Chapter 1331 ? Prosperity
And behind the floating ship, beyond the accident of the Muggle Prime Minister's family, the Hogwarts patrol team wearing uniforms and protective umbrellas rushed quickly, waving their wands and quickly put out the flame monster. The monsters were quickly brought under control,
A girl with short black hair and two big boys were picked out by those who seemed to be surrounded by criticism.
"Aha, it turned out to be a few of them." Long eyes closed their glasses and explained to the Prime Minister in a relaxed tone, "That's Miss Parkinson, Mr. Gower, and Mr. Crabbe, they are all from Hogwarts Students... It seems that they practiced spells in an accident..." Changyan pointed to the fat man who was trained the worst, "This fat boy is called Crabbe, he should be the one who set Fierce Fire... He was an almost The poor student who repeated the grade, it is estimated that the little witch is taking him to make up lessons... But it is time to teach him a good lesson, he dared to set fire without knowing how to reverse the curse, and he is not afraid of burning himself to death..."
"Just a few middle school students making such a big commotion?!!!" Hearing this, the Prime Minister's tone was very surprised. You must know that the impact of the flames just now made him very worried. If these flames were burning in London, he probably wouldn't have I have to peel off my skin when I step down.
"Oh, it's mainly related to the characteristics of this black magic. This spell can create magical fires that are constantly becoming more and more powerful. These fires can mimic the shape of some monsters, and they will continue to hunt down and kill everything that can burn, regardless of whether it is enemy or friend. And it cannot be extinguished by water...Unless you use a counter-curse, or wait until there is no combustibles to burn around, otherwise there is no way to destroy it.” Changyan shrugged and said in a joking tone, “Actually, if this little fat man is in Spain released a small piece of Fiendfire, and no other wizards in the wizarding world stopped it... Theoretically...just theoretically this fire can burn from Spain to North Korea...in Australia because of this kind of stupidity My own forest burned..."
The Muggle Prime Minister let out an "uh" sound in his throat. Because of excessive fear, his neck was stiff and his eyes were straight. Whether it was the powerful productivity of the wizards or the irresistible force... The sights seen along the way made people The prime minister felt even more fear, especially the fat boy who was repeated just now. Even his wife and son, who had just called him amazing just now, were keenly aware of the meaning of the long-eyed words—even if it was a wizard school. One of the poor students who almost repeated a grade seems to have the ability to destroy the Muggle country...
The Prime Minister's family already knew that they were not equal to the wizards, but now they feel this more intuitively. It's not just that they need to worry about being manipulated by these wizards mentally, but now they also have advantages in productivity and direct force. This is still a little bit of strength shown to him by the wizards... The Prime Minister’s back was tense, and his heart was pulled together with worry. Just now Alan Harris planned to give him a house. Does this mean that these wizards want to take advantage of the opportunity of cooperation, Come and rule your own world of ordinary people.
"Oh, Your Excellency Anthony, please don't worry about these issues..." Seeing the frightened appearance of the Prime Minister, Changyan comforted him pretending to be apologetic, "Recently, the Ministry of Magic, the Umbrella and the Muggle government have been cooperating very happily...you You know, wizards in the wizarding world basically have no interest in the Muggle world. If Principal Harris really wants to take action against the Muggle world... In fact,
Sir Anthony, none of what you are worried about will happen... The high-level officials hope to maintain this kind of friendly and cooperative relationship with the Muggle government more because they want to obtain some raw materials and earn some profits. "
The Prime Minister's family had no way to respond immediately, they were still digesting what happened just now.
"In fact, as long as they live in the floating city for a period of time, I guess no one is willing to go back to the original ordinary world...whether it is the magic world or the Muggle world. And our population...Your Excellency Anthony ignored the comparison between our population and the Muggle world. It’s a very small problem.” Changyan looked at the Prime Minister calmly, as if he didn’t see the horror and shock he could see through his mind, and he raised his chin proudly, which is rare for him who is usually very humble, “The Floating Void City itself It is already the largest gathering place for wizards in the world's wizarding world, so the amount of raw materials we need is almost negligible for the Muggle world, but what we can create for you is far beyond what we can get... so don't worry, Rather than spend a lot of effort to disperse all wizards and rule Muggles... we can indeed do it, but it will not do us any good. We are more willing to establish a mutually beneficial relationship in this way, with more An easy and mutually acceptable means to achieve this goal...As for Principal Harris and Miss Granger, they will have further discussions with you in private...As for now we are almost at our destination..."
At this time, the Prime Minister noticed that the sound of shouting and bargaining was coming from the bottom of the floating ship. He looked down from the side of the ship. This is an ever-changing and always busy commercial square; The huge building of the market is a crowded, bustling maze of stalls and hagglers.
The trade going on in this area attracts merchants and wares from all over the wizarding world, and merchants and purchasers from all races and regions are welcome here—men with jeweled rings on every finger and luxurious attire. Witches shouting loudly for the supplies they want to buy, with scarves wrapped around their heads, and witches who wrapped themselves up in weird clothes gesticulating without saying a word. Salary wizards in uniform... No matter what their status is, it seems that they are here Can feel at home.
