Chapter 413 Christmas is coming
Stories never stop because of the absence of individuals.
This is true even for the protagonists of the story.
Although individuals are precious, in the grand story, they are always endless, continuing their cycle and evolution.
This was the case with Newt in the past, and so was Harry later, including Ino now, who also adapted to this.
…
Lake City.
A second-hand shop quietly opened.
To be honest, opening a new shop in such a big city is really not too ordinary, just like throwing a stone into a pond, and the ripples that splashed dissipated in an instant.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
From the opening to the operation of the shop for half a month, almost no one patronized it except the night watchman. Not to mention that this shop is opened next to the clock tower, which makes ordinary people even more daunting.
The night watchman plus the clock tower, as long as you are not stupid, you know what this means.
But as the owner of the shop, Ino knew nothing about it.
He has been here for a week. After being received by the perfect doll Alice half a month ago, he gradually integrated into the city and even opened a legal store with her help.
Thinking of this, Ino couldn't help but feel a little magical.
The doll Alice is a real mechanical life, but not completely a traditional machine.
If you really want to compare, it is a bit like alchemy, a product of the combination of mystery and machinery.
But even so, Ino still regarded the other party as a friend.
In other words, he always felt that Alice was the only normal person in this city. The others he met were either dull like the previous innkeeper, or absent-minded.
But these were not what Ino cared about. He was just a passer-by at best.
What really made him care was the knowledge of mechanical civilization that he gained after communicating with Alice.
This is a civilization different from the Muggle technology in the original world. It is more like an alien civilization.
But no matter what, everything here makes Ino feel magical, because during the communication, he also learned that this land not only has machinery, but also other extraordinary powers.
Flesh, curse, magic, potion... all kinds of extraordinary things, this is really a treasure story.
In the shop, Ino slowly stood up, closed the door and began to arrange his own things.
Such an interesting story, no matter what, he would not give up. Although the whole house is built through dreams and magic, it is necessary to set a signpost.
Rooted here, he would like to visit other styles of cities if he has the chance.
Among them, the scarlet rose, a city built with flesh and blood, made him particularly curious.
This reminded him of the Gaunt family's notebook, which was also a disguised flesh and blood magic.
...
At the same time.
At the moment when Ino closed the door of the shop, the door on the top floor of the clock tower was pushed open.
Celia hummed a little song and maintained and checked the clock as usual.
The recent experience made her feel dreamy. The temple really sent people to this inconspicuous town, and the people who came were the ones she dared not look directly at.
The leader of the mechanical temple.
Unlike Nord and others, Celia knew the power of the leader of the temple. This was a person who could truly communicate with the original machinery, and he was also one of the few people in the entire continent who could face the invasion of the alien position.
It was also because of the leader that the temple could gain a foothold in this chaotic land and even stand on an equal footing with other top forces.
The transmission channel was opened, and after seeing the same figure as in the portrait, Celia felt unprecedented security and tranquility.
Everything was stable.
…
Time seemed to flow like water, always dissipating unconsciously.
As once said, no matter who left the story, it could evolve as usual.
Hogwarts in December was full of a pre-Christmas joy.
It seemed that the festival was only truly happy before the festival, a kind of happiness coexisting with expectation and excitement.
And when the festival really came, it seemed that every day of the holiday was reluctant and sad.
In mid-December, the castle began to be decorated.
Some simple ribbons and decorations quietly appeared in the corridor.
Compared with the jubilation of Hogwarts, the entire English magic world also showed unprecedented carnival and joy on Christmas after Voldemort's death.
The dark clouds pressing on the British Isles dissipated.
Completely dissipated.
...
Hogsmeade.
Not far from Davis Bangs, a mini manor with an area of less than 20 square meters stands.
In short, the only thing in the whole house that looks normal is the door about ten feet high. The rest looks like a small toy, or a goblin's castle.
The house looks a little funny, but no one despises it.
Because this house was the ancestral home of Lestrange before, and now it belongs to the miracle wizard Ino Swinburne.
Miracle wizard, this is the name for Ino in the magic world. Just like Dumbledore was praised as the greatest white wizard of the 20th century, the public always seemed to be happy to give good reputations to people of reputation.
With the export of the video mirror overseas and the fermentation of nearly two months, scholars in the magic world had to admit one thing -
Miracles cannot be replicated.
The Killing Curse is still the Unforgivable Curse, but turning the Killing Curse into fireworks and candy is a miracle that cannot be replicated.
And this miracle also includes resurrection from the dead.
That's actually what happened. When a person is a little ahead, smart people will try to figure it out, speculate it, and then learn.
But for things that they look up to, no matter how smart they are, they will choose to give up, because it is beyond their ability.
…
The disturbances in the outside world are like the falling snowflakes of Christmas, both soft and weak.
Whether it's discussion or praise, no matter what, these sounds can never drift into the mini manor of Hogsmeade.
The manor that looks like a toy is a real castle after the door is opened.
In fact, think about it, how can it be small and tight as the ancestral home of the Lesterland family.
In the study on the second floor.
At this moment, Ino is working with Old Bans to make a miniature mechanical lighthouse.
Seriously speaking, Old Bans is the first person he has ever met in the magic world.
Whether it's the accordion he bought in Diagon Alley at the beginning, or the many musical instruments that were customized later, the two have been in contact for a long time.
This time is the same.
After staying in the story for more than two months, Ino immediately found Old Bans after returning to study mechanical knowledge that was different from traditional alchemy.
The reason why he left in a hurry after staying for two months was just because he wanted to verify the speed of time.
As expected, the time on both sides was almost the same.
It was a bit regrettable, but it was also normal.
After all, now you can enter and exit the story at will. If time is still stagnant, it will make people wonder if there is another Hans quietly added.
But no matter what, the knowledge exchanged needs to be verified.
If everything goes well, Ino has thought about adding another course in Hogwarts in the future.
The story of the other world is not over. After all, the coordinates have been determined. It will probably be a permanent story in the future, and you can explore it slowly.
