The Periodic Table of Words and Spirits at Hogwarts Chapter 96

It is now 1993, January 1, New Year's Day in China.

The blue-painted Gulfstream airliner traveled freely in the blue Pacific Ocean. The weather is not very good now, it is a little gloomy, and it is snowing lightly.

The front is the airspace of China, but now the visibility is very poor, and the weather is very bad, landing is a great challenge for the pilot.

But fortunately, the Atrium Orochi had just been refueled at Narita Airport in the Hiwa Islands. Because of this incident, Astoria and Zhang Qi had to stay in Tokyo for about six hours.

If you arrive 6 hours earlier, the weather here will be even worse.

At least Zhang Qi doesn't want to take his life here because of the landing accident.

Zhang Qi came here in the name of discussing the purchase of the Tomcat with Shenzhou, and Hekmedia's affairs in the company have been busy recently, so she did not take the plane in person this time.

Due to the weather, the plane first landed at Narita Airport in Tokyo for pilot trimming and fuel supply.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Qi, who was hungry, took Astoria to the airport to pick up a hand card to prove his identity, and then went to a nearby snack bar to enjoy authentic sushi and ramen.

Astoria's appetite was obviously much stronger than before, and she ate a whole bowl of bone broth ramen in one go.

Of course, Zhang Qi ate two bowls and a large bowl of miso soup.

And it was purely out of fear of scaring the old man who sold ramen, so he deliberately ate a lot less.

"Well, I remember you once told me that the earth is round, so why don't we just fly eastward?"

Astoria took a big mouthful of noodle soup, then wiped her mouth lightly with a tissue.

"Ukraine and Russia have issued no-fly notices, and the weather there seems to be particularly bad, so all civil flights have been temporarily suspended."

Zhang Qi replied.

But the truth is not so.

Before the red empire disintegrated, in the forests on the border of Ukraine and Russia, and in the glaciers of the Siberian wasteland, the world's most dangerous dragon species inhabited.

It was the Siberian Black Dragon, a subspecies of the long-extinct Siberian Ice Dragon.

This kind of fire dragon is cruel by nature, especially likes to attack people and animals, and will burn anything they don't like in a scorching dragon breath.

Before the Soviet Ministry of Magical Internal Affairs was disintegrated by the influence of the secular government, the Soviet magic regime would regularly organize large-scale removal of these dragons by hand.

The dragon scales of Siberian black dragons are very expensive and can be used to make many high-level magical medicines, and their bones and muscles are also of great value.

If it weren't for the extremely cruel nature of such fire dragons, it is estimated that they would have disappeared from this world long ago.

But this year is different.

It has been a year since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the Ministry of Magical Internal Affairs, like their secular regime, has fallen into the chaos after the disintegration.

At present, Ukraine and the Russian Ministry of Magic are unable to organize a large number of people to completely eliminate these extremely dangerous guys.

result……

There seems to be something wrong with the climate this year, with the entire northern Europe and eastern Asia suffering a once-in-century cold wave.

Those dragons had proliferated the previous year because of the Ministry of Magic's laissez-faire. As a result, this year, animals in the wild continued to decrease due to the cold wave, and the dragons began to starve.

At first, the Muggle governments began to receive alarms from border guards one after another—a large number of border villages and towns were burned to ashes, and it was suspected that the other party might have done it.

Ukraine and Russia have been very incompatible with each other, and as a result, a huge conflict started again because of this incident.

The two sides scolded each other diplomatically for several days, and in the end they almost went off the rails.

But with the increasing number of such attacks, those secular governments finally seemed to understand something, and urgently asked the magic government of their country.

Only then did the Ministry of Magic of Ukraine and Russia realize this serious problem, and then began to let go of their prejudices, cooperate with each other, and reorganized their staff to start the eradication of fire dragons.

But it was too late.

A large number of fire dragons poured out of the deep mountains and forests hungry, and began to attack all living creatures that could be seen.

Soon, the surrounding area of ​​most of the reservations became a dead zone for no one!

