Hofburg Palace,

As the city of Vienna, it can be said to be world-famous.

First of all, it covers a large area.

The Habsburg dynasty had a tradition that emperors could not live in the rooms of their former emperors.

Therefore, every generation of emperors expanded the Winter Palace, and finally formed a scale of 240,000 square meters.

Secondly, this palace has a long history.

It dates back to 1279, and it took six hundred years of expansion when the New Hofburg Palace was completed in 1926.

At that time, Carl I, the last emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, had been abdicated for eight years.

Today, Hofburg Palace has become the Presidential Palace and Government of the Federal Republic of Austria.

Ceremonies for receiving state guests are usually held here.

In addition to the president's office, some areas will serve as exhibition venues and cultural facilities for tourists to visit.

Basic status and the Palace Museum.

Even so, the palace was still too large, so the Austrian Ministry of Magic simply moved its headquarters here.

Since the Confidentiality Law, I have been hiding for hundreds of years and can’t enjoy it yet. Can I enjoy it?!

Similarly, this International Wizarding Conference will be held here.

William felt comfortable when he thought of staying in the palace for a few days.

It's like driving into the Forbidden City... It's so cool.

Compared to the Church of St. Mark in Venice, it is a luxurious feast.

As for Misandai, judging from the palace outfit, William has already regarded her as the little maid here.

As the carriage deepened, various grand and glittering palace buildings continued to appear.

William looked at the buildings and suddenly remembered that he had seen Hayao Miyazaki's "Hal's Moving Castle" in his previous life.

The material of the royal palace comes from this Hofburg Palace.

The Renaissance architectural style takes into account the column style of ancient Greek architecture and the semicircular arches of ancient Rome... the scene is completely consistent.

In fact, the clothes of the soldiers in the movie are also the styles of Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

The war caused by the cursed prince is particularly in line with the World War I that broke out due to the Sarajevo incident.

Just as William fell into deep thought, Graling ran quickly and stepped into a bridge arching on the lake.

As soon as the carriage was halfway through, William heard a loud "hissing" sound? The sound came from the stone pillars of the bridge.

The lingering mist suddenly began to gush, rolling into the lagoon? Flocking to the carriage? Swallowed William and Hermione.

It's actually a fog sculpture?

"Mist sculpture" is created with visible gas as a medium? That is, first concreteize the fog and then slowly dissipate, so it is quite original.

Moreover, because the wind and atmosphere conditions are different every day, the fog sculptures that appear are also of different shapes.

This unique art actually appeared in the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

Sure enough? Vienna is indeed quite romantic? Even the wizards have become art.

The hissing of the small bridge came to an abrupt end? William looked at the fog covering the lagoon? Sometimes it rotated? Sometimes it sneaked? It seemed as if it had its own ideas.

This scene is illusory and dizzying.

He could also feel that there was a magic in the fog, similar to Floor Powder, which changed the positions of the three people.

They are clearly entering the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

This is more than the telephone booth outside the British Ministry of Magic? I don’t know how high it is.

The smoke slowly dissipated? The carriage was still on the bridge? But the scene in the distance had been completely changed, and a special hall appeared without warning.

A group of huge white columns two hundred feet tall, next to the towering glass curtain wall? It reaches the arched dome.

Above the dome, halogen spotlights shine with pure white light. The crisscrossing corridors hung in the air, traveling across the entire Ministry of Magic.

A giant stone, located in the middle of the hall, said:

Mut und Willenskraft.

This is a German phrase, meaning "courage and will".

In the wall not far away, there is a glass elevator that quietly goes down the wall and returns to the ground to pick up other wizards.

In the corners around, there were many Aurors guarding the police.

"We're here." Misandai got off the carriage, dragged the court skirt, and guided William and Hermione step by step.

After passing a series of extremely strict security checks, the two came to a sign-in table. A young witch was registering.

Looking at the breastplate on the two people's clothes, she could tell at a glance that this was the delegate of the International Wizarding Conference.

The International Wizarding Conference is not only attended by representatives from various countries, but also has many followers of wizards and media reporters from various countries.

People of different identities have different colors of badges.

But the problem arises again.

The age of representatives of various countries is generally very large, but William and Hermione's faces are too immature and they are obviously students.

The two of them could not be representatives, but they still had a badge of similar colors, so they could only be the kind of person who spoke at the conference.

He is still so young to speak at the International Wizards Conference... only those two exist.

She glanced at the name on the breastplate, and it turned out to be the famous Stark and Granger.

"Welcome to the International Wizarding Conference." The witch said quickly in English.

"I need to check the wands of both."

William and Hermione handed over the wand, and the witch took it and put it on the wand detector.

The machine began to vibrate slightly, and a narrow parchment quickly spit out from a hole at the bottom.

The witch pulled the paper off and compared the list of reports in advance.

No problem!

She smiled again and asked more: "Don't you two have spare wands?"

William and Hermione shook their heads at the same time and said in unison: "There is no backup."

There is no spare one…but there are many collections.

The witch is searching for William and Hermione's names on a long list of guests.

After she found it, she handed over two room cards with numbers and names.

“This is a room card for two people.”

Hermione reached out to take the room card, just looked at the door number, and put it in his own safety chart.

Misandai stood not far away and noticed this detail. Although she was still expressionless, her eyebrows were slightly raised.

The inspection was completed, and William and Hermione walked towards Misandai.

Misander was rarely interested and said, "Is this a magic wand made by Ollivand?"

William nodded, glanced at the blue wand that was half exposed in her sleeve.

"This is Mr. Grigovic's last work," said Misandé. "He is the best wand merchant."

William found that the girl was a little straightforward and asked softly: "Where is Mr. Grigovic's wand shop?"

"Mr. Grigovic is retired, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find where he is," said Misandé.

Retired?

William also wanted to find Grigovic to make a few spare wands.

What a pity.

"I'll take you two to your room. After you have rested, I'll take you to visit Hofburg." Misander said softly.

"Just take us to the room, let's go and visit ourselves." Hermione said embarrassedly. "Don't bother you."

Misandai insisted: "It's not a problem at all. Until the end of the meeting, I will be responsible for both of them."

She added with a straightforward sentence: "This is what the minister ordered. He said that he must take good care of both of you and meet all your requirements.

But you must stay in a row, especially you, Mr. Stark.”

“…”

Do your ministers know that you are so straightforward?

And...why do you follow me? Will I destroy Hofburg or Vienna?!

William suddenly looked up and down at Misandai and said with a smile: "Can I really meet all my requirements?"

Misandai nodded and said calmly: "It is my only mission to let you enjoy this visit before tomorrow's meeting begins."

William held his chin and said slowly, "Okay, I need you...

Let me inform your minister that Hermione and I are going to visit Newmongaard….”
