Chapter Seventy-Seven: Squib Kangra
Not long after flying in the air, Canaan and Lucy came to the other side of the lake. On the other side of the lake, there were a lot of stones piled up, and there were a lot of glowing mosses attached to them, and it is estimated that the light source that Canaan had seen in the air before was emitted by this moss.
"Well, Bai is happy. Canaan sighed.
However, these patches of glowing moss are truly spectacular, with a little starlight, as if you are in a dream. He took out his camera and filmed this beautiful scene, which was also a reward.
"Master, there seems to be a man there," Lucy said, pointing to a rock in front of her.
Canaan followed his gaze and saw a figure huddled under the crack in the rock, trembling slightly. His hands were tightly tucked under the coat on his chest, as if he felt very cold.
"Is this the dwarf at the alchemy party?", Canaan stepped forward and took a closer look at the man's face, with a pointed nose and ears, and deep goblin features on his facial features.
"His name seems to be Kangra. Canaan touched his chin and muttered with a frown, "But why is he here?"
Canaan remembers that after the party, he saw Congra feeding stray cats on the side of the road in Paris. Could it be that he stayed in a hotel in Boulogne that night, and then was captured by the Death Eaters?
However, there was no him in the group of alchemists brought by Ruolinster before, how could he appear in the Ancient Secret Realm, and he was still so embarrassed.
At this point, Kangra seemed to be unable to bear the cold any longer, and he shivered and crawled out from under the rocks, picked up some rocks and piled them up on the rocks, trying to build himself an improvised shelter from the wind.
Only then did Canaan realize that he had many wounds on his legs and chest, and that his tattered clothes seemed to be wet.
After building the rocks to shelter from the wind, Kangra burrowed into the slightly more comfortable crevices, and suddenly he bowed his head and said, "Little one, do you think we can go back alive?"
Who is he talking to?
Puzzled, Canaan noticed a small green figure emerging from Kangra's cuff, all emerald green, like a bud of a branch.
It's a tree guard! It's always warm in the cuff.
Kangra looked at the Tree Protector and muttered to himself, "But what's the point of going back? I'm a squib, a squib without magic." And an ugly goblin hybrid. As he spoke, he touched his nose.
"I wanted to prove myself, but they always laughed at me. ”
The Tree Guard seemed to sense Kangra's bad mood, and it crawled lightly onto Kangra's neck, and the green branches and leaves hugged Kangra like arms, as if to comfort him.
"Thank you, little one, but it's still too cold outside, so don't freeze you. Sensing the thoughtful movements of the Tree Guard, Kangra's face smiled, and then he carefully put the little one into the cuff again.
With his head resting on the solid rock, Kangra listened to the sound of the water outside, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
Although he was born into a magical family, he was a squib and was not treated well by his parents since he was a child. He tried to learn all kinds of potions, tried to prove himself, and even wanted to restore his magical talents, but it was all in vain.
Although he could feel the magic, he didn't have even the slightest bit of magic in his body, and he couldn't even release a basic spell.
"Squibs are squibs, they will never fit into that group of people, and it is better to die silently. Kangra laughed at himself in a low voice, and then slowly fell asleep.
"Rustle", there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, which was the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the sand.
Kangra was suddenly awakened, "Who's there?"
There was no one outside to answer, only the constant whistling of the wind.
He immediately crawled out, but saw only a faint flash of golden light, and thick clothing and some food on the rocks not far away.
"Who are you?", Kangra ran to the highest rock to check, and then shouted around, "Can you take me out?"
But there was still no response.
As if he knew that the visitor did not want to see him, Kangra had no choice but to give up and went forward to collect life-saving supplies. But before he could get into the crevice, he bowed deeply into the air three times.
At this time, Canaan, who saw this scene in the mirror space, smiled slightly, these substances were placed there by him. He can also understand what happened to Squibs like Kangra.
Squibs have at least one of their parents who are wizards, and although Squibs inherit the blood of wizards, they are unable to learn magic, and their bodies do not grow in magic as they age.
Squibs are also generally not well received by wizards. Hogwarts Caretaker Argus Filch is a Squib, and he is so jealous of wizards who can learn magic that he punishes them for being unruly.
The premise of Canaan's magical system, which has been inherited from the ancient one, only needs to be able to perceive magic and then draw it from the void. Squibs happen to be people who can sense magic but can't learn the magic of this world, and in Canaan's opinion, this kind of person may be very suitable for learning the magic of the ancient one.
Canaan had always wanted to build a force of his own, and he felt that these Squibs were good candidates, most of them had a thirst for magic but were limited by their talents. If there is an opportunity to master magic in front of them, I believe they can even sell their souls at all costs.
"Personnel also need to be well selected, and there needs to be a strict confidentiality agreement. After thinking deeply, Canaan felt that it was getting late, and then opened the portal and returned to the hotel with Lucy.
......
Early the next morning, Canaan came to the Ancient Secret Realm alone. He went to the crevice in the rock where Kangra had been staying last night, only to find it empty, except for a few scraps of food.
Canaan frowned, he didn't think a Squib that didn't even have magic power would run around this place.
"All traces are visible!", Canaanite wand waved, and a cloud of golden mist emerged from the tip of the wand and filled the surroundings.
It's a magic that allows you to recreate a scene that happened before, but not too long.
"Is this, Newt?", Canaan looked at the pattern simulated by the golden mist, it was Newt. It turned out that he came to the lake early in the morning, found Kangra, and took Kangra away.
"Oh, okay. But Dumbledore wasn't there. Canaan wondered. It stands to reason that in this dangerous secret realm, they should be tightly hugged and will not be separated.
"Anyway, let's go over and have a look. Canaan made up his mind, and then entered the mirror space, chasing them in the direction they had left.
