Chapter 145: Magic Cruise
The basic image of a zombie is usually a stiff body, black and sharp nails, green fangs, hideous and terrifying, and pale skin; Can't speak human words, can only roar, hide in coffins, caves and other damp and dark places during the day, suck the yang energy of living people, but are afraid of sunlight, glutinous rice and flames, and often deal with zombies Maoshan Taoist priests, often use Maoshan spells to cast spells to subdue, and deal with zombies Dao has, opening light charms, copper money swords, Tai Chi gossip mirrors, etc.
For zombies, Aia Goston became very interested and deliberately went to Xiangxichen's house to communicate. This exchange found that there are really a lot of sects in Huaxia that control zombies, mainly from the Maoshan faction of Taoism, and have developed many branches for more than a thousand years, the most vigorous of which is the Xiangxi Chen family.
The Chen family naturally won't reveal the foundation of their foothold to the foreign devil Aiagos, but they are also willing to communicate about how to drive away zombies and cooperate with the battle. Of course, Aiagos also took out his skeleton to demonstrate to the other party, and the Chen family was also amazed, and they couldn't understand how this skeleton shelf could not be dispersed and be so flexible. After some exchanges between the two sides, both sides have benefited a lot.
Since then, they have established long-term bonds, exchanging materials and spells, and the relationship has gradually become closer.
This time, Charon passed the necromancer family test, and Aiagos also wrote a letter to inform the Chen family of the good news, and the other party came with an invitation letter, sincerely inviting Aiagos and Charon to be guests, and Aiagos naturally readily agreed. In addition, Charon promised Hagrid the golden silk cow, which Aiagos bought at Chen's house, and took it back together this time.
Charon told his father about inviting Hermione, and of course he had no choice. When the mother heard that Charon had invited the girls to travel with her, she immediately became gossipy and began to make a fussy noise, which annoyed Charon.
Charon returned home, and after only a week or two of leisurely days, he was urged to set off by his father, Aiagos. Charon had to write a letter to Hermione, inviting her to come with her, and sent Xiao Hei to send it over.
Hermione's reply was not long in coming, and as expected, she convinced her parents to agree to let her go with her.
The day before departure, his father, Ayagos, took Charon and drove to pick up Hermione in his own car, dressed like a Muggle.
Hermione's parents were slightly surprised to see Ayagoth and Charon dressed as Muggles, they thought that the two of them would suddenly come in some strange way, but they did not expect them to use the most ordinary way of driving.
Seeing their thoughts, Aiagos couldn't help but laugh, explaining to the other party that he was not the kind of legendary Dead House Mage, that he also had an identity and contacts in Muggle society, and that he was also very interested in Muggle biomedicine, had some research, and even had a degree from Cambridge University Medical School.
Hermione's parents were much more relaxed when they heard Aiagoth say this. The two fathers talked about medical matters, and although one was a Muggle dentist and the other a necromancer, they were also quite speculative.
Hermione struggled to pull out a large suitcase, and Charon knew at a glance that it must be basically full of books. Sure enough, without waiting for him to speak, Hermione happily said that she had bought a lot of oriental books, such as "Learning Chinese from Scratch", "Chinese Travel Guide", "Chinese Food and Drink", "Chinese Customs and Evolution" and so on. Charon wanted to say that most of these things were useless, but in terms of his fact that he had never been to Huaxia, it was obviously not convincing at all, so he had to dismiss this idea.
In this way, the group of four quickly set off. The Charon family travels with their children, and their parents naturally put fun first.
Regardless, the journey is always enjoyable, especially at the beginning of the journey, when everyone pulls up the bags they have already packed and embarks on the journey happily.
There are many ways to get to China from England, Muggles naturally take a plane, and there are very few people who think of taking a boat, after all, it is too far and time-consuming to go by boat.
But for the wizarding world, flying to Greece is an incredible thing. According to Lisa's words, it was horrible to give your life to that Muggle tin box!
Aiagos naturally has this idea, and he also follows the wizard's habitual thinking, everyone takes a magic cruise ship to China!
Charon didn't care about this novel way of traveling, he was just a little worried about whether it would be too slow. Before he could get the questions out of his mind, Hermione was already muttering a lot of words excitedly.
