Chapter 503 Scar Eye Bar
Many wizards in the United States have the same problems as Abbott. They are always pretentious and immersed in past memories and glory. They are unwilling to face the world and the fact that the former poor have surpassed them.
But what is the reality? Only a small number of people are truly qualified to look down on American wizards!
Abbott obviously thinks that he and Mike and others are qualified, so he has been instilling the concept that the United States is not as good as the United States.
But neither Mike nor Zhou Hong took his words too seriously.
They are not the kind of fools who are easily bewitched. Compared with listening to people's stories, they prefer to observe with their own eyes.
From the results of their observations, Square Street is obviously more advanced and more interesting than Diagon Alley!
This feeling is mainly reflected in the people coming and going. Unlike Diagon Alley, there are not only more people coming and going on Square Street, but also many non-human creatures among them. For example, when Abbott was holding Mike and talking, a group of centaurs passed by Zhou Hong.
They all had slicked back hair and wore neat suits. Even their manes were slicked down, which was very different from the horses in Hogwarts.
The most important thing was that they were very humble. Zhou Hong was stunned when they passed by and kept staring at them. But in the face of such impolite behavior, they were not angry, but smiled and greeted Zhou Hong.
In addition, the dress of human wizards was also very strange, so strange that Mike felt
it was eye-irritating. Mike was serious about this. He originally thought that the style of the wizards in Yingguo, who often wore underwear outside, was strange enough, but he didn't expect that the wizards here had more ideas. Not only were the colors colorful, but some people even ran out wrapped in a few leaves!
Of course, Mike understood the one wrapped in leaves very well, because he was obviously a black shaman. Maybe this was their tradition, and Mike couldn't say much.
But Mike really couldn't appreciate those who painted their faces like ghosts and hung all kinds of metal accessories on their bodies.
Even their existence made Mike's cognition misunderstood, because compared with those various non-human intelligent creatures, these wizards in strange costumes looked more like beasts!
Of course, there were still people who dressed normally here. Among them, Mike was most impressed by several female students from Ilvermony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They all wore raspberry red robes and carried various beautiful bags in their hands, as if they had just come back from shopping.
Their robes were more slim-fitting than those of Hogwarts, and the connection between the robes was not the belts or buttons used in Hogwarts, but a complex knot that looked like a ball of twine tangled together.
This made Mike very confused. Wouldn't it be troublesome for them to take off their clothes when they tied such a complicated knot?
Abbott, who was standing by, saw that Mike was staring at the girls from Ifamoni, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said excitedly:
"Oh! They are students from Thunderbird Academy! If you are interested, go and chat with them. Girls like them who like adventure are the easiest to deal with, especially since you are young and rich."
Mike rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything, but continued to walk forward.
Abbott obviously misunderstood Mike's meaning, and caught up with him and continued:
"Come on! This is the United States, Penelope won't know, and I won't tell on you, you can relax a little."
Mike took a deep breath. He had just accompanied Abbott and Zhou Hong to visit eleven stores, and bought a bunch of various Thunderbird, Cat Leopard and Horned Water Snake souvenirs, all kinds of clothes, and a lot of food with strange effects. To be honest, he was already a little bored.
You have to know that he didn't come to the United States for tourism. At present, the force represented by Chris is hiding in the dark and watching him. They may jump out at any time to give him such a blow so as to reap the fruits of his victory. In this case, he really has no intention of shopping with Abbott.
He stretched out his hand to interrupt Abbott and said seriously:
"Okay, I think it's time for us to go back. I'm already very irritated."
Mike's words were very direct. Abbott stared at Mike with his mouth open for a while, then spread his hands and said:
"Okay, okay. I know you think this is meaningless, but I just want you to relax, no malice. I'm sorry."
Abbott said sincerely, and Mike was also a little moved. He stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Abbott's shoulder for comfort.
But before his hand fell, Abbott changed his previous lost look and said to Mike excitedly:
"But there is another place you must go to see! That place is really cool. This time I got the information about the Kent family there. I think you may have other things to consult!"
Now it was Mike's turn to be stunned. He wanted to refuse when he saw Abbott's excitement, but he changed his mind after hearing the second half of Abbott's words.
Judging from the information Abbott brought, the place Abbott mentioned obviously has a strong ability in intelligence collection.
So since the other party can get information about the Kent family, can they also get information about the Chris family?
Abbott's mouth corners rose. As soon as he saw Mike's expression, he knew that the other party must be interested in the place he was talking about.
"Let's go. That place is not far from here. It can be reached in 5 minutes."
"Okay... Then please lead the way."
Abbott's smile became even brighter, and he walked in another direction with Mike and Zhou Hong, talking and laughing.
Abbott was not lying. Five minutes later, Mike and the other two stopped at a somewhat shabby street.
Compared with the previous Plaza Street, this place was like a garbage dump. Not only were the roads and walls tattered, but there were also very few pedestrians on the street, and even an unpleasant stench was floating in the air.
Abbott seemed a little excited. He raised his eyebrows at Mike, then took the lead in opening a rusty iron door and walked in.
Mike and Zhou Hong looked at each other, both of them were full of doubts, but in the end they followed.
As the creaking iron door was opened, a strange smell mixed with tobacco and cheap perfume and a slight sound of music came over. Zhou Hong couldn't help frowning and covering his nose, while Mike took a deep breath.
