Chapter 123: The Truth

"Come back, Fangs!"

The banshee standing in front of the door shouted viciously, and the little goblin on the ground rolled over and got up, and slipped behind Feleya's dirty and old dark brown cowhide robe, revealing a big eye, blinking and stealing Ning An and the others, grinning, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and making a "zizi" sound like a demonstration.

It was called fangs, Ning An thought, the name was apt, banshees were a more savage type of human, most of them looked like an ugly old woman, Muggles would mistake them for witches, but in reality, if you look carefully enough, you can see that they only have four toes.

Banshees, like evil spirits, like to eat children, but rather they like to eat fresh hearts and livers than children, they can use a lot of magic, evil spirits are indeed not opponents, and there is no precedent in German history for banshees to raise evil spirits to help them seduce children.

"Ellebi ......"

The old lady gazed warily at the wizards who had built her own dwellings, and said in a rough voice:

"You're bringing some people with you...... What are you doing with me? ”

The hostility and vigilance in the words have been revealed, obviously she has no good impression of wizards, it is true that the banshees who live in this kind of deep mountains and old forests are generally to avoid wizards, because of cannibalism, in history banshees have been hunted by wizards in large numbers, until the introduction of the "Guidelines for the Treatment of Half-Humans for Non-Wizards", this kind of killing stopped.

Ning An watched silently, of course this kind of thing is better for acquaintances, Ellerby's company is outside the Black Forest, and he should have some friendship with this banshee, otherwise he would not bring them over, although the other party's attitude is not good, but it is also human nature to guard against people.

Sure enough, Ellebi squeezed out a smile on his face, and the old man rubbed his hands and stepped forward, and said to the banshee with a smile:

"These two are investigators from the Ministry of Magic, and they're here for the recent Evil Elf attack."

The banshee named Felea frowned, glanced at Ning An and Jung, and when she saw Ning An, the corner of her eyes involuntarily chou/dong, this investigator was a little too young, but she didn't interrupt Ellebi, and the old wizard continued:

"You've lived here for a long time, do you know what's going on in the Black Forest, and which group of evil elves have started eating people again?"

The witch glanced at everyone, opened her mouth, and showed her sharp, yellow teeth, hesitated for half a second, and her eyes fell on Ellebi, who put on a smile again, and Felea finally spoke

"Come in and talk about it."

The bonfire burst out with a "crackling" sound, the flames jumped up half a meter, Feleya slowly turned around, pushed open the wooden door with a "squeak", and walked in with a leaning body.

Ellerby turned his head and looked at Ning An with a smile, signaling that he could go in, Ning An didn't say anything, and patted Forner heavily? Ellerby's shoulder, he couldn't see where the old man was clearly betraying his hue just now, how difficult it was.

Although I don't know what kind of evil fate there is between Ellerby and the banshee, Felea only agreed to let them in because of Ellerby's face, which is undoubtedly confirmed, and the old lady looks at Ellerby differently than she does at them.

Ning An had to admit that compared to the taciturn Randolph? Badmore, Elleby is more eloquent, likable, and liked, but now why does Badmore look gloating.

When I walked into the cabin, I was greeted by a shabby wooden table with a black candle on it that was about to burn out, and the wax tears had solidified and piled up underneath, making the whole table even dirtier.

There was not much space in the room, and the four of them became more and more crowded when they entered, and there was almost no place to stay, and there was a bed behind the table by the window, but the light of the candles was no longer enough to shine there, only a hazy black shadow could be seen, and Felea sat down in the chuang/hang, hiding herself in the dim shadows.

"You may be seated—"

A hoarse voice came, Ning An moved a chair under the pi/gu, and sat down against the table, the cabinet next to him was filled with all kinds of strange and scary things, with rolling eyeballs, tongues bouncing back, dried corpses of rats, and a small dish of bloody raw liver.

Ning An wondered if his party had disturbed others for lunch.

"You want to know why the Evil Elves have started eating people again?"

