Chapter 817 Vampire Bar

The moment Albert stepped into the rising green flames, it was as if his whole body was sucked in. The swirling green flames took him spinning rapidly, as if he was thrown into a washing machine. After the feeling of being down to earth was restored, Albert swayed slightly and regained his balance.

 “Welcome to the Spanish Ministry of Magic.”

As soon as he walked out of the fireplace, Albert heard the voice of a strange old man next to him.

Of course, the old wizard probably didn’t expect the visitors to understand Spanish. He just greeted travelers coming out of the international floo network as usual.

  After all, there are very few wizards using the international floo network, and it is rare to encounter one.

Albert turned to look at the old wizard who was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper, and looked at the surrounding environment. After noticing that the green flame that had just extinguished was burning in the fireplace again, he immediately stepped aside.

Bud came out of the fireplace, reached out to brush off the ashes on his clothes, and greeted the old wizard next to him in fluent Spanish: "Oh, Rodres, it's so nice to see you. I didn't expect you to be here." Not retired.”

"I think it's good to stay here. I read the newspaper every day and don't have to do anything. I can get a good salary every month." The old wizard put down the newspaper and took the initiative to give Bud a simple hug. "It's you who retired at a very young age."

"You should be almost there. I heard a while ago that the Ministry of Magic is discussing whether to close the international floo network and replace it with international portkeys." Bard said with regret, "I think Spain should be almost there too." .”

"This doesn't bother you to worry. Unless the Ministry of Magic can find a stable and fast transportation method, it will not easily cancel the international floo network." What Rodrith said is true. Although the international floo network is not comfortable, , but using it to travel is safe and fast enough, far from being a substitute for a portkey. After all, wizards who use portkeys to travel can easily suffer from portkey sickness.

Albert always felt that the tone of conversation between the two old men was a bit strange, like a pair of enemies.

 “This is...” Rodris looked at Albert.

"This is my student." Bud introduced to Albert with a smile: "This is my old friend Rodrius. Don't look at him as just an old man now. This guy was once a duel champion, Barnabus. ·Winner of the Finkley Award for Outstanding Spellcasting Techniques, and an honorary veteran of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance."

“Hello, Mr. Rodris, my name is Albert, Albert Anderson, nice to meet you.” Albert said and shook hands with the old man.

“I seem to have heard of this name.” Rodres blinked and looked at Albert. He always felt that he had heard the name Albert Anderson somewhere.

"Albert is the international wizard chess champion and the magic school potion championship champion. It's normal for you to have heard of his name." Bud said proudly: "I brought him to Spain this time to participate in the Bana the day after tomorrow. Booth Finkley's excellent spell casting competition, maybe he can take home another trophy."

Rodris felt bad all of a sudden, and this time he accidentally made Bud sick again.

"Okay, we have to go, see you another day." Bud led Albert out of the Spanish Ministry of Magic in a happy mood. He seemed to notice Albert's strange eyes and explained with a smile: "Rodris used to be a This guy who likes to show off very much made me disgusted once, and then I decided to disgust him every time I meet him."

Albert was a bit dumbfounded. When he followed Bud out of the Ministry of Magic, he discovered that the Ministry of Magic in Spain was actually disguised as a supermarket, with a big "Closed for Renovation" sign hanging on the dusty door.

 They were surrounded by unfinished buildings and there were no other residents at all, so there was no need to worry about attracting the attention of Muggles.

 “Where are we going, are we signing up?”

 “Let’s go to the temporary accommodation first.” Bud motioned for Albert to follow him.

The two of them went to an unfinished building a hundred meters away from the supermarket. The buildings around them actually looked like unfinished buildings on the surface. Once they walked in, they would discover the secrets hidden inside.

It was a much cleaner bar than the Leaky Cauldron. The bar was quite lively, and many wizards were talking in low voices.

After the two entered the bar, the guests at several tables at the door stopped talking and cast curious glances at Albert and Bud.

"Barnabus Finkley's Excellent Spellcasting Competition will be held here. It was not here before, but later the owner of this bar sponsored the Barnabus Finkley Excellent Spellcasting Competition and moved the venue. Come here, even the name of the bar is changed to Barnabus Bar.”

“That boss is very smart.” Albert looked at the bar and felt that it was very similar to a Muggle bar. He felt that most of the bar's patrons were wizards competing in the Barnabus Finkley Contest for Excellent Spellcasting.

"Yeah, very smart." Bud led Albert to the bar and continued to introduce him: "This bar sponsors various international competitions every year. By the way, the bar owner is half a vampire. Literally That’s what it means.”

 “A bar opened by a vampire?” Albert found it very interesting.

 In this world, vampires are different from werewolves. They are actually somewhat similar to Veela. They are humanoid magical creatures that can produce offspring with humans, rather than relying on the so-called first embrace.

However, because some vampires can't control their urge to **** blood and kill the person they suck, they are very unpopular with wizards. Moreover, it is rumored that vampire fangs can be used to create a very advanced aphrodisiac, which directly leads to vampire hunters being happy to take care of them frequently.

 The two came to the bar and booked two luxurious rooms from the bartender, for which Bud paid a small bag of gold coins.

The magic currency used in Spain is somewhat similar to Galleons, but its value is not as high as Galleons. The latter is a common currency internationally.

"If I were you, I would be wary of the drinks that are handed to you. It is said that the bar owner's daughter Diana likes to hook up with handsome and promising young men in the bar." Before Albert took out the suitcase from the seamless stretch bag At this time, Bud reminded kindly.

 “Do half-vampires also **** blood?” Albert was surprised.

“Most half-vampires will still be partially affected, and blood will make them feel excited.” Bard seemed to know a lot about vampires, “Moreover, being sucked by a vampire is very dangerous.”

Albert looked at Bud suspiciously, thinking that the other person might have had a similar experience.

 “I’ve been tricked before.”

If it weren’t for Albert’s warning, Bud probably wouldn’t want to mention the dark history.

"Tell me about Barnabus Finkley's excellent spell casting skills!" Naturally, Albert would not ask for trouble by asking about Bard's dark history and directly changed the subject.

Although Albert's skill panel includes Voldemort's spell-casting techniques, he actually has no understanding of the rules and methods of this game.

"The competition is not what you think. The judges will let the contestants use magic wands to show their magical talents, and then score the contestants based on their spellcasting skills. After several rounds of screening, the final champion will be selected. By the way, since Ba After Nabs Finkley's excellent spell casting skills were moved here, the championship trophy has always been made of pure gold, so you don't have to complain that the trophy is gold-plated." At the end of the sentence, Bud said with a smile on the corner of his mouth A faint smile.
