Chapter 44: The Unreliable Meng Yuchen
On the third day of Daphine's arrival in the United States, two days before Christmas, the dragon hunt was about to begin.
In the past two days, Daphine did not stay at the Meng family's place, but stayed in the hotel where her adoptive mother Taliya lived.
Talia is currently at the top of a super-large multinational group in the United Kingdom, and with the support of Daphany using the resources of the wizarding world, it can be described as a mixed bag. Business trips are all to live in the top suite, and it is naturally no problem to stay with one more Daphany.
"Are you going out today?" Seeing that Daphany didn't go out for a run and morning exercise, Talia asked.
"Well, hanging out with friends, I may not be back for dinner today." Daphine replied obediently.
Talia only said that Dafanie was going to play at her friend's house here, so she didn't care. She has been away from home for a long time, and she is still very relieved about her little girl. Of course, the premise is that she doesn't know that her little girl is going to watch someone slay dragons.
When Taliya went to work, Daphany came to Meng Yuchen's room with a phantasmal appearance. The latter had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Daphany coming, he complained again and again: "Why are you here, hurry up, they are all leaving." After saying that, he grabbed Daphany and grabbed a large worn brush on the table, and without waiting for Daphany to say a word, the next moment a spatial distortion disappeared in place.
Doorkey! This was Daphany's reaction.
Day! This was Daphany's idea.
Daphany cursed, then vomited. She had just finished eating, and it might have been fine if it had been an apparition, but the spinning portkey was completely unacceptable. The intense twisting stem brought about violent vomiting.
Meng Yuchen was embarrassed all of a sudden, and hurriedly blessed Dafanie with a recovery technique, and at the same time bowed again and again and said apologetically: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you just finished eating, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing Meng Yuchen's embarrassed face, Daphany was embarrassed to say anything more, and muttered: "Little girl's family." How reckless all day long! So he took out a bottle of potion and drank it. As the big boss behind the world's largest mid-to-low-level potion supplier at the moment, Daphine certainly has all kinds of recovery potions with her.
Regaining her strength, Daphany looked around and found a large expanse of water at the edge of the water.
It's really a big body of water, and if it weren't for the calm water, Daphany would have suspected that this was the seaside.
"This is ......" Daphany was a little blind, and she didn't know where Meng Yuchen had taken her.
"Lake Superior!" Meng Yuchen said very bluntly. Daphine pondered for a while before she realized, it turned out to be the world's largest freshwater lake, no wonder it was so big!
"And the wild dragon is here?" Daphany asked curiously, of course they didn't come to see the lake, but to see the dragon.
"Well, it's around here, I don't know where it is!" Meng Yuchen looked around, and at the same time said something particularly unreliable.
"You don't know where the feelings are?" Dafanie's nose was crooked, Meng Yuchen said that the thieves were lively, but she didn't know where the specific place was for a long time.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Meng Yuchen was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "There's no way, my uncle didn't let me follow at all, I could only secretly get a door key that they had arranged before." Otherwise, I won't be able to keep up. But don't worry, it's not far away. I got this portkey when they came back to resupply the day you came to America. They can't run far! ”
Your sister. Daphany was completely speechless, if she knew it was like this, she wouldn't have come with her at all. But now that you're here, go back...... I can't go back. Daphine's apparition can't go that far!
He took a deep breath and swallowed the words that had come to his mouth and were absolutely not suitable for girls. Daphany asked fiercely, "Then how do you find it now?" Is there a plan? ”
"Yes, yes, of course!" Meng Yuchen nodded again and again, touched it from his pocket, and took out a small iron box. Open the box, and inside is a large butterfly. The butterflies are colorful, and there is a faint colorful rhyme, which is extremely beautiful.
Daphine's eyes lit up, and she searched for butterflies! It is a wonderful magical creature cultivated by magicians, and this butterfly can find its eggs no matter how many mountains and rivers there are. So, as long as you place its eggs on someone's belongings, you can find them no matter how far away. These eggs are only the size of a needle tip, so they are not easy to find on clothing, and they do not fall easily.
"Looks like you know this thing." Seeing Daphine's appearance, Meng Yuchen knew that Daphany knew this thing, and said with a smug smile: "I put the eggs on my uncle's space bag." Butterfly Finder will definitely be able to find them. "ok essay network
Daphine's face is still not good-looking, and it is true that she can find her eggs thousands of miles away, but the two of them have to keep up with its speed, can this be done? And it's a big lake. Dafanie looked at the lake, a little weak, in this life she is a little afraid of water, which is very embarrassing.
Daphany put forward her opinion, Meng Yuchen smiled, and then acted as if a trick...... Well, well, it's a trick. She pulled out two broomsticks from her pocket: "Here, how about trying this new product." ”
Looking at the broom that Meng Yuchen took out, Dafanie thought it was a fire crossbow arrow at first glance. Because there are also foot guards at the tail of these two brooms. This is a design that is only available on the market. However, if you look closely, you will find that this one does not look like a fire bolt, but rather a ......
"Sweeping the Seven Stars?" Daphany was a little unsure, this broom looked a bit like the style of the Sweep Seven Stars at first glance, but it was quite different from the previous Sweep series.
