The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 168 Mahogany Town (Please collect and vote)
After breakfast, all the exchange students of Hogwarts changed into their daily clothes and came to the small dock beside the river on the highland where Castrobruchuo was located under the guidance of the professor. Except for a few pure-blood wizards who still wore wizard robes out of their pride, the other little wizards changed into Muggle clothes. After all, there was no magic to adjust the temperature and humidity outside the school, and it was not an easy thing to wear such a robe in the rainforest.

Of course, it is also possible that the purebloods have some magical powers to prevent themselves from getting heat stroke, but from the way they are sweating, it doesn't look like they have magic to regulate the temperature. Ryan is really worried that they will fall to the ground due to heat stroke. After all, even though his body has been strengthened, he still feels very hot wearing only a T-shirt and jeans. If he changes into a robe, Ryan feels that he may get heat stroke directly.

Ryan soon turned his attention away from his clothes, because the boat to Mahogany Town was ready. Mahogany Town was downstream of the river. After all, it was the center of the Amazon rainforest. In order to reduce the pressure on the Floo Network, there was no magical teleportation from Castro Brussels to Mahogany Town.

However, because both locations are on the river, the boat naturally becomes the means of transportation between the school and the town. And now what appeared in front of Ryan was a huge canoe.

This canoe looks like it was made by sawing a tree about six meters in diameter in half and then hollowing it out, with a sunshade canopy woven from leaves. But it's clear that this boat is not as simple as it looks. Under the impact of the river water, one or two runes can be seen flashing on the canoe from time to time.

Ryan was worried that his outfit today might be too casual and not very decent, but after seeing the Castrobrusho students on the ship, he found that his worries were unnecessary because the local students were dressed more boldly.

For example, David only wore a short-sleeved floral shirt and beach shorts. His cousin wore a navel-baring short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts. There were even a few local little wizards who looked like natives, with only a circle of cloth around their waists, their upper bodies completely naked, and only a necklace hanging around their necks.

"The clothes you're wearing are a bit too thick." Seeing Ryan David happily greeted him, he said, "There are magic and special magical plants around Mahogany Town. The poisonous insects in the forest can't get in at all. There's no need to wrap yourself up so tightly."

"I'm just worried that dressing too casually might seem impolite," Ryan quickly explained.

"You British people are really weird. It's strange to dress so formally when it's time to relax." David pointed at the pure-blood wizards in wizard robes and said.

Ryan could only shrug helplessly, because he had nothing to say to those pure-blood wizards who were so obsessed with face that they suffered in vain.

Soon, with a tremor, the canoe left the dock and sailed downstream along the turbid river. Because this place is rarely visited by people, the river has maintained its most primitive appearance, and there are many obstacles in the middle of the river. But the canoe can always bypass them under the effect of magic. Even if some debris occasionally hits the side of the boat, the magic on the boat can easily bounce those things away and prevent them from damaging the hull.

Therefore, there were no dangers along the way, and as the canoe slowed down, everyone arrived at the destination smoothly.

The reason why this place is called Mahogany Town is because there are a lot of mahogany trees planted in and around the town. The buildings in the town, whether they are local temple-style or European-style, are all dotted among these tall trees. Although the styles of the houses are not uniform, the buildings embedded in the woods give the whole town a special sense of harmony.

Under the influence of magic, this town, like Hogsmeade, is not shown on any known map. Even satellite photography can only capture a primitive jungle. Of course, these things have nothing to do with Ryan. He is now standing in front of a snack stand waiting for the owner to make him fresh ice cream. As soon as he arrived in the town, Professor Sprout announced that they would gather at the pier at 4 pm. After that, everyone dispersed and went to their own activities.

Since he was not familiar with the town at all, Ryan chose to follow Hermione who had done her homework beforehand.

After visiting two or three important historical sites, Ryan and his friends found that the history that happened on the other side of the earth did not interest them at all. So after thinking for a while, they decided to give up the plan to visit other sites, which freed up a lot of time. Hermione took this opportunity to ask Ryan some questions about runes.

While answering questions, Ryan wandered around the crowded places in the town, and soon they arrived at the town's commercial district.

In places with a large flow of people, as long as there is no explicit ban, there will definitely be countless snack stalls taking advantage of the large number of people to do business. The Muggle world is like this, and the wizarding world is no exception. Ryan felt a little dry in the mouth after the question and answer session just now, so they immediately chose a snack stall to buy an ice cream to moisten their throats.

This street is full of various food stalls, which attracted a group of British wizards who came out of the food desert. For example, Ryan saw several seniors sitting in front of a stall and feasting. It was not only the young wizards who were attracted by the food. Ryan saw Professor Kettleburn, who was with the team, sitting on the street, eating barbecue in one hand and cold beer in the other. After discovering Ryan and Hermione, he happily greeted them.

They walked along several crowded commercial streets while discussing issues and naturally tasted some special delicacies. Ryan suddenly found that Hermione seemed to be very interested in sweets. So he asked curiously, "Why don't I notice that you like sweets so much?"

Hermione, who was scooping a red jelly floating in the air with a spoon, paused and said, "You know my parents are dentists, they are not very fond of me eating sweets, but these magical desserts are all natural and low in sugar, and will not damage my teeth."

It sounds reasonable, Ryan thought as he stuffed a golden fried thing with something inside into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, his eyes suddenly widened.

Why are the worms in this snack still alive after being fried?!
Fortunately, after chewing a few more times, Ryan thought the bug tasted good and finally ate it all without wasting food. But next time I must ask before buying snacks.

After all, they still had to eat lunch, so Ryan stopped Hermione, who was eager to try other desserts on the street, and they walked towards the bookstore they had arranged in advance.
