Chapter 166 164. Where is the ship?
"So, later on he will set off a massacre in the French magic world, and we will be included in this goal by him." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "He will definitely prevent us from taking advantage of this opportunity and the current resistance forces in France In order to cause him even more trouble."
When he said this, almost all the top executives of the Order of the Phoenix had gathered around him.
There are the Weasleys, Moody, Kingsley, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Lily, Sirius, and Lupine who were here from the beginning.
Kingsley asked calmly.
"So what should we do next? Shall we go to France first?"
"Of course we are going to France. We can't let the Dark Lord wantonly massacre those innocent people, and the United Kingdom has already been stabilized by him. If we want to develop ourselves, we can only strengthen our own strength from the outside."
Dumbledore said solemnly.
"But it's not enough now. Before we go to France, we still want some other assistance."
The rest of the Order of the Phoenix had stood up, and they gathered around Dumbledore.
Fawkes, who was dozing on a branch of a tree not far away, seemed to feel the call, and it flapped its wings and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.
Soon, all the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix disappeared on this cliff facing the sea.
In a distant place, the bonfire on the ground was beating, and an old man with gray hair and wearing a long black trench coat was sitting on a chair beside him.
The jumping flames floated in his eyes. Behind him, many old people who looked not too young could guess what their master was thinking now.
Soon, countless apparition sounds resounded in this land.
Wizards from the Order of the Phoenix landed one after another, and the leader at the front was Dumbledore with a calm face.
The old man sitting in front of the bonfire looked up at him, and the two looked at each other. Neither of them said the first sentence first, and the scene became a little cold for a while.
Because the people standing behind the two old men couldn't help but look at each other with some scrutiny and hostility in their eyes.
The first person to break the silence was the old man who was standing up from the chair, and he stretched out a hand towards Dumbledore.
Just when Dumbledore showed a smile on his face, and the subordinates behind the old man all showed unwilling expressions, the Dark Lord who had taken the step of conquering the whole of Europe earlier than Voldemort said coldly Said.
"Before discussing other matters, pay me back the wand debt for the first half of the year."
Jon quickly organized the work on the Hogwarts on the second day of the voyage.
Although this wooden boat does not need to be driven, the overall organizational structure cannot be left behind.
He appointed George as the first mate, Neville as the second mate, Hermione as the comptroller responsible for statistics, supervision and distribution of various supplies on board, Fred as the boatswain responsible for the basic discipline management of the students, and let a man named Love Lois Midgen's fourth-grade girls run the kitchen and second-grade Colin Creevey acts as a lookout to watch the sea.
And the most important of these is naturally Hermione's work.
After statistics, the storage room is rich in materials and there is no shortage of food resources. At least it can maintain the normal life of everyone on board for more than half a year. Naturally, fresh water resources will not cause trouble to them as wizards.
Clear water like a spring is not such a profound spell, basically all students above the third grade know it, and the water conjured by this spell can be drunk normally.
There is also the problem of seasickness, which did not exceed Jon's expectations. After most of the students' excitement passed that night, more than 20 of them developed symptoms of seasickness.
It's just that there is no good solution, or you don't need to think of a solution, as long as you let them vomit and vomit, they will get used to it later.
But this also temporarily caused half of the people on the ship to look weak these days, and spent most of their time resting in the dormitory, seemingly lacking energy.
But Jon has not been idle during this time, he must now start to find a way to solve the first problem they will face after setting sail.
That's where they are now.
There was a complete map of Britain on the carriage, and on the second afternoon of the voyage, Jon and his first and second officers gathered in the lounge to study that map.
"I think we probably came out of the sea from the west coast of northern England." George pointed to the small dot on the map of England's coastal city of 'Whitehaven', "In my impression, I saw something similar to this place name during the day. Like the signboard, then the direction of the carriage should be heading west, and the sea area where we are now has a high probability of being the Irish Sea!"
George said eloquently.
Jon looked forward in the direction of his finger. According to what he said, the direction they are sailing now should be facing the Isle of Man.
It's just that before his voice fell, Neville put forward a different statement about it.
"It's true that we were wandering the west coast of northern England during the day, but the carriage was moving so fast that half a day was enough for it to go through things. You should have turned around in the evening, George, we didn't go west, but To the east. In other words, we don’t enter the sea from the west coast, it should be the east coast, and this sea area should be the North Sea.”
He points to this stretch of sea between Great Britain and Denmark.
It's just that George doesn't seem to agree with his statement very much. He still thinks that the Hogwarts should not have left the UK yet, and is wandering in the sea between Ireland and the British Isle.
Neither of them could convince the other, and finally they both looked at Jon.
Jon actually had a headache at this time.
During the day, he spent all his energy trying to deal with Voldebat, so how could he have time to judge where the carriage was and in which direction it was running?
And the entire sea is endless, and there is no reference point, and they have no way to rely on the surrounding environment to judge the position.
Perhaps some old crew members can rely on the astrology to determine their orientation, but there are still more than 20 people on board today suffering from seasickness. Where can we find old crew members?
Just when they were frowning, Colin, who was in charge of observing the sea conditions, suddenly broke into the lounge.
He was out of breath, with excitement and fear on his face.
"Captain Green! I, I found a cargo ship!"