Magical creatures are bought and sold here, and all kinds of potions, poisons and magical plants are also available here. There are even specific booths where you can receive and send messages from any place and ethnic group, those who are not very popular in the magic world. Creatures have been released in the market area - as long as there is no riot and order is maintained, even werewolves and trolls with enough intelligence not to knock people away at will can be satisfied in those curtained stalls in the market area At the same time, avoid the panicked eyes of the wizards.
According to the decree issued by Floating Void City, except for the approved fixed booths, those temporary booths must be moved around. A stall can stay for up to thirty-three days.
Doing so also forces visiting buyers to roam the bazaar area in search of their favorite stall or business. In this way, even the locals cannot quickly find the goods they want based on experience, and are forced to browse as many stalls as possible, and the opportunities for impulsive consumption become as much as possible—and for wizards It is said that it is almost instantaneous to pack your own goods and change places. A few decades ago, wizards could make some large-scale circuses automatically pack them into a small carriage with one click.
And the new magic scrolls launched by Hogwarts University are undoubtedly the best-selling items recently. The magic attached to these magic scrolls is relatively advanced, and ordinary wizards cannot use them with their own knowledge. The materials needed for the scroll itself are not valuable, and the cost is more of a manual point, so it is not expensive, and as long as you add it yourself, you only need a little magic power to activate it, so many wizards have already developed the habit of keeping several sets of scrolls on their bodies. emergency.
Others are more common than selling wine, cheese and imported products from other countries. The aroma of some more exotic grilled fish, venison pie, and even dragon meat pie permeates this commercial square.
Generally speaking, the types and prices of commodities 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 wooden boards left on the stalls, the prices will change. Lift up quickly.
Although the relationship between the goblin and Harris is not good, this will not affect their interest in all profitable businesses. These things will not dislike the unique currency in the floating city-although this indirectly damages Jin Jia. Ron's interests help popularize the gold coin of the Void Wizard Bank.
And Wuxin, which can really guarantee that the business will always be good, is the SPA of Veela.
Many wizards go there at least once a day after get off work. Regardless of men, women, or children, they combine bathing, massage, and applying skin care products and aromatherapy to promote health, and satisfy the human body's vision, taste, touch, smell, and thinking to achieve a pleasant physical and mental enjoyment. There are also wizards who are keen on simple relaxation and often hold business meetings, simple chats or casual gatherings on the adjacent massage sofa.
And this is the easiest place to tell whether a visitor is a native of the Floating Void City or an outsider. The idiots who are not used to getting along with veela are very easy to become obsessed and lose their sanity, and even want to do some strange things to attract patrols The arrest of the team.
"As long as you have enough money, you can theoretically buy anything in the market area." Changyan proudly boasted to the Muggles, "As long as the other party can afford the price, wizards can use the floating ship to teleport from anywhere in the world." Fresh products and items..." Looking at the boat slowing down, he bowed to the prime minister's family, who was dazzled by the prosperity of the business district, "Your Excellency Anthony, Mrs. Cherry and Master Euan, welcome to Hogwarts Floating empty city..."
Whoosh—whoosh—
Fierce 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 jumping in the air, swishing around nimbly, and countless colorful fireworks burst in front of the Muggle Prime Minister, and gathered together to become a huge raven that seemed to be flying. , rushed towards the airship.
"It's so warm, and there is also a landing welcome ceremony." When the Muggle Prime Minister visited other countries, he could hear the military ceremony and music, but it was rare to see such a dazzling fireworks feast, let alone the magic world.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, the fireworks are just a coincidence... This is the Ravenclaw Temple's celebration for the Squibs. The Ravenclaw Temple is the most sacred place in the floating city, and it has a special status. It is a holy place for wizards who believe in the Ravenclaw goddess." The long eyes seemed not to see the embarrassment froze on the Prime Minister's face, and then eased it, "Don't worry, Principal Harris has prepared a welcome ceremony for you, I think those college students His profound magic will definitely open our eyes."
Looking at the largest building in the north of this commercial square, the towering spires, pointed arches, and exaggeratedly large stained glass windows reminded the Prime Minister's family of cathedrals that took hundreds of years to complete. The Ravenclaw statue, which somewhat violates the principles of Muggle architecture, demonstrates the architectural art of wizards.
"I'm really looking forward to it..." The Muggle Prime Minister also took the opportunity to quickly hide his discomfort just now, as if nothing happened just now, "Ravenclaw Temple, are there really gods in this world?"
"Your Excellency Anthony, don't be rigid, you are our distinguished guest... In fact, if you are interested, I can inform the welcome party and ask them to wait for a while." Seeing the Prime Minister's expected reaction, Changyan tentatively He asked, "How about I take you to the Ravenclaw Temple to observe first? This is also a rare opportunity, maybe you can see the goddess descending in person..."
