Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#481 - Eavesdropping (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
As soon as she plunged into the protective shield, Châteauroux immediately retracted her strength and began to flounder in place, afraid that rushing in too hard would expose her.
Upon entering the interior, Châteauroux felt a blur before her eyes, and the surrounding scenery instantly became unfamiliar. Having been blocked by the barrier all along, she finally had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the entire breeding base.
Beneath her feet and beside her was a stone road artificially laid out, extending along the outermost edge of the hemispherical protective shield, curving in an arc to the end of her vision.
At the same time, at intervals along this circular ring road, a side road branched off, stretching toward the center of the circular base.
After converging inward for a distance, these roads would encounter another, smaller circular ring road, intersecting with it.
These concentric circular arcs appeared every few tens or hundreds of meters.
This distribution made the entire breeding base look like a circular spider web or a dartboard magnified thousands of times when viewed from above.
Between these roads were neatly divided animal enclosures.
Some of the enclosures were completely open-air, with soft, comfortable lawns laid on the ground. The magical creatures inside didn't look very energetic, but the environment was relatively comfortable.
Of course, many enclosures were covered with entire pieces of weather-resistant tarpaulin, just like what Anduin saw at the Scamander's house.
Not far from where Châteauroux was, there was a large enclosure housing eight Re'em cattle.
At this moment, these Re'em cattle were staring at Châteauroux, sizing each other up. Perhaps they thought this bat posed no threat, so they just stared at her blankly.
When Châteauroux looked up into the distance, she discovered something that left her speechless. At the intersections of these crisscrossing roads, there were many magic lamps for lighting.
Châteauroux recognized at a glance that these were all products sold by Silver Flash Commerce, and the cheapest, standardized imitation oil lamp lanterns. This row of neatly arranged lanterns illuminated the entire base brightly.
“Damn it, this crappy club is quite generous, actually taking care of our business so well. But can't you buy something better? You only know how to use this cheap stuff.” Trapped in enemy territory, Châteauroux was in a good mood and even had the mind to complain.
But just as she had sized up the surrounding environment, she immediately heard footsteps and faint voices coming from the side.
Hearing this, Châteauroux was startled. She darted forward and plunged into the Re'em cattle enclosure in front of her.
There was no other way. The view on the road was too open, and there was nowhere for her to hide.
After rushing into the enclosure, Châteauroux landed immediately, then plunged into the grass, even pulling down her erect bat ears with her claws, leaving only two round eyes to observe the surroundings.
Just as she had nervously hidden herself, the footsteps from afar grew louder and louder. Soon, two wizards walked past the enclosure side by side, chatting idly.
“Speaking of which, since we switched to these magic lamps a few months ago, the entire park has been much brighter. I wish we could use these magic lamps when training outside.” A wizard in hunting clothes said listlessly.
“Don't even think about it. The boss said long ago that these magic lamps can only be used in the park. Their light is too bright, and there's no shielding magic outside. Using these lamps would increase the risk of exposure.”
The other wizard in a robe shook his head. At this moment, the corner of his eye caught sight of his shoelace being loose, so he simply stopped walking, strode to the Re'em cattle enclosure, and propped his foot on the railing, leisurely tying his shoelace.
The place where this wizard was standing was exactly where Châteauroux was hiding. She was startled by the patrolman and almost cried out, but luckily she covered her mouth in time.
“It's so boring. When patrolling outside, there's no one around except a dog. Isn't it scary when it's dark all around?” The wizard in hunting clothes didn't look very old and his voice was slightly immature.
“You idiot, if you found someone around, that would be a big deal.” The wizard in the long windbreaker tied his shoelaces several times, but they were all knotted, and he impatiently turned his head and shouted.
Then he looked at his companion with a teasing expression, “But how old are you? Why are you still so timid? Are you still afraid of the dark?”
“In my opinion, patrolling outside is much more interesting than staying in this crappy birdcage all the time. At least you can breathe some fresh air outside. What else can you smell in here besides the stench of animal droppings.”
Speaking, he glared at the Re'em cattle in the enclosure in front of him, “I'm talking about you guys. Your poop stinks so much. Don't you know how to pay attention to personal hygiene!”
