His eyes widened for a long time, but Noah couldn't find anything in the ancient castle in the distance.

He is now a true dragonborn, his physical fitness and correspondence ability in all aspects are far beyond ordinary people, and his eyesight alone can easily see the bottom column of letters on the eyesight chart five hundred meters away.

The castle, though far away, was the central core of the hill town, and there was no reason why it should not be seen if something was really looking at him.

Thinking so, Noah burst out of syllables in a low voice, this time not with a deafening, tearing atmosphere, thunderous roar, but a whisper of energy.

“Laas-Yah-Nir——！！”

The world in his eyes changed in an instant, the environment and structure were directly seen through by him, and all the vitality and supernatural traces were visible in his field of vision, but there was nothing in the direction of the ancient castle.

“……”

“……”

Everyone else was watching him silently at the moment, they all knew how powerful this wizard known as the "Dragon Whisperer" was, and he had mastered the magic of the dragon language, which was a set of language rules that were more powerful than the spells of human wizards.

He was able to take on the form of a dragon, with claws and scales......

He was able to lift the ground in front of him with a roar, pushing away any obstacles......

He was able to purify the weather with the language of dragons, bringing the sky and the climate to his knees......

This one is probably already the most powerful wizard in the world, and it is because of this that Headmaster Dumbledore wants his help, and takes the initiative to unite with the Ministry of Magic, ignoring the protests of the American wizarding community.

After all, the Americans didn't believe in those "nonsense" before, and only thought that the wizarding world in Britain and even the whole of Europe was against them, deliberately shielding the wizards and criminals they wanted, and refused to hand over the murderers or something.

Of course, after those ancient dragons who were more vicious than the other came out, no one had the extra mind and time to waste energy on this.

And it is precisely such a powerful "Dragon Whisperer" who is escorting these warriors that makes people feel at ease about this adventure-

Everyone felt that as long as they didn't touch those ancient dragons who were very mobile except when they were born, but they were usually divine dragons, or those fire dragons who had mutated one after another and started to use dragon roars, there should be no danger.

Although it is not known how Headmaster Dumbledore persuaded this legendary character, this is not a matter of concern to everyone at the moment, they just need to know that the dragon whisperer seems to have discovered something.

This is also an experience that has been tested many times during this time, they have all heard this strange dragon pronunciation, and secretly tried to memorize it, trying to imitate every mysterious syllable.

And many times before, when Noah spit out such a few short whispers, he showed the insight of the magic eyes that was not inferior to Professor Moody's, and even exceeded, many times he could even detect something wrong from a few kilometers away.

The people who can appear here can't be fools, and after a few times, they naturally understand what kind of effect this dragon roar is.

It's not as powerful or shocking as they think, but it's also very practical...... At least not everyone could have magical eyes like Moody's, they needed it.

"What's wrong? Did you find something? ”

No one spoke for a long time, and seeing that Noah was still staring in that direction, Sirius was still a little impatient and asked directly.

“…… Discover something, follow me ......"

Noah couldn't say that he might feel wrong, so embarrassed, so he could only maintain a calm look, looking like he was in his chest. But he didn't see nothing, he did find something.

The wizard walked straight ahead to the nearest farmhouse, then stopped, and then kicked hard.

Click!

The seemingly closed simple wooden door had long since decayed, and instead of kicking it open or kicking the whole door backwards, he kicked it through...... Kicked through the ......

Under the gaze of seven pairs of eyes, he sank into the wooden door with one foot and reached into the house......

“……”

“……”

Noah, who felt that the gaze of the people behind him seemed to become strange all of a sudden, did not look back, but pretended that nothing had happened, pulled out his legs, and then pushed the wooden door hard.

The rotten wooden door suddenly tore apart, and he forced himself to approach the farmhouse.

The others looked at each other outside, and then didn't say anything, just followed in with strange expressions. They were all very wise to say nothing, as if nothing had happened.

Although the scene just now was very joyful, they always suspected that if they and the others laughed out loud, they would definitely be killed by the other party's anger!

The farmhouse was also an old and dilapidated scene, many of which had decayed, barely maintaining their former silhouettes, and it was almost impossible to see what they were used for.

"Look...... The wind in the streets outside was so strong that it had been blowing for more than two centuries, and even if everything had been blown away, only the houses had remained. ”

Noah didn't pay attention to anything else, as soon as he entered the door, he pointed directly to the ground and said to the people who entered the door later.

Everyone looked at each other and saw that there were three clusters on the ground...... Ashes?

Two large clumps, one smaller, lay quietly on the ground, not far apart, like the remnants of something burned out, but not like the work of flames.

And it's hard to determine what these three clumps of ash were fired from, but they appear to be very uniform, leaving no large residue behind.

Everyone expressed their opinions, but Noah was noncommittal and took the others to inspect the other rooms. They found that there were no ashes in some houses, and in some they did, and the quantities were subtle.

