Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

Wang Xuebin complained in his heart, but his face did not change at all. At this time, he was walking through the Floo network.

Hogsmeade is located in the north of Scotland, and Diagon Alley is located in the center of London. If you want to get to Hogsmeade from Diagon Alley, you have to travel at least a thousand kilometers.

Such a distance, unless you use a Portkey, there is no way to reach it instantly, not even Floo Powder!

Because the Portkey can transport multiple people over a long distance in a short time, it is listed as a first-class restricted item by the Ministry of Magic.

Not only is it illegal to hold a Portkey without permission, but even learning the magic of making a Portkey is strictly regulated!

There are no more than ten people who can make Portkeys in the whole of the UK, and everyone has 24-hour follow-up protection around them.

People who can make portkeys are like people who can make intercontinental missiles, each is a national treasure!

With Wang Xuebin's status, of course he couldn't apply for a portkey, not to mention he had no status, even if he had a noble status, no one would spend a lot of energy making a portkey for him to travel to Hogsmeade!

Therefore, he can only take the next best thing and choose this uncomfortable way of travel.

At this time, Wang Xuebin seemed to be crushed into a ball, thrown into the toilet, and was drawn into the sewer along with the green flames, spinning and rolling along the winding pipes.

Difficulty in breathing, as if there is a big stone pressing on the chest, when you open your eyes, you can see a dazzling green light, and there will be a puff of dust from time to time, which makes people want to cough, but you just can't cough.

This feeling can definitely be called torture!

One point...two points...ten points...twenty points...

'Boom! '

There was a bang, and the fireplace in the empty Hogsmeade station lit up with gorgeous green flames, and Wang Xuebin, who was covered in dust, sat on the ground against the inner wall of the fireplace, disheveled and embarrassed.

"cough cough..."

For half an hour, he suffocated in the Floo network for half an hour. He swore that next time he would rather fly by himself than take this disgusting way of travel...

so torturous...

"Cough cough..."

Wang Xuebin grabbed the upper edge of the fireplace, stood up slowly, brushed off the dust on his body, and coughed twice again.

I took out a mirror and looked, as expected, a black coal ball, turned to look at the fireplace that seemed to have never been cleaned, shook his head helplessly, turned and left.

Although this fireplace is connected to the Floo network, it has never been used at all. People in Hogsmeade have no need to use it at all. They can directly take a broomstick nearby and a wizard bus directly in the distance.

There is no one like Wang Xuebin who foolishly uses Floo powder to run long distances. Isn't this a crime?

Wang Xuebin still opened the fire for the first time for the fireplace here, which also proves that the idiots in the Ministry of Magic did not come up with the design out of thin air. The world is so big, there will always be fools...

......

Both Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are in a national park called Cairngorms in northern Scotland.

The environment here is superior, the population is sparsely populated, and various animal and plant resources are very rich. Of course, the main reason is that the four major builders of Hogwarts like it.

Hogsmeade Station is a row of uneven houses with a railway in front of them, which was specially built for the Hogwarts Express.

Going west along the railway, it will not take long to step on a gravel path, and then walk about 500 meters along the path, and you will see the fork leading to Hogwarts.

The fork in the road is very wide. Every year, except for the newly enrolled students, everyone else has to take a car pulled by a Thestral to go to school along the edge of the forbidden forest at this intersection. As for the new students, they have to go a little further to the pier to take a boat!

Wang Xuebin is not a student of Hogwarts, so naturally he can't come and go here at will. If he wants to go to Hogsmeade, he has to continue along this road.

The temperature in the UK in January is already very low, and Wang Xuebin is in the Scottish Highlands, so the temperature is even lower.

The thick snow had not yet melted, and was blown into ice by the cold air. With Wang Xuebin's footwork, it would not slip, but the creaking sound of that step was really annoying.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wang Xuebin finally saw the outline of Hogsmeade. He rubbed his stiff hands, tightened his coat, raised his real energy, and started to twitch on his feet.

In terms of rushing, there is nothing faster than the combination of lightness kung fu and elemental magic, but because there are too many pedestrians around, he doesn't want to miss his trump card.

That's right, there are people from Hogwarts all around!

Today is Sunday, and it is the day when Hogwarts students come out for a walk. Along the way, you can see many Hogwarts students gathering and traveling, laughing and playing, not affected by the severe winter cold in the slightest.

