Chapter 263 Immortals and gods are delusional, the traveler would rather have a kind!

A mashed potato with milk and butter exudes a hot aroma, and the golden corn kernels dotted on it are soft and sweet.

The triangular toast fried with butter is sandwiched with a piece of bacon exuding the smoky smell of fruit wood. The refreshing lettuce and the crispy toast will make a duet of 'click' when bitten down, and the sweet and sour taste bursts from the lips and teeth The jam dispels the little greasiness and makes the meaty fragrance overflow.

Exquisite breakfasts filled the tables, and Toby brought them the best gift for the new day.

The full dishes only persisted for 10 minutes before being swept away. The satisfied people leaning on the back of the chair let out a sigh of relief, then tilted their heads and looked at the end of the table—— The man buried in the mountain of meat.

For an animal that can casually eat an ordinary family, exquisiteness is of course good, but more importantly, it is delicious and heavy.

Ron, who had almost eaten a normal person's two-day serving of barbecue steak, wiped his mouth and covered a loud belch.

"Eight full, healthy eating is very important." Ron glanced at the few people who were a little stuffed, "You are very unhealthy, eating so full in the morning is not good for your health."

However, a burst of blank stares was given to this idiot, and the sum of them did not eat as much as Ron in one meal.

However, Ron, who was as thick as a wall, just smiled, and he spoke to Dumbledore.

"Professor, are we here already?"

"Not yet, it will probably take more than ten minutes. Our schedule this time is not tight, and we need to cross the airspace of many countries, so our speed will be slower, but why not take a look at the scenery outside?"

Dumbledore waved his hand, and there were a few more floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, as if growing out of the wall.

The thick white mist was the cover of the clouds, and the Lionheart, which had lowered a little, fell into the clouds. There was no need to worry too much about being seen by Muggles. The magic of invisibility made this striking griffin-headed winged beast hide its figure.

In front of them is an endless mountain range. The white snow makes people feel happy just looking at it in this summer. The bleak cold wind cannot blow into this hall. They enjoy the beautiful scenery below and follow the continuous advancement of the Lionheart. , they came to the sky near the mountains.

"Get ready, we need to register for entry later, but as the participating warriors, your information has been recorded, and there will be someone to receive us at the gate."

"Where have we been?"

"Don't be impatient, you'll know when it goes on." Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand. Under his control, the Lionheart began to lower its height, and soon came to the flat ground.

As soon as they stepped out of the Lionheart on the steps condensed by flames, a wave of magic power that cannot be ignored appeared in their perception.

But there was nothing in front of it. It was a flat open space. Dumbledore didn't explain too much. He led the five of them to the front, but after only walking 50 meters, they broke into a thin layer of land. in the water curtain.

In an instant, the scene in front of him changed.

A huge portal with a height of nearly a thousand feet crashed into their eyes. This portal built of pure white marble seemed to be connected to the mountains behind them. Although it was hundreds of feet away, the shock did not weaken at all.

Perhaps they came earlier, and there were no other pedestrians on the road leading to the towering gate, but the empty scene highlighted the grandeur of the gate.

As the line of sight continued to rise, several square characters hung on the upper part of the huge door.

"This is one of the four major gates to enter China, the West Gate Gate."

Dumbledore explained to them here.

"Unlike most wizarding countries, they built an unimaginable border wall along the edge of the vast land. This miracle, which took hundreds of years to build, almost blocked any lawbreakers who wanted to smuggle in. Tianmenguan is the place where entry must pass.”

"But that was in the past. With the advancement of Muggle technology, many wizards will choose ships, trains, and airplanes that are more comfortable than traditional transportation methods such as Floo powder, portkeys, apparition, and flying broomsticks." This kind of Muggle mode of transportation is slower, but more comfortable."

"Under normal circumstances, you only need to report in advance, and then do the immigration registration after landing, but this time we came on the Lionheart, so we need to be more formal. Flying over the airspace without authorization is likely to be shot down."

"Then what if some wizards don't report after entering?" Seid asked with some doubts, "There must be some people who don't obey the rules, right?"

"The moment you cross the Great Wall at the border, you will leave a magic imprint on your body. Believe me, when you receive a fine and expulsion, you will never feel happy."

"Okay, let's go, we will officially enter China after passing the gate of heaven." Dumbledore waved to them, "Ron, don't be dazed."

"Oh, okay!"

Ron, who had been staring at the huge portal, suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, Ron quickly stepped forward in two quick steps.

