Chapter 196 Thousand Paper Cranes?



Cassandra looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure busy in the toy store.

Cassandra immediately recognized that the figure was the person who wanted to sell her the paper crane a year ago, but was eventually bought by Wentworth.

At this moment, this figure was busy in the store, apparently packing things in the store, and he didn't even have time to greet the customers who pushed the door in.

Seeing this, Cassandra had no choice but to ask first:

"Hello, do you still have the paper crane in the window?"

Hearing Cassandra's question, the busy figure paused, turned around, and looked at Cassandra in surprise. After looking her up and down, the man suddenly asked:

"Miss Cassandra, right?"

Hearing that person speak, Cassandra couldn't help but said in surprise:

"You can recognize me even when I'm like this?"

Hearing Cassandra admit it, the man smiled bitterly and then explained:

"Of course, it's hard for me not to be impressed by you, Miss Cassandra! Because the paper crane that flew away from your hand that day and finally landed in the hands of that gentleman was the only one I made that I sold."

Hearing what the clerk said, Cassandra instantly became interested and asked:

"So, you made this paper crane?"

The clerk nodded and responded:

"Yes, this paper crane was indeed made by me, and only I can make it! Not only that, I have since made a simple upgrade to it. Not only can it perform simple real-life communications, but it can also have multiple paper cranes and receive messages from one paper crane at the same time!"

"I dare say that this is an invention that can change the wizarding world. Only I - Boss Burke can make it!"

Cassandra's interest was obviously heightened after hearing what Boss Bock said, but she also heard something else, so she asked tentatively:

"Mr. Boss Bok? Are you from the Bok family among the twenty-eight sacred families?"

After hearing Cassandra's words, Bos Bock seemed to realize that he had inadvertently exposed his origins. However, Bos Bock did not seem to be happy at all because he came from the Twenty-Eight Sacred Families. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said:

“It used to be.”

"once?"

Cassandra couldn't help but wonder.

It was obvious that Bos Bock had a lot of things accumulated in his heart. Before Cassandra could continue to ask, Bos Bock said directly: "Yes, that's it, it was once! They removed me from the family tree because I tainted the bloodline of the Boks! It's so funny, I just found a girl I like, what's wrong with that?"

At the end, Bos Bock almost roared as he finished the last sentence, but then he fell silent again.

After a long while, Cassandra finally asked:

"So what is this store?"

Boss Bock looked around his store with nostalgia and said:

"This is the store I rented with most of my wealth. I want to prove to them that Borgin and Burke's is only the past of the Burke family, and I am the future of the Burke family."

But Cassandra pointed mercilessly at the gifts that Boss Bock was packing and said:

"But it's clear that you failed, wasn't it?"

After hearing Cassandra's words, Boss Bock nodded in silence and said with a wry smile:

"Yes, that's right. I spent almost all my money to invent the paper cranes you asked about. Although the invention was successful, the store could no longer be opened! Perhaps my invention was too advanced. The conservative wizards could not accept such an advanced thing. They preferred to use the slow owls that could be eaten at any time!"

"Of course, it may also be because the cost of making a thousand paper cranes is too high. It takes about twenty gold galleons to make each one. This... this is indeed a bit unbearable."

At this point, Bos Burke's mouth was full of bitterness, and Cassandra was also shocked by the price Bos Burke said. You know, a brand new wand bought from Ollivander's Wand Shop is only about seven gold galleons! At this moment, Bos Burke seemed to have vented his anger. He sighed, pointed at the paper cranes in the window, and said

"Since Miss Cassandra likes my paper crane, I'll give this one to her. Anyway... there's only one. Actually, you can take it away. Whenever I see it, I feel sad, but I can't bear to throw it away. So I'll give it to a wizard who likes it, so it can be put to good use!"

After hearing what Boss Bock said, Cassandra glanced at the paper cranes in the window and suddenly asked, "Can this magic item only be fixed in the shape of a paper crane?"

Hearing Cassandra's question, Bos Bock was stunned. Although he was a little puzzled, he still answered:

"No, no, in fact, making it into the shape of a paper crane is my personal hobby. My wife and I met because of a paper crane, so I made it into the shape of a paper crane."

Cassandra smiled when she heard Boss Bork's answer, and then she said to him, "Boss Bork, you are lucky. I think you can keep your shop. I am very interested in your invention, but you have to make this... no, this set of magic items according to the style I told you!"

Hearing Cassandra's words, Boss Bock instantly perked up. He quickly came to Cassandra's side and asked with some trembling: "So, Miss Cassandra, how much do you want?"

Cassandra took out a stack of playing cards from her bosom and said, "According to this pattern, one by one, I want 52, no, 53!"

As she spoke, Cassandra took out another playing card from her bosom, then pulled out her magic wand and pointed it at the playing card. The pattern on the playing card turned into a masked clown holding a magic wand with a weird smile on his face, and on both sides of the clown were the words JoKer.

Then, Cassandra gently placed the card on top of the deck of cards and said again: "But you still have to make some improvements according to what I said!"
