Chapter 108 Akabane Sakura Moon (Updated)
After saying goodbye to Zhang He and Qiu, Xie Lin continued to wander around the Asian camp.
He saw some Persian wizards with turbans on their heads, which reminded him of Professor Quirrell in the first grade.
Then, he also saw some wizards from South Asia and India. They were cooking curry. The curry added many magic spices was so rich that Sherrin could smell the aroma from a distance.
Xie Lin finally arrived at the exclusive camp in Japan.
He saw a large group of teenagers gathering together, making a fire and preparing food in the Muggle way. The boys among them all wore spotless crisp suits and ties, and polished black leather shoes; the girls wore light-colored long dresses and casual high-heeled sandals.
They were dressed in strict compliance with the Muggle dress code. From their appearance, they did not look like wizards at all. However, wearing such formal clothes and doing activities similar to outdoor camping in such a suburb made Xie Lin feel extremely weird.
Schelling recognized the school emblem of the Mahotokuro Magic School on the tent. The management of this magic school is very strict, which can be seen from the fact that this group of young students strictly abide by the international secrecy law.
Their uniforms are said to be enchanted, changing size as the students grow older and changing color as they learn more.
At the beginning, the robe is a light pink color, which turns to gold if the student achieves the best grades in all magical subjects. If the robe turns white, it means that the student has violated the Japanese wizarding code or committed illegal behavior. This is a terrible shame. Not only will he be expelled from the school, but he will also be tried by the Japanese Ministry of Magic.
Xie Lin's arrival attracted the attention of many people. After all, wizards in Asia almost all have black hair and black eyes, so the appearance of a blond boy is undoubtedly very eye-catching.
A tall Japanese girl walked over. Her appearance was somewhat similar to the female star he had seen by chance in a magazine before traveling through time. Her name seemed to be Xinheng Yui. The clothes on her body exuded a faint pure golden light, making her stand out among the young wizards.
She spoke first: "Are you... Mr. Malfoy?" To Xie Lin's surprise, her English was very fluent!
"Yes, hello, Miss Akabane." The visitor was Akabane Yingyue, Xie Lin's pen pal since he was nine years old.
Since becoming acquainted through letters, no matter how busy Schelling was, he would squeeze out time every weekend to keep in touch with his pen pal. The two of them had exchanged photos of each other on the day Xie Lin entered school when he was eleven years old, so although it was not immediately certain, it was still enough to identify each other.
What surprised Xie Lin was that her English didn't have the heavy accent that the Japanese used to speak English in her previous life. Instead, she spoke it very authentically, almost like a native British person. Although the two communicated mostly in English in their letters, writing and speaking were completely different things.
When the two pen pals met for the first time, they were excited but also a little embarrassed. Xie Lin knew some simple Japanese. Fortunately, Akabane Sakurazuki's English was fluent enough, so the two could talk smoothly. It turns out that Yingyue has always longed for the British magical world. She planned to go to the UK to find a job after graduation, so she went out of her way to learn English well and make pen pals in the UK beforehand.
Xie Lin took a sip of the fragrant green tea and asked casually: "Yingyue (the two have begun to call each other by name), do you also like Quidditch?"
Yingyue stuck out her tongue and showed a playful expression, "Don't tell me, in fact, I don't like Quidditch at all... It's just that I have been looking forward to coming to England since I was a child, so when the school organized this When a tour group came to the UK, I was the first to sign up.”
Xie Lin was a little curious and couldn't help but ask: "To be honest, I have asked you several times and you have never answered. What is so good about Britain that can attract you so much?"
A sadness flashed through Yingyue's eyes, "Did you know? In Japan's wizarding world, to this day, the status of women is still not high. No matter how hard I work and how good my grades are, once I graduate, there are not many departments. If you are willing to hire me, I will only end up marrying a man and living the life of a husband, godson and housewife..."
Her eyes showed a strange brilliance, and she said: "I am not willing to accept it. I don't want this kind of life, so I must go abroad and decide my own destiny with my own hands!"
Xie Lin's body trembled slightly. He seemed to see his own shadow in Yingyue. They were all people trying to control their own destiny!
"Britain may not be as good as you think," Xie Lin said with a wry smile. "The major pure-blood families tightly control the economic lifeline and have great influence on politics. If you, an outsider, want to do things in the UK, I'm afraid We still have to face many difficulties..."
Yingyue showed a sly smile, "Aren't you here too! Malfoy's young master!" She then pretended to be pitiful, "You shouldn't stand by and watch the little girl be helpless, right? "
Xie Lin said "Ah".
"Don't pretend, I've known about your family background for a long time. The Malfoy family is one of the most powerful families in Great Britain. You are the young master of the Malfoy family, and you are the youngest Sir Merlin in British history. He was a young representative of the European Wizards' Federation in the Middle Ages and held countless patents and investments... OK, why did you never mention this to me in your letter? Humph! You didn't regard me as a friend at all? !”
Yingyue pursed her little cherry lips, which looked a bit... to Xie Lin, how should I put it, kawaii!
