The small cloth bag attached to the wizard's robe was secretly used by Tom to use the Traceless Stretching Charm. Although it appeared to be only the size of a palm, it was actually no less than a fifty-square-meter room.
The Traceless Stretch Spell is an advanced spell that can expand the original space.
On the surface, it is prohibited from being used privately by the Ministry of Magic, that is, the government of the wizarding world, but secretly, most wizards use it secretly because it is indeed a very convenient magic.
The main thing is that under normal circumstances, as long as you are not caught in front of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic (the wizarding police), they will not go out of their way to check whether your items have been cast with the Invisible Stretch Charm.
"Such a large rune snake is probably only found in this kind of primeval forest."
Passing by big trees, he was careful not to be attacked by other magical animals, while recalling the information about runes in Tom's memory.
The rune snake is native to the small African country of Burkina Faso. It is normally only two or three meters long. It was the favorite pet of ancient dark wizards and was specially used to scare Muggles (ordinary humans).
It is also the only magical animal in the wizarding world that lays eggs from its mouth. Its eggs can be used to make magic potions that stimulate brain reactions and are very valuable.
Although the rune snake Li Chuan killed did not lay eggs, it could grow to be seven or eight meters long. It should be sold for a lot of money in Knockturn Alley.
After all, in addition to eggs, the rune snake's venom and its skin are also very valuable.
When he was jumping in the Albanian forest and saw those strange and magical animals, he would avoid them if he could. Only when he couldn't avoid them would he kill them.
It's not because he has a kind heart to protect magical animals, it's mainly because those magical animals have their own abilities, and if they don't understand them, they might capsize in the gutter.
His current status is that he is a descendant of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Clan. Although it has declined, he still has some wealth. In addition, he also runs a herbal medicine shop in Diagon Alley, so he is not very short of gold galleons.
So there is no need to provoke those magical animals whose abilities are unclear before you have established a foothold.
Galloping all the way, with the help of strong physical fitness and chakra, he finally left the Albanian forest and returned to the city of Albany before dark.
Based on Tom's memory, he found the Wizarding Inn in Albany and rested for a night. The next day he came to the Ministry of Magic in Albany.
The Ministry of Magic in Albany has only three floors. The entrance is a striking black pine tree in the city park. Because it is under a Muggle shielding spell, only wizards can see it.
As long as you touch the black pine tree, you will be taken to the hall on the second floor of the underground Ministry of Magic.
Perhaps because the Muggles in this country had just overthrown the local government and established a republic, it was quite chaotic, so there were not many wizards in the Ministry of Magic.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
Seeing Li Chuan appear in the hall, a witch wearing glasses and reading a magic book stood up and asked him.
At this time, Li Chuan looked like Tom Foley in the eyes of people in this world, with obvious characteristics of a British aristocrat, so the witch spoke somewhat broken English.
"I would like to rent a portkey."
Li Chuan replied politely.
Most ordinary wizards travel long distances across countries by taking ships and trains just like ordinary people. The wealthier ones choose to go to the Ministry of Magic and spend money to rent portkeys.
The door key is a special space magic prop that allows multiple people to move in space over long distances.
You can also use a broomstick, but generally you won't do it unless you have to, because it can easily be blown away if the distance is too far.
As for Apparition, Floo Powder and Wizard Bus, they basically all have their own restrictions.
Apparition can only teleport to places you have visited. The distance depends on your mastery of this magic, but most people cannot teleport too far.
Floo powder requires a fireplace connected to the Floo network to be used, and wizard buses basically travel within cities in various countries.
Of course, there are also special travel tools such as Pegasus carriages and magic ships, but they are not available to ordinary wizards, and they also require relevant documents.
Tom Foley is neither poor nor particularly rich, so he basically chooses portkeys for cross-country travel.
"On the third underground floor, just ask Wizard Alia at the Portkey Office."
The witch pointed to Li Chuan at the magic spiral staircase in front and replied.
Li Chuan nodded and took the automatically rotating wooden stairs to the third underground floor where he found the Aliya wizard.
After registering and paying one gold galleon and twelve silver sickles, Wizard Alia pointed to the white wizard statue next to him and said:
"Just put it on his shoulders."
Gold Galleons are the currency of the wizarding world. One Gold Galleons is equal to seventeen silver Sickles, and one Silver Sickle is equal to twenty-nine Copper Nats.
The purchasing power of a normal gold galleons is equivalent to five pounds in ordinary human society. Of course, this refers to more than sixty years later, and it is estimated that it will be higher in this time period.
One pound and twelve silver coins. To be honest, most wizards are really reluctant to spend this money.
However, it is indeed great value for money.
Because as soon as Li Chuan put his hands on the shoulders of the statue, he felt his body being hooked by something and his feet were lifted off the ground. When he realized it again, he had already appeared in the Department of Magical Transportation on the sixth basement floor of the Ministry of Magic in London.
"It's really magical. I went from Albania to London in an instant."
Li Chuan looked at the wizards from all over the world who were being transported by portkeys like him, as well as the wizards who were leaving on various portkeys, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
After also completing the registration, he took the magic elevator to the lobby on the eighth floor based on his memory.
The Ministry of Magic in London has ten floors in total, which is more than ten times larger than the Ministry of Magic in Albania. It is also very majestic and can even be described as magnificent.
Especially the eye-catching Magic Brothers Fountain made entirely of gold.
Moreover, there are a lot of wizards here, and they are all densely packed with heads. In addition to the huge number of employees of the Ministry of Magic itself, there are also various wizards who come to handle business.
Some of them were holding piles of crumbling parchment in their arms, some were carrying tattered briefcases, and some were reading magic newspapers as they walked.
When Li Chuan walked towards the location of the Floo Network fireplace diagonally opposite the main hall, he could easily glance at the contents of the newspapers with his eyesight that was better than that of ordinary people.
"The terrifying Dark wizard Grindelwald's escape from an international manhunt is being celebrated by his fanatical followers.
Serafina Picquery, president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, believes that the responsibility for the failure of this arrest lies solely with Heinrich Eberstadt, the Swiss representative of the International Confederation of Wizards."
