Chapter 1186 ?Inspection
The group of people returned to the city tower and headed to the boat docking area. A huge floating ship with a sail battleship with a raven's bow had long been parked here. This huge ship with three masts and three decks was not like a squid ship used for transportation. Or the Nautilus, which is used more as a deterrent to declare power and patrol around the floating city with the fire dragons. At this time, it is just used as Allen's flagship.
Percy Weasley, one of the accompanying officials, straightened his back. He strode over and took over the work from the sailor to set up the stairs. Although it was a bit out of place for him as the new Director of the Department of Magical Transportation to do such a small thing personally. .
After the giant ship took off, the immigrants began to restore normal order at the entrance to Hogwarts.
Standing on the side of the ship on the top deck and looking down, the streets at the entrance to Hogwarts were full of people, and it seemed that the population was much more lively than before.
Suddenly, the vision went dark, and then turned bright again. The three Hesidian Islands black dragons responsible for patrolling the sky descended from a high altitude under the control of the wizards riding behind them and began to escort the battleship.
They are a fire dragon native to Britain and are more aggressive than the Welsh Green Dragon. The black dragon is thirty feet long, with rough scales, piercing purple eyes, and a row of ridges on its back that are not deep but as sharp as razors. The tip of its tail is a thin arrowhead, and its wings are like bats. A Hesidian black dragon, in its wild state, would need a territory of one hundred square miles to support itself. Feeding primarily on deer, it has also been known to poach larger dogs and even cattle for food.
The MacFasty wizard family, which has lived in the Heshidry Islands for several centuries, has always had the tradition of managing this native fire dragon. However, recently this almost exclusive business has been snatched away by Harris, just like this time. The squid-shaped floating ships with dancing tentacles that rise or fall from time to time in various areas of the floating city explode in the sky and then disappear on the spot, like countless black fireworks coming in and out, representing the Hogwarts floating ship. A lot of business in the empty city.
"Their model is very convenient for transporting bulk cargo, and those tentacles can load and unload cargo by themselves." Percy introduced loudly, and a camera focused on him at close range, "These floating ships will fly to the Muggle world. We have already established transfer stations in the suburbs of large Muggle cities such as London, Birmingham, and Leeds."
"Director Weasley, as the Director of the Department of Magical Transport, when you formulate the rules for the use of these new magical vehicles, you will ensure that wizards are not seen by Muggles when using the vehicles, right?" Sitting aside Hibiscus's blue eyes blinked lightly, her long waterfall-like silver hair fell down her shoulders as she turned her head, and her "husky" throat was very attractive.
Because Fleur's bloodline seemed to have been strengthened after transforming into a magical Animagus, this made Percy's ears turn red. He quickly turned his eyes and pretended to look at the scenery outside, constantly reminding himself that he was taking a photo. In promotional videos, you must express yourself well.
After a while, Percy straightened his back more straightly, but his tone could not hide his excitement: "Of course, this is my responsibility. We are at the Muggle transit station and cannot use Muggle weapons because we need to contact Muggles. We were helped by our colleagues in the Department of Banishing Curses and the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. Their team, the Reversal of Incidental Magical Events, deployed large areas of confusion spells at regular intervals regardless of manpower. Muggles would only think that what was coming in and out was just some large trucks; but we When helping the Muggle government to transport to other Muggle countries that have no contact with us, the aerospace ship will first fall into the sea when approaching the other party's port, cast a spell on its own ship, and disguise itself as a Muggle transport ship. Once inside, professionals from the team that also reverses accidental magical events will go with the ship, allowing the other party's dock officials and entry and exit records to make them normal in the eyes of Muggles, allowing them to ignore the anomaly that a ship can carry so much cargo. ."
"As a member of the International Federation of Wizards, I have to praise your efforts in upholding the Statute of Secrecy, Director Weasley." Allen praised Percy sanctimoniously, which made the third member of the Weasley family The son next to him bowed back so repeatedly that the glasses on his face fell to the ground.
Under Fleur's gesture, the camera lens quickly moved from above them, where the situation became a little awkward, to below, focusing on the wizards on the street.
