Chapter 164: Accompanying the Empress

Wizards are not the most special species, those ancient creatures that have existed since ancient times are more powerful than wizards, and closer to the essence of this world than wizards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Whether it's ancient werewolves or shamans, or vampires, as well as goblins, elves, wizards, among the many magical creatures, it's not the most special.

There is no doubt that wizards now rule this world and occupy the most comfortable environment in the world, and this domination is the embodiment of the hegemony of the wizarding world. But wizards never think, or most wizards never think, why wizards are the rulers of the whole world.

With the help of Queen Anne, Shay An signed a contract with Barty Jr., as long as Shay An could protect the gem of Barty Jr.'s mother's soul, then Barty Jr. agreed to follow Shay An. In the apocalyptic human race, this so-called chasing whom, without any credibility, betrayal between people is a common thing, everyone desperately wants to live, will not trust each other, and will not trust each other with important things. Giving your own body to someone else will only make the Doomsday Warrior die faster and die more miserably.

Xie An didn't have much experience with this kind of relationship, and compared to the spirit of contract in the classical world, Xie An, the so-called future warrior, was more like a barbarian species from the wilderness.

Barty Jr. couldn't wait to go to Azkaban and save his suffering mother. But Xie An was more cautious, he had an indescribable feeling about the Dementors. That magical dream not long ago, that magical place located in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, made Xie An extremely vigilant about the secrets of the Dementors. Although he has stripped off the shell of the Dementor's consciousness and learned the final secret of the Dementor, at this time, before he has figured out the ins and outs of all this, a meaningless attack will undoubtedly be very dangerous.

Xie An had no choice but to say, "Mr. Crouch, now is not the best time to attack Azkaban, we need to prepare." Although the Ministry of Magic has temporarily lost control of Azkaban, the periphery of Azkaban is still very dangerous. I think we can go to the Quidditch World Cup at that time, when the entire Ministry of Magic will be held back by the Quidditch World Cup, and we will have enough opportunities to go to Azkaban. ”

Barty Jr. thought about it and felt that what Andrew said did make sense, but the thought of his mother still suffering in a place like Azkaban made Barty Jr. couldn't help but feel heartache. Queen Anne saw Little Barty's painful expression and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Crouch, as far as I know, the soul gem is very magical, once the wizard's soul enters it, it is difficult for the outside to hurt the soul inside the soul gem, so don't worry, I don't think your mother will be in danger for a while." ”

Hearing the words of this incomparably mysterious witch, little Barty breathed a sigh of relief. The two agreed on a time again, preparing to go to Azkaban during the Quidditch World Cup Finals, and Barty Jr. said again: "Your Highness the Kirin Wizard, originally I thought that after you agreed, you could go, since you are now ready to go for a while, then I will trouble you to arrange a place for me to live first, I am still a fugitive, I secretly ran out of the house, now can you please help me arrange a place to hide temporarily?" Barty Jr. now has great confidence in Andrew, and he has regarded Andrew as his future boss, and there is nothing wrong with making a small request to the boss at this time.

Xie An thought for a while and said, "Mr. Crouch, you can live here first, this place is an industry under my name, and after strict magic protection settings, ordinary magic detection can't detect here." "Of course, for Queen Anne, it's like there's no defense.

Little Barty nodded and agreed to Andrew's arrangement, and Xie An helped Little Barty explain the use of a few magic arrays, as well as some warning measures in the Screaming Shack, and then left the Screaming Shack with Queen Anne. The parties agreed to contact each other through confidential channels at a later date.

After leaving the Screaming Shack, Shea and Queen Anne made a carriage for London, which of course was the work of Queen Anne, and the carriage traveled back and forth between Hogsmeade and London like a phantasmagion.

On the carriage, Xie An asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, why do you want to agree to Crouch's request, to be honest, I think this matter is very dangerous, unless you take action personally, I have seen Dementors, even if I use that terrible power, I can only kill some Dementors in a limited amount, but this power cannot be known by other wizards, once this secret is exposed, the entire wizarding world may fall into destruction." Xie Ann didn't really have much sympathy for Barty's request, although the mother did deserve sympathy. But from Xie An's point of view, he is now in a dangerous position, and if he is not careful, the whole world may be in danger.

Queen Anne replied, "Andrew, how long do you think this wizarding world can exist? Even in my time, wizards were already very dangerous. In addition to the conflict with Muggles, there were other demigod beings. You only see these Muggles now, have you ever wondered where those horrible vampires, dark creatures, yin corpses, or trolls you've seen, where they all came from, and why haven't they attacked wizards until now?"

