Chapter 502: Starting from platform 7 and 12

Albert simply couldn't believe it. He actually followed Serra somehow to the seventh and one-half platform, preparing to take the steam train that was about to go to an unknown area.

The crimson steam train stopped by the platform. The number of passengers on this train was very small. Two staff members were cutting tickets at the entrance.

A signboard stands on the platform, on which is a map of the train's route around Europe. The signboards indicate in detail each wizard village near the station.

The last stop was Hogsmeade Village, and the whole journey actually took five days.

Serra didn't know what he said to the ticket cutter, and enthusiastically introduced the destination of the trip to the two of them for convenience: Nicolas Village in France.

It is said that there is the hometown of Nico Lemay.

After Nicol Lemay became famous, the French wizards changed the name of the village to commemorate the birth of the great alchemist.

The staff took the small suitcase and took the two to their private box. After opening the door, there was a spacious room with two single beds. The layout of the room was simple and comfortable.

"Why not use Floo Net, Apparition, or Door Key?"

Albert asked his first doubt after the staff member put the suitcases for them, closed the door for them and left.

"Using the door key is illegal entry." Serra kindly reminded, "It is very difficult to Apparate directly to another country, and it is not worth our risk. Moreover, the last time I went to Nikolai Village was ten years ago. Now, the memory of there has long been blurred."

"What about Floo Network?"

"Of course you can arrive in France directly, but Mr. Nicholas has already pre-purchased the train tickets for us in advance. How can we let him spend the money for nothing?" Serra sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "And, to you Say, isn’t this a great experience?"

Albert was speechless at once, and this was too reasonable.

This is a first-class cabin similar to an airplane, and the price is certainly not cheap.

"how much is it?"

"Fifty gallons per person, food is provided for free." Serra pointed to the menu on the table and said, "Just order and things will appear."

"I originally thought wizards wouldn't enjoy life." Albert laughed at himself, and ordered an Italian lobster seafood noodle meal.

No wonder Serra reminded him not to eat more for breakfast.

"In fact, most wizards don’t ride in luxury cars." Serra probably guessed Albert’s idea and casually explained, "This is a car for some special customers, so I said it’s best. Don't waste this opportunity."

"What are you going to do in Nicholas Village?" Albert put down the menu and looked at the old man in front of him. He thought it was obviously not that simple.

Serra walked to the door, made sure that the door was locked, and performed some kind of magic in the room, before sitting back on the sofa again, and slowly said, "We are going to visit someone."

"I thought Nicol was in Devon." Albert guessed who Serra was talking about.

"They are dying, and they don't know how Dumbledore persuaded the Le Mays to give up the Philosopher's Stone."

Speaking of this matter, Serra's tone is very complicated, "We need to stay in France for three days. You can take the time to participate in this year's international wizard chess tournament in France."

"Doesn't you need to register in advance for that kind of competition?"

When Albert said this, his tone suddenly stopped, "Who has signed up for me."

There are new tasks on the task panel, and 80% of them are related to the international wizard chess competition.

"Bud signed up for you in advance. He thinks you will be interested." Serra said. "That guy was once a wizard chess champion and has a recommended spot."

In fact, there are not too many wizards participating in the international wizard chess competition each year.

"Of course, this is not the point."

As soon as Albert was about to say something, he heard Serra continue to say, "Nico also left something for you. We think it would be better for you to go there and meet each other in person."

Albert was silent.

He felt that a lot of messy things were crowded together, and it became less important to go to the United States to see Nicholas.

While talking, the train shook suddenly and began to slowly leave King's Cross Station.

Albert looked sideways at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the car window, and asked nonchalantly, "Who is Nicholas? Should you explain it to me."

So far, neither Serra nor Bard has given him a clear explanation.

No one likes to be concealed or deceived.

"John Nicholas is an American alchemist." Serra put down his teacup and took out a bag from his pocket, which contained Floo powder.

"It's not that I'm going to visit him, but you need to visit him. Remember what I said?" Serra said in a low voice, "In addition to me, there are three more. Nicholas is in charge of the Americas. Sooner or later you need to talk to him. When dealing with me, I will personally take you there while I still have energy."

"On the American side, they don't want to go."

"why?"

"There is no freedom over there, you will know when you go."

