If there is any omission in any link, it will give the other three magic academies a handle to ridicule them, and they will lose their own face.
As the interior of the stadium was gradually completed, workers began to dismantle the temporary iron fence outside.
There is no need to worry about the crowds of onlookers coming in, as they are all concerned about the owl.
About ten days ago, someone accidentally discovered groups of owls flying overhead.
It didn't attract attention at first.
Although owls are the representative magical creatures of Hogwarts, there are also many owls on Blue Star. It is normal to see owls flying in the sky and it is not surprising.
In addition, when Hogwarts first began to recruit students, the crazy people caused great trouble to the native owls of Blue Star. In order to protect the animals and out of concern for being disliked by Hogwarts, the kingdom enacted law strictly prohibiting the capture, breeding, and approaching of owls.
So the crowd didn't chase.
It was not until later, when more and more owls were circling in the sky and gathering in groups, that they realized something was wrong.
Have you ever heard of owls gathering together?
Could it be the Hogwarts owl?
People's eyes unconsciously moved upwards, and they ran to the distant woods where the owl was resting and observed through binoculars.
Approaching is forbidden in the kingdom, so it’s okay for me to take a look from a distance, right?
Everyone happily set up their cameras and took pictures.
The owls on the branches did not show any abnormality at first. Like ordinary birds, they all became bored and left one after another, and the forest edge slowly became deserted again.
However, not long after, someone filmed one of the owls blowing out a ball of fire from its mouth while playing with its companions, and crowds of people gathered at the edge of the forest again.
What do tourists from other places and foreign countries expect?
Isn’t it just seeing the extraordinary with your own eyes?
Now that the extraordinary is right before their eyes, can they still remain calm?
The noise was getting louder and louder. The royal family was alarmed and worried that someone would approach rashly despite the ban, so they quickly dispatched troops to set up a blockade outside the forest.
The Queen was puzzled as to the reason and made a special trip to the construction site to ask Toby and Wino.
But the two of them were not quite sure.
After failing, the queen returned to the palace in confusion, while the two of them felt relieved.
Just like Mr. Gao’s school construction in Amei, the crowds of people gathered outside the construction site caused considerable obstacles to the construction. It was good that they all left.
The two men then found two or three others and told them that when the owl arrived, it was likely that the principal was about to leave, so they had to hurry.
They had already given up all their leisure time for the project, and now they were compressing their remaining time for eating and sleeping, striving to complete it as soon as possible.
Thanks to unremitting efforts, the changes at the construction site are visible to the naked eye.
Half a month later, accompanied by the roar of cannons and the blooming of fireworks, the stadium was successfully completed.
After the Queen cut the ribbon, the Royal Guards responsible for on-site security followed in.
At the same time, she instructed Li to secretly observe which people in the various departments of the kingdom could not hold back and revealed unusual movements recently, and gave Li the power to arrest them.
Once discovered, there is no need to investigate or collect evidence, just arrest them first.
After the competition is over, the teams from Hogwarts and the three colleges will return home and be methodically interrogated and eliminated.
After everything was arranged, the queen returned to the palace and waited.
Dumbledore came a few days ago and informed her of the specific arrival date.
The Queen first asked why the owls gathered, and when she learned that the little ones were out for fun, she went on to ask if she could arrange for reporters when the team arrived at the station.
She did not miss any opportunity to show the outside world the close relationship between Hogwarts and Yingguo, but she was worried that the headmaster would refuse.
Dumbledore agreed without hesitation.
Soon, three days later, the Queen got up at dawn and rushed to King's Cross Station.
Chapter 317 Mr. Gao Arrives——I Also Have a Competition
King's Cross Station is as grand as ever today.
The Queen has ordered the area to be cleared - not to drive away the isolated people, but to set up a cordon to fix the area where they gather.
Therefore, the road in front of the bustling station was empty.
The morning sun shone on the road and on everyone's shoulders. Under everyone's expectant gaze, the Queen's motorcade drove from the end of the road and stopped steadily at the entrance of the station.
The queen got off the car. On her right shoulder stood the owl given by the principal. It was inconvenient to lift it, so she raised her left hand and waved gently to the cheering people, then walked into the station.
Toby and four others followed him in.
They are students of Hogwarts and locals of Blue Star. It is only right and reasonable for them to come and greet the headmaster.
The group stopped in front of Platform 9 3/4, calmly facing the flashing lights around them.
"Your Majesty, are we here too early?" Toby thought carefully for a moment, "I remember the train to Hogwarts didn't have this time."
