Chapter 268: Castelobruxo
This Ministry worker was a young woman with black hair and brown skin, wearing short sleeves and shorts. Such attire was rarely seen in the British magical world. Almost never. But in the Brazilian Ministry of Magic, from what Sean could see in the distance, it wasn't uncommon, mostly among young people, like some kind of fashion.
But thinking about it, that made sense. Brazil was in the tropics, and even with magic, it couldn't provide comfort everywhere at all times. In such hot weather, wearing full robes would be inconvenient even with magical temperature control. This situation was quite reasonable.
"Please present your travel documents."
Aldrich immediately took out a roll of parchment from his person. After the other party used magic to confirm it wasn't forged, they immediately applied the Brazilian Ministry of Magic's magical seal to the parchment, giving the three of them official status.
"That's done. You may leave now. The left side of the main door leads to the transportation hub, where you can find transportation to various places in Brazil's magical world. I hope you enjoy your time in Brazil."
After saying this, the female worker left.
Sean, Aldrich, and Jensen weren't in too much of a hurry to travel. They toured the inside of the Brazilian Ministry of Magic, looking at what resembled a giant greenhouse. It was quite refreshing. The integration with nature here was definitely incomparable to other ministries.
"It's a very nice place. Working here must be refreshing every day."
"The young master is wise."
Looking helplessly at Aldrich, Sean laughed: "You must be too busy lately. Your flattery feels a bit stiff."
"My apologies, young master. I'll work hard to regain my form."
Chuckling softly, the three of them came to the transportation hub next to the Brazilian Ministry of Magic. Looking at the buses, various carriages, and even numerous magical creatures in the hub, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
While Sean was amazed by the scale here, Aldrich had already learnt from a nearby attendant about transportation to Castelobruxo and led Sean and Jensen directly to the core area of the transportation hub. There was an elongated Lincoln sedan here. The very transportation to Castelobruxo.
"We're going to Castelobruxo for exchange studies. We're from..."
Before Aldrich could finish speaking, a young man in short sleeves and shorts opened the car door and jumped out. He looked at the three of them and smiled very enthusiastically: "No need to say more. Anyone going to Castelobruxo for exchange studies can get in. We'll safely deliver you to the school."
Seeing the enthusiastic young man, Sean and the others didn't say anything more and directly followed him into the car.
When Sean entered the automobile, he discovered that the space inside this elongated sedan was astonishingly large. By his estimate, the space inside was like three train cars put together, with two wide seats on each side, all looking like leather sofas. Very luxurious.
There weren't many people in the car at this time, because Castelobruxo was currently in the pre-exam preparation period for finals. There weren't many stubborn students who dared to go out and have fun at this time.
Sitting in the sedan, Sean was about to say something to Aldrich when, as the previous conductor sat down, the car door slammed shut. At the same time, three safety belts extended from the car seats, firmly securing the three of them to their seats, giving Sean an ominous premonition.
But before Sean could say anything, the car suddenly shot forward like a stretchable rubber snake, constantly elongating and thinning in the transportation hub, weaving around everywhere. It rushed out of the transportation hub, then along streets full of traffic in a way invisible to ordinary people, rapidly moving forward, sometimes drilling into sewers, sometimes driving along the walls of buildings on both sides of the street. In the blink of an eye, it had driven out of the city, entered the countryside, and arrived in nearby dense forests.
The people inside the car, including Sean, felt like they were riding a roller coaster. After an unknown amount of time, the car suddenly stopped. If not for the safety belts on the seats, Sean felt he would have crashed directly into the front windscreen.
"Aldrich, Jensen, I think we should consider a different mode of transportation next time."
Hearing Sean's words, Aldrich supported his waist with one hand while nodding: "The young master is wise..."
Even Aldrich could only manage to say "wise" at this point. He temporarily couldn't say anything more.
As for Jensen...
He was already foaming at the mouth, his head tilted to one side, barely breathing.
The three of them got out of the car one by one, paid some money, and watched the car disappear into the forest in the blink of an eye, truly feeling like they had survived a disaster.
But just then, a dark-skinned middle-aged woman wearing robes and sporting an afro came before them and asked: "Are you the party of Mr. Bulstrode from Britain?"
The dark-skinned middle-aged woman was speaking Portuguese, Brazil's official language.
Under the effect of the translation beans, all three heard it as English.
Hearing her words, Aldrich immediately displayed his professionalism, turning to politely shake hands with her and introducing himself: "Hello, this is my young master, Sean Bulstrode. I am the young master's personal attendant. You may call me Aldrich. Finally, this is...
A sidekick."
"Aldrich, you bastard..." Jensen looked at him and immediately introduced himself: "My name is Jensen, and I'm also the young master's..."
However, before Jensen could finish his introduction, Aldrich took Sean and the middle-aged woman and walked directly toward the front entrance of Castelobruxo.
As they walked, he said: "We're here for exchange studies. Please help us..."
Looking at Jensen, whose hair was practically standing up with anger, Sean was both amused and exasperated. He didn't know what was going on between Aldrich and Jensen. Despite rarely meeting each other, Aldrich always seemed to clash with Jensen, and the two constantly tried to trip each other up.
"Alright, let's go."
Patting Jensen on the hand, the two of them followed Aldrich through the entrance together.
From outside the gate, Castelobruxo appeared as a massive ruin in the forest, covered with various vegetation. But when Sean followed the female professor through the gate, what met his eyes was a huge square castle built with golden bricks, surrounded by abundant plantings with countless magical creatures living freely within!
