Chapter 476 Special Advertisement
More than that, as the evening sun sets, the sky gets darker.
Human wizards and goblin peddlers descended from the sky with carts and magic boxes, and [Apparition] appeared at the camp.
As soon as the magic box was opened, there popped up a complete desktop stall with all kinds of gadgets on it... Rows of luminous badges...Rose-shaped, green Ireland, red Bulgaria; green tall hats in the shape of clover; Bulgarian ribbons; national flags of the two countries; a giant luminous photo of Seeker Krum; small models of new flying brooms; figures of famous Quidditch players who can fly and walk around on the palm...Of course, the most sold are various games. Instructions (Hermione bought a velvet-covered and beautifully decorated commemorative tour guide); various telescopes...brass, panoramic, monocular...even medium-sized magic telescopes for viewing the stars...
Harry really couldn't understand how the wizard who bought this thing would watch the game later.
Of course, in addition to these special accessories and gadgets related to the competition... the special delicacies of various countries are also indispensable.
Rainbow-colored popcorn, baskets of ice-cold butterbeer, fried chicken legs, fried pork chops, these common and common foods...
Wizards from all over the world pushed over the trolley, and there were plates and strings of exotic food... everything... Middle Eastern Turkish secret barbecue, Middle Eastern lamb chops, French grilled snails, wood stick meat skewers, fierce steak, skipping pasta...
The aroma of flames, spices, and burnt meat... pervades the woods, captivating everyone's sense of smell and taste, making people salivate uncontrollably...
The wizards gathered together, wandering around the food street in the woods, savoring the food...
The frightened wizards have only now gradually fallen into the carnival mood before the game... Not only the local wizards, the United States, Africa... Even the Japanese wizards are also speaking English with a weird accent, wandering around with excitement... The New Zealand wizards even had another Maori war dance...
Harry and the others even saw Fudge and Professor Dumbledore wandering among these vendors with a group of people dressed as Muggles.
Mr. Weasley pulled Harry and the others aside with a complicated expression, and told them that they were wizards from inland China. Most of them dressed like this in Muggle society or outside... Normally, they couldn't even tell the difference between a Muggle and a Chinese wizard.
People stared curiously and indifferently at these weird wizards, Fudge, and Dumbledore... walking by.
Fortunately, Fudge and the others quickly left here to go to the arena, and did not hang out like Harry and the others.
When it was completely dark, Harry and the others bought some badges and drinks at the small stall, after popcorn.
Deep in the woods came the sound of a low-pitched gong, and immediately, tens of thousands of red and green lanterns floated above the woods, illuminating the road to the arena.
"The time is up." Mr. Wesley said excitedly, "I just said that the game will go on normally, hurry up, let's go!"
Harry followed the wizarding crowd into the woods.
All around him was the sound of excited discussions among wizards, and the Bulgarian wizards sang their national anthem, followed by the unique singing of Irish wizards... There were laughter and discussions everywhere.
The frenzied atmosphere spread back and forth in the light and dim atmosphere like a fog, making everyone's emotions even higher.
After walking for 10 minutes, Harry and the others came to a huge stadium surrounded by a magnificent golden wall.
The Quidditch field is huge, about the size of three football fields.
After passing the ticket check, Harry followed Mr. Weasley along the stairs on the Quidditch pitch, climbing up...to the topmost box.
It's in a great location, right in front of the golden goalposts.
Harry followed the Weasleys to the front row,
He looked down.
Hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of wizards are taking their seats one after another. It seems that what happened just now didn't affect the wizards' thoughts of watching the Quidditch match at all.
The gymnasium is oval in shape, stepped... with layers of red seats going up.
Dozens of entrances...stair passages covered with purple-red carpets are constantly spreading the flow of people.
Everything on the field was shrouded in a layer of golden light, making the whole field a bit foggy and blurry... and full of some kind of fantasy smoothness, just like the pictures on TV, illusory and real...
On both sides of the arena are two round hoops for throwing balls, which are fifty feet high. Under the court is a very soft lawn, which also emits a green light, which seems to be some kind of anti-fall device.
