Chapter 25: Excuse me, do you want to be a nude model?
Diagon Alley in London, hidden away in Paris, Shadowless Street in Vienna...... They are all famous wizard shopping streets in Europe.
It is also a place where foreign wizards come to the city and must go.
What is a shadowless ...... It is because it is sandwiched within the ancient walls of Vienna without a trace.
The site of the Ring Road, the old city wall, has an area where wizards have lived for hundreds of years.
In order to prevent being demolished by Muggles, the Austrian Ministry of Magic carried out a large-scale project.
It involves 523 oblivion spells, the largest hidden spell ever seen in Austria.
As a result, in the process of Muggle demolition, a certain section of the city wall was preserved.
Over time, the wizarding colony slowly became what it is now Shadowless Street.
And the wand shop that William and Hermione were looking for was located here.
The Ring Road winds through lush wooded greenery, lined with hedges and deciduous trees, with wide S-shaped curves.
William rode his motorcycle skillfully through the arched corners of the street, greeted by the clean, cedar-scented air of the southern part of the street.
They passed a chapel where the bell tower struck exactly nine o'clock in the evening.
As he reached his destination, William slammed the brakes, the tires screeched, and Hermione leaned forward halfway and hit him on the back.
The motorcycle slid for a while and came to a stop in the middle of the road.
Once Hermione sat down again, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" “
William pointed to the entrance to Shadowless Street, a few hundred meters away.
Diagon Alley sits behind the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Shadowless Street, on the other hand, requires access through a Roman gate.
The Roman gate was a 50-foot-high rampart, masonry, and the main passage still had a large latched wooden door, but it was open and unblocked.
But at this time, there were more than a dozen Aurors standing at the door, and wizards who wanted to enter needed to stop and line up in a long line to be checked.
Here, no traffic!
Even if you use the Illusion Charm, you will be discovered.
Since it is impassable, you can only find other ways to enter.
Apparition requires an impression of a place. In other words, you have to be there at least once before you can apparition there.
William and Hermione had never been to Shadowless Street, and they couldn't apparition into it.
Secretly using the fireplace of a wizard's house is not a good idea. Floo.com is also estimated to be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, so it's not safe at all.
The two of them need to find another way to blend in.
William looked around, hoping to find another entrance, but all he could see was the towering wall on the left.
- Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
Shadowless Street is located right next to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Hermione looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled, "William, we can fly in." ”
The wizard doesn't have the magic to fly, but the two can fly through it with the help of other things.
Like Hagrid's motorcycle, or Nicol's ...... Flying cape.
At this time, a group of students from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts passed by, holding drawing boards, chatting loudly and joking with each other.
Judging from the content of the chat, I just came back from the nightclub "material", and now I am going back to school.
William put away the conspicuous motorcycle, and led Hermione to follow the group of students, and also walked towards the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
The Vienna Academy of Fine Arts is also famous.
It is best known for the fact that there was a young man who applied for the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts twice.
But they were all rejected on the grounds that they were "not suitable for painting". I had to wander the streets to beg and sell paintings for a living.
Later, young people went to Germany to join the army, and then ...... Became the Führer.
Of course, before Wilhelm's crossing, the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts published the admission letter to the Führer from the School of Art and Architecture of the school in 1907.
But for some reason, the young man did not receive it back then!
Gee...... Is this a constraint of the timeline?
Someone changed history, but there was a wizard who used a time turner to forcibly make the Führer unable to receive an admission letter, turning history back on the right path?
Or, perhaps, at that time, the Führer understood a truth:
Studying art can't save the Germans!
Entering the campus, William and Hermione were about to find a corner where no one was around and implement the plan to fly over Shadowless Street, when shouts came from behind them.
Just now, the group of students walked over.
"Excuse me!" One of the curly-haired girls spoke, "Excuse me! You're not a student at school, are you? ”
William and Hermione were too immature, and they really didn't look like students.
Wilhelm said in German: "We are here for a trip to Vienna, so we will take a look at the campus. ”
"We are from the Academy of Fine Arts, and we want to sketch in the dormitory, but we lack a male body model, I think your appearance and body are very suitable......" a girl invited.
As for Hermione next to William, she ignored it directly.
The girls all looked at William and laughed at each other, as if they really wanted to invite him to be a nude model.
Hermione tugged at William's sleeve and said with a wary look in her eyes, "What did they say?" ”
Although she couldn't understand German, a woman's intuition ...... Very accurate.
William was quick to explain.
Hermione gritted her teeth in anger, almost wanting to pull out her wand and teach the schoolgirls a lesson.
Of course, she knew that wherever William went, he would meet a pick-up, but she never expected that even the mannequins came!
Hermione blocked William behind her and said loudly:
"My boyfriend and I are visiting Vienna, the hotel is far away, I don't have time to model for you!"
A young man with a tattoo glanced at the girls in the crowd and found that the female companions were instantly attracted away.
Made, it's hard to make an appointment, and you're about to cut off your beard?
He doesn't like anyone who looks more handsome than him!
He pretended to be cool and spat out a cigarette, glared at William angrily and said, "It's not our school, let's leave quickly." ”
A girl stands up and berates her tattooed friend.
But William had already been dragged away by Hermione.
William was also helpless, it was really unreasonable.
But the mannequin ...... Just think about rowing!
William put on his flying cloak, and he hugged Hermione, and flew over the fence towards Shadowless Street.
The two of them were around a corner.
It's past nine o'clock, but there are still quite a few wizards on the street.
William pulled a wizard and asked where the best wand shop was, then walked towards a shop.
"Welcome."
A middle-aged wizard emerged from a pile of wands, and as if he was ready to leave, he said:
"Guest, we're closing, if you want to buy a wand, you can come back tomorrow."
"Sir, I have something to ask you." William walked over to the counter and said succinctly:
"Is there an old man who came here to buy a wand?"
"Old man? No. ”
William's dark green eyes seemed to be shining, and he asked, "Then has there been an old man here today, he should be very thin and gray-haired." ”
Looking at this pair of strange young wizards, in the spirit that more is better than less, the boss subconsciously shook his head and said:
"Nope."
William chuckled, "Lie, he's already here." ”
The owner was taken aback.
William's Regent Mind is already extremely powerful, and it is impossible for the other party to deceive him.
"He didn't buy a wand, what did he ask?" He stared into the wand boss's eyes.
After a moment, William asked himself and answered:
"Oh, so I was looking for where Grigovich went."
