Chapter 1031: The Hanged Man's Tavern
ββ¦β¦ Still can't do it! Sure enough, you can't find the magic node at that time? β
Slowly flying out of the crypt that led to somewhere underground, Maca frowned and thought left and right for a moment, and finally shook her head a little helplessly.
It was not for nothing that he wanted to return to that black and white space. Because no matter how you think about it, there is bound to be a very important clue hidden there.
However, once he got out of trouble, he could never find his way back.
"Ahem...... Why don't you look somewhere else? Probably seeing that Maca was a little bored, the trench-robed wizard who came out after him asked hesitantly.
When Maca heard this, she quickly waved her hand.
"No," he said, "if I could have found it by perception, I should have found it when I tried it for the first time half a month ago." I still can't find it, which means that it's just the wrong way to find it......"
At that time, in order to get out of the predicament, he used spiders to build a huge magic web. And after that, he tried to find it again in the same way.
However, it was clear that even if he had even included the position below the ground in the scope of sensing exploration that time, he still failed to achieve anything.
The magic node must exist, otherwise Helbo himself would not have been able to enter it. But this time, he must have completely covered up the node.
Even for Maca, it was not quite difficult to find it again.
"Let's go! Forget this matter today, let me think about it again! β
In fact, it's already afternoon.
Since this morning, Maca has taken her to the Ministry of Magic first. After chatting with Scrimgeour about the current state of the British wizarding world, he went to Black's house to get a thick piece of information.
Those documents were all about the Muggle world and the wizarding world in Britain, and they were compiled by Mondigus and their intelligence dealers.
Then, from the time she came out of the old mansion in the morning until she came here to investigate the magic node, Maca had been running around the UK according to some special information in the data.
From the coast to the interior, from the city to the countryside, and even a few times to some Muggle farms in the middle of nowhere.
That is, the British place is not very big, and Maca is just a walk around, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be able to finish half of the day in this half of the day.
It can be seen that Maca is actually only doing this to personally examine the general situation of the entire United Kingdom, including the wizarding world and the Muggle world, and neither side has let go.
However, I know that Helbo will never stop there, but today he still has nothing to gain - the so-called waste of time probably refers to this, right?
Seeing that Maca waved her hand lightly and continued to walk forward, the windbreaker wizard suddenly couldn't help but ask:
"Where do you go next? Be...... Ahem, do you want to continue the patrol? β
"Huh?" Maca paused, then shook her head, "Oh no, that's the end of today's 'hangout' - it's boring to follow me around, right?" Don't come with me tomorrow, wouldn't it be nice to go to class with Luna? β
"No, it's not boring at all," the trench-coated wizard said immediately, "really...... If it's all right, let me follow me tomorrow! β
"Really?"
"Yes!"
Although I knew that Maca would be puzzled by what she insisted on following, it was not something that could be explained. So, she just nodded.
"So is it time to go back to Hogwarts today?"
"Yes, that's right." "I thought it would take a little more time, but when I actually walked around, it was faster than I expected......
As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Of course, before we go back, let's settle the lunch affair first! I'm sorry, but it's already afternoon...... You've been hungry for a long time, right? β
"No, it's fine. It's nice to have something to eat every day......"
As soon as she said this, the trench-clad wizard felt a little regretful - it stands to reason that she should have paid more attention to her mouth.
But as far as some of the information implied in the casual words of the trench coat wizard, Maca only thought that she didn't notice it at all. I saw that he walked forward a little lazily as before, without even looking back.
The trench-robed wizard hurried two quick steps to catch up with Maca and return to the nearby Muggle town.
"There's a wizard-owned tavern here, just around the corner of this Muggle street," Maca said as she walked down the street, "The owner of that tavern is also a Hogwarts graduate, Sirius mentioned to me last timeβ"
The streets of this Muggle town are sparsely populated by pedestrians. The two walked forward for a short time, and Maca spotted a coffee-colored shop that was slightly recessed in.
