The Admiral of Hogwarts

The reason so many people appeared at the magic port at the same time was simply that it was the only place with corresponding transportation to Kinshu Town.

Although the Japanese magic community has been learning from the West, such as directly adopting the creation and usage of wands, and even introducing some Western magic as part of the curriculum, it still retains its own unique characteristics in many areas.

For example, compared to the Floo Network, which is very common in Europe and America, only a very small number of areas in Japan have something similar as a symbol of learning from the Western magic world, while for most wizards, the most common method of travel is still the traditional way.

Kinshu Town is located on a small island more than thirty nautical miles away, and for safety reasons, there are no similar facilities connecting it, so the only way to get there is by other means of transportation.

Considering the large number of people, the magic port did not let them use the giant petrels unique to the school, but instead used the carp boats that are usually used for collective student transportation.

The carp boat looks like a Japanese carp streamer, like a giant carp lying horizontally beside the pier inside the mountain. Under the guidance of the local staff, Hugo and the others stepped onto the boat via a gangplank.

After entering the cabin, Hugo immediately realized that the boat was not as simple as it looked on the outside, but a rare alchemical item.

Because the boat looks like a small boat only a dozen meters long and about three meters wide, but the cabin has a very spacious space, even enough to fit two large buses.

"This is pretty well done," Enterprise said, entering the cabin behind Hugo, looking around the space. "At least it feels a lot more luxurious than the Hogwarts Express."

Because the entire cabin space was decorated into a Japanese-style tea room, and unlike the tea rooms that mainly focus on elegant style, almost everything in this tea room was covered with gold leaf, making it look dazzling.

"This thing is a bit like Hideyoshi Toyotomi's tea room in Osaka back in the day," Enterprise, who has a lot of research on Japanese culture, recognized the original form of this tea room after a few seconds of silence.

"Yes, Miss Halsey," a Japanese volunteer accompanying her bowed to Enterprise and said, "Our boat is decorated in the style of General Toyotomi's golden tea room."

This little episode did not affect everyone's journey. Soon, everyone entered the cabin and sat down in their respective seats, and then the boat started.

"A very good alchemical tool," there were not many hidden techniques on the various alchemical arrays inside the boat, so after it started, Hugo saw the principle of the entire boat's operation.

However, the time left for him to observe these things was not much, because the boat was very fast. In just half an hour, the boat crossed the distance of more than thirty nautical miles and docked at the pier of Kinshu Town.

"Don't worry, I have recorded all the visible parts of the ship," Enterprise said to Hugo through the Admiral Network when disembarking.

"And these things have been uploaded into the Admiral Network. I believe that with just a little time, Unyielding and the others will be able to deduce most of the structure."

The word 'machi' in Japanese means market, and the fact that it can be named after gold and pearls is enough to illustrate the money-sucking level of this wizard market. Looking inward from the entrance of the market, you can only see a sea of people.

Like the magic port or Hogwarts Castle, this island is also entirely hidden under a series of protective magic. And the nodes of the entire magic system are on the eight towers surrounding the island.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Hugo now. Now he and Enterprise are walking hand in hand on the street, and each of them is holding freshly bought grilled rice cakes.

Whether it is the wizarding world or the ordinary human world, as long as it is not explicitly prohibited, there will always be various places selling food in places with markets, and Kinshu Town is naturally no exception.

"I just saw that the other contestants seem to have gone to buy things," Hugo said while eating the grilled rice cake.

"But what does that have to do with you?" Enterprise looked down at Hugo and said, "Anyway, you don't need any precious materials to prepare those things you want, and it's almost impossible for them to be bought out."

"You're right, I was just a little anxious after seeing everyone else go," after being said this by Enterprise, Hugo also realized that he had just been led astray by others.

After realizing this, he quickly found a place that others could not see and used the avatar to transform into an Asian male, and then he and Enterprise, who had transformed into an East Asian female after drinking Polyjuice Potion, continued to wander around the street.

People with their European and American appearance are too obvious on the street, so it is easy to attract some unnecessary attention when shopping. So it is more convenient to disguise themselves and blend into the locals when shopping.

Perhaps because the amateur life of wizards in any country is relatively boring, the Wizard Alchemy Competition currently being held by the magic port has naturally become a hot topic in the market.

Maybe these people are too embarrassed to discuss this issue in front of the contestants, but after Hugo and Enterprise disguised themselves as locals, they found that eight out of ten people chatting were discussing this competition.

Among these people discussing the competition, many people are now scolding the Japanese team, because they bet that the Japanese team would be able to qualify in the second game, but they did not expect to be completely wiped out.

You need to know that, out of a kind of preferential treatment to the host, the Japanese team had five places in this competition that could directly enter the second round of the exam.

Therefore, many people felt that although the probability of winning the championship in the end was not high, at least some people should be able to qualify for the second game, so they bet on several odds in the hope of earning some pocket money.

But now, they have obviously lost a lot of money.

As for the reason for this problem, it is also very simple, because the topic of the second game exam is purely based on the alchemy system of the Mediterranean region. In this way, the Japanese are obviously at a disadvantage in the competition.

Because in alchemy, the foundation of the Japanese wizarding world is still based on the inheritance of that ancient country west of the sea, so it can be said that it is incompatible with the Mediterranean system, adding a bit of obstacle in solving problems.

But then again, the unique knowledge that Japanese wizards have summed up over the long years is not without its merits. If it is really a Japanese-style alchemy master, he can naturally find another way to solve this problem.

But now, the worse thing is that there is a tendency in the Japanese wizarding world to blindly learn from European and American wizards, resulting in them almost doing * * * * in various teachings.

Although according to family inheritance, they also mastered some traditional alchemy. But as soon as they saw that this was a question of Western structural system, they got into a dead end.

So the young wizards abandoned the traditional alchemy they had mastered and tried to solve these problems with the Western alchemy they had learned.

However, because of the differences between cultural systems, Japanese wizards are only limited to the study of standard textbooks for Western alchemy. Obviously, this level of knowledge is definitely not enough when facing this kind of high-level competition.
