"It's really big. Isn't this car cheap?" He asked with some envy as he looked at the modified version of the ancestor of the big G - the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen on the roadside.
Although the Grangers were dentists and could be considered a middle class person in the UK, he was still reluctant to buy such a luxury car worth more than a year's income.
"It's okay, it's just the same model as the Pope!" John pretended casually.
As a church with great influence around the world, there is no shortage of cars.
Manufacturers all over the world are vying to provide cars to the church leaders headed by the Pope.
But whether or not to do so depends entirely on the mood of the church’s senior leaders.
And even if the car manufacturer doesn't give it away, church members are not afraid of not having a car to drive.
Asking means having money.
Thousands of years of inheritance have made the church's properties spread all over the world, and it even has its own highly private private bank.
The per capita assets within the church are in the tens of millions of dollars.
John, who has become one of the top leaders, is no exception.
At only twenty years old, the worldly assets he can mobilize have reached a huge amount of 50 million US dollars.
A car is naturally trivial.
"So where is the commercial street in the magical world you mentioned?" Mr. Granger asked, getting in the car and sitting in the passenger seat.
"You'll know when we get there, fasten your seat belts, and you too!" John did not answer, but reminded with a smile, not only Mr. Granger, but also Mrs. Granger and Hermione sitting in the back .
After hearing this, several people fastened their seat belts in cooperation.
"Are you ready?" John asked again.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Several people looked at him in confusion. Is it necessary to be so troublesome to drive?
"Normally, it's definitely not troublesome, but I just want you to know that in the magical world, brooms are not the only things that can fly!" As John's words fell, and the Granger family exclaimed, This Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen flew directly into the sky.
"Oh, God, are we flying? We are really flying!" Mr. Granger stuck his head out and looked at the smaller building below and shouted. This was the first time John saw his uncle. This look.
"Won't we cause a commotion?" Mrs. Granger asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've used a Muggle shielding spell on this car. Ordinary people can't see us." John replied.
"Muggle? What is that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The name wizards used for ordinary people who couldn't use magic had a certain discriminatory meaning in the early days, just like Nico. But now, it's barely a neutral term, but I still prefer to use the term ordinary people. !" John replied.
In the original world, many people felt that Muggle was not a discriminatory term.
But John doesn't think so.
To him there was no difference between the word and Nico.
The origin word of Nico in Latin is just black, which gradually evolved into Nico.
If black people use Nico, there will be no problem at all.
But when other races use this word, it becomes a big problem.
Therefore, when the word Muggle is spoken in the mouth of a wizard, it still has a somewhat condescending and discriminatory taste.
"Oh, it seems that even the legendary wizard is much better than ordinary people in this regard!" Mr. Granger couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"Of course that's the case. There's no need to think of wizards as superior. Apart from being able to do magic, they are not much different from humans. Even if they take a bullet, they will die. No matter how powerful the wizard is, he can't withstand the saturation bombing... You Why do you think wizards are so afraid of ordinary people discovering their existence?" John said with a smile, and then looked at Hermione. "When you become a wizard in the future, you must not have the idea of being superior to ordinary people. After all, ordinary people in this world are Yes, at this point, our church is actually better than the Ministry of Magic in various countries."
"I understand...but can I drive a car and fly in the sky like you do now?" Hermione nodded and asked.
"Well... that's not easy, because flying with a modified car is actually against the laws of the Ministry of Magic. However, I have registered it with the British Ministry of Magic. This can be regarded as a kind of diplomatic immunity!" John broke. Hermione's fantasy said.
For example, the Weasley family's flying car is definitely breaking the law and exploiting loopholes in the law.
But when I got to John, I got special approval.
Just like the world of ordinary people, no matter how strict the law is, it is not non-negotiable as long as your status is high enough.
The flying car flew very fast, and it arrived at its destination in just a few minutes.
"Charing Cross? Is the business district of the wizarding world here? Why have we never discovered it?" As the car descended, Mr. Granger was surprised again when he saw the landmarks below.
"It's normal, isn't it? It's like others can't see my car!" John found a flatter roof and said as he landed.
Mr. Granger said he couldn't take it.
After parking the car and waiting for a few people to get out of the car, John took out a magic wand from his sleeve, then used a shrinking spell to turn the car into the size of a toy car, and then stuffed it into his sleeve with the wand. .
"...It's really amazing!" Although they had already seen some magical wonders, John's operation still aroused the Granger family's admiration.
Then John used the levitation technique to bring everyone down from the roof to the ground - note that John used the levitation technique of the priest profession, which can directly affect people.
The floating spell of wizards in this world can only act on dead objects.
There is a difference between the two.
Of course, if the levitating spell is used on people's clothes, it can barely achieve the effect of levitating, but that will obviously not be a comfortable state.
Then, under the leadership of John, the group came to the entrance of Diagon Alley and the door of the Leaky Cauldron.
"This bar looks old!" Hermione muttered, looking at the old Leaky Cauldron in front of her.
"Bar? What bar? Isn't this a bookstore?" The Grangers looked confused. They couldn't see the Leaky Cauldron at all, only a bookstore and a record store.
However, as John cast two rays of holy light on the two of them, they suddenly discovered that there was a small old bar between the bookstore and the record store in front of them.
What John cast was the blessing of spell wisdom of the Paladin profession.
Its basic effect is to increase the strength and recovery speed of magic power.
But after John's experience in the past few years, he discovered that this spell can be used by ordinary people, but it will also allow ordinary people to have a small amount of magic power during the duration of the spell's effect.
This amount of magic power is definitely not enough to cast spells, but it is enough to allow ordinary people to see some things that they would not otherwise be able to see.
It's like the Leaky Cauldron in front of you.
After the Grangers could see the bar, John took the lead and walked into the bar.
But after they entered the bar, the originally noisy small bar suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on them - to be precise, John.
It's normal. Dressing like ordinary people like the Grangers is not uncommon in Diagon Alley, so people in the bar won't find it strange.
But John was different, because what he was wearing was the Roman uniform that could be identified as a member of the church at a glance, which is what many people call the "priest's uniform."
In the eyes of the wizards in the bar, it seemed a bit too conspicuous... Although John had been to Diagon Alley before, it was during the holidays, so for convenience, he did not wear Roman clothes.
But this time he returned to the British wizarding world, it was considered a "tolerance", so there was no need to change it.
