HP's Foreign Land

Judge Rabat Fasi, the head of the Supervision and Investigation Office, came to the round hall at the southernmost tip of the International Wizengamot with a roll of parchment. The 16 trainee judges who came here received the call And the judge has been waiting here for nearly two 10 minutes.

"I'm sure you all know about an event that will start at three o'clock this afternoon. It will be held every six years." Fassi unfolded the parchment. "But this time the reason is special, and it has been delayed for several months. Before you entered this room, you may have gotten some information from your colleagues and superiors. What I want to tell you is, yes, within the next three days, You will become the face of the international Wizengamot, and the virtues of equality, tolerance, rationality, justice, etc. will be displayed most intuitively through you. Your task is to serve those masters well and ensure that they can enjoy it outside of working hours. A touch of ironic pleasure."

Fassi paused at this point, "If the next appointment doesn't meet his or her expectations, they will look back on the past and find at least one thing that wasn't too bad."

Heimdall and the other 15 colleagues quickly figured out what kind of role they were playing from these words. On the surface, they were "accompany" guides who accompany them to eat, drink and talk, but they were actually IW's eyeliner.The specific functions are yet to be developed, and it is still a question mark whether they will come in handy.The above is the interpretation of Director Strulusson, and it does not mean that other people think the same way.

Because most of the "escorts" who are in the same room with him are so eager to try, the light in their eyes seems to want to rush to other people's country to pack and carry the luggage for the gentlemen who are about to leave.But Heimdall's mind is full of the Lord who "belongs" to him. Hollingworth had given a hint before, saying that he should try to assign him an approachable Lord.

Fortunately, the gentlemen all know that the number of escorts is limited. If there is a need for this, it must be booked in advance, that is, only 16 random gifts will be distributed, first come first served.Otherwise, there are only 16 of them, and the 197 justices cannot be dispatched with a ruler-if there are 197 justices.

197 is the number of people who should be there, and the actual number remains to be seen. Today, not all countries are willing to buy IW's account.That part of the people called this: decide their own affairs.They built their own fortresses, supported their own kings, and formed their own models. In short, everything is their own. Standing on the commanding heights that they think is safe, they watch international affairs with a cold eye, and they have a certain degree of unity that has been practiced for thousands of years. Hua is skeptical and dismissive of the nominally supreme leader.In the words of the Greek Minister of Magic: lack of international spirit.

Heimdall opened the notebook, and there was a person's name on it. At the same time, Fasi began to call out the names of the people present, and read out their respective "serving" objects one by one.

When it was Heimdall's turn, Fassi said, "Judge Stuluson, please come to the Tianma Temporary Station on the rooftop at 4:[-] o'clock sharp. Your reception object is Judge Elio Arrow."

What? !Heimdall looked up in surprise.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Sturluson?" Fasi said calmly.

All the trainee judges and judges watched over, and Heimdall asked nonchalantly, "Has Judge Arrow brought an assistant?"

The justices rarely choose to go alone when they go out on official business. In order to reflect their high personal value, they always bring an accompanying team of at least one person or as many as four or five people. , Faxi spread his hands, "Maybe I brought it, maybe I didn't bring it, if you bring it, it will save you trouble."

Heimdall nodded, and the sudden twists and turns were just covered up.

Elio Herrault?

Heimdall turned the page that read "Justice Vera Maretskaya" and wrote Elio Herro's name on the next page.It can be seen that the boss's career is not always unfavorable. The Supreme Justice of Russia's Wizengamot and Mr. Stulusson passed by.

Heimdall waited six hours at the International Wizengamot before the pointer approached 4 without haste.He thought that the boss would send him a temporary job, which not only passed the time but also highlighted the efficiency, but in the six hours he saw the boss only a handful of times, once before entering the rotunda; once in the men's room.Like a bottle of salt lent to a neighbor, the neighbor can only stay in the neighbor's kitchen until he has finished a large table of delicious food.

On the terrace on the top of the building, there was a hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and the noise was no less lively than the unfinished Balkan Carnival.

Judges generally prefer to ride in a buggy - Hollingworth's leeks, perhaps, in style.

