Standing at the place where Ms. Ellebella had been attacked, Zhao looked around. Pen %Fun www.biquge.info along the steep twisting spiral staircase, above which his room was located, but the door was just out of sight from this position. If he crouched down, Zhao Mai's gaze was just enough to see Tolkien's room over the handrail of the stairs. Since the spells cast by the wand are almost unbending, the attacker will certainly not be lower than the level where Tolkien lives.

There are three paintings on this short staircase. A clown strapped to a turntable blindfolded, a knife flying towards him, thumping into the turntable, he would dance and struggle, but he couldn't get out. The second painting shows a huge willow tree, its thick body supporting its lush branches, and its turquoise leaves dragging all the way to the green grass. The third painting is a portrait of an old woman drinking tea against herself, always crying, with a sad expression.

"Excuse me, what did you see when it happened?"

The woman drinking the tea turned her head and removed the handkerchief that wiped away her tears, covering the fresh tea stains on the table. She shook her head and pointed to her throat, indicating that she couldn't speak. But she dipped her finger in the tea and wrote a line on the table. After flipping the mirror, Zhao Mai knew that it was "I didn't see anything." ”

"Didn't you see it, didn't you even see how Lady Ellebella came down?" the woman shook her head, and continued to pour water from the teapot into the teacup, and then cried silently and drank it. She always repeats this action, as it has been and will continue to be.

The clown shouted, "Ah, I heard a bang, I thought there were more knives! But I'm blindfolded, blindfolded! Can you untie me, at least I need to know who keeps throwing knives at me!"

"You didn't hear the mantra?"

"All I heard was a thud, and bones rolling, like balls, solid balls!" The clown spun around and around: "Oh, I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy, but why don't I pass out?"

Zhao Mai then called the reserve grain over to smell it, and there was no fresh and strange smell. Ah Liang wagged his tail, patrolled up and down the steps, and ran up and down the stairs. Soon, it licked Zhao Mai's leg with its tongue, and then pointed it in the direction of the willow painting.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?" Zhao Mai looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this willow tree was strange, and it seemed that there was something hidden under the luxuriant branches and leaves. He leaned closer, and sure enough, the willow tree changed. The pointed green leaves turned into claws, and the slender willow branches swelled into thick vines that wrapped the whole tree around. The once voluptuous willow trunk became rough and twisted, and layers of nodules and small holes secreting blood-like sap piled up on the trunk. Instead of a willow tree, it is a dragon's claw vine and a thorn tree, two of the most dangerous plants in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

After the picture changed, Zhao Mai saw a dark figure jump from between the branches, hide behind the trunk, and run away. The reserve grain let out a "Wangwang" cry, pointing to this black shadow to remind Zhao Mai to pay attention. How does the shadow get into the painting?

Zhao Mai could only touch the canvas when he stretched out his hand, and it was useless to poke it with a magic wand. He leaned close to the canvas and looked at the edge of the painting, barely catching a curving crescent moon in the sky. And now the moon phase outside is the first quarter moon, which means that the time in the picture is different from the outside.

"Can the picture be used to escape?" he felt a little strange. At this time, Reserve Grain put his front paws against the wall, kept scratching, and tilted his head to look at his master. Zhao Mai suddenly realized, and forcefully lifted the painting of the dragon claw vine and thorn, and there was indeed a passage in the back!

Speaking of passages, it looks like it's just a door with a pull tab painted on the wall. Zhao Mai reached out to grab it, but he could only touch the flat wall, but he could hook the raised knocker with his wand. After pulling harder, a narrow pitch-black passage is revealed. This passage is not big, and Zhao Mai's size can only barely squeeze in on his stomach. It seems that the tree landscape painting saw what happened, but it couldn't speak, so it used the method of image transformation to prompt Zhao Mai, saying that the attacker was hiding behind him, and then fled.

"I'm going to chase the murderer, don't worry about me. Zhao Mai said to Tolkien: "You take care of yourself, and you take care of Addo and Dogian. ”

"I want to go too!" said Xiaohua floating in the air.

"Not this time. This passage is not passable, and the reserve food is enough for himself, let alone carrying a flower pot. You're here to protect everyone. It is possible that there was not only one attacker, but what if it was an organized group?"

"Alright then......" Xiaohua has always been unhappy that she can't go on an adventure with her.

After speaking, Zhao Mai used the natural force to transform into a giant python, swam up the wall, and then burrowed into the passage. Reserve Grain stiffened up, then arched his head into the passage and tried to jump in, but tried several times without success. It looked at Tolkien with teary eyes, and the latter held its ass in both hands and finally shoved it into the passage.

The walls of the faculty building were only as thick as a layer of stone, but the passage was quite long, and Zhao Mai crawled for half a mile. Halfway through his crawl, he heard a whimper from behind. It turned out that the reserve grain was already very large, and it kept hunching its body, and it couldn't crawl for a while. Zhao Mai turned back, wrapped his tail around it, and dragged it forward directly. Reserve Grain's four paws stick out from the python's entanglement, tilt his head and lick the snake's skin with his tongue. Because he felt too cold, he sneezed at Zhao Mai.

The exit of the passage is a hollow in a willow tree, facing the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. Zhao Mai put down the grain reserves, sniffed around the cave entrance, raised his paw and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"That person ran inside?" Zhao Mai transformed into a python, and could only hiss. The reserve grain barked twice, which counted as an answer. Sizzle and woo are two completely different animal languages, and it is impossible to communicate at all. Zhao Mai stopped talking nonsense, let the reserve grain run in front, and twisted his body in the back to "swim" to catch up.

The Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts stretches from herb fields and plantations to the end of the horizon. Only a small part of the forest belongs to Hogwarts, and there are easy paths, better than no signage, and several wildlife observation areas in this area. However, with the occurrence of many monster attacks in various places, as well as the accident of the dragon attacking the wizard, most schools have stopped the field animal observation class, and all of them have changed to looking at pictures and written exams. And so for a while no one came in to the Forbidden Forest—except for trick-or-treaters and adventurous fools—and so it was all lonely.

The part of the Forbidden Forest near the campus isn't dangerous, but the deeper you go, the more likely it is to get into trouble. Known dangers include dragon's claw vine and thorn tree, both of which are man-eating plants that are adept at concealing themselves, have great strength, are resistant to magic to some extent, and actively capture food. Other dangers include a variety of poisonous flora and fauna, a primitive centaur colony, pests that cause a variety of deadly magical effects, and a disorienting fog of confusion.

Legend has it that there are even undead haunts here.

Now there is a new danger: Zhao Mai. (To be continued.) )
