Behind the floating ship, something beyond the surprise of the Muggle Prime Minister and his family, the Hogwarts patrol team wearing uniforms and protective umbrellas rushed over quickly. They waved their wands and quickly extinguished the flame monster. The flames had just lost control. The monsters were quickly brought under control;
A girl with short black hair and two big boys were picked out by those people and seemed to be surrounded in the middle to receive criticism.
"Aha, it turns out it's a few of them." Longyan put his glasses together and explained to the Prime Minister in a relaxed tone, "Those are Miss Parkinson, Mr. Goyle, and Mr. Crabbe. They are all from Hogwarts." Students... It seems they had an accident while practicing magic..." Long Eye pointed at the fat man who had been trained the worst, "This fat boy is called Crabbe, he must have made him angry... He was a near-miss in school. He is a poor student who is repeating a grade. He is probably being tutored by the little witch... but he needs to be taught a lesson. He has not learned the counter-spell yet and dares to set off violent fire without fear of burning himself to death..."
"Just a few middle school students made such a big fuss?!!!" Hearing this, the Prime Minister's tone was very surprised. You must know that the impact of those flames just now made him worried. If these flames were burning in London, he would probably not be able to do so at this time. I have to shed my skin even when I step down.
"Oh, it's mainly due to the characteristics of this black magic. This spell can create magical fires that continue to become more and more powerful. These fires can mimic the form of some monsters, and continue to hunt down everything that can burn regardless of the enemy or friend. Object. And it cannot be extinguished by water... Unless you use a counter-spell or wait until there is no combustible material to burn around, there is no way to destroy it." Long Eye shrugged and said in a joking tone, "In fact, if this little fat man is here, Spain released a small piece of fierce fire, but no other wizards in the magical world stopped it... Theoretically... It's just that theoretically this fire can burn from Spain to North Korea... In Australia, because such idiots often set it randomly My own forest is burned..."
The Muggle Prime Minister made a sound in his throat. Excessive fear made his neck stiff and his eyes straightened. Whether it was the productivity of the wizards or the irresistible force... the sights he saw along the way made him... The Prime Minister felt more fear in his heart, especially the fat boy who had just repeated a grade. Even his wife and son, who had just called him awesome, were now keenly aware of the meaning of having eyes - even in a wizard school. One of the poor students who almost repeated a grade seems to have the ability to destroy the Muggle nation...
The Prime Minister's family already knew the disparity between them and the wizards, but now they feel this more intuitively. This is not just about worrying about being mentally controlled by these wizards, but now there are also advantages in productivity and direct force. This is still a small amount of strength that the wizards showed him... The Prime Minister's back tensed, and his heart was pulled together with worry. Alan Harris just planned to give him a house. Does this mean that these wizards want to take advantage of the opportunity of cooperation? Come and rule the world of ordinary people like yourself.
"Oh, Sir Anthony, please don't worry about these problems..." Seeing the frightened and shocked look of the Prime Minister, Long Eye pretended to be apologetic and comforted, "The Ministry of Magic, Umbrella and the Muggle government have been cooperating very happily recently... You You know, wizards in the magical world basically have no interest in the Muggle world. If Principal Harris really wants to take action against the Muggle world, you don’t have to go to so much trouble... In fact, Mr. Anthony, none of what you are worried about will happen... The senior officials hope to work with The Muggle government maintains this friendly cooperative relationship more because it wants to obtain some raw materials and earn some profits."
The Prime Minister and his family were unable to respond immediately as they were still digesting what had just happened.
"In fact, as long as they live on the floating city for a period of time, I guess no one will want to go back to the ordinary world...whether it is the magical world or the Muggle world. And our population... Mr. Anthony ignored the comparison between our population and the Muggle world. It's a very small problem." Long Yan looked at the Prime Minister calmly, as if he didn't see the panic and shock caused by his ability to see through the other person's mind. He, who was usually very humble, raised his chin in a rare and proud manner, "The Floating City itself It is already the largest gathering place for wizards in the global wizarding world, so the amount of raw materials we need is almost negligible to the Muggle world, but what we can create for you far exceeds what we can obtain...so please rest assured, Rather than spending a lot of effort to disperse all wizards to rule Muggles... we can indeed do it, but it will not do us any good. We are more willing to establish mutually beneficial relationships in this way and use more Easily and mutually acceptable means to achieve this goal... As for Principal Harris and Miss Granger, they will have further discussions with you privately... As for now, we are almost at our destination..."
Only then did the Prime Minister notice that the noisy shouts and bargaining sounds were coming from diagonally below the floating ship. He looked down from the side of the ship. This was an ever-changing and always busy commercial square; this was a place similar to the Roman Arena. A huge building, a crowded, bustling maze of stalls and hagglers.
The ongoing trade in this area has attracted merchants and goods from the entire magical world. Merchants and buyers from all races and regions are welcome here - men with jeweled rings on every finger and luxuriously dressed men. The witch yelled loudly about the supplies she wanted to buy. She had a scarf wrapped around her head and was wrapped tightly in strange clothes. The witch was gesturing without saying a word. The salaried wizard in uniform... No matter what his identity was, he seemed to be here. Everyone can feel at home.