The conscientious colleagues picked up their masters one by one, and the terrace, which was still crowded just now, suddenly became quiet.In the afternoon of late winter and early spring, the entire terrace seemed to be wrapped in amber honey. The orange sunlight was soothing and lazy. Heimdall raised his head slightly, allowing the amber to fill his face. He squinted his eyes comfortably, In a blink of an eye, I saw a lady with extraordinary temperament stepping down from the carriage that had just stopped not far away.

The purple judge's robe was covered with a colorful short-haired cloak, and she was holding a black tweed wide-brimmed hat in her hand. Her short gray hair was carefully groomed, stylish and stern. After standing still, she gracefully turned her head to face her "Escort" Adeleia Firing.

From Heimdall's position, he couldn't see Miss Ferring's face with his back turned to him, so he could only imagine her expression at this moment.

Madam Judge quickly looked at Film, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.The striking female judge was Vera Maretskaya, whom Hollingworth had hinted at to Heimdall.Judge Maretskaya's fleeting look of astonishment showed that she had received similar hints before, so she was puzzled that it was Miss Ferring who appeared.

But smart people never stick to plausibility, and changes are everywhere.Under Miss Firing's attentive guidance, Justice Maretskaya and her assistant walked quickly to the elevator.

The last batch of colleagues and their reception objects left one after another, leaving Heimdall alone on the rooftop.

4点还差10分钟的时候，一匹天马在头顶呼啸而过；4点还差5分钟的时候，马车在天台的跑道上飞掠；4点整，马车停在了9号马棚。

Heimdall hastily moved from the expected No. 7 to No. 9.

When the car door was pushed open, he arrived just in time, and Justice Arrow stepped out of the carriage with his head bowed. Heimdall leaned forward and said, "Welcome, Judge Arrow."

Even in the face of an unfamiliar smiling face, the justice can calmly nod his head gently.It's not overly friendly, but it doesn't make people feel unreasonable.Justice Arrow's clothes are very grand, of which material is unknown, the color and style seem to be ordinary, but every fold, every button, the height of collar, cuffs, and hem are all just right.A simple movement is different and stands out from the crowd, even though he is about the same size as Heimdall.

"Heimdall Strulusson." He didn't say a question.

Heimdall didn't show surprise on his face, and nodded with a chuckle, "It's an honor." At the same time, he was relieved.

He didn't know why the higher-ups arranged him for the justice of the Wizengamot in France. Assuming that the gentleman could not speak a language other than his mother tongue, he would not know who would interpret for whom.Now that he is sure that he doesn't need to worry about language at all, Director Sturlusson's heart that hangs in mid-air drops more than half.

He could have actually raised his concerns on the spot six hours earlier, but he chose carefully to wait and see.One is that he believes that IW will not give him problems for no reason, make him look ugly, and create trouble for himself, which is even more unimaginable, because it is not beneficial to IW; Although he just mentioned his name, it seemed that he didn't intend to involve too much, as if it was just a small detail of the first meeting, but it convinced Heimdall's previous guess.He decided to pretend he didn't know anything, and waited for the Lord's next words.

There are 197 members of the International Federation of Wizards and 197 justices. The actual number of judges present this time is 172, which is more than ten more than the 160 expected above.Fassi joked: "People's memory gets better as spring approaches, and the next work report should be scheduled in midsummer, so that people won't always make a fuss about hibernation."

The large conference room at the northernmost end of the basement floor opens its arms to the participants.The beautiful wood-clad great room is brightly lit, with wood grains in creamy white, reddish brown and dark gray tones gleaming under the lights.Those spirals, lines, spots, and patterns that no one cares about in normal times are dazzling at this time, with a wonderful and charming attraction, surrounding the justices from all over the world in a space created by their charm.They represent the decency of the international Wizengamot.

The justices and their assistants walked into the venue with smiles and greeted each other in a friendly manner. Their attitudes were sincere and their words were tactful, like relatives and friends who had not seen each other for a long time, releasing their heartfelt kindness.Even though many of them have never spoken a word, or met for the first time.

Men and women of different nationalities and skin colors gathered together, and the majesty they showed casually came from their affirmation of their own value and confidence in their personal abilities. A few movements and just two eyes can easily distinguish them from theirs. Assistants are separated.The judges sat down one by one, chatting with those around them, laughing and talking, raising their hands and gestures to explain what "power" means, silently conveying their own weight and status, and the roles they play domestically and internationally.

