Chapter 35: Left Hand Arvada, Right Hand RPG!
As the country with the largest number of guns in the world, the United States directly contributes 40% of the world's civilian guns with 4.4% of the world's population.
Therefore, the proliferation of guns is an absolute chronic disease of the Muggle world in the United States.
In the future, there will even be so-called shared guns, as long as you sweep it, you can rent a semi-automatic rifle, and if the Amazon credit score is more than 700, you can also get a deposit free.
Whether it's a free trip, a zero-dollar purchase, or going to the bank to withdraw money...... are extremely convenient.
But in contrast to the Muggle world, the Magical Congress of the United States has extremely strict control over wands, as if it has gone to the other extreme.
Any wizard who goes to the United States must apply for a wand permit, and if you have a criminal record, it is impossible to apply successfully.
When Newt escorted a Thunderbird to New York, his wand permit application failed, for the simple reason that his file clearly stated...... Expelled from Hogwarts.
Newt, who has no license and illegally possesses dangerous magical creatures, also meets the "warm-hearted" Tina in New York, and he is captured by Tina who never misses......
Mental and physical meaning!
Not only foreign wizards, but the control of wands in the American wizarding world will also start from the doll.
Underage wizards in other countries are forbidden to cast spells outside of school during holidays, but their wands will not be confiscated, and at most the Ministry of Magic will use traces for monitoring.
And the United States is even more straightforward, directly asking students to leave their magic wands in school during the holidays.
Even the little wizard's first wand was not purchased at the store by himself, but was distributed when he arrived at the Yinfamorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Of course, with the repeal of the Rappaport Law, the rule that wands stay in schools has disappeared completely, but it is still very strict in comparison.
Therefore, in the United States, where it is easier to get a gun than a magic wand, it is really not too much of a problem for little wizards to carry guns to protect themselves...... It can only be said that the United States has its own national conditions.
Rove didn't pay much attention to it, he played with the small pistol for a while, ready to listen to Margaery's suggestion to go to the field with her one day to practice marksmanship.
In these years, the dual cultivation of magic and marksmanship is the right way, and if you want to be full of martial virtues, you need to have Arvada in your left hand and RPG in your right hand, which is the combat form of modern wizards.
By this time, the pickup had already pulled into the famous Broadway Avenue, stopping not far from a towering building.
Rove got out of the car and looked at the Gothic-style ...... Woolworth Building.
The Woolworth Building, built in 1913, has a 30-story main building and a 30-story narrow tower on top of the main building...... Before its completion, it was the tallest building in the world.
For wizards, the Woolworths Building is also quite well-known, because the Magical Congress of the United States is also located here.
Rove was about to walk towards the building, but when he turned around, he found Margaery not moving, and the girl was pulling out a white note from her pocket and clipped it to the wiper of the pickup truck.
"What is this?" The boy asked curiously.
"No-Maj's ticket." Margaery smiled and said, "There is a time limit for parking here, and if you do it too long, you will be fined by the Maji traffic police."
"Can it still be like this?" Rove looked surprised and said, "Isn't there time on the ticket?"
"It's okay, there's magic on the ticket, and it will automatically change the time according to the date." Margaery said triumphantly:
"There's also the confusion spell I cast on it, and when they get close, they'll think they've been ticketed."
「……」
"Sister, I'm smart!" Margaery raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I'm going to mass produce it and sell it to other wizards, isn't it very interesting?"
Rove really narrowed his eyes and thought about it seriously, he shook his head and said:
"It sounds promising, but wizards use cars in the minority, and the potential market is too small."
"You don't have to worry about that, my little Brother."
Margaery reached out and put her arm around Rove's shoulder, and she squeezed it gently
Pinched the young man's tender face, and said with a smile: "I only lack two thousand Zhuo Pot's start-up capital, you sponsor me some, and earn our sister and brother...... Seventy-three points."
「……」
Unlike the United Kingdom, the name of the magic currency used in the United States is Zhuo Guo...... Two Zhuo pots can be exchanged for one gold Galleon.
Two thousand Zhuo pot is one thousand Galleons, which is not a large amount for the current Rove, but it is not a small amount of money that can be wasted at will.
Margaery obviously didn't plan to waste time producing that thing, she just proposed a project, and then painted a big pie, empty gloves white wolf, trying to cheat investors out of money!
Whoever believes in her is a troll!
"I don't have any money, and I won't invest in you if I have money!" Rove coldly refused, "I'm going to report you for escaping the ticket!"
"You know what!" Margaery snorted:
"Wizards have a vendetta against the Muggle government in the United States, and the Purges, in cooperation with them, have been hunting wizards...... Every time I pay a ticket, it can become a bullet from the Muggle army on a wizard!"
"......" makes so much sense that Rove is speechless.
The two men were noisy and walked towards the Woolworth building, where guards stood at the door, one of them, wearing a cape-like uniform, looking out of place for Muggles.
When the wizarding guards saw Margaery, they were surprised by her Muggle uniform, but immediately opened the door.
He knew this witch, after all, she was so beautiful, it was hard to forget.
But it was the first time he had seen a witch walking intimately with a boy, and it seemed that the Magic Congress was going to have a lot of single men who couldn't sleep comfortably tonight.
The wizard guard looked at the young man in front of him, and soon noticed that the two of them were actually cuffed together...... Hey, young people nowadays really know how to play.
Rove and Margaery stepped through the revolving door and into the building.
It was not Woolworth Lobby that caught your eye, but ...... The Hall of the Magical Congress of the United States.
It is a luxurious rectangular hall with a total of 17 vaulted floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the west wall. The east wall corresponds to 17 large glass mirrors made of 483 lenses.
Standing in the center of the hall, one can admire the lavishly decorated Congress Hall from different angles through a mirror.
On the vaulted ceiling, there is also a large oil painting of great artistic value, depicting the establishment of the Magic Congress and the original twelve Aurors.
In the middle of the hall, there is also a huge turntable located on a high place, with many gears and a disc with the inscription on the dial:
Magic Exposure Threat Level.
The pointer of the dial points to "slightly".
Behind the turntable hangs a large portrait of a gray-haired old man who looks to be older than Dumbledore, with age spots on his face:
Anderson S. D. Fischer
The current president of the Magical Congress.
Anderson S. D. Fischer is the oldest president in the history of the Magical Congress of the United States.
He has run for president three times in nearly half a century, and only five years ago he seized this last opportunity and was successfully elected president of the National Assembly at the age of 95.
However, Anderson, who is now 100 years old, is in very poor physical condition and is suspected of having symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Many wizards are skeptical that he will be able to survive the final two years of his term.
Owls flutter and hover in the hall, a group of wizards line up at the front desk, and many staff members receive them.
Margaery led Rove straight to the elevator, the door opened, and a fairy waitress stood inside.
"Auror Office." Margaery said softly.
"Yes, Miss Kowalski." The elf stabbed the elevator button above his head with a long stick with a claw.
The elevator ascended smoothly and silently to the top floor, and the elevator shaft began to narrow, several thick pillars contracted into a solid vertical passage.
When the door opened, Rove and Margaery walked out, down the aisle, and stopped in front of a door with a brass plaque on it:
Auror Office!
