Above the northern part of the floating city, the floating ship was located on a small deck at the prow of the ship. There were no longer a large group of people standing here like before. Only Allen and Long Eye were accompanying the Prime Minister's family. Their severe teleportation sickness caused most of the others to stay in the cabin to avoid awkwardness.
The Prime Minister pressed his chest. The suffocating feeling made it impossible for him to control himself. He tried to maintain his dignity as he took the teleportation potion from Long Eye.
The Prime Minister's wife, who did not have any adverse symptoms, was patting their son, Julian, on the back. Although he was the youngest, his reaction was the most severe. He was leaning over the side of the ship and vomiting. The trash cans around him were tap-dancing, but they could not catch anything. The discomfort did not allow them time to marvel at the scene inside the cabin. The inside of the floating ship was much bigger than it looked from the outside. There was even an internal elevator installed …
The Muggle Prime Minister regained his senses after the discomfort from the potion eased a little. He noticed that his son who was vomiting and his wife who was taking care of him were in a daze. Following the mother and son's gazes, he was stunned by the scene before him. The discomfort from before seemed to have been thrown to the back of his mind.
Now, they were hovering in the air not far from the floating city. Looking down at the floating city from the floating ship, they could clearly see the ground and the borders in the distance. The Prime Minister even felt that he was no longer on Earth, where he spent all his time together. It was as if he had arrived in another world.
This magical city had a diverse landscape. It was "by the mountains and by the lake". The three most magnificent castles seemed to be the core of the city, forming an equilateral triangle. The island in the middle of the lake was relatively smaller, but surrounded by seven tall towers. It was the center of the triangle.
The surroundings were so close that they could touch it if they reached out. The floating ship waved its tentacles like an octopus. Row upon row of buildings and wizards shuttling through them made the whole city look very prosperous.
Directly below them was the majestic headquarters of Hogwarts on the cliff by the lake. The castle had many spires, looking like a gothic architectural style. Little wizards in robes of different academies were shuttling through it. The Prime Minister saw with his own eyes that some children in blue robes suddenly turned into black birds and took a shortcut from the yard to the tower.
"It's magnificent, isn't it? Anthony, this is my school — Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is its headquarters and has a history of over a thousand years. The floating city was built based on the school … "Alan stood beside the Prime Minister and introduced him.
"Do all the British students study here?" The Prime Minister asked in amazement. There were many schools in Britain that were hundreds of years old, but there were not many that were thousands of years old, except for a few like Oxford.
"Originally, it mainly recruited students from Britain and the surrounding countries. But I've recently expanded its functions............................ Muggle..................... ........................................... Alan said proudly with his hands behind his back, but he suddenly frowned and pressed his stomach.
The Prime Minister, who was a little unhappy because of Allen's showing off, deliberately asked, "Is this a high school? I noticed that the students below are not too old or too young? "
Standing next to the Prime Minister, Alan stretched out his hand and pointed at the triangular vertices on the other two sides of the floating city. "The colorful building is Hogwarts Primary School. On the other side, the buildings that are more prosperous are all university buildings. Recently, because of the fire at the Ministry of Magic under the Whitehall, we've also brought some … important research equipment here, so we're expanding again …" Seeing that the Prime Minister did not say anything other than a more formal praise, Alan smiled. "Now, let's go to the southern business district first. As for the school … let's visit it later."
The floating ship did not stop for long. It continued to sail south, but its speed was much faster than the surrounding ships. Suddenly, the Prime Minister's son stuck his head out. He let out a cry of surprise and rubbed his eyes. He could not believe that he saw those creatures that usually only appeared in games.
In a gap in the dense forest next to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, some centaurs with bows and arrows on their bodies were patrolling the area. Some of the permanent buildings inside showed that the centaurs no longer lived in simple tents.
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, a few giant bird-snakes were hovering in the air. When they landed on the ground, they shrunk their bodies and landed on the ground. A few centaurs were helping these mystical creatures to exchange the berries and silver eggshells of the bird-snakes with the wizards for things that were not available in the forest. Most of them were processed food or fruits that were not available in the Forbidden Forest.
