Chapter 143 Tent
Not long after the summer vacation started, Alice received good news: Hufflepuff's gold cup was found, and it was confirmed that the gold cup was a Horcrux.
I have to say that Harry Potter and his two partners are very brave.Almost as soon as Dumbledore revealed to them the news that the gold cup might be a Horcrux, they volunteered to go to Gringotts.
Of course, as far as Alice knew, Sirius and Lupine also provided them with great help.
Looking at the report on the theft of the vault in the "Daily Prophet", she felt a little pity: "If the cup in Bella's vault is not a gold cup, then we can confirm the two Horcruxes."
Snape was noncommittal: "You're too greedy."
Even if the Horcrux in Bella's vault is not the Golden Cup, they may not be able to find the whereabouts of the Golden Cup.At that time, knowing that the golden cup is a Horcrux, but unable to find it, will obviously make people more uncomfortable.
"I also know that from passive searching to active searching, this is a very big improvement," Alice stood up enthusiastically, "so this is not going to be celebrated?"
Hearing this, Snape's face was a bit ugly: "I don't understand, you obviously can't ride a broom, why are you so enthusiastic about Quidditch?"
Alice said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because what you can't get is the best. And this is a grand event every four years, how can you miss it?"
She used to have no money because she was young, or she didn't have time in the United States or Norway. Now that she has money and time, of course she must seize the opportunity.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's apparate directly!" Alice said to Snape, wearing her newly bought wizard robes, while she was having her hair cut.
She was even happier to see Snape's reluctance to get up.
Yes, originally Snape was strongly opposed to going to the World Cup.But going to the World Cup alone is too lonely, but Alice always has a way.
"Please, as long as you accompany me to watch the World Cup, you don't want to give any presents this Christmas or my birthday next year. How can there be a better deal than this?" Alice saw Snape finally walking slowly, Can not help but say proudly.
In fact, Snape would have preferred the gift.It's just that if he disagreed with Alice, she would chatter non-stop. In order to have a relatively stable summer vacation, he chose to give up and compromise for the time being.
Without answering Alice's words, Snape waved his wand directly: "Disapparation!"
"Wait!" Seeing Snape disappear, Alice followed closely behind.
A whirlwind.
When Alice came back to her senses, the first thing she saw were two wizards standing in front of her with tired faces, and Snape was standing beside them.
"Good morning," one of the male wizards in short skirts looked at Alice and Snape and said with a frown, "Muggles will find out you are wizards."
He showed Alice his South American cloak: "Like this, Muggles won't doubt it."
In fact, Alice also wanted to wear a Muggle dress, and the most important thing was to let Snape wear a suit, but the other party didn't agree anyway.
"We'll use the Confusion Charm," Snape said now.
"Okay, okay," another man in a tweed suit said, flipping through the list in his hand, "name?"
"Alice Hall."
"Go about a quarter of a mile to the first camp ahead. Find Mr. Roberts, the groundskeeper."
"OK, thanks."
Alice and Snape walked through the foggy swamp and came to a small stone house.
Snape cast a Confusion Charm on the Muggle guard at the door, and Alice handed over a $20 Muggle note.
Passing through the stone gate, Alice saw two rows of tents in the camp that were extremely spectacular.
"I originally thought that the tent I bought with huge sums of money was exaggerated enough," she looked at the palace-like tent next to the open space she reserved and the few peacocks at its door, "I now know what real exaggeration is. "
"Oh, this is the Malfoy family's tent," Snape said affirmatively, looking at the peacocks at the door, and then he turned to Alice, "You say our tent is exaggerated?"
"Hehe, it's not too exaggerated, you can understand it as having more style." Under Snape's suspicious eyes, Alice said awkwardly.
"Kreacher!" She chose to summon the house-elf directly, "put up a tent."
As soon as Alice finished calling her name, Kreacher appeared.With a fake locket made by Regulus hanging around his neck, he first bowed respectfully to Alice, and then floated in mid-air, energetically setting up a tent with magic.
"I think the house elves are really powerful." Seeing that the tent was set up in less than a minute, Alice expressed emotion to Snape.
Snape didn't respond immediately, even though he was well-informed, even with the Malfoy's tent as a bedding, he was still surprised by the tent in front of him.
After a while, he asked Alice, "Isn't that an exaggeration for what you said?"
"Of course it's not an exaggeration," Alice said, pointing to the small forest and the artificial lake next to the wooden house. "There are only a few fish in the pond, and there isn't even a single animal in the forest."