If there is a man or woman, his or her signature can rewrite the fate of a wizard in the world, hold high the sword of justice to decide life and death, and then affect the wizard's family—a person, or a group of people— In the future life, his or her action of picking up the quill will become very important, even a wrinkle on the sleeve when the wrist is raised is full of majesty.

Justice Arrow did not bring an assistant, and Heimdall had another job as a small clerk besides the "escort".He is no stranger to this job. Although he is not familiar with it, he is basically competent-no one wants to admit that he is comfortable with the job of a small clerk.

Heimdall was very grateful that his eyes hardly left Master Arrow, and that even though he could not understand French, did not understand what he was saying to others, and knew nothing about his likes and dislikes, one thing he could do through tireless observation caught.

Justice Arrow walked sideways when he stepped out of the elevator. There were not many people at that time, the inside and outside of the elevator were not crowded, and there was no sign of the elevator doors closing; True acquaintances still pretend to be acquainted, and the distance has not changed; his shoes are spotless, the leather is shiny, and even the line where the sole meets the leather is brand new.

So, when Justice Arrow walked to the seat with his name on it, Heimdall quickly took out his handkerchief, went to the chair and brushed off the dust on the seat including the armrests. Merlin Above, everything here is as shiny as Justice Arrow's shoes.

Arrow sat down without saying a word, neither praising him for his meticulousness nor reproaching him for his extravagance.Heimdall became more and more sure that he had done the right thing, and the Lord had obviously turned a blind eye.

Thinking of this, Heimdall wiped the oily tabletop a few more times. When he closed his hand, Aero grabbed the end of the handkerchief, as if to blame him for not wiping it carefully enough.Heimdall didn't think it was inaccurate, so he let go, and the handkerchief naturally fell into Aero's hands, and then Heimdall stepped aside and sat down quietly.

If you feel unclean, you can wipe it yourself.

On the podium, the justice of Egypt's Wizengamot is eloquently listing the "world-renowned" achievements of the Egyptian wizarding judiciary in the past year. This is one of the traditional items of the justice's debriefing week.Always give a chance for self-recognition before revealing your heart to the IW supreme leader tremblingly in private.This opportunity is available to everyone without exception, except those kings who were not present and were busy affirming themselves.

The audience in the audience tried their best to maintain a dignified and decent sitting posture, and tried their best to avoid drowsiness.Compared with the tit-for-tat conference in the next two days, today's self-recognition conference is really boring. I am afraid that the speaker himself is the only one who is energetic every time. What is gratifying is that it has a time limit.

The justice from Egypt walked off the podium amid loud but insincere applause. Before the next one came on stage, Aero, who had not spoken more than five sentences with Heimdall, suddenly turned to look at him. Aero did not hide his actions. , so Heimdall noticed it immediately.

"Mr. Arrow?" Heimdall asked softly.

"Would you like to hear it?" Arrow said.

"It doesn't matter if I like it or not."

"I want to doze off," Arrow said. "When will it be my turn?"

"There are 21 more judges ahead of you."

"Since you don't like to hear it either, let's talk about something else." Arrow directly positioned Heimdall.

Heimdall seemed to be listening and respectful, knowing in his heart that what he had been waiting for had finally come.

"You've met our Ministry of Magic investigator."

"I have seen."

"You think the case against Carel Di Rupo is suspect."

"I'm just implying that your Ministry investigators shouldn't jump to conclusions."

"Don't beat around the bush," Arrow said. "I didn't take you from Maretskaya to let you go around me. If the woman knew what I did, she would be furious. She hates others meddling in her affairs. I didn't do it for ask for trouble."

"Has my personal opinion affected the judgment of the French Ministry of Magic?" Heimdall smiled shortly. "Sorry, I'm panicking."

Arrow raised his eyebrows and stared at him for a moment, then said calmly: "Your tone makes me very unhappy, but I forgive you."

The smile on Heimdall's face became more obvious.

