Chapter 384: I Went to the High Mountain
In the territory of the Jovonovich family, the last thing that is lacking is all sorts of thorns.
Although they are not a castle, they are surrounded by mountains.
"John," said Uncle Alexei, who found John after the banquet.
This uncle was also the one who left the potion for John, and he was not the same as Andrei and Seryosha.
It gives a feeling of youthfulness and wisdom.
"Since you choose to come back here, it also means accepting yourself." Alexei tossed a piece of nut out.
A crow flew down and ate the nut.
Alexei smiled: "You haven't drunk that bottle yet, have you?" ”
"I want to find out," John said without concealment, "about Jovonović, and about the unusual potion." ”
"You're smart and just as cautious." Alexei lamented, "You are like a gift from God to Jovonović." ”
John didn't speak.
He knew that his grandfather's family valued him very much, and this could be seen from his name.
Adani, the name has another meaning, a gift from God.
Until he learned about the peculiarities of this world, John had never thought about the meaning of the name, nor had he paid attention to the peculiarities of his maternal grandfather's family.
But when the bottle of potion and his uncles showed up at home, he discovered that this kind family was hiding secrets connected to the wizarding world.
"At midnight, all the secrets will be revealed in the mountains."
Alexei smiled and rubbed John's head, with some reluctance in his eyes, "If you can, I hope you can accept us, we ......"
His voice was drowned out by the wind in the back, and Alexei made his way to the front hall and joined Watson in pouring wine.
The family has its own brews, and there is a wine cellar hidden underneath the estate.
Watson wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
A few uncles pressed people there, and if it weren't for the grandfather asking them to respect this son-in-law, I am afraid they would have to lie down and go out.
John looked up at the moon and the owl flew in, bringing a letter with him.
Glancing back at his uncles, he took the letter and opened it.
"Grindelwald disappears." He stared at the line of the letter.
After rubbing the letter in the palm of his hand a few times, the flames burned the letter to ashes and dispersed.
He closed his eyes, thoughts flipping through his head.
It's very strange, Grindelwald's appearance.
"Coming for the Holy Grail, but how did he know?"
The doubts in his heart never dissipated, and John's fingers unconsciously rubbed the ring.
Unlike Voldemort, Grindelwald had almost zero knowledge of him.
The only time he had a meeting with Grindelwald was at the Ministry of Magic.
Earlier, he had only seen the existence of Grindelwald on cards about Dumbledore.
That man was an extreme man, and during the Grindelwald period, his followers were all over Europe.
They had to do more than just rule the wizarding world, but they also wanted to break the law of secrecy and put wizards above Muggles.
If Voldemort was a pureblood, then Grindelwald was.
"This man is even more tricky than Voldemort."
This kind of situation of hostility and self-discovery is what John hates the most.
Besides, Grindelwald took Dumbledore's Elder Wand, which was even more tricky.
"The Great War of 1945? Dumbledore defeats Grindelwald. ”
The battle ended with Dumbledore winning and Grindelwald being sent to Newmengard.
After 50 years, it suddenly popped up again.
Pulling his thoughts back on, John remembered the strange feeling he had given him when he met Grindelwald.
"Forget it, Dumbledore will deal with his old friend, and he still needs to find a way to get the Horcruxes in the Order of the Phoenix."
The sky is falling with Dumbledore, judging from the attitude of Grindelwald and Voldemort, the two are not a cooperative relationship, at most they take what they need.
In this way, there is no fear of two Dark Lords appearing at Hogwarts at the same time.
Wait until midnight comes.
John traveled to the mountains, a place where John had been taken to hunt, so there was an influence.
There is a cave in the mountains, which was mysteriously taken by Andrew, but was later discovered and brought back by Mrs. Wick.
Re-entering the mountains, which had previously been invisible, John saw the elements being extraordinarily active.
"Could it be that uncles are also wizards?"
Suppressing the doubts in his mind, John moved on.