In front of Harry was a huge blackboard, very huge, about half the size of a basketball court, with golden text and bright patterns constantly flashing on it, carefully observing that there were some advertisements on it——
Mrs. Skoll's All Purpose Stain Remover: Removes Stains With Ease!
Nimbus 2000S latest broom: World-shattering design and extreme speed... Traveling around the world, you only need a broom! !
Fengya wizard clothing - London, Paris, Hogsmeade... High-end clothing that is popular all over the world!
Werewolf Suppressor: It is easy to use...you can't deal with werewolves, but it is also convenient to deal with other dark creatures, no matter your age, you can easily use it...a magic self-defense device you deserve.
Just as Harry was about to look away from the billboard, a burst of violent golden light suddenly burst out there.
Then a vivid graphic appeared.
Hermione, who was as curious as Harry and looked around, screamed in fright,
"Harry, look! That's..."
The flow of people in the gymnasium seemed to be paused at once. Almost at this moment, all the arguments, discussions, and yelling stopped. In the silence, the wizards all looked up at the huge blackboard above the stadium... and the very special 'advertisement' on it...
Kunlun Mountain (KunLun), Emei Peak (EMeiFen), Shushan Mountain (ShuShan)...
Various ink and wash landscape paintings flashed across the blackboard,
The Chinese pinyin text is difficult for wizards to read...
However, the divine-like picture made everyone understand that it should be about what happened just now... that huge mountain that fell from the sky...
Is this the explanation given by Fudge and those Chinese wizards?
Or just an advertisement?
Harry saw that many wizards even directly raised the binoculars in their hands to stare at what was displayed on the blackboard screen.
Magic Mystery: Groundbreaking space magic from the ancient oriental kingdom...Using the gap between spatial dimensions, a mountain peak is suspended above the sky and turned into an artificial magical mystery...Any wizarding force and family who are interested in avoiding Muggle harassment deserves a paradise...It can be moved and defended...Every magic mystery is an indestructible magic fortress.
If you intend to purchase... Contact information - International Association of Magic, Ministry of Magic Transport Division, Minister of Magic, Ministry of Magic Law Enforcement Division, Wilmotson Court...
A large list of departments of the British Ministry of Magic and the International Association of Magic was written in the back. Those who didn't know clearly thought it was an advertisement for these government departments.
The advertising words on the blackboard changed back and forth, except for those peculiar oriental nouns that Harry couldn't understand, it made him barely understand what the mountain peak just floating in the sky was.
"Heh, heh! Heh!"
Weasley forced a smile, "It seems that the mountain that just appeared suddenly...is a Chinese wizard advertising!... These Chinese wizards are completely different from ours, really...really..."
"Hardcore!" Ron also murmured.He heard the word from McGuffin, and Ron thought it was a perfect description.
"Yes, hardcore!" Mr. Weasley agreed with a sigh of relief.
Hermione was very curious about the magical secret realm, "That's a mountain peak, some kind of magical secret realm... how is it possible? As far as I know of any spell in the modern system... I'm afraid Professor Dumbledore can't do that, right? It's absolutely impossible to levitate a mountain and turn it into some kind of magical secret realm... [Untraceable Stretching Curse] is absolutely impossible."
Mr. Weasley added, "That's not the [Untraceable Stretching Curse], it's similar to more ancient magic...Didn't I already say that the magic in that place is completely different from the modern magic system? What's more, the wizards in that country are more suitable for group spellcasting... They must have used group magic to create these incredible things!"
"Well, that's right!" At this moment, Charlie also interjected, "The dragon-training magic we researched last year, the group spellcasting... In addition to being related to the ancient wizard books, and Harry, McGuffin, the accident in your first grade, what helped us the most was the inspiration from the ancient magic system there..."
Talking about that incident, Harry thought of McGuffin. He looked around and saw that there was no sign of this little wizard here... The top box was empty, only a few wizards sitting scattered in the corners. They were gorgeously dressed and looked like some big wizards.
As this very special advertisement passed, the wizards in the stadium gradually began to flow again, and there was a louder roar and discussion than before in the stadium.
The sound of humming echoed throughout the gymnasium all the time.
