In the Underwater City of the Bermuda Triangle, accompanied by a red light imperceptible to ordinary wizards, Ryan opened his eyes. But Ryan was still pondering, a long-lost sense of novelty filling Ryan heart.

This city is so interesting. Even a wizard wouldn't be able to find this place without a contract and the guidance of the Poseidon.

Like Durmstrang, its location is unknown, and it is difficult for wizards other than Durmstrang to find, and it is kept a closely guarded secret.

Just like in the original book, when Krum talks to Hermione about school life. "Ah, we also have a castle, but I don't think it's as big or as comfortable as this one."

"Ours only has four floors, and it can only be lit when magic is being cast. But our space is much more spacious than this one—"

"But the days are short in winter, so we can't play on the field. In the summer, we Accio outside every day, over lakes and over mountains—" He was then interrupted by the principal at the time Karkaroff.

"Alright, alright, Viktor!"

"Don't reveal any more secrets, or your charming friend will find out where we are!"

Even so, after Voldemort's resurrection, Karkaroff still left the so-called secret Durmstrang and fled alone, eventually dying in a cabin, having only been in hiding for a year.

It would be interesting if Karkaroff had taken the Terror Trips when he was young; I wonder if Voldemort could have found this place.

"Kate, you can go out now," Ryan said, suddenly looking up.

"When did you get back?" Kate was taken aback and almost blurted out, thinking to herself.

"I'm really curious how these wizards, who are on the Terror Trips, will introduce this city and their vision." Ryan smiled slightly.

Kate, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, grabbed Ryan and led the way to the places that had caught her eye in the passageway.

Along the way, the wizards here seemed completely unfazed by Ryan and his companion's unusual attire. Although they noticed that the two were outsiders, they glanced at them with a lukewarm yet slightly curious look.

The ground here is not paved with any tiles or pebbles, but is completely natural, similar to the ground in the Zombie Trail. It looks ordinary, but the dirt doesn't stick to your shoes at all.

The sky features a large, virtual sun. From Ryan's professional perspective, it doesn't emit light using magic, but rather collects it—collecting the natural sunlight that shines on the sea.

The most common sight in the surrounding shops is all sorts of fish tanks, some adorned with red coral, others topped with a shark's dorsal fin.

Wearing it on your head allows you to breathe underwater.

There are also all kinds of clothing stores. Ordinary wizard costumes are very rare. Most of them are made from sea creatures as raw materials and then enchanted.

Kate was like a curious little deer, asking about prices and striking up conversations every now and then.

Then, the city's history, layout, mission, and so on were gradually revealed to Ryan and his companions during their conversation.

There are many here, all of them composed of wizarding families that are generally considered to be extinct.

Perhaps for the sake of procreation, there is an unexpected disregard for Pure-blood here. As long as you are a wizard, you can enjoy education without having to work. You only need to choose a research topic and occasionally publish papers.

Meanwhile, the Muggle families of the occasional Squib and Half-blood wizard are responsible for the service industry, doing simple jobs that are deliberately left to those who do not have magic.

When Kate heard about the paper, she immediately asked if she could borrow it.

Surprisingly, the academic papers and journals here, although not allowed to circulate outside, are almost ubiquitous, like the Daily Prophet.

You can grab any Muggle and start a conversation, exchanging a few simple words about magic.

Even with Ryan's Detection, most of the wizards here are level 4 or higher in Charmcraft. Unlike the graduates of Hogwarts, whose Charmcraft are supported by a few high-level spells, they are very average, with most common spells matching their Charmcraft level.

"Ryan, come and take a look." Kate pulled Ryan to sit on a chair by the roadside and opened a magazine that a passerby had just given her.

It's such a neat layout. Unlike the Daily Prophet, there's only one page for gossip, flying machines, and sea monster piloting competitions; the rest is all about magic.

Improvements to the Confundus Charm, how to grow food on the seabed, the captivity of sea creatures, and the development of the Protection Spell.

It's truly astonishing.

It turns out I'm the clown; the wizarding society I once dreamed of has already been achieved by other wizards.

Indeed, there was never just one clever person, and the wizards had also been watching the development of Muggle.

How could a wizard with a personality similar to Ravenclaw House succumb to reality and forget his thirst for knowledge for Galleons?

The reason why there are so many wizards like Lockhart in the wizarding world is probably because many more idealistic wizards secretly connect with each other to create their own sanctuary.

Dark Lord, White Wizard, they're all just fluff.

Faced with these Pure-blood, wizard-supremacist, or powerful wizards who bring everything to love, a group of wizards declared they were done playing with them, jumped off the chessboard, and established their own community and home.

Previously, through the mind of the hostess on the Terror Trips, Ryan also learned that in addition to the seabed of the Bermuda Triangle, there seemed to be a group of wizards living in seclusion on the moon.

So the aliens Armstrong mentioned during his moon landing were wizards?

So besides the Moon, are there any on Mars? And on even more distant planets?

Ryan suddenly felt a bit bored. Dumbledore was just an ordinary person who had not reformed society or put forward any more progressive ideas.

After briefly glancing at the journal, Kate even asked a passerby if there was a library in the very center of the city, where any wizard could still borrow books.

Even Muggle and Squib can read it if they want, the only difference being that they can't take it out of the library; they can only read it inside.

The books and periodicals here are different; according to a certain bald Muggle, they are rather "outdated," containing knowledge that is not useful in the deep sea. For example, there is a spell that, during a full moon, can forcibly and temporarily reverse Werewolf into a human.

Dragon healing, nurturing magic, Animagus improvements, etc.

In this situation, Kate completely forgot about the fish tank and playing on the other side of the city (the seabed). If Ryan hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have wanted to stay there all night.

As dusk fell, the sun in the sky slowly shone into a crescent shape, radiating a bright moonlight, but even then, no staff member came up to explain or introduce the city.

Ryan suddenly realized that there was no need for any introduction here; everything that had happened along the way was the best introduction.

Ryan initially tried to find fault, such as the oppression of non-magical people, but Ryan discovered that their treatment of non-magical people was closer to how kind people in his previous life treated the disabled.

After all, with magic, there's no need for ordinary people's services. The fact that some positions are specially reserved for them shows the city's attitude.

There is a dark side here, but the contract that prevents mutual harm eliminates it. All competition is transformed into healthy competition such as writing articles, piloting aircraft and sea monsters, and singing.
