Chapter 1405??
A few days later, as the match day approached, the unprecedented scale of the International Wizards Duel Contest became apparent, and it attracted even more attention than the Quidditch World Cup.
In addition to tourists and duel lovers, wizard celebrities from all over the world have been attracted to this place, and many countries have sent official delegations here.
To this end, the Greek Ministry of Magic, which has experience in hosting the Quidditch World Cup, set up a campsite not far from the duel venue. Thousands of tents with strange shapes are stationed in it, and they descend along the gentle slope of the large field. , the site stretches out to a gentle beach.
Because the Muggle expulsion spell was cast in this area, Muggles, including the Muggle government themselves, think that this scenic spot is being maintained. Wizards who come here can decorate their tents at will, and even some more novel temporary Houses - Knowing this, their owners took pains to make them as distinctive and unique as possible by using their magic skills.
Countless foreigners moved freely in the camp, with various skin colors and costumes, speaking various languages, as if wizards from all over the world had gathered here. African wizards in long white robes and Indian-style wizards sat together, roasting something like a hare on a pile of purple fires.
These wizards, who are strangers to each other, can easily get acquainted with each other after they become temporary neighbors. At the moment of the duel competition, they don't have to worry about having nothing in common...
Naturally, there were not only tourists who came here for fame, but also many businessmen who planned to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
In addition to the tents, some street vendors and items with characteristics from all over the world were temporarily set up. From time to time, adult wizards could be seen getting out of their tents and wandering around in front of the various stalls.
This is the best thing for the Greek Ministry of Magic, because many wizards from other places also took the opportunity to hang out in the Greek magic world to boost the local economy—if there is no floating city near the sea and sky that attracts many tourists It's even better.
"Compared to the previous Quidditch matches or other large-scale events, there are a lot of novelties in the wizarding camp today." Kingsley Shacklebolt, wearing a purple robe, and Mad-Eye Moody Look for it in the tent area.
A few wizards dressed in Hogwarts college uniforms are casting a spell on an African wizard in an open space next to them. They use a square stone, crushed lime, a few grains of sand, a drop of water, and a few pieces of wood to conjure a farmhouse . Then he used wire and wood to create an invisible servant, and finally used silver wire and small bells to cast alarm spells with magic wands at entrances such as the house breaking into the gate. .
"Although I hate Harris, I just saw that the folding fortress of the umbrella research and development alchemy product is better than this farmhouse, stronger than the magic tent. It can be put in the trouser pocket, and it looks safe after it is released... I just went to find out. Suddenly, it has only one door, which cannot be opened by anyone except the user.
And it can go deep into the ground 10 feet, the foundation is very stable, unlike ordinary tents that are easy to be blown away. Moody's crutch tapped on the ground, and his magic eyes scanned the fortresses on the side of the road with arrow holes for the occupants to cast magic, with battlements on the top, and metal walls, "But this damn vampire , capitalists, a thing like this costs 300 Galleons, which is almost the same as a robbery... This is just the basic price, and the price varies with different interior decorations. Some configurations are added, which is more expensive than building a house It needs to be bigger, otherwise it is very suitable for Aurors to survive in the wild. "
"I prefer this kind of spell called Leomont Cabin, which college students provide services to cast. Its floor is flat, clean and dry, and it is very comfortable to live in. No one in Alastor wants to harm you now. You can choose to be more comfortable. . . . and it actually provides considerable security, with doors, windows, and even chimneys protected against intrusion." Kingsley shook his head at Moody's old insecurity, "and the superior fortress Yes, this spell can also create an invisible servant, although it is only a weakened temporary version of the house elf, which is not as good as Mister Handy, can only do one job at a time, and cannot use magic props like Mr. Handy, I can't even lift heavy objects, so I can only sweep the floor to open ordinary doors, cabinets and lids, etc., and do simple sandwiches...but it is good enough for ordinary family wizards as a temporary residence...the most important thing Its cost is very low compared to buying fortresses and brooms, but it allows college students to work and study for a small amount of money. The popular undead in the floating city are still difficult for wizards from other countries to accept... I have been busy with the duel competition In the end, I want to go to university to study, and spells like this shelter are really useful... I don’t believe in Ravenclaw, and I guess there is nothing to do with the temple.”