With a bear roar, he turned his head to look and saw a large brown bear close to two meters.
"Roaring ——!"
The brown bear stood upright and slapped the trunk of the tree, breaking the small tree.
It spotted John and rushed towards him.
A loud movement shook the birds in the trees. 33
John's expression was calm, and he said lightly, "Stop." ”
The brown bear did not listen, and stood up towards John, and was about to slap the ant to death with both palms.
John raised his eyes slightly, his pupils quickly contracted into vertical pupils, and a coercion swept out, causing the brown bear to freeze.
The coercion belonging to the superior predator made the brown bear's fierce expression disappear, and it whimpered to show begging for mercy.
"This bear ......," John recalled, as he remembered the cubs in the mountains.
looked at the brown bear that fell and exposed its belly, and begged for mercy.
"It's a little spiritual." John walked up and rubbed the brown bear's belly with his hand.
"It feels good in the hand, and if it's fur, it's very comfortable."
He stared at the brown bear, and after making the brown bear cry, he smiled and patted the brown bear's belly, "Let you go." ”
The brown bear hurriedly got up, stuck out his tongue and licked his arm at John's flattery.
After John sent the brown bear away, he moved on.
"Is that thing a test?"
He felt that the appearance of the brown bear was not so simple, and besides, it was still in Jovonovic's territory.
Unless the uncles allow it, these things will not appear nearby.
Heading towards the mountains, John encountered something more.
He saw three bobcats and a wild lion.
The lynx was swift, and the lion jumped as if it were flying.
In the dense grass, cold poisonous snakes have a dangerous color.
Even if the people of this country are fierce, but are these things a little too much?
As he approached the mouth of the cave, a wolf howl rang in John's ears.
It was a silver wolf, stronger than a normal wolf, and its fur glowed silver in the moonlight.
The silver wolf was just looking at John from afar.
John made eye contact with him, and he stepped into the cave.
There is a tunnel in this cave.
The darkness is deep, like a great snake that devours everything, extending into it.
John has night vision and can see strange writing and murals on the walls.
The mural above is strange because of the magical creatures in it.
For example, there are griffins, eagle-headed horses, winged beasts, eight-eyed spiders, werewolves, and banshees......
There are also things that John hasn't seen before.
For example, there are some Vikings who have crossed the oceans, and the sea is full of terrifying creatures.
After some distance has passed, the people on the mural have also changed.
They are no longer Vikings, but dressed in plate armor and leather cloaks, and are called upon by the kingdom to take up their swords and slay the magical creatures that appear in the kingdom.
The kingdom gave away its treasures, which were used to buy things from a wizard-like person.
John also saw a mandrake.
With the help of the wizard's treasure, those people are more comfortable with magical creatures.
Until one day, the wizard didn't want to continue trading with them.
Without the help of the wizard, the group suffered a great loss.
In order to regain similar powers as wizards, they find magicians at a spring.
The wizard who left was not a good stubble, and his attempt to take the king's wife was blocked.
In order to get revenge on the king, the sorcerer allowed the plague to spread in the kingdom.
They traded with the mage and got a potion.
After drinking the potion, it makes them stronger.
It's just that the downside of this power is that it only has a lifespan of a few years.
They hunted down the bad sorcerer for the king, and when they killed him, only one young man survived.
The remaining young men were rewarded by the king.
The young man was given a fief and enough gold to spend for ten lifetimes.
The young man had an extra eye when he was trading with the spring mage, and he didn't drink the potion.
After a long period of research, young people changed the medicine.
And he also became a lord, raising orphans who survived one disaster after another.
When they grew up, they continued to serve the Kingdom.
Until one day.
The kingdom decreed that the tasks of those men were changed.
In addition to hunting magical creatures, they have one more mission.
Get rid of the guys who will hurt the kingdom for the king.
This task is......
John brushed his fingers over the figure with the silver sword on his back.
"Witch hunt."
...
Some people died, but not completely......
