Chapter 435: Bear's Paw? Here's what's fresh!

Zhang was not injured when he beat the black bear with warm wine, but he also sweated. Although a small spell can dispose of the sweat on his body, Zhang Xu still chose to soak in the hot spring for a while. A hot shower after strenuous exercise is a great thing to enjoy.

At this time, it rained lightly in the sky, adding a touch of coolness to the mountain forest at night in summer.

When Zhang Xu returned to the hot spring, he looked at the two ketones in the pool that had been soaked in hot water and were floating on the water.

What the hell is this, two people fell into the water and were about to drown, see which one you save first?

Please, you're wizards, aren't you, the traces of magic on your body are so obvious, you'll be fine if you soak for more than a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, okay?

(⁄⁄‒⁄ω⁄‒⁄⁄)぀♨

Zhang Xu, who was drinking Shang Wen's sake and humming "After opening the door, I saw my wife fall to the ground with a kitchen knife stuck in her back, and there was a sea of blood on the ground", Zhang Xu, who saw Furong and Scarlet standing up from the water, said to them with a smile: "Your breath-holding competition is over?" ”

Then Zhang was beaten by the two.

Alas, let them vent. Zhang Xu, who was holding his head in his hands and bleeding from his nose, thought.

It's not that he doesn't know what the problem is.

The night passed, and the book did not go into details.

It was impossible for a black bear weighing several hundred pounds to ask Zhang Xu to finish eating it by himself, so he invited back the officials and wealthy businessmen who invited him to Japan this time.

In the end, the banquet also became a social event.

In ancient Japan, most sorcerers appeared in public as onmyoji.

Although Japan's Ministry of Magic has also joined the International Confederation of Wizards and abides by the International Secrets Act, the thousand-year-old tradition cannot be easily changed by the International Confederation of Wizards in Europe, so it can be said that it is a tacit tradition for Japanese dignitaries to hire wizards as advisors.

It's just that in the war half a century ago, the Japanese wizards were severely injured and have not been able to recover until now, and even the school magic institute that trains wizards has experienced two disasters in a short period of time.

Once it was broken by the long-distance attack of the Chinese monks, and then it was demolished in pieces, Zhang Xu also picked up some stones from the antique market and used them to pave the stone road in the back garden.

The second time, during the Battle of Okinawa, the U.S. Pacific Fleet "accidentally received wrong information and orders", and then the top of the hill of South Okinawa, where the magic is located, was washed by the Missouri women.

Now Zhang Xu is already a high-level figure in the European wizarding world, and the Japanese wizards who are quite close to Europe have naturally heard of him, plus Furong is one of the contestants in the Triwizard Tournament that year, so their identity has also been exposed by the "consultants" who came with those dignitaries.

Wizards from outside are good at chanting spells, an excellent student of Hogwarts, a professor of Hogwarts and an excellent graduate of Beauxbatons, the combination of three teachers and students from old and strong schools in Europe is enough to scare the dignitaries present, so they have increased their emotional investment.

And Zhang Xu also struck while the iron was hot and began to match his own business.

Aunt Niu's father said that wild bear meat has a foul and fishy smell, and those bears that do not have these smells are bred in captivity. The chef who had been brought in from Osaka had obviously prepared for this, and he made the black bear with its skin peeled open and made a bear hot pot with the effect of spices, and everyone was full of praise for it. And the legendary bear paw has a moist and fat taste, but Zhang Mou felt that there would be two malicious eyes staring at his hands from time to time, which made him a little frightened.

In the end, the bear skin was given to the innkeeper after Zhang Xu repaired it with magic, and it was necessary for Zhang Xu to befriend such a political broker.

After leaving Osaka and enjoying the sun, sand, red taro tara, Okinawa soba noodles, salted fish tofu, Ishigaki beef, sea grapes, fruit vinegar salad, tacosa rice, Agu black pork dishes, seafood feast and awamori sake, Zhang Xu and his party embarked on a journey to Europe.

Coffee shop near the headquarters of the Aurors International in Lyon, France.

"You're not going back to Bill and Charlie's wedding in a few days?" Zhang Xu asked Percy, who was sitting opposite, while stirring the coffee that had just been sweetened with milk.

