At 124 Mark Doug Avenue, the Knox trio apparitions have shifted here, a dirty alley with a staircase leading to the basement that connects to the entrance to their destination.

The three of them held the handrail and climbed down the stairs, and at the bottom of the steps was a cul-de-sac, the doorway had been bricked to death, and on the brick wall was a poster of the age, on which was a modern woman in a red evening gown with blond hair and flaming lips applying makeup to the mirror, and a red lipstick was just below the mirror, and the blind pig bar was written below the poster—as the wizards approached, the eyes of the characters in the portrait began to move and look at them intently.

Ian and Leonard both raised a hand and pointed their wands at themselves, and with a flash of silver-white light, their black magic robes changed into more decent old-fashioned suits, and Ian conjured up a small blue bow tie for himself.

Jessica stood in front of the brick wall with her handbag in hand, waiting for their transformation, she was elaborate in makeup and glorious, her long hair that had been all loose at dinner had been coiled into a lovely bun, fastened with a pearl hairpin, and she was wearing an ice-blue light gauze gown that shimmered blue.

Ian looked at his sister and complained, "Jessica, you can see that you only need to use a spell to complete the cross-dressing, and every time you have to spend time at home to dress up yourself..."

"I don't want to be unspelled by accident. Jessica looked at the woman on the magic poster on the wall tiles, the woman's eyes looked up and down Jessica's delicate dress, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded, showing a smile.

Jessica raised her hand and tapped the poster rhythmically four times, and suddenly the modern girl's eyes were pushed open and hollowed out into a rectangle, revealing a pair of eyes with heavy bags under her eyes and a tight frown. This appearance made this beautiful poster beauty instantly very inconsistent and ugly.

Then, the brick-walled door that separated the noisy bar from the outside was opened by the entrance security guards, and they walked into the smoky bar, where the dense collection of wanted notices proudly plastered on the four walls was covered in dirt. Everything here is filthy and dilapidated, creating an eerie and eerie atmosphere of pleasure.

Leonard frowned and looked at the environment: "It's still so smoky here, but it always makes people want to come here for a drink, put on a swaggering posture, and relax." ”

A diminutive leprechaun waiter in a black tuxedo, holding a large tray full of hoppy beers, walks among the wizards. Some sinister and cunning wizards sneak up in the corner, as if doing some secret deal, and in the far corner of the bar, there is even a giant who gulps directly from a beer barrel as a wine glass.

The wizarding television screen hanging from the bar showed Eren rising into the floating city and the Mither core, and the attention of the people in the hotel had shifted from the recurring TV shows to the narrow stage, where a chestnut-haired wizard stood on the stage to speak, his tone was hurried and he looked a little excited.

"Sir, the change in the situation is already evident. The wizard on the stage paused, gathered his thoughts and continued to express his opinion, "The path before us after today, the path that will allow us to obtain the greatest benefit, is to cooperate with Hogwarts and strive to bring their advanced magic and core technology back to the United States, which is the wisest thing to do... Otherwise, I suspect that our Magic Congress will not be able to develop such a technology as Floating City in a few decades......"

"Falk ... Why should we bow to the arrogant Englishman for these things?!, he made it out... Fuck you, bastard..."

But he's right, not only Congress, but also Ilvermorny, who has always been too rigid and has not innovated for so many years. However, Congress did not step up its support for Ilvermorny. ”

"America is a free country! We don't need Britain's nuclear or their tea!"

The three Ians, who had just entered the tavern, were looking around the hall to find a place when they saw the commotion, but before Leonard could complain, a young man approached them.

"Hey, Ian's side!"

He is the protagonist who invited Ian today, Gangforss Grevis, this male wizard has short black hair on his head combed neatly parted, and the two are impressive that he has a pair of thick and black eyebrows, the lower bridge of the nose is high, and the jawline is tight, and the well-defined chin makes the whole person look very resolute, and the mage robe on his body is not luxurious, but the straight back makes him look very graceful when he walks in this dark side hall.

"Oh, Mr. Knox, I didn't expect you to come here tonight, it seems that our young men are really lucky... Mr. Knox, you have just returned from England, and if we are fortunate enough to hear your opinions, we will certainly be able to have a more specific understanding and judgment of the actual situation in England..."Forford Graves greeted Leonard warmly, and took the initiative to bow slightly and extend his hand to shake Leonard's hand.

"Mr. Grevis... You've won the prize, but I'm mainly just here for a drink today..."Leonard gently shook the other party's hand and shook it up and down, although he couldn't help but feel that the other party was indeed not annoying, but because of the difference in positions and factions, he had no intention of continuing to communicate.

"That's a shame... But the giggles and jazz here are pretty good. Stiff Fuji didn't care, and then, he looked at Jessica with some deep and charming eyes, "Jessica, I stole a piece of the total sandwich you made for Ian last time, it was soft and cottony, especially the chicken breast inside, it was not juicy at all, but it was very flavorful, can you tell me the secret recipe here? I hope my wife Carmen can learn this hand..."

Ian roared in annoyance, "What?!, you stole my sandwich."

"Ian, what about your politeness?" Jessica smiled brightly as her cooking skills were recognized, "Please tell Mrs. Echorg that the trick is actually to marinate it with coarse salt for half an hour in advance, but Mr. Grevis, if you like, I'll make more for Ian to bring to you next time." ”

"Call me Rigidity Fuji, Jessica, don't be so outside... You know I'm on good terms with Ian. Graves admonished earnestly.

"I beg your pardon for needing to find a seat first," Leonard frowned, then pointed to a small wizard with a small flat head who walked over quickly, "and it seems that this gentleman has something to do with you." ”

"Ah, it must be Mr. Chamberlain's speech that is almost over, and I'm going to be on stage next..."Rigidity Fuji glanced back, "It seems that this is the case, I beg your pardon, I have to lose a moment... Let's have a few drinks together if we can..."Rigidity Fuji bowed slightly to the wizards of the Knox family, "But Mr. Knox, this bar provides a platform for wizards to express their opinions and discuss freely... I have always had great respect for your wisdom and qualifications, and if it is a privilege, please listen to the heartfelt words of this immature young man, I know that we often disagree, but I sincerely hope to have Mr. Knox's guidance... Everything we do is for the sake of America. ”

Leonard exhaled and let his distant-leaved voice say softly, "All for America." ”

Rigidity Fuji nodded again and turned to leave, while the chestnut-haired wizard Chamberlain had stepped down from the stage, and in the middle of Rigidity Fuji's preparation for his speech, a female singer who appeared to be a half-race fairy in a silver revealing costume stepped onto the narrow podium, which elicited applause and whistles from wizards and other magical races who were not interested in current affairs.

The music that exudes the free atmosphere of jazz sounds, lazy and slightly sad tones, slow swaying rhythms, faint jazz piano sounds, a psychedelic mellow jazz picture rolls up...

The non-human female singer looked up, she had a long face, half-closed acting eyes, and long, narrow, pointed ears with it; The back of her head protrudes violently, and from the side it looks like a round, elongated egg—her cranial cavity seems to be very large, one and a half times the size of a normal person.

She had a few silver, snake-like pigtails on the top of her bare head, and in the middle of her forehead, two bifurcated horns in her heart, and her pointed and tall nose and delicate features made the singer seem to have some unusual charm.

While the female singer was singing, many house-elves in the sheltered places on the stage stretched out their fingers, emitting a lot of silver light, and in these dots of silver light, some white smoke rose with it, and the various pictures sung by the female singer were conjured on it.

And Leonard had already taken the siblings to a slightly corner spot that he had just favored.
