"It took six days for God to create the world, and on the seventh day, he created Rio de Janeiro."

In the middle of all the international fireplaces of the Brazilian Ministry of Magic, a statue of Jesus was erected in a grand manner, and at the height of the statue's chest, a circle of large golden letters slowly rotating around the statue stated this passage openly.

"Welcome to Brazil, where you are now in Paraty, in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro." "This was originally the place where the Guiana Indians lived, and in the 17th century it became an important port for the Portuguese to transport gold home, but since the railway was built to Rio de Janeiro, it has become a place for wizards, and it is also one of the last treasures left by the Atlantic Ocean in BOCAINA, Paraty is a diving destination in Brazil, and the 'mud carnival' here is also world-famous." ”

"It's just that you're not here at the right time," said the wizard in charge of receiving the foreign visitors, "Brazil is located in the southern hemisphere, and it's winter time, but the 'Amazon Carnival' in Palintins is about to start today, are you going to participate?" ”

"We're going to Palintins, how do we get there?" Standing in the middle of three British tourists, the red-haired girl with a ponytail was the first to react.

"There are two ways to get to Palintins: if you're in a hurry, you can go directly from here with a fireplace; If you're not in a hurry, head to Rio de Janeiro for a flying carpet, which is the pearl of South America, a famous carnival destination, and a wizard's paradise, and a rainforest ride along the way. The Brazilian wizard warmly recommended.

"How long does it take to ride the flying carpet?" The girl asked after glancing at the black-haired boy standing to her left, still in a state of confusion.

"It's almost 1,800 miles from Rio de Janeiro to Palintins, which is usually three and a half hours, and the express is three hours."

"It's been too long, is there a public fireplace in Rio de Janeiro?"

"Of course!" The Ministry of Magic clerk smiled and said, "Since you're going to Rio, I'd like to proudly recommend to the three of you the 'Guided Car for Going Up and Down to the Sea', which will take you wherever you want to go for only one Galleon per hour. He took out a delicate card and handed it to the girl, "Just light this card, and within 3 minutes, the guide car will appear in front of you." ”

"Thank you very much!" The red-haired girl took the card and took the lead towards the exit of the Brazilian Ministry of Magic, and the black-haired man standing to her right like a vampire immediately followed, and the black-haired boy with the schoolbag was stunned for a moment, before running a few steps and following closely on the other side of the girl.

Paraty is a very Portuguese and Indian town, and since it is not a tourist destination, the town is very quiet and attractive to foreign visitors.

But for those who are well-informed and light on the outside world, it's not particularly outstanding, and only those who don't go out often will look around with curiosity.

Originally, Brazil was not on Catherine's summer vacation itinerary, but as soon as she resumed her contact with the Muggle world, she received a text message from her sister asking for help, and it happened that Ron happened to call Harry that day, and his loud voice made Penny find out the storage of the phone, and Catherine had to go over to explain it herself.

Having promised Harry early on a trip to take him on a trip, Catherine discussed it with Dursley by the way, and naturally got a full agreement from the other party; As Snape's guardian of the red-haired girl, the two underage wizards traveled, so he naturally had to follow, which is why the three of them came to Brazil together.

"Rio de Janeiro is worth seeing with its beaches, samba dance, Jesus statues and forests." Catherine took out a copy of the Brazilian Travel Handbook from her pocket and flipped through it quickly, concluding, "What do you want to see?" ”

"Forest!" Snape's concise and cold tone directly startled Harry's newly rising excitement away.

"If the professor wants to go and collect medicine, I'm afraid you will be disappointed there." Catherine flipped to the page of the manual on the forest, and read carefully, "'Dijugaard' was originally a large rainforest, but during the colonial period, Muggles cut down most of it and planted it with cash crops such as coffee and sugar cane, and it was not until 1861 that it was reforested, so it was okay to go there to see the scenery and collect medicine." ”

Snape frowned and didn't say anything more, and Catherine didn't pay any more attention to him, but turned to ask the young man next to him, "Harry, what is your opinion?" ”

"What's wrong with the others?" Harry immediately leaned over to Catherine's side and peered over to the pamphlet in her hand.

"Jesus is like a landmark in Rio, but I don't know if the Holy See has any hands and feet, and I don't know if it will be affected if we go, or just look at it from a distance, anyway, its image is very 'grand'." Catherine muttered as she flipped through the pages of the introduction, "Samba is the most classic ...... at the Carnival."

"How about 'Notting Carnival'?" Harry couldn't help but interject.

"London's 'Notting Carnival' is the biggest in Europe, but the biggest, hottest and most passionate carnival in the world is in Rio, where the samba school prepares for this event all year round."

