Chapter 178: The Train

The buildings in the imperial capital are very dense, so the lanes are very narrow, and the sunlight does not shine here all year round, so it is dark and damp.

It's half past ten in the morning, and the sun is just right, but the sun hasn't bottomed out before it is held up by the eaves.

"Here. Where is it? Catherine muttered softly.

Before she could come back to her senses, the voices of the others were confused from one side.

"When did the alleys of Provence become so narrow?"

"Provence? Is it the Provence of West France? ”

"yes, or not?"

"We're from Ludiham."

"Aloe Hamm, where is that?"

"Germany."

"German !?"

Listening to the chatter of the people around them, these people were surprised to find that these colleagues around them came from all over the world, not one place.

And some are even thousands of miles away from themselves.

And according to them, they all entered the tavern locally, and not from the rest.

This amazed them.

"And where is this?" Catherine asked.

"Imperial Capital."

Led by Ebb said.

"This is the alleyway of the royal capital of Britannia."

"The imperial capital of Britannia."

Martha muttered softly, apparently hearing Abs, too.

She couldn't help but look at Russell.

"Isn't this almost 10,000 kilometers from our Bergen?"

Russell was silent, speechless, just looking around with a kind of self-doubting surprise.

The crowd walked through the narrow alleyway, and soon came to a fairly empty area, but not a street, but a small open space to which many lanes lead, surrounded by houses, and still had some sense of closure.

Stone bricks are paved all over the place, but there is a boxy pool in the middle, the length and width are about two meters, the pool is not deep, only a few tens of centimeters, the water is very clear, you can clearly see the stones at the bottom of the pool.

In the middle of the pool is a deep hole about ten centimeters in diameter, pitch black with no end in sight, and it is actually a well, but there is no fence.

It is the main source of water for the people in this vicinity.

"Jump down here and you'll be on to the next place." Seymler said to the men behind him.

Catherine thought she had misheard for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Jump down?" ”

Seymler looked at Abs, who had Dumbledore's knowledge of magic in his head, so he was obviously familiar with this kind of spatial magic.

Almost without any hesitation, he jumped directly into the pool under the horrified eyes of the people around him.

However, the expected splashing scene did not appear, and he was like a top diver who went straight into the water without making a wave.

In the crystal clear water, there was no trace of him, as if he had been swallowed by the pool.

Gayward also realized something, and jumped in after him, and disappeared into the water like Abs had just done.

Seeing this magical scene, everyone realized that there seemed to be some kind of magic on the surface of this pool, leading to some magical place.

"You can throw your luggage in first." "Don't worry, it won't get wet," Semmelle reminded. ”

Catherine came to her senses, and then motioned for Haron to throw all her luggage into the pool, and then she jumped in with the children she had brought, and finally Haron.

Helen and her grandfather followed, followed by the rest of the family.

Gradually, it soon became the turn of the Russell family at the end.

Seymler looked at Russell, "So, are you going in?" ”

Russell looked at Semerle, and then at the pool, which was two meters wide and dozens of centimeters deep, and had already entered dozens of people, enough to fill the pool several times, but at the moment the pool was empty.

These people, Russell watched them jump in with his own eyes, again and again.

If these are fake, then this person's counterfeiting technology can already be said to be the pinnacle, and there is no need to deceive ordinary people like them at all, if they have this ability, they can be treated as a guest of honor by finding an emperor at any time and enjoy countless glory and wealth.

Before Russell could speak, his child had already broken free, and he jumped straight into the pool.

"Huh! Martin! Martha, shouting her child's name, jumped in.

Seeing this, Russell also had a heartbreak and jumped down with Martha.

He subconsciously held his breath when his face was about to sink into the water, but the expected feeling of being swallowed by the water did not come.

He felt like he was jumping into a void of nothingness, and in the brief darkness he felt like he was stepping on a field.

The sudden shift from weightlessness to the ground caused him to stagger a few steps and nearly fall to the ground.

But when he came back to his senses, what unfolded before his eyes was a completely unfamiliar realm.

It is a train platform, all made of red brick, and the vault above is designed in a cathedral style.

But the most striking thing is a Victorian-fashioned crimson steam locomotive parked next to the platform.

The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts, sixteen o'clock.

The surrounding scenes, coupled with the way they entered, gave the Russell family a sense of time travel.

There were no trains in this era, so it seemed to people that it was an elongated version of a super carriage.

They looked at the station with a look of surprise, with different expressions on their faces, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching the east and looking at the west.

The Russell family also saw the goblins that Martin had called, knee-high and dressed in green, beckoning people to get into the car and helping them put their luggage in the right place.

