Chapter 15: The Dark Wizard in the Cauldron

Hagrid used Floo Powder, a prop that can be teleported, and Lin Congrong and Xue Jiazhu returned to the Cauldron Bar from Hogwarts in an instant with an extremely depressed mood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Since Floo Powder has the function of transporting people from fireplace to fireplace, the two inexperienced duo are fascinated by the soot when they feel the world spin around.

"Ouch!"

"Phew! Bah! Bah! Everything, all flew into my mouth! ”

At the same time, a low laugh rang in the ears of the two.

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's funny, it's been four or five years since I've seen anyone eat so much soot, last ...... It's in Bolivia, that Indian fool wizard, when he used Floo powder, he mixed it with the fluff of a tricolor cat, and it ended up being a mess even in his underwear, and his ridiculous face at that time was not inferior to you two children. ”

"Who? Who's talking? Lin Congrong and Xue Jiazhu still couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and the two rubbed their eyes desperately.

β€œlimpia-da-lavi!” As the strange spell sounded, the two of them instantly felt the rough discomfort in their eyes swept away, and their faces stained with soot were also refreshed, only to find that there was a middle-aged wizard with sharp cheeks and a hawk nose and brown skin and black hair standing in front of them.

The dark eyes in his sunken eye sockets were as unpredictable as a deep pool, and he looked at Lin Xue and the others, and then spoke again: "Children, you are Hogwarts students. Tsk tsk, the level of the students taught by Hogwarts is getting worse and worse, and even Floo powder can't be used well. ”

"Who said we're not Hogwarts students." Lin Congrong and Xue Jiazhu glanced at each other, and then both shrugged their shoulders and replied. Just kidding, if the students of Hogwarts were fine, they could just wander around the school in the open, and after finding Thestrals, they would collect dust without knowing it, and they wouldn't have to say hello to Hagrid.

"Oh? But you do have the smell of Hogwarts, and the smell of someone I know well......"

"That's because the place we just came out of was Hogwarts, and we're not really Hogwarts students." Lin Congrong started and explained casually.

"Not a student, so how did you get to Hogwarts?"

didn't find out the details of this wizard, Lin Congrong just saw that he had cast a cleaning spell just now, which was a small favor for the two of them, and roughly explained the whole thing to him, but after the lesson he had just learned from Hagrid, Lin Congrong did not say that his purpose was to be for Thestrals.

But what made Lin Congrong feel bright was that although he didn't mention Thestrals, he didn't expect the key words to pop out of the wizard's mouth: "Little friend, for creatures like Thestrals...... How much do you know? ”

"Thestrals? What is that? ”

Listening to Xue Jiazhu's words that suddenly appeared next to him, Lin Congrong's expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart still moved, he didn't expect this kid to pretend to be stupid and no worse than people.

That's right, after the lesson he received from Hagrid just now, neither Lin Congrong nor Xue Jiazhu dared to mention the topic of Thestrals with anyone anymore, so Xue Jiazhu, who had always been honest, also pretended to be stupid at this time.

"Hehehe...... Thestrals are a very useful magical creature. Looking at Lin Xue's bewilderment, or rather the apparent bewilderment, the wizard smiled with satisfaction.

And the next conversation made Lin Xue and the others even more happy, and the secret path was really lucky.

"I have a favor, I wonder if the two children can help me?"

"What's the busy?"

"I'm going to get close to a Thestrals, and that's where I need your help......"

……

Elgon Mountains, England.

After meeting the unknown wizard at the Leaky Cauldron Bar yesterday, the words that came out of his mouth made Lin Xue and the others, who were already depressed, see the dawn of hope again.

He called himself Heran Soodore, a friend of Hagrid's, and he knew that in the Elgon Mountains of England lived a Thestrals, and he needed to get close to them and get something.

The aura of Hogwarts and Hagrid carried by Lin Xue and the others can make this Thestrals feel intimate, just because it was originally raised by Hagrid in the Hogwarts school and used to tow the carriage, but later as it grew older, it slowly grew old, and it was no longer able to work for Hogwarts, so it was released by Hagrid back to the most authentic home of nature.

So what Herlan Sudore wanted Lin Xue and the others to do was to act with him to increase the chances of approaching this Thestrals.

"If you are willing to help me, I will cast a spell that will keep the breath of Hogwarts and Hagrid in you for days without dissipating for a short time. And after success, I will also give the two children some rewards that you are satisfied with. ”

At that time, listening to Herlan Sudore's words, Lin Xue and the others almost lost their joy, although no matter how credible his self-introduction was, everyone's goal was the same, that is, to get close to Thestrals.