Magical creatures are bought and sold here, and various potions, poisons and magical plants can also be obtained here. There are even specific stalls here that can receive and send messages from any place and ethnic group. Those who are not originally popular in the magic world Creatures have been released in the market area - as long as they do not cause riots and maintain order, even werewolves and trolls with enough intelligence not to knock people away at will can be satisfied in the curtained stalls in the market area At the same time, avoid the panic eyes of the wizards.
According to the decree issued by the Floating City, in addition to approved fixed stalls, those temporary stalls must be moved around. A stall can stay up to thirty-three days.
This also forces visiting buyers to roam the market area in search of their favorite stall or merchant. In this way, even locals cannot quickly find the products they want based on experience, and are forced to browse as many stalls as possible, and the opportunities for impulsive consumption become as numerous as possible - and for wizards It is said that packing one's goods and moving them can be done almost instantly. Decades ago, wizards could automatically pack some large-scale circuses into a small carriage with one click.
The new magic scrolls launched by Hogwarts University are undoubtedly the best-selling products recently. The magics attached to these magic scrolls are relatively advanced and cannot be performed by ordinary wizards with their own knowledge. These magic scrolls have the symbol of protective umbrella. The materials required for the scroll itself are not valuable. The cost is more manual, so it is not expensive. It only requires a little magic power to activate it, so many wizards have developed the habit of keeping a few sets on them. Emergency.
The other more common items are wines, cheeses and imported products from other countries. The aroma of some more exotic grilled fish, venison pies, and even dragon meat pies permeates this commercial square.
Generally speaking, the types and prices of goods change with supply and demand. When goblins or foreign visitors arrive in large numbers and want to buy everything in the market area until there are only bare boards left on the stalls, the prices will Lift quickly.
Although the relationship between goblins and Harris is not good, this does not affect their interest in all profitable businesses. These things will not dislike the unique currency on the floating city - although this indirectly damages Jin Jia. Long's interests helped the floating city wizard bank's gold coins become popular.
What really guarantees good business is the Veela SPA.
Many shamans will go there at least once a day after get off work, regardless of age or sex, to combine bathing, massage, and application of skin care products and aromatherapy to promote health and satisfy the body's vision, taste, touch, smell, and thinking to achieve a physical and mental pleasure. There are also shamans who are keen on simple relaxation and often hold business meetings, simple chats or casual gatherings on the adjacent massage sofa.
Moreover, this is the place where it is easiest to tell whether the visitor is a native of the Floating City or a gangster from out of town. Idiots who are not used to getting along with Veela are very easy to become obsessed and lose their minds, and even want to do some strange things to attract patrols. team’s arrest.
"As long as you have enough money, you can theoretically buy anything in the market area." Long Eye proudly boasted to the Muggles, "As long as the other party can afford the price, wizards can use the floating ship to transport it from anywhere in the world. Fresh products and items..." Chang Yan saw that the boat had begun to slow down and bowed to the Prime Minister's family who was dazzled by the prosperity of the business district, "Sir Anthony, Mrs. Cherry and Master Euan, welcome to the Hogwarts Float. Empty city…”
Whoosh——whoosh——
Warm fireworks suddenly rose from the temple square, rose into the air and exploded with a bang. These fireworks seemed to have turned into golden snakes leaping in the air, swishing flexibly and scattering in all directions. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Countless colorful fireworks exploded in front of the Muggle Prime Minister, and then gathered together to form something as if The huge raven was spreading its wings and swooped towards the floating ship.
"It's so warm. There is also a landing welcome ceremony." When the Muggle Prime Minister visits other countries, he can hear military rituals and music, but it is rare to see such a bright fireworks feast, let alone the magical world here.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, these fireworks are just a coincidence... This is the Ravenclaw Temple celebrating the Squibs' great event. The Ravenclaw Temple is the most sacred place on the floating city and has a special status. A holy place for wizards who believe in the goddess Ravenclaw." Long Eye seemed not to see the embarrassment on the Prime Minister's face, and then eased it, "Don't worry, Principal Harris has prepared a welcome ceremony for you. I miss those college students. The profound magic will definitely open our eyes."
Looking at the largest building in the north of this commercial square, with its towering spires, pointed arches, and exaggerated stained glass windows with stories painted on them, the Prime Minister and his family were reminded of those Muggle cathedrals that took hundreds of years to complete, and the top of the temple tower The shape of the Ravenclaw statue, which somewhat violates the principles of Muggle architecture, demonstrates the architectural art of wizards.
"I'm really looking forward to that..." The Muggle Prime Minister also took the opportunity to quickly cover up his discomfort, as if nothing happened just now, "Ravenclaw Temple, are there really gods in this world?"
"Sir Anthony, don't be rigid, you are our distinguished guest... In fact, if you are interested, I can inform the reception party and ask them to wait for a while." Looking at the expected reaction of the Prime Minister, Changyan said tentatively Asked, "How about I take you to the Ravenclaw Temple to observe? This is a rare opportunity. Maybe you can see the goddess coming in person..."