"Uh...if I tell you this, wouldn't it seem like I'm showing off?" Xie Lin scratched his itchy scalp, "Besides, do you want me to write this in the letter: Miss Akabane, actually I am a tall, rich and handsome man, with fame, status, property, a house and a car, and a household deposit of thirty thousand galleons..."
Yingyue was so amused that she burst into laughter, "I said, you are so funny!" Then she pretended to be serious and said: "Actually, it's okay if you say that. At least, does this mean that you can help me? "
"We have known each other for such a long time, so there is no problem in helping you." Xie Lin said, "However, I will tell you that in the next few years, the situation in the UK may be greatly turbulent. Maybe you should consider it later. Come again?"
Yingyue showed a suspicious expression, "Are you lying to me? I have read every issue of the Daily Prophet here. Your UK has been peaceful for decades, right? Why did you suddenly say this? these things happen?"
"Alas, it's not caused by those pure-blood families," Sherrin sighed. "In the UK, blood discrimination has always been a deep-rooted problem. No one is willing to make changes..."
"I don't understand." Yingyue raised her doubts. "You are a direct descendant of a powerful pure-blood family. Why do you seem to be against pure-blood theory?"
Xie Lin's expression became very serious: "The glory of pure blood has never been because of the blood flowing in us, but because of commemorating the contributions of countless ancestors to the development of the wizarding world. However, if you are obsessed with a person because of this, It is very likely that many talented wizards will have their talents buried due to their origins. This is very detrimental to the development of the wizarding world - self-preservation, brain drain, and self-improvement... These problems may not be seen in the short term. If anything happens, it will only stagnate or even reverse the development of the wizarding world in the long run..."
Xie Lin's eyes were piercing, "I heard that both North America and Japan have already given up on the theory of blood and have chosen meritocracy - I dare say that in a few years, it won't take too long. The British wizarding community is about to lose its status as the most powerful magical country, most likely to be surpassed by the United States, or possibly by Asian countries..."
There was unabashed appreciation in Yingyue's eyes, and she whispered softly: "Did you know? The content and tone of what you just said seemed like a person..."
"Oh? Who is it?" Xie Lin asked with a smile.
"In our Japanese wizarding world, there was an era when pure-blood supremacy prevailed. That was during the tenth century. The wizarding world at that time attached great importance to bloodline, with the Senju family, Uchiha family and Hyuga family as the most respected ones. The three major families, relying on the magical knowledge inherited by the families, firmly control the power and resources of the wizarding world, and ordinary class wizards have no ability to resist..."
"This situation did not change until a great wizard appeared. He is the greatest wizard in the history of our Japanese wizarding world, just like your British Merlin. He is the great wizard Uzumaki Naruto. He has been weak since he was a child. The grassroots class grew stronger along the way, kept his promise to himself, and never gave up no matter what difficulties he faced. In the end, he succeeded - under his reforms, Mahotokuro was established, and the monopoly of magical knowledge was eliminated. Break, pure blood thought never again."
Yingyue's eyes sparkled, "When you just spoke, you gave me the feeling that you really looked like Lord Uzumaki..."
"No, I'm all talking nonsense. You've given me the award." Xie Lin suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Really?" Yingyue stared straight at Xie Lin, and suddenly she smiled, "The way you spoke just now doesn't look like you were joking..."
Yingyue took him to visit the camp, introduced him to some magical creatures unique to Japan, and tried Japanese barbecue snacks. Xie Lin found them very delicious after trying them.
The two of them chatted and exchanged various interesting experiences while drinking green tea and eating snacks.
Xie Lin unreservedly shared the invisibility magic he had studied with Yingyue. Not only was Yingyue greatly inspired, she also developed a lot of affection for the pen pal in front of her.
Time passed in this chat. Xie Lin saw that it was late and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to invite Yingyue to come to the UK for vacation and promised to entertain her well. Yingyue gave him an inexplicable meaning. Looks in the eyes and nods in agreement.
These two articles are comparative hydrology, so they will be treated as additional updates. Thank you readers for your support!
By the way, there will be no studs in this book (for the author, the harem/stallion distinction is huge), and the harem is probably already full.
If it were only written to the end of seventh grade, in addition to the existing Daphne, May, Tori, and Murray, the author would only be hesitant between Hermione and Luna.
Looking at the current collection results, it is very likely to happen. For readers who want to read stories outside the European magic world, the author can only apologize. The author has decided to delete the Chinese line, Japanese line, and Caribbean line after graduating from grade 7, and focus on defeating Old Voldemort, the shadow of the dragon, and the one in Knockturn Alley (I haven't decided whether to delete the one in Borneo in Southeast Asia).
I'm not afraid to be honest. In the original draft, the author wrote Hermione's love line similar to Xiaofan and Xueqi in "Zhu Xian". They are on different paths of good and evil, and they are entangled in love and hate for half a lifetime. In the end, Hermione is single, and the two can only leave each other as a regret in their lives to reminisce.
However, I hesitated. The author felt the resentment of many Hermione fans. I feel that I will definitely be criticized if I write like this, haha~, let the author think about Hermione's story again!
