17. Sea Mall (2-in-1)
The Orlova plays a very important role in several countries in the Nordic magical world, after all, Durmstrang does not exist in the system of any national magical power, so it will be difficult for their students to buy some daily items, such as Hogwarts students will go to Diagon Alley, and senior students can also go to Hogsmeade.
Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can also go to York Long Street, but Durmstrang is in such a freezing environment, so there are few wizarding gatherings or even commercial places nearby.
And it's worth mentioning that Durmstrang is the only magic school that doesn't have a Floo network, because it is not attached to any country, so the Ministries of Magic of the surrounding countries have not set up a Floo network for Durmstrang, so their chimneys and fireplaces are used for heating, and nothing else is useful at all.
Then the Orlova has become an important trading platform for the wizarding world in Northern Europe, and since the accident, this ship has been transformed into a magical cruise ship a few years later, such a giant ship, and the cargo in it is not much less than what is sold in a diagon alley.
The ship would sail to and from several countries around the Nordic magical world, and only near the coast, so Durmstrang would naturally be the main place frequented by the ship, almost once a week, even on holidays.
"That's interesting...... I guess this may be the only mobile business trading platform in the wizarding world that is different from Diagon Alley and York Long Street in France. Sherlock said as he touched his chin beside him.
"Lost company, Master Sherlock, Miss Neosana will help you explain the magic of the Orlova!" Karkaroff was uncomfortable for a moment, his face slightly distorted, and then he hurriedly said goodbye to Sherlock.
Naoshana is a seventh-grade girl at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and she admires Sherlock very much, and she is tall, even standing next to Sherlock a lot taller than him, and the other party has shoulder-length short hair, which is considered short among girls.
When looking at Sherlock, the girl always had to look down and bite her lip.
"I want to go to this boat and maybe buy something good...... I hope I can go out with the money! Sherlock and some of the Hogwarts wizards were a little excited, shopping on a ship was something they had never experienced before.
"Master Sherlock, in fact, because of the unique commercial value of this ship Orlova, Gringotts, the largest bank in Europe, has also opened a branch on it." Naoshana said with certainty.
Lupo and Dandeni glanced at each other.
"Then there must be a big treasury on this ship, which belongs to Gringotts Bank, which is really exciting, and they are not afraid that this ship will be robbed by others if it is sailing in the sea outside." Lu Bo grinned beside him.
Kirk stroked his eyes beside him, "Robbing a bank? Not even Mystic nor Grindelwald had done that at the time......"
Sherlock and the others made their way out of the cliff and into the deck of the Orlova, and the interior of the cliff of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry resembled a huge underground fortress.
When Sherlock and the others, whether they were Durmstrang or Hogwarts students, they came to the deck of the Orlova and received not the warm welcome they imagined, nor the cordial greetings of a group of shopkeepers, but a group of ghosts who were not polite and scolding!
"It's the freaks again...... They're running up to the deck! ”
"It's disgusting...... Let them get out of the way...... Get rid of them......"
"Let them jump into the sea, I want to see the wizards turn into chickens!"
"These are all mongrels ......"
As Durmstran's college sister, Naiosana embarrassedly explained to the Hogwarts students, "These ghosts are basically all Muggle passengers and crew members who were killed by those dark wizards, and about twenty or so have turned into ghosts, and they can't leave the Orlova, so they also work on the ship for free, and although they have a bad attitude, they can still get a little useful help." ”
Naoshana was very serious about that little bit.
"In addition, these ghosts have watched a little bit of pirate movies, and they often visit Durmstrang, so they are particularly interested in the pirate ships outside the school."
Before Naoshana could finish speaking, a fierce wind with a fishy smell blew, and the green ghost rushed towards him with a huge kitchen knife in his hand.
"I'm a pirate captain...... No beard, suffer death, you filthy and disgusting wizards. ”
Naiosana told those Hogwarts wizards to be careful, this guy is the most powerful among the ghosts, he used to seem to be the head chef on this ship, and after becoming a ghost, he proclaimed himself the captain, because the ghost can't grow again, so he maintains his previous appearance, he can't grow a beard, and naturally it is impossible to give the nickname of Blackbeard, Redbeard, and Teabeard.
This guy simply calls himself the beardless captain.
He rushed to the position in the direction where Sherlock was, and he saw that most of the Hogwarts wizards were panicked, which made Beardless very excited, but only Sherlock was a very calm and calm one, which made him decide to play tricks on him.
"Fuck off! The magic channel bursts. ”
Dandeni rushed in front of Sherlock, he skillfully pulled out the clutches, and the tip of the staff used magic power to condense the magic guide ball and flew out in an instant and crashed into the beardless ghost body, this is a pure magic compression application, this magic guide burst can also blow up a hole if it falls on an ordinary wizard.
The beardless man ran away in fear, and his spirit was about to dissipate.
Dandeni calmly withdrew his wand, this blind guy dared to come and offend Sherlock, in the whole of Hogwarts, even the most foolish Peeves did not dare to do anything in front of Sherlock, let alone rush directly.
"Your dueling skills are in good contact with Dandney." Sherlock patted Dandeni on the shoulder in affirmation, and among the flustered Hogwarts wizards, only the members of the Dark Wizards were the most calm.
Lubo even yawned.
With Dandney's killing power, the group of ghosts immediately quieted down, and it seemed that the hand just now reminded these ghosts of the moment before they were killed by several dark wizards when they were alive.
Without the ghosts to disturb them, they could finally walk around the ship merrily, and after wandering around it, the wizards lamented that the ship was too big.
Hermione couldn't help but sigh, "This cruise ship has been transformed into a wizard's mall." ”
Cruise ships began as one of the means of transport for the postal service, and also for transporting passengers.
