Melda listened to Aragaki Yan's continuous narration of the magnificent scenery of Chang'an Taixue, and suddenly became deeply interested.
What kind of blessed land is it?
"After all, you are still a wizard from another country, and you still need the professors to vouch for it, so sit and wait first." Aragaki said with a smile.
He has already informed his teacher himself, and he believes that he will be over soon.
"Here, you can look at this."
Aragaki said as she handed Melda a thick stack of newspapers.
"I'm afraid you're bored."
"Oh! Thank you. ”
Melda reached out and took the newspaper, instantly drawn to the words.
It was an interview with an official of the Chinese Ministry of Magic by the International Association of Wizards.
It reads as follows:
We can't imagine that our companion Huaguo's Ministry of Magic did not strictly abide by the regulations of the Wizarding Secrecy Act. They had contact with local Muggles.
At Chang'an School of Magic, professors even encourage students to live and work in the mortal world.
They call this serious violation of the law WTO accession.
Aren't the magicians of Huaguo afraid of being discovered by mortals and causing trouble?
The official from the Ministry of Magic seemed unimpressed, and he smiled and told me a story.
Once, when he was looking for a certain precious herb in the Qinling Mountains. Having met a few mortals, who were working on his illumination at the time, it was clear that the Muggles had discovered this.
But the mortals weren't scared away. Instead, he warmly invited him to his house for a drink. It was clear that these Muggles regarded him as an immortal and wanted to accumulate good fortune.
At that time, he was also a little tired, so he simply followed these Muggles down the mountain, and after he was full of wine and food, under the strong plea of the Muggles, he made a fool of himself. Then he swaggered away.
Finally, the official from the Ministry of Magic smiled and said, "In China, these are all things that are taken for granted. ”

I'll go...
Melda looked at the newspaper report in amazement.
This is a far cry from what has always been the impression of the Ministry of Magic of China.
He was looking forward to it, what kind of excitement did this familiar and unfamiliar land have?
...
Melda didn't wait long, and after only a few minutes, a tall man in a Confucian robe approached.
"Aragaki Yan, where are our guests?" The man who came looked a little anxious.
"Teacher, here this is the contemporary heir of Estes, Mr. Melda Corris."
Wow! Yes, sir!
Melda happily stood up and greeted him, and said politely and kindly, "Hello, Professor. ”
"Oh! Hello. Friends from afar. You speak Chinese so well. Wang Wenshu said kindly.
"I think Aragaki has already invited you."
"Yes, I would be happy to go to Chang'an Taixue." Melda continued to humbly say, "It's just that I still have a companion..."
"Yes, Mr. Cecil!"
"Huh? Do you know him? Melda asked curiously.
Wang Wenshu whispered a few words to Aragaki Yan, and then said, "Of course, Mr. Cecil is a capable man, a magical beast in North America, a rare herb in South America, and an exotic magic in Africa. ”
"We have a long-term business relationship."
"Oh?!" Melda was a little surprised, she didn't expect Cecil's family to make the market so big!
"Don't worry about him, I've already told Aragaki to make arrangements."
"Thank you so much."
"No, to be exact, all of us will have dealings with the Cecil family because of the Estes family." Wang Wenshu's words are amazing, directly expressing the deep connection between Huaguo and the Estes family.
"Let's talk as we go." Wang Wenshu led the way and led Melda towards the depths of the Ministry of Magic.
"More than a thousand years ago, Mr. Accra visited several sages of Kunlunxu."
"Subtle magic, breathtaking theory. It has benefited the Chinese magic community a lot. ”
Well? His cheap ancestors had been to the far East?
Thinking about it, Melda felt a little stupid, that guy had lived for more than six hundred years.
If he lived to be more than 600 years old, he would be able to walk all over the world.
"A few of Kunlun Xu, um... In your Western parlance, it's called a prophet. ”
"They all want to meet Mr. Accra's heir."
"But?" Melda discovered that what Wang Wenshu had just said was logically flawed.
"The Estes family, which has lasted for thousands of years and has never been interrupted, what about the previous heirs?"
"Son, Kunlun Xu is much more mysterious than you think, they want to see the successor of Mr. Accra, not the heir of the Estes family." Wang Wenshu said mysteriously.
"Kunlun Void, Kunlun Void." Melda repeated these three words several times.
Kunlun knows that in Taoism, it is known as the place of "the land of all gods" and "the ancestor of all mountains".
Legend has it that it was established by the Queen Mother of the West.
But what role does it play in this land full of magical worlds?
...
"Kunlun Xu, it is the magic school of Huaguo." Wang Wenshu explained step by step: "In Huaguo, whether it is Chang'an Taixue, Chengtian Palace, or Jixia Xue Palace, they all belong to Kunlun Xu. ”
"It's kind of like your relationship between Hogwarts and Gryffindor."
"Oh! So there is only one magic academy in Huaguo? Melda said confusedly.
Think about the population of my country, is one school enough?
"No, to be precise, there are five magic academies in Huaguo."
"Although Chang'an Taixue, Chengtian Palace, and Jixia School Palace are all subordinate to Kunlunxu, they are all independent of each other, whether it is geographical location, school philosophy, or establishment time."
"In addition to these three, there is also the General Road Auxiliary Secretary in Yungui. It was a full-time academy dedicated to training employees of the Ministry of Magic. ”
"And the last Longmen Academy in the East China Sea."
"However, the latter two are inferior to Kunlun in terms of strength and scale."
Understood, Kunlun Xu is the Ministry of Education, and the others are local schools.
Melda thought so.
But, five magic academies, that's five magic academies! More than in all of Europe.
There are only four schools of magic in the whole of Europe, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United Kingdom, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, and the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Russia, and finally the Kordos Doris School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Russia.
However, in terms of territorial area, China is comparable to the whole of Europe.
Five magic schools make sense.
