Chapter 19: The Supreme Arbitration Conference of the International Wizards (1)
After leaving Switzerland, they first headed south to Rome. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there is not much to see to be honest, and the reason why I went there was purely to play a "witch burning".
This pastime originated with the soothsayer Wendelin, who loved to be burned and had herself caught in a variety of disguises forty-seven times. Muggles occasionally caught a wizard or witch, but at such times, the incineration had little effect. Witches or witches cast a freezing spell when incinerated, enjoying the gentle tingling pleasure of the flames while feigning pain and screaming.
Modern burns are given more functions. They had a lot of pamphlets as they left, and Hermione had a point in it.
Burning at the stake forces the victim to laugh and not stop listening. Laughter can be beautiful - the first sentence at the beginning of the promotion. Phoenix thinks they're talking nonsense in order to solicit business.
Unfortunately, something happened during the trip, and they had to end the trip early.
Somehow, Yao advanced the meeting again. They split up in Constantinople, and Hermione returned to London to work. Phoenix and the family leaders hurriedly set off for Wanbang City.
Thousands of miles away, in the snow-capped mountains, people are constantly coming in and out. Occasionally, one or two people flew to the top of the mountain on a broomstick, talking to many people around them, all dressed in different clothes and even languages, but still talking and laughing.
A man in an Arabic robe laughed and patted the back of a man in a black robe with an embroidered coat on it: "Look, I think your father already agrees with you, right?" ”
"It's a good sign that my father allowed me to wear the five-chapter tiara, but my brothers - forget it, I just hope everything goes well. Muhammad. Yao Ren was not very happy, he knew that the Peverell of Europe had put an end to the internal chaos. Their current leader broke the situation surprisingly strongly, and his plan to invade Europe was aborted, and his father didn't care about his miscalculation, but it inevitably made him feel worried, the inheritance battle of the Asian wizard family was far more bloody than that of Europe.
Sometimes the internal strife is even more violent.
"I heard he killed Voldemort, really?"
"It's confirmed, and he's got the wand back—" Before Yao Ren could finish speaking, a man hurriedly walked up to him and muttered a few words in his ear.
"They're coming, let's go meet them. "It was like a signal, and everyone was quiet all at once. Yao Ren arrived with Muhammad and a large ceremonial procession, and there was a stone platform made of white marble outside.
Yao Ren looked up, and there was a light snow in the sky inexplicably—it was July now. A small black dot in the distance slowly approached, followed by several smaller dots. The others stood in their positions, and Muhammad stood behind him.
Gradually, the black dot grew larger and larger, and people could already see what it looked like. A huge carriage, led by twelve Thestrals in front of it, was flying towards the stone platform at an extremely fast speed.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the front wheels of the carriage crashed violently, making one wonder if the carriage would fall apart. The door has a coat of arms printed on it. On the purple silk door, the gold Peverell coat of arms is inlaid with a strange eye made of a triangle, a circle and a vertical line.
The carriage stopped not far from Yao Ren. A man in a dark brown robe jumped out of the carriage, bent over, groped for something on the floor of the carriage, and opened a golden staircase. He jumped back respectfully, Phoenix wearing a purple robe, a Peverell coat of arms on his chest, and a golden silk cloak behind him.
He got out of the carriage and walked towards Yao Ren, who was not far away.
"Welcome, Your Excellency has come to make the humble house shine, and please bear with me if you are not careful. Yao Ren performed a ritual in their region, and so did Muhammad in the back.
"He said, 'Welcome here.'" A man in a gray cloak translated in the back.
"Thank you. He bowed his head slightly and said in stiff Chinese.
"Please. Yao Ren made a gesture for Phoenix to walk ahead. He walked on Phoenix's left-hand side and half a body behind. Muhammad walked up to Watson and walked beside him. On either side of the red carpet stood young girls, still in a saluting posture.
It wasn't until they left the stone that the subsequent carriage landed.
Asian shamans place great importance on etiquette and tradition, and it is very clear how each person should be treated. Yao Ren is only the son of the patriarch of the Asian wizarding family, while Phoenix is the patriarch of the European family, even if he is more than a decade older than Phoenix, he has to salute first, and Phoenix just needs to accept it.
They walked down the red carpet through an imposing gatehouse, flanked by men instead of girls. They wore black garments and saluted them in obscurity. At least a few thousand people stood in this huge square.
"Ah, show us your might. Billo said sarcastically.
"Everyone involved in the meeting has their own reasons for being nervous. "This behavior is not strange. ”
The crowd followed and laughed, not paying attention to the people in the square at all. They are all representatives of various forces in Peverell, and naturally they do not care about this potential deterrent.
Phoenix looked at a new best-selling book, "My Thirty Years with Voldemort", which Selwyn wrote based on his own personal experience, and also to show everyone that he had always had a heart set on justice, and that joining the Death Eaters was just a curve to save the country.
Aside from the rest, this book is of high value.
The book explains in detail the deconstruction of the Death Eaters' organization, the change of political philosophy, and Voldemort's magical invention, flying. Adopt a documentary brushwork, which makes people feel the various acts within the Death Eater Order.
The reason for the big sale outside the UK is nothing more than the novel magic inside, and the young man who intends to step on Voldemort's corpse and continue to pursue a certain idea.
They walked through the square and entered a large hall.
"We took the elevator up. Your Excellency?" Yao Ren stepped forward to open the elevator door and motioned for them to invite first. After they entered, Mohammed replaced Yao Ren to prop up the door for Watson. The people in the back can only sit in the next elevator, which makes the elevator extremely empty.
Yao Ren pressed the button on the top floor, and the elevator flew up quickly, and in the blink of an eye they left the ground and entered the clouds. Seconds later, a crisp bell sounds, indicating that they have arrived.
They stepped out of the elevator in turn and came to an equally wide stone platform. But it was already the top of the mountain, and strange clouds drifted under their feet from time to time.
Hefenix strolled to the edge of the stone platform—he walked very slowly, because he was reading a book, and the others had to follow slowly.
Without hesitation, his feet stepped out and came to a solid halt in the air.
"It's just that the Transfiguration Charm was used on the steps, and it used to fool Muggles - but they still have it. Phoenix's voice came, with a slight sense of playfulness.
"I dare say it was a bluff back then. Little Watson adjusted his scarf, "Did you say there was really a king who walked this road?"
"I can't say exactly. ”
It's an amazing feeling. There is a feeling of being ethereal, and there is a stretch of the road that is completely covered in clouds.
Stepping out of the clouds, you can see a huge complex of buildings floating in the air in the distance, built in a trapezoidal shape, which looks unattainable.
