Hogwarts: The Obscurial War School
38. Mystery Circus
Aurelius had limited connections with the magical world.
But fortunately, I learned some common sense information about the magic world through Queenie Aurelius.
For example, commercial street.
The magical world of Magnesia is different from that of Britain. In Britain, there is only one commercial street, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade is half of it.
The main reason is that Britain is a small place and has a small number of wizards, so there is no need for a large commercial street.
The country of Magnesium is different. It is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of wizards is three times that of Britain.
Coupled with the antagonism between wizards and No-Majs, a short history, and other factors, a business model with the characteristics of the magical world of Magnesium was formed.
There are almost no commercial streets in Magnesia. Family life is the norm for wizards in Magnesia. To put it bluntly, it is a small-scale peasant economy, and most wizard families are self-sufficient.
And because of the existence of Apparition, the geographical gap has been narrowed.
Some families are unable to produce enough goods and sell them in shops located in various towns in the country.
Later, several commercial streets actually appeared one after another, but they were all small in scale. There were obviously several times more wizards in the UK, but the scale of the commercial streets was less than one-third of the size of Diagon Alley.
The Magical Congress has only moved to New York a few years ago, and the largest shopping street in the country is not in New York either.
New York is an emerging city, and all cities in the country are emerging cities.
There is no saying from ancient times, and it is obvious that No-Majs will not reserve space for wizards to build a commercial street.
Therefore, the shopping street in New York is called Wally's Cave, which sounds a bit rustic, but if it is a transliteration, it is called "Wally's Cave", which immediately makes it look more foreign.
Wo-ri Cave is an underground commercial street.
Located underground in Queens, at a depth of several hundred meters.
It was transformed from a huge cave. The top of the cave looked like a starry sky, with countless candles suspended to form starlight.
The unique cave shop has a unique style. Even though it has only been around for thirty years, it is small in scale, but its special style makes it a must-visit travel destination for every foreign wizard.
The Magic Congress also intends to develop Wally's Cave. Although it is not large in scale, it has an extremely rich number of shops. All famous magic shops in the world have been asked to open branches here.
There are nearly a hundred of them.
Wally's Cave is not a linear layout like Diagon Alley, but has a circular layout around the large square in the center. The high cave roof gives more space for use, and several shops are arranged in a stepped manner.
Since it was built not long ago, the planning here is very new.
Each store looks exactly the same size from the outside, and the internal space is expanded by the Traceless Stretch Charm.
There are exquisite statues outside each shop, and there are also some magical plants that can light up to add life to the cold stone caves.
Strolling through the central square, there are many people here.
In fact, magnesium country wizards rarely like to go shopping, but these days are an exception.
The entire month of April is a festival in the magical world of Magnesia, which originated from the Salem witch hunt.
In May 1693, Phillips granted a general amnesty to all prisoners suspected of witchcraft and terminated all trials. This means that the most miserable period for wizards in the Magnesium Kingdom is over, wizards and No-Majs are completely separated, and wizards will no longer suffer large-scale persecution.
Therefore, wizards celebrate this day as the 'New Year's Day', and the month before the New Year's Day is called the 'Nirvana Month'.
The New Year's Day and the Nirvana Month are the most important festivals in the magical world of Magnesia. Various parties, gatherings, and shopping are naturally indispensable.
People gathered in the commercial street, and the huge flow of people also spawned some entertainment activities.
"Why do I feel like I'm visiting a temple fair?" Aurelius held a bowl of special ice cream in his hand and looked at the colorful and festive atmosphere around him, feeling very familiar.
Although the layout is different, the atmosphere is similar.
Aurelius really felt like he was dreaming back to his previous life and visiting the temple fair during the New Year.
"And... there's juggling, it's more like that."
The center of the square was occupied by a huge red tent, which was very lively, and all kinds of cheers came from the curtains.
Outside the tent, some clowns and jugglers showed off their unique skills, attracting attention.
"The Mysterious Circus - it should be here." Aurelius held the ice cream and paid for it with a drog - this is the currency of the magic world of the Magnesium Kingdom, and is roughly equivalent to the British gold galleons.
Aurelius wanted to confirm whether this mysterious circus was the target he was looking for.
Aurelius felt that it was most likely because of the slogan of this circus: Monsters and Strange People!
He was very curious. The magical community in Magnesia disliked magical animals very much. They believed that magical creatures might expose the wizarding community.
Then...how was this circus allowed to come to New York?
As people entered the tent, Aurelius looked around.
This place looks no different from an ordinary circus.
Because he came in a little late, he missed the first part of the performance.
The clown who was juggling was holding three fireballs in his hand and turning them upside down. He was stepping on a metal rod suspended in mid-air, shaking and making all kinds of exaggerated and funny movements. But in his hand, His kung fu was very hard, and it was thrilling every time, but he never let the fireball fall to the ground.
This received warm applause from the entire audience.
The clown made his final bow, and a man with a full face and a big beard came out wearing a top hat. He was the circus leader and the host.
"Gentlemen! Ladies! At the Mystic Circus, you will see the most magical performance in the world! Clowns? Dancers? No! They have special skills, but they are not magical enough!" The bearded man shouted with a smile. Warmly announced: "Next! Let us enjoy a magical performance and welcome the Orc-Jon with applause!"
The audience applauded generously, even if they didn't know what an orc was.
Soon, the host left the stage and a thunderous roar sounded, startling the audience.
A tall, snow-white figure jumped from the roof of the tent and landed heavily in the center of the stage.
He landed like a superhero, with his body covered in snow-white fur, full of muscles, and a wild animal skin skirt wrapping his lower body.
Slowly rise to the beat of the drums.
A—bear? !
No, no, no, no!
There is a difference between humans and bears!
The one in front of me, roaring fiercely at the surroundings, was a strange man about two feet tall, with white hair all over his body and the head of a white bear!
Mystery Circus - Monsters and Oddities.
Well-deserved reputation!
The audience applauded enthusiastically, but Aurelius's eyes changed.
Silent's superb vision allowed him to clearly see that there was something unnatural about Jon's snow-white fur, and the hairless skin was covered by the surrounding hair.
Aurelius was also familiar with the hideous scars. He looked at his palms and saw that they were the marks left by Mary's previous punishment - he must have received a lot of whips.