If this person hadn't appeared, Lin Xue and the others wouldn't have known how to approach or even find the second Thestrals. So neither of them used their ID cards to communicate, they just glanced at each other and unanimously agreed to his request.

Now, with the help of Floo Powder and magic, the trio have made a basic plan in one day, and they have quickly crossed half of England, from London to the Elgon Mountains.

A damp and thick fog haunted the night sky, making the already unclear moon even hazy. In the black forest, a cold wind blew, shaking the branches and leaves of the trees, making a rattling sound. From time to time, wild beasts scurried through the night, and their terrible howls rose up into the silence of the night.

In the middle of such a deep mountain, there is a rare trace of human beings, that is, three men who are now sitting around a roaring fire, roasting rabbit meat.

"Lure it with barbecue, and it will come?" Lin Congrong asked the middle-aged wizard beside him suspiciously: Heran Sudore.

Heran Sudore took his eyes off the squeaky golden roast meat next to the fire, looked at Lin Congrong, smiled and nodded: "Yes, ordinary magical creatures will not dare to approach because they are afraid of flames, but this Thestrals have been raised by humans, so the bright flames and fragrant roast meat are a kind of kind temptation for it that has not been seen for a long time." ”

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Xue Jiazhu pushed Lin Congrong.

The three of them looked at the five meters in front of them, the land that had been silent a moment ago was now breathed of life.

A sturdy horse with a streamlined body curve quietly appeared out of nowhere, from its four hooves, body, to the head, it was a pure black, if there was no reflection of the fire, Lin Congrong believed that even if it stood in front of him, he would not be able to discover its existence in the dark night.

It had slender and powerful wings on its two sides, and it was now quietly retracted, and if it weren't for the mane on its head that had grown to its back, Lin Congrong really wondered if this beautiful and strong Thestrals had entered the end of its old age, as Heran Soodore said.

"Hello, Vikasem." Heran Sudolei muttered softly, and then patted Lin Xue and the others on the shoulder, "Come, the three of us walk over side by side." ”

What was incommensurate with Heran Sudore's calm tone was his movements, Lin Congrong only felt a black shadow flash in front of him, and then realized that the barbecue that was originally by the fire had already reached Heran Sudore's hands. The speed and agility of his movements are not like the calm wizard of a moment ago.

The Thestrals, named Vikasem, tilted his head, and of the three humans slowly approaching him, two of them had an aura of familiarity on them, and the other one had a familiar steaming delicacy in his hands. All kinds of factors made it relax its guard and quietly observe the movements of the three people in front of it.

When the intimate breath evoked his memories and the fragrant barbecue was delivered to his mouth, Vikasim did not hesitate any longer, lowered his head directly, and ate the crispy and fatty barbecue meat in one bite, and its wings began to unconsciously spread out and fan lightly due to the force of its body.

The three people standing on the side waited for this opportunity, and suddenly, Heran Sudore conjured up a crystal bottle, and Lin Xue and the others took out the glass bottle that the shopkeeper had given them when he issued the task.

Although the bottles in their hands were inconsistent, the appearance of the three of them at the moment was extremely consistent, and they were all half-squatting on the ground, concentrating on collecting the "withered dust" that fell when Thestrals flapped their wings.

Withered dust is a white, crystalline substance that floats in the air like fireflies, which is very beautiful, but extremely difficult to collect.

Because its form can only last for three seconds, it will dissipate into the air after three seconds, and when the Thestrals' wings wave, it can bring a faint breeze on its own, so the withered dust sprinkled also flutters up and down irregularly. Lin Congrong spent a lot of effort, but what he collected was only just spread all over the bottom of the bottle, looking at Xue Jiazhu, he was almost the same as himself, but Heran Sudolei had already collected most of the bottles.

Lin Congrong was about to ask Heran Sudolei about the collection method of Thestrals, but the voice over there had already sounded gloomily: "Didn't you say before that you didn't know what Thestrals were?" But what are you doing now? ”

Sensing that Herlan Sudore's tone was wrong, Lin Congrong frowned, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, we did hide some facts before, and the reason why we didn't tell you that we knew about Thestrals was because we had touched the wall at Hagrid's once, so we ......."

"Hehe, it's okay, now your mission is complete, so ...... You're going to be the first test in my hands! ”

Hearing the sudden cruelty in Heran Sudore's tone, Lin Congrong's heart was suddenly shocked, and almost at the same moment, Heran Sudolei had already taken out his wand, and the head of the wand flashed with a terrifying green light.

"What people!"

Just as Heran Sudore was about to make a move, there was a sudden loud cry from the dark forest, and suddenly countless birds that had been disturbed by their sleep screamed and flapped their wings and flew into the sky, and all kinds of wild beasts also howled violently, and at this moment, the silent mountain forest became crazy in an instant.