Queen Anne's tone was completely different from the usual relaxed tone, and her solemn tone revealed a kind of worry, she continued: "The wizards themselves are not united, every wizard will think that what they insist on is right, but in fact, the world will not care who is right and who is wrong, the world will only care about who is strong, who can live longer, who can directly shuttle through time and space, and who has more resources. ”

"You must know that wizards can now spend all their time on what you think of as infighting, or political games, because there are no deadly predators, and if those dark creatures unite and attack this universe in the future, wizards simply don't have much power to contend with. ”

Xie An was confused by Queen Anne's words, he thought for a moment before saying, "Your Excellency, you seem to be saying that the wizarding world has actually been under great threat, but we don't know?"

Queen Anne looked at Xie An, who was surprised, nodded, and said, "The magic power that wizards constantly use is not innate, it is drawn from another dimension. As early as ancient times, when the whole world was not completely separated, the earliest wizards began to understand how to borrow the ownerless energy of other dimensions, and this ownerless energy was used in various forms, the most convenient of course is now that we see witchcraft, which is also called magic. Meditation through mantras and some specific gestures allows the magic to work as we wish. But you have to understand that since wizards can harness these magic through spells, there are other creatures that can be used. Those legendary demigods, they themselves can directly cross the barriers of space, walk directly between different spaces, and they have power that is not even imaginable by wizards. If you think that the wizarding world is actually at the peak of the whole world, then you are very wrong, at least among the demigods I know, there is no chance that any of them are pure-blooded wizards!"

Queen Anne's words made Xie An even more shocked, what Queen Anne meant was that above the wizards, there were more powerful demigod groups, and these demigod opportunity owners were unattainable by wizards.

"Is all this true, why have I never heard of it?" Xie An couldn't help asking.

"You're just a junior wizard now, a demigod, just like wizards are to Muggles, how many of the Muggles you think know that there really are wizards in this world? Queen Anne smiled.

"Could it be that the Empress is already a demigod?" Xie An hurriedly asked.

"Before I was banished, I could only look up to the existence of those legends all my life, and it was impossible to reach the realm of demigods, but hundreds of years of exile have given me a deeper understanding of the nature of magic, and after countless silent nights of meditation and contemplation, I can be sure that I have touched the edge of demigods. For you now, I have more power than you can imagine. It's like Muggles can't imagine wizarding specialities. Queen Anne said lightly.

"Then how many demigods are there in this world, does the Empress know?" Xie An asked again.

"Of course... I don't know. Demigods themselves are very mysterious, they don't like to be famous, and most of them live a reclusive life, trying to go further. Queen Anne said.

At this time, the carriage had already come out of the spatial passage that resembled the illusion of displacement, and suddenly appeared in the Li family's manor on the outskirts of London. This is the last time Xie An and Qiu came together, and in this place, Xie An met Talia, a horse trainer. Qiu and Xie An also broke out a relationship crisis here.

After the carriage appeared, the butler hurriedly came out of the castle, and saw that there was an extremely richly decorated carriage in the courtyard, and was a little surprised, and when he saw the little young master, Andrew Lee, get down from the carriage, the butler greeted him happily.

"Young master, how can I have time to come to the manor today, it's already noon, do you need to arrange lunch?" The housekeeper is still the old housekeeper last time, Xie An was not very impressed by this housekeeper, nodded to him, and waited for Queen Anne to also get out of the carriage, Xie An said: "Sister, let's eat here today, and then we will go to London to play after eating." Of course, she can't be Queen Anne to the outside world, Xie An can only call Sister Anne, and Queen Anne smiled at Xie An narrowly. Xie An did not introduce Queen Anne to anyone, including little Barty, not because of his selfishness, but in Xie An's opinion, characters like Queen Anne, who they want to know is their freedom, and Xie An does not want to affect Anne's judgment.

"This place looks pretty good, it's just a little small, what's there to eat here at noon, last time I heard you accidentally talk about some Chinese food, I want to try it early." Queen Anne said. In the time of Queen Anne, wizards, as one of the most powerful creatures, had already explored the entire world, or the earth, and from ancient sources and the records of the pioneers, wizards from the East and the West knew about each other's existence.

In the West, shamans and priests were called the two great forces of the Middle Ages, while in the Far East, Taoist priests and Zen priests were called the two great forces of justice. As Queen Anne said, the only thing that those strong people at that time cared about was how to go further. The primary beings wish they could evolve into demigods, and the immortal demigods, who have long since given up their so-called racial symbols, have traveled to every corner of the world, hoping to gain new revelations to go further.

When Queen Anne was a child, she also fantasized that she could wander the world as she pleases after becoming a demigod, but before she could fulfill her dream, she was banished. In the night (day) and night (day) night (day) night of that time gap, Queen Anne also dreamed of how she walked freely under the sky.

"Butler, is our chef here today?" Xie An asked. Some of the so-called harmful cooking methods have no effect on truly powerful wizards. They can eat any way they like, and Chinese food is undoubtedly the most delicious and delicious of any cooking style.