"I doubt how much an elite wizard like you can gain when he goes to university. Harris won't release the most cutting-edge technology, this damned, profit-seeking businessman..." Moody cursed a few times, "It is said that they provide the upgraded version of the hut spell to the high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries. The luxurious residence of the Magic Duncan mansion is not available even if you have money."
"I escorted the Russian minister in this morning..." Kingsley looked to the upper left, and the golden earring on one ear swayed slightly, "It is safer than fortresses and huts... created by this mansion technique Similar to the Room of Requirement, the space inside is in a different dimension, and there is only one specific entrance and exit connected to the outside world, so no matter how noisy the wizards inside and outside the house are, it will not affect the rest of the wizards in the house, and it can also provide enough for the owner. Safety and security... In a gorgeous hall connecting many rooms, the whole room is clean and warm." Kingsley paused, "The minister asked his servants to bring things over, explaining that you can also design the interior of the room according to your own preferences. The structure... There are far more invisible servants than the farmhouse, but I think this is probably useless to these powerful people, after all, they have house elves themselves, and they are all families that even Mr. Handy doesn't need to buy. ..."
"That's better than using black magic to summon skeletons to be maids. Kingsley and the others use invisible servants because necromancy is banned in Greece now." Moody's fake eyes looked around trying to find acquaintances in the Order of the Phoenix, "I still I prefer the Folding Fortress, who knows if these servants are really ignorant or Harris used this spell to spy on us."
"Hey, Alastor, Kingsley, we're here." Tonks' excited voice sounded.
Kingsley and Moody turned their heads in surprise, her hair was now dazzling pink, her belly was bulging, and Lupine beside her was supporting her nervously, as if he was afraid that his wife would fall over due to excitement , while Tonks himself was chasing some balloons that had just blocked each other's views.
And behind them is a complex of farmhouses, folding fortresses, and luxurious tents with the Black family crest—this kind of rich and powerful style needs no mention of Moody, who knows who did it.
"It's about to go into labor, Lupine, how dare you bring her here?!" Moody's crutch hit the ground heavily, and shouted at Lupine angrily, "If anyone wants to harm her, I'll see you Sometimes I can’t even cry.”
"Don't blame him, I insisted on coming... No one wants to pay me back!" Knowing that Mad-Eye was out of concern for himself, Tonks shook his head indifferently, and said joyfully, "We heard Remus say that Gellert told Dumbledore that someone was going to assassinate Allen, and Dumbledore sent him to help, so I followed to see if there was any need for me." Tonks He took out a small iron cube-like thing from his bag and threw it over to Moody.
"Alastor, Tonks and I just went shopping. You must like this folding fortress, but you have to arrange the furniture and safety measures yourself. It's just a basic model." Lupine didn't care about being scolded. , he hugged his wife happily, "It's a pity that the hut is a temporary spell, not an alchemy product, otherwise its advanced version of Leomond's secret hall is probably more suitable for you, it can turn itself into a stone or a tree or something It can also hide traces..."
"I'll bring something for your children in a few days...don't buy such an expensive thing for an old man like me next time." 1 Moody said in a muffled voice, then cursed at Lupin, "To you and As far as Remus is concerned, nothing is more important than you giving birth to a child, calm down, think about Tonks and the child in her womb, don't take risks for Harris, just a few of us are enough."
"Uh... I said, Hogwarts sent me a notice... On the day of the duel match, I was asked to attend the parent meeting at Gryffindor College." Sirius who rushed over from behind took out a A piece of crumpled parchment with the shiny Hogwarts badge on it, he looked at Kingsley and Mad-Eye nervously and said, "Josephine also specially reminded me that I'd better not Coming to the duel match...actually she wants the Order of the Phoenix to better not mess with them..."
