Chapter 18: The Mysterious Circus
From Carlos, Rove took a nautical chart and a nautical diary...... It's not the original, though, it's a replica that uses the Copy Charm.
Rove didn't dare bring the original, after all, Captain Carlos was very convincing, and he was also afraid of being entangled by the curse of the ghost ship.
In the wizarding world, you can't believe in evil, and those Defence Against the Dark Arts professors who have followed each other have fallen to Tom's curse because they are too strong-headed...... Yin Jian is not far away.
Carlos also threw all the contents of the ghost ship back into the sea in front of the teenager.
As if to confirm his words, the storm ceased the next day...... It's so evil!
Now that the weather had cleared, the rain had stopped, and the sun had jumped out of the clouds, the Mayflower set sail again for the harbor of Bilbao.
Located in the north of Spain, on the southeastern side of the Bay of Biscay, Bilbao is a busy port city.
The most famous place here, apart from Athletic Bilbao FC in La Liga, is probably the famous Guggenheim Museum.
The Guggenheim Museum, one of the world's most famous private museums of modern art, is also a global art venue operated as a chain.
In addition to New York, there are branches in Bilbao in Spain, Venice in Italy, and Berlin in Germany.
In the English textbook of Rove's previous high school, this museum was mentioned, and he was impressed...... Of course, at this point in time, the Bilbao branch library has not yet been built.
The Mayflower ends up docked at a wizarding shipyard where deck repairs need to be made, and passengers have a full day to splurge freely.
Rove wanted to stay in his room and study the charts, but was dragged away by the Fleur sisters, who disembarked with the family and headed for Bilbao.
Rov saved Gabrielle twice, and the Delacours were so grateful to him that they treated him like their own son.
Let's not talk about free eating, drinking and having fun, even his box is carried by Fleur, for fear of tiring his arms, this scene stunned the girl...... For the first time in her life, she was treated like this!
While shopping, Rove glanced at the flying broomstick, a specialty of Spanish craftsmanship, and Mr. Delacour was about to buy it without saying a word, but was hurriedly stopped by the teenager.
We're not a big dog like Blake, no matter how rich we are, we can't burn like this!
Madame Dracule also took Rove around the clothing store, and in her words, a boy could not dress so modestly...... Be rich!
Seeing that Rove seemed to like Quidditch, Mr. Delacour also bought tickets and took everyone to see a match in the Spanish Quidditch Cup.
But the result was a big surprise, and it directly broke out a shocking upset.
The professional Athletic Bilbao Quidditch team was eliminated by an amateur Quidditch team at home and stopped in the round of 32 of the Quie Confederation Cup...... I can only say that I don't want my face.
But this is also normal, after all, the Spanish Quidditch team did not even make it to the Quidditch World Cup in England next year.
The good news is that although the national team did not enter, it is said that there is a lot of sponsorship, which can be regarded as an alternative sense of participation.
In the evening, they returned to the Mayflower, by which time the deck had been repaired, the broken mast had been replaced, and the defensive magic had been reinforced.
Captain Carlos was very happy, his "wife" was ravaged by the Cablosaurus, and now it is equivalent to completing the "xx repair surgery...... It's clean again.
Carlos also took a group of crew members and stood on the Salvi Bridge to pray to the Grim Reaper that they would not be entangled in their Mayflower again.
It is a Bilbao custom in which sailors passing by the NerviΓ³n River pray for the safe return of the god of death.
And the name of that bridge, "Salvi", literally means "I wish you good health" in Spanish.
Carlos also went to the fish market to buy a lot of Atlantic baby fish, and let the sailors release them all into the Nervion River.
The baby fish, also known as salmon, is a kind of deep-sea fish, and is also a kind of migratory fish in the Shuo River, which will spawn in the streams and rivers in the upper reaches of the Shushui River, and then return to the ocean to fatten after laying.
Therefore, there is no problem in releasing marine fish into the river.
However, Carlos also released the whole set of Shengjide, which made Rove a little dumbfounded.
He didn't pay so much attention to it, especially when he saw those half-meter-long baby fish, shining red in the sun, jumping out of the water one after another...... Rove was greedy for a while.
If he doesn't fish, he doesn't deserve to be called an old fisherman!
So, Rove took Fleur and Gabrielle and sat by the river to fish.
Carlos put it on the side, and the three of Rove grabbed it at the same time.
Fleur was still a little reserved, and she was embarrassed to be so shameless, but Gabrielle had a good time, clutching the fishing net tightly with both hands, and kept catching fish.
She had recently learned to fish with Rove, but with the same rods, hooks, lines, and bait, she couldn't catch any fish in the sea, and sometimes she stayed up all afternoon without a single harvest.
And Rove's basket is full of fish!
Gabrielle had always dreamed that she would one day catch a fish, and this time she had caught seven or eight big fish in a row with a net, and the little girl's little face was full of happiness.
Carlos turned his head to see this scene, and was so angry that he rushed off the bridge and said angrily: "Hey, you kid did it on purpose, right? β
"You accumulate your virtue, I catch my fish, and we don't conflict with each other." Rove said with a smile. "Otherwise, if you spend any more money to buy and release the animals from me, I will never fish."
ββ¦β¦β
"But I really didn't expect that, you still believe this?" There's something strange about Rove.
"I don't understand, teach you to be a good boy, boy." Carlos sat next to Rove and whispered:
"For this kind of thing, you put a few more, a few less, anyway, you can release them, and you can't check the quantity, but you can report more when you report the account."
...... "If you say this, I'm afraid that ten years of merit will have to be deducted!"
Rove suddenly grabbed the rod and pulled it back so hard that he felt the hooked baby fish shake in the water, and then he shook it up and threw one fish to the ground.
The baby fish lies on the ground, looking very strong in the sun, and its streamlined body is like a bullet. Its eyes are large, glazed, and its tail flapps quickly against the plank, giving vent to its last vitality.
Out of "kindness", Carlos knocked the fish on the head, knocked it unconscious, and then kicked it into the basket.
"Rove, I'll tell you...... I also bought an expensive shark, go to my room tonight, try it? Carlos smiled.
Rove raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said with a smile: "By the way, the group of passengers who got off the ship and left, all the luggage was checked, right?" β
"It's all carefully checked, and there is basically no problem." Carlos lowered his voice.
He knew that Rove was still investigating the reason why the Cabloon was out of control, which was what he admired the most about the boy, brave and bold, but also cautious and careful.
"There's one thing I have to tell you." Carlos reminded: "There is a special passenger on the Mayflower today. β
Rove raised his eyebrows and said, "What passengers?" β
"Mystery Circus!"
