In general, the experience of the Kent family proved that the old aristocrats in the American magical world are not fools.

On the contrary, they are even more intelligent than the pure-blooded aristocrats in the country. Many pure-blooded aristocrats in the country believe that their notion that they like to lick themselves is completely wrong.

In fact, in their hearts, honor is important, but what they can really chase after is profit.

Therefore, only pure-blooded aristocrats like the Foley family who can bring benefits to them and have extremely noble blood can be sought after by them. And the second-rate family, like the Kent family, who just wants to take advantage, can only be played by them as monkeys and thrown into the countryside to fend for themselves after eating up.

McKee closed the information silently, feeling quite inwardly.

There is no fool for anyone who can be in a high position in this world.

But at the same time he also felt some doubts, because this document did not specify the current position of the Kent family.

Abbott seemed to see through Mike's mind. He smiled and poured a cup of tea for Mike, and slowly explained:

"The Kent family left New York after the failure. They are now lingering in a place called Fox."

"Fox?"

"Yes, I know, this name is exactly the same as Dumbledore Phoenix, but this Fox is a place name, that is a poor town." Abbott waved his hand and continued to explain, "And, this Fox Town is indeed a very interesting place. In addition to ordinary Muggles, there are also a group of werewolves and vampires."

"Werewolf?"

Mike's brows frowned. Werewolves, creatures that spread the werewolf virus everywhere, have been severely hit in the country. As for vampires, let alone the human predators who feed on human blood. Killed to extinction by wizards.

"What you just said was a group, which means there are a lot of them?"

"It's really quite a lot. There are about a hundred in total."

"It's impossible." Mike shook his head. "The population of a small town simply cannot support the survival of so many werewolves and vampires, and the Magic Congress of the United States of such a large group of dark magic creatures should not sit idly by!"

Abbott was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he suddenly realized that:

"You may have misunderstood something, Mike. The United States is not the same as the U.S. country, especially when it comes to the wise and magical creature race. The U.S. Ministry of Magic has a very tough attitude towards such creatures, but the U.S. appears Some are ambiguous, such as the group of vampires and werewolves. The Magic Congress of the United States allows them to live on the land of the United States, but does not allow them to harm any Muggles or wizards. As long as they violate the rules, then waiting for them is a dead end. "

"Ha, this rule is ridiculous!" Zhou Hong suddenly rushed out from the side and said, "Dogs can't change eating shit, how can they expect that group of monsters can resist their instincts?"

Mike nodded, he felt so too.

"But in fact they did succeed." Abbott smiled and shook his head. "The group of vampires is now said to have drunk animal blood instead of human blood. Of course, this is at the expense of their own strength. Yes, after all, their strength comes from the blood. As for the werewolves, hehe, they are almost domesticating themselves into puppies."

"But it's worth it. You know how bad these things are in Europe and other places, but in the U.S., they can at least be protected by law." Abbot seemed to suddenly think of something funny. Laughed likewise, "Haha! Legal protection! Hahahaha!"

Mike and Zhou Hong, you look at me, I look at you, they both look dumbfounded.

The two of them did not get any laughs.

Fortunately, Abbott laughed for a while and then stopped, explaining to Mike and Zhou Hong:

"After listening to me just now, you should think that the United States is a good place that emphasizes human rights?"

Zhou Hong nodded, he did think so, but Mike was silent.

"That's the case, at least on paper, it is true in the United States, but in fact it is different. Take the group of werewolves and vampires in Fox Town for example. Any wizard can bully them, or even kill them. They won’t be punished by the law. And if they hurt the wizard, then... hehehe.” Abbott said meaningfully, “There are many of these things, you can fully understand if you look at them. Here we are. In short, this country is a paradise for people like us!"

Zhou Hong looked at Abbott with a dull expression, his simple heart was greatly impacted by the other's words.

Mike thought for a while and said:

"In other words, those vampires and werewolves in Fox Town might be threatened by the Kent family against us?"

"It is indeed possible. After all, there is only one wizard from the Kent family in Fox Town, and those dark magic creatures have no right to refuse." Abbott said, "but it doesn't matter. The Kent family has a small population and is not strong enough. Strong, even adding those dark magic creatures is not worth mentioning."

Hearing this, Mike nodded in satisfaction. At present, the Kent family is the most important to him. As for understanding things like the United States, he is not very interested. After all, he has seen enough similar things in the previous life. Yes, now it seems that the American wizarding world is not much different from the Muggle country in his impression.

"Okay, let's stop talking about these serious topics." Abbott said with interest, "Franklin and the others have been arranged to enter the room to rest. Anyway, we can't do anything for the time being. Why don't we go shopping in the Plaza Street today? "

Mike shook his head, and instinctively wanted to refuse. He didn't have much interest in visiting the so-called American scenery. It's better to take a rest and prepare if you have that time.

But Abbott obviously didn't intend to just give up like that. Seeing Mike shook his head, he immediately looked at Zhou Hong, who was still in a state of doubt in life, and said in a bewitching tone:

"This little brother is called Zhou Hong? Are you very confused about what I said before? Wouldn't it be better to go and see with us? I believe that after you observe for a while, you will definitely have yourself s answer."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhou Hong's original dull expression instantly became vivid, but he did not immediately agree, instead turning his head and looking at Mike with expectant eyes.

Mike sighed helplessly, and finally nodded slowly under the expected gaze of Abbott and Zhou Hong.

