Tokyo University is the only ancient civilization in the world that has continued to this day, and in fact, there have been shamans in every dynasty.
Chi You, the "Master of War"; Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya "Master Strategist" Guiguzi, the "Sage of Strategy"; Zhuge Liang, the "Marquis of Wu"; Yuan Tiangang, the "Prodigy of His Generation"; Liu Bowen, the "Divine Calculator"...
Unlike the West, which launched witch hunts due to ignorance, Tokyo University, although it also had a period of persecution against wizards, did not develop into a systematic persecution that lasted for more than 300 years.
Vincent's curiosity about the Wizarding World around Dongda University earned Sheng Bai a lot of goodwill.
Whether Muggle or wizards, the West has always had a strange sense of superiority, believing that the East is synonymous with backwardness.
This prejudice also stems from arrogance and ignorance, while Vincent's attitude is completely the opposite; Sheng Bai can see that he genuinely admires the Wizarding World of Dongda.
After a proper Chinese meal, the two arrived at the Sky Street above Dragon Fort City.
Dragon Fort Sky Street is composed of a network of ancient bridges that crisscross like capillaries. The area is mainly dominated by street stalls, with small shops densely packed with various goods.
"Pathfinder coins at rock-bottom prices! One Galleon each, two Galleon for three!"
"Selling talismans! Freshly made, powerful!"
Vincent felt incredibly warm and familiar with the vendors' calls.
"Come and see, come and choose! The latest genuine Gwent cards, ten times the compensation for fakes!"
Vincent subconsciously stopped and looked at the colorful cards on the stall.
It was indeed the Death Eaters faction that was released separately to the overseas market last week. Voldemort had the most colored cards, priced at only 5 Silver Sickle per card.
Sheng Bai smiled knowingly, "Although there aren't many Eastern wizards Gwent, it's very popular in Hong Kong."
It was the right decision to release the Death Eaters faction separately in overseas markets. Once the cards seep into the British Wizarding World, Fudge will be furious.
In high spirits, Vincent, led by Sheng Bai, arrived at a shop that specialized in selling second-hand Magical Communicator.
The counter was almost entirely filled with low-priced local brands, with a few Prongs brands in the corner, but not a single one of the luxurious Nobili.
The communication industry in the Wizarding World is just emerging. Apart from wealthy Pure-blood gentlemen, ordinary wizards often prioritize cost-effectiveness.
Two hours later, Vincent, having made a great haul, left Dragon Fort Sky Street.
He bought a lot of trinkets like Exam Proxy Paper Figure, Cosmos Express Charm, Mystical Lantern, and Fortune Incense Coils.
"Mr. Wayne, would you like to stay here for a few more days? The Wizarding World in Guangdong is not far from Hong Kong; it only takes two hours to drive there."
"No, thank you." Vincent politely declined Sheng Bai's offer. "I'm currently wanted by the magical governments of both countries. It would be troublesome if I were recognized."
In fact, in the eyes of Easterners, Westerners all look pretty much the same, and vice versa.
Before leaving Dragon Fort City, Vincent asked Sheng Bai what those strange buildings were.
"The bronze vault wrapped in banyan trees is our bank, and the iron cage wrapped in steel bars is the Kuí Lóng Prison, the wizarding prison of the Hong Kong Wizarding World."
The giant, golden-glowing column is the Hong Kong Ministry of Magic, while the egg-shaped building with its surface shimmering with iridescent colors is the preschool for young wizards.
Vincent looked at the egg-shaped building with a strange expression, while Sheng Bai next to him explained the concept of preschool.
Due to cultural differences, children in the Tokyo University Wizarding World attend preschool to learn some basic magic knowledge as soon as they turn six.
As for how many days a week, that depends on the regulations of the local magic government.
Hong Kong has a two-day week, while Guangdong has a three-day week.
Jiangsu, Henan, and Shandong are the most demanding, with classes held six days a week, and "magic tutoring" classes everywhere.
Vincent's expression became even stranger after hearing this.
If he were reborn in the Wizarding World Dongda University, he would probably be either in a cram school or on his way to one.
Thinking about it this way, the students of Hogwarts are really lucky.
"Mr. Wayne?"
"Sorry, I was a little distracted."
Back at Kowloon Walled City Park, the sky had already donned a deep blue cloak.
The invisible La Voiture Noire slowly rose into the air, speeding away from the Pacific Ocean under a sky full of stars.
In summer, France is six hours behind Hong Kong, Vincent returned to Château Saint Jean in Molsheim just as evening was falling.
In just three days, the production base under construction underwent significant changes.
The Château Saint Jean grounds are naturally elegant, and adding a modern building would definitely disrupt the overall style.
Therefore, spurred by Eric's financial power, the designer's final design was to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
The meadow in front of the castle slopes upwards, forming a flat surface that seems to rise slowly from the ground.
Vincent had seen the blueprints and knew that grass would be planted on the slope and would extend all the way to the roof, with the total grass coverage reaching 30% of the building's roof area.
The ramp is already taking shape, and based on the current progress, it is estimated that it will be put into use by the end of the year.
Having eaten too much in Hong Kong, Vincent said goodbye to his parents and went back to his room to rest.
With its Africa, Middle East Branch, and Asia branches, plus its American branch, the Succession Society instantly expanded into a world-class organization after acquiring the legacy of the Wizards' Purity Party.
Once the Europe headquarters is rebuilt, it will be a force powerful enough to shake the International Confederation of Wizards.
But this level is far from enough. The Succession Society must surpass the peak of the Wizards' Purity Party and possess overwhelming power, otherwise it will be unable to completely destroy the old order in the Wizarding World where "hiding is safe".
Early in the morning, Vincent woke up and went for a short workout in the castle grounds.
Cheshire and the others, who were temporarily in charge of security, noticed that their boss seemed a little different than usual. It wasn't an external change, but rather an internal one.
After breakfast, Vincent received a blueprint document on his Magical Communicator.
Before he could even open it, Hermione's video call came in.
"I've designed the clothes."
She looked a little nervous on the projection screen. "If you're not satisfied, I have a few backup plans."
Vincent opened the blueprint document in split screen; it was a sleeveless hooded cloak.
He slid the projection screen and was amazed by the design on the back.
Pure white can appear too monotonous, while overly complex decorations can become a burden.
Therefore, Hermione extended his Magical Runes '?', with long, thin lines that stretched from his back to the entire cloak like stitching.
She also added some inconspicuous gold thorn patterns as embellishments to the brim of the hood, the front of the cloak, and the hem.
Vincent and Hermione exchanged slightly tense glances. "I really like this design, especially the thorn pattern."
Thorns can grow tenaciously in barren environments, symbolizing an indomitable will and the power of rebirth. They remind people to maintain strong mental strength and persevere even in adversity.
In addition, thorns are often seen as a symbol of hardship and difficulty, representing the challenges and predicaments faced in life, such as struggles in adversity or the torment of fate.
Resilience and rebirth, predicament and challenge—the thorn pattern perfectly Succession Society.
