CHAPTER XXIS
"Little girl, you two are wizards, aren't you?" The old man said with a smile.
Daphany and Hermione were stunned at the same time, and Daphany almost subconsciously swept the old man with her mental power to check whether the old man was also a wizard. However, the old man did not have any magic fluctuations. If it was in the Aegean world of her previous life, Daphany would suspect that the other party was a saint-level master, and she could perfectly suppress her own elemental fluctuations.
But there is obviously no such thing in the HP world. Even if he is as strong as a white wizard, his magic power is at most at the level of a magister in his previous life. And there is no such thing as elemental repression in this world. Therefore, the old man in front of him must be just an ordinary person. Or maybe it's a squib?
Seeing that Dafanie and Hermione looked confused and surprised, the old man smiled smugly and beckoned the two to enter his small shop.
Daphany was surprised to find a small astronomical telescope in the store.
"I was bored just now, so I wanted to use this to see the seagulls, but when I saw two little girls riding on brooms, I thought I was old and had delusions. I wanted to bask in the sun and relax my mind, and I saw you......"
"That's it!" Daphany nodded, "Grandpa, aren't you afraid of us?" ”
"Scared, wizard?" The old man laughed: "I'm all this age, is there anything else to be afraid of?" ”
Shouldn't you be more afraid of death when you're older? Daphany secretly slandered.
"That's right!" Hermione seemed to understand at this moment: "Grandpa, my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger. This is my classmate Lestranzi. The two of us had an accident, so we got here. What kind of place is this? ”
"Well, you may call me Old Joseph. You say an accident, will an accident happen to a magician? The old man, or Joseph the Elder, was a little surprised: "As for this place, this is the town of Corvo!" ”
"Well, I know this is the town of Corvo, and the town says ......" Daphany was a little speechless.
"Oh, then, this is the island of Corvo, which belongs to Portugal and is located in the middle of the Atlantic! A little further south, there's also the larger island of Santa Cruz Darsh Floris! Joseph Sr. said.
Daphany and Hermione exchanged glances, still completely unheard of the name.
Old Joseph also seemed to see that the two did not know this at all, and it was not surprising. He asked with a smile: "Where do you want to go with the two little wizard ladies?" ”
"America! We are traveling from the UK to the US! Hermione replied.
"America...... Wait...... old Joseph said, turning to go upstairs, where Hermione and Dafanie waited stupidly. A moment later, Joseph Sr. came downstairs with a roll of paper in his hand.
Joseph Sr. opened the paper on the counter, and it turned out to be a map of the world. He pointed to an empty Atlantic in the middle: "We are in this place now, and if you want to go to the United States, it will be at least a few thousand kilometers!" ”
Thousands of kilometers......
Both Daphine and Hermione's faces are a little unsightly! Even the fastest fire crossbow bolts can only travel at a speed of just over 200 kilometers per hour. Sweeping the Nine Stars is only in the early 200s. If you want to fly over, at least thirty or forty of them will disappear.
"It seems that even a magician can't travel thousands of kilometers at once!" Old Joseph looked at their expressions and said with a smile.
"It's not impossible, but you definitely need to prepare in advance." Dephany said in chagrin, "We came here by accident, and there is no magician stationed here, so many methods cannot be used!" ”
"Native wizards...... "Old Joseph thought for a moment, "I do know that there might be a wizard nearby!" ”
"Oh?" Hermione and Daphne's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Hermione asked eagerly, "Where is he?" ”
"It's not easy to find a place for her to stay~" Old Joseph said with a smile.
Before Hermione could react, Daphany understood. He smiled slightly: "Grandpa, do you need our help with anything?" You see, we're all wizards, and a lot of things that seem very difficult to you are actually a piece of cake for us! ”
"Oops, that's embarrassing!" Old Joseph suddenly laughed like a sunflower, and although he said he was embarrassed, he quickly pulled out a small box from his pocket. The box opened, and inside was a silver chain with a smiling gem on it: "This was bought by my wife and I in Lisbon, it was supposed to be a pair." But the other one I got lost in the sea a few years ago while swimming with my boss. Alas, my wife has always felt very guilty about this, and the year before last, she was seriously ill, and she held my hand and said that she wished she could get the necklace back......"
As he spoke, Joseph looked away and looked out the window at the sky, his gaze deep.
"Grandpa, ...... of the festival," Daphany said with some emotion.
"What are you mourning?" Old Joseph looked puzzled, and then suddenly suddenly. took two mouthfuls in a row: "What do you think, my wife's illness has long been cured......" Xin Lewen
Daphany and Hermione both had black lines on their faces.
