Chapter 781 Willful Vincent

Vincent and Hermione returned to the underground parking lot and immediately saw the burgundy GT-R parked right next to the Bugatti.

"Did she do it on purpose?"

"Who knows."

Neither of the two people who got into the car took it particularly seriously.

Bristol is so small that the probability of encountering it twice in a row is not low.

Moreover, Rinyin came to the UK for sightseeing, and she would definitely not miss special attractions such as Graffiti Street.

The royal blue Bugatti left the parking lot and drove towards the path leading to the suburbs.

The Bristol Hot Air Balloon Festival was born out of chance.

In the 50s, a young aeronautical engineer came to Bristol to attend a meeting of the British Gliding Club.

He demonstrated a new type of hot air balloon at the party, and seven people who shared his interest immediately decided to hold the first modern hot air balloon festival in Western Europe.

After years of development, the Bristol Hot Air Balloon Festival has become one of the top five outdoor events in the UK and the largest hot air balloon event in Europe.

In August every year, it attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world, as well as hundreds of professional hot air balloon pilot teams.

Just seeing hundreds of colorful hot air balloons taking off at the same time is shocking enough, and when night falls, the hot air balloons will gather on the stage and be lit up one by one along with moving pop songs.

The organizers will also carefully prepare entertainment facilities such as carousel carriages and ice cream trucks.

Visitors can play on the ground or take a hot air balloon to overlook the whole of Bristol.

The four-day hot air balloon festival will feature a romantic fireworks show every night.

Unfortunately, Vincent and Hermione will be attending the Quidditch World Cup in August, so they are destined to miss this year's grand festival which is extremely suitable for couples.

But with money, it is easy to rent a hot air balloon.

The royal blue Bugatti was parked at Ashton Court, outside Bristol, the site of the hot air balloon festival.

It is now June and several hot air balloon teams have already arrived early.

They were making adjustments before the test flight on the vast lawn, and were a little stunned by the combination of handsome men and beautiful women and the sports car.

I guess it’s some rich second-generation guy who brought his girlfriend here to play.

"Wait for me." Vincent walked alone towards a local team.

Their hot air balloon had rainbow stripes and the heat source underneath was already turned on, so all they had to do was light the blowtorch to get it airborne.

"Sorry to bother you."

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the team leader turned around and looked at Vincent who was smiling.

He is a very polite young man, without any of the arrogance of the other rich second-generations.

"Is there anything you need?"

Vincent briefly explained his purpose. "This is what I want to do. I want to rent your hot air balloon. Is that okay?"

The leader looked at Hermione standing next to the Bugatti in the distance, and his eyes became a little nostalgic.

Perhaps because he remembered the time when he and his girlfriend had taken a hot air balloon ride here, he did not reject Vincent's request immediately.

"Yes, we can, but we haven't made the adjustments yet. It will probably take two to three hours."

Two hours later it was almost evening. The hot air balloon rose slowly. By the time it reached a height high enough to overlook the whole of Bristol, it would probably be night.

Although the night view is also very good, if you want to be willful, you have to be willful to the end.

"Are you guys having any problems?" Vincent took off his shirt. "Maybe I can help."

The team leader quickly declined his kindness.

"I can really help." Vincent pointed to the royal blue Bugatti.

“In fact, my family acquired Bugatti last year, and the new car that is being developed was designed by me personally.”

The team leader's face was full of disbelief.

After acquiring Bugatti, could he still believe that this young rich second-generation man who was less than 20 years old in front of him could personally design a super sports car?

It’s not like I’m not telling you not to take your girlfriend on a hot air balloon ride, so stop bragging, okay?

However, Vincent walked straight past him and stopped in front of the basket under the hot air balloon.

As an apprentice of a legendary alchemist, how could he not know a little about mechanics?

Besides, Vincent can do magic, he really wasn't bragging.

"Can you let me see it?"

Several team members looked at the leader with puzzled expressions.

The team leader nodded slightly at them, thinking of retreating when faced with difficulties.

Vincent got permission to board the basket, and under the gaze of several members around him, he examined it carefully, but secretly used his magic power to quietly infiltrate the entire hot air balloon.

It turned out that there was some blockage in the pipe connecting the burner that served as the heat source and the metal bottle that stored liquid propane.

If the right proportion of liquefied propane cannot be delivered stably and mixed with air for full combustion, it will not be possible to provide the airbag with sufficient lift.

Now that he knew what the problem was, Vincent pretended to reach out to the bottom of the burner with the outer casing removed.

Thanks to his time at the Bugatti factory in Modena, Italy, he was able to perfectly imitate the professional techniques of those engineers.

He gently squeezed the connecting pipe, "I think I know what the problem is."

All members of the team watched quietly as he stood up and closed the valve of the metal bottle storing liquid propane, then squatted down and carefully unfastened the lock of the connecting pipe.

The team leader suddenly realized, "Is there something blocking it?"

"Yes." Vincent pulled out the pipe, held it straight down and tapped it with his hand.

Some fine black dust particles fell off.

Considering the time, it is indeed time to clean up.

Vincent replaced the pipe and opened the valve on the metal storage bottle.

The flame of the burner was obviously much higher than before. The problem that had troubled their team for hours was actually solved by the young rich second generation in just a few minutes.

The entire team looked at the royal blue Bugatti EB110 in the distance.

This historic sports car brand did change hands again last year, but the new boss is extremely mysterious and all we know is that he is British.

Could it be true?

Did he really design a supercar himself?

"It's really unbelievable!" The team leader walked towards Vincent and shook his hand enthusiastically.

"Thank you very much for your help, young man."

Everyone in the team put aside their prejudices and came forward to express their gratitude to him.

There was no need to rent a hot air balloon. As a reward to their team, Vincent got the right to use it for a whole day free of charge.

But when he proposed driving alone, the entire team hesitated.

It is difficult for professionals to ensure the safe ascent and descent of a hot air balloon, even if they have proven that they have extensive mechanical knowledge and have repeatedly assured that their team is not responsible for any accidents.

If you want to resolve the current stalemate, the fastest way is naturally to use your money power.

Vincent offered a price that the entire team couldn't refuse.

3000 pounds is enough to buy a brand new hot air balloon.

Seeing that the team leader seemed to have something to say, Vincent walked quickly towards the royal blue Bugatti.

He got into the car, opened the storage box under the dashboard, and grabbed the double snake staff inside.

Hermione, who was outside the car, saw him disappear and reappear shortly afterwards, holding a small suitcase in his hand.

"Did you go to the bank?"

Vincent nodded at her, "Money comes in handy at critical moments."

Hermione looked towards the rainbow-colored hot air balloon in the distance, then back at her boyishly-looking boyfriend and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It is another particularly precious memory.
