Chapter 43: The Magical Congress of America (Part II)
"Dragon hunting?" Daphany suddenly became energetic: "Wild dragon? ”
"Of course it's a wild dragon," Meng Yuchen said as a matter of course: "A wild dragon is called hunting, and the captive one is called slaughter!" ”
Although the League of Wizards of Nationality has long banned private dragon breeding, it is clear that state institutions are not among them. There are three major dragon farms in the world, one in Russia, one in Ronania and the other in Canada.
In addition to captive dragons, there are also quite a few wild dragons. A considerable part of the Ministries of Magic in various countries spend their energy on concealing the existence of these big guys. However, since hundreds of years ago, it was forbidden to hunt wild dragons without permission. Not exactly to protect the dragon, but to avoid trouble. The wild dragon is very strong, and it is not easy for ordinary wizards to deal with even in groups. Even if you are a top wizard, being able to defeat a dragon is not the same thing as being able to kill a dragon. And the dragon is a very vengeful creature, once the hunt fails, it will go crazy to retaliate, and even gather its own kind to retaliate. Many large-scale attacks by wild dragons in history were caused by hunting failures.
In addition, the captive dragons are completely sufficient for all kinds of use, so the number of dragon hunts has been relatively rare for a hundred years. Especially in Europe, it hasn't happened for more than 100 years. It's the first time Daphany has heard of dragon hunting!
"What a dragon, what a breed. Why are you going to hunt it? Daphine's eyes lit up, and she couldn't get excited.
"A California black ankylosaurus," Meng Yuchen smiled and said, "Big guy!" ”
"Black Armor Dragon!" Daphine's eyes brightened. Black Ankylosaurus is a large dragon species endemic to North America. Adults are more than fifteen meters long and weigh more than five tons. It has black scale armor on its body, and it has extremely strong defense. It can spit out flames that melt rocks, and it is extremely dangerous. It is the largest guy in size after the Ukrainian Iron Belly among all dragons. It has a ferocious personality and is the most irritable and ferocious dragon species outside of the Hungarian Tree Hornet.
"This guy isn't ordinary, he's still a wild dragon." Daphany was a little surprised and said, "Why do you want to tease it all of a sudden?" If you want to hunt it, you have to have a lot of people, right? ”
"Our family, together with a big family here in the United States." Meng Yuchen explained: "There are more than 20 wizards to be dispatched in total, all of whom are at the level of excellent Aurors!" ”
"Twenty excellent Aurors, that's really a big move!" Daphine smacked her lips. The British Ministry of Magic, the competent Aurors who are now in office, don't know if there are twenty of them. Of course, there is more than that, but it is difficult to say whether it is competent or incompetent.
"Well, that big guy has attacked humans several times on the U.S.-Canada border, mostly ordinary people. The government of ordinary people has protested to the Magical Congress. That's why there is such a big movement. Meng Yuchen said with a smile: "At the beginning, the Magic Congress of the United States and the Ministry of Magic of Canada sent people twice, but the first time there were heavy casualties, and although the second time did not suffer, it still let the big guy escape. It's a shame on both sides. However, he was unwilling to continue to bear the loss of personnel, so he paid for us and the Rodman family to go out. ”
Rodman's family! Daphany secretly wondered that this was a very high-ranking old magic family in the United States. The old magic families in the United States are basically related to the old families in the United Kingdom. This Rodman family is inextricably linked to the Longbottom family, which means that it is the same family as Neville. However, it has been more than 200 years since the United States became independent, and it is difficult to say whether it has any connection with this family.
"Anyway...... "Although she is very eager and willing to go, Daphany still can't help but doubt: "Is it appropriate for us to go, this is a very dangerous thing, right?" Your family, and the Rodman family, can you agree with us to go along? ”
"How is that possible?" Meng Yuchen had a stupid expression: "Of course we have to follow secretly!" ”
Daphine was embarrassed, and the whole person was completely speechless.
Meng Yuchen is obviously very unreliable, but should he go? That's definitely the way to go! Dragon hunting is such an interesting thing, and it may not be caught up once in a few years, decades, or even a lifetime. If you miss this village, you won't have this store.
Therefore, although she felt that Meng Yuchen was very unreliable, Dafanie still decided to go crazy with her.
"I'll have to make sure!" Meng Yuchen was very satisfied when she saw that Daphany had decided to go. said with a smile: "How is your strength, will it be dangerous to follow." Well, will the apparition appear? ”
Daphany smiled, waved her wand, and disappeared in place, appearing behind Meng Yuchen almost at the same time.
Daphany also mastered the apparition apparition this year, but she is not under the age of sixteen and cannot be certified. This magic can't be used in the UK, otherwise it will be caught by the Ministry of Magic, big or small. But at this time, she is in the United States, even if it is a trace in her own wand, the British Ministry of Magic can't monitor it, so she can naturally do it at will.
