As soon as these words were uttered, after a moment of silence, the robbers wilted out of the way, sat down on the side of the street in a decadent manner, and wept bitterly.Su Ming just shook his head and continued to walk with Snape towards the headquarters of the Magical Congress, just crossing another road.Snape also turned his head to look at the man, who was undoubtedly still alive, but as if he had lost all his spiritual support, his eyes were scattered."
What kind of magic are you?"
The black-clothed professor approached Su Ming and asked in a low voice."
It's not magic, it's psychology."
The physical education professor shook his head and showed Snape the muzzle of the gun, where there was a small cloud of black sludge: "Although the man was dirty and smelly, like a tramp, his clothes were originally made of good fabric, as were the leather shoes on his feet, there were traces of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the calluses on his fingers were caused by tapping on a keyboard instead of a weapon." ”"So?"
Snape didn't understand what that meant."
This is Broadway, and the average No-Maj wouldn't come here even if he wanted to get drunk, but this man only knew that such a place could drink, so it could be deduced that the place where he used to work should be somewhere near Downtown.And where is the nearby work that requires a lot of contact with the keypad area of the computer keyboard, so that the first four fingers of the right hand are calloused?
The answer is Wall Street's work" Su Ming rubbed his fingers, as if he had already said this, and he was really too lazy to say the answer.“？”
Snape had a black question mark on his face.Death Bell raised his hand to stop the high-speed traffic, pulling Snape across the road, someone poked his head out of the car with a fragrant mouth and asked if they would cross the road, and he just lifted the corner of his shirt and let the other party look at the grenade launcher in his arms, now the drivers have learned to give way to pedestrians, Snape, who entered the big city for the first time, also crossed the road smoothly, while listening to the explanation of his colleagues: "This unlucky guy is a bankrupt hedge fund manager, and the word he fears most now is gambling, he lost all his money last time, And this time he was clearly not ready, because the muzzle of the gun was blocked by mud.I just made him fearful, and he lost the ability to resist, Severus, that's the power of intelligence, I thought you'd understand. ”Snape grimaced, and he put his hand in his pocket, "Indeed. ”"Alright, we're at the place, we need to register our wand here, then explain our intentions, and use the portkey of the Congress to go to the bottom of the Ilvermorny School Mountain."
Su Ming looked at the doorman who was still standing at the small door at night, the man was dressed no different from the doorman of other hotels, and the blue tweed coat looked very good, so the professor said to the man, "Let's do the entry registration." ”The doorman looked at them, and Snape cooperated by lifting the corner of his shirt and revealing his wand, the doorman let go of the door behind him, and smiled and helped pull it open: "Welcome to America." ”Snape was still a little disappointed, thinking that the Magic Council's defenses were no more than that, but after entering the space hall at the door, facing the rows of living statues on the walls, he felt that he was indeed missing some insight.The bronze bald eagles were all enchanted with activation charms, and they usually spread their wings like wall decorations to support the beams above, and only their heads could turn back and forth to observe, but they were the first line of defense when necessary, and hundreds of them were enough to hold off many wizards.Through a short metal doorway and guards, a large watch resembling a bell tower appeared in front of the two of them, with a dial showing the current level of alert, surrounded by hurried wizards coming and going.The magic simulates sunlight, and here you can see the virtual scenery outside the window, and the two of them stand on the edge of what looks like a trestle, and when they look up, they can see the patio made of hundreds of floors, and when they look down, they can also see the abyss made of hundreds of floors.The space seems to spread endlessly."
Sit down and rest for a while, I'll go and make an appointment, bureaucrats, you know."
Su Ming searched for the reception counter, and then arranged for Snape to sit on a chair next to him, and there were white metal chairs similar to those in the hall that resembled the airport, for people to read and wait.The semi-official publication in the UK is the Daily Prophet, while in the US it is the 'New York Ghost', and their reporters are really as pervasive as ghosts, and the newspapers often have a lot of interesting news.Snape noticed a house-elf next to the chair pedaling a bicycle-like machine, with two furry flywheels on a leash that waxed and maintained the wand at the same time.There were American wizards who gave their wands to the elves and were addicted to newspapers, and Snape thought to himself that he would never give his wand to anyone else.And when Su Ming returned to sit down beside him, drinking coffee and waiting together, Snape looked very uncomfortable, because he saw a very large elf walking around like a clerk."
Did you notice the half-goblins?"
The PE professor keenly noticed his gaze, and indeed these elves were very different from those in Gringotts Bank, they were taller, stronger, and apparently employees here."
I've heard of these creatures, a hybrid of humans and goblins."
Snape raised his glass to cover his face, and he spoke in a voice so small that outsiders couldn't spot it, "And that disgusts me, there were rumors that Professor Flitwick had goblin blood, and it was a complete slander. ”Yes, Harry was so suspicious, and it came through Ron's big mouth, just because Professor Flitwick was a dwarf.Harry, on the other hand, had never seen a dwarf, and could only tell by his height that Flitwick might have goblin blood.In fact, the elf's face is very hideous, and no matter how mixed it is, the sharp nose like a bird's beak is a feature that cannot be changed."
I've said it, but I'm going to say, welcome to America.Because there is nothing that Americans can't do, including raping elves to impregnate them, and although enslavement of elves was banned in the United States after 1892, the birth of hybrids was already a very large base before then, and now they can only be regarded as acquiescing in their existence and reproduction. ”Su Ming finished his coffee and put the cup on the table beside him, and soon a little elf came to fill it for him."
They have this attitude of service than purebred goblins, and their business will be better."
Snape stared grimly at the half-elf as he walked by, and the very old creature shuddered, and slipped away with his mop in his head down.Deathstroke shrugged, which was also reality: "Just like pure-bloods look down on Muggles, half-goblins are not as talented in magic as goblins, and although they have inherited some human advantages, being strong and tall is nothing in the wizarding world.Humans hate them, goblins hate them, and they can only do some of the work that Squibs do. ”"It's our turn, let's go."
Snape stood up, as the magic scrolling sign above the reception desk showed the names of the two men, and told them to proceed to the 'Outsiders Registration Office' on the 130th floor.