The Prime Minister's wife was different from his son. Her attention was not on the animals. Instead, she was attracted by the strange houses that defied the laws of physics. The style of these houses were different from the houses that the Prime Minister usually saw. The shapes were also very strange. It was obvious that they were full of magic. She even noticed that one of the strangest houses had a balcony that was moving at high speed like a roller coaster, and there seemed to be someone sitting on it.
"Cheri, the houses in the floating city will reflect the personality and aesthetic of the wizards …" Allen keenly sensed the emotional fluctuations of the Prime Minister's wife who had been quiet ever since she boarded the ship. He said amiably, as if he did not know that she was afraid of them, "I've arranged a house for you. I'll give it to you later … I know you like art and have talent. You can let go of your imagination and not be bound by the laws of physics … As long as you can think of something, magic will help you see things."
The Prime Minister's family was a little surprised. Why were they invited to live in the magical world?
"Thank you so much, Allen. It took you a while to restore the White Hall. This kind of building technique is an eye-opener … But as ordinary people, I'm afraid we're not used to it …" The Prime Minister knew very well that he did not know magic and had no deep affinity with this magical world. The wizards' arrogance towards ordinary people made him envious of magic, but he did not want to stay here any longer.
"Principal Harris," the round-faced woman said in a low voice. "Although my husband's term of office is still a few years away, it's not convenient for him to leave England for too long …"
"Oh, it's okay. He can come and live here after he retires. You're all very nice people. I think everyone will be happy to be your neighbors … "Allen heard the unspoken words, indicating that this was not a utilitarian factor." Also, I have good news for you later. "
At this time, the ship had almost reached the center of the Black Lake. It was not far from the top of Harris Castle. Allen could not help but use the hand under his magic robe to rub his slightly swollen abdomen again.
"I'm sorry, Anthony. Please excuse me for a moment. I'll go down to the south to prepare …" Allen said and waved at Long Eye, who was standing on the other side. "Long Eye, please take care of our distinguished guest for me and introduce our city."
"Thank you for your trouble … Principal Harris, Crystal and I … Uh, I mean Vladimir, have always gotten along very well." The Prime Minister waved goodbye to Allen, who had begun to step into the shadows. As the Prime Minister of a country, he had already trained his eyesight in countless meetings. He knew that some of the eager wizards in front of him were obviously going to take a dump.
"Vladimir, what's the place below?" The Prime Minister's wife looked at the castle below the ship that was surrounded by the seven outer circles of the castle and asked Long Eye. She was obviously more relaxed after Allen left.
"When there's a war, the wizards may be able to hide in it." Julian speculated enviously. "Can Crystal create some kind of protective shield?"
"I think it can, Master Julian … In fact, the whole city can. I heard that in addition to floating, as long as the protective shield is activated, our city can also dive into the sea, just like Atlantis." Long Eye bragged, then pointed to the castle below. "But the island in the middle of the black lake is the home of Principal Harris. It's also the center of the floating city … But because it's private, it's generally not open to outsiders. Ordinary people who want to go in and see the whole picture, unless they're invited or have important matters to attend … Of course, they have to contact in advance and let the people living in the castle accompany them, or let the Undead Knight lead the way." Long Eye pointed at Allen and added, "But tonight's banquet will be held below."
Castles and palaces of this type were held by many nobles in Europe, and from time to time, some of them would sell them at a low price because they could not maintain the high maintenance costs and were buried by some rich people. Therefore, the prime minister was not so surprised about this. He just indirectly had a deeper understanding of Harris's position — Minister Owen of the Harris family, he estimated that his position in the prime minister's position was similar to his own. But judging from the position of the castle on the floating city, Allen was not just a mayor like he used to think. Allen's ownership of the floating city was much higher than he originally thought.
"Vladimir, I noticed that this city isn't small. To be honest, it's not big compared to London … But you can complete the huge order with us … From Miss Granger's tone, it seems that you are all produced in this city … I noticed a little just now, but I don't seem to find any signs of heavy industry." The Prime Minister looked at Long Eye and asked the production questions that he was more concerned about. "If it's convenient for you to tell me … And … I'll call you Crystal. I don't know if you can tell me why Principal Harris invited us here so grandly? "
