A handful of light green Floo powder was thrown out, and the flames in the fireplace instantly expanded into emerald green.
Ted carries the Spirit Crystal Servant Parker in his arms, with several "Magic Poké Balls 2.2" hanging around his waist, and a huge Anzu on his shoulders.
He gathered up his wizard robe and stepped into the fire.
A special power of rotation and attraction enveloped the whole body, and the whole person disappeared in a whoosh...
More than half a month has passed since the summer vacation, and it is already July. After Ted redeemed this month's knowledge about other worlds, he briefly explained the matters related to the Salted Fish Network. Now it was time to go to Jerry's house.
At the beginning of the summer vacation, Jerry was still helping out in Diagon Alley, earning some money to support his family. But something happened at home in the second week, so I never came.
Now Ted plans to go over and see if he can help. After all, looking at Jerry's letter, things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
Now I am no longer a first-year student with no power or connections when I first entered the cottage. I am now able to help my friends solve their problems.
…
The border between England and Scotland, the Livenkel area, and the Lost Mountains.
This place is called the Lost Mountains by the locals of Levenkel because of the heavy fog that often appears in the continuous mountains here.
And if someone walks into the mountains, they often get lost in the fog, wandering around and find that they have somehow made it out of the mountains.
Fortunately, the terrain here is mountainous and hilly. It is sparsely populated, consultation is not developed, and most people do not go to the mountains. Therefore, outsiders do not know the strange phenomena here, so the demihuman village has never been discovered by Muggles.
That's right, the demihuman village of Decamond is located in a certain mountain valley in the Lost Mountains.
According to data from the Department of Management of Demi-Human and Humanoid Creatures in the Ministry of Magic, there are now a total of 476 people in Decamond.
Most of the mouse-eared tribe, rabbit-eared tribe, horn-eared tribe, dog-eared tribe, cat-eared tribe, etc. are demi-humans.
Each group has a population ranging from a dozen to dozens of people. Among them, the Ox-horn tribe and the Mouse-ear tribe have the largest populations, both numbering over a hundred.
As for the three intelligent races from other worlds, such as gnomes, dwarves and elves, their treatment is much higher.
The dwarves dug an underground town called Hammer Castle deep in the Misty Mountains, with a population of about two hundred people.
There are more than a hundred dwarves. Because they have a good relationship with the dwarves, they live together in the Hammer Castle.
The elves have the highest treatment, and their gathering place is at the northernmost tip of the Pennine Mountains, which is farther south.
The British Ministry of Magic allocated a large area of land to them and allowed them to govern themselves.
It is said that the elven village of Tamriel was equipped with multiple magic circles to achieve spring-like weather all year round.
For example, other races are under the management of demi-humans and humanoid creatures; but the elves have a separate elf reception office! It can be seen that the status is unusual.
Ted opened his eyes, built a awning to block the ashes in the fireplace, and walked out of the fireplace.
Clean yourself up first, then look up and look around.
A small, even slightly humble shop - the wooden boards on the walls are full of traces of handwork, as if they were planed by oneself.
Looking at the shelves and simple wooden counter, the goods are quite comprehensive, ranging from daily necessities to some commonly used herbal medicines.
Behind the wooden counter, there was a middle-aged and elderly rat-eared man with gray hair.
He pushed up his thick glasses and asked in a deep voice: "Young wizard, welcome to Decamond. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ted looked at the old man whose beard was turning gray and asked, "Are you Uncle Pulley?"
Ted had heard from Jerry before he came that there were only two fireplaces in the whole village that were connected to the Floo network. One was the Ministry of Magic's office in the village, which was considered for official use, and the other was in Uncle Pulley's grocery store. .
"Oh? I don't dare to take it seriously. I am Puli. Who are you?"
"I'm Jerry's classmate, Ted. Ted Epiphany." Ted introduced himself.
"Oh! Ted, I heard Jerry talking about you. I also read about you in the Daily Prophet. You are an amazing young man..."
Old Puli was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jerry's classmates to come. It seemed that Jerry was doing well in school.
"Oh, is this the raven Anzu? Jerry told me." He asked when he saw Anzu on Ted's shoulder.
"Oh, it's me, I'm Ansu." Ansu bowed proudly, and then looked at Ted: Look, everyone knows me here!
Ted: Don’t you know who you borrowed from?
Hearing that Ted was looking for Jerry, Uncle Pulley enthusiastically offered to show him the way.
After going out, Ted found that the place was indeed relatively simple. Although the ground had been compacted, it was still a dirt road. Only a section of the road in the center of the village was paved with stones.