"How's that, can you find it?" Old Joseph regained his smile again.
Hermione looked frustrated, it was clearly beyond her ability. Daphne frowned and began to wonder if it was possible. If you just fish out a necklace from the deep sea, it is very easy. However, the premise is to know the exact location of the necklace. If you want to find a necklace from the sea, it is not so easy.
Joseph Sr. apparently had little hope in the first place. But seeing that Daphany began to frown and think, she couldn't help but have a trace of anticipation, "How is it?" Is it possible? ”
"It's going to be hard, but it's not impossible! Need to give it a try! Daphne thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "You'll have to take us to the place where you lost your necklace first." ”
Joseph Sr.'s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly closed the shop and locked the door. The rest of the town was surprised when they saw it, and he said that his relatives' children were coming. Take Hermione and Daphany to the shallows of the island.
"That's where we started! It's about a few kilometers ahead. I went in a dinghy. But the dinghy is no longer there......" said Old Joseph with some embarrassment.
"If it's a few kilometers, there should still be a chance." Daphany smash it, smash it, smash it. After passing Joseph Sr.'s other necklace, he looked closely at it, and after confirming that the two necklaces were identical, he flipped his wrist and poked out his wand. Whisper a mantra to the sponge: "The necklace is flying!" ”
Yes, Daphany tried the simplest of the Flying Charms first.
Half a minute later, nothing happened. Two minutes later, nothing happened.
"Either the necklace is out of my magic sphere, or the shape has changed!" Daphany smashed her mouth and thought about it, "Either way it is not easy to deal with, but we can do it another way." ”
As she spoke, she placed the necklace and the box on the ground. Sit cross-legged yourself. The wand flicked slightly, then let go. The wand floated slowly in the palm of her hand.
Old Joseph's eyes lit up suddenly, except for the first time he had observed the two of them flying through the binoculars, this was the first time he had seen the two of them actually use a spell that looked magical - the flying spell just now had no effect, it was not magical at all.
"Tell me where the sister of this necklace is!" Daphany whispered, then chanted a spell. The floating wand slowly spun around twice, and then the tip of the wand pointed in one direction. There is some deviation from the direction pointed before the old constraint.
"Well, it looks like it's not far away. It's just that the shape has changed a little! Daphany nodded, secretly relieved. Her worst fear was being picked up by other divers, or swallowed by some sea creature, and then going thousands of miles away.
"So, can you find it?" Joseph Sr. was also excited.
"It's very likely!" Daphany nodded, silently releasing a ghost. The wraith swam rapidly through the water in the direction of Daphany's wand.
However, a few minutes passed, and the ghost found nothing.
Niang Xipi, Daphine felt a little hot on her face.
Especially when Joseph Sr. and Hermione looked at her expectantly, but she didn't get anything, which made her panic.
"Niang Xipi, you wait, the old lady won't believe it!" Daphany scolded. Walked to the beach and jumped in. The moment you enter the water, you transform into a petite dolphin.
"Ah...... Ahhh Old Joseph was startled, pointed his finger in the direction Daphany had left, and stammered. It took a long time to look at Hermione beside her: "Just now, that girl, what's her name, anyway, it's that girl." You just became a dolphin, didn't you? Right, right? ”
"yes!" Hermione could fully understand Joseph Sr.'s astonishment, and in fact she was very envious. She is already very proficient in animal transformation books, but the human transformation technique is still not hot. Listening to Joseph Sr.'s words, Hermione nodded, "Well, Daphany is very, very outstanding even among us wizards!" ”
Daphine didn't know that little Hermione was praising her, and she was now very envious of the strange underwater magic that the two warriors of Nagud Inafer had used last year. Unfortunately, due to their poor relationship with Nagud Inafer, none of the other academies were able to get their hands on this magic.
After swimming for a while, Daphany changed her form and used her wand to confirm her direction again. This time the wand only turned in one turn and pointed in one direction, apparently much closer.
After a few minutes, Daphany finally found the necklace covered in a layer of green algae from a long fish hole.
No wonder you can't find it, it turned out to be like this! Daphany pouted secretly.
After a cleansing spell, the necklace was restored to new condition. Old Joseph saw the necklace and was overjoyed. They were told that on a larger island not far away, there was a clockmaker who the townspeople believed to be a wizard, but there was no evidence.
Daphany and Hermione followed Joseph Sr.'s direction to a watch shop on another island. After pushing the door in, although she didn't see the owner, Dafanie still determined the identity of the other party's wizard in an instant. There are a lot of gadgets in the room, and many of them have magical properties. Especially at the door, there is a speculum!