Immediately afterwards, a large number of fire dragons have begun to turn their attention to the cities of these two countries!

Fortunately, Ukraine and Russia have opened the alchemy protection circle left by the Soviet Ministry of Magic and Internal Affairs, which was specially developed to deal with the current situation and can drive the fire dragon into the wild.

However, these alchemy circles are only equipped in major industrial cities, and those small towns in the wilderness will suffer!

The fire dragons began to turn their attention to these weakly defended towns. Although the magic personnel of the two countries evacuated most of the residents, the number of rescued people was still quite limited on the whole.

And those fire dragons who were still not full after slaughtering the town have turned their attention to other places...

Further south of the outer Xing'an Mountains!

Further south of the Daxinganling!

Shenzhou has urgently invited Mr. Newt Scamander to sit on the scene, and the Shenzhou Night Service Force (known as the Capital Military District Service Brigade to the outside world) has also joined some local garrison troops to set up anti-aircraft guns in the flat area in the north.

The situation is already very critical.

It's just that Zhang Qi doesn't know these things yet. What he is worried about now is whether the Gulfstream airliner that his mother modified can pass through the clouds in front of it normally.

It was snowing in Shenzhou, and the plane could not fly normally in this weather with extremely low visibility, so Zhang Qi had to wait.

"The broth is very fragrant, and your craftsmanship is very good."

Zhang Qi smiled and praised the old man who had just finished busy and was about to sit down and rest for a while.

She speaks very fluent Japanese.

"Oh? Then thank you for your praise."

The old man raised his head in surprise, and finally gave Zhang Qi a smile.

"This is the pork rib soup that has been boiled for enough time. If it's not fragrant, I'm sorry I spent so much energy on this big pot."

The old man looked back at the shelf behind, and then picked up a bottle of plum wine.

"I can see that you're not that well-behaved, so I guess you won't tell the Metropolitan Police Department about me letting minors drink."

The old man found two clean cups, first poured one for Zhang Qi, and then another for himself.

"There are basically no degrees, so don't worry about getting drunk."

The old man said with a smile.

Zhang Qi didn't talk nonsense either, he picked up the cup and took a sip.

Indeed, there are basically no degrees, and there is a sweet and sour feeling, the taste is not bad.

"Have you worked in the group"?

When Zhang Qi was pouring wine for him, Zhang Qi keenly noticed the faint trace of mottled color leaking out from under his sleeve.

"Oh? He's really a smart kid. With such a keen observation, he will definitely do a lot in the future."

The old man said a little surprised.

"However, aren't you afraid, child?"

the old man asked jokingly.

"Guess what I do at home"?

Zhang Qi drank the wine in the glass, and then asked with a smile.

"It can be seen that it is not a serious industry anyway."

The old man replied with a smile.

Zhang Qi also laughed when he heard this.

"This is a trip to Tokyo with my girlfriend"?

The old man looked at Astoria, who was concentrating on sushi, and asked with some doubts.

"It's to treat her eyes."

Zhang Qi answered succinctly.

"It's a pity, she used to be a very beautiful girl."

The old man sighed regretfully and continued.

"There are basically no good results in our line of work, so I still advise you, old man, if possible, you must leave this industry that does not distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise not only may you not have a good death, but you may also be implicated in your family. "…

The old man looked at the moon hanging in the sky through the small but very clean glass window, and was fascinated, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Qi didn't ask any further, just picked up a piece of salmon sushi with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

On the side, Astoria, who accidentally smashed the seaweed roll with a fork, cast a resentful look.

Who told you not to use chopsticks!

Zhang Qi held back his laughter and picked up another piece of sushi.

"Come on, open your mouth"~

Zhang Qi tried his best to hold back his smile and said to Astoria who was stunned there.

"what"?

Astoria stared blankly at Zhang Qi, and finally seemed to realize something, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her face.

"Young people are still full of vigor, as an old man I saw today."

The old man who was scrubbing the dishes said with a smile.

