Sword and Magic and Taxi

Paul Carter, I'm from Malta. A tall, fair boy stretched out his hand to Zhao Mai, Nice to meet you, Senior Mike.

Nice to meet you. Zhao Mai smiled and shook hands with him. Paul was none other than the student who rushed into the teleportation array during the previous round. Zhao Mai remembered that he suffered tremendous pain at the time, and he did not seem to have seen this person in Atlantis.

So he looked at Dumbledore in the crowd, and the professor shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know. It is said that Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic are obsessed with each other, hoping to join the Ministry of Magic tribunal going to Atlantis. This position was indeed offered to him, and he recommended it to Principal Dippet. Later, due to physical reasons, Principal Dippet transferred this function to Witte Fergus as an action to support his candidacy for Minister of Magic and increase his popularity. One can imagine how troublesome it would be for Dumbledore to get this position back.

So he failed and once again stood among the students and teachers to see everyone off. Also because of Dumbledore's actions, Principal Dippet felt embarrassed, and the relationship between the two began to become tense. Principal Dippet felt indignant, Oh, you recommended me, I'm very grateful. But as soon as I gave up the spot, you started to fight back. What does this mean? ’

I'm really nervous to meet wizards from other countries this time! Jiebao, who comes from India, is a restless person. He always has a smile on his brown face, but he doesn't show any nervousness at all. He wears a lot of ornaments around his neck. According to his introduction, these gods with different looks are all here to bless him. I will definitely bring glory to the country!

Right. Malta and India are now both British colonies, and it is not wrong for them to call themselves Commonwealth citizens. The only awkward person was Zhao Mai, a mysterious man from China who broke the tranquility of Hogwarts as soon as he arrived and gave the British Ministry of Magic a headache.

Witt Voggs wore a long trench coat and carried a black cane with an ivory handle, and it was believed that his wand was hidden inside. He is a proud pure-blood wizard, with his light blond hair combed back meticulously, and a pair of light blue eyes on the bridge of his aquiline nose that always reveal the desire to see through other people's thoughts. He doesn't have a good impression of the three contestants, but he won't do anything outrageous in public. He and a young reporter named Faraf from the Daily Prophet were the entourage of the three participating team members. The young reporter had a pencil and notebook in his hand, but he never asked questions or conducted interviews. He seemed not to care about his work. This is definitely a strange team.

The phone vibrated, and he glanced down. The message displayed was Atlantis has sent out a pick-up invitation to take four passengers from Hogwarts to Atlantis. The estimated cost is 2 gold coins. Do you want to grab the order? At least it’s not garbled once I go to Atlantis, which is good news. In order to avoid further setbacks, Zhao Mai ignored the order and put the phone back in his pocket.

The teleporting beam of light lit up, and this time Paul Carter was inside the beam, so no one tried to rush in. Zhao Mai only had a few experiences of being teleported, and as his strength grew, it seemed to become more and more difficult to teleport him. When he passed through the star gate recently, he felt obvious resistance. It seemed that as long as he resisted with force, the transmission process would be forcibly terminated. In particular, the Star Gate is teleported by disassembling particles and reassembling them. If Zhao Mai hadn't nodding in agreement, let alone The·Che, even he himself wouldn't be able to be teleported by it.

He was still worried that he couldn't be teleported, but found that he had arrived at his destination. In other words, the teleportation mechanism of Atlantis is different from that of Stargate, and seems to be more polite and harmless. Zhao Mai did not feel the impact of teleportation on himself, so what changed should be the overall spatial coordinates around him.

Everyone stopped on a circular platform that was half the size of a basketball court, with a layer of hard glass beneath their feet. A large number of magic runes could be seen through the glass, many of which Zhao Mai had seen for the first time, and they completed the transmission and gradually dimmed.

Under the platform is a long stone road with mosaic slender decorative paintings in the middle, depicting the protracted war and glorious victory between the gods and the sea monsters. At the end of the stone road is a splendid city. The spindle-shaped houses with pointed ends are of different sizes. They are completely unaffected by gravity. They are all floating in mid-air, constantly changing positions, at fast and slow speeds, and moving criss-cross. Look. They look messy, but they don't collide with each other at all. They generally move around a blue tower with a rounded bottom and a pointed top, and that blue tower reaches straight into the sky and is nearly two thousand meters high.

Zhao Mai estimated that the thickest base of the tower must be as big as thirty football fields, and the thinnest top is only as thin as a needle. Continuing to look upward, a transparent force field envelopes the entire Atlantis, and outside is the dark water.

The motto of Atlantis is: Magic is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, it will pierce the bubble of our existence. The speaker is a djinn, that is, the skin is completely blue, and the lower body is hidden in The kind of creature that floats forward in the clouds and mist and can grant three wishes. My name is Soram, the Archmage of Atlantis. Welcome everyone to Hogwarts. Please follow me to the competition venue, where teleportation will take place soon.

Thank you. Werther Foggs raised his cane slightly as a salute. The blue Solam shook his whole body, and in a burst of lightning, another Solam emerged. The separated Soram stayed where he was, and the other Soram made a gesture of invitation and took the lead on the stone road leading to the city.

Everyone followed him and looked around with curious eyes. Zhao Mai connected with the local natural force and found that it was quite harmonious. The natural force is flowing in a very free state, not the rigid and artificially trimmed state of Hogwarts. The entire city seems to be alive, exchanging energy and matter with each other through breathing and the marine environment surrounding it.

Zhao Mai was about to explore deeply into the force of nature when Mr. Ferguson came over. Mike, what are your expectations for this competition?

Huh? I think everyone participating is aiming for the final victory. This was already thought of when everyone put their names into the Goblet of Fire.

You can give up when you are sick, and I can make it up to you. As for the player who will replace you, it's Faraf. What Fugus said was beyond Zhao Mai's expectation. He added: It's for the sake of Hogwarts, and it'll be good for you.

This is impossible. Zhao Mai shook his head: You made the wrong idea.

Think about it. I know that this competition will be very dangerous, and the final reward is not worth your risk. It's really better to agree to it. Fergus said: You can visit Atlantis during this time. Si, learning the magic here is much more interesting than participating in the competition. This competition ended up being a battle of honor. If not, I would not have done this kind of persuasion.

Zhao Mai thought for a while, then shook his head: I understand what you are telling the truth, but I still want to compete.

Fergus snorted from his nostrils and stopped trying to persuade.
