Thanks to Aini's normal status in Muggle society, the professor who had been busy at Hogwarts for a whole school year appeared here after he retired from Privet Drive yesterday.
A small African town.
Well, although it seems inappropriate to call the capital of a country a small city, it is exactly the fact.
In fact, the population data released by Burkina Faso this year is only over 9 million, less than 10 million, and the Ouagado Valley has less than 700,000 people. If it were in a densely populated area, could it be called a city?
It's a problem.
You know, even in the UK, which is not known for its population density, the city that Aini just left has a population of more than 6 million.
Aini thought about his motherland again, 6 million? 9 million? Let’s see where it ranks among third-tier cities.
As for 700,000, haha.
Although it has a small population, thanks to the vast and sparsely populated nature of Africa, Burkina Faso has a territory of more than 270,000 square kilometers. It ranked 75th in the previous world rankings and can be considered a medium-sized country.
.
The residents of Burkina Faso are mainly engaged in farming, but there are rich mineral resources hidden in the medium-sized land. However, due to backward technology, the current situation is unstable all year round, and the mining rate is impressive.
As rich in mineral resources, there are also more than 60 tribes divided into two groups, large and small. They are distributed in every corner of the country and occupy a large amount of resources.
This is not only true for Muggles, but also for the wizarding world in Burkina Faso. Seven families control almost all the resources in the region, reducing the local Ministry of Magic to a decoration.
"Welcome to Ouagadou Valley, Professor Scamander." Aini arrived at the place agreed with Ms. Capet. Before he could say hello to the executive whom he had not seen for a long time, he saw an old wizard coming from
A man walked over from the dark brown wall and gave him a somewhat strange courtesy.
The export turned out to be very pure English.
In fact, African wizards have been troubled by language for a long time.
You may be able to hear seven or eight or even more dialects here after traveling dozens of miles. In a multi-faceted environment, no local language can be recognized by everyone. The communication between wizards
It has become a big problem.
Even now, the language barrier among the new students is one of the most troublesome problems at Ouagadu Magic College.
They urgently need a language, preferably a foreign language to break the deadlock. After all, you don’t obey me and I don’t obey you, so just learn a new language together.
What's more, this way, we can better learn from our colleagues from other places, which can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement.
Therefore, after the seventeenth century, as the influence of the Wizengamot increased in Africa, English naturally became the choice of most African wizards.
Therefore, most African wizards are proficient in English, while various families in Burkina Faso have more connections with the French wizarding world, and most of them know some French.
"This is Akazana Mosi, the chief of the Mosi tribe." Seeing the old wizard greeting him enthusiastically, Emma quickly followed and introduced the boss.
"Hello, Chief Moxi." Aini also returned an ancient noble gift. After looking at the old man carefully, he realized that Akazana was just standing by the wall just now, but he was wearing a dark brown wizard robe.
The natural skin color makes the old wizard magically blend into the environment.
"Seven of them, all with different patterns. Chief Simo is very generous and allows us to choose among the habitats of rune snakes." Cappe said loudly to Aini. Most African wizards are very good-looking, so they are very generous to us.
This should even be valued above interests.
"Ms. Kape came with friendship. The Mosi people never let their friends suffer." Sure enough, after hearing Kape's words, the smile on Akazana's face became brighter.
In fact, Cappe had already reported the acquisition of Rune Snake to Aini.
All rune snake habitats in Burkina Faso belong to the Mossi family, or tribe.
Africa is different from Europe. The relationship between wizards and Muggles is relatively close, and most of them live together in tribes.
Akazana is the chief of the Mossi tribe, a community where wizards and Muggles live together.
Wizards have a supreme status among Muggles. In addition to practicing magic, they also have a more important task, which is to spread branches and leaves.
Take Akazana, for example, an old man who seems to have a rather unattractive appearance. He has had a total of 86 wives and over a hundred children.
It's a pity that the probability of being born as a mixed-race wizard in Africa is very low. Among Akazana's children, only 7 have magical talents.
"Thank you so much, Chief Simo. I have loved magical creatures since I was a child, especially fascinating species like the rune snake." Aini also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the old chief.
Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, just a few kind words, no need to pay, maybe there will be times in the future to disturb you.
After complimenting each other a few more times, Akazana took out a coiled branch and motioned for them to put their hands up.
After the two of them complied, Akazana shook the branches and shook off some fragments, and then read out a dialect.
"Ah Tulu Tutuga."
As soon as the words fell, the three people disappeared.
When he appeared again, he had arrived at the land of the Mosi tribe.
After the transmission, the branch in Akazana's hand broke into another large piece. The old chief didn't care about this, and put it into his arms with a slight shake.
After the Dark Ages until the 17th century, the magic world in Africa was relatively isolated, which also made the painting style of wizards here completely different from that in Europe.
In fact, what Akazana was holding just now was not a branch, but a specially treated fig tree root.
African wizards will plant fig trees in specific locations and use magic to speed up their growth. After a series of complex processes, the removed tree roots become something like a door key.
No matter where you are, these roots can take you back to the place where they grew up and can be used repeatedly without recharging.
Using a fig root to teleport is much more comfortable than a portkey, as it will bear the burden of traveling through space for the wizard.
But it is also because of this that every time a tree root is used, a part will be broken. This is related to the number and energy level of the teleporter. Once the remaining part is not enough to pay the cost of traveling through space due to a calculation error, the teleporter will be destroyed in the process of traveling through space.
Forcibly exclude them.
There is a very small probability of splitting, and most of the time it will be directly destroyed in the broken space.
Of course, as a well-known chief of a large family in Burkina Faso, Akazana will naturally not use those overused dangerous goods.
Arriving at the Mossi tribe, Akazana temporarily left to deal with some matters, while Kapei took Aini to the guest room first.
"Have you found anything in the past few days?" Without any time to be polite, Aini couldn't wait to get to the point. It would be inconvenient for the old chief to come back and talk later.
"Not yet. I have identified three of them, but the guards nearby are very tight. In order not to alert others, I have not dared to arrange for anyone to test them."
