At the same time, Snape got off the plane but his face was blue. The Muggle transportation made him feel sick all the way, especially the violent turbulence when encountering air currents, which was more severe than any door key he had ever seen.
"Relax, Severus, isn't this a fun experience?"
Su Ming was wearing a colorful short-sleeved shirt and walking beside Snape. He looked like he was from Hawaii, not England.
Snape also wore a suit. He rarely wears it like that, but his hair still looks greasy. He squeezed a few words from his teeth:
"why?"
"Are you asking why flying by plane is not by boat?" Su Ming raised one eyebrow and glanced at him like a fool: "Of course it is because the Floo network between the United States and the United Kingdom is not connected, and flying by plane is better than by boat. Fast. I don’t want to float on the Atlantic for so many days, and I have to run the risk of hitting icebergs on the northern route.

Snape looked around in the chaotic crowd and lowered his voice: "I know you have a flying carpet. I'm asking you why don't we sit there?"
"You." Su Ming sighed, because both of them had no luggage and soon left the crowd: "If you don't even understand how Muggles live, how can you make Muggles fall in love with you?"
Snape's face was even more ugly. There were many wrinkles around his hooked nose, his faces were squeezed together, and he stood there.
"You promised that I won't mention it again."
"Yes, yes, these are the conditions we negotiated, but I think wherever you fall, you must get up wherever you go." The death knell turned back and hooked his shoulders, dragging him out of the Kennedy Airport terminal. "Next, we have to apply for entry to the Magic Congress of the United States, and then to Graylock Mountain in Massachusetts. This time, let you choose the transportation method, right?"
Snape was silent for a moment, until the moonlight outside shone on his face, did he speak slowly.
"Taxi, I want to try a Muggle taxi."
"It's called Moji in the United States. Let's start from here when you come to the countryside."
.........................................
The address of the Magic Congress of the United States (MACUSA) has been constantly changing in the past. Often where the speaker was at the time, the headquarters will be moved to his hometown, so that the speaker can ‘go home and live while at work’.
Compared with the British Ministry of Magic, the Magic Congress of the United States implements a unicameral system, and the speaker has more power than his counterparts across the Atlantic.
Only in 1892, the Bigfoot Rebellion broke out in the United States, and a rebel army composed of Bigfoot fought a guerrilla war with Congress.
The blame for the Bigfoot Rebellion was attributed to the leader of the Human-Like Magic Species Protection Organization, Irene Nidand, who abused her authority to attack Bigfoot who were judged to be "misbehaving", and this behavior led to their decision to revolt , And had an impact on the Magic Congress and Maji society.
This incident caused the wizards to use a lot of Forgotten Charms afterwards, and the headquarters also spent considerable manpower to repair them.
At this time, the American wizards felt that the always relocated headquarters was unreliable and lacked effective protection and safety measures. What they needed was a permanent fortification.
Therefore, in the next few years, wizards infiltrated the construction team of a new building in New York, helping the then famous fat rich man Mr. Volvos to build the world’s tallest building at the time, the Volvos Tower, and in 1913 Completed it and successfully checked in.
The building is 241 meters high and has a total of 57 floors. The Gothic spire is very beautiful. Its elevator shaft sealing design is very unique. So far, its unique ultra-fast elevator is also very famous. It only takes 30 seconds to get from the first floor to the top floor. Those who came for the first time had their hearts beating wildly.
Of course, that is only the part that ordinary people can see. After the building is completed, it becomes a building shared by Maji and wizards. There is a small gate guarded by the main entrance. If you enter from there, you will enter for wizards. The space used is very convenient.
In the more conservative Britain, this technology was only used on platforms nine and three-quarters, because the ministers of magic did not agree to "share" the London underground headquarters of wizards with the Muggles.
Until now in 1992, the building was still in use. Although it was damaged several times, it was all repaired.
The application of Wuhen Stretching Mantra has allowed it to expand hundreds of floors of use space, as well as hundreds of underground structures. This majestic magical spectacle also represents the magical ruling institution with the most employees in the world.
Sitting in the taxi, Snape kept looking through the window to Manhattan's skyscrapers, which were still lit up at night, beautifully.
Although he didn't say anything, it could still be seen that he was frightened by Muggle's construction ability.
The taxi driver chatted with Su Ming because of his New York accent. Until he arrived at his destination, he hesitated to say that although he didn’t know why the guests had to go to Broadway Avenue so late, the economic crisis caused by inflation has not passed. , The night is not a good time to go out.
There are too many amusement facilities and floating population here, the streets are full of drunks in strange costumes, and the bankrupt people are hiding in backlit alleys, perhaps with weapons in their hands.
Su Ming smiled and handed him the fare, so that he didn't need to find change, and told him that he likes unfortunate people and often transvestites speak very well.
Then, as the driver looked at him as a madman, the mercenary pulled Snape out of the car, and the asphalt road below his feet was wet, perhaps because of the humidity brought by Manhattan Park not far away.
"How do you feel? Severus." Su Ming watched the yellow taxi leave his field of vision, the neon lights surrounding them seemed to surround the two.
"fantastic."
Dressed in black, the professor who seemed to be going to attend the funeral frowned. There was a kind of mud bun entering the city, but he didn't want people to notice his ignorance.
"Let's go, most of the surroundings are actually theaters, and a few are talk show clubs with bar functions. There is nothing fun here." Su Ming took out a cigarette, lowered his head and lit it: "When the business is over, I will take How many days will you go to Las Vegas to play, will you play blackjack?"
Snape followed in his footsteps, but did not answer this question because he didn't even understand what 21 o'clock was ~EbookFREE.me~ and at this moment, suddenly rushed into the dark alley under the neon lights on the street. Come out alone, even in summer, he wears a black hat, and his dirty beard makes it difficult to see his face.
"Hand over the money!"
Maybe it was because both of them were dressed too well now, they looked very like rich people, so they were robbed unexpectedly.
The opponent was holding an old 1911 pistol, and the muzzle was shaking violently at this time.
Su Ming stopped Snape's hand with the wand and smiled: "That's why I like it here. It's great to be able to enjoy the gunfight every day."
"Huh." Snape held his hand back and made a short noise from his nostrils.
The death knell turned his gaze to the interceptor again, shook his head regretfully, and extended a finger to point the muzzle: "I hate you guys who are armed with guns. You have no technical content at all... shoot it. , I bet there are no bullets in your gun, the question is, do you still dare to bet?"
