Wang Yong and Hermione appeared here in an instant. There wasn't a hint of vertigo, as if they had just walked here.
It was a semi-abandoned teleportation array, surrounded by a clutter of rocks barely forming a circle, and the clearing was overgrown with weeds. There was a chill in the air, as if it had suddenly arrived in early spring. The weather is cloudy and the lake reflects a pale black color. The lake is surrounded by rocky rocks and scattered fir trees.
"It's so desolate." Hermin sighed.
She kicked the small rocks at her feet, making a tumbling sound. The surroundings are quiet, except for the rough wind blowing and the constant sound of the lake lapping on the banks. Not even the Inuit.
Wang Yong looked at everything around him and showed a certain satisfied smile, this kind of environment feels more suitable for penance, and there is a kind of rough beauty.
"Now can you always tell me what magical beasts you're here for?"
"Suzaku Bird."
Hermione's eyes widened, "Suzaku? What is that? ”
Wang Yong smiled and said, "You can think of it as a kind of phoenix. ”
"Phoenix?" Hermione looked at Wang Yong with suspicion.
Wang Yong smiled and said, "Didn't Dumbledore also meet Fawkes during his travels?" Maybe we have that opportunity? ”
Hermione pursed her lips, she didn't believe in these things, even when she entered the wizarding world, she thought according to the principles of science.
But the reason why magic is magic is that it has its uncertainties, and if the results can be obtained simply by relying on formulas, why not carry out standardized industrial mass production? If magic were like that, then Britain wouldn't be the world's magical center.
"Let's go." Wang Yong put on a big coat for himself, and took out two flying broomsticks, one was to sweep the seven stars, and the other was a silver arrow, slow but safe.
Hermione also put on her coat and rode the Silver Arrow.
They gradually flew northeast along the terrain.
Observing all the way, Wang Yong added a phantom charm to Hermione. A fire charm is added to the coat so that flying at high altitude will not be cold or detected.
Speaking of which, this side and Australia and New Zealand are still under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, and it would not be fun for the British Ministry of Magic to come across the ocean to arrest people because of the two of them being discovered by Muggles.
After a few hours of flying, the trees became fewer and fewer, and the weather gradually became gloomy, and it seemed that there was always a cloud due north that could not be dissolved.
Hermione was also a little tired, and the two of them couldn't help but get off the broomstick, and by this time they had already entered the tundra area.
The two stopped, sat down in silence, and lit some fires.
Hermione looked at Wang Yong in her hood and said, "I never thought that one day I would come to a place like this. ”
Wang Yong avoided answering: "I said you want to eat something hot?" ”
Hermione looked at Wang Yong incredulously: "Impossible, there is not even a rabbit here." I've brought some dry food, biscuits, dried fruits, etc., can you eat them? ”
Wang Yong smiled: "I'll go back when I go." In general, Wang Yong is quite satisfied with Hermione, and she doesn't seem to have any complaints about this environment. In the seventh part, when the trio wanders together in search of Horcruxes, only Hermione and Harry can hold on, even if there is little hope, even if they eat mushrooms every day.
But in general, he is not ready to treat himself badly.
In an instant, he disappeared into the wizarding world.
At this point, he returned to his native world and began his normal day's work.
As he did it, he wondered if Hermione would die there if he hadn't returned to the wizarding world now......
After all, she didn't seem to remember the way back.
After work, Wang Yong went to the restaurant and asked for two large portions of steaming beef noodles to take away.
The next moment, he reappeared in the wizarding world.
It seemed to Hermione that it had only been a second.
She wiped her eyes and found that Wang Yong had two extra steaming Chinese noodles on her hand.
"Where did you just go?"
"Eat." Wang Yong handed her one of them.
Hermione clumsily ate noodles with chopsticks and said with some excitement, "I didn't think about the Arctic tundra and steaming food. ”
Wang Yong, who had been running for a day, said with a smile while eating: "Don't talk about eating, there is no problem at all with housing." ”
It was the polar day of the Arctic Circle, and although the sky was not clear, there was a bright light that never went out.
It was not until seven or eight o'clock that the two of them flew near the Mackenzie Mountains before stopping.
Hermione was visibly tired.
"Where do we rest?"
As soon as Wang Yong grabbed her shoulder, the next moment she came to a gray square space.
It's not big, but it's obviously not as cold as the outside.
There was some of Wang Yong's luggage and a bed inside.
Hermione nodded, these seemed normal to her, as many of the wizard's tents, handbags, and suitcases had this function. Legend has it that Newt Scamman, the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", had a suitcase that even contained a small world inside.
The problem is that there is only one bed, though.
That's what Hermione cares about.
Wang Yong followed Hermione's gaze and hurriedly added, "It's okay, I'll lay the floor later." ”
Of course, whether this sentence is true or false, only he knows.
Hermione bit her lip: "No need, it's so big anyway, it's enough for two people." ”
Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
The space has all the basic equipment. Wang Yong bought two more steaks and pizza from the original world, ate them, chatted for a while, washed them and went to sleep. Although the two of them almost shared the same bed, they were so tired that they fell asleep without much thought.
……
The next ten days were like this, and Hermione couldn't figure out how Wang Yong found it, but she didn't care much.
The first is that she is by Wang Yong's side, and the second is that she has also learned a lot along the way.
In this far north, of course, there are quite a few magical creatures. From the tree guard pot to the glacial monitor lizard, of course, at one point they also met the Yukon Fire Dragon.
The big creature was clearly bored in the desolate Northlands, howling and burning rocks.
Crossing the Canadian border into Alaska, Wang Yong even gave up the broomstick and walked every day just to find a little more detailed.
He had a feeling that he would find, or rather say, that some kind of fate would have a Vermilion Bird.
Hermione suffered a few times after him, and her feet were worn out a few times, but fortunately, there was no problem with food and shelter. During this time, Hermione had eaten a variety of Chinese food. Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and early soup dumplings.
Food is one of the five exceptions to Kamp's basic law of transformation, how did these come about, can Chinese food be conjured out of thin air?
Although Hermione was curious, Wang Yong didn't say anything, so she pretended not to know.
Of course, the two have experienced a lot during this time and have been together all the time, even Wang Yong has basically never met before.
Even at night, because the surroundings are too desolate, Wang Yong has to accompany him. But fortunately, this is the polar day, and there is no need for fluorescent flickering, otherwise it would be too shameful.