The little dumpling in Hermione's arms writhed happily, and the familiar atmosphere here made him feel inexplicably close.

This huge gate made of marble is also a magic gate. After passing through it along the flat road, an ancient city suddenly appears. Compared with the empty Tianmenguan entrance, it is much more lively here. The border fortress serves as the entry and exit gate , is actually a transit market. Although it is very early, most merchants have already opened their stores.

Looking in from the huge city gate, wizards in various costumes came from different countries. They bargained loudly with the shopkeepers here, which was a lively scene.

Just as they cast their eyes on the bustling market full of curiosity, a man in a white uniform appeared not far in front of them.

"Welcome to Xitianmen Pass. You are the contestants and teachers from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft who are here to participate in this Triwizard Tournament, right?"

He shook hands with Dumbledore generously, and introduced himself in fluent English: "My name is Lin Li, and I am in charge of receiving the teams entering the West Tianmen Gate. Your ship is the Lionheart, right? It's amazing magic. creation."

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts. The five children beside me are the contestants who came to participate in this competition. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"You're welcome, please come with me."

He led a few people into the city with its gates open. The three-story Lionheart attracted many attentions, but the wide streets were not crowded at all.

After crossing this lively long street, they came to the gate of the majestic mansion in the center of the city, where a luxurious flying palace pulled by twelve flying horses the size of an elephant was docking. here.

"Looks like Beauxbatons is one step ahead of us."

Dumbledore smiled cheerfully. After the Lionheart appeared beside Pegasus, these horses, which were almost the size of elephants, flapped their wings involuntarily, and lowered their heads a little uneasy. This lifelike griffin In the huge ruby ​​eyes of the first winged beast, there seems to be a lingering aftertaste of a high-ranking hunter.

"Yes, Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Magic arrived about 15 minutes ago, but it's almost time to complete the registration procedures. The entry registration is actually not troublesome. Your information has already been entered, and you only need the final confirmation. .”

Just as Lin Li responded, a lady who was almost as tall as Hagrid bent slightly and walked out from the not-so-short gate of the mansion.

She was wearing a gorgeous black satin and silver pattern dress, and the huge opal ring shone with a warm luster on her fingertips. Although her figure was several times larger than a normal person, her every move had a calm elegance, Not clumsy at all, those big black eyes are watery, especially charming.

"It's a great honor." Dumbledore said to the tall woman, "Dear Mrs. Maxime, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too, long time no see, Dumbledore." Madame Maxime said in a low voice: "I hope you are all well."

"This is the student you brought?" Madam Maxim was a little surprised by the contestants beside Dumbledore. After all, Harry, Neville, and Hermione looked too small.

"Yes, they are all the best children in Hogwarts, and this competition will not disappoint everyone." Dumbledore said gracefully.

"I wish you a smooth race." Madame Maxime nodded, "However, my rune horse is not suitable for the plateau here. I need to leave first. I'm sorry Dumbledore. See you later."

"Then please go slowly."

Dumbledore moved out of the way, but it wasn't necessary at all, the spacious entrance and exit here didn't look crowded at all.

Behind the tall figure of Mrs. Maxim, several students in blue school uniforms hurriedly followed Mrs. Maxim away. They were just shrouded in the shadow of this huge lady, and they failed to attract people's attention at the first time. Yes, and they all covered their heads with scarves or turbans, so that people could not see their faces clearly.

After Beauxbaton's group left the gate, they entered the mansion. As Lin Li said, the entry registration is very simple. You only need to sign your name and get a pass to complete it. However, some Dumbledore needs to memorize the small details of the Lionheart. The Flying Palace of Beauxbatons is similar before. It is mostly similar to traffic regulations. There is also a detailed route map, telling them how to get there from the West Gate of Heaven. The place of the game.

But after seeing this map, everyone couldn't help but gasped.

Just the location marked above has already made people start to marvel.

Different from Hogwarts, and different from other magic schools, as their current destination, China's only magic school - Yunding Tiangong.

The huge legendary fortress that Ron had seen once was not located in some remote corner.

At least in Europe, magic schools are relatively hidden, so as not to be disturbed by Muggles or wizards, even in Hogsmeade, which is very close to Hogwarts, you cannot see Hogwarts from a distance With the traces of Hogwarts, even non-school students, teachers, and other wizards, even if they followed the young wizards, they couldn't get close to Hogwarts.

But the end point marked on the map is in the central area of ​​a huge city, in an extremely conspicuous location.

"Although I know that wizards in Huaxia are very close to ordinary people, isn't this too strange?"

