The natural lake is a small lake larger than the small lake in front of Felea's residence, but there are no more plants around it except for the sparse wetland vines, and it looks a little lonely in the jungle, far less natural than the natural smell of Felea's wooden hut.

At least there are beautiful little flowers by the lake? Ning An scolded in his heart, they had already arrived at their destination, obviously the assembly had not started yet, but there had been a gathering of banshees in advance, they gathered together in twos and threes, hiding in the shadows, and they could only glimpse black shadows from the gaps in the trees, but they couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

There were only a few very young banshees, frolicking and chasing each other by the lake, and it looked like it was not for an existential gathering, but rather like an ordinary family feast.

"Cocelia hasn't arrived yet—"

Felea also stood still under a tall birch tree, looked around, and after making sure that a bonfire with a pile of rotten wood had not been lit in the clearing by the lake, she sighed and said to Ning An and them:

"When the leader comes, a bonfire will be lit, and the assembly will begin at that time."

"Why did the children bring it too?" Ning An was quite interested in those chasing and fighting figures, so he asked.

"They're also banshees, and the banshees of the Black Forest have to learn early what matters to their survival."

Feleya replied in a deep voice, the indescribable heaviness and seriousness in her tone made Ning An embarrassed to continue to ask, for a long time, Ning An, who was paying attention to the group of little banshees, found that on the side of the calm lake, there was a small figure sitting alone by the lake, not participating in the frolic.

"Plop, plop—"

Two stones fell into the water, splashing a few drops, and at the same time more small black stones were thrown out and smashed on the small figure sitting alone, and on closer inspection, it was the other children who were throwing stones at the figure sitting alone, which also looked like a little banshee.

"Who's that?"

Ning An stretched out her hand and pointed, Feleya just glanced up, the light was too dim to be unclear, but she immediately called out the person's name

"Oh, it's Charlotte."

She said lightly, as if she was not surprised that the little banshee named Charlotte was being bullied by the others.

"Why did they do this to her?" Ning An was very curious, and couldn't help but walk towards the lake, as soon as he moved, Jung, Ellerby, and Badmore naturally followed, Feleya opened her mouth as if to stop them, but she didn't have time at all, the four of them had already left the woods and walked into the open space by the lake, she pulled her dry and frizzy hair, and had no choice but to follow, walk two steps quickly, and came behind Ning An.

"The next generation-" The banshee gasped, and her tone was still flat and unchanged to Ning An, "Her parents are both wizards, not banshees, and there are banshees in her ancestors before her." ”

The five people came to the lake, in fact, as soon as they appeared in the clearing, they attracted a lot of attention, and there seemed to be a breeze mixed with secret words in the dense forest in an instant, and the sound of chattering was like a mosquito barking to fill people's ears, and when they got closer, Ning An saw the appearance of these little banshees clearly, and understood what the so-called intergenerational species was.

The little banshee named Charlotte is indeed different from other banshees, the little girl is white and pure, with dark red hair, delicate facial features like a porcelain doll, the expression on her face is timid, holding a tattered bear doll in her hand, looking at Ning An and his party who came over like her, it seems that she got up and wanted to leave, but her body kept trembling, not so much a banshee, Ning An would rather believe that she was a wizard.

The other little banshees are all of the "Felea" type, many of them are hunched over, rickety, and some are on all fours, crawling on the ground like wild beasts, and when they see Felea coming over, they are frightened and jump to the side, far away.

Ning An got closer and saw that the little banshees who were bullying Charlotte around him were scared away, so he no longer walked forward, but stood in place, not because he was overflowing with sympathy, but he remembered that most of the members of Snake Letter had been bullied in Slytherin House before they chose to join Snake Letter.

Seeing the scene of other people bullying Charlotte, he unconsciously remembered his companion of the snake letter, so he came over to relieve the little girl, and now the banshee who threw stones at her has run away, and naturally there is nothing to do, Ning An doesn't want to disturb the other party, and the children seem to be quite happy to stay by the lake.

