Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 344 Somersault Cloud

Early this morning, just after Eisen, Harry and the others had something to eat in the hotel restaurant, they ran into Zhang Mingwen who had disappeared for a few days.

"Are we about to set off?" Looking at Zhang Mingwen's expression, Aisen knew what was probably going on.

"That's right, school is about to officially begin. Do you need anything else?" Zhang Mingwen nodded and asked.

"No, we have rested for the past few days. Since class is officially about to begin, let's go!" Eisen waved his hand and then asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, the ship will leave in an hour, we have to get there in advance." Zhang Mingwen opened his sleeves and looked at the time on his watch and replied.

Simply put, Eisen took Harry and the others here to study, not really to travel.Now that we are about to officially enroll, we can no longer delay.

After cleaning up casually, Aisen and others followed Zhang Mingwen into a taxi and left the hotel.

Although the streets here are narrow and the traffic is relatively congested, the people here, including Zhang Mingwen, are not ordinary people. Just a spell can solve the problem.Therefore, the trip was not delayed.

Half an hour later, Aisen and others followed Zhang Mingwen to the riverside.

The surface of the river was blue and the sky was the same color. Before taking a closer look, you could see a large ship approaching the pier.

The riverside scenery was nothing to Eisen. He and Zhang Mingwen entered the cabin and waited quietly.

But for Harry and others, traveling by boat was a rather novel experience.So, Harry, Malfoy and others looked at the surrounding scenery on the deck.

After about an hour of boarding, everyone had already set foot on land.

"Professor, are we there yet?" Harry, who had just gotten off the boat, seemed to still have some unfinished business.

"I guess we still have to walk for a while!" Eisen shook his head slightly and focused on Zhang Mingwen, "How do we get there? Take the train?"

"Of course not. Taking the train is a bit too slow. Come on, follow me!" Zhang Mingwen smiled and waved his hand, then walked in one direction.

It’s true that trains are slow.In this era, the trains here should still be green trains!As for high-speed rail, that will have to wait for many years.

"Let's go, follow!" After greeting Harry and others, Eisen quickly followed.

Following Zhang Mingwen, they turned around and entered a street. When they reached the end of the alley, a store with a very inconspicuous name called "Garbage Recycling Station" appeared in front of them.

Looking at this name, the corner of Eisen's mouth twitched a few times. He wanted to say something but shook his head and did not say it.

After pushing the door open, he discovered that there was a cave inside.

There are brackets on both sides of the room. On one side of the bracket shelf are yellow charms, writing brushes, peach wood swords, yin and yang mirrors and other items. On the other side of the bracket shelf are knives, guns, swords, etc. Sticks, gloves, etc.

These things both felt familiar to Eisen and also made him feel a little strange.

I say they are familiar because Eisen has seen many of them in movies in his previous life. Some of them are standard equipment for Taoists, and some are standard equipment for those traveling in martial arts.I say they are strange because this is the first time Eisen has seen such things directly on site.

Moreover, although the layout here is that of a shop, it is the only one on the street, which makes him feel a little surprised. It feels like this shop is more than just a shop.

Directly opposite the door, there was a tall counter. Behind the counter, leaning on the back of a chair, was a young man.The young man wears a seven-star crown and a blue robe. He has delicate features and looks about the same age as Eisen.

Just from his temperament, it can be seen that this young man is not ordinary.But in terms of strength, well - although it is stronger than the adult wizards in the UK, it does not pose much of a threat to Eisen.

Yes, is this the wizard here?As Aisen guessed that he was nodding secretly in his mind, his eyes fell on his hand, his face suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched again.

Well——, the other party held an antique brick "handheld game console" in his hand and was checking something over and over again.Well, it seems that the wizarding world here is much more accepting of technological creations.

"Xiao Zou! Are you still working on those things of yours?" After entering, Zhang Mingwen directly knocked on the counter.

"It's Teacher Zhang. You've picked up everyone, are they them?" The young Taoist priest known as Xiao Zou reluctantly put down the game console as if he had come back to his senses. After looking around at Aisen and others, He lowered his body and rubbed it.

"It's none of your business! Hurry up, move quickly, I'm going to take them to school!" Zhang Mingwen knocked on the counter a few more times, but didn't answer the other party's words.

"Tch! I'm just an exchange student, what's the big deal!" The young Taoist priest stood up, put a few 'rags' on the table, and curled his lips.

"Since you plan to be a scientist, let us old guys see what you are capable of." Zhang Mingwen put away the 'rag' and continued with a serious attitude, "Also, the weapon refining learned in school Don’t let it go to waste.”

"I know, I know. If I study for a while, I will definitely be able to produce some results!" The young Taoist priest waved his hand, showing a little impatience on his face.

"Let's go!" Zhang Mingwen looked helpless, then said to Aisen, turned around and left the store.

Aisen had a question mark on his face, but he didn't understand what happened.However, after looking at Harry and others who also looked confused, he shrugged, turned around and walked out.

Before leaving, Aisen looked back and found that the young Taoist priest named Xiao Zou was holding the handheld game console and thinking about it again.Judging from his engrossed posture, he was probably about to tear it down.

