Huo Fa, who was still full of expectations, couldn't help but cover his face.

The knowledge of a madman, after getting it, it is bound to deviate from your expectations.

This sentence is really true.

Before he could be depressed for a moment, a high-pitched whistle whistled Hoffa back to his senses. He stood high on the headland and saw a large old oil tanker approaching in the distance.

There was a row of towering red chimneys on the tanker, which gave Hoffa a sense of immediacy when he saw the Titanic.

Looking at my watch again, I have been unknowingly walking around the double-horned headland for two hours. I don't know if Senior Sister Osivia has been waiting for a long time, so he hurriedly walked to the pier under the headland.

As soon as he reached the docks, he saw the young green-robed witch standing there with her arms crossed, looking at him with great annoyance.

"Where have you gone, I've been looking for you for a long time. ”

"Casual shopping. ”

"By my side, don't run too far, Principal Dippet asked me to take care of you. She said in a non-deniable tone. "Also, it's about to be boarded, can you take off your sunglasses?"

Ossivia may have been looking for a long time but didn't find Hoffa, and held back a little fire.

Hoffa didn't want to touch the old witch's head, so he took off his sunglasses, which slowly turned into a wand in Hoffa's hand.

It's Transfiguration.

This surprised Osvia, who glanced at Hoffa more.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Nothing. Hoffa said calmly.

Ossivia didn't dwell too much on the issue of Hoffa's eyes, they were going to board.

The incoming cruise ship was bigger than what Hoffa had seen on the headland. The hull of the ship is about 100 meters long, and the hull is painted with several large, but completely indecipherable letters.

Le Papillon

"What kind of ship is this? Why don't you stop at Muggle Docks? Hoffa asked Ossivia after a group of wizards.

The Papillon, or you can call it the Butterfly, is one of the largest wizarding cruise ships in Europe, mainly running routes between Europe and North Africa. The entire ship was inflicted with a blurring illusion charm, and Muggles could not see, and even if they did, they would mistake it for a ghost ship. ”

It was only when Hoffa asked such a professional question that Ossivia spoke a little more.

Wait until the big ship comes to a stop. Two rows of metal ladders were erected.

Many wizards in the square stood up, and they walked down the red carpet stairs to the huge "Papillon" cruise ship one after another.

Ossivia took two tickets out of his pocket. They pass by a goblin with glasses and a tuxedo for a ticket. Walk aboard the cruise.

On the ship, Hoffa saw not only wizards, but also some goblins, and even a few babies. What's even more peculiar is that he not only saw female babies, he even saw men. The kind of silver-haired creature that looks feminine, but is distinctly male. They walked around the ship in a language that Hoffa didn't understand.

Hoffa couldn't help but ask the women around him, "Meiwa also has men?"

Osivia's green eyes lingered on several silver-haired men for a moment, and said lightly: "Of course, they are one race, naturally there are two genders, however, for those males, I advise you not to call them Meiwa, otherwise they will be very angry, they have other names." ”

"What to call. Hoffa asked.

"Elves. ”

Elf Hofa was stunned.

He wanted to ask something, but Ossivia had already walked down the spiral staircase. Passing through the bustling crowds, they entered white-painted corridors with bright lights and beige carpets.

As she walked, she held the ticket to the room number.

Finally, she stopped and handed the ticket to Hoffa: "Take it, don't lose it." ”

With that, she pushed the door open and entered her room.

Hoffa's room was next to the senior sister of the Snake Academy, and after entering, the room was full of white, a bed and a desk, and two cabinets, all white.

Hoffa was very happy with his cabin, although it was only economy class, it was very clean, much cleaner than where he lived in London's red light district. The oval window also offers a view of the turquoise Atlantic Ocean.

Hoffa put down his bag, and he looked out the window with some excitement as he took the boat for the first time, will there be an affair? Will there be an iceberg? Will there be a .......

Knock knock!

A cold and reminder knock sounded at the door.

Turning his head, he saw that the green-robed senior sister was standing at the door.

"Let's eat, it's time. She said.

