Brown Knight and Hugo have been shuttling along the roads in the town, and there are houses with a strong 'rustic atmosphere' all along the way, and the residents are almost everywhere with sewage and sundries in front of and behind the houses, and the overall taste is quite sour, this kind of environment is really a bit difficult for Hugo, who is familiar with the neat and clean community of later generations, but he must also be here, because this time the target John Brown lives in the westernmost part of the town.

As the master and servant crossed the town to the other side, a small stone house that looked good came into view, and this house seemed to be an abandoned orphan wandering outside the other houses of the town, sitting alone on the edge of the town.

Hugo saw this cottage from afar, and for a moment he could even feel some kind of mental activity of its owner, John Bacon, as a descendant of a magical family, must have enjoyed a relatively rich and noble life, but now that he is so down, if there is no distortion and resentment in his heart, then it is called a ghost!

As a former 'superior person' who has to live in such a chaotic and dirty place with a bunch of Squibs and civilians at this time, you can imagine his entanglement and unwillingness to feel, he doesn't want to live here and be ridiculed by that group of civilians, but his own economic ability and Squib identity do not support him to continue to live his previous life, and under this contradictory mood, he has to slowly sell his ancestral belongings, this kind of struggle is really difficult for outsiders.

The outward manifestation of this struggle is the purchase of a house far away from the crowd and not completely out of the crowd, and the feeling of not wanting to lose the affluent life and not wanting to mingle with the common people is haunting this unlucky guy all the time.

And at this time, the unfortunate fellow's house was very unexpectedly surrounded by a lot of people! As Hugo slowly approached, the faces of these people gradually became clear!

Among them are the Pictish mercenaries that Hugo is more familiar with, they wear Norman helmets, broadswords pinned to their waists, and they also have hand axes behind them, carrying a simple version of the tower shield similar to the Romanesque central protrusion, the overall equipment looks a little messy, among which two warriors are also carrying bows and arrows, there are a total of four fully armed soldiers like this, don't underestimate these warriors, an ordinary wizard may not be able to defeat them, and they will be killed directly by throwing axes or bows and arrows.

In addition to these soldiers who have been mercenaries all year round, there are also two soldiers who look much more neat, wearing simple plate armor, they are wearing bright half-covered helmets, and they carry long swords at their waists, they look like they are wearing standard equipment, and they are not far from the confrontation with those chaotic 'wild troops', and the atmosphere on both sides is faintly tense.

In addition to them, there were some wizards in the third and fourth years who were not too busy to see the excitement, they were standing leisurely beside the stone house and pointing at the house, the smile on their faces was very obvious, and they were completely gloating, among them were the two energetic wizards that Hugo and Knight Brown had seen in the big plank, they were huddled together and discussing something hotly, but they did not mean to enter the hut.

Hugo rolled his eyes, let the Brown knight stay where he was, and then approached a group of seniors with a first-year new expression very naturally, wanting to inquire about the current situation, a group of soldiers in front of the stone house made Hugo feel a little strange, like someone's entourage or bodyguard, could it be that there was any big man coming to Bacon's house?

"What are you talking about?" a wizard with blond hair who was a head taller than Hugo asked, looking at Bacon's house, with some curiosity, "Why don't you let us in?"

"That stone house is so big, and there are so many people in it, where is there any place, you don't think there will be space magic in John's broken house, do you?" replied a wizard with freckles on his face standing with him.

"However, there seem to be a lot of people who came to Bacon's house to loot this time, do they have any good things in their house?"

"Precious antiques have almost been bought by various nobles, magic items are cheaper than wizards, I don't know what else he has to buy"

"You two don't know yet? I heard that Bacon is going to buy a family heirloom castle! Otherwise, how could so many people come, and I heard that John's offer is also very expensive! The average buyer can't afford it. ”

The golden-haired wizard was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Isn't his castle haunted? It's not the first time that the task of expelling the resentful spirit on the big wooden board has been put on, I heard that there have been sorcerers who have tried it before, but it seems that they have not been able to come back alive, it is said that the resentful spirit is very powerful, and it is by no means easy to deal with, in this case, he still offers a high price? Do you think that rich people are brain-dead?"

The freckled man spread his hands, pursed his lips and said, "I don't know about this, but just now I saw two very powerful-looking guys go in first, maybe some powerful wizards took over the task to destroy the resentful spirits!"

Hugo stood aside curiously, did not talk, just listened carefully to what they said, it seems that this time John's sale of the castle has made a lot of noise, which makes Hugo a little curious in his heart.

Just when a group of wizards were gossiping, a middle-aged and elderly man dressed very strangely came from a distance, he looked like he was almost fifty years old, you must know that this age is already considered a high life expectancy in this era! Many people died at the age of thirty or forty by natural and man-made disasters!

The old man was holding a long wooden staff in his hand, and Hugo immediately felt unusual magic fluctuations from the wooden staff, looking like a wizard, but unlike most wizards in robes, he was wearing a cloak that seemed to be woven with a lot of black feathers, and he also had a large crown of black feathers on his head, his eyes were a little gloomy, and his pupils were very dark! He glanced coldly at the gathered wizards, not feeling friendly at all, but rather glancing at them with a little disgust, and then walked towards the stone house.

"What! Is it a wild wizard? Why is it that even a wild wizard is not afraid of death and wants to banish the spirits?

Seeing the strange-shaped wizard walking towards the house, a group of young wizards of the academy quarreled one after another, because of the reputation and current situation of the wild wizards, plus the ability of most of the wild wizards is very ordinary, sometimes it is even difficult to deal with a certain number of ordinary warriors, and they are generally self-cherished guys, lack of communication with each other, so the progress is very slow, and the inheritance is easy to break, so most of the time they are ridiculed by the wizards of the academy.

But after hearing the faint ridicule, the wild wizard in front of them suddenly turned his head to look at the little wizards gathered together, and at that moment even Hugo, who had seen the world, trembled, and he felt that the figure of the old man suddenly became taller, and the space around him became dark, as if dark clouds suddenly covered the sun, and the figure of this old man was like a ghost swaggering in the night, and it became extremely terrifying.

The illusion lasted only and disappeared for a moment, but the sensation was enough to make all the little wizards shut their mouths and tremble.

This guy is not simple!