Most of the surrounding houses are wooden houses and earthen houses, and the two-story building is already the tallest.
And the only house that was the best decorated and looked quite western-style was the office of Aris.
In fact, for wizards, building a stone road is actually very simple.
But the demi-humans have never had their own wizards before, and the Ministry of Magic is not willing to waste energy directly on building infrastructure for them - although it is almost a piece of cake and does not require any expenditure of manpower and material resources.
This is also the reason why Jerry and other demi-human wizards attach great importance to their wizard status. In the magic world, races without wizards are inferior and disliked.
On the way, Ted saw several residential buildings with different styles.
There are sheds and log house styles, and there are Niujiao buildings with carved totem poles at the door.
There are also rabbit ears houses with even the roofs covered with vegetation.
The Mouse Ears are not very tall, and their buildings also have their own characteristics. They are usually built on hillsides and are "double-story buildings" with underground and ground floors.
At first glance it looks like a cabin has been built on top of the Hobbit's Bag End.
"Here we are, this is the home of Shirley and Jerry. It was not easy to build this cabin." Uncle Pulley knocked on the round wooden door.
After a long time, the door was opened by a slender middle-aged lady from the mouse-ear tribe.
"Uncle Puli?"
"Oh, Shirley, I'm bringing Jerry's classmates over." Uncle Pulley stepped aside to let the lady who opened the door see Ted behind him. In fact Ted was half a head taller than him.
"Jerry's classmate? Is he Ted's classmate?! Jerry said you are coming over in the next two days. Come in quickly." Ms. Hilly was a little surprised.
After delivering the person, Uncle Puli left. After all, he still had to look after the store.
Jerry's mother sat Ted down and poured hot tea. Speaking of which, this black tea seems to be a gift from Ted!
Take a sip, well, it is indeed! Specialties of Muggle society~
Ms. Shirley explained: "Jerry went out and followed the people in the village to explore the mountains early in the morning..."
Ted put down his tea cup, knowing that was what he came for.
He asked: "Aunt Hilly, Jerry didn't say anything in detail in the letter. He just said that there was something strange in the nearby mountains. Under the leadership of the Asian Management Bureau, the village organized manpower to investigate, but there was no result yet. What happened? What happened?"
Ms. Hilly looked sad and began to tell the story of the incident.
The thing first happened before the holidays at Hogwarts.
Strange vibrations began to occur in the Lost Mountains. At first, I thought it was an earthquake! But because the magnitude was small, I didn’t pay much attention to it.
As a result, it didn’t take long for the vibrations to become more frequent!
Moreover, many creatures in the mountain began to rush out of the mountain inexplicably.
Villagers who mainly hunt like the Dog-Ear Tribe were greatly affected, because some magical animals in the mountains started to become violent and even began to attack the village!
People like the Niujiao tribe, whose main source of income is herbal medicine collection, have also been affected, and their income has dropped significantly.
There was panic in the village, so they called in the wizards from the office - they took turns to garrison here, which was considered a chore, and it was boring in the remoteness.
But the wizards in the office can also delay, one day at a time and one day at a time tomorrow. Waiting and waiting means "the higher-ups have been notified and we are waiting for news."
It’s a good idea to wait until something goes wrong!
A wild and crazy stone-toothed wild boar in the mountains rushed out of the mountains and directly broke into a Muggle town outside. It injured eight people in a row and almost demolished two shops and several houses!
In the end, police from several nearby towns came to support. They used long and short guns and dozens of shots to bring down the violent stone-toothed wild boar of 500 to 600 kilograms - magical animals are very resistant to firearms.
Boy, this is all over the news!
The local police chief said in an interview that the wild boar was as strong as an armored vehicle!
Afterwards, many hunters from all over the country who considered themselves brave came to this remote town with hunting rifles and dogs to hunt the big wild boar that would be enough to honor them for a lifetime!
The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters' Reversal of Incidents Team, the Memory Cancellation Training Department and the Muggle Issues Regulation Committee could hardly suppress the matter.
Fortunately, in the end, Muggle experts were invited to take action, saying that it was a "specially mutated individual, with a one-in-a-million chance. There is no need to panic at all, and it is difficult to encounter another one." This was barely justified.
So, you have to believe in science~
As a result, because of this incident, the Division of Asian Management was criticized by the superiors and asked to quickly figure out what happened so that it would not happen again.
Isn’t that right? The Division of Asian Management will organize the manpower in this village to start investigating? But it has been more than a week and there is no useful news at all.
