The Oriental Mandarin Hotel is located next to Knightsbridge with beautiful scenery. Next to it is a bustling commercial street filled with Muggle fashion shops. From time to time, fashionable urban beauties walk on the streets and receive the attention of passers-by.
Looking at the Muggles on the road, Bai Lin had mixed feelings. The Muggles were full of energy and making progress every day. Relatively speaking, the wizards were more conservative and restricted the use of Muggle technological supplies. Some even indulged in the aristocratic products of the medieval period. Feeling about myself. But Bai Lin knew that with the advancement of Muggle technology and information, sooner or later wizard and Muggle societies would have to integrate.
In recent decades, many Muggles have actually become aware of the existence of wizarding society. Even the Quidditch World Cup has dedicated Muggle stands. But most of the time, wizards are still hidden from Muggle society. If there are wizards If you expose yourself, someone from the Ministry of Magic will be responsible for erasing the memories of Muggles.
However, with the advancement of audio and video technology in recent years, the Ministry of Magic's capabilities have been stretched thin, and Bai Lin knows that when short videos become popular in more than ten years, wizards will not be able to hide themselves at all. Once a wizard is caught Surveillances all over the world or photos taken by pedestrians on their mobile phones can be viewed by millions of people on the Internet in a few minutes. Even if the Ministry of Magic increases its manpower a hundred times, it will not be able to solve this problem.
And a demon king like Voldemort may be able to engage in terrorism in wizarding society. If he really wants to rule the earth, eliminate Muggles, and establish a dark wizarding regime, I'm afraid he is just thinking nonsense. Maybe he can assassinate some Muggle leaders. But anyone who has watched X-Men knows that the strength of Muggles lies in their creativity and research and development capabilities under the pressure of survival. Sentinels can be created to face mutants, and it is not impossible to create targeted weapons to face wizards. thing.
Phoenix's cry brought back Bai Lin's thoughts. He enthusiastically helped Bai Lin put on his coat, made himself invisible, and led Bai Lin into this luxury hotel where wizards and Muggles lived together.
Although the name is the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, the decoration and taste have nothing to do with the East. If it has anything to do with it, it should be the Turkish handmade wool carpets spread on the floor in the lobby, with ancient Indian gods drawn on the carpets. , maybe this is the West’s misunderstanding of the East.
The room was quite nice, but before Bai Lin had time to rest, Phoenix brought a large box. Inside the box was a strange machine, which seemed to be a creation of the steam engine era and was full of punk atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, my master. The Elders insist on monitoring the identity of each new young member for the last time. Please reach out your hand..." Phoenix said humbly.
Just as Bai Lin was about to reach out, the summoning illustrated book suddenly appeared and was automatically placed on the machine. Bai Lin saw the long-lost prompt:
[The magic auxiliary system is undergoing temporary bloodline correction...the correction rate is 35% - 95.32%]
Bai Lin was confused by the system prompt, but when he put his hand on the machine, the machine made a noise, sprayed out a burst of white mist, and then all the green lights on it turned on.
"Ah, Master, your Seeker bloodline is very pure!" Phoenix let out a burst of admiration. But Bai Lin just wanted to roll his eyes, as if the illustrated book helped him cheat.
Suddenly, he thought of a question: Did his soul travel through time, or did his body travel through time? If it was a body that traveled through time, why did he have the identity of this world? If it was a soul that traveled through time, why did his original identity become a Muggle because of his own arrival, and why did he need to summon an illustration to help him correct it? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Phoenix closed the big box, and the big box became smaller by itself, and finally turned into a robot bird, flew out of the window and disappeared.
"Master~" Phoenix said: "You have a short rest. If you need anything, please tell Phoenix... In thirty minutes, Phoenix will open the entrance to the Apparition for you and go to the meeting venue."
Since there are still thirty minutes, Bai Lin has many questions to ask Phoenix: "Will you follow me in the future?"
"As long as you need it, no matter how far away you are, Phoenix can feel it and will rush to your side as soon as possible. You can also take Phoenix with you, if this will not cause you trouble." Fei Nice is polite and authentic.
Ancient and wealthy wizarding families will have house elves as slaves, but they will not take the elves with them. Ugly and ragged elves will make the wizards feel shameless, so Malfoy turned to Dobby. With a look of disgust, Harry's plan succeeded and Dobby was freed. (In the plot of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Dobby is the first house elf with a spirit of rebellion and freedom. He died at the hands of Bella in the original book)
"Can you cook?"
"As you wish, I can cook any oriental cuisine."
"Including stinky tofu and preserved eggs?"
"Sorry Master, Phoenix is not allowed to make biological weapons..."
"...How many spells do you know?"
"Phoenix can prepare a list for you if you need it...but there are many spells that Phoenix is forbidden to use...and some that are restricted."
"Last question, do you know how to tailor?"
"What?"
The pleasant thirty-minute conversation ended quickly. Phoenix snapped his fingers beside the decorative fireplace in the room, and the decorative firewood in the fireplace suddenly lit up a white flame with a slightly blue edge.
Phoenix said: "Please come with me."
Bai Lin followed Phoenix and jumped into the white flames. This was not the first time he used apparation, but he still felt uncomfortable. Bai Lin was very glad that he didn't make Phoenix prepare a table of Sichuan food just now on a whim.
The destination was a square in an unknown location. It was like a grand outdoor bonfire party. Bai Lin thought he had arrived very early, but then he realized that there were at least hundreds of people in the square. In addition to people wearing various national costumes or wizard robes, there were also many tables and chairs set up in the square, filled with delicious food, and dozens of kinds of wine that could drive a man like Hagrid crazy.
"Finis, are these all...my relatives?" Bai Lin looked at these hundreds of wizards with some surprise.
"Master, only wizards and Muggles with seeker blood can participate in this gathering, because there are also some influential family members in the Muggle world who are allowed to participate, but your bloodline is as high as 95.32%, and your status They can't compare!" Phoenix said proudly: "They should all bow to you!"
Bai Lin glanced at Fenis and saw his serious look, which was quite funny. Maybe his last master was a power maniac.