Some wizards on the ground wear costumes with strong regional customs of their original culture, which shows that they are also outsiders, but they are different from those who have just arrived in the Hogwarts floating city as captured in the previous shots. The immigrants have different mental states. They are full of vitality. It can be seen that their new life in Hogwarts is very fulfilling and promising.
The camera lens follows a group of immigrants into some collective housing apartment buildings similar to Sirius' ancestral home at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
"The apartment buildings developed under these umbrellas are low-rent housing prepared for immigrants who do not have sufficient funds. You can move in by paying a small amount of silver." Hermione, her tone was cheerful, and she sounded pleasant. People feel that they are very lucky and happy to live in these houses. "Of course, they are not too luxurious, and the decoration is relatively simple, but they are enough to meet the living needs of wizard families, and the surrounding supporting facilities are relatively complete."
At the entrance of the apartment, two wizards wearing umbrella employee uniforms and carrying blue backpacks with umbrella marks were particularly eye-catching.
Percy, who was a little annoyed because of his mistake just now, had just put his glasses back on. Seeing the camera pause on them, he immediately took the opportunity to introduce: "Wizard couriers wearing uniforms and carrying backpacks like this. It seems that they are Go back to your home in the wizarding world to eat and rest between jobs... They are a new job that emerged after our Department of Magical Transportation cooperated with the Muggle government. They use the traceless telescopic backpack and the Apparition to transport goods for the Muggles. , the more express delivery you deliver, the more money you make..."
Seeing that the camera had turned back to him, Percy added diligently: "These couriers have provided a lot of jobs for immigrants. There are not many qualified couriers at present, because unless they are Muggles themselves, they need to work in You have to get an O in the Muggle studies subject, or complete the pre-job training for delivering express delivery in the Muggle world and pass the assessment before you can be employed... Otherwise, guys who don't understand the Muggle world will cause trouble in the Muggle world..." Per Xi looked a little excited, "But I have to admit, I went to inspect the Muggle world for a while... I have to say that the Muggle population is really large, and they have a high demand for this, especially the Umbrella Company in the Muggle world. What is the branch doing...online sales? Is this your name?..."
"It's a pity that our native British wizards seem unwilling to serve Muggles...unlike those immigrants who are more open-minded. They would rather do some more traditional jobs and give up this easy money-making opportunity." Hermione said with some regret. "Being a courier is actually much easier and more liberating than working in Umbrella Potions to extract body fluids from slugs..."
Percy caught a glimpse of Hermione's expression and realized that he thought he had offended someone unconsciously.
"Miss Granger, I still didn't publicize it well enough. This is the responsibility of the Department of Magical Transport..." Percy affirmed in a nonchalant manner, then pointed to the ship and tried to change the subject: "By the way, there is the potion over there. Workshop and alchemy workshop, after which is our destination, the Magical Muggle Items Factory... Speaking of which, the rise of this factory is inseparable from the strong support of Miss Granger, my father Arthur..." Percy looked again The camera raised its head, "That is Arthur Weasley, the person in charge of this factory. He told me that Miss Hermione Granger's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, helped him a lot in this regard. They made He took a lot of detours and chose some very practical Muggle items for him, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, and these are very valuable to wizards after being converted into magic items... The official magic world is just not as good as the products of the Muggle world. , once these things are truly popularized, they will greatly improve the quality of life of our wizards, and also provide us with more jobs..."
Hermione heard the nervousness and complimentary intention in Percy's words. She first nodded habitually in response, and then recalled the relationship between herself and Percy when she first enrolled in the lower grade of Hogwarts. They get along well, both of them are top students, but unlike Allen, they prefer to follow the rules and don't know how to adapt, and they like to yell at people who break the rules. They are studyaholics in school and workaholics outside of school - but Unknowingly, the status of both parties has also changed. Now Percy always appears in a "bowing posture, which makes him look like a hunchback", and unknowingly, he is now used to others. This type of compliment can even be a bit of a condescending compliment.
"It's okay, Percy. As the exchanges with the Muggle government become more frequent, their forms will naturally change." Allen sensed Hermione's change in mood and hugged her, "Speaking of domestic children, Although most of the elves still refuse to accept wages and holidays, the wizards...at least the wizards at Hogwarts respect them more, don't they?"
