Chapter 253: Chatting with Friends (2)
The world may be destroyed, but it is definitely not today, not now. Writing, fun, and www.biquge.info so you can never go wrong with cherishing the present at any time.
The basilisk attacked, causing great damage to Hogsmeade. Houses collapsed, wizards were killed, and innocent people, including some children, were killed by the basilisk's powerful destructive power. If it weren't for the first time that the wizarding world had encountered such a huge terrorist attack, and there was no unified opinion within the Wizengamot for a while, I am afraid that Minister Fudge would not have had a chance to do so later, so he would have been used as a scapegoat and stepped down to calm the anger of the wizards.
Fortunately, both humans and wizards have a good ability to withstand grief, after that terrible disaster, Hogsmeade was quickly rebuilt, and at the same time, the Ministry of Magic paid much more attention to Hogsmeade than before, and now Hogsmeade is the wizarding village with the most Aurors outside of London, which is not comparable even to Godric's Valley.
The weekend was a difficult time with good weather, although outside, the strong rise of the wizarding army in Europe, the diplomatic position of wizarding Britain was in jeopardy, and internally, the mysterious organization 'Don' Raptors crossed the river, with ulterior motives, wanted to control the whole of Britain, but for the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, these things are a little far away, only the candy of the Duke of Bee and the latest series of light wheels in the broomstick store are their most real dreams.
Some of the houses on the street looked like they had been newly built and should have been destroyed in the last basilisk attack, some of them still had traces of spell explosions on them, and some of them had withered flowers in the corners, I don't know if they were hanged by the Death Eaters or the Aurors.
Luna leads the way in front, her pale blonde hair shining a little in the sun, and on the way she meets some classmates, Michael, who is Shayan's roommate, whistling strangely at Shay Ann and Luna.
"Why are they all looking at us like that, Andrew?" Luna asked Xie Ann in a strange whisper.
Xie An shrugged, "I don't know, where the restaurant you are talking about, I'm starving to death." I also didn't realize how conspicuous it was for the two to hold hands and walk intimately in the crowd.
"It's right ahead, you see, there!" Luna pointed to the corner of the street, where there was a new house. The architecture of the house is very similar to that of Chinatown, but the most knowledgeable Far Easterner can see the subtle difference between the architecture of the 11th arrondissement and the traditional carved beams.
"It doesn't look like a Chinese style, but it looks like a Fusang style. Xie An saw that there were a lot of carp streamers hanging in front of this building, and these colorful carp streamers waving in the wind were very beautiful, delicate and cute.
"It turns out that this is the style of Fuso, and I thought it was the culture of the Far East. Luna said.
"Actually, I don't understand it, but the text in front of this store seems to be the text of the 11th district of Fuso Country. "At the end of the day, the entire Far East has become a scorched earth, and it is meaningless to distinguish between countries, and there are only two kinds of human beings: those who love peace and yearn for happiness, and those who love pain and seek ultimate strength. On the scorched earth, the hatred of the old world was buried with the advent of the new day of destruction, and the Far East and Fuso kingdoms ceased to exist after the day of destruction. Compared with the entire land sinking of Fusang, the Far East Kingdom relied on a little luck and finally gathered a homeland again at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
However, outside the Kunlun homeland, the forgiveness and destroyer who are full of resentment towards the world and are always ready to die with the happy human race, always absorb the power of radiation energy and scorched earth, and launch an attack on the barrier of Kunlun day and night.
What is even more regrettable is that many human beings who yearn for freedom and peace were born in the northern region of the Far East, and after their birth, the day of destruction has come for many years, and the entire Asian continent has been basically occupied by the doomsday forces except for the Kunlun homeland. The people who did not have the opportunity to flee to their homeland in Kunlun formed the original rebellion group, which was the initial prototype of the inheritance that Xie An accepted.
