Portkey

As is well known, the Mentos Curses cannot be used alone; it must be attached to an object to create Portkey.

The making of Portkey has almost no requirements regarding the objects used. Whether it's an exquisite pocket watch or a worn-out shoe, as long as it's not something that breaks at the slightest touch, it can be made into Portkey.

This means that the Portkey is not a magical item; as its name suggests, it is simply a key.

The principle behind the Portkey is to use magic to imprint the afterimage of an object onto a space at a certain location.

Once the Portkey is activated, the previously imprinted afterimage will also be activated simultaneously.

At this point, in terms of spatial concept, the object should be located at the location of the afterimage.

But in reality, the object is not at the location of the afterimage.

This conceptual conflict causes the object to instantly return to its rightful place. At the same time, the wizard who touches the Portkey will also be taken to the destination by the object.

During this process, the wizard was firmly stuck to the Portkey, as if there was a hook that was hooked onto his navel.

This feeling cannot be diminished, otherwise it could easily cause the wizard to drop out halfway, and what would happen then, only heaven knows.

Therefore, even though Bell's Side-Along Apparition skill was already quite high, and he could interfere with space through magic to reduce the feeling of spatial compression, he still couldn't alleviate the uncomfortable feeling of his navel being hooked when using the Portkey.

That's why he doesn't like using Portkey.

Incidentally, because it does not require breaking through the spatial barrier between the real world and the dimensional space, the magic power required to make the Portkey is not much, and the user does not need to consume any additional magic power, making it suitable for long-distance instantaneous teleportation.

However, conceptually imprinting the afterimage of an object into space is not an easy task, making the creation of Portkey relatively difficult. This also means that using Portkey for short-distance spatial movement is a laborious and inefficient endeavor.

"But how are we going to get to United States without Portkey?"

Elena said, distressed.

She certainly hadn't forgotten that feeling; on the contrary, it left a very deep impression on her.

Apart from the time she returned from Japan, she has visited the United States several times over the years, though not often, to see her family and take care of some matters.

Every time she used her Portkey to travel to or from the United States United States, she would lose her appetite for several days, feeling as if there was something foreign in her stomach. That feeling was incredibly uncomfortable.

"Let's take Flying Car! I'll drive!"

The new generation racing legend, Shanna, volunteered.

She enjoys driving her "Bena" around, and even more so, she loves the exhilarating feeling of flooring the gas pedal!

"No!"

Elena rejected her youngest daughter's suggestion without hesitation.

Just kidding, they didn't apply to the Magical Congress of the United States of America for flight entry beforehand, and they certainly wouldn't go through the trouble of submitting an application just for something like this.

Therefore, if they were to fly directly into the United States in Shanna's Flying Car, it would be considered an illegal intrusion. What if they were shot down?

They were going to attend their sister Helena's wedding, not to declare war on the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Furthermore, the thought of this made Elena furious.

Back then Bell, that troublesome guy, actually secretly made Shanna fly around the earth without telling them.

If Shanna hadn't let it slip while showing off, they would still be in the dark!

"Ugh~!"

Shanna pouted unhappily and looked at her Gege.

My older Gege is definitely the best. Whenever my parents see me Flying Car, they always make a big fuss, but my Gege doesn't. Instead, he praises me for driving well.

With a smile, Bell ruffled Shanna's hair and said:

"We can just Side-Along Apparition there while activating the Portkey. Then we can just say we went there using the Portkey."

"Side-Along Apparition!?"

But that's United States! How could someone be so close to their destination at such a distance?

Besides, how much magic power would that require! Even if I combined all my magic power, it might not be enough.

Elena looked at her son in surprise. She now seriously suspected that Bell was making excuses to stay in Britain because he couldn't bear to leave his comfort zone.

That won't do!

Helena is Bell's aunt, how could Bell not attend his aunt's wedding?

And most importantly, their parents are going crazy missing Bell and Shanna. If they hadn't been so busy, they probably would have already gone back to Britain or sent the two siblings to United States.

In fact, if it weren't for her and William's desperate attempts to stop them, the four old people would have already planned to transfer Bell and Shanna to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States.

Just kidding, she would never let her children go to that lousy United States magic school. She doesn't want Bell and Shanna to be so far away from her!

"Mom, I told you a long time ago that I wanted you to go to the Mars Base."

That invaluable experience of interstellar, long-range Side-Along Apparition will greatly enhance your Side-Along Apparition skills.

It had been almost a year since he last suggested that his parents go to the Mars Base, and Bell really didn't expect that his mother hadn't been there yet.

Since the mother had never been there, it was even less likely that the father, who was a workaholic who cared little about his own abilities and was preoccupied with the family business, would have been there.

"Uh... well, I've just been too busy lately."

Elena's eyes darted around, unable to look her son in the eye.

In fact, after receiving Bell's suggestion, she went to investigate the relevant information.

Unlike her lazy husband, she was very interested in becoming stronger.

However, after watching the relevant film and television materials, she hesitated.

As a beautiful woman, and a very image-conscious one at that, Elena always dressed impeccably and never showed any disheveled side to outsiders.

Therefore, when she saw the wizards in the video who, after completing the teleportation, were kneeling or lying down, with tears and snot streaming down their faces, vomiting uncontrollably, she hesitated.

The thought that she might end up like that if she went to the Mars Base and was seen by many people sent chills down her spine.

She vowed that if things really turned out that way, she would kill all the witnesses and bury her dark history forever in blood and corpses!

"... Never mind, come here and grab my arm, I'll take you there together."

Seeing his mother like this, Bell couldn't bear to say anything more.

Take your time.
