"This tent is a bit expensive..." Tom squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.
Of course it is expensive, this tent is almost as good as the Triwizard Tournament championship prize, but considering its functions in the desert, the price is very reasonable.
The clerk could see Tom's hesitation, so he recommended several cheaper tents to him. The main difference was in the interior decoration and size of the tents.
Tom tried to bargain, but the clerk was very tight-lipped and refused to give in. Perhaps he could only ask for a gift from him.
Tom came up with a bold idea: he could put the box with the traceless expansion spell in the tent, and then fold the tent and carry it on his back to realize the matryoshka doll.
However, this has a disadvantage: it costs money. Items with the Traceless Expansion Charm cast on them are ridiculously expensive - on the one hand, the spell is more difficult, and on the other hand, every item cast with this spell is expensive.
Report to the Ministry of Magic.
The clerk saw Tom's thoughts, and out of professional ethics, he coughed dryly: "Every item that is cast with the traceless expansion spell has a limited volume and weight that can be carried inside. If the weight exceeds the limit, it may cause damage to the body."
Damage to tent…”
Tom:……
No more nesting dolls.
The Invisible Expansion Charm is an advanced spell that can increase the internal space of a container, allowing "a hundred wizards to squeeze into a toilet cubicle". What's even better is that the weight of the container itself with this spell
There won't be any drastic changes. A small handbag that has been cast a traceless expansion spell, even if it is filled with books and clothes, will not be as heavy as a student's suitcase when leaving home and returning to school.
But this spell has a limit. There are two limits: volume and weight. Volume is easy to understand. If you expand the internal space to five cubic meters, then six cubic meters of things cannot be accommodated. Weight can be understood as load.
.Suppose the tent that Tom wants to buy can carry one thousand kilograms of items, and Tom stuffs a magic suitcase containing five hundred kilograms of items, then the remaining load of the tent will only be five hundred kilograms, because the nature of the items put in is still the same.
A suitcase containing 500 kilograms of items.
After some haggling, Tom finally bought the tent at the original price, but he managed to get the clerk to give him two cloth bags with traceless expansion spells - there was not much space, and he could only hold a few kilograms of things. Fortunately,
With the salary and royalties income from Lockhart's era, otherwise Tom would really have to spend a lot of money if he wanted to buy this tent.
After paying the money, Tom carried the tent on his back - it was very light, just like carrying a quilt. Since the tent package came with a very complete set of items, Tom felt that he had bought everything he needed to buy.
Just as he was about to leave Wieseek's Magical Supplies Shop, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye: a crystal ball with smoke swirling inside.
"How much does this cost?" he asked, pointing to the crystal ball.
"It's not worth much, so I'll give it to you." The clerk, who had just completed a large order, gave the crystal ball to Tom with a wave of his hand, and also stuffed an old book for him: "Pull Through the Fog to See the Future"
"This book is a very useful guide for divination methods such as palm reading and crystal ball observation." The clerk blinked, obviously he was skeptical about this.
After completing the purchase, Tom returned to Granger's house. Hermione was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge, but her complexion was extremely poor: her face was pale and bloodless, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of rice grains, but
Hermione didn't realize it, but she was still smiling. Even if she drowned in the ocean of knowledge, she was still happy at this moment.
Tom quickly grabbed her shoulders, shook her body vigorously, and at the same time took the crown off her head, and Hermione regained consciousness.
"Tom... I just learned a lot..." Hermione showed a weak smile, and then snuggled weakly on Tom's shoulder.
"Rest first!" Faced with this situation, Tom did not dare to take any other action. He adopted the safest strategy: put Hermione on her bed and let her sleep for a while.
Hermione fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow. Tom observed Hermione and saw that her breathing was even and long, and considering that Ravenclaw's reputation was quite normal, he felt relieved - if
This is a relic of Slytherin. Tom has already gone to find Dumbledore.
Hermione didn't wake up until the afternoon. She couldn't help but feel a little palpitated when she recalled what happened today.
"Next time you wear a crown, remember to tell me that you can't use this crown indiscriminately without my supervision." Tom made a serious agreement with Hermione.
"Okay, let's pull the hook!" Hermione held out her little finger.
…
People coming and going at London Heathrow Airport.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the agreed departure date arrived.
Hermione and Tom arrived a little earlier than the others. They agreed to meet at 11 o'clock, and Tom and Tom arrived half an hour early. At this time, Hermione had her hair neatly tied back and was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.
Wearing blue denim shorts and a leopard print belt around her waist, she looked very energetic. She carried very few things and only carried a small leather bag.
Next to her, Tom was dressed similarly to her, except that he wore an extra straw hat and his shirt was changed into a camouflage vest. He also carried an extra backpack with a rolled-up tent attached to it.
"You're so early!" Hal Hunter popped up. He and his students were all dressed the same: a pair of sturdy sportswear, a jacket and a hat to protect them from the wind and sun.
There are sunglasses hanging on the front and a scarf wrapped around the neck. They look like four adventurers.
Despite the hot weather in Egypt, this kind of dressing can effectively prevent sunburn. Of course, it is hot for sure...
Will frowned when he saw how Tom and Hermione were dressed, as if they were very dissatisfied with their unprofessional appearance, but Hal spoke before him.
"Little Granger, you look really smart today, but you can't go to the desert wearing such clothes. The sun there will burn your skin."
"Uncle, it doesn't matter. We have prepared local burqas, which are very suitable for the local environment," Hermione replied with a smile, "But which flight should we take?"
Hermione just checked that there are currently no flights with a suitable time at the airport.
"Let's go on a charter flight. Mr. Yuri has already arranged it for us," Hal snapped his fingers and lowered his voice slightly: "After all, we have to bring so many arms there!"
Tom also brought his revolver, but he was not worried about security checks at all. The items hidden in the magic suitcase would not be detected by Muggles.
After Alyosha's people have arrived, the adventure team will immediately set off for Egypt. According to the plan, they will take a charter flight to Cairo, and then spend two days in Cairo to adapt to the local climate and find a suitable guide before setting off.