Ai Luo seemed to turn a blind eye, "To be honest, I don't care how Di Rupo died. There are many ways to handle this matter. The most troublesome thing is to treat a suicide that can be completely closed as a homicide. This is to find for yourself. Trouble. So far, I have not seen that even if it is a homicide, his death will have any adverse effects on the French wizarding world. It may be just a very ordinary personal grievance, money disputes, emotional entanglements, uncontrollable emotions and desires, which lead to tragedy. That's all."

"Then where do you put 'justice'? Skynet is restored. As a judge, shouldn't he speak out for justice, set things right, and bring the murderer to justice?" condemn.

Errow laughed silently, even though he didn't hear the laughter, the invisible message rang through his ears like thunder. Heimdall straightened his back involuntarily, but turned his eyes away in embarrassment.

"It seems right to have you here," Arrow said. "You are convincing me little by little in your way, maybe you don't know it yourself."

"This is what you should do. Unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are a disgrace to the judiciary." Heimdall muttered.

"Our No. 4 has a good impression of you." Aeroti said.

Heimdall shrugged, "I also have a good impression of him. He is the only person I have come into contact with who seems sober and does not want to get away with it. Although I have only met three investigators so far, the first two are obviously coming and going. procedural."

"Our minister doesn't want to cause trouble." Arrow said flatly.

This "blind" minister seems to be a realist who "walks away from tea". Although it is a bit chilling, considering his status, such an approach is not a serious crime.

Heimdall said seemingly casually, "Your Minister Chamon has the final say on the trial of the case? I thought you were the chief justice."

Ai Luo smiled half-smile, "I'm not old, but I have a lot of eyes."

Heimdall chuckled a few times, and it wasn't embarrassing for people to easily hear the meaning behind his words to sow dissension.It would be an insult to Arrow's intelligence if he categorically denies or conceals it.

When the master of ceremonies in charge of presiding over the meeting called Arrow's name, Justice Arrow stood up amid the applause that had already made the hearing numb, and under the respectful gazes of the crowd, whether sincere or not, he calmly walked towards the podium. go.

"Let's have dinner," he said to Heimdall before leaving.

It was an affirmative sentence again, not an inquiry, but a kind of notification, even if the other party did not agree, he would not listen, because he had already wandered away before getting the answer.

Returning home is like an arrow, and Director Strulusson has no other choice except this restaurant.Lord Arrow was adamant about not eating in the mess hall, as if drinking a cup of tea there was unbearable, so Heimdall had to take him to a restaurant he knew well.Of course, the boss who is eager to return home is very happy.

By the way, there is a coffee bar in the emergency center.After ordering, Director Sturlusson suddenly remembered that place.

There are many other wizards around who also come from the International Federation of Wizards building. It is not Heimdall's patent to return home, and the quality of the food here is well-known.Heimdall heard two wizards who seemed to come from the same place talking in English about the meeting place.They find it tedious to always be in Bruges.This kind of tone is very different from the serious purpose of the job report. I regard the visit to the boss as a trip abroad, and it is free.

It's still a bit cold now, it would be nice if it gets hotter.In June and July, the venue is set in Paris.July?Paris?Do you know how crowded Paris is in July?This proposal is not good.Or Eastern Europe?No, it's too boring there.Better choose a cooler place.How is Reykjavik?Iceland?Yes, certainly more sober thinking about things like crime rates.Then the two laughed out loud.

Heimdall pouted and turned off the "receiver".

It is certain that these two wizards are not judges, but assistants at most.Only assistants would take the six-yearly debriefing when it comes to job changes as child's play.

"I hope you can handle it. I don't have the habit of bringing assistants. I'm sorry if it troubles you." Leaving the building of the International Federation of Wizards, Justice Arrow transformed himself into a humble upbringing that had been missing for a long time. A modest gentleman.

"What I don't have is what I should do." Heimdall's smile didn't have the slightest reluctance. "To be honest, I was a bit uneasy at first because I don't speak French, so I'm definitely not up to the task of translating, which is a skill you don't need from me."

"The last time I came to the meeting, they arranged a little girl for me. Before the debriefing was over, I hinted to the IW meeting organizer that if I still have the opportunity to come here six years later, please stop making such an arrangement." Arrow smiled, looked at Heimdall and said. "I'm glad they are willing to accommodate my request."

