Just then, the door to the tavern was pushed open.

A man came from outside.

A man who can make a man drool.

He has a beard, big long hair, bulging muscles, eight-pack abs, and a broad chest.

Oh! Oh my god - that vest line - it's so sexy.

The right hand has a large flower arm, and some kind of runi script is vividly tattooed on it.

With Owen's interpretation, it should be some kind of text that resists spiritual charm.

Of course, Owen still cares about that strong muscle.

It felt like I could kill him with one punch

He happened to be soaking wet. If you take another steel fork, you can completely cosplay Aquaman.

"Trisk! Flame whiskey. ”

The macho man sat on the counter, and with a wave of his big hand, a few silver coins were sprinkled, chic and free.

Owen was drooling with envy.

It is estimated that he will not be able to train that level of muscle in his life.

He's drifting away from magic, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to exercise, and he hates sweating even more.

"What? No harvest today! The counter owner was a middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a leather apron, and a glass of liquor was served to him as soon as he raised his hand.

"—don't mention it." The macho man poured a sip of spirits and spat out a mouthful of flames, and in an instant, his soaked body was steamed and dried.

"The submarine vortex on the other side of the Strait of Messina is getting bigger and faster, already three kilometers wide."

"Those krakens are dead, and if this continues, half of the island's industry will fall."

"Industry? What industry? Owen leaned over, and with a longing for a macho man, he ordered a glass of liquor and gave it to the man who looked like a sea king.

"Huh?"

The sudden rush of the little wizard startled both adult wizards slightly.

"Trisk? You're so poor that you've started selling alcohol to underage wizards? I don't think you kid's tavern wants to open, do you? The macho man stood up suddenly, he was really tall, more than two meters to his eye, which made him look like a small mountain, unlike Hagrid's half-blood giant, he didn't have Hagrid's big belly.

"Say what?" Treske took out a full bottle of flame whiskey and handed it to the man, "How could I buy alcohol for the little wizard?" Knock over there, that's his family. ”

Trisk gestured to Sirius, who was changing glasses in the crowd.

The man also took the time to look back, and then saw the glass of lemonade in Owen's hand, and then sat down.

"Don't let me find out, the Ministry of Magic is short of money! Don't hit the wand, and when the time comes to get fined, don't say I didn't warn you. The man picked up the whole bottle of flame whiskey and took a sip.

In this way, the shopkeeper named Trisk breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said with some earnestness, "Of course, of course! I'm the most law-abiding. ”

Then the casual figure walked forward a little bit.

The man may not have noticed, but Owen noticed that there was a faint magic coming from the man's feet.

I guess it's some Ministry of Magic contraband.

"You haven't said what the property of Sicily is!" Owen continued to ask.

And the man, after hearing Owen's question, glanced at him and said, "Don't ask, little kid!" Side to go. ”

"Hey, I'm not small, besides, since it's an industry in Sicily, what can't you say?"

"Huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several sneers rang out in the auditorium.

Everyone stared at Owen as if they were watching a joke, their eyes wandering up and down.

Then the smile was a little Bengbu.

Listen to the sound.

It's a boy!

!

It's really rare to look like this!

It was a man in a robe, pigtails, long silver and black hair, bangs sliding down his cheeks, a pair of emerald green eyes, a jewel-like nose.

And those lips, Owen completely inherited his grandmother's plump lips, most of the time, when he doesn't speak, he will deliberately purse his lips and close his lips, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he will reveal the filling, and because the lips are always in a moist state, they look very ruddy.

With this face, Miss Granger was sometimes in a trance, let alone anyone else who didn't know him.

"What an amazing little boy. If the Krakens knew, tsk-"

Suddenly, a lewd male wizard approached, wearing shabby wizard robes, greasy hair that could stir-fry dishes, a musty smell on his body, a mouth, a breath that could smoke a rat, and almost made Owen turn his back on it.

It's so suffocating.

"A glass of whiskey!" He said.

"Deal!" Owen frowned, then dropped a silver sico.

Although Italy does not use these currencies, as a fairy currency, circulation is still fine.

"Refreshing!" The wizard Mei Zizi picked up the wine handed over by Trisk, poured it into his throat in one gulp, and then said leisurely, "Speaking of which, the female krakens over there in the vortex like you are the most fond of little boys like you." If you fall into their hands, I can't guarantee anything else, you-they will definitely be reluctant to squeeze it dry, they will slowly raise you, lock you in the nest of the submarine ridge, and wait for the hanging tree to land, every day- hehe! ”

“.”

