Chapter Twenty-Eight: Saving Private Jack
"So, my mission is to save a meteorologist and his two friends!" Tom took off his police uniform and changed into casual clothes, looking at the young boy standing with Ning Yuan in front of him, Tom was a little surprised!
Ning Yuan nodded, "Yes, to be precise, it's to save the people who are with Sam's father, Jack." With a wave of his wand, three figures with 3D projections appeared in mid-air, none other than meteorologist Jack Hall and his two companions.
"What's so special about them?" Tom frowned, he really couldn't think of more people waiting for rescue in this world, but Ning Yuan chose these three people, if it was because of Sam, then every refugee here also had relatives in need of assistance.
"This is a revelation of fate, and all I can see is that one of these three will play an unimaginable role in this long ice age!" Ning Yuan said very godly that except for the rapid cooling in the storm and the cold weather, this movie is not a big danger to people with mortal strength, so he doesn't need bodyguards.
After thinking for a moment, Tom agreed to Ning Yuan's request, "Okay, but I don't know where these three people are, even if you say that these three people are coming this way?" ”
Stopping Sam, who wanted to say something, Ning Yuan waved his hand, "Hey brother, we have magic, don't let your materialistic worldview for more than thirty years shackle your thinking!" As he spoke, he pulled out a golden compass from the space.
Tom rolled his eyes, "A compass?" Are you sure you're not kidding, Claude! ”
Ning Yuan said: "This is not an ordinary compass, this is a magic prop that can be used to find people or corpses that are related to you?" ”
This was the magic compass that Dumbledore had borrowed from Nick Lemay, and it was with this thing that Regulus's body was quickly found.
"This is a gadget made by a great alchemist in his spare time, specially used to find people!" This guide is similar to the Weasley family's wall clock in the novel that shows what the family members are doing, where, and whether they are safe. According to Dumbledore, the compass was originally made by Nick for an old friend whose son had gone missing, but after making the zuò, his old friend had already found his son who died unexpectedly during the adventure. It wasn't until Dumbledore wanted to find Regulus that Nick found the compass in the storeroom, and then modified the magic compass so that it could find not only the living, but also the dead.
What Ning Yuan needs now is the function of finding living people.
After introducing Tom to the use of this compass, Ning Yuan asked Sam to contribute a little blood, and then turned on the magic compass according to the method taught by Dumbledore.
There was no conspicuous red light, but the compass turned and stopped in a certain direction.
"Just think about Sam's father's appearance and name, and this thing will point you in the general direction!" Ning Yuan said and took out a red woolen blanket that was large enough for four or five people to lie on it.
"What is this?" Tom felt a similar fluctuation of power on the blanket and on the compass.
"Have you seen Aladdin and the magic lamp? This thing is just like the flying carpet inside, it can take people flying! Ning Yuan explained with a smile and a stunned two.
It was popular in the UK for a while, but was later banned by the Ministry of Magic, which considered the Flying Carpet to be Muggle textiles.
While blankets and broomsticks were everyday items for wizards and Muggles, flying carpets required spells to be added to them, making it easy for Muggles to misuse them unknowingly. The broom making process is complicated and the user needs to take a class to master how to control it, as smart as Hermione couldn't make the broom fly into her hands after reading a lot of books before the first class, so it is relatively unlikely that the broom will be misused.
However, in other countries, such as Asia, where Quidditch was never widely used, the flying carpet was still the preferred mode of transportation for wizards, while broomsticks were rare. Ministries of Magic in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Iran all look at Quidditch with suspicion, so the flying carpet trade in these countries is thriving.
Compared to a broom with only a stick (although there is an invisible mat), Ning Yuan still prefers the flying carpet as a flying tool, thinking that during the flight, you don't have to keep a posture like riding a stick, you can sit, you can stand, you can lie down, you can have a picnic, read a book, and play cards with friends...... Coupled with the constant wind avoidance magic around the flying carpet, a proper magical version of the plane.
The most important thing is that as long as you know the password, even a stupid person can easily drive it without worrying about traffic accidents.
So even though he lives in the UK, where the use of flying carpets is banned, Ning Yuan still relies on Cromwell to buy this medium-sized flying carpet from the black market, in fact, Ning Yuan still has a car that is being modified by Nick Lemay, which is the car he booked for himself, but now there is no flying car with a flying carpet is not bad.
In addition to these things, Ning Yuan also gave Tom a double-sided mirror for communication, and in the acquired world where communication has basically stopped, he can only rely on magic to keep in touch in real time.
Soon, Tom took some miscellaneous things, and according to Ning Yuan's command, he controlled the flying carpet to fly south.
"Prophet, is it okay for Mr. Cullen to go out like this, if there is a storm, ......?" Sam had been worried when he heard that his father was coming to New York City in the snow.
Ning Yuan smiled and comforted: "No problem, the flying carpet can not only form an invisible air barrier to block the wind, but also has its own constant temperature magic array, so that the flying carpet does not have to be too high to make people freeze, plus I have a constant cold and heat preservation magic on Tom's clothes, as long as he avoids the eye of the storm and does not rush in, there will be basically no danger." ”
Even the Weasley twin brothers, who hadn't finished Hogwarts in the original books, were able to make robes with a constant defense spell, and Ning Yuan's clothes were attached to a long-term cold and warmth spell that was nothing.
Seeing what Sam wanted to say, Ning Yuan patted the other party's shoulder, "Okay, don't worry, under the protection of God, everything will be fine, go inside, everyone is going to wake up." ”
On the morning of a new day, the sky was still overcast, yesterday's torrential rain had stopped, goose feathers of snow poured from the sky to the earth in the fierce wind, the water that filled the streets of the city yesterday had been frozen, and the whole city seemed to have become twenty or thirty meters shorter overnight.
In the library, the people who had slept peacefully in the warm environment looked much better than yesterday, and at this time, some people had already woken up and were eating the bread, chocolate and mineral water that Ning Yuan had distributed yesterday.
At the same time, in the dead city, there are finally signs of life after the sun rises.
After a black homeless man returned from walking his dog, people were surprised to find that there were many survivors in the city besides themselves.
"Everyone, keep order, I'll go out and have a look, and if I can, I'll bring the survivors back, they are so blindly fleeing to the south that they can easily die in the storm!" Ning Yuan explained to everyone, then put on a coat and walked out of the library.
After passing through several buildings that had been buried by ice and snow for one or two floors, Ning Yuan took out his broomstick, then cast a neglect spell on himself, and began to fly towards the fleeing refugees the size of snow ants.
More than an hour later, he magically invited all the survivors he could search for in downtown New York back to the library.
When he returned to the library, there were already many survivors who were close to the library, and then Ning Yuan still stepped forward to assist in the hypnotic magic for a while, and by the time it was almost noon, there were more than three hundred survivors in the library.
Although there may be more survivors in the entire New York City, Ning Yuan understands that it will be difficult to completely find them one by one with his own strength, and there may be more people who will die after the eye of the storm falls! He is not a god and cannot save everyone, and he has done everything he can now.
Even if the Heart of Truth were to map out all the survivors of New York City, he alone would not be able to bring everyone back to the library before the eye of the storm hits.
In fact, these people have already packed the library now, and luckily there is a space expansion charm, so it can accommodate these people for the time being, but if there are more people, it will not be something he can solve.
Magic also has to follow certain rules, and it's not really omnipotent.
