Drilling through the door, Luke was surprised to find that it wasn't a room, but a rotating stairway leading underground.
The murals hanging on the walls on either side of the stairway made a variety of noises, probably like moans of pain, wails of terror, tortures of hell, and the sharp sound of fingernails scratching across a blackboard. The sounds blended together, and with the dim, greenish light, it was truly frightening.
Treading as softly as he could, Luke followed Mr Botkin slowly up the creaky old wooden stairs to a heavy vermillion wooden door. The hunched over Mr Botkin pushed the door open, and before Luke could get a closer look, there was a snap, and everything was bright and visible.
White, miserable light spread coldly throughout the room, a storage room, which did not have a single window. In the direction directly opposite the door, Luke saw at a glance all sorts of strange and bizarre biological specimens, dried corpses and bottles and jars of biological organs soaked in unknown liquids.
The left wall was full of storage compartments spread all the way to the ceiling. Some large bronze-coloured crates were stacked neatly in the right corner. Next to the crates was a long silver table with a withered human hand, a stack of bloodstained cards, and a dull, motionless glass eyeball on a cushion in a glass box, and a number of differently coloured potions and glass implements arranged on an iron shelf on the table.
Sweeping his eyes over a corner of the table, Luke's heart jumped as a dark blue orb was casually placed on a wooden shelf with a pile of prophecy orbs. The system beeped in his head, and Luke knew that the unimpressive orb was none other than the magical orb of Lady Luck Falls, the one he was looking for on this trip.
After switching on the light, Mr Botkin sat down at the long table, gently placed the tray on the table, pulled open the drawer, took out his gloves and put them on, and picked out a purple potion on the shelf, looking as if he was going to study the power of the necklace carefully.
Just as Luke carefully eased his footsteps to step into the room to look for an opportunity, a dazzling light flashed from Luke the moment he crossed his feet into the room. Luke was found by the defence device arranged in this treasure room to dispel the effect of the Illusionary Body Curse on his body, his figure appeared in the storage room without any concealment at once, Mr. Botkin left to draw his wand and turn around to point at Luke to cast a magic spell the moment the light flashed on.
"Hollowing spell! Hollowing spell!" The spells that Mr Borgin quickly sent were all dodged by Luke by virtue of his small size as a child and by using the obstacles around him to block them. The magic spells struck the shelves behind Luke, bottles and jars breaking apart and splattering the liquid inside everywhere; a skull grunted and rolled to the ground, its mouth wide open.
Even though he had already prepared himself for the possibility of the other party using the Unforgivable Spell, I guess that although Mr Botkin didn't want to risk being locked up for the rest of his life in Azkaban by using the Unforgivable Spell, the moment he raised his hand and threw it over was in a sense a more vicious curse magic, and he couldn't help but make the moon part of His Highness, Luke, who had hidden himself behind the obstacle, involuntarily tighten up.
Invented in the sixteenth century by Urquhart Raharo, whose portrait was currently hanging in the Dai Llewellyn Ward of St Mungo's Hospital for the Magically Sick and known to Luke from his visits to his mother's workplace, the exact effects of the spell were not yet known to Luke in any detail but it was known to be capable of pulling the intestines out of a person - from the top or the bottom. -from the top or the bottom is unknown.

In order to avoid this curse, while crouching behind the barrier Luke did not venture to stand up, but simply on the ground directly on his hands and knees to Mr. Bocking pounced on Mr. Bocking, beware of Luke stood up to cast the spell of Mr. Bocking in the face of this unexpected way of attack a little shocked, he even thought that he was facing a werewolf or vampire, vampire bites and werewolves bite wounds are similar to each other, but both are incurable.
For the sake of caution, not wanting to take the risk of being infected, Mr Botkin had to drop his wand and abandon the poison spell he had been about to cast, and he rolled and ducked out of the way.
And it was clear that Luke, who was actually committing a crime considered to be a bad deed, didn't want to hurt anyone, his target was not Mr Botkin but the magic ball on the table, only to see Luke grab the magic ball on the shelf and quickly scurry towards the door.
"Soft legs Ula! Locking Legs Cabal!" Stabilising his stance Mr Botkin stretched out his wand and chased after him, firing out a desperate succession of soft leg spells and leg locking spells from the rear in a bid to imprison his opponent.
But in the narrow rotating hallway, Luke, with the physical advantage brought by McLean's body alchemy, was flexible like a monkey, jumping up and down to avoid the attacks of the magic spells, but just when he was about to escape from the stairway, Luke didn't pay attention to the vines that suddenly sprang out of the stairway railing, and although he finally jumped in time with his reflexes and dodged the entanglement of the vines, he was also struck by the stupefying spells that were silently casted from the rear by Mr Botkin.
Fortunately, Luke's wizard robe will Mr. Botkin's this kind of power is not strong but easy to cast the stupefy spell bounced back, the result is once again unexpected Mr. Botkin had to temporarily stop and use the armour to protect the body to make a short transparent shield in front of his body.
It was at this point that Luke, who had already run out of the stairwell, had the opportunity to use the time difference to activate the Illusionary Body spell of the Mythical Wizard's Robe and escape.
Quickly leaving the Tumbledown Alley, the dazzling sunlight resurfaced on Luke, leaving the gloomy Diagonal Alley behind him and fading away. Luckily this time the victim who kind of innocently suffered the loss was Bokin, which allowed Luke to not bear any psychological burden, the big thing is to wait until later when he has the ability to protect himself to do a few more less price-conscious business with him as a compensation well.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the magical orb of the goddess of fortune, Fowles, the magical orb can lift specific kinds of negative effects and curses. There are 13 hours and 43 minutes left until the quest termination time."
With time running out, Luke checked the map in his head and was surprised to find that the location the iguana man was in was in the Muggle world, and in downtown London - Baker Street Station.
Making a snap decision, Luke took a taxi to the nearest tube station and rolled over to Baker Street Station. There was a poster-sized brass plaque that read, "This platform is hereby certified as part of the world's first Underground in 1863."
Generally, London Underground platforms are flanked by adverts, although Baker Street station is different, with space for promotional posters above each platform seat. The posters vividly depicted this platform when it first opened in 1863, making it a museum of London Underground history.
But Luke has no time to look at the posters as he realises that the icon that was just showing the Lizard Man here has quickly moved on to something else.
Luke was a bit overwhelmed, should he keep chasing its trail? At a loss for words, Luke saw the Tube map he had just picked up (In London, at every Tube station, passengers can pick up a free copy of the small Tube map, which is a little longer than a B5 paper.) , comparing it to the trajectory of the lizardmen's movements in his mind - the lizardmen's trajectory surprisingly coincided with the tube lines in a tight fit.
"And they ride the Muggle underground?"