...

Half an hour later, Mike, Abbott and Zhou Hong arrived at Plaza Street through the Floo Network.

Different from Qiguo, the public flyway network transfer point on Plaza Street is not a store similar to the broken cauldron bar, but a large building with a huge space inside, similar to a Muggle subway station.

In fact, this is indeed the magical version of the'metro station'. As one of the transportation hubs of the magical world in the United States, there are a dazzling array of fireplaces all over the place, and most importantly, these fireplaces are very well received. Maintenance, users do not have to worry about the dust in the fireplace will stain their clothes.

Such a scene surprised both Zhou Hong and Mike. This centralized station was much more advanced than Qi Guo, and it was even better than the Hall of the Ministry of Magic.

Abbott shook his head with some emotion, almost the same reaction when he first came.

"This fireplace station is indeed much better than Diagon Alley, but it is actually caused by historical reasons." He explained, "You must know that this site was built in the last two hundred years, and Diagon Alley has been nearly It has a history of thousands of years, so it looks normal here to be more advanced."

Neither Mike nor Zhou Hong spoke. The former simply felt that Abbot was quibbling, while the latter's attention had already been taken away by the tourists.

The tourists here are very strange. Unlike Diagon Alley, the travelers in this station are not only human wizards, but also a large number of fairies, house elves, horsemen, and many weird things that Zhou Hong can’t name at all. biological!

Such a scene will never appear in the country. The proud wizards of the country will never allow these lower creatures to share a fireplace with themselves, and even staying with them under the same roof will make the wizards feel humiliated.

Even the fairies in Gringotts, a decent group that seems to have achieved a very high social status, have many restrictions in this regard. For example, their restaurants and the restaurants of wizard employees are separated separately. The sharing of lunch will never happen in Gringotts.

It's different here. Not only do so many kinds of complex creatures gather together, but they get along very comfortably.

Zhou Hong even saw a tall wizard walking with a house elf talking and laughing. Judging from the uniforms they wore, they should not be a master-servant relationship, but a colleague.

But although everything seems to be very harmonious and beautiful here, Zhou Hong, who has a talent for mind reading, sees another scene.

The tall wizard is full of contempt and discrimination towards his house elf at the same time, while the house elf thinks his colleague is a trash. If it is not because of the status of a wizard, then the other party is not qualified to work with him.

Such things abound in this hall. Everyone is smiling and coexisting in harmony, but deep in their hearts is full of malice.

Such things not only happen between human wizards and other intelligent creatures, but even these minority creatures themselves are still hostile to each other, believing that each other enjoys more preferential treatment than themselves.

All this made Zhou Hong feel terrified.

At this time, Mike's greeting came from Zhou Hong. He fixed his eyes and saw that Abbott had already finished telling the history of the station and was about to take the two to the next location. .

Zhou Hong shook his head, threw all the weird ideas in his mind, and then quickly followed Mike's pace.

Walking out of the station, what appeared in front of Mike and Zhou Hong was a spacious street lined with tall buildings. This was Plaza Street, the commercial center of the Magic World of America.

Compared with the commercial center of Diagon Alley, which is more like a pedestrian street, Plaza Street is obviously more modern CBD (Central Business District). The flat road marked with a yellow line in the middle of the street is a two-way lane dedicated to vehicles. At this time, there are a lot of vehicles driving on it, but the types of these vehicles are a bit complicated, and the quality is also uneven, ranging from a high-end luxury Yeqi carriage to a poor and sour tattered magical modified car.

Mike even saw a fierce-looking one-eyed goblin riding on a dinosaur-like legs standing, with slanted eyes and tongue. At first glance, a very silly lizard was running on the driveway. The speed was not slow!

However, the one-eyed fairy seemed to have road rage, and in the face of heavy traffic, he was waving a miniature halberd and shouting there.

On both sides of the lane are two equally wide sidewalks, which are much more beautiful than the bare lane.

Not only is there rows of trees planted on both sides, the stone pavement under its feet is also released by magic, and it is emitting a soft white light. When a passerby steps on it, it will sputter a faint light and dust around it. , Looks beautiful, many young children are really playing on the sidewalk at the moment, taking pleasure in stepping out of the light and dust.

Of course, the flow of people on the sidewalk is naturally very crowded. The playful bear kids will naturally run into some pedestrians, but the people here look very friendly, even if they are knocked down, they will not blame the bears. Child, he laughed and passed.

In addition, Mike also noticed that there are many shops erected on both sides of the sidewalk. These shops are very high-end from the perspective of their facades, at least much more advanced than the small retro workshop-style shops of Diagon Alley.

The number of shops here is also very large There are also various shop signs suspended on the walls of the tall buildings, ranging from clothing, food, housing and transportation to leisure and entertainment.

And unlike Diagon Alley, the commercial competition here is very fierce, and there is no exclusive business.

After just walking around for a short time, Mike has already seen three magic wand shops, five dessert shops and a dozen clothing shops. Compared with this place, Diagon Alley is like a small market in a small country town. Poor.

"It's the same thing. This commercial street was built in the last few hundred years, so it looks more recent. If the Ministry of Magic is willing to renovate Diagon Alley, it will do better! Well, that's it."

Abbott explained with an awkward expression that, as a native pure-blooded nobleman, he still beat the group of upstarts who looked down on the United States in his heart.

This sense of superiority forced him to be reluctant to admit the gap between them.
