Chapter 770 The Ghost Ship Crew Missing Incident!
As Switzerland, known as the roof of Europe, although its land is small, there are many things that are world-renowned.
For example, the most famous watches, Swiss army knives, banks, and... the name of a permanent neutral country.
As a tiny place sandwiched between major powers, Switzerland was not neutral from the start.
Speaking of which, the emergence of this country is also inseparable from Missandei's Habsburg family.
After the prosperity of the Habsburg dynasty, the autonomous status of several cities such as Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden was abolished.
The three cities refused to accept it, so they united against the Habsburg Dynasty, thus forming the core of the old Swiss Confederation.
In the following hundreds of years, Switzerland also had a dream of being a big country.
They fought against the Habsburgs, worked as mercenaries, served as the Pope's Guards, resold arms, fought guerrillas in the Alps, and resisted Napoleon...
In the years before neutrality, Switzerland was also wild and ruthless.
Unfortunately, time has passed, and Switzerland has gradually recognized the facts:
It is impossible to fight against the European powers.
So in 1813, after Napoleon abdicated, at the Vienna Conference, Switzerland, as the victorious country, reaffirmed its neutrality.
European countries also agreed to recognize its permanent neutrality.
The reason is simple, Switzerland lacks resources!
As long as I live like a waste, no one can take advantage of me.
It has few resources, and most of the country is covered with mountain ranges. After getting into it, it can fight guerrillas.
It's a bit like the cemetery of the empire-Afghanistan.
Switzerland is like a nail stuck between Germany, France, Italy and Austria.
And because of the transportation hub, no one wants other countries to get it, and it has gradually become the default buffer for major countries.
Of course, this independence is limited.
At that time, the head of state wanted to capture Switzerland, but the two sides made a deal, and finally gave up, and continued to maintain "neutrality".
During World War II, there has been a sarcastic saying:
Switzerland works for Germany six days a week and prays for Allied victory on Sunday.
But generally speaking, this kind of mountainous environment has indeed won many things for survival and development.
But it caused trouble for William and his party.
All the way along the Danube, through the canal to the Rhine, and then upstream, when he arrived in Switzerland, looking at the rolling mountains on both sides, William was also speechless.
Where can I find someone here!
Although Dumbledore gave the big ship a possible anchorage area when it came, but there are countless tributaries on this side, densely intertwined, and you will get lost if you are not careful.
The most outrageous thing is that halfway through the countercurrent, many rivers froze over the entire section, making it impossible for boats to pass.
"It can only go here." William looked at the snow and thick ice on both sides, frowning and said:
"Durmstrang's ship is probably trapped in the ice."
In cold places, it is easy for ships to encounter this situation. In this case, an icebreaker pilot is required.
Sirius definitely couldn't find the icebreaker, and he didn't know where he took the group of students.
Since it is impossible to pass, a positioning system must be used.
Missandei shook her robe, dozens of Snidgets came out.
Feeling the chill in the air, they poked out their little paws, and another honeycomb burrowed back into Missandei's warm sleeves.
Looking at those Golden Snidgets, William felt the same way.
It was like a winter morning, when he got up to go to the bathroom, he hurriedly got back under the covers without even having time to shake.
There was no other way, so William had no choice but to use ancient runes on every Golden Snidget to endow them with a fever spell.
It's a bit like the one-time use of warm-up badges... well, warm babies.
This group of sick Golden Snidgets finally started to take off, like small unmanned surveillance planes, shuttling through the snow-capped mountains.
Golden Snidget is Golden Snidget, worthy of being the number one speed in the magic world,
They only searched for less than half a day, and successfully found Durmstrang's big ship.
"You stay and watch the ship." William said to the wizard sent by Dumbledore.
The magic ship can't get through, so someone has to stay behind.
William brought Hermione, and Missandei, a female scout soldier... that's enough.
Missandei was a little eager to try, and her calm and unwavering face was also excited.
After that day, she kind of fell in love with riding a motorcycle.
But she couldn't, and William pulled out a silver broomstick.
The noise of the motorcycle is too loud. On such a quiet snow-capped mountain, everything can be disturbed, and it may even cause an avalanche.
A broom can avoid this.
And the broom in William's hand was not a Firebolt, but the Starstriker No. [-] that had just been released in July.
This is an international professional flying broom made in Germany, specially developed to combat Firebolts.
William has Firebolts and doesn't need a new broom, which was bought for Qiu Dai.
In the fourth grade Quidditch final, Cho broke the broomstick in order to delay Harry.
There was the Goblet of Fire in the fifth grade, and the Quidditch match was cancelled, so Qiu didn't buy a broom, and waited for the release of the Starbreaker.
The new Starbreaker was launched in Germany again, and William and Hermione came to Austria to help with purchasing.
However, William can now help Qiu test the performance to prevent major safety hazards.
He sat in the front, Hermione sat in the middle and put her arms around his waist, and Missandei was the last, hugging Hermione.
"3, 2, 1! Let's go!" William made a professional gesture, as if he was not riding a broomstick, but the Chang'e-n manned spacecraft.
William tapped his toes lightly, and the Starbreaker rushed towards the sky.
After getting used to riding the Firebolt, he found that the starting speed of the star striker was even faster.
William suddenly felt that the Quidditch club must be bought, but the broomstick company can also buy one.
Anyway, it is a high-quality asset, the kind that makes a steady profit without losing money.
To make the Akali store bigger and stronger, it has to be involved in all aspects.
This is not a monopoly, but an investment!
Besides, the sales concept of broomsticks in the wizarding world is too backward.
How can you just sell it dryly like that, you have to ask a Quidditch star to endorse and sell the star's exclusive broom.
Just like shoes, you have to fry them up to be expensive.
Will it lose money?No, there is always someone to take the order.
Under the leadership of Golden Snidget, William flew towards a certain direction along the mountains.
"Look, there!"
Holding the binoculars, Hermione had already spotted the black ship that was stranded in the ice and completely frozen.
William falls in Class A.
The ghost ship of Durmstrang has been covered with snow, and the whole ship is empty.
Not to mention Sirius, even the students disappeared together.
William bent down and looked down at the big footprints in the snow.
The size of the footprints is about the size of a sled.The last time William saw such a big foot was Madame Maxime.
Too bad, I'm afraid I've met a giant!
Just when William was about to cast a tracking spell to trace the whereabouts of these footprints, a terrifying roar suddenly came from a certain snow-capped mountain on the shore.
