"I don't know. I just went there to play, and I didn't send any letters." Furong said unhappily, "But I know there is a famous wizard village there. You can go and take a look."
Furong gave an address and then roughly closed the two-way mirror.
Kyle got on his broom again and headed towards the place she mentioned.
……
It's a long way, but it's a lot closer than a thousand miles.
It only took Kyle half an hour to reach a square in the south of Vienna.
According to Fleur, there is a giant statue of an accordion with a hollow space in the middle that only wizards can see.
Kyle quickly found the gap.
After walking in, there was a village similar to Hogsmeade, but much more lively than Hogsmeade. The wizards were dressed differently, and many of them could be seen at a glance as foreign tourists.
And as soon as he came in, Kyle heard melodious music.
Near the entrance was a piano playing a song. No one was sitting in front of it, but the keys were moving on their own.
Going further, you can see a string quartet. In front of a clothing store, the owner of a clothing store, wearing distinctive clothes, is happily beating a hand drum.
You can even see a small band at the door of the bar. They are also wearing unique Austrian costumes. Three of them are wizards, and the other two are creatures similar to Cornish elves, with transparent wings and serrated tails. They are playing a cello that matches their body size... It sounds pretty good.
What’s even more amazing is that these music not only have their own characteristics, but also do not affect each other.
I can only say that this is the place with the best music atmosphere. If you have nothing to do, it's really nice to come here and have a look.
Even though Kyle was in a hurry before, he slowed down unconsciously after arriving here and walked between the various stores.
The village was not big, but it took Kyle more than an hour to finally walk into the Owl Post Office next to the tavern with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
"Hello, guest."
The clerk looked Kyle up and down for a while, and then spoke in a pure London accent, "Do you need any help? Mail a letter, a postcard, or a gift?"
"A gift." Kyle said, "It's a bit far away though."
"You are worrying too much. If you want to ship it to the UK, the store's couriers will have no problem at all."
"you know?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" The clerk smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the customer should have just graduated from Hogwarts and is here to play.
"But there is one thing I must inform you of. Due to the current situation in the UK, the cost of hiring a courier may be a little more expensive than usual. I hope you can understand..."
"I only ask for speed, price is not an issue." Kyle took out a heavy bag of Galleons.
Hearing the jingling sounds inside, the clerk's smile became even brighter.
"What a generous customer! Please allow me to recommend cabbage to you." The clerk waved his hand, and a sturdy owl immediately flew over.
It's a little smaller than Rodan, but it's still outstanding compared to other owls. It's obvious that it's the gold medal messenger here.
"So where do you need it delivered?"
"UK, Ministry of Magic."
"In that case, it will cost ten Galleons in total," the clerk said with a smile.
Kyle paused as he took out the money.
"This is a bit expensive. As far as I know, sending a letter over this distance won't even cost more than one Galleon."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Many messengers don't want to go to England... those monsters wearing cloaks will freeze their wings."
A monster in a cloak...it couldn't be a Dementor, Kyle thought to himself.
But wasn’t that thing solved a year ago? Isn’t the information in this place a bit too outdated?
"Or you can choose another courier." The clerk continued, "It may take longer, but the price is cheaper, only five Galleons."
"Forget it, this is it."
Kyle didn't explain anything and just took out ten gold coins and put them on the table.
"But I may need to buy some more things. Can I take it with me? Then I won't have to make another trip."
"According to the regulations, it is not allowed." The clerk said, "But it is rare to meet such a generous customer, and it is difficult for us to refuse such a small request... As long as it doesn't take too long."
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." Kyle took two steps and turned his head again, "Oh, by the way, I need another envelope."
"It's free." The clerk placed a standard envelope on the table.
Kyle took the envelope and left without saying anything.
He had spent ten Galleons, so it would be too much to charge for the envelope.
A few minutes later, the messenger owl left the village clutching a bulging envelope, and Kyle disappeared as well.

Chapter 831 A unique way of traveling
Evening, British Ministry of Magic.
Fred and George had just finished a day's work. They dragged their tired bodies, cursed Kyle in their hearts, and took the elevator to the lobby, ready to return to St. Catchpole Village.
"Mr. Weasley..." A slow voice came, making the two of them turn their heads subconsciously.
"Bob, what's up?" Fred asked. "Anything interesting you want to share with us?"
"Then we're all ears," said George.
This person is the receptionist in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic. He is responsible for leading wizards who come to the Ministry for the first time to find where they need to go. Because of his work, he always gets first-hand information on many things, so the two have always maintained a very friendly relationship with him.
"There's nothing interesting going on these days. I'm so bored that I want to change jobs." Bob sighed.
"Then why don't you come work for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?" Fred's eyes lit up and he said immediately, "We have connections and we guarantee that you can switch over smoothly."
"Yeah," George said, "the salary here is much higher than that of a receptionist."
"Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?" Bob seemed to have thought of something and shuddered. "Forget it. I suddenly feel that being a little bored is good. At least I have time to do something I like. Unlike you guys, you are busy every day... Well, forget it. Let's not talk about these unhappy things."
Bob changed his tone and said, "This is a letter for you."
He pulled out a bulging envelope and placed it on the table.
"The letter was delivered by a foreign owl. You were not here at the time, so I helped to collect the letter."
"Our letter..."
"Or a foreign owl?"
Fred was stunned for a moment, "From where... who sent it."
"Austria," Bob said. "The sender is Kyle. To be honest, I also want to go to Austria. I heard that you can hear all kinds of different music in Diagon Alley there."
Bob spoke cheerfully, but Fred and George were confused.
The letter Kell sent them from Austria?
How is this possible?
He was clearly at home yesterday, so how could he suddenly run to Austria without saying a word and send them a letter?
Although they didn't believe it, Fred and George walked over and took the letter in their hands at Bob's urging.
The two originally thought it was just a prank, trying to trick them into opening the envelope, perhaps there was a horror box or something else inside.
Until they saw the signature on the envelope.
It was indeed Kyle’s name, and his handwriting.
The two were even more confused.
"Kyle...really went to Austria?" Fred asked.
"We'll know when we go back and take a look," George said. "Go to Kyle's house and see if he's there. That means the person who sent this letter had ulterior motives."
"That's right."
The two immediately said goodbye to Bob and hurried back to St. Catchpole Village.
They first came to Kyle's door and knocked hard for a long time, but there was no movement from inside. There was only the impatient howling of the cat, which seemed to ask them to be quiet.
"Did he really go to Austria?"
"It's possible. Now that I think about it, there's a small mark on the envelope that only we know about. It shouldn't be a forgery."
"Then let's go back and take a look."
After that, the two returned to the Burrow.
"You're back just in time. It's time for dinner." Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen carrying a stew pot.
"Wait a moment, Mom."
Fred placed the envelope on the table.
"What is this?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
"I don't know," George said. "Kyle sent it from Austria."
"Kyle..." Mrs. Weasley was also stunned, "Isn't he at home?"
"We just went to check, and he's not home," George said, picking up the envelope.
The letter was sealed with magic and required a password to open it, but this obviously did not pose a problem for him.
"Speaking of passwords..." George smiled slightly, "Fred, what did you think of first?"
"Needless to say?" Fred also laughed, "Of course it's the one we are most familiar with."
"Yeah, I really miss it." George sighed, "It seems like we haven't used it for a long time."
"It's useless..."
"What are you talking about?" Charlie was a little confused and urged: "Since you know the password, open the letter quickly."
The twins ignored him and just looked at each other.
"come together?"
