Barbara classifies Zhao Mai's caution as stinginess, wrinkling her nose and sulking all the way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"It's here, we've finally arrived at the house of a witch who can't be a swordsman, welcome!"

"the・che" turns off the ruined road and onto a nearby well-built gravel road, not far from a castle estate. The castle is built on a small hill with a steep hill in its back. Two tall castle towers guard the only way up the mountain, and a hand-dug trench is erected over a drawbridge that can be raised. There are no guards in the tower, but there are many sculptures of different shapes, with fangs and claws in terrifying shapes, making Zhao Mai easily think of gargoyles. Maybe when invaded, they will come back to life and tear apart any idiots who dare to attack.

Beyond the tower, one crashes into the gray castle walls, while the owner's dwelling is hidden behind a thick and solid wall, barely revealing a green spire. "Grandpa usually lived there, he was too old, and he was always worried that someone would harm him. It was usually a hassle to get in and out of that castle, and only the house-elves and grandmothers took care of him. He always jokingly said that he couldn't die anyway, and it was okay if he didn't send food. But no one dares to take it seriously. Barbara let the car move eastward, toward a three-story manor house. "Usually we live in the manor, which is more convenient to move around. ”

The gray masonry walls are covered with vines, and the winter snow covers them with a crisp white color. In addition to the road on which the vehicles travel, the surrounding trees, shrubs, meadows and lakes are covered in silver, which looks holy and enchanting. From a distance, Zhao Mai saw servants in black tuxedos and white dresses waiting in front of the gate, and gardeners in khaki overalls carrying vegetables picked from the greenhouse through the snowy grass and heading towards the kitchen. There were more than twenty chimneys throughout the house, half of which were billowing smoke, and it must have been warm and comfortable enough.

"Welcome the third lady home, welcome the arrival of the guests, where is the luggage, please leave it to us, so that it can be moved to the room?"

"Abel, long time no see! I only have a small box, which is a secret thing, please be careful to put it in my room. Barbara winked playfully, "Let me introduce you, this is my Hogwarts classmate Mike Dragonroar and his friend Dogjan, coming to spend Christmas with us!"

"On behalf of the unreturned owners of the hunt, welcome to the Château de Lemay, please come in. ”

"Daddy is hunting again, what about Grandpa? If Grandpa knows, they should be criticized again. Barbara shook her head without holding back, looking like she hated iron but not steel: "How cute those wild animals are, and it's not that there are no special breeders at home, there is no shortage of food, why hunt?"

Abel smiled and said, "The third lady is the best. As far as I know, they don't hunt for the sake of killing, they just go for a walk and discuss something. The house will be lively in the next two days, and the fastest you can come back, and everyone else will be able to gather in these two days. Oh yes, besides Mr. Mack, there's a guest in the manor, brought by your father. ”

"My dad, can he bring back those people he knows?" Barbara glanced at Zhao Mai, and finally showed mercy and didn't continue. "Oh, Mike is here to visit Grandpa, I've already agreed, you can arrange it. ”

"But you know that the old master does not receive visitors. ”

"He saved my life first, and then he knew who I was when he heard my name. And I can't be untrustworthy, can I?" Barbara put the small box into Abel's hand, "I'll leave this matter to you." If you can't, I'll take care of it myself. ”

"No! I'll arrange it. Abel took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "I'll do it, at least I won't burn down the kitchen, so that everyone can eat cold food for more than a week." ”

"Hehe, it's a little bit at that time!" Barbara finished speaking, pulling Zhao Mai's arm: "Let's go, I'll take you to the guest room, you will live there during this time!

Abel watched Barbara dragging Zhao Mai's actions, raised his eyebrows, and hummed a happy little tune to get busy. Anyway, another guest is also going to visit the old host, and it is arranged together, which is actually not troublesome.

Barbara, who returned home, was like a pony with a spring installed, running around excitedly, and after a while, she left Zhao Mai behind and went to the kitchen to steal something to eat. After she left, Zhao Mai sat in the room, closed his eyes and entered the green dream with Xiaohua.

"The manor is better, the castle is full of magic arrays, and the defense is so tight, I didn't dare to go there at all. Xiaohua said to Zhao Mai: "As soon as I get close to there, I feel like I am being targeted by a swarm of locusts. ”

As a tree, being targeted by a swarm of locusts is definitely the most terrifying feeling. "Actually, the manor is also very well defended. In case you didn't notice, every painting on the wall is actually alive, just like Hogwarts. It's just that they pretend not to move, and they just spy on them. Fortunately, the paintings in the guest rooms are just decorations, and if they are for surveillance, it would be ill-intentioned. ”

"I didn't find out, but the servants here are not completely pure humans, their natural force is rather weird, they should be mixed with other creatures, I can't tell what it is, but it's certainly not natural. ”

"Nikolai Flamel is a famous master alchemist, and may have something to do with it. The natural Force atmosphere in this room is even more rigid and uncomfortable than that of Hogwarts. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "You help me take care of it, and I will contact Diana." ”

"Well, don't spend too much time outside. Xiaohua waved her hand, and then saw Zhao Mai disappear from front of her with a whoosh, and walked away in the green dream.

"What is there to take care of? you don't want me to disturb you!" "Little Flower wandered through the green dream, through walls and corridors, until she saw a familiar back.

"Hey, why is he here?" Xiaohua flew over and looked around the front, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as she guessed. Gellert Grandwald was sitting comfortably in a chaise longue with his eyes closed.

It seemed that the green dream caused a little fluctuation in energy, and Grandwalt's eyeballs quivered under his eyelids. With a wave of his hand, a wave of purifying energy filled the room, and Xiaohua was directly expelled from the green dream. She regrouped her body beside the flower pot, and her face was shocked, as if she had seen something quite terrifying. She took a few deep breaths, then re-entered the green dream realm and chased after Zhao Mai.

Grindelwald still had his eyes closed, tilting his head slightly, as if listening to the sounds around him. There was silence that satisfied him. With a hint of a smile, he continued to recuperate his spirits and prepare for the meeting with the alchemist. (To be continued.) )