Then he looked at his companion with anticipation, “Not to mention that when patrolling outside, you can use the new equipment that the boss has equipped for the park!”
This windbreaker wizard looked unshaven and was much older than the hunter wizard next to him, and seemed quite brave.
“Are you talking about that strangely shaped vest?” The hunter wizard curled his lips in disgust, “That thing looks so ugly, without any decoration. It doesn't look very powerful at all. Are you bragging?”
At this time, Châteauroux, who was carefully hiding behind the railing, couldn't help but chuckle after hearing the wizard's complaint. She strongly agreed with this wizard's point of view!
As the chief designer in Silver Flash Commerce, Châteauroux had long been displeased with those tactical vests. She had always wanted to make some 'beautification' designs for those vests, but this was strongly opposed by Anduin, as if to express his final stubbornness.
Her master only valued practicality and did not agree with Châteauroux adding decorations to the tactical vest, insisting on retaining that ugly appearance, and even painting some colorful camouflage on it, which almost made Châteauroux cry.
The windbreaker wizard next to him immediately stopped tying his shoelaces when he heard his companion's words, and glared fiercely at the hunter wizard next to him.
“You know nothing. That vest is designed for combat. It's better to be as simple and convenient as possible. If you add some strange decorations, wouldn't the opponent laugh their teeth out during combat.”
Châteauroux curled her lips unhappily when she heard this. If her master heard this wizard's words, he might regard him as a confidant.
“Besides, how can you arbitrarily think that the equipment is no good if you haven't seen it?” The windbreaker wizard reprimanded a little angrily, then mysteriously beckoned to his companion, signaling him to lean over.
The hunter wizard also curiously leaned his head over, and then the windbreaker wizard whispered, “I'm telling you, I secretly tried that vest when it first arrived, and the effect was better than I imagined. Even if someone is hiding in a corner and secretly casting spells on you, that vest will automatically raise a human-shaped iron armor curse. With your current spellcasting level, I can stand and let you attack for half a minute and you won't be able to break through my defense.”
“Really? Human-shaped iron armor curse? I still can't use this spell. Can that vest cast spells automatically?” The hunter wizard looked at the other party in disbelief.
“Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes, but don't tell anyone else, otherwise I'll definitely not spare you.” The windbreaker wizard said, waving his fist at the other party as a demonstration.
“Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I didn't mention to anyone that John secretly ate 'Buzzing Honey' in the Billywig bug's nest last time.” The hunter wizard smiled honestly, and then asked curiously, “You said this vest is so powerful, where did the boss get it from? I've never heard of such a thing before.”
The windbreaker wizard looked at his companion speechlessly. He seemed to have heard something strange. Could it be that John's floating in the sky and spinning around after being stung by a Billywig bug last time wasn't an accident?
His brain crashed for a moment before he reacted, “Ah, you're asking about that vest. That equipment seems to be an imported product. It is said that it is imported from a company called 'Silver Flash Alchemy Development Company', just like the magic lamps used in the park now.”
“Oh? This alchemy company is so powerful that it has even done business in West Germany?” The hunter wizard sighed with a hint of envy, “It's a pity that we can only go out once every six months and have to delete the memories of working in the park. Otherwise, I would want to buy some magic lamps for my family now. What do you say is happening outside now? We don't even know.”
“Hehe, you're thinking too beautifully, but even if you go out, you probably won't be able to buy it. According to the people who just came in for the shift, these magic lamps are only sold in East Germany.” The windbreaker wizard shrugged helplessly.
“Ah? Why? What's wrong with West Germany compared to East Germany? Why don't they sell them here? Are those East Germans doing something behind our backs?” The hunter wizard complained angrily.
“How would I know? We have to stay in this park for more than half a year at a time. We probably wouldn't even know if the outside world changed. If it weren't for the high amount of Galleons and the boss's guarantee, who would want to stay here.” The windbreaker wizard sighed dejectedly.
“If we find that West Germany has achieved independence after we go out next time, otherwise we still have to live under the same roof as those East Germans.” The hunter wizard muttered indignantly.
“Who knows.” The windbreaker wizard rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this. Young people are young people. They are brainwashed by others and can't find their way around.
