In general, the experience of the Kent family proves that the old-fashioned aristocrats in the American wizarding world are not fools.

On the contrary, they are even smarter than the native pure-blood aristocrats. Many native pure-blood aristocrats think that the idea that they like to lick themselves without thinking is completely wrong.

In fact, in their hearts, honor is important, but what can really make them pursue is only profit.

Therefore, only pure-blood nobles like the Foley family who can bring benefits to them and whose bloodline is extremely noble can be sought after by them. And second-rate families like the Kent family, who just want to take advantage of them, can only be played as monkeys by them, and they will be thrown into the countryside to fend for themselves after they are eaten and wiped away.

Mike silently closed the document, feeling quite inwardly.

There are no fools in this world who can rank high.

But at the same time, he also felt some doubts, because the current location of the Kent family was not indicated on this document.

Abbott on the side seemed to see through Mike's mind. He smiled and poured a cup of tea for Mike, and explained slowly:

"The Kent family left New York after their failure, and now they're living in a place called Fox."

"Fox?"

"Yes, I know, this name is exactly the same as Dumbledore's Phoenix, but this Fox is a place name, it's a poor town." Abbott waved his hand and continued to explain, "Also, this Fox Township is indeed a very interesting place. In addition to ordinary Muggles, there are also a group of werewolves and vampires living in it."

"Wolfman?"

Mike's brows furrowed. Werewolves, the creatures that spread the werewolf virus everywhere, are the targets of severe crackdowns in the country. As for the vampires, not to mention vampires, they are basically human enemies who feed on human blood in the country. Killed by wizards.

"You just said a group, that is to say, there are a lot of them?"

"It's quite a lot, there are about a hundred or so in total."

"It's impossible." Mike shook his head and said, "The population of a small town simply cannot support so many werewolves and vampires to survive.

And such a large-scale black magic creature group, the Magic Congress of the United States should not sit idly by! "

Abbott was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization:

"You may be misunderstanding something, Mike. The United States is different from the United States, especially when it comes to the race of intelligent and magical creatures. The Ministry of Magic of the United States has a very strong attitude towards such creatures, but the United States seems to be Some ambiguous, such as the group of vampires and werewolves. The Magic Congress of the United States allows them to live on the soil of the United States, but it does not allow them to harm any Muggle or wizard. As long as they violate the rules, then they are waiting for a dead end. "

"Ha, this rule is ridiculous!" Zhou Hong suddenly came out of the side and said, "Dogs can't stop eating shit, how can they expect that group of monsters to resist their instincts?"

Mike nodded, he felt the same way.

"But in fact they did succeed." Abbott shook his head with a smile and said, "The group of vampires are now said to have stopped drinking human blood, and instead drink animal blood. Of course, this is at the cost of their own strength decline. Yes, after all, their power comes from blood. As for those werewolves, hehe, they are almost domesticating themselves into puppies."

"But it's all worth it, and you know how bad things are in Europe and elsewhere, but in the U.S., at least they can be protected by law." Abbott seemed to suddenly think of something funny The same laughed, "Haha! Legal protection! Hahahaha!"

Mike and Zhou Hong, you look at me, I look at you, they are all confused.

The two of them didn't get any laughs.

Fortunately, Abbott stopped laughing for a while, and explained to Mike and Zhou Hong:

"After listening to me just now, you should think that the United States is a good place to pay attention to human rights?"

Zhou Hong nodded, he really thought so, but Mike was silent.

"It's like this, at least on paper, it's true in the United States, but in reality it's different. Take the group of werewolves and vampires in Fox Town, for example, any wizard can bully them and even kill them. They won't be punished by the law. But if they hurt the wizard, then... hehehe." Abbott said meaningfully, "There are more of these things, you can fully understand them by looking at them more. Here it is. In short, this country is a paradise for people like us!"

Zhou Hong looked at Abbot with a dull expression, the other party's words had a great impact on his innocent heart.

And Mike pondered for a moment and said:

"That is to say, those vampires and werewolves in Fox Township may be threatened by the Kent family against us?"

"There is indeed such a possibility. After all, there is only one wizard of the Kent family in the town of Fox, and those black magic creatures have no right to refuse." Abbott said, "But it doesn't matter, the Kent family has a small population and is not strong enough. Strong, even if you add those black magic creatures, it's not worth mentioning."

Hearing that, Mike nodded with satisfaction. For him, the Kent family is the most important thing. As for things like the United States, he is not very interested. After all, he has seen enough similar things in his previous life. Well, now it seems that this American wizarding world is not much different from the Muggle United States in his impression.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these serious topics." Abbott said with great interest, "Franklin and the others have been arranged to rest in the room, anyway, we can't act for the time being, why don't we go shopping in the square today? "

Mike shook his head and instinctively wanted to refuse. He was not very interested in visiting the so-called American scenery. If he had that effort, he might as well rest and prepare for battle.

But Abbott obviously didn't intend to just give up. Seeing Mike shaking his head, he immediately looked at Zhou Hong, who was still in a state of doubt about his life, and said in a bewitching tone:

"Is this little brother Zhou Hong? Aren't you very confused about the things I said before? Wouldn't it be better to go and see with us? I believe that after you have observed it with your own eyes for a while, you will definitely have yourself s answer."

As soon as this statement came out, Zhou Hong's originally dull expression instantly became vivid, but he did not agree immediately, but turned his head to look at Mike with expectant eyes.

Mike sighed helplessly, and finally nodded slowly under the expectant eyes of Abbott and Zhou Hong.

