#427 - Cairo (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

Two months later, Ministry of Magic.

Several wizards in neat robes were gathered in the Ministry of Magic's hall, some with large bags of luggage beside them.

"Mevis, why hasn't Anduin arrived yet? Today's the day to go to Egypt, he wouldn't have forgotten, would he?" Vanessa, although she had graduated for several years, still retained a hint of naivety, eagerly staring at Mevis in front of her.

Mevis, who was addressed by her name, took out an exquisite watch that Anduin had given her during Christmas, glanced at it, and looked at Vanessa with a slightly speechless expression, "The time we agreed on hasn't arrived yet, what's the rush?"

"I'm not in a rush, just a little excited, after all, this is my first time going abroad, I wonder what the difference is between Cairo and Britain." Vanessa said, then specifically glanced at another lady beside her, "Asselia, you've traveled in Europe before, are the living habits there very different from ours?"

"Um, it's okay." Asselia smiled slightly at Vanessa, "I've only stayed in France for a while, the wizards there, apart from the language, aren't much different from us, but the food in France is very good, I haven't been to Cairo either, so I can't really comment.

"Say less, Anduin's here, let's be ready to depart at any time." Director Bianca beside Asselia turned her head to remind them.

At this time, the people who were chatting looked towards the entrance of the hall, where Anduin, dressed in a dark ink formal suit with silver trim, a soft felt hat on his head, a monocle in his eye socket, carrying a suitcase in one hand and a cane in the other, walked towards them, he was followed by a short husky wearing a black vest, which was the shrunken Hogg.

"Sorry, to keep you all waiting." Anduin approached, put down the suitcase in his hand, gently pressed the top hat on his head, and then looked at Bianca, "I didn't expect you to be the team leader for this conference."

"The timing is just right, we should say we arrived too early, blame someone for urging us desperately early in the morning." Bianca said, specifically glancing at Vanessa, then looked at Anduin again, "To be honest, for us, attending the International Alchemical Conference is just a publicly funded trip, the real protagonist is you, I heard your work also won an award this year."

"Just lucky." Anduin shook his head modestly, his Tracing Glasses did win the Gold Award for pioneering contributions at the conference, Bones had already told him this in advance.

Then he glanced at the colleagues in the Ministry of Magic, Director Bianca was the leader, the International Alchemical Conference is a global gathering of alchemists, regardless of whether the country has alchemists who have won awards, or even whether there are alchemists, the Alchemy Research Center will send an official invitation.

The Ministry of Magic usually sends a Director-level person to lead the team, and Asselia, as Bianca's secretary, will naturally accompany her, Anduin only learned this from her a few days ago, presumably the dispatched personnel this time are also quite random.

In addition to these two, Mevis and Vanessa, as Aurors, are considered accompanying security personnel, but these two security guards look more like they are preparing to travel, with a large bag of luggage beside them.

In addition, there are two alchemists from the Ministry, who were the two who supervised Anduin when he repaired the alchemy room before, although their level is a bit lower, but as rare professionals in the Ministry, they naturally can't miss such a good opportunity to observe and learn.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's prepare to depart." Bianca said, then took out a thick rope that was three or four meters long, "Everyone grab the Portkey, Cairo should have arranged someone to wait for us."

Everyone immediately reached out and grabbed the rope Bianca took out, even Hogg jumped into the air and bit the rope with his big dog mouth.

Then everyone felt a dizzy spell, as if suddenly thrown into the sky, and then fell heavily at an extremely fast speed.

When everyone regained the feeling of being on solid ground, a group of 7 people had arrived in a small alley.

Underfoot and the surrounding stone walls of the houses were a thick earthy yellow, and the air breathed into the nose also changed from the humid air of Britain to dry.

Looking up into the distance, the field of vision was full of buildings with colors similar to the surrounding walls, their shapes were very different from those in Europe, most of them were flat-topped earth-colored houses, interspersed with individual spires and domed buildings.

But they all looked like they were directly built with mud, and even at the intersection with the sky, the edge of the blue sky could be seen tinged with yellow, of course, this may also be due to the sand and dust here.

"Ugh! Why was using the Portkey this time more bumpy than before, I feel like the intestines in my body are squeezed together." Vanessa hurriedly supported a low wall next to her as soon as she landed and started vomiting.

Among the people next to her, only Bianca, Mevis, and Anduin's expressions were still calm, the other three's faces were also very unsightly, of course, the biggest reaction was Vanessa.

"It seems like your journey wasn't pleasant!"

When the revealed people were familiarizing themselves with the new environment, a familiar voice suddenly came from their ears, everyone turned around and saw that it was Edgar Bones, the brother of Amelia Bones, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Anduin's long-lost alchemy mentor.

Bones was wearing a white robe common in the Arab world, with a large turban on his head, with a ring around the outside, sandals on his feet, dressed as an Arab sheikh, and was smiling at the people in front of him.

"Professor Bones!" "Edgar." "Mr. Bones."

When everyone saw that Bones had come to greet them in person, they immediately asked happily, especially Anduin, he hadn't seen this mentor for almost five years.

"Welcome to Cairo." Bones walked closer with a smile, "I learned about your itinerary from the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, so I volunteered to come and greet you, hello everyone."

"Edgar, I didn't expect to see you as soon as we arrived, that's great." Bianca and Bones were also old friends for many years, after seeing him, she immediately laughed and hugged the other party, then looked at the other party strangely.

"You haven't changed much after not seeing you for a few years, your big beard is still so prickly, but why are you dressed like this, I almost didn't recognize you if I didn't look at your face."

"There's no way, it's too hot here, so I can only do as the locals do and learn the local people's way of dressing." Bones also laughed.