Xie An's understanding of Fusang Country is only through some of the descendants of Fusang Country's comrades-in-arms, who sometimes miss the ancestral land that has sunk into the sea for hundreds of years, singing a song like a sea breeze, Xie An remembers that one of them is sung like this:
The tung blossoms, the wind and rain, the reciprocating sadness is like the waves across the island, walking into the forest to meet you, and tonight, separated from you... The thorn blossoms fall, the microwave is light, and the small happiness is like a fleeting wave..........
The two watched outside the door for a while, and a girl in a kimono greeted them: "Welcome to the Izu sushi restaurant, do you want to dine, please come in!"
The girl bowed slightly, Xie An and Luna hurriedly returned the salute, and the two entered the store with the kimono girl: in front of it was a screen, above which was Mt. Fuji and the sea, and there were whales in the sea from time to time, and every time the whale surfaced, it would spray water jets and turn into beautiful fountains. Once again, the power of magic is on full display.
Turning the screen, the light became a little darker, the atmosphere was quiet, the space was much larger than it seemed from the outside, it didn't seem to be much smaller than the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I don't know how much it cost to increase and shrink the space. The kimono girl led the two of them to a middle position, the attendance rate was not bad, and there were people sitting in the surrounding seats, most of them were Hogwarts students and parents of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"What do you want to eat?" asked the kimono girl politely.
"I don't know too much, can you introduce me if there is anything to recommend?" Xie An thought for a while and said. After his birth, he has been living in wizarding England, suffering from great hatred, living by cultivation every day, and before he was born, he has always been a doomsday warrior, and he has to fight for survival all the time, and he has never lived such a good life. Fortunately, he was born aristocratic, and there was nothing wrong with his temperament and politeness, and there was no embarrassment in his calm expression.
The girl smiled slightly, it seems that it is not the first time she has met such a guest today, and introduced it in fluent English: "The signature sushi of the past few days is the North Sea Octopus Sushi, which is selected from the eight-clawed octopus in the depths of the North Sea, which is very delicious, I recommend you can try it!"
Xie An nodded and said, "Sounds pretty good, so let's have some." The kimono girl didn't retreat, but looked at Luna, who thought for a while and said, "I heard that your fruit wine here is good, you can have two more bottles of fruit bar." ”
The kimono girl nodded, and then stepped back.
"The environment of this place is not bad, I can come with Autumn and Hermione next time. Xie An said.
"The price is also very good, for the average wizard, this is a relatively high-end consumption place, and a consumption may cost dozens of silver Xike. ”
"Then I didn't pay attention, you see, aren't there so many Hogwarts students? ”
"Haha, Andrew, you are really a young master, you don't know the life of ordinary people. Luna smiled, "If you look at the students around you, they are basically descendants of pure-blood families, and there are very few wizards from ordinary families. You must know that wizards don't have to make what wizards eat, compared to this kind of merchant who only cashiers and gold gallons, going to a Muggle restaurant with a good price and better taste is an affordable choice. ”
"You're saying that the chef of this restaurant is also a wizard, so don't you mean that he makes sushi using magic?"
"It's not him, it's her! I've been inquiring for a long time, the chef of this sushi restaurant is a very young witch, and I heard that her dream as a child was to become a great sushi chef and make the best sushi in the world, but because she is a girl, her dream of becoming a sushi chef has always been difficult. It wasn't until her magical talent was discovered by a legendary wizard that the trajectory of her life changed, and although her magical talent was excellent, she never forgot her dream of becoming a sushi chef, and I heard that she later studied with a famous sushi master for a while, and combined her own magic to create a unique magical sushi recipe!" After listening to Luna's explanation, Xie An felt not shocked, but curious, the growth of this female chef can be described as a good inspirational story, but how did Luna know? Xie An didn't think that Luna had her own special source of information.
"Where did you know all this?" Xie An couldn't help but ask.
"The Owl Post, when this sushi restaurant opened, the Owl Post did an interview, and it also published beautiful pictures of sushi!" Luna said, citing the natural source of information. Xie An was slightly stunned, I really didn't expect this.
