The three members of the Knox Family teleported to 124 Mark Douglas Street. It was a dirty alley, and a flight of stairs leading to the basement was connected to the entrance of their destination.
The three of them held the handrail and walked down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs was a dead end, and the entrance was blocked by bricks. There was a vintage poster on the brick wall. It was a modern girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and red lips wearing a red evening gown. She was putting on makeup in front of a mirror, and there was a red lipstick under the mirror. The words "Blind Pig Bar" were written at the bottom of the poster. As the wizards approached, the eyes of the girl in the poster began to move and stare at them.
Ian and Leonard both raised one hand and pointed their wands at themselves. With a flash of silver light, their black magic robes turned into more decent old-fashioned suits, and Ian also made himself a small blue bow tie.
Jessica stood in front of the brick wall with her handbag, waiting for them to transform. Her makeup was exquisite, and she was beautifully dressed. Her long hair, which had been let down during dinner, was tied into a cute bun with a pearl hair clip. She was wearing an ice-blue gauze dress that shone with blue light.
Ian looked at his sister and complained, "Jessica, look at how easy it is to disguise yourself with a spell. Why do you always have to spend time at home to dress up yourself..."
"I don't want to be undone by accident." Jessica looked at the woman on the magic poster on the brick wall. The woman looked up and down at Jessica's exquisite dress. She squinted her eyes, nodded, and smiled.
Jessica raised her hand and knocked on the poster four times rhythmically. The eyes of the modern girl were suddenly pushed open and formed a rectangle, revealing a pair of frowning eyes with heavy eye bags. This appearance instantly made this beautiful poster girl look very out of place and ugly.
Then, the brick door that separated the noisy bar from the outside was opened by the security guard. They walked into the smoke-filled bar. Numerous wanted posters were proudly posted on the four walls, and they were covered in dirt. Everything here was dirty and run-down, creating a gloomy and frightening atmosphere.
Leonard frowned and looked at the environment. "This place is still so foul, but it always makes people want to come here for a drink, swagger, and relax."
Short fairy waiters in black tuxedos walked among the wizards with large trays in their hands. There were all kinds of hoppy beer on the trays. Some sinister and cunning Magi were sneaking around in the corner, as if they were making some secret deals. In the corner of the bar, there was even a giant who was using a beer barrel as a wine glass and gulping it down.
The wizard TV screen hanging on the bar was showing Allen's floating city and the Mise energy core. At this time, the people in the bar had shifted their attention from the TV program to the narrow stage. A wizard with maroon hair stood on the stage and gave a speech. His tone was urgent, and he looked a little excited.
"Sir, the change in the situation is obvious." The wizard on the stage paused, organized his thoughts, and continued to express his opinion. "After today, the path in front of us, the path that will allow us to obtain the most benefits is to cooperate with the Hogwarts and strive to move their advanced magic and core technology back to the United States. This is the wisest way. Otherwise, I suspect that our Magic Congress won't be able to develop a technology like the floating city even after a few decades …"
"F * ck! Why should we bow our heads to those arrogant Englishmen for such things?! He made it … This bastard, go to hell … "
"But he's right. It's not just Congress, but also the Iffamoni. They have always been too rigid and haven't innovated for so many years. But Congress also hasn't increased their support for the Iffamoni. "
"The United States is a free country! We don't need the British energy core or their tea! "
Ian and the other two, who had just walked into the tavern, were sizing up the situation in the hall and looking for a seat when they saw this chaotic scene. But before Leonard could complain, a young man walked toward them.
"Hey, Ian, over here!"
He was the main character who invited the Ian today, Fausz Gravis. This male wizard's short black hair was neatly parted. The two impressive things about him were his pair of thick and black eyebrows, his high nose bridge, and his tight jawline and well-defined chin. It made him look very determined. The wizard robe he was wearing was not luxurious, but his straight back made him look very elegant among the wizards in the dimly lit side hall.
"Oh, Mr. Knox, I didn't expect you to be here tonight. It seems that we young people are really lucky … Mr. Knox, you just came back from the United Kingdom not long ago. If we are lucky enough to hear your opinion, it will definitely give us a more specific understanding and judgment of the actual situation in the United Kingdom …" Fausz Gravis greeted Leonard warmly and took the initiative to bow slightly and reach out to shake hands with Leonard.
"Mr. Gravis … You flatter me. But I'm mainly here to have a drink …" Leonard shook Fausz Gravis's hand gently and shook it up and down. Although he couldn't help but feel that Fausz Gravis was not annoying, he didn't intend to continue the conversation because of their different positions and factions.
"That's a pity … but the hard liquor and jazz music here are pretty good." Fausz Gravis didn't mind. Then, he looked at Jessica with his deep and charming eyes. "Jessica, I secretly ate a piece of the sandwich you made for the Ian last time. It was soft and soft, especially the chicken breast inside. It was juicy and tasty. Can you tell me the secret recipe? I hope my wife, Carmen, can learn how to cook this … "
Ian growled angrily, "What?! You ate my sandwich?! "
"Ian! Where's your manners?! " Jessica smiled brightly because her culinary skills were praised. "Please tell Mrs. Ejogo that the secret is to marinate it with coarse salt for half an hour in advance. But if you like it, Mr. Gravis, I'll make more next time and ask Ian to bring it to you."
"Call me Fausz Gravis, Jessica. You don't have to be so formal … You know I'm very close to Ian," Gravis reminded her seriously.
"Excuse us, but we have to find a seat first …" Leonard frowned and pointed at a short wizard with a crew cut who was walking over quickly. "Also, it seems like this gentleman is looking for you." "Ah, it must be Mr. Gravis.
"Ah, it must be Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain's speech is almost over, and the next one to go on stage is me …" Genji Fuji turned around and looked. "That seems to be the case. Forgive me, I have to leave … If it's possible, let's have a few drinks together later …" Genji Fuji slightly bowed to the Knox Family's wizards. "But Mr. Knox, this bar provides a platform for wizards to freely express their opinions and opinions … I have always respected your wisdom and experience very much. If you have the honor, please listen to this immature young man's heartfelt words. I know we often have different ideas, but I sincerely hope that I can get some advice from Mr. Knox … Everything we do is for the United States."
Leonard exhaled and softened his estranged voice. "Everything is for the United States."
Fausz Gravis nodded again and turned to leave. The male wizard with chestnut-colored hair, Chamberlain, had already stepped down from the podium. While Fausz Gravis was preparing for his speech, a female singer who seemed to be a mixed-blood fairy wearing a revealing silver dress stepped onto the narrow podium. Her appearance triggered applause and whistles from the wizards and other magical races who were not interested in politics.
The music that exuded a jazz aura began to play. The languid and slightly sad timbre, the slow swaying rhythm, the faint jazz piano sound, and a psychedelic and mellow jazz scene swept across their faces.
The non-human singer raised her head. She had a long face with half-closed eyes. Her pointy ears were also raised. The back of her head was strongly protruding. At this moment, from the side, it looked like a round, elongated insect egg. The capacity of her cranial cavity seemed to be very large, equivalent to one and a half times that of an ordinary person.
A few silver, snake-like braids coiled around her bare head. In the middle of her forehead, there were two forked fleshy horns. The sharp and tall nose and delicate facial features gave the singer a unique charm.
As the female singer sang, many of the house elves on the stage stretched out their fingers and emitted many silver lights. In the intertwining of these silver lights, some white smoke rose, and the images of the female singer's singing appeared on the smoke.
Meanwhile, Leonard had already taken the siblings to a slightly secluded spot that he had just chosen.
