Chapter 503: Dissuasion to Retire (Monthly Pass 1,700 Plus Change)
"Paul Carter, I'm from Malta. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" A tall, white and thin boy stretched out his hand to Zhao Mai, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Senior Mike." β
"Fortunately. Zhao Mai smiled and shook hands with him. Paul was none other than the student who had rushed into the teleportation array during the previous round. Zhao Mai remembers that he was in great pain and that he did not seem to have seen this man in Atlantis.
He looked at Dumbledore in the crowd, and the professor shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know. Professor Dumbledore is said to have been stalking with the Ministry of Magic, hoping to join the Ministry of Magic's jury on his way to Atlante. He was indeed approached for the position, and he pushed it to Principal Dippert. Later, due to health reasons, Headmaster Duppert relinquished this function to Witt Fergus as an act to support his candidacy for Minister of Magic and increase his popularity. One can imagine how troublesome it would be for Dumbledore to get the position back.
So he failed and once again stood among the students and teachers to see them off. It was also because of Dumbledore's actions that Headmaster Duppet felt disgraced, and the relationship between the two began to become strained. Principal Dippert was indignant, 'Oh, you recommended me, and I'm very sorry. But as soon as I gave up my spot, you started fighting back, what does that mean?'
"I'm really nervous to meet wizards from other countries this time!" Jeff from India is an idle man, with a smile on his brown face, but he doesn't show any nervousness. He wears a large number of ornaments around his neck, and according to his introduction, these gods of different appearances have come to bless him. "I will definitely win glory for the country!"
That's right, too. Malta and India are now British colonies, and it is not uncommon for them to call themselves Commonwealthers. The only awkward one is Zhao Mai, a mysterious man from China who broke the tranquility of Hogwarts and caused a headache for the British Ministry of Magic.
Witt Fergus wore a long trench coat and held a black cane with an ivory grip in his hand, believing that his wand was hidden inside. He was a haughty pure-blood wizard, his pale blonde hair combed back meticulously, and a pair of pale blue eyes on the bridge of his hooked nose always shone with the essence of trying to see through the minds of others. He doesn't have a good impression of the three contestants, but he doesn't make any outrageous moves in front of the public. He and a young journalist from the Daily Prophet named Farover were part of the entourage of the three contestants. The young reporter had a pencil and notebook in his hand, but he had not asked questions or interviewed, and seemed to have no interest in his work. This is undoubtedly a strange team.
The phone vibrated and I glanced down, and the message displayed was "Atlantis has sent out an offer to pick up the station, taking four passengers from Hogwarts to Atlantis at an estimated cost of 2 gold coins." "At least it's not garbled to Atlantis this time, it's good news." In order to avoid further twists and turns, Zhao Mai ignored the list and put the phone back in his pocket.
The teleportation pillar lit up, and this time Paul Carter was inside the pillar of light, so no one tried to rush in. Zhao Mai only had a few experiences of being teleported, and after his strength grew, it seemed to be becoming more and more difficult to teleport him. Recently, when he crossed the stargate, he felt obvious resistance, as if if he resisted hard, the teleportation process would be forcibly terminated. In particular, the stargate is teleported by disassembling particles and combining them, if it weren't for Zhao Mai's "nod in agreement", let alone "Theγ»Che", even he himself would not be able to be teleported by it.
He was still worried that he wouldn't be able to be teleported, but he found that he had reached his destination. In other words, Atlantis' teleportation mechanism is different from Stargate, and it seems to be more "polite" and "harmless". Zhao Mai didn't feel the impact of teleportation on himself, so what should change was the overall spatial coordinates around him.
The group stopped on a circular platform the size of half a basketball court, with a layer of hard glass under their feet. A large number of magic runes could be seen through the glass, and many characters Zhao Mai had also seen for the first time, and they had completed their teleportation and gradually dimmed.
Beneath the platform is a long stone path with slender mosaics depicting the protracted war and glorious victory of the "gods" and the "sea monsters". At the end of the stone pavement is a glorious city, with pointed spindle-shaped houses of different sizes, completely unaffected by gravity, all floating in mid-air, constantly changing positions, moving fast and slow, crisscrossing and crisscrossing each other, looking chaotic, but not colliding with each other at all. They generally move around a blue tower with a lower circle and a pointed top, and the blue tower reaches into the sky, nearly two thousand meters high.
Zhao Mai estimated that the thickest base of the tower must be the size of thirty football fields, and the thinnest top was only the tip of a needle. Continuing to look upward, a transparent force field enveloped the entire Atlantis, and the outside was pitch black water.
"Atlantis' motto is that magic is a double-edged sword that, if we are not careful, can puncture the bubble of our existence. "It was a god of lights who spoke, that is, a creature whose skin was completely blue, whose lower body was hidden in the clouds, and who could fulfill three wishes. "My name is Solam, Archmage of Atlantis, and welcome to all of you at Hogwarts. Please come with me to the venue, where the teleportation will be going to take place soon. β
"Thank you. Werther Fergus raised his cane slightly, saluting. The blue Soram shook all over, and in a burst of lightning, another Soram separated. The separated Solam remained where he was, and the other Soram made a gesture of invitation and walked onto the stone path leading to the city.
Everyone followed him, looking around with curious eyes. Zhao Mai connected with the local natural force and found that it was quite harmonious. Again, the Force of Nature flows in a very free state, not the rigid and artificially modified state of Hogwarts. The whole city is as if it were alive, exchanging energy and matter with each other by breathing and the marine environment that envelops it.
Zhao Mai was about to explore the natural force when Mr. Fergus leaned in. "Mike, do you have any expectations for this competition?"
"Hmm, I think everyone who participated was here to win, and that was already in mind when everyone threw their names into the Goblet of Fire. β
"Give up when you're sick, I can compensate you. As for your replacement, it's Faravor. Fergus's words were very unexpected by Zhao Mai. He added, "It's for Hogwarts' sake, and it's good for you. β
"It can't be. Zhao Mai shook his head: "You made a mistake." β
"Think about it. I know this tournament is going to be dangerous, and the final prize isn't worth the risk, so you might as well say yes. "You can visit Atlantis during this time and learn the magic here, which is much more fun than going to the races," Fergus said. This contest ended up being a battle of faces, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made such a persuasion. β
Zhao Mai thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I understand that what you said is the truth, but I still have to compete." β
Fergus snorted from his nostrils, no longer struggling to persuade.
