300 Albania
Albania, near the capital Tirana.
The bright sunlight illuminates every place, whether it is houses, ground or mountains in the distance, they look golden under the sunlight.
As a Mediterranean coastal country, Tirana is clear in summer and there is not even a trace of clouds in the sky. Because of this reason, at noon, everyone basically hides in a cool place like rooms or under trees.
But then again, because of the country's depressed economic conditions, the streets here seem very deserted regardless of the weather, and they don't look like the capital of a country at all.
For this reason, almost all the streets and houses on both sides of the streets appear to be dilapidated, as if they have not been maintained for a long time.
On the side of a street named after the Albanian national hero Skanderbet, there is a somewhat overly ragged cafe based on the overall level of the current local area.
The cafe uses a cast iron stick to carry a sign, and it is written in peeling gold letters: Black Hawk Cafe.
But strangely, occasionally people passing by the entrance of this cafe will only look at the restaurants and grocery stores in front and behind the cafe, and will not even look at the cafe.
"We're here." St. George, dressed in a black robe and a hood, whispered, "This is the most well-informed place in the entire Albanian wizarding world."
After saying that, under St. George's leadership, Hugo and his group of nine crossed the empty road and pushed open the slightly ragged door.
After completing the comprehensive reinforcement last time, Hugo only stayed at Hood's house for one day, and then began to inspect the key points arranged by the ship girls in Europe.
It's just that unlike the previous hidden actions, because Hermione is now a ship girl, he doesn't need to avoid his sister in this action.
Soon, everyone walked from the hot outdoors to the cool room. As soon as they came in, Hugo smelled the strange smell of tobacco and coffee in the room.
Unlike Western Europe, people here rarely drink alcoholic beverages. Therefore, everyone gets together and is more accustomed to enjoying coffee, cocoa or hookah together.
Because of Hugo and his team's dress and the number of people, almost all the wizards looked at them when they entered the door.
However, after seeing the anchor pattern embroidered on their robes and the golden mask covering their upper half of their faces, everyone lowered their heads until they went upstairs together to resume their conversation.
Even so, the conversation between these people was greatly reduced. One or two people even hurried to the front desk and ran out of the cafe after completing the account.
"Why do I think everyone here seems to be afraid of us?" After I came to the second floor of the private room to sit down, Hermione put down her hood and said to Hugo.
"This is because after Kirov mastered the three magic ministries in the north and combined them into one, he immediately sent a ship girl to the Albanian area to search for the whereabouts of some people." Hugo replied to his sister.
"Of course, the beauty of the ship girl and the popularity of such a place naturally resulted in many conflicts, and even many bloodshed incidents."
"In these conflicts, the ship girl not only won a complete victory, but also took some of the wanted black wizards who were active in this area or were captured and killed."
So since then, if you wear this uniform here, even those unruly guys have learned to avoid being involved in a huge trouble."
Just as Hugo explained to her sister, the rest of the ship girl also unbuttoned her hood and started chatting, and the room became much more lively.
In addition to the Granger and St. George, the remaining six were Hancock, Lexington Jr., Dido, Independence, Odin and Missouri.
The reason why so many people were dispatched at once was because some of their previous informants found Nagini's traces nearby. And they came here this time to accommodate the snake.
"The situation has been asked clearly," said St. George, who came in with nine cups of hot cocoa and some snacks on a tray. "Someone has found some unusual traces in the mountains east of Tirana."
"We can go over and take a look later." Hugo nodded, "By the way, have you found any new information besides this?"
"A lot, and we have two main things to do with each other." St. George said as he handed out the drink.
"One of them is that our dream 3 brooms played very well in the game. Many people think that the appearance of several dark horses Quidditch teams this year is closely related to the choice of our brooms."
"And another news was just passed on to the admiral's network by the Javelin, which said that Peter escaped on his way from the Ministry of Magic to Azkaban Prison."
"According to the internal news obtained by the Javelin, Peter has always been in a rat state except during interrogation. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic has always used a small cage during the detention process for convenience."
"So this time, I found that there was a real mouse in the cage, and Peter didn't know where he went."
"Is the Ministry of Magic a bucket?" After St. George just finished the second news, Hugo asked in disbelief. "They clearly knew that Peter was illegal, so they should be prepared accordingly."
"You are right, the Ministry of Magic does have a complete process." St. George shrugged. "But the problem is that some problems within the Ministry of Magic have not been implemented."
It turned out that according to common sense, all the interrogation work about Peter should be carried out by Ms. Borns, the Director of the Magic Law Enforcement Division. But because the next election for Ministerial of the Ministry of Magic will begin soon, Fudge made a move.
This guy directly tried to transfer Burns' direct Auror, and then replaced it with his own striker, obviously hoping to get a share of the pie in this incident.
However, it seems that the business level of the strikers controlled by Fudge is indeed somewhat problematic, so that Peter can escape when he is almost sure.
"This incident can be said to be Fudge shooting himself in the foot," St. George finally concluded, "Although the Javelin said that Fudge was blocking information as much as possible, the previous incident was very popular, and everyone outside would probably know it soon."
"Our Minister of Magic is really bad." Hermione picked up the hot cocoa and took a sip, then shook her head. "It would be great if I could be Minister of Magic, and this would definitely not be the problem."
"This is a very difficult thing." Hugo put down the cup in his hand and said to his sister.
"You know that pure-blooded wizards have a very high degree of control over the Ministry of Magic, and it would be nice to be a middle-level official after entering the Ministry of Magic."
"Unless you are willing to find a famous pure-blood family marriage, such as a member of the so-called 28 pure-blood families, it is basically impossible for a marijuana to get to that position."
