Chapter 4266 4268【Escape】
Xiang Nan took Rose to perform a phantom transformation. When they appeared again, Rose was stunned.
“Here is…” She was so surprised that she didn’t know why.
They saw that they were in a circular room with an extremely wide field of vision. Looking into the distance, they could see a modern city right in front of them, a green arm holding a torch high, and the Titanic slowing down. Slow entry into port…
“Yes, this is the symbol of the United States, the Statue of Liberty.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1886 and is located on Liberty Island in New York City. And where they are now is the observation deck of the Statue of Liberty, located where the crown is on the goddess' head.
“Wow~” Rose couldn’t help but screamed excitedly.
The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom, and she is truly free now.
Standing on the Statue of Liberty and cheering for freedom, it feels really good.
Xiang Nan also laughed, and then he waved his hand and cast a summoning spell, "Infrared night vision telescope is coming~"
Infrared night vision telescopes are a cross-era product. As Colonel Gracie said, this piece of equipment is very suitable for use on the battlefield.
So he is worried that someone will use reverse technology to copy it. By then, the war may become more cruel. So he took the telescope back.
Anyway, now that the Titanic has docked, the lookout does not need the telescope.
A moment later, the telescope roared through the glass of the observation deck and came into Xiang Nan's hands.
He immediately put away the telescope and waved his hand, and the broken glass was repaired immediately.
…
At the same time, neither Carl nor Ruth were in a good mood.
Because the Titanic was about to dock, they also started to pack their luggage and prepared to stuff Ruth into the suitcase and bring her into the United States to prevent her from talking nonsense, yelling and embarrassing the Hockley family when entering customs. .
Since there was no X-ray inspection machine at the time, customs inspectors usually turned a blind eye to rich people like Carl Hockley and would not conduct detailed inspections of his luggage.
But when they opened Ruth's room, they found that she had disappeared. Obviously the doors in the room were locked, so it was impossible for her to escape. As a result, she searched several rooms but could not find any trace of her.
When Carl opened the safe to check if his belongings were missing, he saw the note left by Rose and her naked portrait.
Carl was immediately furious, knowing that Rose had run away, and she had better run with Xiang Nan.
Because he had heard Rose praise Xiang Nan's painting skills before, and he also knew that Rose had followed Xiang Nan to a party in the third class cabin.
More direct evidence is that Xiang Nan’s signature was left on this portrait, with the capital letters “JD” (Jack Dawson).
"Damn it, **** it, you bastard!" he couldn't help but cursed, and then tore the painting into pieces.
He didn't expect that Rose would actually run away and even cuckold him, which really **** him off!
He wished he could find Xiang Nan and Rose right now and tear them into pieces to satisfy his hatred.
When Ruth saw that her daughter had escaped, she could not help but be surprised, and then became frightened.
Because she relied solely on her daughter's marriage contract with Karl to barely maintain her current status as a noble lady.
Without this engagement paper, Karl would not have given her a penny at all. As a result, she simply cannot maintain the life of a noble.
Don't say that wearing gold and silver, having slaves and maids, and attending upper-class gatherings will not even allow you to eat.
Just thinking about it made her shudder.…
Xiang Nan and Rose then left the Statue of Liberty, rode the flying sword, and headed for New York.
At the beginning of the 20th century, New York was already very prosperous and lively.
The streets are busy with cars, horse-drawn carriages, trams, and bicycles passing back and forth. There are high-rise buildings on both sides, and buildings with dozens of floors can be seen everywhere.
“As expected of New York, it’s so lively~” Rose couldn’t help but sigh when she saw this.
Compared to the bustling, lively, fashionable and trendy New York, London is much inferior.
In fact, there are also high-rise buildings in London, but the buildings are old and have a sense of antiquity, staleness and vicissitudes of life.
It’s not as lively, energetic or fashionable as New York.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, then slowly brought Rose down, "We will stay in New York for a few days, visit the city, and prepare for the trip."
Traveling to the west is not just a matter of time. Horses need to be prepared, food needs to be prepared, tents need to be prepared... After all, he is not traveling alone. He wants to take Rose with him on the road, so he naturally needs to be more carefully prepared.
Rose nodded.
She had just arrived in New York and wanted to take a walk first.
Anyway, she is free now and has a lot of time.
…
Xiang Nan and Rose then checked into a hotel in New York.
Although he had no money on him, he could turn a newspaper into a stack of dollars with just a wave of his hand.
In fact, in the world of "Harry Potter", it is very easy for wizards to change money. Money can be made by just copying the spell.
But the reason why many wizards are still very poor, such as the Weasley family, Remus Lupin, Mundungus Fletcher... is because the money conjured by the copying spell cannot withstand the test of the banknote detector, and It couldn't be hidden from Gringotts' inspection.
Moreover, if you use fake money in large quantities, you will easily be targeted by the Ministry of Magic and sent to Azkaban for a few days. If you just copy a few dozen pounds, there is no need.
But Xiang Nan will have no problem converting money.
First, there is no money detector now, so even if the money is counterfeit, merchants cannot detect it. After all, Xiang Nan's transformation spell is very good, and the difference between the conjured money and real money is so small that it is impossible to tell the difference.
Second, there is no Ministry of Magic in this world, so even if he changes money and spends it, he is not afraid of being imprisoned in Azkaban to serve his sentence.
So Xiang Nan successfully moved into the Wolcott Hotel in New York with the money he had conjured up.
This is a hotel located on Manhattan Island. It was only built in 1904. It can be said to be very high-end and luxurious.
Although Xiang Nan is not obsessed with enjoyment, if he can live a more comfortable life, he will not deliberately seek abuse for himself.
…
The biggest news in New York City that night and the next morning was the news that the Titanic, the world's largest cruise ship, had successfully arrived in New York Harbor.
It has been on the front pages of many newspapers, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Times, etc., all reporting on how luxurious, sophisticated, and upscale this ship is.
“Strange, why didn’t the newspapers write about you?” Rose looked through several newspapers, but there was no news about Xiang Nan.
Obviously Xiang Nan had the greatest credit for the Titanic's successful arrival in the United States, but there was not a single word mentioned above.
"Isn't this a good thing? The tree is big and attracts the wind, so I won't get into trouble." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You see, you are not mentioned in these newspapers. This is a good thing."
