Chapter 1186: Inspection

The group returned to the castle tower and headed to the berth area, where a huge floating ship with a sail battleship with the bow of a raven had long been parked, this kind of giant ship with three masts and three decks was not like a squid ship or a nautilus for transportation, but more as a deterrent to announce power and patrol around the floating city with fire dragons, which was used as Alan's flagship at this time.

Percy Weasley, one of the officers in the company, straightened his back, and strode over to take over the sailor's work to lower the staircase, although it was a bit out of place to do such a small thing on his own as the new director of the Department of Magical Communications.

It was only after the ship lifted off that at the entrance to the Hogwarts gates, the settlers began to return to normal order.

Standing on the side of the ship on the top deck and looking down, the streets at the entrance to Hogwarts are bustling with people, and it seems that the population is much livelier than before.

Suddenly, it darkened, then brightened, and the three black dragons of the Hehitiri Islands, who were responsible for patrolling the sky, descended from a high altitude under the control of the wizards riding behind them to escort the warship.

They are a fire dragon native to Britain and are more aggressive than the Welsh green dragon. The black dragon was thirty feet long, with rough scales, bright purple eyes, and a row of spine ridges that were not deep but sharp as a razor. Its tail is topped with a thin arrow and bat-like wings. A black dragon of the Hehitiri Islands, if in a wild state, would need a hundred square miles of territory to feed itself. Feeding mainly on deer, it has long been known to poach larger dogs and even cattle for food.

The McPhasti Wizarding Family, who had lived in the Hehiti Islands for centuries, had a tradition of managing this native fire dragon, but recently this almost exclusive business has been robbed by Harris, just like the squid-shaped floating ships that rise or fall from time to time in various areas of the Floating City, exploding in the sky and disappearing in place, like countless black fireworks coming in and out, representing the business of Hogwarts Floating City.

"Their models are very convenient for transporting large quantities of goods, and those tentacles can load and unload the goods themselves. Percy exclaimed, a camera focused on him up close, "These floatboats are going to fly to the Muggle world, and we've already set up transit stations on the outskirts of big cities in Muggle societies like London, Birmingham, Leeds, etc. ”

"Director Weasley, as the head of the Department of Magical Transportation, you will definitely ensure that wizards are not seen by Muggles when formulating the rules for the use of these new magical vehicles, right?" Fleur's blue eyes blinked lightly, her long waterfall-like silver hair slid down her shoulders as she twisted her head, and her "hoarse" throat was very attractive.

Because Fleur's bloodline seemed to have been strengthened to a certain extent after transforming into a magical Animagus, which made Percy's ears redden, and he quickly turned his gaze to pretend to look at the scenery outside, and kept telling himself that he was making a promotional video, and he had to behave well.

After a while, Percy straightened his back even more, but his tone could not hide his excitement: " Of course, this is my job, we can't use the Muggle Expulsion Charm at the Muggle Transit Station because we need to contact Muggles, and our colleagues in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters have helped us, and their Reversal of Accidental Magical Events team has set up a large area of confusion at regular intervals, and Muggles will only think that they are coming in and out of some large trucks, and when we help the Muggle government to transport to other Muggle countries that have no contact with us, the floating ships will fall to the sea first when they are close to the other port, and cast a spell on their own ships, disguised as Muggles, and the transport ships disguised as Muggles will enter in the light, and the professionals of the same Reversal of Accidental Magical Events team will go with the ship, let the other side's dock officials and entry and exit records make them normal in the eyes of Muggles, and make them ignore the anomalies that a ship can hold so much cargo. ”

"As a member of the International Confederation of Wizards, I cannot but commend you for your efforts in upholding the Law of Secrecy, Director Weasley. Alan complimented Percy with a graceful compliment, causing the third son of the Weasley family to bow in return so much that the glasses on his face fell to the ground.

The camera camera quickly moved from them to the bottom of the scene under Fleur's gesture, focusing on the wizards on the street.