"Is the little girl not good? I heard that many masters like little girls." Heimdall smiled.

"I'm not those lords." Arrow said calmly.

Is he implying something?Just as Heimdall was puzzled, Arrow said again, "I told them that I prefer little boys to little girls. It seems that they understand what I mean."

Heimdall's expression froze for a moment, "...my age seems to be too old."

"No, no, it's just right for me," Arrow took a sip from his mulled wine glass. "Little boys are cute, but they are either incomprehensible or too lively. It's okay to make fun of them. I'm not here to serve my grandson. Mr. Stulusson like you, please forgive me, and please don't Mind, super!"

Heimdall suddenly remembered that he had just taken away his own handkerchief, and had given it there by himself.Fortunately, I still guessed that the justice was meticulous and rigid.It's all an illusion, and I foolishly believe it to be true.

Arrow raised his glass to him, "I sincerely look forward to your company in the next few days. It must be very pleasant."

Until he broke up with Heimdall, he didn't have any intention of returning the handkerchief. Chief Strulusson struggled for a long time. In order not to appear petty, he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't remember.

In the evening, Heimdall brushed his teeth in front of the mirror, and happily told Victor what happened today while brushing, spraying foam everywhere when he got excited.

The master listened very attentively, and was overjoyed at his little appearance.

"You don't see the judges in those African countries, and their assistants. Their wizard's robes are completely different from here in Europe. The judge's robes are of course the same. Their civilian clothes are very ethnic, colorful and exaggerated. Their They are not short and have outstanding facial features. I doubt that those judges need to pass the beauty pageant before taking office. Those clothes... are so beautiful. There is a female judge from Zimbabwe who looks very heroic after changing into a wizard robe. Later, I couldn’t help it Go talk to her."

"What did she say?" asked the master.

"She is very enthusiastic, but she doesn't have wizard robes suitable for men, and the assistants she brings are also women, but she told me to send me a set when I go back." Speaking of this, Director Sturluson seemed to be brushing his teeth. with the wind.

"Why don't you talk about your master judge?" Victor had sensed something was wrong a long time ago. This kid usually doesn't deliberately avoid people and things around him, but if he avoids it, there must be something wrong.

Heimdall rinsed off the foam in his mouth, rinsed his toothbrush, walked to the bathtub and sat down under the master's gaze.

The master sat in the water and looked at his face.

Heimdall pursed his lips, "Today we were molested by a white-haired old man who is enough to be my grandfather, and the handkerchief was taken away."

Without waiting for the master to say anything, Director Strulusson said, "I have been molested by two people face to face in my life, and they are both French wizards, so I must be at odds with France..." Then Lao Wenyi added, " But even with mouse feces, it can't cover up Duncan's father's beautiful face, which is probably what people say about the inseparability of moonlight and shadows. If there is a bright moonlight, there will be plum rain mushrooms."

The master laughed, "Mushroom?"

"Mushrooms usually grow in places where there is no light." Heimdall has a "science popularization" spirit.

What does this have to do with moonlight?The master wisely didn't correct me, and put on a look that I understood very well.

Director Stulusong was elated, and was happily dragged into the bathtub by the master to rub it to heat up, and he went to take a bath with a mandarin duck.

The author has something to say: the honey mask mentioned in the last chapter, I usually use a brush to brush on the face after the honey mask is prepared, and I don’t use the mask paper. A long-term consumption.Get a lotion foundation brush, pay attention to cleaning and disinfection, it can be used for a long time.It is almost a one-time consumption for a period of time.

Today I will tell you the story of a pair of good friends, liver and kidney.

The liver and the gallbladder are also closely linked. There is an idiom called "the liver and the gallbladder look at each other". It can be seen that these two are quite interesting.If you feel bitter in your mouth after getting up in the morning in spring, it means that you feel bitter in your mouth before brushing your teeth and eating. This is a warning of strong liver fire, because bile is bitter. Vegetables and fruits.Today we are mainly talking about liver and kidney.

The liver and kidney are very closely related. Generally speaking, the kidneys of people with poor liver will be affected, and vice versa. People with insufficient kidney qi must have strong anger.Their basic feelings are reflected here.As long as the liver and kidney achieve a balance of yin and yang, it is healthy.

