Chapter 454: Tavern

"If I'm lucky," Sirius said, "if it's as powerful as you say, I don't think it's a blessing. ”

"I'm just a metaphor, you know, it's something that even Dumbledore can't handle. Van Lin said that he didn't use a staff in his battle with Sirius.

In fact, the staff's enhancement of the power of Van Lin's spell was far beyond Van Lin's imagination.

"This is really bad, why did I get involved in this kind of thing?"

"Believe me, I've been asking myself for the past two years. Fan Lin shook his shoulder, he looked very helpless.

"Are you scared?"

"No, I'm just feeling a little troublesome. Van Lin said, waving his hand to wipe out all the effects of his magic around him.

"I want to ask you, are you scared?"

"You're kidding me," Sirius said, "and I resisted even the Dementor Kiss." ”

"If it weren't for Harry's Patronus Charm, I think your soul would have been taken by the Dementors. Van Lin sarcastically said.

"It was just an accident, and you should know how bad I was at the time. Sirius said, waving his wand, "If it's now, my Patronus ......"

"Professor Snape says you're a husky all the time. Van Lin said thoughtlessly.

"What's that?"

"A type of sled dog. Van Lin said.

"Why do you think so, my Patronus is the same as my Animagus. Sirius said that he didn't mind describing him as such a mighty dog.

"Speaking of which......" Van Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, "My Patronus ......"

"By the way, what has changed your Animagus, it has never been ......"

"It's just a person's bad taste. Van Lin said that he felt a little bad, and his mind was very confused, which was something that had never happened before.

"Do you want to continue," Sirius said, "but with your current level of spell casting, you'll be able to earn an Auror credential." ”

"I'm not an adult yet. "It's impossible, what I should be thinking about now is my ordinary wizard level exam." ”

"Forget it," Sirius seemed to hear some kind of joke, "you and Hermione, you two can pass it now, and I don't think the Ministry of Magic will let an alchemist stay on campus because of the ordinary wizard level exam." ”

Van Lin suddenly became a little irritable, he didn't know where this emotion came from, he rarely did.

"Let's go, Sirius, I think we should go and get some rest. Fanlin said, and he turned his head and walked into the room.

Sirius also looked indifferent, and he didn't have a problem with Van Lin's proposal.

In fact, Sirius's training for Van Lin has been going very well, and it can be said that considering Van Lin with the requirements of the Aurors is not that difficult for Van Lin.

Aside from some detection issues, Sirius thought that Van Lin was very good at combat, and that he was even better at silent spellcasting and wandless spellcasting than the average Auror.

Of course, this is also due to some of the Vanlin spells, and what he is good at is some benchmark spells plus his own modified spells, so no one knows the spells he uses better than him.

"You wait for me. Sirius said, and he chased after him.

Fan Lin walked very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and he came down from the top floor.

This is the Centaur Tavern, which is located in the south-east direction of Athens' Small World. It's not a very prosperous area, with a sacrificial shrine in the center, a residential area in the north, and a commercial center in the south.

It seems easy to understand this description, and it can be said that this tavern is rarely visited by people except travelers, except for some of the surrounding residents.

Like a cauldron bar, it's like a post house with all the questions you need about life.

The most satisfying thing about Van Lin is that there is a large open space on the top floor of the tavern, which can be said to be a natural place of connection.

Sirius didn't hesitate, he just rented the entire rooftop. With Dumbledore's magic, they could practice unscrupulously without worrying about what their spells would break.

They should probably have taken care that the owner of the bar was asking for a gold coin, and they had added an extra solid place for the bar to practice magic.

However, given the circumstances here, this idea does not seem so realistic.

Like all taverns, it housed all sorts of sorcerers who came to Athens to make their fortunes.

As for wizards, as long as you don't touch the faith of the Athenians, they don't care what type of wizard you are, for example, Van Lin met a brother from Africa here, who studied soul magic, if this is in England, with a beast bone necklace and a skull scepter, this is definitely the object of the Aurors' tracking, he can't even enter Diagon Alley.