Serra took another photo from her pocket and pushed it to Albert. The photo showed an old man over 60 and a blonde girl.

The two people in the photo are smiling at him, and the blond girl looks like a delicate porcelain doll.

"That's Nicholas' heir and her granddaughter. It seems to be Catherine. She should have just graduated from Ifamoni School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year." Serra said, "Catherine is also a genius. Of course, her talent is not as good as you. ."

In Sierra's eyes, Albert is the most talented wizard in hundreds of years.

"Why are other people reluctant to go to America?"

Albert took a bite of Italian lobster noodles that appeared out of nowhere, and curiously asked why.

"Some unpleasant things have happened." Serra curled his lips and said: "That country is not as beautiful as you think. The US Ministry of Magic has strict management of wizards. You need to pay attention to many things."

"Because of Muggles?"

Albert naturally guessed the reason.

"American wizards have to hide carefully, lest the Muggles discover their existence?"

"Yes, it seems that you know more than you think." Serra nodded and said, "Although Muggles don't use magic, they didn't imagine the weak and the weak. Once they realized the existence of wizards, they would Causes us big trouble."

"The Muggle connection is closer than you think, and the information spreads quickly. Once someone discovers the existence of the magical world, it will take less than a few hours to make the entire United States known." Albert is very Know what those people will do after discovering the existence of the wizard.

No one likes to have uncontrollable power threatening their own security, especially for those in control of that country, such things will never be allowed.

"Those Muggles," Serra said suddenly. "When a terrible weapon called a nuclear bomb was tested near Las Vegas, Nevada, the wizards living in that area suffered unscrupulous disasters."

"Nuclear bomb experiment?" Albert's mouth twitched slightly.

"They are very strict about Muggles, just like most wizards treat dementors," Serra said. "The US Ministry of Magic not only prohibits wizards from marrying Muggles, but wizards are also strictly required to take care of their children. They are not allowed to cause riots by magic riots in front of Muggles."

"There must be a lot of people in the prison of the US Ministry of Magic!" Albert couldn't help laughing.

"It is said to be overcrowded." Serra said with a curled lips, "violating the secrecy law is a felony."

"Is there anything that needs attention."

"Less dealing with the Ministry of Magic in the United States. We went to that country in the name of visiting friends. We spent most of the time in Nicholas' small farm. There would not be too many opportunities to deal with those guys." Serra Said: "By the way, you shouldn't bring anything strange!"

"Something strange?" Albert repeated.

"Other magic items except the wand." Serra added, "It's best not to use the wand."

"No, I only brought some Kanon and double-sided mirrors. However, I don't know if Kanon is also applicable in other countries~www.NovelMTL.com~ Before Albert came, I put the deformed lizard in his bag. Everything is locked in the cabinet.

"Karon can of course also be used, but it will be more troublesome. They usually use Zhuo Guo."

Serra took out a purse from her pocket and placed it in front of Albert. Inside were some gold coins similar to Garon. The magic currency system over there was similar to that of England.

Among them, Albert also found several Franklins.

"American wizards have stricter management of magic currency, and they are not left to goblins to take care of." Sierra thought for a while and added, "the entire magical world over there has a repressed atmosphere."

In fact, except for the United Kingdom, wizard banks in other countries are managed by the Ministry of Magic.

Kanon is very popular in the magic world and is basically recognized.

This is related to the fact that fairy coins cannot be counterfeited.

"This row of numbers represents the goblin who minted this coin." Serra took out a Garon, pointed to the row of numbers on the edge and said, "That's why they cannot be imitated."

The food on the train was very good. After eliminating the food on the plate, Albert leaned back on the sofa lazily and looked sideways at the fast passing scenery outside the window.

The train was still running, and the next journey was very boring. Serra suggested that he lie down in bed and gave him a piece of parchment, which is said to record some precautions after going to the United States.

"I'm curious about how this train takes passengers to wizarding villages in continental Europe." Albert covered a yawn and asked, "Should we fly over the North Sea or pass through the bottom of the sea?"

"Passing from the bottom of the sea, this train will go to the sea from the Gulf of Mali, through the North Sea directly to Denmark on the opposite side of the sea." Serra pulled the curtains, apparently preparing to rest in bed. For an elderly man, he was traveling. It's still too exhausting.