He turned around to walk back, standing in the open space, although others couldn't see their faces clearly, but after all, it was a little dazzling, but he found that the corner of his clothes was being dragged by someone, and when he looked back, he saw the little banshee Charlotte holding a rag bear doll that was almost half the size of her body with one hand, and the other little hand timidly grabbed the corner of Ning An's clothes, and her big eyes shone in the dim night, as if she could speak.

"Hang out with me......"

Ning An didn't immediately open Charlotte's hand, he looked at Felea beside him, frowned and asked:

"What about her family?"

Since their parents are wizards, why don't they stay in the wizarding world and run away to the Black Forest?

But I saw Felea frowning tightly, a trace of discomfort appeared on her face, any creature has a natural aversion to aliens, Charlotte's intergenerational species is not at all different from them in the eyes of the banshee, especially the appearance that is clearly a wizard, there is not even a shadow of a wart on the face, smooth like a carefully polished mirror.

"Her parents are dead, Corcelia picked them up."

The banshee's simple words, with endless twists and turns in her heart, but she didn't want to say more, Ning An was even more puzzled

"Why is she a banshee, shouldn't she be more like a wizard?"

"Ahem, Mr. Ning'an, please look at her toes-"

This is Ellebi speaking, he has used a fluorescent spell to illuminate this small area, otherwise it is really impossible to see the surroundings, and the jungle is floating in the jungle at some point, and the sky is really dark too fast.

Charlotte had already withdrawn her hand, holding the doll in her arms tightly with both hands, as if she was aggrieved and scared because Ning An didn't answer her just now, but now it was too late to regret her reckless act just now, and it didn't seem to be a wise way to turn around and run away.

Charlotte remembers that she had more than once offered to play with other banshees, and when she was refused, she tripped over them with magic because she turned and ran away, and the vines that grew on the ground would wrap around her ankles so hard that it hurt to fall.

Ning An looked at Charlotte's feet by the light of the fluorescent spell, the girl's little feet were so bare, most of the banshees were like this, as if wearing shoes would make them uncomfortable, there was some dirt on them, but it was easy to see clearly, it was four toes, not five for ordinary humans.

Only a banshee would have four toes, and Ning An'an thought it was no wonder that everyone thought she was a banshee.

Although Ning An has become much calmer recently because of his relaxed mood, it doesn't mean that he is the kind of big brother next door who plays with children, but looking at the little girl's pitiful big eyes, and he can't bear to say too cruel words, the most ruthless people in this world are probably cute little animals and timid little girls.

"Next time."

Ning An stroked Charlotte's crimson hair with his hand, smiled and stopped talking, because at this moment the bonfire made of a pair of rotten wood in the clearing was suddenly lit, and flames seven or eight feet high burst out.

At some point, a banshee dressed like Felea, dressed in a black leather robe, with a tattered hem as if it had been bitten, barefoot, and four mud-stained toes firmly on the ground, lifted the hood from her head, revealing a fairly young face, which would have been quite a feminine woman if it had not been for the warts that had destroyed the mei/gan.

It's just that now, whether it is the face or the rickety back, people quickly forget that face and automatically replace it with the most impressive old witch in their minds.

"Cocelia—"

Feleya snorted softly, and walked towards that side, with the appearance of the banshee and the ignition of the bonfire, the black shadows in the woods slowly walked out, the banshees hunched back, slowly gathered like a bonfire, Ning An and his party were extremely eye-catching at this time, when they walked to the bonfire, almost everyone kept a distance of three meters from them.

Ning An was no one around, and the banshee leader named Corcelia also noticed Ning An, and when everyone else leaned over, she shouted to Felea and asked:

"Felea! Why are outsiders in our assembly!? ”

Felea glanced back at a few people, her gaze focused on Ellerby for a moment, and then she replied calmly:

"These are the investigators of the German Ministry of Magic, who came to investigate the matter of the evil spirits, and they happened to bump into me, and they seem to have something to say to you, so I brought them to meet you."

