The prototype of the mercury statue was indeed the initiator of the establishment of this new wizarding town. However, it was not the Minister of Magic at the time, but a low-key witch with a low reputation.

Oh, and when it comes to "low-key", this assessment may not actually be suitable for her. Because although she did keep a low profile all her life, in her last year in the wizarding world, she did something great that all those who knew her and those who didn't know her at that time felt admiration and admiration.

It's a pity that, for some very regrettable reason, all the deeds about her were hidden in the most turbulent year of the British wizarding world. And the only result of her efforts is such a magical town that has not yet been fully built.

As for the stories about her, few people still remember them.

"Mira...... I must say, you will always be the most beautiful girl in Lao Tzu's heart! Your beauty was so perfect that even Babur, the world's most outstanding statue maker at the time, could only compromise with the moving and ever-changing mercury......"

On the spire-top tower by the central square of Spiral Town, a slightly crickety figure leaned out of the railing against the light of the streetlamp.

To be honest, it made him look a little dangerous, as if he would fall off the tower if he wasn't careful.

But he didn't care about any of this, and just cast his eyes straight to the square, staring at the silver shadow from afar.

Speaking of which, this slightly thin man, Maca, was still known, and he was Enns's old father, Mr. Taon...... Oh no, it should be said, it's "Mr. Gaunt".

This man, who had been somewhat lucky in the disaster of London, had now arrived in this town. However, he seemed to be familiar with the town, which had never been open to the public, and soon after arriving, he quietly broke away from the group and made his way to the top of the tower on his own.

"Mira, you asked Lao Tzu to take care of Enns, and Lao Tzu did it; You asked Lao Tzu not to run to the wizarding world to go crazy for you, and Lao Tzu did it...... You even asked Lao Tzu to send Ens to your alma mater to study, and Lao Tzu did it. ”

"Now, even the town where you broke the bank, and even finally gave your life, is about to be officially opened for living"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, shook his head and muttered to himself:

"There were wizards, there were Muggles, there were vampires and werewolves...... Although all this was achieved by a great disaster that no one could have predicted, it was ...... Isn't this the wonderful scene you thought about and thought about all your life? ”

After a few words of emotion, he chuckled and pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Although, what's so 'wonderful' about this? I just can't see it...... But as long as you like, I guess that's enough! ”

The "Mira" in his mouth, whose real name is Miranda, is naturally his de facto wife and Enns's mother.

For him, who has lived incognito in the Muggle world with his mother since he was a child, it is his luck to meet such a girl who has also been "abandoned" by the wizarding world.

However, from the day they met Miranda, both understood that they couldn't stay together forever. Because Miranda had already suffered incurable injuries before she fled the wizarding world.

Coupled with the fact that in order to safely nurture the crystallization of the relationship between the two, Miranda overdrew her remaining vitality and left on the night of giving birth to her child.

"Mira," said Old Gaunt, slowly opening his eyes and looking at the mercury statue from afar, "I still vividly remember the time when you brought Lao Tzu here to see what this town had secretly built before you conceived that little thing...... But you know what? At that time, Lao Tzu only thought it was particularly ironic, but he didn't tell you! ”

“…… You asked Lao Tzu, a 'man from the Gaunt family', to see this town that was forced by 'another man from the Gaunt family' to build in secret...... Isn't that ironic enough, you say? ”

……

I remember that it was 1978, the year that Miranda, as a professor of Muggle studies at Hogwarts, was in the limelight of Voldemort, who was at the height of his power, and advocated the construction of a Muggle and wizarding town.

I have to say that as a descendant of the ancient giant clan, even after countless iterations of hybrids, there are few giant characteristics left on Miranda's body, but her simple but tenacious spiritual will is still in the same vein as the giant.

At a time when everyone was afraid of Voldemort and didn't even dare to call him by name, that kind of proposal was tantamount to carrying an extraordinarily clear banner of opposition.

Perhaps because her actions were so radical that even Dumbledore was unable to save her, she was attacked by Death Eaters during an initiative.

Miranda's dueling prowess and her demonic resistance inherited from the bloodlines of ancient giants narrowly escaped from the pursuit of dozens of Death Eaters. Knowing that she might not be able to do anything, she finally dragged her seriously injured body and hid in the Muggle world that Voldemort had not yet had time to take care of.

It was also at that time that she met her father, Enns, who was also forced to hide in the Muggle world because of Voldemort.

To be honest, Miranda was not completely dead in the first year, she was still silently observing the movements of the wizarding world while recuperating from her injuries.

It was not until the British Ministry of Magic, under pressure from Voldemort, broke up the "remnants" of the initiators she had gathered, and ordered the construction of Spiral Town to be terminated indefinitely. It was with great pain that she completely severed all ties with the wizarding world and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her association with Old Gaunt.

Later, by chance, she received a handwritten letter from Dumbledore from an unknown source. It was then that she learned that the then Minister of Magic had scattered and expelled those initiators, in fact, it was more protection for her like-minded friends.

And the most important thing is that this magical town called "Spiral Town" has actually been built quietly and secretly......

"Look, dear...... It was Professor Dumbledore's own statue of mine that Professor Dumbledore had personally invited his friend and famous sculptor of Indian wizarding to make! Seriously, where am I so beautiful, those sculptors just like to do what they like, and make me unrecognizable! ”

"Oh! Look again, dear...... Look at the two bunches of mercury in my statue's hand...... They intertwined and slowly rose and then merged silently, symbolizing a future where Muggles and wizards would eventually meet. ”

"So, I named this town 'Spiral Town'!"