The butler nodded, and he saluted Queen Anne very politely. Xie An didn't know the hierarchy between the nobles, but Queen Anne had been specially educated in this area since she was a child, and she knew this very well. The old butler only had to look at the standard aristocratic atmosphere of the queen to know that Queen Anne was definitely a nobleman, even a princess.

Nowadays, there are still many princesses and princes in Europe, including the United Kingdom, because many European Muggle countries still retain royal families. The descendants of these royal families now live like ordinary people. And it is not surprising that the Lee family, as an old nobleman and one of the earls of Muggle England, can associate with these royal families. At this point, the current countess is a little strange.

Of course, the Countess, as a witch, is not a Muggle nobleman.

"Alright then, Andrew, let's have lunch here today, well, what did you say last time about the signature dishes of the Far East, let the chef get some. Empress Anne nodded and led the way to the Li family manor. looked at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper immediately understood what Xie An meant, hurriedly agreed, and went to make arrangements.

In less than half an hour, a delicious meal to the table has been made. The housekeeper reported the name of the dish in proficient Chinese over and over again, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, young master, today's time is too short, I can only do these first, if the time can be longer, I can make a dish." Now the chef has made a few of the most famous, Peking duck, mapo tofu, West Lake vinegar fish, Feilong soup, Dongpo meat, spicy chicken, Dong'anzi chicken, steamed Wuchang fish, do you think these eight dishes are okay?"

Listening to the black housekeeper report the names of dishes he didn't know in proficient Chinese, Xie An was a little stunned. Empress Anne didn't have much discomfort, and a nobleman like her, a butler who was proficient in several Chinese, saw more.

"Where did all these things come from, for example, this Wuchang fish, is it from the Far East, or is it made locally?" Xie An asked with some curiosity.

The housekeeper Li Wang, a black man, replied: "Young master, most of these things are airlifted from the Far East, the master and you both like to eat Chinese food, so the family has always been prepared, in order to ensure the freshness of these materials, we also asked engineers to specially design a fresh cold storage, these things taste almost the same as the local freshness." Of course, some of the materials are still not in order, if the young master or young lady needs anything, you can say some first, I will go and book now, and I can eat it tomorrow at the latest. ”

Xie An nodded, and Queen Anne said, "Don't waste it so much, these things already look very authentic, let me try them first." I heard that Chinese food pays attention to color and fragrance, and the color and fragrance are really good, but I don't know how it tastes. ”

"I'm afraid that the first time you eat Chinese food is not as good as you think, after all, the two places are too far apart, and it is still difficult for you to adapt to the taste of Chinese food for a while. Xie An couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water.

"Andrew, you underestimate me, I can tell from the scent that I like these things very much!" said Queen Anne.

Li Wang brought up the tableware, not knives and forks, but chopsticks, silver chopsticks.

Queen Anne nodded, indicating that she was very satisfied, and then said to Xie An: "Andrew, I don't know how to use Eastern chopsticks, can you teach me?"

Xie An looked at the sterling silver chopsticks that the housekeeper put in front of the two, and said helplessly: "Housekeeper, you still go and get two pairs of bamboo chopsticks, my sister won't care about these." "The butler thinks that the tableware of the nobles should be made of silver, so according to the understanding, he also arranged a pair of silver chopsticks for Queen Anne. This kind of chopsticks is too heavy. Xie An generally doesn't use it. However, the butler did not do anything excessively out of politeness and caution.

Master Li Wang, the black housekeeper, had long known the habits of the little master, so he stopped the young master's words and ordered him to change into bamboo chopsticks. This kind of bamboo chopsticks, to be honest, is similar to Xie An's magic wand, once Xie An used chopsticks when he was eating in the cafeteria, a fellow classmate asked Xie An in surprise why he used a magic wand to eat, Xie An was speechless for a long time.

Xie An and Queen Anne sat next to each other on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, Xie An picked up a piece of Wuchang fish with chopsticks, put it on Queen Anne's plate, and motioned to Queen Anne to try if she could use chopsticks to pick it up. Queen Anne has been watching Xie An's movements carefully, tried a few more times, and soon mastered the essentials, and ate with chopsticks in style.

Xie An took chopsticks and ate a little spicy chicken, and when he saw Queen Anne eating fast, he said, "Eat slowly, otherwise it will not be good for your health." ”

After Queen Anne ate a piece of roast duck, she glanced at Xie An strangely and said, "You see, even if you just want to become a free eater, a high-level life has a lot of advantages over a primary-level life." With your current ability, even if you pour these things directly into your mouth, there will be no problem, but you are still used to thinking according to the thinking of an ordinary wizard, thinking that those common senses are still binding on you. That's not going to work. ”

Xie An was stunned, it turned out that he was no longer an ordinary wizard.
