Chapter 36: The Second Day
An afternoon passed quickly.
However, the lich seemed to have disappeared, and no matter how much Rossi and Rossi searched, they could not find the slightest clue about each other.
This frustrated Christina, and it wasn't until the two of them found a few barrels of non-smelling Drowlin in the basement of the castle that her mood improved slightly.
"Rosie, I need to go back to Wilson Manor and tell my father what happened here."
Christina's tone was a little worried, "I didn't kill the lich in its infancy, and I don't know how much harm it will cause later." ”
"You go get busy, it's business, don't worry about me."
Rosie nodded and comforted, "But you don't have to worry too much about that lich, in this world, there will always be a powerful wizard who can take care of it." ”
"Hmm!"
Christina smiled, "You're right, even if my father can't handle it, there are other pure-blood families, and Dumbledore!" ”
After making an appointment with Rosie to find Oswell tomorrow, Christina sprinkled a handful of high-grade Floo powder and teleported out of the basement of the abandoned castle.
"Ding, wait until the next day and hear what Oswell has to say......"
Turn off the pop-up message in the system, and Rossi, who can't continue to advance the mission, can only teleport home.
What she didn't notice, however, was that behind the pungent barrels of the drowlin, a metal drawstring slipped through the wall and drooped there.
Back home, after a delicious dinner prepared by Sammy, Rosie made his way to the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace and to the Auror office.
She planned to read it at night and read all the information that Theseus had given her.
"Even if you can't remember it, you have to browse it to get a general impression."
Rosie thought.
……
Early the next morning, Rosie, who had replenished her hunger and energy, made her way to McLum through the fireplace.
After checking the locations of Moria and Stephen (9) on a tracking map, and seeing that they were both in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, she walked out of the north gate of McLuum and walked towards the Muggle village in the north.
Before reaching the entrance of the village, Christina, who saw Rossi coming from a distance, waved her hand happily.
"Rosie, you're here!" She said enthusiastically.
"Good morning, Christina, long waiting."
Rosie, who walked up to him, glanced at the system time, and there were still five minutes before the time they had agreed.
"It's okay, I'm used to waking up early."
Christina smiled and waved her hand, "The air is the freshest in the morning, exercising at this time will help increase the magic power!" ”
Is there such a statement?
Rossi turned the thought around him and asked, "How's the Lich going?" ”
"My father has already arranged for someone to investigate, but there have been some rumors about our family in the wizarding world recently, and the family should be the first to investigate this."
When she said this, Christina's mood seemed to be a little distressed, but then she smiled again, "But it's okay, my father said to send someone to investigate, and then the result will definitely be found." ”
"Rumors? What rumors? ”
Rosie recalled the information about the Wilson family that he had read first last night, and did not think of any information related to the rumors: "It seems that there is no latest information in those materials, huh...... It's really basic! ”
"Just the Elder Wand...... Philosopher's stones and stuff, oops, they're all rumors that don't have a shadow, no matter what! ”
With that, Christina took Rossi's arm and walked briskly in the direction of Oswell's house, "Let's go and hear what Mr. Oswell has to say!" ”
The Elder Wand? Philosopher's Stone?
Rosie suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, but at this time, Christina, who was in high spirits, had already pulled her to the door of Oswell's house, and Rossi could only suppress the question in her heart, waiting for the matter here to be over and ask in detail.
Aggressive!
Christina slammed the ring on the door: "Mr. Oswell, are you awake?" ”
"Come, who, so early in the morning!"
After waiting for about three minutes, Oswell, who was late, opened the door sleepily, "Yo, why are you here so early?" ”
"This is the wine you wanted, and we've brought it to you."
Rosie retrieved a barrel of Drowlin from the system's backpack and placed it on the ground.
"Drowlin wine!!"
Oswell came to his senses in an instant, and couldn't wait to open the seal on the barrel, and the strong aroma of wine instantly overflowed.
"Oh! It's a rare wine! ”
As if afraid that the aroma of the wine would dissipate, he skillfully closed the seal again, then lifted his chin and took a deep breath full of intoxication.
"Mr. Oswell, you have something useful to tell us!"
Christina cupped her chin with her hand, "In order to find this wine, we all encountered the Lich who was undergoing the transformation ritual. ”
"A lich still performing a transformation ritual?"
Oswell's gray eyes glanced at Christina, and smiled nonchalantly, "What's the matter, as the genius eldest lady of the Wilson family, a lich who has not yet been transformed, is not a threat to you." ”
"No, it's not easy, the lich is so special, I couldn't interrupt its transformation."
"Didn't interrupt? It's a little weird, but a newly formed lich isn't anything to you, is it? ”
"That's not the case, the lich is really weird! Not only did he cast 'Ice Crystal Bloom', but he even cast a life-requiring spell on me. ”
"What ?!!!"
Hearing this, Oswell, who was originally nonchalant, suddenly straightened up, "You said that the lich could cast spells just after it was formed?" ”
"yes, that's weird, isn't it?"
"This, this...... How is this possible? ”
Oswell propped the barrel hard, his tone mixed with disbelief.
"yes, I don't think it's possible, but that's the way it is." Christina spread her hands.
Although both of them seemed surprised by the lich's performance, Rosie could clearly sense in Oswell's expression that he was shocked by something else.
"Do you know anything about this strange lich?" Subconsciously, Rossi used the cross-examination technique.
"It could be ......"
Saying that, Oswell suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Rosie with burning eyes, "This young lady, it's not a friendly thing to use mindfulness on others at will. ”
"Mindset?" Rosie looked at Oswell innocently, "What's that?" ”
Although he used his identity skills, it was clearly written on the system, which was called "interrogation", not a mental trick.
"Mr. Oswell, don't change the subject."
Christina glanced at Rosie apologetically, puffed out her chest and stood in front of her, "Rosie didn't touch her wand just now, I don't think she can cast spells silently and without a wand!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Pronounced in his throat, Oswell let out a long sigh, "Well, since Miss Wilson said so, let me think it's my delusion." ”
"Miss Christina, you must be careful when choosing friends." As he spoke, his gaze swept across Rossi's face.
After a pause, his face suddenly showed a little smugness: "Remember your question yesterday, I'll tell you the answer now." ”