Looking at the students who were having fun and having snowball fights, Wang Xuebin seemed to be much younger. He remembered that when he was in school, he also liked snowing the most.

At this time, he can pick up his favorite dustpan and happily go out to recognize his son.

Anyone who doesn't want to be his son will be covered with white beards by his dustpan. Of course, sometimes he will have multiple fathers when he meets a bucket...

I didn't say anything, we are just so embarrassed, we can afford it!

"Arthur, hurry up, Madam Puddife's teahouse is about to run out of places!"

"Wait...wait...Molly Xiaoshudder...wait for me...hey!"

"Be careful..."

Looking at the reckless guy who hit his back, Wang Xuebin smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and said:

"...red-haired boy, reckless men don't please girls..."

As he said, he stretched out his hand to hook, and helped the boy who almost tripped up.

"...Also, it's better for the two of you to call each other in private. You're not afraid of embarrassing girls if you call them in public?"

"what!!!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, the girl who was worriedly looking at the boy she liked suddenly ran away covering her face.

"Uh...I'm so sorry, sir..."

The red-haired guy in front of him was slightly stunned, apologized sincerely to Wang Xuebin, and then hurriedly chased after the girl.

Sure enough, adolescent men and women can't tolerate other people in their eyes. They are indeed a model couple who have given birth to seven children.

"Wait for me...Molly...you run slowly..."

"Oh! Weasley, you're exactly the same as Ron!"

He smiled slightly, shook his head, put his hands in his coat pockets, and continued walking.

The sky here is a bit gloomy, and it looks like it's about to snow. Before it snows, he has to find a place to live no matter what.

Although he bought a luxurious magic tent, the comfort level of the tent is not as comfortable as that of the house after all.

This is the magical world, after all, and houses can cast spells just as well as tents, so why would people live in houses if tents were really more comfortable than houses?

"Hiss~ I remember that Professor McGonagall also lived in Hogsmeade, when did he come..."

Chapter 425 Online Shopping and Buying a House

Hogsmeade is the only all-wizard village in England. There are no Muggles in the whole village. Of course, there are no Muggles, but there are still some Squibs.

Squib is a discriminatory term in the wizarding world. It discriminates against not only those purebloods who can't use magic, but also those Muggles who don't know magic at all.

Otherwise, you can't use magic, so why are those with wizard blood called Squibs, and those without wizard blood called Muggles?

After all, the root cause still falls on discrimination!

Discrimination is an original sin, be it racial discrimination or gender discrimination, as long as the world cannot achieve the advanced stage of socialism, discrimination will never be eradicated!

Because the root of discrimination is the distribution of benefits!

The benefits are not enough to be distributed to everyone, so we have to divide them into different classes, and use various excuses to deprive some people of the right to distribute benefits. This kind of excuse is discrimination!

Of course, as to whether the benefits are really not enough to be distributed to everyone, or those with vested interests are unwilling to distribute the benefits to everyone, the way...

Hey, no one can tell...

The Two Broomsticks is a newly opened pub in Hogsmeade. Compared with the original Pig's Head Pub, the newly opened Two Broomsticks is obviously more popular with the public.

Just because the boss is a plump and stunning woman named Rosmerta!

Rosmerta is also a graduate of Hogwarts, and his whereabouts after graduation is unknown, but there are some Chinese rumors circulating, saying that Rosmerta has gone to be the mistress of some important person.

I don't know if it's true or not, and no one will study it for this matter. Even Rita Skeeter will not risk offending some important person to hear some rumors.

Besides, this illegal Animagus is just a trainee reporter now, far less rampant than later generations!

Oh, by the way, Two Broomsticks will change its name to Three Broomsticks in a few years. Why the name change is unclear, maybe the boss is happy...

"Welcome to the Two Broomsticks, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Have a glass of lemonade, keep it warm, it's too cold, I have to warm myself up!"

The fireplace in the bar is burning, separating the inside and outside of the bar into two worlds.

Wang Xuebin stomped the snow on his feet at the door, dusted off the dust on his body, looked around, picked a seat at the bar and sat down.

"Mister is very unfamiliar. Is there any work to do when you come to Hogsmeade?"

