Chapter 40: The Uninvited Guest

After Benjamin and Nicole finished shopping, they returned home according to the time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was still a sumptuous dinner, and without Delon's cynicism, Benjamin felt that he had eaten well.

My aunt tried to get close to Benjamin again and again, but Benjamin politely refused.

"Benjamin, your family should have a ball this year, what do you think I will wear when the time comes? After all, I don't know much about the aesthetics of the German aristocracy. Auntie watched Benjamin's expression as she drank red wine.

I'm afraid you don't even understand the aesthetics of the English aristocracy.

Benjamin doesn't really alike this kind of relationship exploitation at all, but he doesn't like to be used to hide it.

"I don't know, aunt, you know, I grew up in England. Benjamin pushed the plate and took the scarf off his neck and put it away.

"Well, well, there might be Muggle fireworks at night, if you're interested......"

Benjamin immediately refused, he had no interest in fireworks.

In fact, he would have loved to see Muggle televisions and computers, what a miraculous invention they were, but his aunt apparently didn't have them at home.

There was only a dilapidated radio.

"Hello, this is the official channel of the Ministry of Magic, and I'm the host Lulu. The news to be broadcast today is ......" A gentle female voice came out of the radio.

"Is this your entertainment?" Benjamin misses his days at Hogwarts, at least he can play wizarding chess with his classmates, read books in the library, or study magic in his room.

Nicole listened intently to the news and said, "Don't you think it's boring? I think so too, I mean, I watched TV once, in a Muggle shop. The characters in it, like our photographs, move. I don't understand why the Ministry of Magic doesn't promote television to magical families. ”

Benjamin thought about it and thought that Nicole's question was very good, so why not promote it?

Could it be the fear that some terrible wizard will directly insert their propaganda content?

"Alright, Benjamin, I'm sleepy. You should go to bed early, I will send you back tomorrow morning!" Nicole rubbed her eyes and prepared to go back to bed.

Benjamin was placed in the largest guest room by his aunt, and lived here when he heard that his father had come to marry his mother.

The room was big and very clean, and Benjamin opened the window to see the endless fields.

The countryside at night is always quiet and serene. Benjamin could hear the nightingale's song and the frog's chirping.

If he hadn't seen a, like, a wizard-like guy, Benjamin thought it would have been a good night.

He was dressed in a black robe and a cloak, and his face was completely unreadable from Benjamin's point of view.

However, judging from his stature, he should be a male wizard, and he is tall and burly.

In fact, it is nothing for a wizard to walk in the fields, he can come out for a walk. But when Benjamin saw the man pull out his wand, he felt that something was wrong.

The wand was aimed at the ground, emitting a faint glow, and Benjamin wasn't sure if he heard the scream.

"Nana, it's up to you now, you help me go see what's going on over there. ”

Benjamin took the vampire bat out of his arms, flapped its wings and flew out.

Benjamin had to admit that Nana had gained a lot of weight, and it was flying slower.

Vampire bats are able to hide themselves well in the dark, as long as they don't show their sharp teeth.

Sure enough, the wizard didn't notice Nana's existence.

Benjamin had already pulled out his wand, and the words were in his mouth, and his wand was trembling slightly from the fluctuations of his magic.

Soon, the shaking stopped, and Benjamin's closed eyes reopened, but their pupils turned scarlet.

It was a very old magic, and Benjamin had seen it from the collection of the necromancer who had adopted him.

Through this magic, it is possible to borrow the eyes of other creatures (except humans), as long as they do not repel them.

However, this magic consumes a lot of mana, and it is very damaging to the spirit of the magician, and almost no one will use it.

Benjamin was also using it for the first time tonight, and sweat unconsciously ran down his forehead.

Through Nana's eyes, Benjamin could see the man's movements.

At his feet lay a creature that didn't know how to describe it. The creature looked a lot like some of the magical creatures Benjamin had seen in the library.

After the wizard had solved the creature with his magic, he irritated himself by stirring the dirt and burying the corpse.

After doing all this, the wizard disappeared using the shapeshifter, but thankfully, he didn't notice Nana's existence.

Benjamin was sure he was far away, and tiptoed out of bed.

Hopefully everyone else in the room is already asleep.

Of course, Benjamin was passing by his aunt's room when he heard a scuffle-like sound.

And the wheezing sound of my aunt.

There was a similar sound at the door of DeLong's room, but Benjamin was sure that the deep male voice was definitely not coming from DeLong.

Benjamin pushed the door open without hesitation, and he was now grateful that he was at a relative's house, and that they had no housekeeper to guard the house.

Passing by the garden, Benjamin eventually resisted the temptation and took a few plants that were not very common.

"I'm just taking some randomly, it's not stealing. I think it's transplanting. ”

When Nana saw Benjamin coming, she flapped her wings and flew over, and then circled Benjamin's head.

"Alright, little darling, you can bring me over now. ”

A gust of wind blew, but the moon overhead was covered by dark clouds, revealing only half of its face. Silver moonlight was scattered on the ground.

Benjamin easily pushed away the dirt and found the body.

Because it had just died, it didn't have the smell of decay.

Even the lower half of its body was bleeding.

"It's cruel. Benjamin could barely make out its original form from its appearance, for the entire skin had been peeled off.

"Maybe I should take it home. "Benjamin's fanatical love for corpses is so good that he really can't give up what is in front of him.

Moreover, it is very likely that this is the corpse of a magical creature.

Taking it back to feed Nana is also a good choice, isn't it?

Benjamin began to regret that he had not come out with a bag, so he took off his robe, wrapped the whole body inside, and rushed back to the room in the cold wind.

After putting the body in the backpack, Benjamin went to sleep.

The next morning, when Nicole pushed open Benjamin's room, she found that his lips were purple, his face was pale, and he had fainted.