The look of the forest girl always calms Hoffa, she is like a clock. Hoffa always felt that if he opened this senior sister's head, he would probably see layers of circuits inside, and then find out that she was actually a robot.......

Their room was at the back of the ship, directly opposite the dining room on the middle level.

This is a cruise ship, and the food on board is naturally indispensable to seafood. Much like a cafeteria, some house-elves with kitchen hats put all sorts of seafood on the shelves.

Scallops in ice cubes.

Lobster garnished with cherries.

A crab the size of a head.

There are even some bright red unknown raw fish meat.

A lot of food is something that Hogwarts hasn't seen before.

Hoffa took a lot of crabs with great interest, as well as clams.

Osivia, on the other hand, calmly took a little fruit and bread, and did not feel the excitement of the first boat ride at all. Perhaps for people in these European countries, taking a boat is nothing more than a commonplace.

She took a small bite of fruit while looking sideways at her daily Prophet newspaper, similar to the people of later generations looking at their phones while eating.

Hoffa didn't bother himself with any fun, he focused on the food, he opened the crab's shell, drizzled the condiments into it, and wanted to take a beautiful bite of the crab roe. ”

And at this moment, the voices of several male wizards next door reached Hoffa's ears.

.......

"Did you read today's news?"

"No, what?"

"Konstantin was found. ”

"Which Konstantin?"

"Which Konstantin do you say! Konstantin Ilyich Romanov. ”

"That former Minister of Magic of the Soviet Union!?"

.......

Hoffa, who opened his mouth and was about to suck the soup, was drawn to the conversation at the table.

"Where do you guess his body was found?"

"What?corpse!!" someone lowered his voice in shock.

"That's right, Siberia, after more than three months of searching, finally found in the Siberian ice field. When he was found, he had been frozen into a popsicle and couldn't tear it off if he was close to the ground. ”

A few wizards on the table next to him gasped.

The man lowered his voice, "You know, what's the weirdest thing?"

"What?"

"Say it quickly. ”

"Konstantin, he was shot. ”

"What is a gun? ”

"A Muggle weapon"

"You're kidding me.....!!"

......

"Hey. ”

"Hey!"

The displeased female voice gradually became clear as if it came from outside the sky.

Hmm, Hoffa came to his senses and looked across the table.

Ossivia frowned at Hoffa, pointing to Hoffa's chest. Hoffa looked down, and it turned out that he was fascinated by what he heard, and the crab roe in the crab shell flowed out and fell on the napkin.

He quickly wiped it, eating absent-mindedly, and most of his attention was on the content of the conversation between the people next to him.

However, these things were only heard by Hoffa as anecdotes, and he didn't really take them to heart.

His goal is to get his magic watch repaired as soon as possible, then return to London to get a job and earn money to buy books and robes next year.

For Hoffa now, making money is the top priority.

......

......

Hoffa's life on board was not bad, and the chief of affairs of the Papillon was a man of life, and he took care of everything very carefully, whether it was breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper at 8 o'clock in the evening, the table was full of plates of freshly cooked meats and other side dishes.

As a luxury wizard cruise ship, the Papillon has a rich nightlife, with not only roulette casinos run by goblins, but also custom bars run by elves.

However, he can't get into these gold caves, he has no money, and he is too young.

In fact, even if he has money, Hoffa is not very interested in these projects.

For some reason, it was hard for him to understand why Ron and Harry would have a spring when they saw Meiwa in the original books.

Just like when those wizards sent a lot of gold galleons to Mei Wa, all he had was puzzlement.

Whenever the sea is calm, there is music on board, piano, accordion and the like. Hoffa often sat back in his chair after eating, holding his cheek on his cheek and watching the group of maritime artists perform.

But watching dancing and listening to songs is all Hoffa's entertainment.

After the initial novelty wears off, all that's left is to sail day after day, and the sea that is always endless.

As for the fellow Sister Osivia.

She is a person who has no sense of humor, and the most she does every day is to read the newspaper, read the newspaper, read the newspaper.

