The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 712: A City Within a City

Sceffen knew that because of his identity, many people in the Ministry of Magic of the country were dissatisfied with him.

Especially at this critical moment, his situation as a 'former from the Upper Realm' will inevitably become even more embarrassing.

But he didn't have any other ideas, he just hated those people staring at him suspiciously.

Taking a deep breath, Sceffen raised his head and recalled:

"You all know that I have lived in the family manor since I was a child. Compared with the metropolitan area we are now stretching out, the family manor I live in is actually much purer. There is no advanced technology there, and there is nothing People in fancy clothes don't have much entertainment.

The whole manor is actually similar to Hogwarts, covering a huge area, with an exclusive jungle hunting ground and a huge artificial lake.

Of course, the main building of the manor is not a stone castle, but an ordinary palace. And because of the small population, it looks very empty inside.

What I remember most is how clean it was.

Every corner of the manor is equipped with self-cleaning magic, and it is kept spotless and brand new every moment.

The people walking around inside were also wearing clean white robes, their bodies were extremely clean, and even their hair was puffy and dry.

We learn all kinds of knowledge there every day, whether it is swordsmanship, magic or reasoning, they are all compulsory courses for us.

But at the same time, it was filthy.

People who live there have black hearts.

They fight each other in the manor. Although they don't conflict on the surface, they often deliberately murder others because of some very young people, and even kill people.

And for this kind of thing, my father has always ignored it.

He seemed to relish our rivalry, even if that rivalry sometimes resulted in tragic death.

But I can understand him too.

After all, there are too many of his descendants and people who have the right to inherit.

If he doesn't compete with each other, he probably doesn't know how to choose.

"

Everyone listened to Sceffen's story with relish. There were secret stories about the elder family of the International Federation of Wizards, which was very attractive to them.

Even Link nodded again and again.

It's just that all he cares about is the way Sceffen's family raises their offspring.

Judging from Sceffen's description, although most of the ordinary residents and a small number of nobles in Sky City have gradually become "cyberpunk", or immersed in the happy life of rapid technological development.

But the top families in Sky City still maintain the same ancient training methods as the noble wizard families outside.

That is to say, keep the children at home and teach them in person, or hire tutors to conduct closed education.

This kind of education method can prevent children from being hurt by the outside world to the greatest extent, and can also make children's three views of thinking gradually develop in the direction they expect with the cooperation of parents and tutors.

But at the same time, there is also a probability that the child will be directly raised into a fool or lunatic with improper views.

The Black family has always pursued this educational philosophy before.

It's a pity that I don't know who listened to someone's flicker, gave up the original educational philosophy, and sent all the children to Hogwarts.

If the original education method was still maintained, Sirius would not be so rebellious.

The group of people who lived with Sceffen even lived a simpler life than the sons of noble wizards in the lower world, and the education they received was more rigorous, which was the most traditional way of education.

In Link's view, this is indeed necessary.

Of course, this is not to say that Link agrees with that traditional extreme education method.

Rather, it is indeed necessary to carry out extreme traditional education for the upper rulers in a place like Sky City where the "new wave of thinking" has become extreme.

Because only in this way can the small society in Sky City find a balance between tradition and trend.

Otherwise, once this balance is broken, there is no need for No. 1 to occupy Sky City to engage in "Sky City Deterrence".

It is estimated that the group of lunatics in the Sky City have already driven the Sky City to make troubles.

Newland obviously didn't think as much as Link thought, after hearing what Sceffen said, he couldn't wait to ask:

"You mean you used to have many brothers and sisters? What about them now? Why have I only heard of Iyeta? And she seems to be a peripheral member of the family? It stands to reason that she is not qualified to receive the same education as you of."

Hearing this, everyone around looked at Si Gefen more curiously.

They are in Sky City at this moment, and they are slowly advancing towards the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards in the central city of Sky City.

The information provided by Sceffen to them may be of great help to the next action.

However, Sceffen's expression suddenly became indifferent, and he said lightly:

"Guess how I was selected as the heir of the family before?"

As soon as this remark came out, Newland seemed to have thought of something, was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and almost put his hand in his mouth.

The rest of the people also looked weird.

The impression of Sceffen in their hearts is generally good, righteous and kind, and even a little pedantic.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to allow such a "celestial man" to sneak into the power center of the Ministry of Magic of the country.

It was precisely because of this that they really couldn't imagine that Sceffen could do that kind of thing.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't kill them all."

Sensing everyone's attention, Si Gefen said indifferently, "To be precise, they killed each other to the end and wanted to kill me. Then I fought back. You don't understand that group of people at all. How gloomy. If one of them really becomes an elder of the International Federation of Wizards, I'm afraid Sky City, no, wizards and Muggles all over the world will not have a good life!"

"Yes, you are right, I agree with your approach!"

Newland patted Sceffen on the shoulder lightly and said.

Others also gathered around at this time, comforting Sceffen one after another.

It's just that the weird expressions on their faces still haven't dissipated.

Sceffen's character obviously didn't meet old Harris' expectations for an heir, otherwise he wouldn't have kicked Sceffen out of Sky City later on.

Then why did Sceffen become the designated heir of old Harris again?

Apart from the fact that all the remaining candidate heirs are dead, no one can think of a second reason.

And as the only beneficiary, if Sceffen said that he didn't kill a lot, everyone would definitely not believe it.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, because of Link's bias, there are not many really clean and good people in the upper echelon of the Ministry of Magic in the whole country.

Among this group of people, someone like Sceffen could even be said to be noble.

While Link and the others were speaking, the bright moon above everyone's heads cracked a long and narrow gap again.