"Awesome!" Meng Yuchen gave Daphany a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Come, try how you master." With a flick of his wand, he disappeared in place.
Daphine smiled, knowing that Meng Yuchen was testing herself. See if you can keep up with her apparitions. This is an alternative use of apparition apparition, which moves with others, and requires a very familiar understanding of apparition to do so. But luckily, Daphany is the kind of person she is very familiar with. With a flick of his wand, he followed the elemental fluctuations brought up by Meng Yuchen's phantom manifestation.
Because she was following, Daphany didn't know Meng Yuchen's destination. When he reappeared, he was soft on his feet, because the two of them were on the top floor of a skyscraper at this time.
"Okay, I thought you'd have to research it before you can keep up." Meng Yuchen said with a smile.
As a member of the Quidditch team, Daphne often flies in the air, and of course is not afraid of heights. But at this time, I still feel a little dizzy when I look down. Visually, it's about three or four hundred meters. What if you fall down...... Thinking of this, Daphany couldn't help but glared at Meng Yuchen angrily.
The phantom manifestation is precisely landed, but it is not certain with the phantom manifestation. An error of tens of meters is not a matter at all. If this guy has one more foot in error......
"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Of course, Meng Yuchen knew why Daphany was annoyed, and said with a smile: "Aren't I here, if you really fly away, I will hold you back." ”
Daphine punched her angrily, but she knew it was going to be fine. Even if Meng Yuchen didn't pull her, she could still use her second phantasmal manifestation or use other flying magic within her sight.
"What is this place?" Seeing that Meng Yuchen continued to smile, Daphany didn't bother to bother with her, looked around, and asked with some curiosity. Such high-rise buildings are not rare in this era.
"Empire State Building!" Meng Yuchen said with a smile: "The second tallest building in New York after Gemini!" I really like to come here and look down, it's so cool. ”
"The Empire State Building." Daphany was talking about the Empire State Building, but her mind was about Gemini. She remembered some bearded man. At this time, I don't know if he made his debut.
"It's a pity," Meng Yuchen didn't know that Daphany was thinking nonsense, and was still muttering with some regret: "I would have liked to go to Gemini more." It's a pity that it's the territory of the McAvian family......"
"The McAvian family?" Daphany frowned slightly, a little incredulous: "You mean ......"
"yes, that's the McCavian you think!" Meng Yuchen nodded: "This family is very domineering. ”
It's strange not to be overbearing. Daphne pouted secretly, McCavian was an ordinary person who didn't know at all, but a famous family in the wizarding world, but not an ordinary magic family, but a vampire family. It is also one of the most prominent thirteen clans. It is also the only one that has anything to do with the wizarding world and the ordinary world.
It's just that McCavian always hides behind the spokesperson, and he doesn't know if he's not a big guy. It was only after dealing with Healyux that Dafanie learned about the family's influence. Because this family is currently the largest purchaser of the new blood elixir of the Cilyax family.
"This family is very strong here?" Daphne asked with interest.
"It's not your average strength." Meng Yuchen pouted: "I don't know what about the ministries of magic in your European countries, but in the realm of the United States, the Magic Congress has a powerful opponent." ”
"Is that the McAvian family? Not really, right? "Daphany is a little unconvinced, the blood clan is powerful, but one family can fight against the magicians of the whole country?
"Of course not." Meng Yuchen shook his head and said: "The thirteen clans of the blood clan, there are three active, and they have formed an organization with the elves, werewolves and dark wizards who are not accepted by the Magic Congress. At the moment, although it has not been in conflict with the Magic Congress, it is not sure when it will be a battle. I can't say it, the order of the American wizarding world will change dramatically at that time. ”
Daphine was thoughtful and didn't say anything. It didn't work, because she didn't know. Her knowledge of the HP world is limited to the films and television works she watched in her previous life, most of which are concentrated in the United Kingdom, and only a few involve other places. So she didn't know what happened to the United States or the rest of Europe during this period, or what had changed. And she can't take care of this, on the British side, there is a rising Dark Lord waiting for her.
Meng Yuchen also seemed to see that Daphany was not interested in this, so he stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he said with a smile: "It seems that you are not at peace over there, look at your entanglement." If you can't do it, go to Canada, where the strength is a little weaker in all aspects, and it is suitable for mixing. I couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
Daphany was about to talk, but she heard a voice behind her.
"Ah, someone came up so soon." Meng Yuchen complained unhappily: "Although this place is good, if there is a lot of movement, there will be underground hemp chickens coming up to make trouble." It's annoying, let's go, you can't use magic with them, or the people from the Magic Council will come in a while. As he spoke, he pulled Daphany up, and an apparition vanished in place.
A moment later, the door to the rooftop opened, and several uniformed security guards came up and walked around, but no one was seen, so they locked the door and left.
