Chapter 99 Customize "Flying Sword"!



Chapter 99 Customize "Flying Sword"!
Early the next morning, Alice took Charlie out of the room at the Leaky Cauldron.
When I took the subway to the Leaky Cauldron yesterday, the sky was getting dark, so Charlie didn't let Alice go to Diagon Alley, but stayed at the Leaky Cauldron first.

Diagon Alley at night is not so safe. If it is Charlie himself, of course there is no problem. If you meet some dark wizards with evil intentions, you can just collect some experience.
But with Alice around, he couldn't take such risks.

Fighting is sometimes difficult to control, especially some powerful spells. If one is not good, it will easily affect others. It is easy to kill a person, but it is ten times more difficult to protect a person.

A powerful wizard like Dumbledore, when he was young, injured his sister Ariana because of the melee with his younger brother and Grindelwald, leading to her death.

Wearing a wizard's robe and a wizard's hat, Alice hugged Charlie and followed Charlie's instructions last night to a shop selling broomsticks in Diagon Alley - the Quidditch boutique!

This is a wizarding shop that sells all kinds of Quidditch equipment, including Quaffles, Bludgers and broomsticks.

"Oh dear, do you want a broomstick? We have the Nimbus Racing Broom Company, the latest Nimbus 2000!"

As soon as Alice walked into the store, a sweet-looking witch salesperson came up,

Before Alice wanted to speak, she brought Alice with a smile all over her face to the Nimbus 2000 place in the store, and introduced it enthusiastically:
"Look, how beautiful it is. Its handle is made of mahogany, and the twigs at the end of the broom are long, straight and neat. It can turn 360 degrees in place, and the top speed exceeds 100 miles per hour."

"Excuse me ma'am, I don't need a Nimbus 2000, I want a custom broomstick"

Alice watched speechlessly. The wizard clerk who was eloquently explaining the advantages of the Nimbus 2000 interrupted her after thinking about it.

"Custom broomsticks!"

The eyes of the female wizard clerk suddenly lit up,
This custom-made flying broomstick is much more expensive than buying a ready-made flying broomstick, and the commission is also much higher.

The broomstick shop in Diagon Alley also sells broomsticks produced by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company, Sweeping Broom Company and Comet Trading Company, the three major broom companies.

Special broomstick customization services are also accepted.

However, there are generally few customization services for broomsticks. Most of them are wizards with special bloodlines. Because they are too big or too small to use broomsticks normally, they will find manufacturers to customize them.
For customers who need customized services, manufacturers are very welcome,

Because the manufacturer is nothing more than making certain modifications on the basis of the original flying broomstick, the spells that should be burned on it have not changed much, and the cost will not increase much.
However, Galleons can be collected twice as much as the original broomstick.

You must know that the flying broom is a common flying tool necessary for wizards, and the price is very expensive. The price of the most common flying broom is several hundred Galleons.

And better ones, like the newly launched Nimbus 2000, cost as much as thousands of galleons. It is even said that a flying broom called "Firebolt" that was released later can be sold for four to five thousand galleons.
Therefore, even if ordinary wizards can afford it, they will not change it frequently.

"Honey, sit down, let's chat slowly, what kind of broomstick do you need to customize!"

The witch pulled Alice aside and asked enthusiastically.

It is actually understandable for Alice to customize a broomstick for Charlie. After all, Charlie can learn to cast human spells, so it is normal to want to have a broomstick that suits her.

However, she originally thought that Charlie, as a cat, should want to customize a smaller version of the broomstick, which is more suitable for Charlie's size.

But last night, when Charlie proposed to her the broomstick style he wanted to customize, she was also a little confused.

Because according to what she knew at Hogwarts in the past few months, no one seemed to have ever used this style of broomstick.

Alice took out a piece of paper from the wizard robe with a strange expression, and handed it to the female wizard clerk:

"Just follow the pattern on this drawing!"

The female wizard clerk took the blueprint handed over by Alice, put it on the table and opened it, and was suddenly stunned.

I saw that on the blueprint, it was a wide sword with a length of one meter.
sword?
"Honey, do you really want to order this style of broomstick?"

The female wizard clerk confirmed again,

Swords are cold weapons used by Muggles. In the eyes of wizards, they cannot be used on the table. Making a broomstick like this is not in line with the aesthetics of wizards.

The key point is that he can't ride this sword. He hasn't flown yet after riding it. Didn't he cut his thigh first?
Could this little wizard be teasing her!

"Can't this be done?"

Alice asked.

"Of course, but it's the price"

The female wizard clerk rolled her eyes, opened her five fingers, and made a gesture.

It's none of her business what kind of broomstick is made, the important thing is that the client has Galleons, as long as there are Galleons, as long as she can get a commission, then everything is easy to handle.

"Five thousand gold Galleons, no problem!"

This price did not exceed the bottom line that Charlie gave her yesterday, so Alice nodded and agreed without hesitation, untied her waist pocket, threw it on the table and said:

"This is five hundred gold Galleons. As a deposit, I will pay off the remaining four thousand five hundred gold Galleons after the goods arrive!"

The witch clerk opened the pocket and looked at the gleaming Garen inside, his face immediately beamed with joy.

"No problem, you can come to our store to pick up the goods in one week, one week, and we guarantee to complete the customization according to your requirements!"

It’s not difficult to replace the carrier of the broom with a sword. When the flying broom was first invented, it used an unpolished, thick ash stick, and it could still fly.
Back then, before so many spells had been invented to apply to the broomstick, the broomstick would only fly forward at one speed, it wouldn't go up, down, or pause.

In ancient times, wizards have not invented any spells that allow them to fly in human form without any tools, so they want to fly freely in the sky,

There are only wizards who are proficient in transfiguration and can cast Animagus.

Because part of their Animagus transformation, they can transform into animals with wings and enjoy the fun of flying, but this is only rare,

It is not an easy task to be able to practice transformation to the level of Animagus, and what kind of animal after transformation is not entirely based on the wizard's will.

It is precisely because of this that there is a flying broom,

As for why it is a broom instead of other carriers, it is mainly because it is inconspicuous, easy to hide, easy to carry and cheap, and can exist in the home openly without being suspected by Muggles.