The banshee said that you were talking about you, but her eyes were only looking at Ellebi, and the old wizard was embarrassed, so he nodded and asked:

"Yes, that's a big problem, hasn't the Ministry of Magic already designated a living area for them? There were no Muggle humans living there. ”

"Boom—"

Felea let out a strange laugh, which made Ning An think of the vulture eating carrion for no reason.

She lifted a thin, slender finger with skin drooping to the limit, nodded her head and said to Ellebi:

"Don't you wizards have brains...... They are eating people again, of course, because they have been driven out of their territory by something else. ”

As she spoke, she used her other hand to scratch the chin of the evil spirit hidden behind her, and muttered:

"yes, Fangs—no home, poor little one."

Ning An doesn't think this thing is pitiful, looking at its teeth, you can imagine what it will be like when the fresh meat falls into the mouth, and the blur of flesh and blood should be regarded as a very gentle adjective.

"What is it? What drove the evil elves out of their territory? ”

Jung asked eagerly before Ellerby, among the four of them, he was the only one who was a member of the Ministry of Magic, and he was also the most concerned about this matter, and of course Ning An was also concerned, but because he was quite confident and powerful, he had no fear, and his behavior was more casual.

"Cluck-"

The banshee let out another oozing laugh and sneered at Jung:

"You wizards are really brainless, who doesn't know the three creatures that live the most in the Black Forest, what else do you think has the power to drive the evil elves out of the middle of the Black Forest?"

Although there are many kinds of magical creatures in the Black Forest, such as the Tree Guard, the Little Devil or the Eight-Eyed Spider, there are three main types, banshees, evil elves and vampires, which inhabit the northern, central and southern parts of the Black Forest, respectively.

From Felea's words, it is not difficult to hear that it seems that the evil elves were not driven out by the banshees, so there is only one answer left-

"Vampires?"

Forner? Ellerby frowned, turned around and glanced at Ning An and Jung, both of whom saw the confusion in each other's eyes

"What are these guys going crazy about, why do you want to drive away the evil spirits?"

"Who knows, maybe you just want to dominate the forest? You wizards don't do that very often. ”

Felea seemed to be quite relaxed about this, and seemed unconcerned, as if she didn't live in the big forest.

"Aren't you worried? - Well, you know, don't you live here too? ”

Ellebi spoke out the doubts in their hearts in the place of the people.

"Sneer—"

The banshee's laughter was ever-changing, but no matter which one sounded incomparable, she cuo/nong her fingernails, there seemed to be a green fire burning in her eyes, and she said to a few people in a slightly vicious tone:

"How dare they come to the north? Corcelia had already organized everyone, and if those bats dared to come here and treat us like evil spirits, they would definitely regret it. ”

Felea's words sounded confident, as if a vampire was just a worthless squirrel in the forest, and although both had powerful teeth, they were fundamentally different.

Ning An was skeptical of her self-confidence, although the banshee could also cast spells, but it could not be compared with the existence of wizards who were favored by magic, and vampires were not so easy to deal with, if the vampires suddenly began to have thoughts about occupying the entire Black Forest, Ning An was sure that it was not without purpose, and there must be something to rely on.

"I'm sorry—" Jung said suddenly

"War in the Black Forest is forbidden, and on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I ask you to put an immediate end to this confrontation, to return the Evil Elves to their dwellings in accordance with the 1945 Black Forest Treaty, and not to drive these annoying little creatures around."

He spoke very strongly, wizards have always had an absolutely transcendent position in the wizarding world, and their powerful spell-casting ability makes most magical creatures not their opponents, even the weak German wizarding community still has a high authority in front of these tribal magical creatures.

The atmosphere in the hut became frozen, and Felea seemed to have a lot of complaints about Jung's tough demands, but after staring at Jung with cloudy eyes for a while, she finally spoke slowly, and her momentum was much weaker

"It's not for us to decide — it's not for me to decide......"

"Then take us to Kocelia, Felea."