The wooden grille windows, the old shop doors, and the strange signs nailed to old wooden boards make you want to go inside.
ββ¦β¦ The Hanged Man Tavern? β
"Well," said Maca casually, "a card from a Muggle card game that Muggles use for divination. Of course, if you want to be accurate or not, you have to rely on luck......"
With that, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door with a "squeak" and walked in gently.
"Jingle bells."
"Welcome, two guests."
As soon as she entered the door, Maca heard the voice of an old man next to her. He turned his head to see a portrait hanging on the wall of the doorway.
"Oh, hello......" he continued, looking at the nameplate below, "Mrs. Gleman." β
"Hello, young guest." The old woman in the portrait squinted her eyes and said, "Please sit down, Ted will come with his menu - of course, you can also order from me, and I'll go to the kitchen and tell Ted." β
"Don't bother you," Maca smiled, "We're not in a hurry, just wait!" β
With that, he turned and walked inside.
As you can see, this is an old tavern with a very simple decoration.
Many places are decorated with wood, but the decorations that should have been beautiful have now been changed by years of wiping, and they no longer look like they used to be.
Probably because it wasn't a meal at the moment, there were only two or three guests in the tavern, and most of them were drinking alone.
Soon after the two of them sat down at the dappled table, a man in his thirties walked out of the small tavern.
"I'm sorry, I heard it just now, but I still have a little work to do, so I wiped my hands first...... You didn't keep you two waiting, did you? β
"It's fine!" Maca waved her hand, and then said to the other side, "You can have some!" Look at what you want to eat. β
After asking the boss to give the menu to the trench coat wizard, Maca said to the boss again:
"Sirius Black told me about you, and he said if I wanted to know anything about the area, I could ask you?"
When the trench-robed wizard sitting on the other side heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say "sure enough" - Maca would choose this place, not for nothing.
Since the node that came out before is located near this town, it is undoubtedly a natural thing to come here to inquire about information.
However, even Maca, who can sense magic, can't find a magic node, so can such a tavernkeeper know?
"Oh, Sirius?" The boss named Ted immediately smiled happily and said, "No problem - you can ask whatever you want!" If it's something I've heard, I can certainly tell you! β
"No, on the contrary, I want to hear what you know." "Whatever happens, if there's anything strange happening around here, you can say it......"
"Strange things?" The boss tilted his head and said, "It's just such a Muggle town, it's ordinary all day long, what can be so strange......
After thinking about it carefully, he replied:
"If you really want to talk about it, it's the terrible disaster some time ago...... It happened in the city of London, but I could see it from here, and I almost rolled up my bunk and ran away! β
Although the town also belongs to London, it is already a "suburb of suburbs", and the disaster that began in London has never affected it from beginning to end.
However, listening to what this boss said, it can be understood that for ordinary wizards and civilians, it is definitely a very terrible catastrophe.
"Yes, yes!" Maca nodded, "Is there anything special about this during that timeβfor example, in some places around town, have there been any spells like the Muggle Expulsion Charm?" β
"Banishing the Muggle Curse?" The boss followed his words and reminisced again, but finally shook his head and said, "As you can see, there are fewer inhabitants in this place - fewer Muggles and fewer wizards. In comparison, the area around the town is much bigger......"
Although the other party did not finish speaking, Maca could understand the meaning.
However, he was just trying his luck.
Although he felt that if Helbo had done something here, in order to be sure, he would have prevented the Muggles that were almost everywhere in this day and age from approaching. But if you want to find any clues with just such an idea, this is no different from hitting a big luck.
The inquiry was fruitless, and seeing that the wizard in the trench coat had already ordered today's belated lunch, Maca put aside these incidental things for the time being.
"Boss, I'm fine here!" He said, "I heard that the boss is also from Hufflepuff, so I'm looking forward to your cooking skills!" β
"Of course! This is my ability to eat, guests wait a minute, you will ...... in a while"
"Ahh
Cold, the boss seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up.