While making lemonade, Rosmerta chatted casually. It may be because women like to be clean. The utensils used in the bar are quite delicate and clean, which is the most satisfactory that Wang Xuebin has encountered in recent days.

"Woohoo, traveling around the world, I heard about Hogsmeade's name, so I came here to see if there is any property for sale here, and if there is any chance to live here for a while!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Rosmerta paused, then turned his head happily, and said with a smile:

"Oh, what a coincidence, sir, this is really the right time, you must know that I just bought a property here a few days ago, and I am quite clear about the real estate transactions here.

I will contact the real estate agent for you in a while. That girl is not only a real estate agent, but also has some connections with Gringotts. If you need to apply for a loan, you can also contact her. For my sake, she will definitely calculate the maximum for you. Great Rates! "

Rosmerta treats people with great enthusiasm, and it is the kind of enthusiasm that does not go beyond, and the sense of proportion in conversation is very strong. If he is in the Muggle world, he will be an excellent social butterfly.

"Oh? What a coincidence?"

Wang Xuebin took off the scarf wrapped around his neck, took off the hat on his head, put it on the bar, and said with a smile:

"If there is a house available and the procedures are processed quickly, I will give her a generous agency fee. Believe me, money is not a problem!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Rosmerta raised his eyebrows, with a delicate smile on the corner of his mouth, put the brewed lemonade on the cup holder in front of Wang Xuebin, took out a pile of salted plums, and put them together.

"I pickled the plums myself, and it's a housewarming gift for the new neighbors in advance. Believe me, Lytle is definitely the best real estate agent. I'll call her right now!"

As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Wang Xuebin, took off his rose-red apron, wiped his hands with a wine-red square towel in the console, nodded, pushed open the bar partition, and slowly left the bar.

"Hey! Brother, how is it? Our boss, Romy, is in good shape!"

The sound coming from beside him awakened Wang Xuebin who was in deep thought. He turned his head and saw a bald guy in a red and green robe.

I don't know if it is a British tradition, but Wang Xuebin has seen many people with hairline problems.

Tom was bald, Hendry had a receding hairline, and Ollivander had a fine hairline, but his shaggy curls, apparently meant to hide something, were too thin.

It's good now, at an age that looks like twenty years old, he has completely become a monk, really... It's not too cold...

Today is the day when Hogwarts students come out to enjoy the air, and there are not many people in the bar. Of course, the students will not show their faces after all, and they are embarrassed to sit at the bar.

Therefore, there are only Wang Xuebin and this young man in red and green robes at the bar.

"You are..."

"Haha, I'm the only owl breeder at the Hogsmeade Post Office, and all the owls in the post office are under my control!"

The bald boy took out his identity badge and proudly pinned it on his chest. The postman is a public servant anyway, so he naturally has the right to be proud!

The owl is the most mainstream postal tool in the wizarding world. It is obedient, fast, easy to feed, and the key point is that it hides at night and is easy to keep secret. Of course, some evil wizards call this thing a food reserve...

Wang Xuebin also considered whether to buy a pet before, but he still didn't make up his mind after all.

He is not a person who likes to keep pets, not to mention cats and dogs, he has even raised turtles and loaches to death, and he cannot guarantee to take good care of them, so naturally he has no intention of harming them.

As for animals, he likes them in the same way as Teacher Yu, they are always inseparable. As for living things, he generally keeps them at a respectful distance...

"The postman? What services can the post office provide?"

I didn't buy a pet, so I didn't buy an owl, and there was no one to contact, so why do you want an owl?

"Service, that's a lot!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin ask him what he was most proud of, the bald head obviously became more energetic.

"We not only provide mailing and postal services, but also provide services such as newspaper ordering, purchasing and selling on behalf of others!

Everything in Europe, no matter magic or Muggle, as long as you want to buy, you can contact us! "

Hearing this, Wang Xuebin's eyes obviously brightened a lot. He really didn't expect that online shopping can be done in the magic world, and it will be much more convenient now!

"Wow! That's amazing! Haven't asked your name, sir?"

"Emerson, don't disturb my guest!"

Rosmerta, who was dressed in a purple robe, pushed the door in, and behind her was a girl with long pale blond hair.

This girl looks young, and her expression is a little dazed, but the clothes on her body are out of tune with this village, obviously her identity is not ordinary.

"H-Hello... My name is Lytle Greengrass, are you buying a house?"
