Chapter 262: Hogwarts Professor of the History of Magic (13)

The Republic of Albania, abbreviated as "Albania", is a country located in southeastern Europe, southwest of the Balkan Peninsula.

Albania has a "dark forest" that is famous in the wizarding world.

Phyllis had read in a notebook that the Dark Forest was inhabited by a group of vampires and primordial wizards.

The so-called primitive wizards refer to the sorcerers who are fanatical believers in ancient magic, and they believe that the improvement of magic in the modern wizarding world is a desecration of this mysterious power, and an evil to be purified. From this sentence, it can be seen that those primitive wizards are a bunch of guys with abnormal brains.

Phyllis's study of runic magic is a type of ancient magic, and she knows very well how tyrannical and powerful magic was in ancient times, and at the same time, she also understands how unreliable the ancient wizards' understanding of magical power was.

Ancient sorcerers generally believed that strange things such as the toad that had passed through the winter, the absinthe that had been dried for a winter, and the hemp grass that had hallucinogenic properties had magical powers, and as for the way to absorb these magical powers, many times they would choose to mix these things together, boil them, and then drink them.

This is not a good feeling of joy, even if there is no nutrition, most of these strange things have a poisonous effect on the body, so ancient wizards, including these primitive wizards, because of eating indiscriminately to poison themselves are not a few, even if they don't die, they often make themselves look like half-ghosts and half-humans, which looks very evil and terrible.

As for vampires, there are completely different accounts in different book notes.

Some books say that vampires have a perfect face that never grows old, and that when they grow old, they die, and in order to maintain their vitality, they must suck the blood of living beings, preferably wizards.

Also in that book, right next to this description, there is a very poignant note: "He [referring to the author of that book] was clearly deeply influenced by fantasy and wanted to create a compelling story." This point is not to be despised, but there is a point, since it is a creation story, please indicate that it is, not a travelogue. ”

Underneath this spicy annotation is the commentator's own perception of vampires: "The so-called vampires refer to a large, bat-like magical creature that is so large that it is almost as tall as a person, so much so that it is described as some aristocratic creature by false rumors, but in fact it is nothing more than a group of beasts that live by squirming blood." ”

Phyllis wasn't interested in primordial wizards or anything, but she was still curious about vampires, and if she could catch one and dissect it, she might be able to figure out what the structure of these guys' bodies was. You know, there are not many nutrients in the blood, how can these guys survive by sucking blood, Phyllis has never figured out.

When Phyllis arrives in a small town on the edge of the Dark Forest, intending to take a break and go on an adventure, she hears another rumor. It is said that there is a mysterious bar deep in the forest, and the owner of the bar can grant all the wishes of his guests, as long as he can pay a large enough price.

This is indeed an attractive rumor. This gives Phyllis one more reason to explore the Dark Forest, and maybe she can really make her wish come true! It's just that Phyllis's wish is to catch the owner of the bar and study it, and I don't know if the owner of the bar is willing to be her test subject

The Dark Forest lives up to its name, walking through the sparse shrubs and trees at the edge of the woods, and when you actually enter this woodland, the light suddenly dims.

This is not a natural phenomenon, but is influenced by magical powers. Fortunately, the magical power diffused in the forest only obscured part of the light, and would not have any bad effect on the creatures, otherwise Phyllis would not dare to rush in.

Navigating the woods is not an easy task, there are thorns and weeds, and many times there is no road at all, and you need to wade through, and no one knows what you will step on next.

Although the wide magic robes are very much in line with the temperament of a wizard, it is too inconvenient to walk in the woods. To this end, Phyllis changed into a long-sleeved shirt, skinny jeans, and a pair of high-legged women's boots that reached the knee to prevent small bugs from burrowing into her clothes at her ankles.

Traveling in the woods is a great drain on physical strength. After walking for two hours, Phyllis was exhausted and out of breath.

Her physical fitness was really not good, Phyllis found a dead tree trunk that had fallen to the ground and sat down, and sighed in her heart while fanning the wind with her hands. No way, who let her stay in the house for thirteen years, it would be strange if her physical fitness could be good.

In addition to being "dark", the Dark Forest has another characteristic: silence. It's August now, it's summer, and this primeval woodland must be full of insects and birds, but in this woodland, not to say that everything is silent, but it is also extremely rare, and insects and birds often take a long time to hear one or two sounds.

It was in this almost complete silence that Phyllis heard someone talking. But because of the distance, she only heard a few vague words, "Death Eaters", "list", "capture" or something.

Among the scattered words, the word "Death Eater" caught Phyllis's attention. Of course, she knew what the Death Eaters were, so she wondered who was secretly talking to them in such a place.

In the forest, the sound is reflected many times due to the obstruction of the trees, and it is difficult to trace the direction of the sound source by sound. Phyllis could only guess an approximate direction, and then follow the direction. Outcome...... She found the person who was talking to here, but because it was too close, the other party also discovered her as an eavesdropper.

It's kind of embarrassing.

"Miss Kate, Ravenclaw College is really curious, rich in thieves and thieves."

Speaking was a wizard with pale blonde hair, cold gray-blue eyes, and a pale, pointy face, who was Lucius Malfoy, the contemporary patriarch of an ancient, wealthy, and influential pure-blood wizarding family, a typical Slytherin.

Lucius Malfoy's remark just now uses an allusion. Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, once longed to be smarter and more famous than her mother, and stole the Ravenclaw crown of wisdom. He used this allusion to satirize Phyllis for eavesdropping on their conversation.

Phyllis entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a professor of the history of magic and wizardry, and technically she does not belong to any house, but her thirst for knowledge makes her very much in favor of Ravenclaw's ideas. Everyone, including the other professors and students, believed that if Phyllis hadn't been imprisoned at Kate Manor by the Bloodline Protection Charm, she would have been assigned to Ravenclaw House when she entered Hogwarts as a student. The students of Ravenclaw College think the same way, and are proud of it, because Professor Phyllis Kate is a very knowledgeable and intelligent professor.