Her concept of money has always been that the province should spend money.Now that I have spent a lot of money to watch the World Cup, of course I have to enjoy it all at once.
This tent was specially customized by her. Of course, through the relationship between some merchants, she got a [-]% discount.
"The main reason is that I kind of miss the Norwegian forest, which is really beautiful and peaceful." Alice explained, and she pointed to the small artificial lake in front of the wooden house, "Although the lake is a bit small, you can still try fishing. "
Noticing the crowd gradually gathering, Snape led Alice directly into the tent.
The look in the tent is much more normal.A huge gray wool carpet covered the floor, three walls were filled with books, and there were two sofas and a coffee table in the middle.
Apart from the hammock next to the sofa, nothing special.
"What's this hammock for?" Snape asked.
"I think it's more comfortable to lie down, and it fits perfectly with the temperament of the forest cabin."
"What about the second floor?"
"The bedroom, the kitchen, and the bathroom," Alice was suddenly a little lost in the middle of speaking, "there is also a pet room, which was originally prepared for fur balls."
Who would have thought that Maoqiu, who usually likes to join in the fun and run around, would not come to the World Cup this time anyway.Helpless, Alice could only prepare rations for it, and left reluctantly.
Snape nodded, took a random book from one of the walls and sat down on the sofa.
Well, it looked like Snape wasn't going fishing anymore.Alice shrugged helplessly: "I went out for a stroll, and I wanted to meet wizards from other countries for a long time."
"Hope you get to know a handsome German wizard," Snape responded.
Alice ignored his eccentricity, and excitedly walked towards the tent with turrets in the shape of a four-story building that she noticed early in the morning.
"Hello, are you Chinese?"
The black-haired and black-eyed girl who was beating someone in front of the tent froze for a moment, then smiled happily: "Yes. I thought you would recognize me as Japanese like other wizards."
Seeing that the girl could speak fluent English, Alice was overjoyed: "Because I have a student with Chinese descent."
She stretched out her right hand to the girl: "Hi, my name is Alice Hall."
"King Yaqi," the girl winked at Alice, "I know it's hard for you to pronounce Chinese names, so just call me Ya."
"Okay, you can also call me Alice." Alice replied nervously.
"Do you want to come in and have a sit?" King Yaqi asked.
Alice was very moved, but considering that the game was about to start, she could only refuse cruelly: "No, I'm leaving soon."
"It's such a pity," Yaqi Wang sighed, "Britain is too far away from China, so there are not many Chinese wizards here this time. I can't even find a few people to talk to."
Alice blinked, thinking that this was a good opportunity to bring up the topic: "I can chat with you now. I heard that the magic system of your Chinese wizards is different from that of the West, isn't it?"
"Yes, we pay more attention to the use of elements. We have the five elements and yin and yang." Seeing Alice's confused face, Yaqi Wang followed up to explain, "Wood means straightness, fire means flames, earth means crops, gold means Congge, water means moistening, this is the nature of the five elements. As for yin and yang, it is a generalization of the properties of the opposite sides of the interrelated things or phenomena in the universe."
Alice was devastated because although King Yaqi explained a lot, she didn't understand a single word.
"In fact, the knowledge involved here is very complicated, and it is difficult to understand without relevant foundation." Yaqi Wang comforted.
Shaking her head, Alice cheered up: "Ya, I checked the relevant books and found out that Eastern wizards have the concept of meridians, right?"
King Yaqi glanced at Alice in surprise, and was very surprised by the question she asked: "Yes. Jing means path, which is the backbone of the meridian system. Luo means network, which means the branches of meridians, criss-crossing , to network the whole body. Meridians are the passages that run the blood of the whole body, connect the limbs, and communicate with the upper, lower, inner, and outer parts."
Alice seemed to understand, but her eyes lit up when she heard King Yaqi's last words.
"Ya, I'm very interested in this area of knowledge, but I haven't been able to find suitable materials. Can you recommend some for me?"
King Yaqi was even more surprised: "Are you interested in meridians? Even in China, there are many wizards who think meridians are complicated and difficult to understand."
"Yes," Alice nodded earnestly, "it may be helpful for one of my research."
"Well," King Yaqi thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "I'll just copy a copy of the textbook I used to study meridians and give it to you."
"Is that all right?" Alice asked.
"It's okay, ordinary people in China can also learn meridian knowledge." Yaqi Wang replied briskly.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
The Chinese wizard will only appear in this chapter.As for why Alice wants to learn meridians, can anyone guess?