However, Eisen was quite surprised to hear what Zhang Mingwen said just now about what kind of scientist the other party wanted to be.He really didn't expect that there were wizards here who wanted to become scientists.

If the other party really has such ambitions, he may do great things in the Muggle world.

"Mr. Zhang, what did you just take from over there-" After going out, looking at Zhang Mingwen standing aside, Aisen asked immediately, and at the same time, he showed a little doubt at the right time.

As for asking the other party directly why they took some 'rags', it doesn't have to be that direct.

"Hey, you're too polite, just call me Lao Zhang." Zhang Mingwen held the 'rag' in his hand and waved his hand, "Otherwise, just follow your custom and call me 'Zhang'! "

"Okay, Zhang, just call me Aisen!" A smile appeared on Aisen's face, and his eyes were on the other person's hand again.

"Ahem, this thing is a unique prop for us. It has the same function as the broomstick you have." Zhang Mingwen seemed a little embarrassed and took off the 'rag' and handed it to Aisen and others.

"Oh? This is a flying carpet? Don't you want to fly with a sword? How about we experience that?" After it was unveiled, Aisen realized that it looked like a flying carpet, and he suddenly became interested.

"It is indeed possible to fly with a sword, but each flying sword requires a long period of gestation and cultivation to refine." Zhang Mingwen showed helplessness on his face, but he still explained in detail, "Besides, this is not a flying sword. Blanket, it is a one-time flying prop, you will know after you try it!"

After Zhang Mingwen finished speaking, he flattened the remaining 'rag' in his hand and threw it on the ground, then stepped forward and stepped on it with both feet.

"Don't worry, this is a product of Somersault Cloud Company. It has been tested and never went wrong!" Seeing Aisen and others stunned, Zhang Mingwen quickly explained.

However, such an explanation caused a black line to appear on Eisen's forehead.

Somersault Cloud Company, what is the name of this company?Well, it’s really simple and clear, and you can tell at a glance what this company is about.

Unfolding the 'rag' in his hand and feeling the magic fluctuations contained in it, Eisen gestured to Harry and others, then like Zhang Mingwen, spread it out and threw it on the ground, and then stood up directly.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Mingwen's face became serious when he saw that Aisen and others had already stood up.

"Don't worry, got it?" Eisen turned his head to look at Harry and the others, and nodded towards Zhang Mingwen after admonishing, "Okay, what should we do next, Zhang?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me!" Zhang Mingwen nodded, then straightened his face, crossed his hands on his chest, made a gesture, pointed to the 'rag' at everyone's feet, and shouted in a low voice, "The destination is the gate of Zhengyi Academy, let's go!"

Seeing this scene, Eisen suddenly felt like laughing for some reason.

But before he could react, he noticed that the 'rag' under his feet changed immediately as Zhang Mingwen's voice fell.

I saw that the 'rag' seemed to have been steamed by boiling water, with white mist rising out of thin air, then lingering around it.

Immediately afterwards, the white mist grew more and more, and then turned into a cloud about ten feet in size.Not only did the 'rag' cover up, but his feet were also wrapped up.

Looking at the feet of Harry and the others, they all changed like Eisen's feet.

Harry and the others stared at this scene with wide eyes.Immediately afterwards, before Aisen could say anything, he felt his feet loosen, and there were waves of softness.

whoosh-

The crowd suddenly floated up, and then shot straight into the sky like streams of light.

"Riding the clouds?" Eisen looked in surprise at Zhang Mingwen who was flying not far in front of him.

"Not everyone can master magical powers such as flying over the clouds and driving through the fog. This is just a product developed by Somersault Cloud Company!" Zhang Mingwen waved his hand, but he couldn't hide the proud look on his face.

"This is amazing!" Harry couldn't help but admire.

"I didn't expect that we could actually fly in the sky on clouds. I thought we could only fly on a broomstick!" Hannah said, stepping hard and found that although her feet were soft, they were extremely solid.

"This way of flying is really cool!" Padma also looked at the clouds and mist under her feet with curiosity.

"If this thing is sold in Diagon Alley, it will definitely be popular." Harry bent down and brushed the clouds, a trace of cloud lingered on his fingertips, and then dispersed.

"Could it be that the product developed by Somersault Cloud Company is also called Somersault Cloud?" Eisen looked around and found that everyone was flying above the sky. There seemed to be invisible shields around them to protect them, and the curiosity on his face became more intense. stand up.

"Have you seen "Journey to the West"?" Zhang Mingwen looked at Aisen in surprise.

"I've seen some of it briefly, but I'm very attracted to the magical powers and magic weapons in it. Especially the Monkey King who somersaults thousands of miles." Aisen had a look of yearning on his face.

"The Somersault Cloud Company does have a somersault cloud. It took a lot of effort to refine it. That somersault cloud is really amazing. Although no one can fly a thousand miles, it is easy to fly a thousand miles in an instant." Zhang Mingwen Smiling, he pointed at his feet, "These are just simplified and modified products based on that somersault cloud, and they are all one-time flying props, so they are nothing."