The two were talking about the recent anecdotes, and several more customers came in from the sushi restaurant, and at the front was a young girl, extremely beautiful, with long silver hair like a waterfall, who looked around and said in a little English with a French accent: "Gabrielle, this place is nice, and it looks as authentic as we are at a sushi restaurant in Paris." ”
Holding her sister's hand, little Gabrielle was eight years younger than her sister, and she replied in French, "Okay, sister, I don't know what they think." ”
"I'll do it, Miss Fleur, you decide. Zhou Shang of the Suzaku School of Magic followed behind, and he said in English after hearing Gabrielle's muttering.
"Well, I'm a little hungry, and I don't know if I'll be able to eat enough in this place. Shaman Dokru muttered under his breath. Seeing that there were new guests, the kimono girl hurriedly led a few people in.
Coincidentally, behind Xie An's position, there was a large table of eight people, and five people, including the cold Durmstrang female warrior Mira, happened to sit opposite Xie An, behind Luna.
Some observant Hogwarts wizards, having spotted the four warriors, whispered, out of politeness, but did not look this way. Shayne has been busy with the Altar of Souls, even on the day the Goblet of Fire elected the Champions, he happened to be warned by Helena's ghost, and he knew very little about the twelve Warriors, except for Penelo Crivet, Shayan only knew Cedric Diggory.
Fortunately, Luna and Cho Chang sat at the forefront of Ravenclaw that day, and they had a general idea of what several warriors looked like, and when they saw Fleur, who was extremely good-looking, they easily recognized the four warriors.
"Miss Lovegood, I didn't expect to meet you here, do you remember me? I am a friend of Miss Penelo Crivat, a Zhou merchant of the Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unexpectedly, a warrior would suddenly greet her, Luna was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Of course, Shang Zhou, I remember you, it's a pleasure to see you, are you also here to eat?"
"Yes, the formula of the ancient potion that I have been thinking about for the past few days, I have no clue, and while everyone is resting today, a few of us also come out together to relax. What about you, we went to your clothing store today, the business is very good, I didn't expect you to be able to run such a big store at such a young age, it's really enviable!" Zhou Shang said frankly, with envy in his eyes.
"Zhou, that's not my credit alone, it's mainly due to..." Thinking of Andrew's usual low-key appearance, Luna paused and continued, "The help of friends, and the professor's publicity. If you like, feel free to come to the store and I can help you design a wizard's robe with the traditional style of the Far East, of course, I know a little about the culture of the Far East, so don't laugh at me when the time comes. ”
"No, no, of course not, if you are willing to design a wizard's robe for me, I can't ask for it, where will I laugh at you, then it is a word, and when I have time, I will go to you. Zhou Shang said excitedly.
"Well, it's a word. ”
The brief conversation between the two made the other three warriors look at this side curiously, and after Zhou Shang sat back, Fleur Delacour couldn't help but ask, "Zhou, who is that classmate, and you look familiar?"
"She's the designer of the clothing store we just visited, Luna Lovegood, a very talented wizard designer. ”
"It was her, I heard she used to be a little crazy, and I didn't expect her to be a great designer. ”
"You must have listened to what those girls said, Miss Lovegood is not crazy, but has innovative thinking, we Principal Lan often say that we are dead and lack creativity, compared to you foreign children, sometimes I really feel that my head is a little rigid. Zhou Shang smiled and said.
"Zhou, you are so modest, no wonder you people in the Far East like an old saying, called muffled to make a fortune, I see that your magic power must be no worse than any of the four of us, maybe you even hide your strength, do you say, Mira?" Fleur looked at the other female warrior among the four warriors, but saw that Mira was sitting with a tense face and looking elsewhere. Following her gaze, across from Luna, a dark-haired wizard was studying the menu with his head down, occasionally whispering a few words to Luna.
Seeing that Mira was in a daze, Gabrielle gently pushed her, "Sister Mira, what's wrong with you?"
Mira came back to her senses, seemed a little jealous, and a little cautious, shook her head, and said nothing.
