Chapter 870 Stop talking, I understand everything(1/2)
France.
The Pyrenees Mountains in the evening were shrouded in thick clouds. Because there was a mist magic arranged by Nicoléme himself at the gate, not many people looked at it.
However, today, Beauxbatons welcomed a guest from afar.
Kyle carefully walked through the fog and appeared near the magic fountain.
He raised his head, looked at the hilltop manors in front of him, and carefully identified them.
"They all look exactly the same. Where is Professor Victor's office?"
Beauxbatons is no better than Hogwarts. There are more rooms here, and due to the popularity of alchemy, the classroom structure inside has been changed to varying degrees.
For example, in the underground classroom of Hogwarts, it is really dark outside the window and can only be illuminated by lights. But Beauxbatons is different. The window of the underground classroom here may have a branch on the second floor, which can be between dim and bright.
Switch at will.
And it's not a magic window like the Ministry of Magic. It's a real window on the second floor. The process is also very simple. You just need to use alchemy to slightly transform the wall and open a magic channel between the two windows to transport sunlight.
That’s it.
Of course, it only looks simple, and Kyle can't do it anyway... But it shouldn't be difficult for Nicolas Flamel or Victor.
So what he sees now may not necessarily be the location of the real classroom.
"I should have remembered the location when I came here last time." Kyle searched around again and shook his head, "Forget it. Fortunately, I made a backup plan in advance."
Kyle waited for a while, and an owl flew in from outside with its wings flapping. The surrounding fog magic seemed to have no effect on it at all.
The owl landed on the magic fountain nearby and looked over with a pair of big eyes in confusion.
Kyle met him halfway and hired him for two bags of owl nuts.
Although it did not comply with the procedure, Kyle gave too much, two large bags, enough imported nuts for a month, and the price was just two letters. No owl could refuse, and it was no exception.
Hmm...the nuts were brought by Kyle from England, so they should be considered imported goods to French Owl.
"This is the second letter." Kyle took off the empty envelope from the owl's talon that said 'Beauxbatons, next to the Magic Fountain', and took out another bulging envelope and tied it to its leg, "Give it to
Professor Victor of Alchemy.”
The reason why he used two letters was because Kyle was worried that something might happen in the middle... Although it was unlikely, it was better to be cautious.
Anyway, it's just an extra bag of nuts, so it's not a big deal.
But there's no need for it now. The owl wouldn't have lost the letter in Beauxbatons.
Kyle took out a cloth bag and placed it next to the fountain,
The owl immediately flew up and headed straight for a window not far away... that should be where Professor Victor was.
Sure enough, delivering letters still has to be left to professionals.
Kyle nodded with satisfaction, took out the second-generation nuts and put them into the cloth bag to pay the balance.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a jaw-dropping scene.
Fox, the phoenix, also flew out at some point, following behind the owl. When the owl arrived at Professor Victor's window, he snatched the envelope from its paws like a bully without any explanation, and also slapped the owl with his wings.
It flew to a nearby tree.
Can an owl defeat a phoenix? Of course it is impossible.
But it didn't dare to snatch the letter back, so it could only angrily return to Kyle, staring at him with a look that was mixed with confusion, shock, and swear words.
Don't think it doesn't know that the red-feathered bird is in the same group as the wizard. It has seen it before.
...Are all wizards so wild now, to trick a weak and pitiful owl?
If you don't want to give it, you can tell me clearly. It doesn't necessarily require those two bags of nuts.
Kyle laughed awkwardly.
To be honest, he didn't expect Fox to show up like this... Could it be because of what he said in the principal's office?
In this case, it can be considered that Fox delivered the letter...
But phoenix... Why compete with an owl? Is it necessary?
They are professional messengers.
Kyle looked at the returning red figure, silently took out the third bag of nuts and stuffed it into the cloth bag.
Now that the matter has come to this, what can we do? Let's apologize. We can't let people be slapped in vain.
The owl stopped staring at Kyle, grabbed the bag and left.
It can be seen that the heavy nuts were very difficult for the owl, but it did not stop at all, turned around and flew away, as if it was avoiding something terrible.
Kyle looked at the phoenix flying back and could only give a thumbs up helplessly.
