It took more than nine hours to take a long-distance bus from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Sherlock and Laura stood on the streets of Jerusalem, an ancient city full of history.
The Jewish Kingdom first established its capital in Jerusalem and regarded it as a holy place.
This probably happened before 1000 BC, more than 3,000 years ago.
After the Jews lived happily in Jerusalem for more than five hundred years, in 586 BC, the Babylonians, who were prosperous in the Mesopotamian plains, destroyed the Jewish kingdom and occupied Jerusalem.
Mesopotamia, located in what is now Iraq.
The Babylonians were not happy for long, and were defeated by the Persian Empire sixty years later.
The Jews were "liberated" and returned to Jerusalem.
Unfortunately, before the Jews could recover, the Greeks came again, and then the Romans drove away the Greeks and became the masters of Jerusalem.
The Jews were driven out completely during a rebellion against Rome.
Rome transformed Jerusalem into a Christian city, and it became a holy site for both Christianity and Judaism.
Until the seventh century AD, the Arabs took advantage of the decline of Rome to occupy Jerusalem and regarded it as a holy place for Christianity.
It was not until the end of World War I more than a thousand years later that the British took actual control of the area.
In order to balance the Arabs, the British began to support Jewish settlement in Palestine.
After the end of World War II, Britain handed over jurisdiction over Palestine to the United Nations.
Israel declared independence the day before the British Mandate ended and took de facto control of Jerusalem.
The United Nations recognized the establishment of the state of Israel, but at the suggestion of the United Kingdom, Jerusalem was designated as a United Nations administration.
But Israel initially defined Tel Aviv as its capital.
When it saw that Jerusalem was no longer under its jurisdiction and the United Nations came to disrupt the situation, it decided to designate Jerusalem as its new capital.
This is why embassies of various countries were initially established in Tel Aviv. .
The vast majority of control over Jerusalem has fallen into the hands of Israel.
The United Nations still has influence here, but unfortunately it is beyond its reach and cannot catch up with Israel.
It was not until the establishment of the Palestinian state in the later period that it began to compete with Israel for the right to be the capital of Jerusalem.
You must know that there are also a few Palestinians living in Jerusalem.
Coupled with the disruption of the United Nations, the city became a city controlled by the United Nations, Israel, and Palestine. .
But the United Nations has minimal influence, and the city is defined as the capital of two countries.
"People say that there is a lot of beauty in the world, nine percent of which is in Jerusalem, but if you ask me to say that there is a lot of chaos in the world, none of it can compare to Jerusalem."
Sherlock couldn't bear to browse this ancient city.
Zhu sighed.
He found a hotel.
Originally, Sherlock and Laura chose a hotel, but the owner was a typical one, and maybe the tenants living here were also.
The way the other party stared at Sherlock and Laura made them Very awkward.
Having no choice but to consider various aspects, Sherlock chose to stay in a regular and large-scale star hotel.
Perhaps Jerusalem used to be under British jurisdiction.
Sherlock's British Muggle passport was used very smoothly in this hotel.
He also got a discount and arranged a very good suite.
The room service did not charge a service fee.
That hotel The manager was also British.
When he saw Sherlock and Laura checking in together, he winked at Sherlock indescribably.
"I need a basin of water, including a copper basin.
Is there such a copper basin in the hotel?
If not, can you help me find a silver vessel?"
Sherlock said to Laura "Why should I serve you?
You have already taken advantage of me, and wouldn't you go to the hotel service staff?"
Laura was quite dissatisfied with Sherlock's instructions to her.

She felt that if that was the case, As Sherlock's girlfriend, he would never speak in the tone just now.
"Do you still want to become a wizard?
Maybe I can find a way."
The words "I think I'll go" and become a wizard seemed to have a special magic power for Laura.
When Laura was not in the room, Sherlock took out his notebook from the pocket where the traceless stretching spell was cast.
There were two notebooks in total, one was Luna's and the other was Asinsha's.
Both of these books contained a large number of messages to Sherlock, and at this time Sherlock also began to reply to them one by one.
First there was Luna.
She was selected by the Honor Box to become one of the fifteen Ravenclaw contestants, but this time the enemy was very powerful.
A great coach appeared in Slattery, a man named Salina Hai.
The girl from Rouer is still a first-year freshman and has something to do with Sherlock.
Salina is the head coach of Slytherin.
People from each college were quite surprised that a first-year student would participate in such a positional honor box.
Since it was a competition, each of the four colleges selected fifteen participants.
It's a big melee, so the level of excitement is much stronger than Quidditch.
The professors even made a small bet while watching the game on the day of the school anniversary.
Snape's main bet was the Head of Hufflepuff, Professor Sprout, and the opponent was the Professor of Herbology, Snape.
Pu continued to put pressure on Slytherin, and Sprout was not to be outdone and took out a lot of herbs to survive.
After all, money has very little appeal to professors.
Snape also took out a large number of potions, most of which were very helpful to plants.
Such potions were also very precious.
If Ravenclaw and Gryffindor won, then their gamble would be considered a draw.
But in the end Slytherin won, which made Professor Sprout look very ugly.
Snape was happy for several days.
This was one of the rare times when students could see Snape with a smile on his face. .
Professor Sprout was gloomy for several days.
Even when taking the herbal medicine course, the students did not dare to make mistakes, otherwise they would be treated with indifference and all kinds of complaints from Professor Sprout.
This point is most deeply felt by the little snakes in Slytherin.
Nowadays, the course of Herbology has become the most troublesome course for the little snakes.
It was like Snape was taking advantage and not caring about the students in his house.
And Luna also wrote a lot of things, mostly things Sherlock had never heard of, such as her concern that there was actually an invisible ghoul living on top of the Ravenclaw common room tower.
Because when it rained, she saw the raindrops falling on the top of the tower, forming a terrifying human shape.
Sherlock reassured Luna about this and promised to help Luna find out what happened in the future.
Then Sherlock looked at Asinsha's notebook again