One of the leprechauns noticed their presence and walked over.

"Sir, please come with us."

Russell reacted, "Can we go up too?" ”

The goblin nodded, "The guardian is allowed to send the children to school, and you can enjoy a dinner party in the school or even stay for one night and leave." ”

In principle, parents are not allowed to enter the school.

However, considering that this is the first year, and almost all of them are non-magical families, it is a good choice to let them go to the school as well to give them peace of mind, and this is the opinion that Alicia put forward.

The first few carriages were already full, and there were children playing in the corridors, and the whole train was basically filled with teenagers, and the chatter was very noisy.

The Russell family had never seen such a large carriage on which a person could run.

They randomly found an unmanned private room to sit in, the seat and backrest were very comfortable, this was just this private room, it was more space than ordinary carriages.

The carriage departed at four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still quite a few people who had not arrived, and it was not even eleven o'clock yet, so there was a lot of waiting.

But fortunately, there are some elves on the train pushing carts to sell food, drinks, melons and fruits, and also provide book rental services.

And all currencies are common, and fortunately Russell and his wife have a habit of carrying cash, and the things sold on the train are not too expensive.

Little Martin was obviously a little uncomfortable, and he also participated in the children's fighting.

In a brief silence, Martha silently spoke, "I don't think there should be any liar who makes such a big deal to deceive people." ”

Russell let out a heavy breath and touched a book he had just rented on the train called "History of British Magic".

This book was copied by Char from the library in the Fairy Country, and focuses on the history of magic in Britain more than a thousand years ago, as well as some druid legends and stories.

"Magic," he murmured.

Helen was also a little excited, and she looked at the two young men sitting across from them.

"Hello, my name is Helen, what's your name?"

Gayward didn't speak, but Ebb had a warm smile on his face.

"Abb Dumbledore, your classmate and assistant teacher at Hogwarts."

Helen thought for a moment and asked with some curiosity, "What do you mean by teaching assistant?" ”

"Assist teachers in teaching, and at the same time, they can also be responsible for teaching." Ebb said.

Hearing this, Gayward seemed to think of something and looked at Abs.

"Responsible for teaching." Helen thought for a moment and opened her mouth, "That is, you know how to enchant?" ”

"I don't have a wand on my hand right now, but I can do it with some simple magic." Ebb said.

He looked at Hyde, who was sitting beside Helen, and raised his hand to the pair of tape and bandages he was wearing, and chanted a spell.

Under the wide open eyes of Gayward and Helen, the bandages and tape on the glasses unexpectedly fell off automatically, and the glasses damaged by the Syrian war returned to their original appearance in the blink of an eye.

This was their real magic, and there was silence in the carriage for a while.

However, in Gaiward's eyes, a spark burst out in an instant.

Reading time always flies, and as time passes, the rest of the students and parents are on the train in waves.

In fact, there were not many students in the first phase, but there were more words from parents, and the train gradually became a little noisy.

It seems that there are a lot of people, and Martin, who has been playing crazy, has returned to his box, but even so, he is still very curious about everything.

He looked around, even sticking his head out the window to look at the entire train.

For him, everything around this is new.

"Dad, how many horses do you need to pull such a big carriage?" Martin said.

Russell silently closed the book, frowned, and began to really calculate how many horses he needed.

But the next moment.

Honk!!

The long whistle pulled him out of his thoughts, and the train slid out of the station with a gush of steam.

Russell then got up and looked through the window at the front of the car.

The locomotive spewed thick soot, driving all the carriages behind it on the tracks, completely without any horses.

The train soon left the station and entered a primeval forest.

The trees were tall and dense, and many birds and beasts were running around, looking at the train curiously.

And the people on the train were also looking at them with curiosity.

"Grandpa, this carriage can move on its own without a horse!"

In another private room, Helen shouted excitedly, she wanted to lean out of the window to take a look, but her grandfather pulled her in because it was too dangerous.

But compared to her, her grandfather was not much better, very reserved, as a farmer who had never been out of the Alps a few times in his life, all these experiences were impacting his worldview.

Suddenly, Helen seemed to see something, and her eyes widened violently.

"Look, the car is going to crash into the sea!"

Hearing this, everyone in this box couldn't help but see the distance through the window.

The rest of the people in the box apparently saw it as well.

At the end of the forest, at the end of the track, is an endless blue sea.

That track went straight into the sea

But the speed of the train did not slow down in the slightest.

The air whistle sounded, steam gushed, and the train crashed into the sea amid the frightened and excited screams of a carload of children.

But at that moment, the train jerked its head up and flew towards the sky at an oblique angle!
