The Admiral of Hogwarts

Over the next period, the Granger family traveled north by plane, visiting several cities and enjoying the beautiful natural and cultural scenery of Northern Europe.

Hugo himself also took the opportunity to summon the four light cruiser ship girls: Königsberg, Karlsruhe, Cologne, and Emden.

Perhaps because the most glorious moment of the German surface fleet during World War II was the Norwegian campaign, he was able to summon so many German ship girls during this time.

Naturally, after they were summoned, they quickly went south to join Deutschland and the others, and then began to implement the previously planned plan.

Through the Admiral Network, Hugo learned that Deutschland and the others had successfully found a place to settle down in the suburbs of Oslo in just a few days, and had successfully conducted several transactions with the local wizarding black market.

According to them, they could successfully establish themselves locally in just one month.

However, also in this communication, Deutschland stated that the original plan might need to be changed, because bloodline discrimination in Northern Europe was too serious.

In particular, the fact that Durmstrang only recruits pure-blood students has greatly fueled this atmosphere of bloodline discrimination, making it difficult for wizards with non-pure-blood backgrounds like the German ship girls to fully integrate into the current environment.

"Sorry, I really didn't think of this," Hugo said, realizing some of the mistakes in his original arrangement after Deutschland mentioned it. He really didn't realize how much influence Durmstrang had on the entire Northern Europe at the beginning.

But later, thinking about it, this is also a very reasonable thing. After all, as the strongest magic school in the entire Northern Europe, countless talents come from Durmstrang, and then these people will in turn influence the magical society of Northern Europe.

"If this is the case, then you should put the core force in a country in Central Europe," Hugo naturally wouldn't stubbornly insist that the ship girls must put their core base in Northern Europe, given the situation.

"However, you don't need to give up on Northern Europe either. You can completely send a branch to do business here and collect information."

"That's for sure," Deutschland replied immediately after hearing Hugo's new order. "The people here are exclusive, but not to the point of wanting to kill all non-pure-blood wizards like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his Death Eaters back then."

"At least if you're doing business, they won't care about the bloodline of the wizards who will be doing business in the future. As long as they can provide the goods they want or are willing to offer a good price for the goods they want to sell in the process of doing business."

After solving the problem of the Central European layout, Hugo and his family continued their northern journey.

For example, they took a boat to admire the unique fjord scenery of Norway and the unique marine life of the North Atlantic, and finally went to Tromsø to admire the beautiful aurora.

Because it is winter now, Tromsø, located in the Arctic Circle, is in the polar night.

Although in this way, the Granger family basically has no way to observe and visit the city and the surrounding scenery, coming to this city was not originally to see those fjords and marine life that are not much different from the south.

This city has a nickname called the Paris of the North, which was given by a French tourist in the early 20th century. Because the number of restaurants, bars, nightclubs and cafes here is the highest in Norway, and it is still the case today.

And even if the sky is dark, it will not hinder the operation of these places, and even this dark sky will bring a different flavor to these places.

"I came here when I was young, back then I came with my classmates," Mr. Granger said with emotion, looking at the street in front of him.

"At that time, we got drunk in the bar and had a fight with other people, and then a drink cost me a full 300 pounds, which made me very cautious about spending money for a long time afterwards."

"So children, you must remember to drink as little as possible, especially not to get drunk," Mr. Granger said, looking at his son and daughter to warn them.

"Otherwise, not only will people get hurt, but you will also have to pay a high price for the things you break. And I think once you get drunk, your destructiveness may be even stronger than a group of young men."

"Are you talking about 15 years ago?" Before Hugo and Hermione could say anything, Mrs. Granger said as if she suddenly remembered something.

"That time on my birthday, you made a necklace out of the bottom of a wine bottle and lied to me that this kind of handmade gift was more sincere—"

"Uh—darling, that's exactly the case, I put a lot of effort into that ring," Mr. Granger showed a slightly embarrassed smile, looking at his wife who was looking at him with a playful expression.

"Don't worry, the situation like getting drunk that time only happened once. I swear, I have never been drunk since we got married—"

Looking at the interaction between their parents, Hugo and Hermione smiled at each other.

For them, although their parents are both full-time employees and need to go to work for most of the day, so they can only meet in the morning and evening.

However, the warmth of this family atmosphere is no worse than those families who spend more time together.

For this city located in the Arctic Circle, the most attractive thing is naturally a series of buildings with the title of the northernmost. For example, the northernmost church in the world, and the northernmost museum in the world.

For the Granger family, these attractions are worth visiting carefully.

In addition, there is also a beautiful scenery bestowed by nature: the aurora. In his previous life, Hugo had seen a series of travel notes about coming to this city to see the aurora on many websites.

It's just that because the appearance of the aurora is full of randomness, not every tourist can see the aurora on their trip here.

Hugo felt that his luck was very good in this regard, because they saw the beautiful aurora on the night they arrived. These brilliant, magnificent, and ever-changing beautiful bands of light slid across the night sky, just like the ribbons on the clothes of the gods flying in the sky.

Tromsø is the northernmost point of the Granger family's trip. After finishing their trip to this city, they took one of the three buses that run every day to Narvik, the hometown of Hugo's maternal grandfather.

According to the Granger family's previous plan, they would stay in the city of Narvik for a whole week, and then return to Tromsø two days before Christmas and take a plane to Oslo to spend Christmas with their grandfather's family.

"I never thought your father would buy that knife," Fearless, who had turned into a small blood-colored bat and was hiding in Hugo's inside pocket, said to Hugo through the Admiral Network on the bus.

"But that's okay, at least you don't have to worry about whether you have enough fate points, and to be honest, it's a bit too cold to go out on winter nights."

When traveling in Tromsø, Hugo originally planned to go east with Fearless to the edge of Håkøya Island, which is not far from here, to summon North Carolina.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Granger actually spent a full 300 pounds in a traveler's shop to buy a knife made of North Carolina's steel plate.
