Chapter 174: The Shadow of the Castle
With a little curiosity, Norin casually picked up a discarded iron rod on the ground, dusted it off, and reached into the belly of Kemeramon's corpse to rummage.
It didn't take long for him to dig out something delicate from the corpse's belly.
It was a crown set with a turquoise gemstone engraved with a phrase written in a language Norlin could not understand.
The crown was in the belly of the Kemera beast, but it was not stained with any filth, it was clean and clean.
To be on the safe side, Norlin still used a spring of water to clean the crown, and then held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Durmstrang's castle, the old man watched Norlin's every move in the glass ball, his eyes glazed over. After a while, he sighed slowly and whispered to himself:
"If you saved my granddaughter and have the strength to defeat Mykra on your own, then this thing will be for you......"
He removed the orb and looked at it again.
After looking at it for a long time, Norin couldn't find anything strange about this crown, and after thinking about it, he put it in his pocket, turned and walked out of the room.
As for the corpse of the Kemera beast, let it lie there. Norlin was curious to see how its owner would react when he saw its corpse.
Norin casually closed the door of the secret room, and when he walked out of the storage room, he was slightly stunned.
When he came, he didn't feel anything unusual, but when he saw the half-hidden door of the storage room when he left, Norin felt that something was wrong.
Norlin pressed the anomaly in his heart, he was unfamiliar with Durmstrang when he first arrived, and he couldn't find out the truth.
Before returning to the dormitory, he also went to visit the school hospital.
Norin didn't expect to go to the school hospital the day after he first arrived, but in the process of fighting Kemera, his body inevitably cut a few cuts in the aftermath of the battle, and blood seeped out of the hospital robe.
Durmstrang's school hospital is a low-rise glass house in a raised flower house on the edge of Greenhouse 9. From a distance, the entire hospital is in the shape of a dome bubble, like a bulging bubble hanging on the side of Greenhouse 9.
The hospital has plenty of space and many beds, which can accommodate 26 students for clinical treatment at the same time. Although Durmstrang itself is located in an unsatisfactory location, and the weather is always cloudy and sunny, the university hospital maintains plenty of light 365 days a year. Whether it is twilight or the rising sun, it will be lit up with a devastating and gentle light, like an inextinguishable lamp, releasing a bright light through the crystal clear glass wall.
The school doctor is a short and fat old man named Ford, and Norlin doesn't know if Ford is his last name or first name, and the teachers and students at the school call him that, and no one seems to care about the correct answer.
Fortunately, he didn't care, he looked like a smiling and optimistic person all day long, probably because of his easy-going attitude with the world, he always won the list of the most popular faculty and staff in Durmstrang in the past.
"Is there anything you need help with, strange little gentleman?"
Walking through the bed-filled ward, you can see Mr. Ford standing in front of a white cabinet full of various potions. He asked Norin with a smile.
Several students were lying in hospital beds, much to Norin's surprise. He didn't expect that there would be someone other than him who would be injured and hospitalized on the second day of school.
"Sir, I need some potions that work well for trauma."
Norlin lifted his robe and showed him the wounds of varying shades on his body. Mr. Ford's round eyes flickered suddenly, as if surprised. After about half a minute of his gaze, a trace of sharpness flashed in his usually quiet eyes, and it was fleeting.
"Just trauma potion?"
"Try this."
Mr. Ford reached out and took a palm-sized porcelain vase from the top of the cabinet, moved his fat legs, walked slowly to Norin, and said as he handed it over,
"It's a new medicine for wounds, and I think it's working pretty well. Mainly for all kinds of foreign object scratches and ...... Animal injury. ”
Norin raised his eyebrows, accepted it without changing his face, and thanked him.
A reassuring smile spread across Mr. Ford's round face, "Young people should protect themselves, learning is your mission, and it is also your duty to keep yourself healthy." ”
Norin nodded silently. He still understands the truth of saying more and making more mistakes, especially when facing an old doctor with vicious eyes, he should pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Mr. Ford seemed pleased with his co-operation, and lovingly suggested:
"It's getting late, go back and rest, your injuries haven't reached the point of hospitalization."
Norlin thanked him again, slipped the medicine bottle into his robe pocket, and went downstairs to leave the school hospital.
On the way back to the dormitory, Norlin turned into the boys' bathroom and smeared some medicine on the wound. The wounds inflicted by Kemera were a bit weird, otherwise Norin wouldn't have come to the school hospital.
The bottle has a faint scent of Milanese flowers, but a closer sniff reveals that the scent is meant to mask the stronger smell of mint and non-mint in the back.
Norlin sniffed it a few times, and suddenly became interested in analyzing the composition of the bottle of wound medicine.
On the way back to the East Tower, Norlin couldn't help but guess the identity of the owner of the Kemera beast. The one who can keep such a ferocious beast in the castle must be a high-ranking figure.
However, Norlin didn't know any of the school's top leaders, and the only intersecting principal, Karkaroff, almost got into a fight on the first day of his arrival, and it was obviously unrealistic to ask him for help.
If the Kemera was deliberately in that room, I didn't offend anyone in Durmstrang......
Norin thought about it in a daze, and suddenly felt a chill in his body, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end. There seemed to be a dark wind passing by him.
His eyes suddenly sharpened, and when he looked up, there seemed to be a shadow fluttering rapidly in front of him.
At night, the castle was pitch black, and the wind outside blew through the corridors of the castle, letting out a low whimper. The moonlight poured down from the high window, and it fell to the ground one by one.
The shadows cast on the ground by the stone carvings in the heights appear inexplicably distorted, giving people a very grotesque feeling.
Norin's eyes narrowed slightly, and just now he felt as if an illusory figure was running by in the moonlight.
Norin chased the vanishing ghost, but when he reached the corner at the end of the hallway, he saw the phantom turn around and face Nolin.
Norin couldn't see its expression, but he vaguely felt that its face was half smiling, half grim like a demon.
"Who's there!"
Norlin asked aloud. However, the moment he spoke, the phantom suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"Are you ...... Say me? ”
A boy walked out.
