The carriage brought a group of people to a luxury hotel. Although the Empire State Building had not yet started construction at this time, New York was the most prosperous metropolis in the United States and one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Luxury hotels would always be
There will be no shortage.
For example, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where Chen Mo is staying at this moment is one of the best luxury hotels in New York City.
When Li Hongzhang visited the United States during the Wanqing Period, he also stayed in this hotel. He was also the first Chinese dignitary to stay in this hotel in history.
In the future, when dignitaries from all over the world visit the United States, they will stay in this hotel as usual, including the future Queen of England and successive Chinese leaders who have visited the United States.
Even in the future, this luxury hotel once became the largest hotel in the world.
Even at this time, the peculiar shape connected by a corridor to another luxury hotel next to it still makes it quite eye-catching, and it is the first choice for wealthy businessmen and celebrities to stay in luxury hotels in New York.
But for Chen Mo, this is just a hotel. No matter how luxurious it is, can it be as luxurious as his divine palace and world ship?
Even Xiao Yixi was not surprised by this. She just thought it was a pretty good hotel. After all, the yacht she used for her birthday was an aircraft carrier. This kind of small scene was really not something that she had seen since she was a child.
What is the eldest lady surprised about?
A group of four people stood at the door of the hotel. Chen Mo said to Newt and Jacob who were already shocked by the luxury of the hotel: "Mr. Newt has just arrived in New York. He must not have a place to live yet? If you don't mind, I will
How about getting a room in a hotel for the two of you?”
"Isn't this too wasteful? This is the best hotel in New York. The cost of staying for one night is enough to cover my monthly salary." Jacob was very afraid, although he had also imagined that he had
It's a bit of a luxury to stay in a luxury hotel like this.
But one night in such a hotel can indeed cost him a whole month's salary. The gap in life between the lower class workers and the upper class is even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.
Even Newt beside him was secretly calculating that the cost of staying in a hotel like this for one night would be enough to feed the small animals in his suitcase.
However, Chen Mo waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's just entertaining friends. There is nothing to waste. If conditions were not limited, I would not entertain friends in a place of this quality."
"Although it looks good, it's not as good as my yacht." Xiao Yixi also commented on the side, and her words undoubtedly became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Newt and Jacob were surprised by Chen Mo's generosity and wealth, but they both saw eagerness to try in each other's eyes.
After all, this is a luxury hotel. Even Newt, a wizard, has never experienced such luxury, let alone Jacob, who is just an ordinary cannery worker.
But just when the two were about to agree, a woman suddenly came over and interrupted their conversation.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but it seems that you need to come with me." The woman said as she took out her ID: "I am from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and you are suspected of violating the confidentiality law.
Select, I have to cleanse this No-Maj's memory and take you back. By the way, who are you?"
Seeing the ID the woman showed, Newt was the first to show a slightly panicked expression.
Newt is a person who loves magical creatures very much, which can be seen from the fact that his box of magical creatures is enough to open a zoo.
However, in this era, magical creatures are still a very dangerous existence for wizards. People do not know enough about them. Most magical creatures are illegal to raise or possess.
In fact, even several years later, after Newt's own unremitting efforts, he finally strengthened people's understanding of magical creatures, improved their situation and promoted relevant legislation, the magical creatures in his suitcase were still regarded as
Listed as prohibited from breeding and possession.
In addition, the origin of Newt's box of magical creatures is not so legal, and there are some things in it that are enough for him to go to the bottom of the prison in Azkaban and even taste the kiss of the dementor, which leads to
When Newt saw this person from MACUSA, he showed an expression like a mouse seeing a cat.
However, Newt still did not escape immediately, although this was also related to the fact that the woman reached out and grabbed his arm immediately.
Although Apparition is a very useful teleportation spell, if someone is physically connected to the caster, it will still cause the spell to be unstable and both people to be teleported away together.
Therefore, once there is physical contact, it will not work to use apparation to escape.
Of course, this also has something to do with Newt actually not doing anything bad, he just brought some less legal pets.
Jacob who was standing aside felt sorry for this, but he didn't have too many emotions. He just helplessly spread his hands to express his disappointment, and calmly accepted the treatment of having his memory wiped.
Seeing this, the woman nodded with satisfaction, took out her wand and was about to cast a spell on Jacob.
"Wait a minute, I want to say goodbye to Mr. Jacob." However, Chen Mo suddenly interrupted her at this moment, and turned to stretch out his hand towards Jacob: "Mr. Jacob, what about you today?"
I deeply regret what happened to him and hope that we can get to know each other again if given the chance."
"If there is a chance, I would also like to get to know you again." When Jacob heard what Chen Mo said, he smiled kindly, even though he knew that it would be impossible for him to have anything to do with these wizards: "
Wizards and magic are real, I think this is my biggest gain today, but it’s a pity that I can’t remember it.”
Although he said this, Jacob still put down his suitcase and shook hands with Chen Mo.
After shaking hands with Chen Mo, Jacob looked at Newt beside him and reached out to him: "Mr. Wizard, I'm glad to meet you today."
"Newt, my name is Newt, and I'm glad to meet you." Perhaps it was Jacob's kindness that moved Newt, who also put down his suitcase and took the initiative to shake Jacob's hand.
The woman on the side did not interrupt their farewells. It was not until Jacob and Xiao Yixi shook hands and expressed to her that she was ready. Then she pointed the wand at Jacob and read out
Mantra: "Everything is forgotten."
When Jacob came to his senses, he was the only one left around, and the box at his feet.