Okay, well done.
Fox looked calm, with his head held high, as if nothing had happened.
Okay, that's it.
Kyle sighed. Anyway, the things have been delivered. As for the process, it's not that important. At least now the three parties seem to be quite satisfied.
"Who's there!" A loud shout came from not far away, and several people wearing the same robes ran towards this direction. They must have heard the movement just now and came to check the situation.
All those who came were young and strong wizards, and they pulled out their wands from a long distance away.
Beauxbatons is also very good at the security of the school. Unlike Hogwarts, Filch, a squib, takes over the security of the entire school.
Not only that, he also had to work part-time as a housekeeper and check for prohibited items. He worked multiple jobs but could only get one salary... Thinking about it this way, the previous principals of Hogwarts were really shameless.
…
"Okay, we should go back." Kyle glanced at the increasingly dark sky and said to Fox.
A flash of flames flashed, and before the other party ran over, one person and one phoenix disappeared.
I have to say that it is convenient to have the Phoenix by my side. I can travel between two different countries in a few seconds without having to worry about being traced by the Ministry of Magic. However, the process is not very comfortable.
"It's okay, Fox, you can go back." Kyle rubbed his forehead and it took him a while to recover.
Fox tilted his head and looked at Kyle, and let out a clear chirp.
"Ah, don't worry about me, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Kyle suddenly frowned and took out a special Galleons from his pocket. The pattern on it had a conspicuous scratch out of thin air.
Message Galleons, the other one is in Dobby's hand, and now there are changes on it, which can only mean that Dobby is looking for him.
Without hesitation, Kyle immediately apparated to the Leaky Cauldron and quickly arrived at his shop.
"I didn't expect there to be such a store here. It finally gives Diagon Alley a little class."
Before he even entered the door, Kyle heard a familiar voice... With that tone of voice, who else could it be besides Malfoy?
No wonder Dobby wanted to notify him, he was here so quickly?
Kyle stopped at the door, waved his wand lightly, and then walked in.
It turned out to be Malfoy inside, and Narcissa was also there.
Dobby stood aside awkwardly, his whole body seemed to be frozen. Obviously, even though Kyle had told him in advance, he still felt subconsciously afraid after seeing his former master.
Because strictly speaking, he betrayed the Malfoy family, and in the eyes of house elves, betrayal is a heinous act.
If Dobby hadn't insisted, Kyle wouldn't have let him stay here, and Kreacher would have been here long ago. But now it seems that Dobby still overestimated his instinctive reaction.
But the funny thing is, at such a close distance, neither Malfoy nor Narcissa seemed to recognize that the house elf who acted as a shop assistant in front of them was the Dobby who once served them.
But think about it, the Dobby back then was filthy and only wore a tea towel that was dirtier than a pig's head bar rag. He was almost completely different from the clean, rosy-faced and well-dressed house elf he is now.
, it’s normal for them not to recognize it.
After Kyle came in, he intentionally or unintentionally exposed his wand. Dobby looked over subconsciously, and then shouted in surprise: "Sir, you are back!"
"Yes." Kyle nodded, "Dignified guests are coming, I will receive them, you can go out first."
Duobei received amnesty and ran out quickly.
"It really has no rules." Narcissa frowned slightly, "If it were our house elf, I would definitely throw it a piece of clothing."
Although she had seen her cry with snot and tears, in front of outsiders, Narcissa still showed the usual arrogance of the Malfoy family and the habit of looking at people through her nostrils.
"You are the shopkeeper here." She looked at Kyle up and down and frowned: "You don't look like an Englishman."
"I graduated from Beauxbatons." Kyle said with a smile.
The way he looks now, he should be one of the Beauxbatons guards. After all, I just saw him and he was very impressed.
And it was impossible for Malfoy to go to Beauxbatons without being recognized.
"Beauxbatons..." Narcissa didn't seem to care about the other party's identity at all, and asked again: "Are you really the shopkeeper here?"
"Of course." Kyle said.
"Impossible." Narcissa stared at him, "Since you are not British, how can you have the title deed to Diagon Alley."
"This lady..." Kyle smiled and said, "Although I am not British, Galleons do not distinguish between countries."
