Chapter 501: An Unexpected Invitation
Out of caution and caution, Albert poked the envelope a few times with a cryptographic controller and an honesty detector before opening the letter to make sure there was nothing strange or dark magic inside.
He usually does this with items sent by strangers.
Of course, before opening the envelope, remember to put on a dragonskin glove for yourself, God knows what will be inside.
This is a letter from the United States, from a wizard named Nicholas, Albert certainly did not know the other person, this man is still an alchemist, because he mentioned Serra Harrysis in the letter.
The other party directly invited him to the United States, but did not elaborate on the reason, so Albert was a little confused when he read the letter.
Not only that, but the sender also reminded Albert at the end of the letter not to use owls to send letters, as the use of owls to send letters is prohibited in the American wizarding world, which is likely to attract the attention of No-Majas (Muggles).
America's owl is out of work?
Are you kidding?
So how did this letter get here?
Albert said he was a little confused.
In the letter, in addition to the invitation letter, there were two tickets.
Yes, tickets.
King's Cross Station, platform seven and a half tickets.
As far as Albert knew, Platform Seven and One Half was located between platforms 7 and 8, from where it was possible to take long-distance trains to wizarding villages on the continent.
That's right, to Europe, not to the United States.
Didn't that guy invite me to the United States?
Why does it come with such a ticket?
What puzzled Albert even more was that in addition to this, there was another Floo network ticket, a ticket to the United States.
The specific time is 11:40 on July 18, the 17th fireplace.
Moreover, the ticket did not mention the specific location, let alone tell Albert where to get off and use the International Floo Network there, which was simply suffocating.
All right!
Is that what it means to let Sierra take him?
Albert opened the letter that Serra had sent him, and it did not say anything except that he was going to visit his friend Nicholas in the United States, and invited Albert to go with him to the United States to meet the famous alchemist.
Just a simple meeting?
Albert was suspicious of this, and neither Sierra nor Nicholas elaborated on it in the letter.
Generally speaking, the shorter the letter and the more vague the content, the more important it means, especially in this case, they should at least give themselves a brief explanation.
Otherwise, the situation is very abnormal.
What exactly is the reason?
Actually, it's good to stay at home during the summer vacation, it's really not interesting to run around in such a hot weather, and it's not going on vacation.
It's just that whether it's Bard or someone else looking for themselves, they obviously have a purpose.
Expand your network?
Or is it necessary to know Nicholas?
Albert wrote down his doubts on a piece of paper and stuffed it in an envelope and sealed it.
The owl is a bit insufficient.
He sighed, and instead of asking Shira to deliver the letter immediately, he stuffed it in a drawer and prepared to wait until tomorrow.
Although it is not impossible to refuse outright, Albert still thinks it is better to ask, and maybe he can trigger some tasks.
Outside of Hogwarts school, the probability of triggering panel quests is always low, and the difficulty of the quests is relatively high.
The next morning, Albert was woken up by the sound of an owl.
When he opened his eyes and sat up, he noticed that there was an extra brown owl in his room, and it was huddled with Xuera on the owl shelf.
The two owls were glaring at each other, much to Albert's surprise when they didn't fight.
Albert walked over to the desk and handed Hermione's letter to Sheila, then took out two more letters and placed both letters on the table.
I guess no one would have such troubles as him!
The owl landed in front of the letter addressed to Bard Broad.
Albert picked up the letter and handed it to the owl, causing it to grab the envelope and leave.
Shoving the letter to Sierra back into the cupboard, Albert washed up and went downstairs to prepare for breakfast, when he heard a tickling sound coming from the door of Nia's room.
Raising his hand and knocking lightly on the door, there was no other reaction in the room, and Albert quietly opened the door and released Tom from the room.
Nia is still sleeping, and her sleeping position is not very good.
Albert brought the door back to the door, and one man and one cat went downstairs for breakfast.
Daisy was frying bacon, while Herb was flipping through today's newspaper and, when she heard footsteps, looked up to say hello to Albert.
"Last night, someone sent me a letter inviting me to ......"
"Invited...... Are those so-called experts and professors again?"
Daisy, who had just put the fried bacon on the plate, glared at her son, obviously sensitive to the matter.
Daisy doesn't really want her son to run around, and although they trust Albert's abilities, they still don't feel comfortable with his young age.
"Well, it's not decided yet, and I'll talk about it when the time comes. Albert said vaguely. He didn't like bacon very much, it was really salty, and he never ate it except for bacon sandwiches.
"Son, I believe in your abilities, but you are always running around and we are not very reassured. Herb put down the newspaper and said solemnly, "If you want to go out, bring that mirror with you, and remember to contact us on time every day." ”
Daisy crossed her waist and glared at her husband dissatisfied, she had expected Herb to stop Albert, but she didn't expect him to indulge her son like this.
So, Albert now likes to run around during the summer holidays.
"Don't go out for too long, mom will be worried. Herb added.
"Hmm. ”
Albert weighed the cat food and poured it onto Tom's plate.
Tom looked at the food in his bowl, snorted dissatisfiedly, and began to eat it.
As Albert returned to his seat to make himself a bacon sandwich, he saw an owl fly in through the window, and the old owl seemed to have exhausted all his strength during the trip, and almost fell headlong on the table and died.
"This owl is very old, and they are abusing the owl. ”
Herb picked up the food in time and protested to Albert as he watched the tired old owl on the table.
"It's really time to retire. Albert chimed in.
Weasley's owl, what's it called?
Albert doesn't remember anymore.
He put the owl in a place to rest and prepared some water and food for it.
The letter was sent by the twins, and they reported (showed off) the latest achievements to him, and by the way, they also attached a few copies of the finished product, and finally asked Albert to take the time to help them solve some of the problems they encountered.