"No return, the 'Rainbow Squad' has just been formed, and it is still the run-in period, and if I leave now, it will not affect me well." Percy replied.

"I think it's because your brothers have company, and now you're the only one, so you're embarrassed to go back, right?" Zhang asked with a funny face in a very scowling tone.

Percy squinted at Zhang Xu and said, "Believe it or not, I called a dozen people to beat you up?" ”

"Yo, you're a rookie so prestigious now?" Zhang Xu asked with some surprise, "It's been less than a week since you finished gathering, right?" ”

"I'm here to conquer them." Percy said, gesturing to his head.

"Whoever doesn't accept it will give him a head hammer?" Zhang Xu continued to ask.

Percy then rolled her eyes at the object.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Xu asked in a deep voice, "What happened that night?" ”

"Alas......" Percy sighed deeply, he knew what Zhang Xu meant by that day.

He organized his language and said, "When I received the letter from you, I organized a team of people to quietly stay near the pig's head bar. ”

"As soon as Twinkle came to report that day, we entered Hogwarts through the secret passages of the Hog's Head Bar."

"There were a lot of Death Eaters in the castle at the time, and they blocked all the roads leading to the headmaster's office. Almost all the students of the school were organized, and they tried to make their way to the principal's office. ”

"Soon after, the Order of the Phoenix also came, so I asked the professors and students to continue to put pressure on the Death Eaters, and I took a few Aurors and a few members of the Order of the Phoenix led by Moody to form a commando team, led by Filch, through a secret passage to bypass the Death Eater blockade, and then confronted a team of Death Eaters at the door of the headmaster's office."

"Just as we were about to break through their block, Snape, Draco Malfoy, and a few other Death Eaters rushed out of the Headmaster's office."

Percy looked down at the coffee in front of him and was silent for a long time, and after about five minutes he continued, "They were shouting 'Dumbledore is dead'. ”

"At that time, we were all stunned, and we couldn't stop them for a while, so they ran away."

"Then the Death Eaters in the castle retreated and left Hogwarts through the gates, only to be ambushed as soon as they exited the gates."

"Later we found Dumbledore's body under the tower of the Headmaster's office, and he fell out of the window of his office. There was also a petrified Harry under his invisibility cloak in the office. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xu and Percy were silent for a long time.

Percy used a spell to warm up the cold coffee in his cup and drank it all in one gulp, then he asked, "Do you know where the Death Eaters entered Hogwarts Castle from?" ”

Zhang Xu sat down on the chair dejectedly and said, "Secret room." ”

"You know?" Percy's eyes widened and she looked at Zhang Xu, "I heard Harry say that he went with you to check the secret room!" ”

Percy's implication was self-evident, and Zhang Xu could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Then Percy suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, I guess Scarlett told you. ”

"I knew it before this," Zhang Xu said in a low voice, "and he knew it." ”

Percy was stunned, then asked in an incredulous tone, "What do you mean?" ”

"Why do you think Harry and I didn't find the cabinet in the secret room?" "That's because he doesn't want us to discover it." ”

Percy was stunned as if she had been under a petrification spell, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word, "Why?" ”

"I'd love to know." Zhang Xu replied helplessly, "I have persuaded him a few times after I found out before, but he is very stubborn in this regard. As you know, I was kicked out. ”

After another moment of silence, Percy used his spell for the second time to heat up his cup of coffee and said, "There are a lot of small things in the passage in front of the chamber that you left behind, right?" We later found them when we inspected the chambers, but they were all destroyed. ”

"I think that's what Dumbledore did," Zhang Xu said, "or there would have been a Death Eater corpse on that stretch of road." ”

Then neither of them had the nature to continue the conversation.

Just as Zhang Xu was about to leave, Percy suddenly asked, "What is the purpose of the relics that Dumbledore left you?" The Ministry of Magic inspected it for a month and found that it was just a few ordinary cheating dice. ”

"What does '233' mean? It took a great deal of effort for the Ministry of Magic to figure out what it meant. ”

"It's literal." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he drank all the coffee in the cup and left, leaving Percy and other waiters to pay for him.