"Hehe, good eyesight, worthy of being a broom collector!" Meng Yuchen said with a hippie smile: "This is the latest design of the sweeping company, and it is still in the testing stage. It is the latest model to fight against the Fire Ballista, and it is currently tentatively named Sweep Nine Stars! ”
Daphany nodded clearly, and the appearance of the fire crossbow arrow made the original two giants of the light wheel and sweep under great pressure. Whether it is the latest Halo 2002 under the command of the Light Wheel or the 7th generation of the Seven Stars, it is crushed in all directions compared to the fire crossbow arrows. Even the 2003 emergency launch of the light wheel company still could not change this situation.
Of course, it is impossible for the two giants to sit idly by, and the light wheel company has already released news through official channels. The newly launched Light Wheel 2003 will serve as the last in the 2000 series. In the near future, the company will launch a cross-era (as they call itself) product, the Light Wheel 3000. There is no official announcement from the sweeping company, but I didn't expect it to be quiet, and the test models have come out.
However, only Dafanie knows that whether it is the light wheel of three thousand or the sweep of nine stars, although compared with the original product of her own family, the performance has been greatly improved. But compared with the fire crossbow arrow, there is still a considerable gap. The firebolt has basically reached the limit of all aspects of the performance that the broomstick can achieve. Whether it's a light wheel or a sweep, if you want to catch up, you can't do it in a moment.
"How many test models are there? If it's convenient, sell me a handful! Although she was not optimistic that Sweeping Nine Stars could catch up with the fire crossbow arrows, as a rich collector, Daphany still proposed the idea of collecting for the first time.
"It's no problem to sell you, there are some test models, and the collection value is average. It's definitely not as good as your test firebolt. "Meng Yuchen is also a Quidditch enthusiast. However, her talent is average, and she only joined the academy team this year, and she is not a regular choice. However, although she is not a regular player, her love for Quidditch and Quidditch equipment is not inferior. When she visited Daphany's house in the summer, she saw Daphine's collection of brooms and Draco's test firebolts, and her saliva of envy flowed out.
Daphany was very dark at the time, this chick hadn't seen her collector's edition of the numbered fire bolt.
Negotiated a deal to sweep the Nine Star test model at a price that was satisfactory to both parties, and both of them rode on broomsticks. Meng Yuchen released the tracking butterfly.
The Tracing Butterfly flies very fast, but much slower than the Golden Snitch. The broomsticks of the Sweep series have been designed to be capable of all positions since the early five-star series, and can be used by Seekers, so they can naturally keep up with the Golden Snitch in terms of speed. As the latest sweep of nine stars, it is naturally more relaxed. The two of them flew very comfortably, and they were already flying fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but in their eyes, they could only say that they were ordinary tracing butterflies.
The route tracked by the butterfly is the best route, so the terrain is not picked. At this time, it is flying fast directly on the surface of the lake. It's also thanks to the broomstick that Daphine and the others use, otherwise the general method is a bit troublesome.
After flying for a while, the gap between the two was visible.
There are ordinary shipping boats on Lake Superior, so the two of them fly at a high altitude, and this extremely high-altitude flight is very energy-intensive.
Under the hellish level of training, Daphine didn't care about this kind of flight, and even felt very comfortable with this kind of flight without changing direction and no confrontation. I don't feel the exertion of physical strength at all, and it's leisurely. But Meng Yuchen is not good, she is only a reserve player in the academy team, and the training volume is already low, compared to Daphine, who has exaggerated training intensity, there is no comparison at all. After flying for half an hour, I felt noticeably tired.
"Then take a break." Daphany said that at the same time, Meng Yuchen recalled the tracer butterfly and lay on the broom and gasped. At the same time, keep trying to change positions, rubbing the numb legs and waist.
"Alas, I've always thought that it would be nice to use a broomstick during a competition. If you are in a hurry every day, it is more convenient and comfortable to invent the flying carpet invented by the Persians. However, the decree of the Magical Congress of the United States does not allow the introduction, what an idiot! Meng Yuchen chattered and complained.
Daphine pouted, and she felt the same way. Although she didn't feel this level of flying at all because of the rigorous training, it didn't mean that she just enjoyed it. I have to say that the flying broom is absolutely not comparable with the flying carpet in terms of comfort. Unfortunately, the British Ministry of Magic also lists it as a prohibited item and prohibits its its importation. Daphany once thought that when she became more influential, she must abolish this rule.
Just as she was about to echo the two sentences, Daphany suddenly froze. Squinted his eyes slightly, and looked around. Unfortunately, in order to avoid being seen by people on the ground, they flew among the clouds. At this time, a large number of clouds around obscured the view.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yuchen noticed Daphany's strange appearance and asked in a low voice.
"Something seems to be approaching!" Daphany replied in a low voice, and her wand remained silently in her hand.
Puff, like the sound of a flag being blown by the wind, or - the sound of wings flapping.
Not good! Daphany was shocked, this kind of dynamic wing flapping must be a big guy. But before she could warn, a dark shadow had broken through the cloud on the left and let out a scream and lunged at the two of them.