Although Astoria didn't understand Japanese, she still guessed something from the old man's demeanor and expression, and suddenly became a little restless.

"Okay, boy, now it's time to close the store. If you encounter anything in Japan in the future, you can say that you have eaten a bowl of noodles here. I think others should be happy to sell my face."

The old man stood up with a smile and took Zhang Qi's soup bowl.

"Then thank you for your love."

It seems that this old man who sells ramen is not simple. It is estimated that he may be an old man from the underworld of the Hiwa Islands...

Zhang Qi thought silently.

The old man is also a person with a story.

After Astoria ate the last sushi and wiped her mouth, Zhang Qi said goodbye to the old man, and then dragged Astoria out of the store.

"An interesting child"...

The old man muttered, lowered his head and smiled at himself, then began to brush up the bowls that were not cleaned.

It's almost 1 am now, and it's time for him to close and go back.

Compared with the days when he fought knives in dance halls, he still prefers the quiet life now.

Who doesn't want to live comfortably?

It was already early morning. Zhang Qi and Astoria wandered aimlessly in the streets of Tokyo for a while, and then the two started walking towards Narita Airport.

"Huh? What's going on there? The lighting in their shop is so beautiful."

Astoria pointed to a block not far away and asked in surprise.

Zhang Qi turned his head and glanced in that direction, then put his left hand on his forehead.

There are dazzling neon lights there, so Zhang Qi deliberately avoided it when he was looking for a place to eat.

Unexpectedly, Astoria would ask him this question now...

"Well, the plane is about to take off, let's go back to the airport first"...

Zhang Qi said weakly to Astoria.

"Ah, okay then"...

Astoria glanced over there with some reluctance, and then continued on their way towards Narita Airport with Zhang Qi.

"I thought Muggles lived in old buildings, but I didn't expect them to be able to use glass to build buildings"!

Astoria praised Zhang Qi on the way.

"And those red and blue flickering lights are so pretty! I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Tokyo"!

Astoria continued to say excitedly.

After hearing this, Zhang Qi stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"what happened to you"?

Astoria asked strangely, and tilted her head in confusion.

Then Zhang Qi, who glanced at Astoria, stumbled again under his feet.

"Ah, there is a banana peel on the ground, I accidentally stepped on it"...

Zhang Qi said without blushing.

It wasn't that I was cute!

Zhang Qi thought silently in his heart.

"Hey, Hilbert, what do you think Professor Snape is doing now"?

Astoria suddenly asked.

"Well, I think he must be in his office right now, making a potion"...

Zhang Qi thought about it~www.mtlnovel.com~ and replied.

"What a perfunctory answer, Godfather, he is either boiling the potion every day, or he is on the way to make the potion"...

Astoria groaned.

The two continued to stroll down the deserted street.

"Today is the last day of 1992, oh, it's already the first day of 1993."

Zhang Qi looked down at his watch, and the luminous hands pointed to 1:00 in the morning.

New Year's Day is a holiday in many countries, and most of them think that New Year's Day is this day.

However, with the exception of China, it will take about three weeks for the Chinese New Year.

That's the real New Year's Eve.

"Don't you allow a New Year's resolution?"

Astoria tilted her head and said to Zhang Qi.

"You promise."

Zhang Qi looked at the fireworks in the distant sky that had not yet dissipated, and replied with a smile.

"My wish will take about three weeks to be granted"...

Zhang Qi said softly.

"Ah, I remembered, the Chinese New Year is in January or February"!

Astoria said suddenly.

"Then I'll wait until the New Year's Day in China to make a wish."

Astoria looked at the fireworks that were blooming in the night sky in the distance, and was dazed.

Zhang Qi also stood there and began to admire the fireworks in the night sky.

"It's so beautiful"...

Astoria said blankly.

"Yeah, it's beautiful"...

Zhang Qi also followed her.

It's just...

Astoria was looking at the gorgeous fireworks that exploded in the night sky, while Zhang Qi was looking at Astoria's face.