As soon as they heard that it was an investigator from the Ministry of Magic, who had come to investigate the Evil Elf incident, the other banshees couldn't help but "buzz" about it, and the campfire suddenly became noisy, and Cocelia coughed vigorously several times before the discussion was calmed down.

"Oh? So, please come and talk to the Investigator. ”

Corcelia is not like Felea, a little afraid of the Ministry of Magic, she calmly stretched out her hand, signaling Ning An and the others to step forward, although there was no direct obedience, but at least they did not blow them away on the spot, so Ning An took Jung forward, Ellebi and Badmore were not staff of the Ministry of Magic, they didn't need to come up, but as wizards, they still followed.

"Hello, I'm Corcelia—"

The banshee leader took Jung as the head of the group as a matter of course, and took the lead in reaching out to Jung, Jung glanced at Ning An a little embarrassed, Ning An signaled that it was okay, stepped forward and blocked between Corcelia and Jung, reached out and held the palm of the other party's outstretched hand, and said softly:

"Hello, I'm Ning An."

Corcelia frowned slightly, before he could figure out what was going on, a young man rushed out to shake hands in front, and then looked at Jung and the others behind him who didn't have the slightest meaning for this, and had a thought in his heart that he didn't believe it

"Could this kid who doesn't look very old be a member of the Ministry of Magic? Or is it the head of this investigation? ”

This is a very unbelievable conclusion, both by common sense and logic, but it is true, and the expression on Jung's face speaks for itself, they have this boy in high esteem.

In a state of ignorance, Corcelia shook hands with Ning An, only to hear a serious voice ringing in her ears

"Lady Kocelia, you should be aware of the regulations of the Ministry of Magic regarding the Black Forest, as stated in the 1945 Black Forest Treaty, that no war can be waged without permission, or beyond the boundaries of one's own territory, and all disputes will be mediated by the German Ministry of Magic, right?"

Corcelia was a little caught off guard by the sudden question, she didn't expect to be questioned when she came up, and it was when she was immersed in surprise, but soon she came back to her senses and understood that she couldn't just look at the age of the person in front of her, so she simply regarded Ning An as a middle-aged wizard in her forties and fifties, and then said seriously:

"Of course, this ...... Mr. Ning'an, we never thought of starting a war, but according to all the information we have received, it seems that it is the vampire on the other side of the forest, who are provoking the war, and we are just forced to defend ourselves. ”

Corcelia, who adjusted her mentality, became calm, threw away all the problems at once, and put the banshees into a pitiful, helpless, and bullied character all of a sudden, of course, she may just be telling the facts, but Ning An didn't think that these banshees were completely innocent, they had captured a large number of evil spirits who had been driven out of their homes, and they also liked to eat children.

It's just that now finding out the evil elves and banshees that hurt people is already a secondary problem, and the main problem has become how to quell this riot in the Black Forest, Ning An can't help but think that the German Ministry of Magic is really short of manpower, if it weren't for himself and Jung and they came to the Black Forest in person this time, I'm afraid that one day the war really broke out, the creatures in the Black Forest were in chaos, and the bu/zhang office was filled with yelling letters, and the members of the ministry would know that there was a war here.

In the final analysis, it is the decline of the German wizarding world, the number of wizards is decreasing, and there are fewer and fewer educated wizards, resulting in a decline in the control of the Black Forest region, the largest and most magical creatures in Germany, but if you can only reintegrate the magical creatures of the Black Forest, you must be able to bring yourself a lot of prestige, although the ordinary members of the Ministry of Magic may not know about his existence now, but as long as the core is in their own hands, it is enough.

However, as soon as Ning An wanted to say something, he heard the sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering" from the jungle not far away, as if there were countless sparrows or crows flying between the birch and pine trees.

Cocelia's expression changed suddenly, and her stiff waist seemed to straighten up a little in an instant, and she hurriedly exclaimed:

"Oh no—it's the vampires!"