"It's not a bad thing to come early. Maybe the train will arrive at the station earlier." The Queen didn't care at all that she might have to wait until noon and faced the camera with a smile.
"Your Majesty is very considerate."
When Vino saw that they had finished their conversation, he leaned over to Toby's ear and said, "I heard that the Chinese people will also come. When? Do we need to prepare a welcoming ceremony?"
"No need." The Queen spoke, "The director of the Chinese Abnormal Adjustment Bureau told me that Kunpeng sent them directly to the competition venue."
"Kunpeng? Is it the big flying fish?" Misha asked excitedly.
The queen smiled and pointed her index finger at the tip of her nose: "You are not allowed to address me rudely when you see Kunpeng."
“Will it punish me?”
"The director told me that a disciple of the mountain gate offended it and was pressed under the mountain for three hundred years."
"I know!" Leon raised his arms, "It's a monkey!"
Toby sighed and pressed his arm down: “Leon, the monkey you are talking about is not a disciple of the mountain gate, it is a fictional...um...character in the Chinese mythology.
Also, it was suppressed not for three hundred years, but for five hundred years.”
Originally he was going to say that the monkey was fictional, but then he remembered that Kunpeng was also a fictional creature. After considering for a moment, he chose a more ambiguous word.
Wino was more interested in what the Queen revealed and asked, "Your Highness, how long will they stay in the Kingdom?"
"Probably until the end of the tournament."
Hearing this, he felt slightly encouraged.
I plan to promote my "organization" if I get a chance to come into contact with the disciples of the mountain sect, and maybe I can get support.
"Come to think of it." Toby looked around, "Didn't Mr. Gao say he would come too?"
"Well." The queen frowned, "Mr. Gao is definitely not a good person. I asked the principal about his whereabouts, but I didn't get a reply."
"Is he a bad guy?" Misha looked worried.
"Misha." The queen did not use a coaxing tone this time, but spoke in the tone of an adult conversation, "People are complicated.
A thief may give alms to a beggar on the street, a celebrity may keep a mistress, Mr. Gao may harm us in some ways, but he may also help us in other ways. "
Misha didn't know whether she really didn't understand or was pretending, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
The queen didn't care. She looked up and glanced at the other four people: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao. The principal will deal with him. We just need to do what we should do."
"Yes!" Sensing the queen's seriousness, the four of them straightened their backs.
"Eh——" Misha suddenly looked at the teaching stick in her hand, "Why is it getting hot..."
"Hello everyone."
Several people wondered what happened to Misha, and just as they turned their eyes away, they heard a voice behind them.
Looking back, Dumbledore appeared in front of the wall without knowing when.
He was still dressed as usual, shrouded in a black magic robe, with small round glasses on his nose, and the teaching stick in his right hand was the same style as the one he gave to the Queen.
"Mr. Principal." The queen smiled and walked over with graceful steps, "Welcome to Blue Star.
other……"
"behind."
As soon as the words fell, the red brick wall rippled like water, and a little girl about ten years old walked out, followed by the second, the third...
The reporters around were excited: "Quick, take pictures!"
After all the contestants came out, they lined up in three rows according to their colleges.
The three leading professors came over and said, "You must be Her Majesty the Queen that Headmaster Dumbledore mentioned. Hello."
The Queen had heard that the three schools were in competition with Hogwarts, and she thought the other party would treat her coldly, but she didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic.
“Hello, gentlemen, and this lady.
The car to the race is ready and can leave at any time, but do you need to rest for a while and have a light meal first? "
The three professors looked around and said, "We can just go there by ourselves. As for the snack, we can take care of it when we get there."
The Queen and Dumbledore looked at each other, and after receiving a look of affirmation, she told him the approximate location of the stadium.
Are they leaving?
Toby muttered to himself as he stared at the fifteen students from three colleges.
The Queen was equally curious and looked at them.
"Principal Dumbledore, we will leave now." The professors bowed to Dumbledore, then reached into the wide sleeves of their robes and took out five brooms one after another and distributed them to their students.
Fly over on a broom?
Everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten that magicians traveled on brooms.
Together they sat astride their brooms, levitated off the ground, and flew out of the hall.
Soon, tourists outside could be heard screaming. The queen waited until the noise died down before asking curiously, "Mr. Principal, their attitude doesn't seem too bad."
"Hahaha..." Dumbledore laughed heartily for a long time before stopping. "Just like the relationship between your countries, in the world of Hogwarts, the weak do not have the courage to mock or neglect the strong."
"Look." The old man pointed at the gate they flew out of, "I am better than them, and Hogwarts is better than them, so I decided to hold the competition on Blue Star.