As time passed, the oval-shaped stepped venue gradually filled with people, and many wizards began to come to the top box.Mr. Weasley kept standing up to shake hands, and Percy leaned forward again and again. In this respect, he was not one or two behind his father.
These high-ranking wizards always chat and laugh with Arthur Weasley very friendly, even the pure-blood wizards have to pull their faces and say hello to Arthur Weasley...
And Percy could only get an awkward nod and smile.
At the same time, when people were about to enter the field, magical fireworks began to explode on the Quidditch pitch.
The fireworks exploded almost directly above Harry's head.
Unlike Muggle fireworks, these magical fireworks explode quietly and make various sounds as they change shape.
For example... the fire dragon transformed into magical fireworks roared and hovered over the stadium, and the huge flame wings whizzed over the heads of the people sitting in the seats, causing bursts of cheers;
Huge roses, peonies, roses, tulips, and firework flowers of various colors bloomed in the sky, making Hermione and many other witches addicted to it;
The roar of a huge lion made Harry's heart jump with joy; of course, there was also the pattern of fireworks that Harry hated very much...a giant green snake crawling in the air...
As time progresses, the race is about to begin!
The atmosphere on the court became more and more enthusiastic.
……
But in the Ministry of Magic's Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office, MacGuffin, who accompanied the old witch Hopkirk to write the inspection report, was not so happy.
"No, do it all over again!" The old witch once again coldly rejected McGuffin's description of the illegal use of [Apparition] magic.
Mafalda Hopkirk, an old witch, seems to have the ability to see through lies. It’s not the insanity, but she seems to be able to detect that MacGuffin is lying. Whether it’s Fudge, Dumbledore, or Crouch’s endorsement, this guy can always find out the mistakes in MacGuffin’s stories, and unswervingly ask MacGuffin to write the original text of who used [Apparition] that night.
It doesn't work anyway.
It was about to blow him up.
The abuse of magic is forbidden. The lights in the office are dim, and the lights on the ceiling of the hexagonal room are still flickering, making the atmosphere of the whole office very strange, making people very suspicious of ghosts.
The air atmosphere is extremely oppressive and dull.
It was also one of the reasons why McGuffin was unwilling to stay here.
Since the Ministry of Magic is deep underground, McGuffin has no way of knowing the exact time.
But it was almost noon when he left the Quidditch camp. During the time when he was writing the inspection report, his stomach was hungry, and then he was full of tea, which made him feel terribly uncomfortable now. With a slight shake, he felt that there was something coming out of his esophagus and throat, and his stomach was heavy, and he felt his stomach and intestines were falling straight down.
Very uncomfortable!
But he felt more painful mental dullness and boredom than physical torture.
The room was furnished exactly like Mafalda Hopkirk's character.
Stubborn, dull, neat and slightly decorated, yet devoid of surprise and comfort.
It seems that everything around is arranged for work and efficiency.
There are six cabinets erected by the wall, which are neatly filled with various documents and files, and six desks are arranged around the center of the office... facing each other. I don't know how the old witch's subordinates are able to accept this kind of working environment.
Unlike other offices in the Ministry of Magic, or even the windows in the corridors, the windows here do not have the sunny magical scenery of the outside world on the ground.
The glass windows... literally revealed what was outside the Ministry of Magic.
The wizard fountain in the atrium of the Ministry of Magic, and the office diagonally opposite the Ministry of Magic office building...
It was also because of this that McGuffin was able to judge what time it was from the lights on in other offices of the Ministry of Magic and the flow of people in the atrium.
Now, only one or two rooms opposite were on, but there were no people there. As for the central hall, it was even more empty... goblins and all kinds of wizards disappeared, and only occasionally one or two wizards could be seen running hurriedly, passing the inspection of the wizard guards in front of the office building, and then entering the Ministry of Magic.
McGuffin would bet that it must be late in the evening by now, if not there would not be many people here... Most of the staff must have left work early to watch the Quidditch match.
What the hell is he doing here!
Shir!
Taking advantage of the other party's inattention, McGuffin stared at Ms. Hopekirk viciously.
The old witch!
