Chapter 148: The Abandoned Church

On the road to the town of Corwin, a dilapidated carriage came out of the direction of the town first, pulling the cart by an old horse, driven by a somewhat old-looking house-elf, followed by this down-and-out carriage is a beautifully shaped two-wheeled carriage, which looks small, but because only the merchant Franklin sits in it, it is still very spacious, driven by a mercenary, and after this carriage is closely followed by a carriage loaded with other mercenaries, and then Hugo's carriage, at this time this originally bright carriage has become obscure under the disguise of magicThe Hogwarts logo on the door is gone, and it looks a little better than Bacon's carriage.

Hugo sat in the carriage, looking at the two slowly retreating rural landscapes, they would soon leave the relatively gentle area, first to the north, and then to the east, the distance of a day could not go far in this era, so it was not far from the White Wizards' gathering place and Hogwarts, and the dark wizards rarely appeared around, which meant that the Bacon family's castle still had a certain guarantee of safety, which was also the most important point for Hugo.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses' hooves came from the back of the carriage, and Hugo turned his head slightly to see Knight Leo and two guards passing by them like the wind, and then two exorcists who were also on horseback, who calmly followed behind Knight Leo, and bowed slightly as they passed Hugo.

The most exaggerated wild wizard crow, quietly riding on a horse, followed the back of the team unhurriedly, looking unwilling to hand over his back to others.

In fact, the route this time is almost around the west side of the Black Lake to the north of the Black Lake, which echoes Hogwarts, which means that the Bacon family's castle is located on the north shore of the Black Lake, but due to the distance, it is usually not visible from Hogwarts.

The convoy soon entered a snow-white world, and if it was summer, travelers could also see the broom heather all over the mountains, this small purple flower is the origin of the name Purple Highland, but now in addition to the snow, only bare trees stand on the earth, although the scenery is monotonous, but it gives people a sense of grandeur and sacredness.

Hugo was lying in the wide carriage, with his hands behind his head, staring at the roof of the carriage, this black carriage was the reward that His Excellency Ravenclaw had selected from his collection to give Hugo for the sake of Hugo saving her daughter Helena, Hugo was no stranger to this kind of carriage, he came to ride this kind of enchanted carriage, at this time this black carriage was more spacious than the one Hugo sat in, and after the magic, basically did not feel the bumps, this is very important, to know that the medieval carriage did not have a shock absorption system, and the road was not smoothA horse-drawn carriage ride is definitely an experience that can make people want to die.

Why going out in ancient times is a very fatal experience for ordinary people, one of the most important points is that the means of transportation are too uncomfortable, even if a healthy person has a long distance of bumpy down, it will fall apart, not to mention those old, weak, sick and disabled, so most people will choose to die in the countryside.

When it was time to drive to the middle of the day, the carriage slowly stopped, there was no need for their convoy to rush to the road, and it was not to be chased and killed, so they still had to stop the car at noon to eat, of course, even if it was to eat, it was just a simple deal with some dry food, there was no need for fanfare, after the meal they went on the road again, and they would not stop again until they arrived at their destination.

The scenery outside the car window changed from stunning at the beginning to slowly boring, from the open snow-white plains to the ravine-crisscrossed hills, lonely bare trees appeared in the distance, and rows of hanged corpses floated on the branches, most of these corpses were local civilians or serfs, they were hung on the trees by the Vikings who had wandered here for crows to eat and amuse, and when the orange-red afterglow of the sun shone through the gaps between the corpses, the speed of the convoy slowly slowed down, which may indicate that they were not far from the destination of the trip。

Hugo felt that the motorcade was starting to slow down and stop, he stretched his waist, pushed the door open, surveyed his surroundings, and then, without waiting for the Brown knight to come, jumped off the carriage, did a few stretches in succession, let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at the dark building in front of him.

。。。 This is a dilapidated church, from the current ruins can still be vaguely seen its former glory, but from the smoky wall is not difficult to see what it has experienced, most of it was robbed by Vikings and then burned to the ground, it is conceivable that this church should be the spiritual pillar of the surrounding villages, but unfortunately the monks inside should be as difficult to escape the fate as the villagers who were hung from the trees, or it is very likely that the hanged ghost on the tree is the monk, those Viking pirates do not have the slightest fear of God。

Strange! I don't see a castle here? Why stop here? Hugo and the Brown knight walked with him to John Bacon, who was standing beside the dilapidated carriage.

At this time, not only Hugo was puzzled, but the others also frowned, and they all looked at the squib who was sorting out his clothes.

"Mr. Bacon, I wonder why we stopped here?" said Franklin, the merchant, as he walked up to John's side, rubbing his wide ass in pain.

John raised his head to look at the sun, who was struggling to leave the world stage, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, everyone, this is not far from Bacon's castle, the reason why we stop here is because this is the closest place to the castle to rest, we will camp here tonight, and we can arrive at the castle tomorrow morning, if you have to hurry now, do you want to spend the night in the castle with resentful spirits?"

When they heard John say this, they couldn't help but think that on a dark and windy night, they had come to a haunted castle, and that they were going to spend the night in such a castle, and they all trembled and swallowed the words that came to their mouths.

Franklin shook his cheeks and walked away without a word.

The door of the church has long been burned down, and the inside is also in tatters, everyone walked in one after another, and the mercenaries and soldiers simply cleaned up the place in the middle of the church, and then collected some usable wood from all around, and lit a few bonfires on the spot, and simply grilled food is also a very important part of the field.

The merchant and his mercenaries sat together, Knight Leo sat with his soldiers and two exorcists, while the rest of Hugo, Knight Brown, the wizard Raven, and John Bacon sat with her house-elves, three bonfires flickering on and off, and the cold winter wind sneaking in through the cracks in all directions, making people involuntarily get close to the bonfire.

Hugo leaned his hands against the flame to keep warm, and looked carefully at John, who was sitting next to him, the red light of the flame on John's face was cloudy, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