"Wow! Magic Cruise! I've never been on a magic cruise. However, I heard that the magic cruise ship sails very steadily and extremely fast, and it is also the preferred way for wizards to travel from Europe to the New World, but I didn't expect that there would be a route to the East. Is it true that I saw in books that the fastest magic cruise ship departs from London, England to New York, USA in just one day? ”
"Of course it's true," said his father Aiagos with a smile, "the magic route from England to China is a new addition, and after many rounds of negotiations between the two sides, it has only recently opened. In the past, it was necessary to go to India first. It only takes one day for our magic cruise to arrive in Huaxia. ”
"I wish it was faster!" Mother Lisa muttered, "I don't want to have lunch on a magic cruise, even though it's free." This free meal is very unpalatable! ”
"Alright then!" Father Aiya Gosner admonished, "Then let's endure a little, eat some snacks on the boat to satisfy our hunger, and find a Chinese food restaurant after getting off the boat, and have a good meal!" ”
The group used Floo powder to come to a dilapidated building, and they got out of the building's public fireplace, where there were more than a dozen fireplaces, and people kept getting in and out of the fireplace. Father Aiagos pulled everyone away from the fireplace quickly, not blocking the tourists behind.
Neither Charon nor Hermione had ever been here, except for her mother, Lisa, who had left here on a trip to Egypt last year. She introduced the three of them with ease, "This is the British East Customs, as long as you go abroad by boat to the east, you will pass through here." There is also a Western Customs, which goes there to the New World. ”
Led by Aiagos, everyone followed the crowded flow of people to a spacious immigration hall. There is already a long queue here, and there is no end in sight.
Everyone hurriedly lined up, and then endured the snail-like speed and slowly advanced. Mother Lisa complained as she moved slowly, "When did there be so many people in this place?" I remember a few years ago there weren't so many people. ”
Aiagos smiled and comforted: "I'm sorry, Lisa, it's summer vacation, the peak season for family travel. Students rarely have a vacation, so naturally they have to go out for a walk. It's okay today, I've seen it before, it's more congested than this. ”
Everyone was patient, and finally it was their turn. The customs officer took one more look and recognized Aiagos, and immediately became a little flustered, and lowered his head and worked honestly!
Although the customs officer did not dare to raise his head, he still said mechanically and diligently, "You are welcome to enter and exit through this customs, and if you have any questions, you can tell us directly, and we will serve you wholeheartedly!" ”
He shouted slogans in his mouth, and his hands were fast, and he gave everyone's passports with a snap, and after a routine and casual check, he informed them that they could pass.
After Aiagos and his party passed, he wiped the cold sweat from his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Oh my God! It's so unlucky! Merlin bless me safely! ”
After passing through the customs, out of the gate, there is a busy wharf scene in front of me, a row of ships of different sizes can not see the edge, passengers on and off the ship are bustling, shouting and frolicking, endlessly, making people dizzy. Of course, if a Muggle had come here, all he saw was a deserted beach in the middle of nowhere.
"Silver Star Cruise, 9:50 p.m., No. 18 Ship." Father Aiagos looked at the ticket and said something in his mouth, "Alright, it's not too early, let's hurry over!" ”
Under his leadership, the group dragged their luggage through the bustling crowd with difficulty, and finally came to the No. 18 ship. It was not early, and more than half of the people on the ship were already in place. Everyone didn't care about looking around, and hurriedly climbed the stairs. Fortunately, his father, Aiagos, had plenty of money and bought a first-class ticket for everyone, which was on the upper deck of the cabin, and the flow of people was relatively less crowded. Everyone finally took a breath, found their place, and sat down.
After less than 10 minutes of rest, only a loud and long whistle was heard, and the cruise ship retracted its anchor and began to start slowly. The two little ones immediately couldn't sit still, and Charon ran to the deck with Hermione, holding on to the side of the boat, jumping and jumping at the crowd below, waving desperately.
"Who are we waving to?" Hermione waved twice, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, and asked, "There is no one to send us underneath!" ”
"Hahaha!" Charon laughed and said, "It's just to feel the atmosphere, what does it matter if there is a farewell person or not?" ”
Not long after the ship left port, it began to magically accelerate, and it became thin and long, like a sharp arrow sweeping straight across the sea, almost flying on the surface of the sea. Occasionally passing by a Muggle ship, they seemed unaware of the passing guy, and it seemed that the ship must have a Muggle shield.
The magic cruise ship "flew" extremely fast, and before Charon's pack of Hopping Frog chocolate snacks could be eaten, the ship had already crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean. It seems that it will take another eight or nine and a half hours at most to reach Huaxia, and we will be able to reach Huaxia before twelve o'clock at night.
Things didn't go as smoothly as Charon thought, and the cruise ship crossed the Suez Canal very slowly, taking a full hour. This frustrated Charon's desire to arrive in China ahead of schedule.
