Chapter 322: Nick Town
In eastern Devon, less than three miles from the coastline, there is a vast wilderness plain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thanks to its harsh living conditions, even the most adventurous explorer would not want to come to such a place where birds barely poop. So compared to the prosperity of the southern region, it can be called off the beaten track.
Of course, the above is just the impression of this land in the eyes of ordinary people, in fact, there is a special group in this world, for them, even the worst land in the world, can be turned into the most fertile soil under the action of the mysterious power in their hands.
And the name of this special group is called "wizards" by the world.
Deep in the wilderness of eastern Devon, there is such a gathering place that belongs to wizards.
“…… Well, a lot of people! ”
As soon as he recovered from the vertigo caused by the apparition, Harry Potter was stunned by the sea of people in front of him. Except for Diagon Alley, he had never seen a place where so many wizards could gather like here.
Harry Potter stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes, a look of confusion and surprise on his face. Because what appeared in front of him at this moment was a street that was really very different from the traditional wizarding style.
Different from the strangely shaped buildings on Diagon Alley, every building here, whether it is a shop or a house, is very delicate and regular, so that everyone in it can't help but quietly lower their voice and pace, and raise their manners and postures.
This scene suddenly gave Harry Potter the illusion that this was not a gathering place for wizards, but a cathedral for the clergy, or a banquet hall for the nobles!
But the wizards dressed in various robes who walked through the streets clearly told him that the result was not.
"Professor, where are we?"
He asked the white wizard beside him with great doubts.
Dumbledore didn't answer Harry Potter's doubts immediately, but glanced around with an emotional expression.
"It's been a long time since I've been here......"
The white wizard's tone was filled with embarrassment, and even the young savior could detect it.
"This is Pandalil, one of the three major free wizard settlements in Europe, also known as Nick Town...... We're going to find someone on this trip, and we're going to live here in seclusion now. ”
Thinking about the information revealed from the White Wizard's words, when Harry Potter searched the memories in his mind and made sure that he had really never heard of any of the three wizards' gathering places, he couldn't help but focus on the name that Dumbledore said at the end.
"Nick's Town......" Harry muttered the name with a look of confusion on his face, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Suddenly, Harry's face changed, as if he remembered something.
"Nick Town...... Nick...... Nick Lemay? He looked up and looked at Dumbledore with a look of some surprise, "Professor, who are we looking for...... It can't be Nick Lemay, right? ”
Wise told Harry Potter that it was just a similar name, not necessarily related to the famous European alchemist. But a feeling suddenly surged in his heart, but Harry Potter felt that he should have guessed correctly.
Sure enough, Dumbledore's next words confirmed his suspicions.
After hearing Harry Potter's question, Dumbledore smiled, looking at Harry Potter with a hint of approval in his eyes, but he didn't expect him to be able to react so quickly, and the goal of the trip was linked from the name of the town alone.
"That's right, my old friend, the famous alchemist Nick Lemay, is the target of our trip."
Reaching out and patting the Savior's shoulder, Dumbledore said again in his surprised expression: "As far as I know, except for someone I am very reluctant to contact, I am afraid that only Nick in the world can help solve that 'little trouble' on your forehead." ”
When Harry Potter heard this, he couldn't think about who Dumbledore's words were, "the person I don't want to touch", but he couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar on his forehead that was covered by bangs, and his face showed a palpitating expression.
The intense pain that almost split his entire head in half, even though several days had passed, was still fresh in his mind, and he had nightmares almost every night.
Just like now, as soon as he thinks about it, Harry Potter feels the scar on his forehead ache again. This made him can't help but glance at the white wizard beside him with a mournful gaze.
Noticing Harry Potter's gaze, Dumbledore felt a rare sense of embarrassment and a faint hint of guilt.
"I underestimated Tom...... In some ways, he was far more talented than me, and even all the wizards alive! ”
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh, there is no omnipotent person in the world, even if he is known as the strongest white wizard in the world, he will feel powerless when facing certain areas.
For example - the soul!
As one of the most mysterious and oldest magic systems in the wizarding world, soul magic has always been known for its power, mysteriousness, and horror, and the existence of soul magic is almost the smallest of all magic systems.
But just the few surviving soul magic spells were enough for the Ministry of Magic to include them in the ranks of the most restrictive black magic.
As the strongest white wizard in the world, Dumbledore's name not only represents his style and stance, but also the attributes of the magical system he specializes in.
Dumbledore had not studied the Dark Arts, after all, his greatest reputation was built on fighting two generations of Dark Lords.
The truth of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible in a hundred battles" is a truth that applies everywhere.
But Dumbledore really didn't know much about soul magic, which was the most mysterious and weird even in the dark arts. And among the magic he mastered and mastered, there were two kinds of magic, "Dementor Mind" and "Calling God Guard", which could barely be touched by soul magic, but they were not really soul magic!
The former, similar to the Imperius Charm, falls under the category of psychic magic, while the latter falls under the category of less common psychic magic.
Of course, these types of magic are all divided into ancient times, and in modern society, wizards basically roughly divide magic into two factions: white magic and black magic according to the degree of danger.
