Chapter 115: Castle in the Sky
Phoenix was still weak at night, he had never been in a magical Animagus state for so long. The sequelae of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info are so strong that lying in bed from time to time whirls around, and the whole body is uncomfortable to death.
Hermione suggested that they leave a little later, and they sat around Phoenix's bed and talked about the strange thing in the sky at the time.
"I don't have a clue, maybe the Battle of the Three Phoenixes has some special meaning. Phoenix leaned back on the mat, "Our rod cores are all phoenix tail feathers, I don't know Greif's rod core, probably too." Or maybe after Voldemort's possession—"
He couldn't make it up anymore, so he changed the subject.
"I don't want to talk about that, I have some ideas about what Voldemort will do next. ”
The two of them immediately cheered up and listened intently.
"They left—Voldemort, to be exact, all the way east. The Phoenix wand fluttered, and a less accurate map appeared in the air, "No turn, he's not a rookie." This kind of straight flight cannot just panic or go all out against us. He has a purpose, a goal. It was a place he was going to after he had taken full control of Greve's body. But our presence disrupted his plans and forced him to act in advance. ”
"For what purpose?" Hermione asked.
"We can only guess that maybe it was something that brought him back to his flesh. Unlike normal dark arts, might it make his body stronger—or more useful?" Phoenix smiled helplessly, "I don't know. In ancient times, much magic was passed down from family to family and would never be circulated in the market. After graduating from Hogwarts, he traveled the world and experienced many things. Perhaps he heard some rumors during his travels. ”
"Then he's going all the way east, China, Japan?" Harry looked at the map, and a red line crossed the entire United States, then became a dotted line that split into four different places.
"Australia, India?" Hermione added, "will there be anything he needs in these places?"
"Quite possibly, especially India and China. Phoenix frowned, "I hope I'm wrong, or it's troublesome." I wasn't supposed to be in those places, and if I needed to go, I could only go there in some non-magical way. Otherwise, it will be a big problem, but anyway I won't fly anymore, we can magical creatures, and tradition has the benefits of tradition. ”
"Are you in good shape?" Hermione said worriedly, holding Phoenix's trembling body, "We're not doing anything about what you're doing. ”
"You can rest first. Harry spoke to dissuade him.
"First go to the city of all nations, and rest there. ”
He's stubborn. Hermione and Harry packed their things, grabbed one of Phoenix's arms, and the apparition vanished into the beach.
Break free from the darkness and open your eyes. Standing in a huge domed building, they were all told by the bustling traffic in front of them that it was very busy. Broomsticks, carpets, and dragons whizz over their heads and land in the distance. There are people around me who are constantly shifting or manifesting, and the sound of popping is like a string of firecrackers that can never be put off.
It's not hard to explain the disgusting smell in the air. From time to time, a few magical creatures appear in the crowd, or what appears to be ordinary poultry, but is actually modified.
The International Secrecy Act, a sub-law of the Law on Prohibition of Feeding for Experimental Purposes, prohibits wizards from creating new creatures (including plants). It's legal here, so it's not surprising to see a fire-breathing hen running around in the city.
"The last time I was here was a long time ago, with my father. "Be careful, murder is a capital offense here, but robbery and stealing are not serious crimes." ”
They joined the crowd and walked outside, flanked by fireplaces, green flames reflecting the greenery of the whole person. At the top of each fireplace, the name of the place is inscribed to show where the fireplace leads - in general, you can use one of them. But if your destination is far away from Wanbang City, you may have to take more than ten minutes in the Floo network. It's not a comfortable trip, and these name-engraved fireplaces are specially designed to shorten travel time considerably.
A boy with a wooden stick on his father's neck sang an unknown song humming. The burly father followed him and quickened their pace.
"The city is in the sky. Harry looked up and saw the huge gilded lettering on the door: City in the Sky, City of Nations.
"I heard that it wasn't at first, but then some magic was invented and I moved here. Hermione immediately explained, "The history of the city of all nations began in 53 B.C., when a group of persecuted wizards from East Asia gathered to found the wrong city and later moved to heaven—"
"In the city in the sky at that time, there really wasn't much wizards could do. Phoenix interjected, "There are only a few families of magical creatures that can fly. There's no broom, the fire dragon can't be tamed, and the flying carpet is too slow to be a target. ”
"The city of Wanbang began to develop in the 5th century, when sorcerers from all over the world fled here. Wanbang refers to the fact that wizards from different city-states lived together at that time. Around the 16th century, it has developed into the world's busiest trading city, and is known as the world's most famous sky city for business, trade and tourism. At the end of the 17th century, the city councils refused to sign the International Wizard Secrecy Act, and later signed a special act on their own - beyond that, they had hardly signed any international law. ”
They saw a sudden opening up, and as far as the eye could see, the lights were bright. The city is a world of pleasure, indulgence and night-to-night singing. Even standing here, they could faintly hear laughter and music coming from afar. People use beautiful melodies to send away the nights and usher in the rising sun, which is the sun in heaven.
Busy traffic in the air often drags huge boxes, generally cargo. Individual flying carpets fly slowly and leisurely, and the people on them either take a commemorative group photo or enjoy the scenery with a drink.
The most peculiar thing is that the sky above the city is not, the expected sky full of stars. It's a small town that turns upside down - it's not large, like a parasol covering the central area of Wanbang City. It is also brightly lit, and if you don't pay attention, you will think that it is a candle flame floating in the sky.
"The land was so expensive that the International Federation of Wizards had to move to it. Phoenix tilted his head, "It's beautiful at night, it's over during the day." ”
They looked up, and through the window, they could even see a faint figure. It must have been some kind of gravity magic that made those people's feet stick to the floor, but it was so exciting to work that I wondered if anyone would fall off.
Harry was thinking to himself when Phoenix said again.
"Sometimes the gravity spell doesn't work, and a few unlucky eggs will fall. Phoenix seemed to be in a good mood, "the sight -- I heard, in the 18th century, another massive failure. It's like rain—"
He smiled and said to them, he didn't think it was scary to fall from above.
"It takes courage to work there. Hermione said with interest.
The steps in front of them were so steep and scary that the boy in front of them cried 'wow' and made his father scramble. The faint-hearted may lose half their life after walking the steps.