"That's an exaggeration!" Harry exclaimed, his glasses almost falling off.

"It's a pity that Rio's Carnival is before Easter, but Palintins' Carnival is the most Amazonian carnival, and we didn't make it worth it." Catherine ignored Harry's surprise and jumped straight to the last item, "The beach is another big feature of Rio, I've heard the saying that a man's paradise is not Thailand, not Vietnam, but Latin America, and the first choice is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ”

"Why?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"You'll know when you get there." Catherine glanced at the scale of the map, estimated the distance between Paraty and Rio, and after about 75 miles, closed the guidebook, took out the card, and lit it with a "swipe".

A cloud of blue and purple flames quickly enveloped and devoured the card, and then spit out a small flame that connected to the clouds in the sky.

"Toot!" A loud horn sounded from the sky, and then rushed down a yellow and green car, with a ninety-degree tail, and stopped steadily in front of the three of them.

"Where do you want to go?" A young black man asked, leaning down.

“Rio！” Snapra sat in the front of the car, and Catherine and Harry naturally had to sit in the back.

"Three of you, please fasten your seatbelts, you can be there in half an hour." The driver turned a green knob, the sign on the roof of the car jumped a few times, and stopped on top of "Rio".

"The speed is good, doesn't the aviation authority intervene?" 75 miles and a half an hour, at least 150 miles per hour, driving on the ground, every minute and every second will be approached by the police, Catherine did not believe that Brazil's aviation authority would not be unresponsive, confusion charm can not hide the heat induction.

"Rest assured, we are applying for a route." As soon as the driver finished speaking, the sign engraved with "Rio" lit up in green, and then several rows of Portuguese characters lit up on the glass in front of the driver.

"Huh?" Catherine couldn't help but lean out and take a closer look, "I didn't expect the Brazilian Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government to have such a good relationship. ”

"There's nothing strange about that!" The driver adjusted the button next to the steering wheel and said, "Although the first people to come here were basically papal personnel, the native wizards in Latin America are very prosperous, especially with the help of the rainforest and the Amazon River, Muggles can only occupy the coastal areas, and when European friends lend a hand, they will naturally start to counterattack and regain lost territory, especially Rio, which has now become a city where even werewolves dare to travel on moonlit nights." ”

"Yay? Isn't there a statue of Jesus there? Harry asked, shocked.

"The Brazilian Holy See really wants to use this to suppress heresy and spread the 'gospel', but it's a pity that the Pope can't even save the miracles of the Vatican, and what about the believers across the Atlantic!" The driver pulled the steering wheel, and the guide car began to rise slowly, "Although that sculpture is not an empty shell, it does not have much effect, otherwise Rio's slum cellar would not be that big." ”

"Pauper—" Harry had just said as he felt a strong recoil weigh on his chest, making him unable to speak.

"There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Brazil, as long as you have money, you can enjoy super luxury services by the sea; But if you don't have money, you can only be neighbors in the mountains and in the urban jungle. Catherine leaned against the window and explained to Harry with a complacent expression, "When you get to Rio, you'll see the mountains of slums' cellars. ”

"My little sister is very energetic!" The driver looked at the red-haired girl in the rearview mirror in surprise, 150 miles per hour is not a joke, ordinary people who have not tried it are absolutely very difficult to adapt to this speed for a while, like the other two passengers were pressed into the chair and couldn't move, and he drove for so many years, he couldn't be as chic as her, "Where do you want to go to Rio?" The driver's tone couldn't help but become respectful.

"Beach!" Catherine turned her head to look out the window, admiring the scenery of the Atlantic coast, "You can show us around before you get there." ”

"Let's go to Dijujia National Park first!" The driver adjusted his direction slightly, "Although in the eyes of wizards, the place is really destroyed enough, but it is still quite interesting to look at the trees and feed the birds, after all, there are many birds there." ”

"Is there a soundbird?" Snape snapped into words.

"That's possible!" The driver shook his head, "Silence birds are hard to see even in the depths of the rainforest, how can this small park have such a rare animal." ”

Snape frowned slightly and looked out the window, as the car passed by the green Isle of Grande, which made him feel good again. If it weren't for the lure of those rare magical creatures in the primeval forest, he wouldn't have bothered to accompany the two imps here, even though the long-distance transportation in the wizarding world was very convenient.

"Professor, don't worry about the ruined natural environment along the coast, Muggles have won their wealth by the sea, but one day they will attract Wendini's revenge." Catherine's eyesight was so remarkable that even at an altitude of 300 feet, she could clearly see the trash and oil floating on the surface of the sea near the shore.