Most cruises are tourist-in-nature.
Since in the early days of the postal service, the intercontinental postal service relied on postal steamers to transport letters and parcels from one shore to the other, and these British steamers often had to fly the Royal Mail signal flag.
This is also because of the powerful influence of cause and effect in the last century, when the sun never set was simply a myth and a frustration in the era of world empires.
After 1850, Royal Mail allowed private shipping companies to contract with them to carry letters and parcels.
As a result of this change, some of the passenger-carrying ocean-going vessels that were originally just the umbrella of the passenger shipping company have been transformed into passenger-carrying ocean-going mail ships flying the signal flag. The term "ocean cruise" was born.
The role of ocean liners has also evolved from cruise ships to pleasure cruise ships only.
Strictly speaking, a fun cruise ship with a long or short journey can only be called a cruise ship rather than a cruise ship because it has lost its function of carrying letters and parcels.
Unlike ocean cruises, cruise ships usually do not cross the ocean, but travel in the most common way of circling, the starting and ending ports are usually the same port, and the journey is usually shorter, as little as 1 to 2 days, as much as 1 to 2 weeks, so the cruise ship must also build a very wide cargo room to ensure the normal use of the crew and passengers in these days.
Cruise tourism has become an important part of international tourism.
Modern cruise ships are touristy, like a mobile hotel.
With all the entertainment facilities on board, it is a tourist destination.
This industry is huge in Europe and the United States, with 300 to 400 cruise ships, and a large number of tourists sail to more than 100 countries and regions in the world such as the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean, and Northern Europe every day.
According to the size of the cruise ship, the cruise ship can be divided into large cruise ships, medium cruise ships and small cruise ships.
Large cruise ships generally carry more than 2,000 passengers, medium-sized cruise ships generally carry 1,000 to 2,000 passengers, and small cruise ships generally carry less than 1,000 passengers.
According to the waters of the cruise ship, the cruise ship can be divided into ocean cruises, offshore cruises and river cruises.
Ocean cruises generally have a longer voyage, with a voyage period of about 10 to 15 days, or even longer, while ocean cruises and river cruises have a shorter voyage, with a voyage period of about 7 days or less.
The Orlova is an ocean liner, so its sheer size and spacious interior, including the seven-story building above deck, make it a huge maritime mobility mall.
Diagon Alley and York Long Street can only be regarded as commercial streets, and they are still far from the real shopping mall, but with the existence of the Orlova, it is estimated that if future wizards continue to use the Orlova as a unique way to carry out wizarding trading places, then a real wizard mall will soon appear.
After a day of visiting and visiting the Orlova, the wizards returned to Durmstrang, and after a sumptuous dinner, the young Hogwarts wizards returned to rest on the Hogwarts Express, where they were to leave for the next place tomorrow.
"Strange how I feel, Krum looks at Mr. Sherlock with a strange look in your eyes...... It was like a defensive look...... "Kirk was keenly aware that Krum in the crowd was always sneaky every time he looked at Sherlock.
But most of the other party's eyes remain on Miss Asinsha, but they will always deliberately guard against Sherlock.
This left Kirk a little out of the corner.
Does Krum like Miss Sherlock, but the look in his eyes is too guarded, you must know that Sherlock and Shimsa are brother and sister.
Sherlock glanced back at Krum, and the other man shuddered.
"It's nothing, it's just a boy with hormones spreading, and he has fallen into a period of fantasy." Sherlock explained.
Due to Durmstrang's remote location, there are not many places to visit around, and it is almost the same after visiting Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Orlova, a unique place for business transactions.
However, Hermione seemed to be a little unsatisfied, she was about to fall in love with the library of Durmstrang School, and almost all books related to dark arts at Hogwarts were in the forbidden area.
Permission must be signed by the professor to access it.
But in this school, there is no need, there are books on black magic in the library, just like popular books, you can read them casually, and it is under the influence of this environment that Grindelwald will conduct all kinds of terrible black magic experiments without a teacher.
But even with a disaster like Grindelwald, Durmstrang didn't change the atmosphere of Dark Arts education.
Each generation of their headmasters insisted that the use of dark magic was entirely judged by the wizard himself, and that black magic was just a little more powerful, and even if Hogwarts didn't teach dark magic, wouldn't there be a terrifying existence like the mysterious man.
"It's a shame I'm leaving tomorrow, but there's a book I haven't finished yet...... It is a book that teaches the theory of black magic. Hermione was a little unsatisfied, even regretful.
Asinsha was relieved, "It's okay, in fact, there are books about black magic in our family's study, after all, the reputation of the Mephisto family is here, and the entire wizarding world knows that the previous ancestors of our family are not much stronger than Grindelwald in terms of personality, including virtue, so if you want to see it, you can go to Mephisto Mansion...... I'll lend you a couple of books on dark arts. ”
Asinsa and Hermione were crammed into a bed, it was Hermione's bed, but Assinsha's words said that her system was afraid of the cold, and it was easy to get cold, and in this wild environment where Durmstrang lived, it was very cold, so it was only warm when the two of them squeezed together to sleep.
At that time, when Hermione was unwilling, Asinsha said righteously, "Everyone is a girl, and aren't you my best friend, what's wrong with hugging and sleeping?" ”
Hermione was stunned, "What you said makes so sense, I'm speechless, but when you sleep with me in your arms, you've been very dishonest in all aspects of your movements, can you stop touching me?" ’
In the second half of the night, Hermione would be gasped by Assinsal, and when she fell asleep, she was like an octopus, holding her dead.
"By the way, in fact, we have two study rooms in Mephisto Mansion, one of which houses the family's various collections, and the other is Sherlock's study for solitary use."
"Mr. Sherlock's study?"
Hearing this name, Hermione always thinks about it.
