Chapter 988 Valkyrie Qualification Assessment

The Shetland Islands are located more than two hundred kilometers north of Scotland.

As the northernmost area of ​​British territory, it is almost close to the legendary no man's land.

Although the Shetland Islands are made up of over a hundred islands, not even twenty of them are inhabited.

There is no doubt that this is the most ideal back garden and temporary base for Hogwarts, which is located in the Scottish Highlands - compared with those lands that have been gradually developed by the non-magical world, at least in the past hundred years, the design The Tran Islands are still undisturbed and pure land.

"Just like how Azkaban was hidden, we used magic to directly mark the four uninhabited islands."

On the Hyperion bridge, Elena looked at the approaching coastline on the screen projection, and introduced it to Hermione and others beside her.

"They serve as a temporary maintenance base for the Hyperion, a research and development base for the Valkyrie series of magic mechas, a management place for the Foundation to store high-risk items... and a location reserved for an important follow-up project. .”

"Of course, due to time constraints, we mainly visited and did activities near the first two islands this time."

Not far behind her, Hannah lay curiously on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, looking at the temporary base directly ahead.

The huge island seemed to come alive, making loud noises and tremblingly splitting from left to right.

The seawater surged along the open cracks. The Hyperion, which had already adjusted its angle, rode on the waves and entered the berthing site of the temporary base very smoothly. The magic stance swept through the waves and condensed into an invisible giant net. Filter out guests who are not on the list.

The sea water that has not entered the island's channel slaps on the stand, forming huge vortexes of waves.

At the same time, a hint of wind gradually began to blow.

In an instant, they turned into waterspouts.

"Wow, so many fish—"

Hannah looked around with shining eyes.

This is not the big herring that jumps sporadically in the black lake of Hogwarts.

As the Hyperion slowly sailed into the center of the island, all the marine life carried by the ocean currents accumulated outside the "port".

Tens of thousands of fish were wandering around the periphery under the constraints of magic, and more and more fish were appearing, forming a fish bed like a tornado. On the high towers on both sides of the port, dozens of wizards walked to the edge and waved. Use the magic wand to guide the "waterspout" to fly higher and higher.

"As I said, the Hyperion is a large flat-top fishing vessel."

Elena glanced at the girls around her, then raised her head to look at the water rising high at the stern of the ship.

"I will never tire of seeing this kind of harvest scene in my lifetime - do you believe me now?"

As the world's richest body of water for seafood, the wars surrounding this body of water have never stopped.

The Hyperion uses submersible and mimicry magic. When it cruises in the ocean, there is a certain probability that it will form small ocean currents, enveloping nearby marine life into its channel. When it enters the harbor and docks... that is a The new harvest season has arrived.

"But with so many fish, why are they so rarely seen on school tables?"

Hermione looked at the waterspout getting further and further away, and keenly caught the flaw in Elena's words just now.

"Because it doesn't taste good——"

Elena shrugged and answered very naturally.

"Compared to sea fish, freshwater fish is more suitable for developing students. Moreover, whether it is dairy products or meat products, these Hogwarts kitchen supply logics based on nutritional balance are obviously rarely used in the open sea. Caught fish.”

"As for the final destination of those seafood..."

Elena raised her finger, crossed it frivolously across Hermione's chin, and landed on the emblem on her left breast.

"As the assistant to the captain of the Hyperion and a future senior member of the O5 Council, you should learn to find the answers yourself. Do you think so? Dear A-level Commander, Miss Hermione Granger - you are not now A second year student at Hogwarts."

Snapped!

"Please mind your appearance, Captain Kaslana."

Hermione slapped Elena's paw away and said angrily.

At Elena's suggestion, they had just taken off their heavy wizard robes in the captain's room and put on the uniforms of the Hyperion.

Different from Hogwarts's loose and obstructive robes, the Hyperion uses a tight jacket similar to that in science fiction movies, with gold, red and white as the main colors. Taking into account the relationship that may control Valkyrie, Below is a close-fitting combat uniform.

Of course, the innermost customized battle suit is limited to Elena's four people, not all members of the ship.

Valkyrie is too advanced for this era. Even without powerful artificial intelligence assistance, it is enough to dominate most battlefields.

What's more, it's not impossible to replace "Jarvis" in the magical world. If it weren't for loyalty issues, Elena even thought about trying to tear Tom Riddle's diary into pages. , as the plug-in intelligence of the "Valkyrie" armor.

"One of the captain's jobs is to help everyone get out of confusion——"

Elena said righteously, not at all embarrassed because she was interrupted while eating tofu.

"I'm just checking to see if your uniform fits. After all, this involves the subsequent Valkyrie test. This is business."

"oh--"

Hermione raised her eyebrows and drawled out a long note.

Under the threatening gaze of the little beaver, Elena retracted her paws that circled behind Hermione.

In fact, Elena's reason just now was not completely random.

Unlike Luna, Hannah, and herself, who can get real-time measurements directly from Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, Hermione, as the head coach, does not have additional benefits of customizing the Quidditch uniform. Her body size is still the same. Using data from this year's start of school.

The core of the "Valkyrie" uniform provided by the Hyperion is the combat uniform made of special materials.

Hermione, who just turned thirteen this year, is in the developmental stage. Judging from Elena's feedback just now...

Sure enough, it's still a little tight?

Elena glanced at Hermione's tense chest, feeling particularly complicated.

As time went by, irreparable cracks finally appeared in the former tablet alliance.

If nothing else, by the end of this semester at most, Hermione's suit might not be able to be zipped up as smoothly as it is now.

"Hey, Captain, when can we try your...exclusive armor?"

Just when Elena fell into melancholy, Hannah ran over from the window at some point and asked expectantly.

"I mean, I should meet the requirements now, right?"

Although Hannah usually seems a bit naive, she is not stupid.

If the original process is followed, she will become the future female prefect of Hufflepuff House. This is the best way to verify potential in Hufflepuff House. After all, both in terms of competition and fairness. , this position is second only to the female student union president in terms of value.

When Valkyrie was displayed in Hangar No. 1 just now, Elena had already introduced in detail the requirements for the "Valkyrie" armor.

1. Excellent flying talent.

2. Strong physical fitness.

3. Start the key.

You know, Hannah is neither a chocobo nor a weak lucky girl.

As the recognized second shooter at Hogwarts, Hannah naturally had no problems with the first two points.

As for the "Valkyrie" armor activation authority that originally seemed to be the most troublesome, after she got the "Wand No. 0" from Elena and successfully completed several spell castings, there was no suspense anymore - that was Huber The highest authority of the Lean is equivalent to Elena.

"Huh? If it's you Hannah, it's not impossible."

Elena nodded and pointed towards the docking point on the bridge command panel.

"In fact, this is also the reason why we come here. The resting point of the Hyperion is not only for the repair of the hull. This is the only entrance to several other islands. If you want to go to Valkyria If you want to build a research and development base, you must go through here.”

During the conversation between the two, the Hyperion gradually came to a stop, and the connection point began to open.

Unknowingly, the original real-time model on the bridge of the Hyperion gradually extended.

In addition to the hull of the Hyperion, layers of translucent building modules flashed out and surrounded the side.

"If you can pass some basic 'Valkyrie Qualification Tests,' maybe I can let you take a test flight before returning to school."

"Valkyrie qualification test? Is there still a test!!"

Hannah blinked in confusion, looking a little panicked, and asked cautiously.

"...There's no written test, right?"

"Don't worry, almost all of them are actual combat——"

Elena smiled slightly and glanced meaningfully at Hannah's tense heart.

"However, as a commander initially rated as A-level, the test you face may not be that easy..."
