Chapter 233 The Modern Little Wizard’s Banquet
The last time Ricardo and Nono came to Bashton, they didn’t have time to visit the Wizard Alley in Bashton.
Wizards Alley in Boston is located in a secret realm in the void of Cambridge Town. One of the entrances and exits to the secret realm is behind the box door of the underground bar next to the 'Island House' restaurant in Cambridge Town; the other is on the first floor of the Two Pines Hotel on the south bank of the Charles River. Behind the door of a certain corridor.
"What is the specific address of Honeysel Wizard University?"
"Charles River Valley... Well, this is another secret place at the bottom of the Charles River. It is very close to Wizard Alley City, but it does not belong to the same one. It is the entrance shop of Wizard Alley City. , there is a special deep-diving ship that can take us directly to the big library."
Honeysell Wizarding University is still in normal attendance. Nono has heard that many wizards will directly use spells during the holidays at Wizarding University. Dive deep into the Charles River to reach the secret location of Honeysel University.
But now, she still suggested that the two of them take a special boat to go there.
The Two Pines Hotel on the south bank of the Charles River is similar to the one in London.
The style of Wizarding Alley in Boston is similar to Leaky Cauldron Alley in London.
Nono seemed to have received some news after arriving in Bashton, and she rushed to the destination with Ricardo in a hurry.
Along the way, Ricardo only had a fleeting glimpse of the Two Pines Hotel in Cambridge or Wizards Lane in Boston.
The two walked into a hidden corridor of the Two Pines Hotel, used their wands to push open the hidden door and entered Wizard Alley. Then, they found a small pier behind the first store next to the entrance to Wizard Alley.
There are boats covered with enclosed glass covers next to the pier.
That is, a deep-diving vessel.
The two people got into the deep-diving boat and, carried by the boat, dived somewhere to the bottom of the Charles River.
The area at the bottom of the river looked like a normal river bottom, but it was quite hidden by various river bottom rocks. When the deep-diving boat landed on it, it easily passed through the bottom.
The up and down directions appear to be reversed.
The deep-diving vessel went deeper and shallower at a very fast speed, and then rose again at a very fast speed.
Ricardo and Nono only felt that the surrounding area became dark, and then in a blink of an eye, the surrounding deep-diving boats had reappeared on the surface.
"Is this the Charles River Valley?"
Ricardo looked at the surrounding world and changed its style.
Before entering the Two Pines Hotel in Cambridge Town, it is still a modern civilization style, and then there is the Wizard Alley, which combines modern and retro styles. When you get here, it seems that you are suddenly in the wilderness.
'...Anti-stuck mechanism to obtain additional teleport points. Ricardo
looked up, and before he could react, he heard the message on the panel prompting him to obtain additional teleportation points.
Not every secret realm can obtain additional teleport points.
Like before, Ricardo did not obtain additional teleportation points in Leaky Cauldron Alley in London or Wizards Alley in Cambridge Town.
This mechanism can only be triggered if there is a small world that is closed to a certain extent and may get stuck in the definition of cheat.
Ricardo didn't know why this mechanism appeared here.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the two of them were now in a beautiful river valley.
The sky is filled with stars.
It’s the kind of colorful starry night scene that feels like you’re in a fairy tale, or that can only be obtained by applying the beauty filter of the previous life multiple times.
On both sides of the river valley are quiet and natural river beaches.
And the river seems to lead to the mouth of the sea.
As the deep-diving boat continued to move forward, the terrain in front suddenly rose a lot, and the two sides gradually rose from river beaches to sea cliffs.
Ricardo saw giant gray brick castles more than a hundred meters high on both sides of the sea cliff.
Is this the Hornisel Castle complex?
Ricardo was on the way and had already listened to Nuonuo's introduction.
The Charles River Valley will be starry most of the time, even though it's still afternoon outside.
There are only a few times when the skies over the Charles River Valley are daytime.
The entire Honeysel Castle complex is connected to the left part of the sea cliff. The main castle building alone covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, which is equivalent to more than 200 football fields.
