Webbs, he saw a dark rickety building.
The inside of the store was surprisingly clean, and the man at the counter was dressed neatly and went over to Kai when he walked in. Kai gave him the list and the attendant left to gather the required materials.
Kai continued getting all the things written on the list and an hour later he finished collecting all the materials. Kai had half an hour left before he would meet up with Tom and Bellatrix, so he continued exploring the alley.
Kai bumped into a man on his way and instantly felt his coin pouch disappear from his body. Kai turned around and punched the thief with a fraction of his strength. The thief was stunned at how easily someone could sense his thievery. When the thief was punched, Kai and the thief could hear a loud clear crack coming from the thief's body.
He crashed into a wall and lay there unmoving, Kai walked up to him clearly sensing that he was playing dead, but he still didn't care. Kai took his pouch and turned to leave when the thief took out his wand and shouted "Avad-" before being held by the throat by Kai and was lifted off the ground in a pathetic manner.
"I was going to let you live, but you've tried to kill me. What do you propose we do, now that you've attempted to take my life" Kai said in a sarcastic voice.
"Please don't kill me, I know information, I can give you information." Kai stared at the thief that was being choked and said to him in a clear cold tone of voice. "I will give you one chance to live, if you can answer it I will let you go. Where is a place to find magical beasts in Knockturn Alley?"
"There is a gambling den in Knockturn Alley, in it, you can win all kinds of prizes including beasts." "Very well," Kai said before dropping the thief to the ground.
Kai found the gambling den and entered the store. Kai entered the waiting room, the waiting room was a large hallway with a counter with a middle-aged man sitting behind the counter. Kai walked to the counter and asked the man where he could win magical beasts. The man answered that it was on the third floor.
Kai paid, and the man let him in. When Kai got to the third floor he saw a large arena. Sitting in the stands were many wizards and witches. In the arena, there was a taller stand where a commentator sat and announced what was going on in the arena, while there was a gambling booth at the entrance to the stands.
Kai walked up to the gambling booth, he saw that there was a wizard behind it. "It's time for the fight to start, everyone has one last chance to gamble at the booths around the arena. The fight will be between two rare beasts from around the world. A Nundu from Africa classified as an A class beast, it usually takes 100 wizards to capture one, so everyone can imagine the hard work we put into this ordeal. The opposing beast is a mutated Thunderbird from South America, this beast is usually classified as a B class, however, this Thunderbird is intelligent so it knows how to fight with its own tactics, therefore, it has been classified as an A+.
(Nundu- Nundus originate from East Africa and despite being huge can move silently making it a proficient hunter and has earned it the title of one of the most dangerous creatures alive. It's been described as a cross between a tiger and a pufferfish. They inflate the sacks on their necks and then expel their breath which contains a potent mix of diseases and toxins. I used this site to find the information-https://www.higgypop.com/news/list-of-fantastic-beasts/).
Kai believed that the Thunderbird would win, because it would be able to move faster than the Nundu, as well have more range and penetrating power. So, Kai bet on the Thunderbird and saw that the odds were pretty good 1:2 so Kai would earn two times his profits.
Kai had already betted 50 thousand Galleons on the Thunderbird and got a ticket saying how much he paid as well as what he betted on. Kai had already decided on who to choose well before the announcer had announced the beasts rank, and then walked to one of the stands and waited for the match to start.
At the same time, he told himself that he wouldn't go back to a place like this it wasn't a nice feeling, all the people here were sadists watching animals murder themselves for their own entertainment. The reason that Kai came to this establishment was to try and get one of the magical creatures that had been injured. He could gain their trust by healing them and giving them a home with him, a friend.
Kai watched as the match started and as he had thought the thunderbird was winning.
(In case you don't know the Ministry of Magic classifies beasts from an E rank to an A rank with A rank being the most dangerous).
The Thunderbird was kiting the Nundu and it couldn't react in time. The Nundu was stunned by the lighting sparks and was the pecked with the thunder bird's powerful beak.
In the end, the Nundu couldn't withstand the Thunderbird and just collapsed on the floor with critical injuries. Kai saw that the Nundu's eye was pierced along with half of it fur that was burnt off, it had many stabs throughout its body.
Kai walked towards the betting station and asked the man if he could exchange the money for the injured Nundu since it was too damaged to fight another battle. The man who was at the betting station told him that he would go to his superiors to check, Kai told him that he had earned 100 thousand Galleons, so he should tell that to his superiors.
The man shortly returned with an answer, he told Kai that he could get the Nundu if he paid another 10 thousand Galleons because a dead Nundu could still earn some money with its body parts.
Kai agreed and paid the money, then was escorted to the dying Nundu. He asked the Nundu if it wanted to live if it did nod once if it didn't don't make any action.
The Nundu tried to nod and Kai understood it he extended his hand and patted the beast. Kai checked the beast's injuries and quickly saw that you could almost see the brain through the beasts pierced eye, Kai immediately bit into the Nundu's body and released his venom into its bloodstream.
Because of the beast's initiate strength and the venom coursing through its veins, Kai took the risk and picked up the Nundu and ran at 3 times the speed of sound towards a cave that he had seen earlier in the countryside, during his dash to Little Hangleton.
Kai entered the cave and saw that it was big enough to let the Nundu rest with enough room to stretch, Kai told it that there will be pain and if he survives he will come and get it in three days' time.
Kai left the cave and returned to Diagon Alley using the specific "code" while using the magical energy he had in his body. He had been practising moving the energy to certain parts of his body while he had been driving to the Malfoys.
Kai checked the time and saw that two hours had passed. He quickly headed to Dracul's shop and entered. He asked Dracul who was lazily reclining in his chair if his order was ready. The shopkeeper looked up and saw it was Kai, he told Kai that his clothes were ready. He then took out his wand, a pure black smooth wooden wand and moved, saying "Accio- green and black basket". He gave kai the basket and said that in the basket was Kai's order.
Kai took out a shirt, trousers, underwear, socks and a black overcoat, then asked Dracul if there was a changing room. Dracul lazily pointed at the corner of the shop and Kai saw a small curtain that Kai assumed was the changing room. Kai entered and saw a small bench and one mirror. Kai put on the clothes and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Damn, I look badass" Kai loudly exclaimed. He then tried using a 1/100 of his strength and it didn't rip or take any damage. Kai was happy with the quality of the clothes, so he left the changing room in a happy manner.
Kai asked Dracul what the clothes were made of and he replied, " Herculean Lion fur." It's a sturdy material so it won't rip so easily. "Thanks," Kai said. "Don't be, you paid for them" replied Dracul. "Well bye," Kai said as he left the shop. Dracul looked at the door of the shop and then apparated out of the shop leaving a black cloud of smoke behind him that quickly disappeared.
At the same time in an unidentifiable place, Bathilda said to herself "that's weird I just sensed an extremely powerful being come close to Kai, I better check out how Kai is."
