Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

【Remember the website I asked you to silently recite three times? If you don't remember, I'll ask again in the next chapter. It would be great if you could share it on Facebook】

"At tomorrow night's banquet, I'll introduce you to several local alchemy masters. They're very interested in your work. Building a relationship with them might help your alchemy progress further. After all, I'm not a professional alchemist," Bornes said casually, taking a small sip of whiskey.

"Thank you for your kindness," Anduin said with great respect for his mentor, who had always supported him. "I've also been corresponding with several alchemists in Cairo, and I've long wanted to meet them in person."

Bornes nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, if you have time these next few days, spend some time wandering around the Carah Black Market. The bookstores there sell a lot of alchemy-related books. This is, after all, the forefront of alchemy, with a lot of the latest information."

"I'm also very interested in Carah Black," Anduin nodded upon hearing this, then asked curiously, "Professor Bornes, besides attending the conference this time, I actually want to expand my alchemy business here. What conditions are required to sell alchemy products here?"

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so ambitious," Bornes chuckled. "You should have seen today that the market here is mostly stalls. If you're really interested in doing business, you can actually rent a stall to try it out."

"Are the stalls there available for rent at will?" Anduin's eyes lit up. He didn't know much about the situation here, but there are many restrictions on doing alchemy business in Britain. It must pass the Ministry of Magic's risk assessment.

"The outer stalls of the entire Carah Black Market are controlled by the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center. They are jointly managed with the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. Those merchants don't have actual property rights, so all the stalls are rented. Of course, some core stalls in good locations are rented long-term by alchemy masters to sell their own products, but there are still many short-term rental stalls."

"If you're interested, you can apply to the Alchemy Research Center inside the Carah Black Market. The location may not be particularly good, but the difficulty isn't too great."

"At the same time, the management of alchemy道具 categories here is quite relaxed. As long as they are not cursed items, even dark magic道具 can be sold normally. And if your products are popular enough, many local merchants should be willing to cooperate with you and act as agents for your products."

"So that's how it is. Then the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center must be very rich?" Anduin asked casually, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

"That's natural. You must know that researching alchemy itself is very resource-intensive, and all alchemy masters can be said to be piled up with Galleons," Bornes chuckled.

"Do you have any trusted friends locally who would be willing to be agents for my products?" If his products could open up the market in Egypt, Anduin would have the opportunity to expand them to all of Europe.

"I do," Bornes nodded. "But although they have a good impression of you, they are also very realistic people. If your products can't impress them, these old guys won't bother with you."

"I understand," Anduin nodded upon hearing this. He had a preliminary understanding of the environment in Egypt. Compared to the strict rules in Britain, this place values strength, including wealth and technology.

However, as someone who values pragmatism more, Anduin doesn't dislike this kind of ecosystem.

Next, the teacher and student chatted for a while, and Bornes also gave Anduin a good introduction to the local customs and then left his room.

After being alone, Anduin didn't rush out to wander around, but waited silently in the room. After some time, his door was knocked again. When he opened the door, he saw Aselia.

"How is it? Did you contact Thunderbird?" Anduin asked immediately after letting Aselia into the room.

"I've already contacted him. He asked me to meet him tonight. What should I do, sir?" Aselia knew that Anduin wanted to deal with Thunderbird, and her task this time was to assist.

"I've already located the other party's position through the 'Iseron' mask, but he's currently in downtown Cairo, which is inconvenient for me to take action."

"After you meet him tonight, the first thing you need to do is to find out the purpose of that guy's trip to Egypt. Of course, that guy is so conceited that he probably won't reveal it to you, but find out as much as you can."

"Secondly, you have to find a way to lure Thunderbird out of the city, preferably to an uninhabited area. If you can't do it right now, it doesn't matter. You can use me as bait, make up whatever you want."

Anduin had already found Thunderbird through the Iseron mask, but the other party was currently located not far from Carah Black, and besides him, there was actually another contact showing up from the Iseron mask.

Thinking of Aselia's previous introduction to the Silver Spear, Anduin suspected that the person was Iseron's former superior, 'Sphinx'. However, the person's current location was very special, actually inside the Carah Black Market, it seems that the other party's apparent identity is very special.

"Lure him out of the city?" Aselia looked at Anduin with some hesitation when she heard this. "Are you really planning to deal with him alone? Wouldn't that be too risky? Now that Chief Bianka and Mr. Bornes are here, and Mevis and I are also a fighting force. If we contact the local Ministry of Magic, we can have even more manpower. Why not just go to the door to arrest him?"

Aselia couldn't understand why Anduin had to make things so troublesome when he could gang up on him. After all, the other party was not weak. What if something went wrong? Could it be that Anduin, like Thunderbird, is an old antique who only thinks about one-on-one fights?

"I have my own sense of propriety on this point, and you don't need to worry about me. I need to secretly deal with Thunderbird, especially without letting others know about Thunderbird's existence and whereabouts. Just do as I say, understand?" Anduin sneered and didn't explain much to Aselia.

"Yes, sir," Aselia replied obediently, although she didn't understand.

After sending Aselia away, Anduin packed his bags and set off for Carah Black Market. He had to deal with Thunderbird, and he had to do his business.

After returning to Carah Black Market along the way he came, Anduin didn't go directly to the alchemy stalls, nor did he follow Bornes' instructions to find the Alchemy Research Center to rent a stall.

Instead, he followed the tracker of the Iseron mask and looked for the second contact in Egypt, knowing that this person was likely the head of the Silver Spear's Egyptian branch.