Behind the main castle, there is no end to the endless castle complex.
At this time, under the starry night, the castle was covered with densely lit windows. For a group of super giant buildings that were more than a hundred meters high, those shining windows seemed to complement the stars in the sky.
Under the dim light, the exquisite sculptures and relief murals on the gray masonry of the castle are reflected, giving it a majestic and majestic beauty.
On the edge of the sea cliff, the roaring waves rolling in from time to time add to the magnificence.
There is also a huge castle building on the right side of the sea cliff.
"On the right is the Honeyser Library."
Nono pointed to the left and right sides of the sea cliff. Connecting the waists of the left and right sea cliffs was a tightly wrapped suspended closed corridor.
"There are various other libraries in the Honeysel Castle complex. The Great Library is special. On weekdays, students do not have to go to the Great Library." "The
Great Library is also relatively open to the outside world. There are many The facilities include various functional halls and towers. Elders who bring pure-blood wizard students who have been admitted in advance can find special functional towers to stay in the library." Nono introduced
.
This kind of functional tower reminded Ricardo of the functional tower of the wizard organization in the wizarding world.
"Let's go directly to the grand banquet hall of the Great Library."
"I'm very anxious today because a fellow witch club member who came here in advance told me that the Honeysel Star Observation Tower in the Great Library will open in a week. It’s open. Today is the deadline to apply for the use of the secret room of the Star Observation Tower. In conjunction with this registration, the old wizard families who brought their juniors here will hold a banquet, and the principal, Professor Dempsey, who is personally responsible for approving the use of the Star Observation Tower, will We will also participate. We just took this opportunity to apply for the use of the Star Observation Tower."
The deep-diving ship was slowly approaching the Great Library.
It seems that in this area, ships are not allowed to approach at very high speeds.
Ricardo saw that in the middle of the sea cliffs on both sides was the mouth of the Charles River leading to the ocean.
This is a relatively closed secret realm. It is difficult to imagine why the scene of the outside world is reflected here.
Under the sea cliff where the Great Library is located, there is a large hole, which should be the dock where ships are parked.
"Honisel Star Observation Tower?"
Ricardo was now particularly curious about anything involving Honeysel's name.
"Yes, maybe this is the thing Granger dreamed about that is good for you." "This
is a benefit left by the founder of Honeysel Wizard University. Every wizard before the seventh level can enter the secret room of the Star Observation Tower. After one night, we can stay in the secret room of the Star Observation Tower for another night after reaching the seventh level. If we miss this time, we may be seventh-level wizards and scholars next year, so it will be a waste of an opportunity."
"In the secret room of the Star Observation Tower, it is said that staying for one night before being promoted to a seventh-level wizard scholar can greatly increase the probability of condensing a complete law totem during promotion. Of course, this is only for genius wizards. For many ordinary wizards, they are just Use this opportunity to gather more complete seals."
After Nono explained this paragraph, the deep-diving ship had already sailed into the large hole.
As expected, there is a dock for mooring boats.
Ricardo looked deeper and saw that there was a giant round iron door closed inside, but it seemed that there were dock facilities inside. "Let's go up."
The glass cover of the deep-diving ship opened, and Nono took Ricardo out of the deep-diving ship.
Along the way, there were very few wizards passing by, whether it was on the river when they came or on the Hollow Pier.
A few of them also went to the castle complex on the left.
There are similar holes piers over there.
However, when Ricardo looked at the dozens of deep-diving boats lined up beside the dock, he understood that there were not many people coming here.
It's just that maybe this section is too short and too fast, or there are other ways to enter the big library, so it seems to be relatively lonely here.
He thought of the rough waves that kept coming over the sea cliff.
It is suspected to be the situation at the junction of the Charles River and the ocean.
Maybe... outside the sea cliff, there are entrances from the outside world to the sea cliffs on the left and right.
Ricardo thought.
...
The boat dock is located in the Sea Cliff Cave. On the wall of the cave next to it, there is something similar to the elevator passage of the Wizard Tower that Ricardo had seen in the Gray Mist Towers.