After returning to the Lionheart, Ron spoke in confusion.

"Yes, I was also surprised when I first came to China when I was young."

Dumbledore took a sip of his sweet drink, and then asked a question.

"Do you know how many resident wizards there are in Huaxia?"

"I heard from Teacher Nicolas, about 12?"

Ron recalled what Nicolas May had said when he chatted with him before, and answered without thinking.

"It's a little bit more than this. Now it's about 13 to 14. So, a wizard city is actually not too much, right?"

"Of course, there are many ordinary people in this city who cannot use magic. There are about 60 to [-] people in this city. This can be said to be the largest and only magic city in the world."

"Then what do these ordinary people do there? Could it be... service?" Hermione asked a sharp question. For ordinary people, wizards who know magic really take advantage of it. fair thing.

"It used to be, Hermione."

"In China, wizards are called practitioners. In the past, there was another title for practitioners, and that was immortal."

"In the past, the gods were high and high. Even in China at that time, the number of their practitioners was actually not many, so those who are rare, but can always use magic that ordinary people can't imagine, are called fairy masters, and even received People worship."

"But the strange thing is that when the word "immortal" appeared and spread widely, practitioners tore up the veil of mystery by themselves. According to what they said, people were enshrined in temples while they were still alive. The catastrophe that Fuxiao suffered, maybe they realized that they are not really gods?"

"They built this city and fell from the high sky to the mortal world."

"However, the power of magic still makes many people yearn for it. The ordinary people at that time did not see and know as much as people do today. Many people who yearned to become one of them voluntarily went to serve these fallen into the mortal world. Immortal."

"This kind of time to be served has passed for a long time, but later, this model has undergone new changes again, following the changes of the times."

"Ordinary people have entered an era of change, and this has also led to changes for Hua practitioners."

"Many of them have parents, brothers, sisters, and even children who are ordinary people, and the feeling of being alone on top is not so pleasant. The practitioners themselves know very well that they are actually just some people with different appearances. Ordinary people with power, after all, they are not omnipotent gods, they are also human beings."

"The revolution originating from civilian practitioners has changed the ancient order that has not been shaken for hundreds of thousands of years. A violent and turbulent conflict has begun in China. They shouted, 'Immortals and gods are vain, and practitioners would rather have species!' Tens of thousands Many cultivators died in this war to break the 'class' change, but after an accidental and unexpected 'invasion', this change was quickly brought to an end."

"It's a dark history that many people don't want to mention. The self-isolation of various wizarding countries, especially Europe, is inseparable from that invasion accident."

Dumbledore took a sip of the drink to moisten his throat. After all, as an Englishman, he was actually quite helpless about this matter.

"But that's all in the past. The intruders who were destroyed in an instant did not stir up waves, but brought the change to an end. They began to try a new order and a new model, just like the gods who once fell into the mortal world, practicing The readers also let go of their last aloofness, to be a child, a father, a mother, to get along peacefully and equally with the person they love the most without gaps and alienation.”

"They have uncovered the last mystery of magic. Perhaps in the future, they can open up a brand new world that cannot be imagined elsewhere."

"Ordinary people and wizards. There is actually no huge difference between the two. The strongest power of human beings is not the mastery of magic, but the wisdom of each of us. This is what makes the world more colorful. A colorful source of strength."

"Think about the nuclear bomb, even my old friend Grindelwald was shocked by it, it was the power of pure intelligence, and of course, that 'village terrorist Tom Riddle', we heard Didn’t you miss his speech? Wizards actually have indelible anxiety and panic about technology.”

Dumbledore smiled at Ron. Tom's speech was used as an inducement to start bewitching his followers.

"And all of this actually stems from the hostility and prejudice caused by the long-standing mutual closure between wizards and non-wizards."

"It's like the word 'Muggle'. When wizards are regarded as monsters by ordinary people, ordinary people become 'Muggle'. In the beginning, 'Muggle' was as contemptuous as 'Mudblood' call."

Dumbledore stopped talking and looked away.

"Oh, by the way, you can chat anytime, but don't miss the scenery outside now. I probably didn't let the Lionheart go too fast, so we will be able to see this magnificent magic city later."

"The shock of overlooking it from a high altitude is a memory worth remembering for a lifetime."

The ground under their feet and the walls around them gradually became transparent, and the thick sea of ​​clouds surrounded them. The people waiting here were concentrated on waiting for the shock and magnificence that would come when the clouds and mist were cleared away.