Some are a solitary group, some are three, four, five or six regiments, but the number often does not exceed this limit.

"Wait, wait! Isn't that ...... It can't be human, right? ”

In the end, it was Professor Lupin's mind that turned the fastest, and he showed a look of disbelief, staring at the ground with three more ashes, also two large and one small, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

- Doesn't this look like a pair of parents with a child?!

The others didn't react for a while, and some looked at each other for some reason, but soon, the sound of gasping cold air sounded in the air.

"W-What? These are all ...... It's all ...... Person...... Is it that people are burned like this? ”

Fleur stammered in disbelief, her pupils shrinking to the size of a pinpoint.

"We can't know for sure, but it's very likely that the ashes are the embers left behind by the human body...... And it's very, very vicious magic that can be done, not simply the burning of the flames. ”

Noah nodded, calmly giving his opinion.

"The most important thing is that the whole town may have been killed at the same time, they were hiding in their homes at the time of the incident, and no one broke into their homes, but they were all turned into ashes at the same time......"

Professor Moody said in a low voice, both eyes fixed on the ashes on the ground, "Maybe they've all been dead for a long, long time, and the whole town is like that......"

“……”

“……”

Almost all of them suddenly felt a shudder, their scalps tingling for a while, and they felt chills and fear.

Even the Avada Curse, which is known as the first of the three unforgivable curses, is only taking one life at a time! What kind of vicious magic can make the inhabitants of such an ancient town take their lives at the same time?

No wonder something is so wrong here, it seems that the whole town died completely a long time ago, and history stopped at that moment, over time until now......

- How many people died here?

INTERVIEWER What terrible things have happened here?

Harry subconsciously looked around, and suddenly had a strange illusion, as if this old town, which had been empty before, suddenly became crowded, and even the sound of the cold wind blowing seemed to be someone whimpering.

It took a lot of effort for the boy to bring his attention back to the reality in front of him, listening to Moody, but he still felt that the other person's voice seemed to come from a far, far away place—

“…… We have no choice but to turn around and leave, but this is not a good time to investigate, so let's rest here for the night and wait until the sun comes out tomorrow......"

It was a terrible decision, but Harry felt more comfortable with it than to explore this strange town that had been dead for an unknown amount of time than to take advantage of the night.

And he wasn't alone, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The conditions were quite bad, all the houses were rotten, and with the smell of damp and rancid wood, they could only pick a less dilapidated one if they could.

The cold wind poured through the cracks in the wooden walls, and if it weren't for the fact that they were wizards who easily lit the fireplace, the night would have been even more difficult.

Seven men huddled together in a cramped room, surrounded by a fireplace, unexpectedly safe, Harry barely managed to find the least obtrusive floor, curled up, and quickly fell asleep in the warm light of the fire.

The warriors took turns keeping vigil, and the youngest of them naturally wouldn't be the first to be arranged.

Although I was shocked by the strange conditions of an entire town, the dilapidated farmhouses, the clumps of ashes...... All this frightened him, but the physical and mental fatigue had already made the boy tense to the extreme.

So he fell asleep very quickly, and he was dazed and didn't know anything.

After a long time......

Maybe there is no time at all......

Harry suddenly realized that he seemed to be sober.

He didn't know when, but suddenly he changed his curled sleeping position, and instead lay face down, listening to the silence. He sat up, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, and found that his glasses were gone.

But his eyesight was not affected, looking around only to see a bright mist, the surrounding scenery was shrouded in cloud-like steam, he stood up abruptly, subconsciously walked around, and found that as he moved, the surrounding fog quickly dissipated, revealing the scenery behind.

He looked at the bluestone slabs beneath his feet, the winding cobblestone road ahead, the faint outlines of the houses around him, and the castle on the cascading cliffs in the distance, and almost immediately fell into a panic.

The heart was like a crazy bird, pounding violently against his ribs—

Are you dreaming? What's going on with this fog? Why did you appear outside for no apparent reason? Didn't you sleep before?

Suddenly caught in such a strange situation, Harry was completely panicked, he didn't bother to think about anything, he subconsciously turned around and ran back, wanting to rush back to the previous room, back to the group of his companions.

He scurried through the fog in a panic, only to find that he couldn't tell where the original house was.

Fear came over him, and he felt his heart pounding violently in his chest, and his fingers trembling slightly, but he struggled to control it.

At this moment, a sound came to his ears from the surrounding mist, as if some strange crash and whimper came from the nearby mist......

Harry stood still, feeling waves of chill run through his skin. He wanted to shout around, he wanted Sirius to know he was here, he wanted Lupin to know that he was here, he wanted to be dragged back, to be taken to safety......

He gasped for breath, turned slowly, and saw a figure stumbling out of the mist.

It was a pale-faced man, and when the other party saw Harry, he was slightly stunned, as if he was even more shocked than the latter-

"Who are you? How did it end up here? ”