Therefore, taking care of the liver and kidney can be done on both sides, that is, if you calm the anger of the liver, the kidney will not be weak; if you replenish the kidney qi to the kidney, the anger of the liver will be relieved. .The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Pingganhuo has a very useful thing - purslane, you can eat some properly, and the effect of reducing anger is very good.

Nine out of ten of us modern people have insufficient kidney qi. In fact, it is related to our living habits, including sleeping, eating, working, etc., which will lead to insufficient kidney qi, that is, kidney deficiency.Many people think that tonifying the kidney is a job for men, and women do not need to tonify the kidney. In fact, it is not the case, women also need to tonify the kidney.

If a woman’s kidney qi is deficient, the most direct reaction will be aging face, white hair, and the back is not straight, and the person looks particularly lethargic. If such a situation occurs, it is likely to be caused by insufficient kidney qi.

The kidney is an organ that can only replenish but not vent.Recommend a dietary method, which is beneficial to nourishing the kidney, and it is warming and tonic.

Just eat glutinous rice flour.Glutinous rice flour is very common in the south. The food made from glutinous rice flour is soft and glutinous, and it can be eaten by the elderly with bad teeth.Eating too much glutinous rice is not easy to digest, especially for older people, but glutinous rice flour does not have this concern.

People who often eat glutinous rice flour are often nourishing the kidneys. There is a grandmother next door to our house who has become a habit of eating glutinous rice flour every day. She is 68 years old, with black hair, a straight waist, and a windy walk. She looks very energetic.

It can be seen from this that glutinous rice flour is a good thing, and it is recommended to eat it frequently. I will eat a bowl of glutinous rice flour almost every morning, unless I oversleep.Especially in winter, after eating a bowl of glutinous rice flour before going out, it not only warms the stomach and the whole body, but also replenishes energy and feels great.

You can also try it. I can tell friends who haven’t eaten it that it’s not bad at all. After making it, there is a fragrance of glutinous rice. If you like sweet food, add some sugar when making it. If you don’t like sweet food, eat light food. , It’s also very good to eat as porridge, get some pickles or something to drink together.I am sweet pie.

The method is quite simple, if you make one bowl, put one bowl of water in the pot, put two bowls of water in two bowls, and so on.Put glutinous rice flour under cold water. The amount of glutinous rice flour depends on yourself, and I can’t say for sure. If you like thick soup, put more, and if you like thin soup, put less.But remember to soak the glutinous rice flour in cold water and stir well.I don’t know if you have come into contact with the milk powder that needs to be adjusted with cold water. This is the milk powder I ate when I was a child. It needs to be boiled with cold water first, and then hot water is poured, otherwise it will agglomerate.The same is true for glutinous rice flour, don't boil it before adding the flour, just put it in cold water, stir well and turn on the fire.

The fire should not be too high, it looks like a medium and small fire, and then stir with a spoon. The trouble in making this thing is here. It needs to be stirred frequently, but don't keep stirring, the water will not boil if you keep stirring.Stir twice frequently, so people can't walk away from the fire, and keep an eye on it, otherwise it will sink to the bottom of the pot and it will be easy to burn.Put the sugar down after the water boils, skip this step if you don’t like sweets.If you feel that the fire is too high, you can adjust it properly until it becomes a paste, then turn off the heat and pour it into a bowl.Let's eat now.

By the way, friends who can make Korean spicy cabbage must be familiar with making glutinous rice paste.

If you insist on eating a bowl of glutinous rice paste like this every day, I believe that your gray hair will be much later than those who don't eat it. Of course, there is no obvious effect now. The key is to persevere.If the kidney qi is insufficient, it should improve after a period of time, and people will feel more energetic.

There is still a lot of space for making glutinous rice paste. For example, add some sesame powder to make sesame glutinous rice paste, add some walnut powder to make walnut sesame glutinous rice paste, and add arrowroot powder to make arrowroot glutinous rice paste. Gorgon powder is Gorgon glutinous rice flour.I often switch between different kinds of desserts. You can’t buy such a sincere bowl of Manji Dessert at the price.Eating a bowl every day replenishes nutrition and kidneys.

Served as a family if you can, this sweet treat is great for all ages.