Some of the wizards on the ground are dressed in costumes with the strong regional flavor of their original culture, which indicates that they are also outsiders, but unlike the mental state of the immigrants who have just arrived in Hogwarts Floating City, they are full of energy, and it can be seen that their new life at Hogwarts is very full and energetic.

The camera follows some of the immigrants into conglomerate apartment blocks similar to Sirius' ancestral home at 12 Grimmauld Place.

"These umbrella apartment buildings are low-rent housing for immigrants who don't have enough money, and they can be moved in for a small amount of money. Hermione, her tone was pleasant, sounding like she was very lucky to be able to live in these houses, "Of course, they are not too extravagant, and the decoration is relatively simple, but they are enough to meet the living needs of wizarding families, and the surrounding supporting facilities are relatively complete. ”

At the entrance to the apartment, two wizards dressed in umbrella employee uniforms and carrying blue backpacks with umbrella markings on their backs were a bit of a stinging eye.

Percy, who was a little annoyed because of the mistake just now, just put her glasses back on, and when she saw the camera pausing on them, she immediately took the opportunity to introduce: "The wizard couriers wearing uniforms and carrying this kind of backpack seem to be going back to their homes in the wizarding world to eat and rest between work... They were the new jobs that came about after our Department of Magical Communications and the Muggle Government started working together, and they used that Traceless Telescopic Backpack and Apparition to deliver goods for Muggles, and the more deliveries they delivered, the more money they made..."

Seeing that the camera had turned back to him, Percy added graciously: "These couriers provide a large number of jobs for immigrants, and there are not many couriers who can be qualified at the moment, because unless they are Muggle born, they need to get an O in the subject of Muggle studies, or complete the pre-job training for delivering couriers in the Muggle world and pass the assessment to be able to get a job... Otherwise, people who don't know anything about the Muggle world will make a fuss in the Muggle world..."Percy looked a little excited, "but I have to admit that I've been to the Muggle world for a while... I have to say that the Muggle population is really large, and they are in high demand, especially what the Umbrella Corporation branch of the Muggle world is doing... Is this ?... in online sales?"

"It's a pity that we native English wizards don't seem to be willing to serve Muggles... Unlike immigrants who are open to it, they prefer to do more traditional jobs and give up the opportunity to make easy money. Hermione's tone was a little regretful, "Being a courier is actually much easier and freer than working in the Umbrella Potions job to extract slugs' bodily fluids..."

Percy caught a glimpse of Hermione's expression and reacted that he thought he had offended someone unconsciously.

"Miss Granger, it's still my publicity not in place, it's the responsibility of the Department of Magical Transportation..."Percy stumbled and swiped the ticket, then pointed down the ship to try to change the subject: "By the way, there's the Potions Workshop and the Alchemy Workshop, and beyond that is our destination, the Muggle Item Magic Factory... Speaking of which, the rise of this factory is inseparable from Miss Granger's strong support, my father Arthur..."Percy looked at the camera again, holding his head high, "That is, Arthur Weasley, the head of this factory, he told me that Miss Hermione Granger's parents, the Grangers helped him a lot in this regard, they made him take a lot of detours and chose some very useful Muggle items for him, and these are very valuable to wizards when converted into magical items... The formal wizarding world happens to be inferior to the Muggle world, and when these things are truly popularized, they can greatly improve the quality of life of our wizards, and also provide us with more jobs..."

Hermione heard the nervousness and flattering intent in Percy's words, she first nodded habitually in response, and then recalled that when she was in the lower grades at Hogwarts, she and Percy had a good relationship, both of them were top students, but unlike Allen, they were more inflexible, they liked to yell at people who broke the rules, they were a study aholic at school, and they were workaholic outside of school - but before they knew it, the status of both sides had also changed, and now Percy always used ' The bowing posture made him look like a hunchback, and he was now unconsciously accustomed to the kind of compliments that others even whispered to others.

"It doesn't matter, Percy, as communication with the Muggle government becomes more frequent, their form will naturally change. Alan sensed Hermione's mood change and hugged her, "Speaking of which, although most of the house-elves still refuse to accept wages and holidays, the wizards... At least the wizards at Hogwarts have more respect for them, don't they?"