It can be said that Athens has largely retained its original sorcerer appearance, a hundred years of isolation, which sounds terrifying.

Van Lin walked down the stairs quickly, the earthy yellow stairs splashed a circle of dust, in fact, such a tavern, few people will come to clean it, which makes Van Lin feel that I am a little dirty here.

Van Lin suddenly remembered the Leaky Cauldron, at least where the wooden staircase was, and there was someone in charge of the sanitation of the place, even though the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron was very dirty.

"Boss, bring me a glass of lemonade, and then, give him a ......"

"Get me a lemonade too. Sirius was quick to say that he didn't want to try the wine at all, the unimaginable taste.

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Van Lin nodded, Dumbledore had been evaporating from the world for a whole week, which made Van Lin feel very irritated.

"You should be patient. Sirius said, pushing the lemonade into Van Lin's hand, "Add two ice cubes." ”

Van Lin nodded, and with a casual wipe of his hand, a few ice cubes fell into the glass.

"I've been patient, but Dumbledore asked me to come over, but he didn't let me get involved. ”

"Then he must have his reasons. Sirius said, taking a soft sip of lemonade, the cold sensation making him feel better.

"He always has a reason. Van Lin said, looking at the door of the bar, where a layer of black paint had been glued to the dilapidated door panel.

It's just a matter of cleansing, but no one cares about the details.

The bars are at their busiest at dusk.

After a while, the people who had come to stay came in from the outside, most of them were Greeks from the neighborhood, and of course some travelers, which was easy to distinguish, because they all looked like dusty people, and there was even a layer of sand on their clothes.

"What are they doing here?" asked Van Lin.

This small world of Athens was undoubtedly very closed, and Van Lin couldn't understand why so many wizards came.

"This is the gathering place of Athenian wizards, and it is a place for everyone who wants to make a living in Athens or even Greece. ”

"However, there are quite a few people who come. Sirius said that in a short time several foreign wizards had moved in, some of whom made him feel very uncomfortable.

"It's wandering wizards," Sirius said, "and there are a few of them who are well versed in the dark arts. ”

"There's nothing in the dark arts. Van Lin said, looking out the window, and he saw a group of men in white robes passing by the window edge of the bar.

"The owner...... Boss ......" Van Lin called.

"Hello, little sir, what's the matter with you?" Hearing the call, the owner of the bar walked over from the other side of the bar.

"You know who those people in white robes are just now, how come you have never seen them before. Van Lin asked, he had almost walked around the place in seven days, but he had never seen it......

"Those are God-worshippers. ”

"God-worshippers?"

"That is, the clergy, they serve the temple of Athena, but the priests never ask for anything, so most of the time, they stay in other places, and they don't dress like this. The owner of the bar laughed.

"They should be dealing with some questions about this small world, after all, the wizards of Athens can't leave, which makes some people very anxious. ”

"Anxious?" asked Van Lin, "but I see that you are not unwell at all, boss. ”

"I've lived here since I was a kid, and I couldn't think of any places to go, and that's how happy I am. Of course, these words don't apply to everyone. ”

The boss said, and after a while, other wizards called out to the boss.

"He doesn't feel bored, he's been all over here, and I don't think I'll be able to stay here for a whole hundred years. Sirius said, picking up the cup and taking a sip of the lemonade.

"It's their way of life. "It's like the house-elves at Hogwarts, who have never lived in Hogwarts, and they've never left. Van Lin said.

"It's bad enough. Sirius said that as a pure-blood wizard, he didn't see anything wrong with that.

"Looks like Dumbledore and they've made some progress, otherwise the priesthood wouldn't have summoned these worshippers. Van Lin said, "How about we go over and have a look?"

"Dumbledore said you should stay here honestly, if anything goes wrong......"

Sirius hadn't finished his sentence when the sky in the small Greek world suddenly darkened.
