"Statues?!" Marcus seemed surprised, as if he had just noticed the statues because of Evan's reminder.

He looked at the monster statue in the garden in confusion and fell into deep thought.

Evan frowned and observed the expression on his face, with a strange feeling.

Marcus seemed to have just noticed the statue, and it was strange that the ghost didn't see the green magic that rose to the sky, but only noticed the obvious things when Evan reminded him.

This feeling......

It was as if something, some kind of magic, was blocking Marcus's vision, blinding him to something in front of him and what was happening, and he saw something different from what Evan had seen, and when Evan reminded him, the magic was lifted, and he saw what Evan was talking about.

Considering that Marcus's existence itself is also a type of magic, this is very likely, and what he saw was the vision left by the caster at that time. Either Marcus was pretending not to see them so that Evan wouldn't notice them, but it was like this just now, and now it's like this, whether it's the Black Witch's spell marks or the statues in the garden below, it's obvious things, and if Marcus wants Evan not to see them, it's too much to say about ignoring the past.

"Those statues ......," the pride in Marcus's tone was gone, and he said dryly, "those statues have always been there." ”

"But you didn't seem to see them just now?"

"I didn't pay attention, master. "I didn't expect you to be interested in them, these scary statues have been there for so long that it's easy for others to ignore them." Actually, I can't remember exactly when they were there, but it must have been the guy who liked to fiddle with weird things and surprise people when they weren't looking. The old master has always been very tolerant of his strange behavior, and he must have ...... the statue."

"Wait, Marcus, who are you talking about?" Evan asked.

"That person ......" the expression on Marcus's face became dull again, and he seemed to fall into a long memory again, and said after a long time, "It's Master Dalion, master, please forgive me for not remembering his name for a while, Master Dalion is the youngest son of the old master, a strange fellow who has no sense of existence. As you can see, he always does some nasty pranks, as if he thinks it's funny, but in fact it gives everyone a headache. No one in the castle liked him, and Master Dalyan was not as talented as his siblings and did not inherit the gifts of the Ravenclaw family. In fact, he has nothing, he is a squib. ”

"A Squib?" said Aven, remembering Filch, the Hogwarts janitor, who was a Squib.

Squibs are Muggles who were born into wizarding families but cannot use magic, that is, Muggles who are wizards.

Generally speaking, Squibs and Wizards are looked down upon by some wizards as second-class citizens of the wizarding world.

This discrimination is especially evident in pure-blood wizard families who believe in pure-blood, many pure-blood wizards will consider it a shame to have a Squib in their family, and they will remove the Squib members from the family tree, such as the Malfoy family or the Black family.

Even wizarding families like the Weasleys, who were Muggle-friendly and didn't believe in pure-blood, would have a hard time accepting Squibs in their own family. As far as Evan knew, Ron had an uncle who was a Muggle accountant, but his existence was almost a taboo subject for the Weasleys and was rarely talked about.

In the era a thousand years ago, the status and situation of the Squib were much worse than they are now.

They are the unspoken beings of the wizarding family, the forgotten.

A very small number of pure-blood wizard families who value bloodline above everything else will even directly kill the squibs within the family so as not to be known by others.

"That's right, Young Master Darian is a squib, and since he was a child, he hasn't shown any spell-casting ability. Marcus paused for a moment before continuing, "He's a disgrace to the Ravenclaws, and people rarely talk about him, usually pretending he doesn't exist. The old master was too merciful to expel him from the family. But it's really strange, it must have been too long, and the memories of Master Dalyan in my head are always intermittent, as if I have forgotten a lot of things, but that's nothing, isn't it? You can completely ignore him, master, Master Dalyan hasn't done anything other than to do some strange things to destroy the castle. ”

How could it be ignored, this Dalyan is too suspicious.

Was it really just a coincidence that he was able to carve these statues that looked like the creations of evil gods?

And Marcus, is it also a coincidence that the strange reaction of this old ghost and the fact that he forgot a lot about Dalion?!

"Did Dalian carve these statues himself?" Evan asked softly.

"I guess so. ”

"And he came up with the images of these monsters himself?"

"Yes, he must have carved these horrible things out of his mind to scare everyone. "There are no such monsters in the world, these are his own imaginations, even if he follows the others to say that these monsters are wandering around the castle......"

"Wait, Dalyan said those monsters are roaming around the castle below?"

"It's a prank, master, no one has ever seen these monsters except him, they don't exist at all. "It's not surprising that he could say that, for Master Dalyan was always doing such dastardly pranks as if he were drawing patterns on the walls of the castle that no one could understand, or a person whispering there, pretending to be someone around him, and so on. He probably wanted to get the attention of the others in this way, but it only made everyone hate him more. ”

"Alright!" Evan asked after a moment's thought, "what happened to this Dalyan?"

"When death strikes, everyone in this land dies, and I think he is no exception. Marcus replied, "But he wasn't qualified to go to Death's Door to witness the opening ceremony, so he should have remained in the castle, but I didn't see him, and his soul may have dissipated, after all, he was just a squib with no magical powers......"
