The Vasa needed to travel underwater for two days to reach Sweden.
On sunny days when there were no Muggle ships around, the Vasa also surfaced, allowing passengers to sunbathe on the deck.
At night, the Vasa continued its journey on the seabed, encountering all sorts of amazing sea creatures.
During the two days, Xenophilius did not forget to gather material, wandering around the Vasa looking for some strange and interesting stories to see if they could be published in The Quibbler.
Besides teaching Luna some basic magic, Vizette spent his free time exploring the Vasa.
After Luna and Xenophilius fell asleep, he went to the study and studied "The Wizarding Guide to Combat" and ancient magic.
As he prepared for his upcoming trip to Sweden, Vizette always had a vague feeling that something was waiting for him.
To avoid anything bad happening, he still felt it best to be cautious.
To do this, he consumed his stored ancient magical power and opened two more pages, obtaining two auxiliary spells:
"Elementary Composting Techniques": Mastering ancient magical power... Enhancing the effects of magical fertilizer with ancient magical power...
"Elementary Plant Cultivation Techniques": Master ancient magical powers... communicate with magical plants using ancient magical powers... slightly increase affinity with magical plants...
The appearance of the two pages would help him cultivate the Devil's Snare in the future, but it would not play a significant role in improving his strength in the short term.
Vizette had anticipated the uncertainties of "The Wizarding Guide to Combat," so he was able to accept obtaining these two spells.
These two pages held great promise for the future, and they should be helpful whether they were used to improve the Devil's Snare or to deepen the study of herbalism.
Moreover, there was a garden at home, which could come in handy no matter what.
After incorporating this aspect into his long-term plan, Vizette shifted his focus to the existing ancient magic.
The main goal was to continue practicing "Ancient Magic: Instant Shield" to make it easier to cast and avoid any unexpected situations in the future.
It was better to be safe than sorry; prevention was always better than cure.
Vizette was not always so energetic; he would sometimes doze off in his study.
...
"Vizette, time to get up... time to get up..."
A soft, ethereal voice rang out, like calling someone to wake up, but more like a lullaby, making one want to drift into a sweeter dream with that sound.
"Yuga... Dimlevi... O... Sa!"
In a daze, Vizette felt an itch in his nose.
Hearing someone call him, he mumbled an answer, "Um... I'll get up now."
"Have breakfast, and we'll be almost there in Sweden!"
Another sound appeared, accompanied by a "whoosh" sound. Vizette felt a flash of light on his eyelids, followed by darkness, as if someone was blocking his way.
He sniffed and smelled the familiar scent of grass and trees.
He quickly opened his eyes, and a lovely, youthful face came into view.
Luna looked at him with a bright smile, shielding him from the brilliant sunlight behind her.
Sunlight fell on Luna's fluffy long hair, making it look like a fuzzy halo behind a god.
"Time to get up!" she said softly again, her voice lazy and almost like a murmur.
Vizette blinked, sensing that there was something else in front of him.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed a leaf, which immediately floated up and flew back into Luna's hand.
Luna asked, somewhat boastfully, "Teacher Vizette, wasn't my Levitation Charm pretty good?"
It was obvious that the leaf that had been scratching his nose just now was the one that had been levitated.
"Exceptionally good." Vizette rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm just hesitant about whether to continue teaching you the Fire-Starting Charm."
"If I learn the Fire-Starting Charm, I'll use it to bake bread and keep warm," Luna said with a smile. "Only the Levitation Charm is for awakening purposes!"
Vizette smiled too, "Using the first spell I learned to start a new day is a great idea!"
"Vizette, get up quickly!" Xenophilius urged from afar. "I'm going to the restaurant first, you guys come over quickly too! Remember to put everything back in your suitcases."
...
The sky above the magical port of Sweden was also bright and sunny, yet a hint of coldness and solemnity could be felt.
As Vizette and his companions disembarked from the Vasa, they looked to the other side and spotted a massive doorway.
Inside the doorway was a continuous stream of water, like a rushing waterfall.
Wizards who intended to leave this place by boat had to pass through this doorway.
Only after they were soaked to the bone could they finally board a boat and leave.
Even beside the ship stood two tall, clumsy giants.
They were carrying wooden sticks and wearing ill-fitting uniforms, like security guards.
Vizette also noticed that the people responsible for maintaining and controlling the waterfall's gate frame were not wizards, but two short, grotesque gnomes.
A tall wizard stood around the door frame, holding a wand and looking serious, as if he were ready for battle.
Led by the guide, they left the magic dock, walked through a winding street, and entered a bar.
The bar not only had a fireplace with burning flames, but also a bubble floating in mid-air.
The guide explained to the travelers, "Compared to the English Floo Network, Sweden has its own unique way of traveling—bubble chains!"
"You can think of it as another kind of Floo Network. Put Floo Powder in your hand, stick it into the bubble, and say the location to quickly reach your destination!"
When it came to tourism, people naturally hoped to see some different experiences.
The bubble chain in front of them was a perfect example of what travelers expected.
They gradually shed the solemn atmosphere of the dock, and with great interest, pinched a handful of Floo Powder, which was then sucked into a bubble and carried them to their hotel.
Xenophilius deliberately stayed behind last, waiting until the other travelers had left before standing up and approaching the guide to ask, "What exactly happened? Why did they need to check like that?"
"That kind of inspection?" The guide frowned, as if he had thought of something, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "It was just a small incident, so we used the Thief's Downfall, the gnomes' stuff."
"Thief's Downfall?" Xenophilius frowned. "As far as I know, that thing can wash away all spells and magical disguises… You're saying this is a small matter?"
"I don't know the specifics either." The guide shrugged, took a newspaper out of his pocket, and handed it to Xenophilius.
"They only reported the Obscurial attack on the Ministry of Magic and then launched an investigation. They didn't mention anything about taking precautions against travelers..."
"Obscurials?" Xenophilius's shoulders twitched. "Will they investigate our identities? We have proper wizard passports!"
"Of course not..." The guide hesitated for a moment, then smiled apologetically before continuing, "They might check my identity again on the return trip."
"However, the Swedish Ministry of Magic is very efficient. Perhaps by the time we return, the Obscurial will have already been caught?"
