Lisandro confidently turned over his cards after he finished speaking.
Three Kings.
The biggest card besides the three Aces.
It wasn't that Lisandro didn't want Vasco to help him get the three Aces, but there were only two Aces in his pile.
Even so, he had already won, because the opponent couldn't make a bigger card than the three Kings.
At the same time, Murphy also turned over his cards.
"Impossible!!" Lisandro stood up all of a sudden, "You're cheating!"
The biggest three Aces were spread out in front of Murphy.
Lisandro spread out his remaining cards angrily, "I have two Aces here, you can't make up three Aces!"
Murphy glanced at the other party, "Why don't you take a closer look at your cards, are you sure you have two Aces?"
Lisandro looked down and was stunned.
Where are my Aces? I have two Aces that are so big!
I saw that the deck he spread out had all the suits and numbers, but there was no Ace.
This is impossible!
He had calculated it when he dealt the cards, two Aces on each side.
Did I do something wrong?
Cheating!
The other party must have cheated!
But the wand was still in the hands of the notary, and the other party didn't touch the cards the whole time. How did he do it?
"I won." Murphy said, and before Lisandro could refute, he took out another twenty Galleons from his pocket and put them on the table and pushed them over.
"What do you mean?" Lisandro was confused.
"A game, just to make friends, fairness is not important, and winning or losing is not that important, right?"
Lisandro hesitated for a while, and finally put the gold coins away.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Can we talk alone?"
"No need to bother!" Lisandro stood up, took the two people's wands from the notary, and looked around at everyone in the tavern, "The tavern is closed, get the hell out of here!"
After a while, apart from the bartender, only Lisandro and Murphy were left.
Lisandro took Murphy's wand, but did not return it. Instead, he asked, "How did you cheat?"
"It's boring to tell you." Murphy said, reaching out to hold his wand.
"This is my territory!" Lisandro warned.
Murphy glanced at him, "Do you want to win, or do you want money?"
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Lisandro let go.
"Can you tell me your purpose now?"
"I want potion materials, a lot of materials. I will buy your medicine at a price 10% higher than what you give to the pharmacy. I will take as much as you have. If you can get all the medicine on the market and make those pharmacies in Diagon Alley have no medicine to use, I will give you another 10%."
Malfoy wants to mess with me, so wouldn't it be rude not to cause him some trouble?
Lisandro was surprised and doubtful, "How much money do you have?"
Murphy smiled, "Enough."
After a quarter of an hour, Murphy left the Siren Song.
Lisandro sat quietly at the gambling table for a while. Suddenly, he looked at the bartender, "Master, should we agree to him?"
The bartender was still wiping the cup by himself, "There is money, why not make money?"
Lisandro nodded, "I understand."
After he said that, he couldn't help but reach out and turn over Murphy's cards.
Then he was stunned.
There were more than 20 Aces.
"What's going on? Magic? Wasn't his wand put away?"
After wiping the last cup, the bartender took out a skull-shaped wine jug from under the bar, poured some scarlet liquid into the cup, and took a sip.
"Fool, who said that wizards must have only one wand?"
...
Cheating is just like magic, it looks mysterious, but to be honest, it's not worth mentioning.
Murphy walked out of the tavern and put the wand seized from the bald wizard back to a conspicuous position on his waist.
And his own wand was hidden in a pocket in his left sleeve that was easy to pull out.
This was originally a preventive measure to prevent being disarmed, but it was unexpectedly used for the first time at the gambling table.
Just now, he took advantage of the time when Lisandro was controlling Vasco and cast the flying spell and transformation spell on Lisandro and his own deck with the wand hidden in his sleeve.
Using the flying spell to find the A in Lisandro's deck, he transformed it into other ordinary cards, thus eliminating the evidence of his cheating. At the same time, he transformed all his cards into A, so that no matter how Vasco chose, he could choose the biggest card for him.
When everyone thought that his wand had been taken away, he used Lisandro's attractive performance moment as a cover, and no one really discovered his cheating. This also made Murphy taste the sweetness of having an extra wand for the first time.
Using the bald wizard's wand has certain risks, but this is Knockturn Alley, and there are many old wands. After a while, he sold the bald wizard's wand and bought a few second-hand wands in good condition as backup.
Speaking of which, his own wand was bought by the original body at Ollivander, and Ollivander remembered every wand he sold.
It's like a registered gun. Once it is used to commit a crime, the person may be traced back.
Is this good?
This is not good!
Murphy thought about it, returned to the Toad Cellar to buy a bottle of shrinking potion, and then came to Diagon Alley, found a corner and drank the potion in one breath.
After a while, a black-haired boy walked into Ollivander's wand shop.
"Hello, is anyone there? I want to buy a wand?"
Olivander poked his head out from behind the shelf, "Who wants to buy a wand?"
"It's me." The boy replied.
"Oh, how old are you?"
"Eleven years old. I'm going to Hogwarts next year, so I want to buy a wand."
"Of course, of course. What's your name?"
"Murphy Darkholme."
Olivander was obviously stunned for a while, "Darkholme, ah, but, but..."
He looked at Murphy for a long time, "Yes, I remember you, Murphy, your wand is made of cypress, twelve and a half inches, with a unicorn hair core, a very beautiful wand, as outstanding as you... But, how come you..."
"Are you getting old and confused?" Murphy said, "I haven't bought a wand yet, choose one for me."
Olivander was puzzled, and seemed to be unable to understand everything in front of him, but under Murphy's urging, he finally started to choose a wand for him.
"Try this one first, cypress wood, unicorn hair, twelve and a half inches, and your original one..."
"Bang!"
Before Ollivander finished speaking, Murphy waved his wand and a small hole exploded on the ground.
"Oh! Oh... Well, this one won't work!"
"Then try this one..."
After trying five or six wands in a row, Murphy finally found one that worked for him.
"Oh, this one is great. It seems it has chosen you." Ollivander took Murphy's wand again and stroked it, "Aspen wood, fourteen inches, phoenix feather core... Yes, I remember this wand, this combination is unusual, very rare... It has both extreme power and multi-faceted control. This is a wand suitable for challengers and revolutionaries..."
"Extraordinary, Mr. Murphy, when you really start using this wand, you will definitely do something remarkable."
"Oh? Are you saying I will become a hero?"