Although "Journey to the West" is a mythical novel, Eisen is not sure how many things in it are true.But after all, even the Somersault Cloud Company has appeared here, and they have also created a Somersault Cloud that can travel thousands of miles in an instant.

Therefore, Aisen's slightly undisciplined mentality before immediately calmed down a little.

However, even if many of the magical powers and magic weapons in "Journey to the West" are really revealed, Aisen is strong enough to protect himself.

Among other things, he can transform into light and fly 30 kilometers in one second. Who can catch up?
What?Do you think there is anyone here who knows the Five Elements Escape Technique or the Golden Light?Well, forget it, Aisen didn’t intend to cause trouble anyway, so what are you afraid of, right?
"The refining of these flying props uses alchemy, right?" As his thoughts turned, Aisen cleared some distracting thoughts and turned around to ask.

"Alchemy? We also have alchemy here, but it's just a name, and it's different from yours. If you're talking about the art of refining some props and utensils, ours here actually calls it the art of refining, although the techniques may be different. There are some differences, but they are essentially the same." Zhang Mingwen nodded.

"It's indeed the art of refining weapons!" Eisen nodded.

That being said, it makes sense.After all, in this world, the essence of extraordinary power is magic, so the alchemy or refining techniques developed from this are actually just the application of magic.

Take the somersault cloud under his feet as an example. After experiencing it just once, Eisen is actually confident that he can use his knowledge of alchemy to refine a somersault cloud with exactly the same function.

After all, this thing is not a magical power, but a flying prop.

The core function of flying props is flight.In this way, it is no big deal to refine a cloud that can carry people for flight.

As for what Zhang Mingwen said before, Eisen also knew some of the alchemy here in his previous life. It was probably some of the skills mastered by ancient alchemists, and later developed into alchemy.

"I heard that there is a man named Nicoléme over there who used alchemy to refine the magic stone?" Zhang Mingwen suddenly spoke, with deep curiosity in his tone.

"Yes, it is said that it was successfully refined more than 600 years ago! Do you have it here too?" Eisen said, with a little surprise on his face.

"It sounds like Waidan. There are very few people here who are pursuing this!" Zhang Mingwen shook his head.

"Waitan!" Eisen showed a thoughtful expression, "Pretending to rely on external things to strengthen yourself?"

"It seems you understand very well!" Zhang Mingwen looked at Aisen as if he wanted to see through him, and once again showed a surprised look, "If you rely on external things, it will be difficult for the Taoist heart to be permanent. If you cannot clearly understand your mind and see your nature, your mind will become dusty sooner or later. Once your mind becomes dusty, even if you gain immortality for a while, you will eventually suffer disaster."

"Is the Taoist heart eternal?" After listening to Zhang Mingwen's words, Aisen fell into deep thought for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, Nicole May must have given up longevity?" Zhang Mingwen looked at Eisen, although he was asking, but the firmness in his tone was obvious.

"How is it possible for Nicoléme to give up immortality?" Before Eisen could say anything, Hannah yelled at the side.

"Yeah, how could he give up immortality?" Padma agreed, with a puzzled look on her face.

As for Harry, who knew the truth about some things, he looked at Zhang Mingwen in surprise, wondering how he knew.

"In other words, even if someone seeks immortality by borrowing external objects, they must cultivate both life and life and have a permanent Taoist heart. Otherwise, there will be problems with the mind in the end." After pondering for a moment, Aisen said calmly.

"That's right. But that's not entirely true -" Zhang Mingwen nodded, then shook his head.

"This?" Aisen looked at the other party with surprised eyes.

"You said, what would happen if a person wanted to die but couldn't?" Zhang Mingwen said lightly.

"Uh, maybe he will go crazy?" Aisen said and almost couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes.

"Then, what happens after the madness lasts for a long time?" Zhang Mingwen continued to ask.

"Mental confusion, loss of self-awareness?" Aisen said and began to think.

"Didn't I say that I can't die even if I want to!" Zhang Mingwen had a smile on his face.

"You've been crazy for a long time, maybe you'll wake up?" As if he thought of something, Aisen's tone was a little uncertain.

"Yes, in an isolated system, the process of entropy increase is the process of development from order to disorder. But no one living in this world can be isolated from time, so the resumption of disorder Returning to order is not impossible."

Good guy, this scientific explanation made Eisen roll his eyes.

Well, although these words were confusing, he still understood some of the meaning.

To put it simply, it is an immortal whose human heart is unbalanced. He has reached the point where he wants to die but cannot. So as long as he is willing to endure the time, even if he is a madman, he still has a chance to wake up.When the time comes, maybe this person will be able to achieve "eternal Taoist heart" through this method.

"Okay, Zhang, I don't understand. Why are you telling me this?" After a moment of silence, Aisen asked.

To be honest, these words didn't seem to involve any secrets, but the other party told him these things for no reason, which still made him a little confused.

"What are you talking about? I'm just chatting with you, what's the reason?" Zhang Mingwen shook his head, then pointed downward, "Okay, get ready, we are here!"

As soon as he said this, Eisen felt short, and when he looked at Harry and the others, he found that they were falling down at the same time.