He was very familiar with this smell. He often smelled it in his previous life.
At the same time, he also roughly knew where Abbott had brought them to. It should be a bar or disco that deals in sex.
Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart. To be honest, he had been in this world for so many years, but he had never visited the magic world.
Inside the iron gate was a winding staircase going down. There was a chandelier hanging on the ceiling of the stairwell at intervals, but it was obviously lacking in maintenance. Many chandeliers were damaged, which made the stairwell, which was already poorly lit, even darker.
However, with the remaining dim light, Mike could still clearly see a lot of dark and strange graffiti on the cracked walls on both sides of the stairs, and there were some garbage such as cigarette butts and dust scattered on the steps of the stairs, which looked very dirty.
But Mike and Zhou Hong were certainly not mysophobic. The two of them followed Abbott down, and as they walked further, the music around them became louder and louder.
Finally, when Abbott came to the end of the passage and pushed open another iron door, the deafening music mixed with a strong strange smell came over.
Fortunately, Mike and Zhou Hong had already had an adaptation process in the stairwell, so they didn't feel too uncomfortable at the moment.
After passing through the iron door, a brand new space appeared in front of everyone.
Mike guessed correctly, there was indeed a bar inside. But it was not like the medieval old bar like the Leaky Cauldron. The dazzling magic lights and the exciting music on the ceiling reminded Mike that this was a more modern bar.
However, unlike ordinary bars, the guests who gathered here and swayed to the music were all kinds of races. Mike even saw a human wizard holding a female fairy with heavy makeup and chewing fiercely in the corner. This spicy scene almost made Mike spit out the sausage bread he had eaten in the morning. He
finally cast a awed look at the old man with a strange taste, and finally retracted his sight.
At this time, the arrival of the three of them also attracted the attention of some people. Two short fairies in black robes suddenly came over and looked at Mike and the others vigilantly.
Seeing the newcomers, Abbott stepped forward decisively, took out a broken horn of an unknown creature from his arms, shook it in front of the two goblins, and then said:
"Is Kled here?"
The two goblins who saw the broken horn changed their attitudes, and their originally straight waists immediately bent down, and they said one after another:
"The boss just came back and is drinking in the box now."
"Take us there."
After that, Abbott threw out two gold galleons. The two goblins jumped up and accurately grabbed the gold coins, and then smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Dear guests, please follow us."
Abbott did not speak, but raised his head, snorted at the two goblins with his nose, and then walked forward.
Mike and Zhou Hong did not speak either, and followed him silently.
The three of them slowly walked into the bar. As they were led by the goblins, they passed through a locked iron door again. Mike then realized that what he and others had seen before was only the periphery of the bar, and now what appeared in front of Mike was the real bar.
As the inner area, the performances here are much more exciting. Humans, goblins, fairies, centaurs, mermaids, veelas...
all kinds of women are dressed in revealing clothes and are scattered in iron cages. They are twisting and turning with the exciting music around them. Around them are a large number of spectators. These people are constantly swinging with the movements of the women in the cages, and occasionally throw some coins into them.
Of course, the popularity of these caged girls is also different. Among them, the veela in the center of the dance hall is undoubtedly the most popular here. She is surrounded by people. Many emotional spectators even slap and shake the iron cage, which makes Mike realize that the iron cage may not be used to restrict the girl inside, but to protect her.
Mike and the other two are all people who have seen the world and have a certain ability to close their brains, so they are not bewitched by these exciting scenes in the venue. Instead, the fairies leading the way seem a little embarrassed. Their eyes have been focused on a female fairy in the corner, with greedy eyes.
After a while, the two fairies reluctantly led Mike and the others into a hidden box under Abbot's urging.
The box had a very good soundproofing effect, and the noisy music outside disappeared completely as soon as they entered the room.
But this did not mean that the box was quiet. In fact, it was even noisier than outside the box, because there was a fairy inside holding a huge lizard and cursing at it, and the lizard was not afraid, but on the contrary, it kept talking back in a language that Mike could not understand.
And the fairy and the lizard were the lizard knight with road rage that Mike and the others had seen on the square street earlier!
The two fairies seemed to be used to such scenes. They silently moved back a few steps, and after keeping a safe distance, they carefully said:
"Boss Krei, the person is back."
It must be said that the two fairies were foresighted, because as soon as they finished speaking, the lizard jumped out and bit the goblin who was speaking.
"Skarr!"
A sharp roar came out from Krei's end, and then he grabbed the reins on the lizard Skarr's neck with one hand. The muscles in his arm bulged, and the huge lizard was pulled back by him.
"Waste!"
Krei cursed angrily and punched the lizard Skarr on the head, knocking the latter unconscious.
The two fairies who escaped the disaster curled up in the corner of the box, looking at their boss with horror.
Mike and Zhou Hong were silent, but Abbott seemed to be very familiar with Kled. He laughed and said,
"Hahaha! Boss Kled, your temper is still as good as ever!"
Kled rolled his eyes at him and said viciously,
"You weird little white face! Just tell me your purpose, or I'll put your head in your py!"
Abbott's smile froze, and he looked at Kled with a deadpan and dangerous look. Finally, he said coldly,
"We're here to do business with you. Big business!"
