Under the bright starlight, Xiwen is taking Helena's hand and walking on the castle's stone bridge.

I have to say that a large part of the reason why Xiwen is not very interested in the little girl Elhiona actually comes from Helena. Shevan's mental age is far more than eleven years old, and the beautiful Helena is undoubtedly more in line with Shevan's aesthetic than the relatively immature Elciona.

And Shevan's strange methods, considerate personality, and exotic handsome face are all novel experiences that Helena has not had in the numb centuries since her death. So although it was never explicitly stated, in just a few days, the two lonely souls got closer and closer.

The moonlight casts a silver veil over the castle, blending with the light emanating from the two men on the stone bridge, like a painting sprinkled by the moonlight. Starlight dotted the deep night sky, lights adorned the far walls of the castle, and the figures of Shewin and Helena reflected in each other's eyes.

"I ......" Helena opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Unfortunately, the sky did not follow people's wishes, and a few uninvited guests suddenly walked over from the iron gate of the corner tower.

"Professor, that's the suspicious ghost I'm talking about." The bloody man Barrow pointed to Xiwen's figure and said gloomily.

Sevin turned his head and saw Barrot the Bloody and his followers, Headmaster Armando Dippert, Headmaster Galadia Meles, and Gryffindor Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

Principal Dippert looked at Xiwen with a serious expression, and Professor Meles had a puzzled expression. As for Dumbledore, he moved his gaze between Shewin and Helena with interest, seeming curious.

"Barrow, what do you want to do?" Helena, who was interrupted, angrily looked at the withered ghost in front of her and asked.

"Trust me, Helena, I'm just making sure all of Hogwarts is safe." Barrow said.

"But......" Helena tried to retort, but was pulled by Shiwen.

"Professors, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiwen had probably guessed at this time that the professors' search for him should have something to do with the destruction of the magic node, and Barrow might just play the role of a fuse.

Speaking of which, an obscure, oriental-faced, and spell-casting ghost is indeed very suspicious.

"Are you Mr. Stephen Strange?" Although the words were very polite, the old face of Principal Dippert was very serious.

Shiwen nodded.

"Come with us, then, there's something you'd like to inquire about Mr. Strange." Principal Dippet said.

"Okay." Xiwen was very calm, after all, he really didn't do anything bad.

Helena glanced at him with some concern, and Xiwen replied with a reassuring look and followed the three professors who were walking in front.

At this time, Dumbledore seemed to remember something, and turned to Helena and said, "Lady Gray is also here, maybe we need your help." ”

Helena breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xiwen's side.

A few people walked through the promenade from the corner tower of the castle to the main tower, which was flanked by a huge stone monster that was extremely ugly. After Principal Duppet gave the command, the monster suddenly came to life and jumped to the side, the wall behind it cracking in half. There was a spiral escalator behind the wall, and after all three professors were standing on it, the spiral escalator suddenly moved, spiraling up with them.

As for the fact that the three ghosts could not touch the real thing, so there was no such thing as taking the escalator, they could only silently follow the escalator to the upper floor......

The spiral escalator came to a halt after bringing the three professors to the eighth floor of the main tower, and a gleaming oak door stood in front of them, above which was a brass knocker in the shape of a sphin-like embogriff.

When you open the knocker, you will find the Headmaster's Office, a large, beautiful circular room filled with mysterious, whispering noises. On the table with slender legs, there are many strange instruments, and there is a faint powerful magic overflowing from them.

The walls of the principal's office are covered with portraits of the old principals, both male and female, all snoring softly in their frames. There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs. On a shelf behind the desk, there was a tattered, crumpled wizard's hat, the Sorting Hat.

Xiwen observes with interest the portraits of the principals on the wall, which are said to have been made by the best artists with powerful magic, and even borrow from the existence of ghosts. These portraits are supposed to still retain a high level of intelligence, or rather, to be endowed with a high level of intelligence, unlike the large number of portraits in the castle.

"You may be seated." Principal Dippert sat down behind the slender leg desk first, and indirectly and competently motioned to the two professors and the three ghosts to take care of themselves.

Professor Dumbledore and Professor Melrance seemed to be familiar with the place, and they each skillfully found their place to sit down.

As for Xiwen, there was no difference between the three ghosts sitting or not, but in order to give the old principal a face, they also found a vacant seat and pretended to sit down.

"Mr. Strange, what are you doing this Tuesday afternoon and evening?" Principal Dippet gets straight to the point.

"In the afternoon, I read with Helena in the library, and in the evening I connected with the members of the Ghost Council with Master Angulo. ”

"Albus, please call me Maester Angullo." Headmaster Dippet gestured to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded, waved his wand, and a glowing silver light flew out of his hand and exited the Headmaster's office through the wall.

Xiwen looked at his spell with some amazement, and silently thought, "It always feels like a Patronus Charm, but can the Patronus Charm still be used to transmit information?" Or am I mistaken? ’

A short time later, Master Angulo floated in through the wall.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Bachelor." The headmaster said to Master Angulo.

Master Angulo smiled and said very considerately, "What's out of the way, the last thing ghosts lack is time. ”

Principal Dippet said, "I'm looking for you now to check the information. ”

"Because some of the facilities in the castle were deliberately damaged last night, the real culprit has not yet been found. Sir Barrow has reported the suspicious Mr. Strange to me, and I need to check that what he has said is correct. He looked at Maester Angullo. Did Mr. Strange join you in contact with the members of the Ghost Council last night? ”

Master Angulo smiled kindly at Xiwen and said, "Exactly. Last night, I ran into Dr. Strange in the entrance courtyard, and because I always respected learned people, I took the initiative to get to know him, and offered to contact the other ghosts together. ”

However, hearing Master Angulo's words, the expressions of the three professors all became solemn.

Because the destroyed mana node is right near the entrance courtyard!
