Chapter 1355 Spiral Town
St. Augustine's Abbey, a building that was apparently left with only wreckage due to a storm, but was actually repaired by the British Ministry of Magic as the entrance to the latest wizarding settlement.
Since the number of wizards in the wizarding world has been increasing year by year with the opening of the concept of bloodlines, the Ministry of Magic had planned to establish a new street purely for wizards decades ago.
To be honest, due to insufficient funds, the construction speed of this street has not been very fast. If there hadn't been so many messy things happening recently, it may take another ten or twenty years before this wizarding district in Canterbury is officially opened to the public.
But now, in the old block of "Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley"... no, even the whole of London has to be temporarily abandoned, it has become an imperative to open the new block that has not been fully completed in advance. Necessary resettlement methods for asylum seekers.
Right now, the first to enter this place called "Hilex Town" is the British Ministry of Magic team that has just withdrawn from London.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've been here since I took office... I've heard about the construction plan of this new wizard town before, but I've never come to see it with my own eyes..."
Scrimgeour stood at the head of the crowd at the Ministry of Magic, looking at the wide street in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little delicate.
"By the way, what's the name of this place?"
"'Silex Town', sir—it was the name given by the minister who initiated the construction plan at that time." The secretary behind him replied immediately.
"'Helix Town'?" Scrimgeour nodded, "It's really an appropriate name."
It can be seen that this street and the spiral three-dimensional buildings on both sides of the street are very different from the old-fashioned style on Diagon Alley.
It's just that the construction work here has continued for decades, so that the architectural style has a sense of gradual change.
Just like the neighborhood near the entrance, you can clearly see the traces of decades ago, but the further you extend, the more novel the style becomes. Even in the street in the distance, modern buildings such as high-rise buildings have begun to appear.
But it is worth mentioning that, obviously, at the end of the road farthest from the entrance here, they can still see unfinished buildings and even a large area of vacant land waiting to be built.
"Okay," Scrimgeour thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Go to someone and inform the temporary camp of the Diagon Alley evacuation team! The asylum seekers can be arranged to come in... Although 'Spiral Town' is still far away to the point of complete completion,
But now there is no way, is it? "
"Okay, Minister! I'll send someone to send a letter..." It was still the secretary just now who said, "It's just that there is still St. Mungo's team, do you want to notify them as well?"
"Come according to the number of people and the distance from downtown London!" Scrimgeour said, "The asylum seekers from Diagon Alley will enter first, and then St. Mungo's and the Museum's will come in batches... we It takes time to get ready.”
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Minister."
As soon as the words were finished, the secretary of the minister turned around immediately and hurried to get the owl.
After Scrimgeour watched him leave, he looked at Kingsley who had just rushed over to join them and said:
"A series of security work such as defense and security will be handed over to your Auror office, especially the St. Augustine Monastery as the entrance-the ruins can only fool the Muggles. If you want to really hide it, you have to think about other things. Only way!"
"Well," Kingsley nodded slightly, "I think we can ask Mr. McLean for his opinion on the security work here, what do you think, Minister?"
...
When Lupine got the letter from Canterbury, he had a bit of a headache, to be honest.
Of course, it wasn't the matter of sending the asylum seekers to the new district that gave him a headache...well, at least that wasn't the most direct reason.
"Mr. Lupine? I think we'll have to send to London—Mr. Stewart must be in some trouble for not being here for so long! We can't keep waiting here—"
It was the deputy leader of the group of American wizards who spoke. When Stuart was away, he was responsible for leading the group of American support teams.
But right now, the other party was bringing all the people brought by Barlow Stewart, and Qiqi was standing in front of Lu Ping.
As for what happened... In fact, the other party has made it very clear that their leader, Stuart, has not appeared until now. When they couldn't wait for the left and right, they seemed to be unable to wait any longer.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't understand everyone's worries, but... some of you came here in the next few batches, and I believe you have seen the black pillar of flames that appeared in the city center at that time. Obviously, the city of London has already It has become more and more dangerous, and even if we send someone there, the possibility of not coming back is very high."
"It's because of the danger that we are going to find Mr. Stewart all the more!"
Hearing the rebuttal of the big man in the crowd, which aroused the approval of many people, Lupine only felt that his headache was even worse.
"Okay, let's do it!" He paused, secretly suppressing the helplessness in his heart, "Give me some more time, I'll contact Mr. McLean to see his opinion, and then how about we make a decision?"
Whether it was Maca's help to the American magic community in the past, or Maca's strength in the disaster this time, they all left a very good impression on this group of American wizards. So when Lupine proposed to ask Maca for advice, they couldn't help but pass each other a questioning look.
After a while, the deputy team leader spoke on behalf of everyone in the team:
"Mr. Lupine, we actually understand your embarrassment. After all, you are right. London is indeed very dangerous now. It's just...well, forget it! In short, if you want to ask Mr. McLean, then Hurry up! In order not to cause trouble for you rashly, we will wait for another half an hour..."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly changed the subject and said very seriously:
"However, as long as the time passes and there is no answer, we can only go to London by ourselves. I hope that our itinerary will not have too much impact on your plan."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Lupine only had time to nod his head, those American wizards turned around and left here one after another. He lowered his head subconsciously, and took another look at the letter paper in his hand.
Scrimgeour was telling them to move to a new block, but there was still work to be done, and he didn't have the time to send people on the road again.
"Well, please wait a little longer!"
Lupine put the letter in his hand aside, then took out a blank letter paper again, leaned over and began to write a letter to Maca.
...
It was already noon when Maca received Lupine's letter, and he was eating the lunch Hermione brought him. Because I finally left the foggy London where supplies were gradually scarce, this lunch became much richer than the previous few days.
In the tent, the three of them sat around the table, eating until their stomachs were round.
Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, the owl landed outside the tent and "cuckooed" several times towards the tent.
With a backhand wave, Maca lifted the curtain at the entrance of the tent and let the owl outside in.
However, not long after, Maca, who had roughly read the entire article, was suddenly taken aback.
"Maka, where did the letter come from, what happened?"
Hearing Hermione's question from the opposite side, Maca threw the letter paper and the envelope on the table, and motioned to the two of them to pick it up if they wanted to read it.
"Mr. Stewart... As I remember, he is the principal of Ilvermorny in the United States? Maca, do you think he is really still in London?" Hermione asked this first, but then shook her head, "Well, Or in other words, if he is still in London with his strength, is it possible to live until now?"
"Ok?"
Maca thought for a while, then shrugged.
"Maybe he's still alive! Headmaster Neville Stewart's strength is very good, and he seemed to have hidden something before, so he's probably stronger than we imagined. However, the premise is that he doesn't easily fight head-on, and he can run as long as he can! "
"So... Lupine asked you to give me advice or something, what do you think?"
"Of course it's best not to go looking for someone," Maca shook her head and said, "London today is not so easy to get into!"
That being said, since Lupine was so worried that he sent a letter to ask his opinion, it meant that the group of American wizards might not be able to bear it any longer.
But then again...
"Stewart hasn't gone there yet?" He pondered in his heart, "Although that guy is indeed awkward, but he has never done anything harmful... What exactly is he here for?" Remember the URL of this site, www. biquxu. Com, convenient for reading next time, or Baidu input " ", you can enter this site