...

Half an hour later, Mike, Abbott, and Zhou Hong arrived at Plaza Street through the Floo network.

Unlike the country, the public floo network teleportation point on Square Street is not some kind of store like the Leaky Cauldron, but a large building with a huge space inside, similar to a Muggle subway station.

In fact, this is indeed the magic version of the 'subway station'. As one of the transportation hubs of the magic world in the United States, there are a wide variety of fireplaces here, and the most important thing is that these fireplaces are well received. Maintenance, users do not have to worry about the dust in the fireplace will stain their clothes.

Such a scene surprised Zhou Hong and Mike. This centralized station is much more advanced than the one over there, and it is even better than the hall of the Ministry of Magic in the country.

Abbott shook his head with emotion, which was almost the same reaction when he first came.

"This Fireplace Station is indeed much better than Diagon Alley, but it's actually due to historical reasons." He explained, "You must know that this station was only built in the last two hundred years, and Diagon Alley has nearly It's thousands of years old, so it's normal that it looks more advanced here."

Neither Mike nor Zhou Hong spoke. The former simply thought that Abbott was arguing, while the latter's attention had already been taken away by the coming and going passengers.

The tourists here are very strange. Unlike Diagon Alley, the travelers in this station are not only human wizards, but also a large number of goblins, house-elves, centaurs, and many strange people who Zhou Hong can't name at all. biology!

Such a scene would never appear in the country. The proud wizards of the country would never allow these low-level creatures to share a fireplace with themselves. Even staying under the same roof with them would make the wizards feel humiliated.

Even Gringotts goblins, a respectable group that seems to have achieved a very high social status, have a lot of restrictions in this regard, such as their restaurant and the wizarding staff's restaurant are separated from each other. Shared lunches never happen in Gringotts.

It is different here, so many kinds of complex creatures not only gather together, but also get along very comfortably between them.

Zhou Hong even saw a tall wizard chatting and laughing with a house elf. Judging from the uniforms they wore, they should not be masters and servants, but colleagues.

But although everything here seems to be very harmonious and beautiful, Zhou Hong, who has a talent for reading minds, sees another scene.

The tall wizard was full of contempt and discrimination against his house elf at the same time, and the house elf thought his colleague was a waste. If it wasn't for his identity as a wizard, then the other party was not qualified to work with him at all.

This kind of thing abounds in this hall, everyone is smiling and coexisting harmoniously on the surface, but deep down is full of malice.

This kind of thing not only happens between human wizards and other intelligent creatures, but even these creatures who are ethnic minorities themselves are still hating each other, believing that the other party enjoys more preferential treatment than themselves.

All this made Zhou Hong feel horrified.

At this time, there was Mike's greeting from Zhou Hong's side. He took a closer look, and it turned out that Abbott had finished telling the history of this station and was going to take the two to the next location. .

Zhou Hong shook his head and threw all the weird thoughts out of his mind, then quickly followed Mike's pace.

Walking out of the station, what appeared in front of Mike and Zhou Hong was a spacious street surrounded by high-rise buildings. This was the commercial center of the American Magic World, Plaza Street.

Compared with the commercial center of Diagon Alley, which is more like a pedestrian street, Square Street is obviously more like a modern CBD (Central Business District). The flat road marked with a yellow line in the center of the street is a two-way lane for vehicles. , at this time, a large number of vehicles are driving on it, but the types of these vehicles are somewhat complicated and the quality is uneven, ranging from high-end luxury night unicorn carriages to a pair of poor and tattered magically transformed cars.

Mike even saw a vicious-looking one-eyed goblin riding on a dinosaur-like leg standing, with its eyes and tongue sticking out, a silly lizard running in the lane at first glance, the speed was not slow!

But the one-eyed leprechaun seemed to have road rage, and he was waving a miniature halberd and yelling in the face of the crowded traffic.

On either side of the driveway are two equally wide sidewalks, which are much prettier than the bare driveway.

Not only are rows of trees planted on both sides of it, but the stone pavement beneath it has been released with magic and is emitting a soft white light. Whenever passers-by step on it, it will sputter a faint light and dust around it. , looks beautiful, and many young children are playing on the real sidewalk at the moment, taking pleasure in stepping out of the light and dust.

Of course, the flow of people on the sidewalk is naturally very crowded, and those playful bear children will naturally bump into some pedestrians, but the people here seem to be very friendly, even if they are knocked down, they will not blame the bears Children, hehe smiled and passed.

In addition, Mike also noticed that there are many shops on both sides of the sidewalk. These shops are very high-end just from their facades, at least they are much more advanced than the retro workshop-style small shops in Diagon Alley.

The number of shops here is also very large, and there are various shop signs suspended on the walls of the high-rise buildings, ranging from food, clothing, housing and transportation to leisure and entertainment.

And unlike Diagon Alley, the business competition here is very fierce, and there is no exclusive business at all.

Just after a short stroll, Mike has already seen three wand shops, five dessert shops and more than a dozen clothing shops. Compared with this place, Diagon Alley is like a small market in a small country town. Poor sour.

"It's the same reason, this commercial street was only built in the last few hundred years, so it looks a little newer. If the Ministry of Magic is willing to renovate Diagon Alley, it must be better! Well, that's it."

Abbott explained with an embarrassed expression, as a native pure-blood nobleman, he still looked down on these upstarts in the United States in his heart.

This sense of superiority forced him to be reluctant to admit the gap between them.