From Link's perspective, it's like a lifeless eyeball suddenly has pupils, comes alive, and keeps watching the city below.

It's just that the eyeball that appeared in front of everyone cast down not only the gaze, but also more members of the Sky City Defense Team in white robes.

This group of people rode the aircraft, dispersed into small groups directly in the space at an extremely fast speed, and dispersed into the sky city in small groups.

Not only that.

There is actually an artificial river as a barrier between the inner city and the outer city of Sky City. On weekdays, the road is connected by bridges, and there are also special light paths in the air.

At this moment, the artificial Hanoi in front of Link and the others suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

I saw the Hanoi river rising rapidly and flying out of the river in an almost strange manner, forming a translucent protective layer around the inner city group of Sky City.

And through the protective layer of constantly turbulent water flow, everyone can clearly see that all the buildings near the river outside the inner city are deforming, not only a large number of people in white robes are pouring out of them, but the buildings themselves are gradually It turned into the appearance of the previous city defense towers that were smashed by the dragon controlled by Link.

"The outer walls of Sky City have been unfolded, which shows that we are now really threatening the enemies in the International Federation of Wizards."

Sceffen pointed to the huge water flow wall that suddenly appeared in front of him and said.

"Outer city wall?" Newland questioned with some eccentricity, "If my memory is correct, we seem to have entered the Sky City, right? Who built the outer city wall in the city center? You must be confused, right?" ?”

After hearing the words, many people who accompanied him turned their heads and looked over.

Although they recognized Sceffen's character, it didn't mean they would fully believe what he just said.

After all, Sceffen's sentence just now had a serious language problem, and it was extremely unreasonable.

Sceffen was not annoyed when he saw this, he just looked at Newland with eyes like an idiot and said:

"Although I was locked up in the manor all day long when I was young, and I didn't visit Sky City myself, I still learned a little about the history of Sky City through books. Regarding the outer city wall, I would like to ask you one thing first. .

Do you think that Sky City has such a scale from the very beginning? "

Newland was a little annoyed by Sceffen's gaze, and just about to refute, Sceffen said first:

"Of course it's impossible!

The sages who first created the sky city, no matter how smart and great they are, their vision is limited due to the relationship of the times.

When Sky City was founded, they never thought of developing Sky City into the super metropolis it is today. At that time, their thoughts were all on the "International Federation of Wizards", and they just regarded it as an arrangement It's just a 'dorm room' for my own small life!

Later, due to the war on the ground, more and more people wanted to live in Sky City, so they were unable to use magic to expand Sky City for a total of two rounds.

The first round of expansion was to expand the original headquarters building of the International Federation of Wizards, making it a magnificent giant building like it is today.

The second round of expansion was to expand out of the current inner city, which was also the last round of expansion carried out by the first generations of sages.

In this round of expansion, the sages not only considered people's livelihood issues, but also security issues.

Therefore, an 'outer city wall' was set up in the open area on the edge of the town, and defensive facilities were erected in it.

Out of respect for the sages, the subsequent rulers of Sky City have never changed this urban planning. It's just that various modifications are made inside the town to meet the needs of the residents. "

"You're wrong, right?" Newland frowned. "According to what you said, what's going on with the place we're staying now? Isn't this part of Sky City?"

Nulan didn't speak when he heard the words, but just looked at Nulan quietly with a mysterious smile on his face.

And Link said with a smile:

"Strictly speaking, this place, which is what we call the outer city of Sky City, does not belong to Sky City. At least according to the official definition of the International Federation of Wizards, it is like this."

"But it's obviously not right! It's obvious here..."

Newland's words stopped abruptly, as if he suddenly thought of something, his face was very ugly.

Sceffen and Link really made their words very clear.

The outer city is not actually recognized by the International Federation of Wizards as part of Sky City.

So what is the building built on the outer city where they are now?

The answer is simple.

If it is not recognized, it is naturally an illegal building.

Newland was familiar with such things.

Because the place where he and his mother lived before was strictly speaking an illegal building.

Even Spinning Shuo Lane itself should not exist.

There was only one factory in this place earlier, and the surrounding houses were all illegally built by workers to accommodate their families. ZF has never really admitted the existence of Spinning Shuo Lane.

Of course, they didn't come here specifically to criticize the behavior of the residents of Spinning Shuo Lane, but instead took an attitude of ignoring the increasing number of illegal buildings here.

No, in fact, it cannot be said to be ignored, because they are actually secretly encouraging residents to carry out illegal construction in such places.

In order to prevent accidents, they also hired a group of architects in the name of the factory to help everyone build houses.

From ZF's point of view, the benefits of doing so are too many.

For example, ZF does not need to be in charge of remediating the environmental problems near the residential area of ​​Fangshuo Lane, nor does it need to do any infrastructure construction for the residents of Fangshuo Lane, such as hospitals, schools, police stations...

None of these things need to be configured for the Spinning Shuttle Lane.

After all, this place itself is an industrial area, so people shouldn't live there.

And the residents of Spinning Shuo Lane didn't dare to look for these things that the ZF asked for.

They are afraid that their only residence will be demolished in the name of illegal construction.

The outer city of Sky City is similar.

It's just that Sky City has gone too far in this regard, because the particularity of Sky City prevents the lower-level residents from building residential areas privately like the residents of Fangsuo Lane.

So they directly intervened in the construction of the outer city, expanded the space for the existence of the outer city, and made basic urban planning.

They even built a huge number of underground complete houses for the outer city similar to the inner city, as well as peripheral defensive towers.

Of course, the existence of these things is not to protect the lives of residents in the outer city.

The rulers of the inner city have bigger plans and plots in it.