Jacob touched his head in confusion, then touched his body, and took out the US dollars that Chen Mo had given him before from his pocket, but he couldn't remember where the money came from.
Found on the note wrapped around the banknote is the phrase "Realize your dreams - with help from friends."
This made Jacob feel a little confused, but he vaguely remembered that the money should have been given by a friend to fund him to open a bakery shop.
Thinking of this, although Jacob could not recall who this friend was, he happily collected the money, then picked up his suitcase and walked towards home.
On the other side, the witches and wizards from the Magical Congress of the United States of America had already apparated to a building with Newt, Chen Mo and Xiao Yixi.
"Cousin, a strong spell has been cast here!" Xiao Yixi just glanced at the building and saw the powerful space spell maintained here.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, touched her head, and didn't make any comment. He just watched the wizard say a few words to the guard guarding the door of the building, and then took Newt and them into the building.
building.
But the endless stream of pedestrians entering and exiting the building seemed not to see them.
"It's a very good design. It can directly isolate the prying eyes of ordinary people without attracting too much attention." Chen Mo praised the design of the door of the building. He could see that only when the guard opened the door, the
The spell will be activated and open the passage to the location of MACUSA, which is usually just an ordinary door.
This is somewhat similar to platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station in the UK. Even wizards must use a specific method to pass. This effectively isolates non-magical people from the possibility of accidentally entering, and does not allow some people involved in magic to pass.
Non-magical people of the world cannot enter here.
The wizard walked in a hurry, just holding Newt's hand and dragging him forward.
Chen Mo looked very leisurely, holding Xiao Yixi's hand and following them while looking around curiously.
The huge pointer hanging in the center of the hall looks like an upside-down bell tower, and it is surrounded by walls and corridors, leading up to the clouds. Surrounded by the four walls, it wraps a small piece of sky
.
However, both Chen Mo and Xiao Yixi showed slightly disappointed expressions, because they could see through that in fact, the surrounding buildings were not that high at all, and there were no clouds above them. The entire Magic Congress only had about a dozen floors.
, all of them are just illusion maps.
This is much more embarrassing than the British Ministry of Magic. The British Ministry of Magic is located underground. Although the windows are also illusions, they can at least simulate the weather. The MACUSA can only change the brightness over time, even with the weather outside.
Weather synchronization is not possible, and the function is actually quite simple.
After the group walked through the hall, they entered a sliding elevator of this era. When the witch was greeting the goblin operating the elevator, Chen Mo heard the witch's name, Tina Goldstein.
kindness.
"It sounds like you've been in a lot of trouble?" From the conversation between Tina and the elevator operator, Chen Mo could clearly tell that she was a former law enforcement officer who had been transferred from the law enforcement department.
Regarding this, Tina did not deny it, but she also did not explain it. She just took them to the Major Crime Investigation Department of MACUSA.
This place is somewhat similar to the Auror headquarters of the British Ministry of Magic, which is simply a violent law enforcement department.
At this moment, the place seemed very quiet. It was obvious that important matters were being discussed here, so all the other people were excluded.
But Tina obviously didn't notice this, and was eager to re-prove her ability through this incident. She was a little eager for quick success and quick success when she returned to the Major Crime Investigation Department to regain her Auror identity.
After a scolding that did not surprise Chen Mo, Tina was kicked out.
Chen Mo was not interested in the turbaned President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, but the guy in the crowd who drank polyjuice potion to hide his identity made Chen Mo reveal a playful smile.
"I wonder what it feels like to have a serious discussion about arresting yourself?" Chen Mo muttered in a low voice, seemingly eager to try.
"Cousin, I found out! You are even more naughty than me!" Xiao Yixi suddenly pulled his sleeve and asked him to squat down, then whispered in his ear: "I just saw you drop your button.
Mr. Te and Mr. Jacob’s boxes! You’re going to cause trouble, right?”
Chen Mo was not surprised that Yi Xi saw through his little move, but he still touched the little girl's head and denied it: "Nonsense, they obviously took it by mistake."
"Humph, everyone has seen it! Sure enough, cousin, you are all pretending, you just want to watch a good show!" Xiao Yixi wrinkled her cute little nose and snorted at Chen Mo, but she did not expose it.
All he did was hold his little head high and hum, "If you don't take me with you, I will tell my mother that you bully me! You won't give me delicious food, you won't take me out to play, and you will do all kinds of things yourself."
matter!"
Obviously, the little girl was also having fun, hoping to blackmail Chen Mo into taking her with her this time, instead of treating her like a child like her parents and leaving her aside for fun things.
In the little girl's opinion, her most effective threat is her mother.
However, Chen Mo didn't care about this and just smiled and said: "If you don't obey me, the magic suitcase I promised you will be gone!"
"No! I want a magic suitcase!" The little girl immediately broke through and grabbed Chen Mo's sleeves and started acting coquettishly.
Just when Xiao Yixi was acting coquettishly towards Chen Mo, Newt, who was led to the wand registration office where Tina was now, was explaining his affairs under her questioning.
And soon, the male wizard official they had met at the Major Crime Investigation Department arrived here.
"Sir Graves, there is a magical creature in Mr. Newt's suitcase. It ran out of the bank and caused a big commotion." Tina quickly explained, and said to this Graves
Commander S opened the suitcase Newt was holding in front of him.
However, what I saw after opening it was not a magical creature, but a box of beautifully made and fragrant bread.
Seeing Graves and Tina looking at each other, Chen Mo stepped forward and picked up a piece of bread and handed it to Yi Xi. He also took a bite and praised: "Mr. Jacob's craftsmanship is good. It seems that