When Nono led Ricardo over.
A large elevator door capable of carrying a deep-diving vessel opened.
The two of them entered it, and it turned out to be a huge elevator going upstairs.
The elevator door closes.
In the huge elevator space, there were only two people, Nono and Ricardo.
The elevator space was a bit dark, and the decoration inside was not exquisite, which made Ricardo suspect that this route was not the main entrance route of the Great Library, but a freight passage related to the dock terminal.
So the elevator in front of me is not a normal elevator, but the freight elevator of the Great Library...
This freight elevator rises rapidly and finally stops on the first floor.
The freight elevator door opened.
Nono took out a silver-white badge from his arms and put it on his clothes.
Ricardo recognized the badge as the one he had received before, which was the student certification from Honeysel University.
He followed the instructions and pinned the badge on.
As if they had become real students of Honeysel University, the two people walked out of the freight elevator and walked into the lobby of the large library.
The bright light drove away the darkness.
Ricardo had the feeling of walking from the freight elevator of a bustling building to the shopping mall lobby on the first floor in his previous life.
The library hall in front of you covers an area of more than 100,000 square meters. Its walls and floor tiles are made of marble, and there are various mysterious and exquisite patterns and symbols on the tiles.
The floor height of the hall is more than twenty meters, and the top is decorated with a large number of crystal chandeliers and gemstones of various colors.
On both sides are countless bookshelves and bookcases. Both sides are filled with books and scrolls of various colors. One side has a bright white light, which is in the style of a modern library.
On the other side, there is a dim yellow light, and the various bookshelves inside are filled with various parchments and scrolls, making people return to the Middle Ages at a glance.
In the hall, wizard apprentices wearing modern clothes or clothes typical of wizard alleys in the modern world are constantly walking through it.
Ricardo saw that there was an automatic glass door in the hall, and there were many wizard apprentices coming in and out from time to time.
It was now clear to him that the elevator he and Nuonuo came up to just now was undoubtedly a rarely used freight elevator.
"Let's go directly to the Grand Ballroom."
"Wait... Well, if the banquet in the Grand Ballroom hasn't started yet, let's find a place to change into a dress first."
Nono took out a crystal ball.
From just now, it seems that someone has been sending her messages.
Let her continue to get the right path and move towards her destination.
It was also the first time for Nono to come to the Honeysel Library, but the whole process seemed more familiar.
...
The two of them went around and around again, passing through many places in the big library.
It is no wonder that the entrance hall alone is a magnificent building with more than 100,000 square meters.
Ricardo no longer knew how far he had traveled along the way.
What particularly impressed him was that there were some indoor wizard tower buildings in the Great Library.
Most of these wizard towers are about the same size as the Storm Beacon, or at most two or three times the size.
In the wizarding civilization of the modern world, formal wizards are called seventh-level wizard scholars.
And wizard apprentices are called wizards.
Ricardo subconsciously believed that the users of these wizard towers were not all seventh-level wizard scholars.
The two people arrived at the grand banquet hall.
Although it is a secret starry night outside, the time is still near dusk in the afternoon in the modern world.
The interior decoration of the entire hall is equally amazing. The top of the banquet hall is a huge and realistic starry night projection, as if the top of the hall is transparent, and combined with the secret sky outside, it seems that the ceiling is transparent.
There were extremely huge round dining tables in the hall. Ricardo saw a little goblin that he had only seen in books about the wizarding world, flapping its wings and holding plates of sumptuous food and drinks on the dining table. superior.
The table seems to be enchanted. The goblin puts many dishes on it, but only some are displayed. When you sit down, the dishes on the table change according to the guests' preferences.
There were many wizards scattered in the grand banquet hall.
Some tables are crowded, while others are sparse or even non-existent.
At a crowded dining table, there were older wizards and young boys around seventeen or eighteen sitting together.
All the wizards present, except for Ricardo and Nono at this moment, were all wearing formal attire.
They all appear to be from so-called wizarding families in the modern world.
"Let's find a place to change clothes first."
Nuonuo said.