Three days later, Hoffa couldn't help it, he was really curious if the newspaper was really that good.

So he took advantage of the fact that the senior sister went to the toilet and flipped through the newspaper she spread out on the table.

But Hoffa found out that the newspaper she was reading was the Daily Prophet three months earlier.

The report detailed the disappearance of the Soviet Minister of Magic.

This matter is also one of the things that people around me have talked about the most recently.

Not to mention the passengers, Hoffa is also quite incomprehensible.

Minister of Magic, shot?

It's ridiculous to think about, didn't the USSR have an Auror?

Doesn't the Minister of Magic know the Iron Armor Charm?

But before Hoffa could take a look at the report, the senior sister of the Snake Academy came back from outside.

Ossivia saw Hoffa in the room and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Hoffa put down the newspaper.

"Don't touch my stuff. The Snake Courtyard Witch said.

Hoffa frowned and did not answer. It doesn't feel very good with Slytherin, it's a bit bad to say.

The other person is not a good talker.

.....

.....

That night, the sky was cloudy, and Hoffa did not see any more performances by artists from the sea. All he could see was the captain, cloaked as tall as a wine barrel, walking around the hall, his wand in his hand.

Because of the impending rainstorm, an announcement sounded on the ship, and no one was allowed to go out to the deck.

At first, Hoffa was unimpressed, he had never experienced a torrential rain at sea, and the ship looked sturdy.

But soon, he realized his mistakes and ignorance.

The breeze turned into a gale and blew from the southeast. and gradually transformed into strong winds with a speed of fourteen meters per second. Heavy rain followed. The large raindrops turned into electrified feathers.

By 9 o'clock in the evening, the wind reached 25 meters. This is already the wind speed of the storm, and the rainstorm that falls down is directly slanted. It became sideways.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the huge waves that had been blown apart turned into droplets. Patches of water splash on the glass.

At twelve o'clock at night, Hoffa could see the fluorescent anemometer in the room showing that the wind was fifty-one meters per second, and the magic dial showed a look of horror.

The wind was strong enough to tear over the house and break the iron fence.

On the sea, the Papillon sometimes enters the abyss, sometimes reaches the peak.

Hoffa sat in the single cabin with a pale face, his body swaying, up and down.

He watched through the glass at the torrential rain that hit the sea, but it was so heavy that he couldn't see anything.

All items in the room have been charmed with anti-shake and anti-fall charms, and they cannot be dropped. But they were all shaking in place.

Hoffa's ears listened to the clatter of ships crashing against the waves, and his eyes watched the lamps hanging from the stern of the ship dance wildly in the wind, and the lamp was a glimmer of tormented light in the twilight rain.

In the midst of the huge storm, the waves outside are like rolling mountains, and the water peaks that are more than 20 meters high are like terrifying giants, wantonly playing with this more than 100-meter-long butterfly cruise ship.

Terrible bumps.

Half an hour later.

The stern lights finally became overwhelmed and went out in the waves with a click. Out of Hofa's line of sight, it became pitch black.

After Hoffa can transform into a Thunderbird, his mental force field will have some bonuses in the rainstorm environment. But in this environment, no amount of bonus is insignificant.

The waves of the sea are blown by strong winds, and the mountains are roaring like smoke. Sitting on the bed and looking out the glass window at the huge peaks, Hoffa's heart trembled.

Is this the magic of nature?

It's terrifying!

Another flash of lightning flashed.

The sky instantly turned red. There was another terrible jolt, and the steel bow of the Papillon rose upright, the horn of the attack like a lightning rod, and strings of sparks burst from it.

And at that moment, Hoffa sensed something in the sea. On top of the black pressure and foggy waters.

He couldn't help frowning and leaning on the blurred window, perceiving it carefully.

That's right, there are dark shadows swimming in the peak-like waters.

It made him wonder what would come near the surface of the sea in such a torrential rain.

Soon, he saw it.

In the midst of the lightning, he saw a ten-meter-long turquoise object leap high from the waves, hovering and falling on the deck.

Hoffa's eyes widened.

Snake?
