Chapter 146: On the eve of the World Cup

Early this morning, after eating breakfast delivered by the house elves, Augustus began to plan the operation of the tower in the clouds, in short, the tower in the clouds in the sky due to its streamlined shape, as well as a large number of wind elements, its operation mode is nothing more than with the help of the wind element, or through the function of the source of magic in the tower, with the jet friction method. Of the two flight modes, the latter is more energy-intensive but faster, while the former is the opposite. If you are traveling long distances, the former method is naturally more suitable, and if you are doing it as an attack or a coordinated attack, the latter is more flexible.

In fact, energy supply is a more nerve-wracking thing, there is no so-called magic core of Warcraft in this world, and can only rely on Augustus through the laboratory, refining the element core to supply energy, this is a more spiritual work, the elements are difficult to accumulate and refine, most of them are scattered and disorderly, if you want to refine it into a nucleus, in addition to relying on the role of strong spiritual power, you must also prevent the explosion caused by excessive condensation, all in all, this is not an easy task.

As the private ownership of Augustus, the Mage Tower's monitoring role is very powerful, through the eye of the tower in the clouds, with the manor as a radius, the area within thirty kilometers can be monitored, the principle is the reflection of the elements, in a manor, there is a tower in the clouds as protection, it is simply safe.

At lunchtime, Augustus received a letter from Hai Dongqing.

"Dear Mr. Augustus,

I don't know if you remember the Quidditch World Cup I mentioned to you on the train, this year's World Cup will be held next Monday night. Knowing that your parents are on a long trip, I'm afraid there are no officials from the Ministry of Magic who will send tickets to the Manor for the World Cup. Our family has been able to get tickets to many of the top boxes through Fudge's connections, and Loki Sol and Malfoy are expected to be there as well, if you're interested, to meet at the game.

You are faithful

Lilian Alexia"

Augustus was a little speechless, Lilian really had some big nerves, and the letter only said that they would get together at the ball game, but unfortunately he didn't know where the Dao World Cup was held, even if he knew it, since he didn't have a ticket, how to enter the arena was really unreliable.

Sitting on the front porch of the manor and pondering for a moment, the address of the World Continent Cup should be easier to ask, if you figure out the direction, you might as well just test fly the tower in the clouds as a trip, even if there is no ticket, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I don't bother to care about these trivial things, will I get to the arena because the ticket can't get in, for a mage, this is obviously impossible, not to mention maybe you can meet Lilian before entering, in this case, I will set off tomorrow, and I am a little tired of being at home for a month, just go out to breathe.

Early the next morning, walking into the mage tower behind the manor, a cold breeze blew through the grass, the tower in the clouds rose into the air, facing the rising sun and penetrating into the clouds, discerning the direction, Augustus activated the energy supply system, and moved at full speed towards the north.

The sky was not completely calm, with birds passing by from time to time, and many flying creatures showed a reasonable interest in the huge mage towers that passed by, but it was clear that there was little to match in speed when they were in full speed.

After checking the closer Portkey area, Augustus continued to let the Tower in the Clouds fly due north. It would still be too far to fly from the manor to the World Cup, so after knowing the most convenient way to travel to the destination, Augustus decided to fly to the portkey point first, and then go directly to the stadium through the portkey, which is faster.

The journey was relatively smooth, and in the early morning, before the sun showed its full view, Augustus's tower in the clouds flew above the portkey location, and through the eye of the tower in the clouds, Augustus found that two groups of people had arrived at the gathering place, and some of them still knew each other. After a slight hesitation, the Cloud Tower slowly descended from the sky.

"Harry, look what that is." With an exclamation, the red-haired boy gathered around everyone suddenly pointed to a black dot in the sky that was about to fall.

Everyone looked up, and under the night, a dark purple crystal tower descended out of thin air, and the outside of the conical tower exuded a faint light in the dark night sky, like a sharp sword falling from the sky, and the tower was firmly plunged into the grass, stirring up a cloud of dust. Under the blank gaze of everyone, Augustus walked out of the tower in black robes.

"Oh, Mr. Augustus? How about you," Harry's wide, green eyes were full of surprise. "What's the situation with this tower, did you move a tower here specifically in order to see the World Realm Cup?"

"It's just a means of transportation. Nothing special," Augustus waved his hand, and the dark purple crystal tower rose again, disappearing into the clouds in a few moments. "You're pretty early, and it looks like I should have been here sooner."

Arthur Weasley's expression on his face was still a little unnatural, his eyes chased the tower in the clouds that flew into the sky, and he didn't take it back for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he greeted Augustus with some embarrassment, "Long time no see, Mr. Augustus, why didn't your parents stay with you, by the way, did you come here from the previous tower?" Do you know that for flying items, in addition to the broomstick, it still needs to be registered in the Ministry of Magic, but that tower is obviously not just a flying prop, right? Does it have any other effects? ”

Augustus didn't know which question to answer, so he didn't say anything, and Arthur seemed to find himself a little presumptuous, so he touched his head in embarrassment.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Amos Diggory." Mr. Weasley went on to say to Augustus, "He works for the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control. His son Cedric, I think you all know each other, right? ”

Augustus nodded to Cedric, who smiled brightly and whispered to the middle-aged man next to him, "This is the Augustus I told you." ”

Amos walked up to Augustus with a gentle smile on his face and stretched out his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Augustus, my son often mentions you to me at home, you narrowly defeated Cedric in the dueling club the year before, and he keeps talking about you at home, hehe." ”

Augustus shook his hand and nodded with a smile.

Cedric touched his forehead helplessly, "What a narrow victory, I started to sell myself and boast again." ”