Ellerby said before Jung, his tone was much gentler, and Ning An wondered if this guy really had some ulterior past with the banshee in front of him.

"Who is Corcelia?" Ning An still hadn't forgotten his business, he sat on the triangular stool farthest from the bed and asked curiously.

"The leader of the Banshees, the de facto ruler of the northern Black Forest." Elebi answered for the banshee.

And Felea looked extremely entangled, the warts on her face were almost crowded together, and her hands didn't care to rub on the head of the little evil elf 'fangs', and her eyes were only on Jung and Elleby, as if she was really bluffed by Jung's righteous words just now.

"Good...... Well......"

After a while, the banshee finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said to a few people:

"I can take you to meet Cocelia, in fact there's a rally tonight at the Natural Lake...... But—"

She rolled her eyes, and defended herself rather unconvinced, "You're still going to have to talk to those bats, they started this—"

"Of course, the Ministry of Magic will coordinate your interests - of course we'll talk to the vampires, but only after we're done talking to you."

Jung straightened his small bow tie under his neck and explained to Felea with a serious expression.

"Okay......"

The banshee hung her head in frustration and glanced at Ellebi with hatred, as if it were all bad luck for him, and Ellebi spread her hands and looked very innocent.

"But you won't have to wait until the evening, and you'll stay here until then." Felea patted the head of the evil elf beside her, and commanded in a hoarse voice:

"Go, fangs, go get the food."

The little goblin obediently jumped down from chuang/shang, looked at the wizards sitting on the high chair vigilantly, and then quickly rushed to the shelf where Ning An was, jumped up, and brought down the plate of raw liver on it, and then made an ugly grimace at Ning An, and ran back to his master, looking proud.

"I don't have anything to eat here, so if you're hungry, you can go out and find something to eat."

Feleya cut off a small piece of raw liver with her long sharp nails, threw it to the evil spirit who was waiting beside her, and then sneered at Ning An and said to them:

"Of course, these delicacies can also be shared with you, if you want to eat them."

Ning An looked at the raw liver that exuded a strong fishy smell, and there was blood dripping on it, which in some ways might mean that it was just the right amount of freshness, but Ning An only felt disgusted, he missed Hohenzollern Manor, he missed the meals made by the house-elf Uzi, he missed the grilled pork chops, mashed potatoes, beef, mutton, and all kinds of soups and breads.

The next time was perhaps the most difficult period of Ning An's life, as he had to endure hunger and exhaustion, as well as the sound of Feleya chewing raw liver with relish.

As for going out hunting? Ning An really didn't want to go anymore, they had already walked for several hours and trekked here, and after sitting for a while, his legs were completely reluctant to get up, besides, he was not a hunter, where to find prey.

Fortunately, Jung, Elleby, and Badmore were with him, and the four wizards stayed in the house, and then Ning An felt bored, so he went outside, guarded the fire, and lay on the grass.

It was dimly lit, with a quiet lake ahead, and although the birds and insects could not be heard, there was a different kind of quiet, and the towering trees above blocked the sunlight as if it were a naturally formed shed, and the only thing worth worrying about was that he could not tell the difference between day and night, and he did not even know whether it was noon or afternoon, only that he had set out from the Hohenzollern Manor early in the morning.

Lying on the grass, letting the firelight change different images in his eyes, Ning An fell asleep unconsciously, and when he heard Jung whispering in his ear and woke up again, the surroundings became darker and darker, and he could barely see anything except the light from the campfire.

Felea and Elebi were standing in front of the room, the evil spirit 'Fang' still following closely behind their master, Pi/Gu.

"Mr. Ning'an, it's time for us to go—" Jung called quietly.

"Am I asleep......"

Ning An rubbed his eyes, he didn't expect that he had fallen asleep, he stretched his waist and got up from the ground, and unconsciously "purred" and screamed alone.

Felea didn't say anything, turned around and said dryly, "Let's go, let's go to the natural lake." ”