"Sicily." The man let out a wry laugh and continued, "The Sirens are a must-have experience for adult wizards who come to the island, if you don't bother with their lower bodies, stains—that figure. ”

"Every year, a large number of sirens come ashore in search of a man of their choice, who will be combined with a wizard for a week or two to keep warm, and then return to the sea before winter. This is their means of reproduction, and there are no males in this race. ”

“.”

Gan!

What the hell is this meowing on earth and heaven!

Owen showed great interest in this, and of course, he didn't do it for lust!

He is purely for scientific research purposes, knowing that any magical creature that can be combined with a wizard will definitely have a half-blood.

And listening to the wizard in front of him, it seems that the descendants of the Siren Siren must be the Siren Siren, not a witch with Siren blood.

This is interesting, strange races naturally make people interested in research.

If you can catch ten, eight of them will be raised in the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts

Ahem – scientific research! Pure scientific research!

That's going to be a huge boost to school enrollment

Ha ha!

"There aren't so many sirens now." At this time, the man suddenly opened his mouth, and he said, "I don't know what's going on this year, the siren siren seems to have moved, maybe it was affected by the underwater whirlpool." I wandered around the bottom of the sea for more than a month, and I didn't meet a single one. ”

"The Ministry of Magic has a headache, and they have to lose more than half of their admission income."

"Admission ticket?" Owen opened his round green eyes, activated his cute skills, and continued to inquire.

"The Italian Ministry of Magic has set up a special reserve here to protect the Kraken and operates a cruise ship dedicated to visiting the Kraken." The man said.

“6！” Owen gave a thumbs up, but when he looked around, it was a great idea to make a fortune!

The three major desires of human beings: appetite, sleep, and sexuality.

If you run it well, it's definitely a big deal that will make you rich for a long time!

"It's a pity that there won't be any more sirens this year, or even in the future." The man sighed.

And Owen also instantly understood, why is it such a mighty man who is looking for a siren at the bottom of the sea, is this not an appropriate beautiful man's plan?

"What's going on with that undersea whirlpool? Did it suddenly start expanding this year? ”

Owen also wanted to know more.

"It's true that the expansion has only started this year."

"And what about that obelisk in the whirlpool? I read in the newspaper that there was an obelisk in the center of the whirlpool. ”

"Then you should look carefully." The man said calmly, although his face was already flushed, but he looked quite steady.

"The Ministry of Magic has sent a large number of spell breakers and experts in ancient history, and from the translation of the runi script on the wall of the obelisk, we know that it was established by a wizard about 2,000 years ago, and nothing else has been found."

He continued to take a sip of his wine, as if he was not very interested.

What he said was not classified.

The tower was in the center of the vortex, and anyone could go there, and that's all the Ministry of Magic had studied about it, and everyone in the ministry knew about it, so he didn't have any scruples and said it casually.

But when these words entered Owen's ears, he felt a huge wave in his heart.

The timing is right.

All of the Divine Towers were built 2,000 years ago.

Could it really be a divine tower?

"About that obelisk" Owen still wanted to know some details, he already planned to go over and see it after the giant event was over.

It's a pity that he hasn't finished his sentence yet.

A cold and majestic voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Owen!"

It's Sirius!

He walked over with a cold face.

What are you talking about, this stinky boy!

How big! I just want to do this kind of thing.

And—even a fool can tell, the man in front of him is definitely an Auror of the Italian Ministry of Magic.

Asking about this kind of thing in front of an Auror, I really think I can't expose it, right?

He walked over. He lifted the collar from the back of Owen's head, then slipped away from the tavern.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"As for that Kraken, I'm all for scientific research, for Hogwarts, don't think everyone else is dirty if your own mind is so dirty."

Owen struggles and denounces the dark heart of the dog's godfather!

"Huh." Sirius didn't want to say a word, leading him into a deserted hallway, and then directly apparitioned out of the place.

In the tent, Owen was locked up in his room.

Of the three, apart from Madame Maxim, the other two, which one did not understand him?

Hagrid had something to say, and the kid blew all the magical beasts around the castle.

As soon as he heard about the Siren Siren from Sirius, he immediately asserted that the kid would definitely sneak out to find the creature.

At that time, the trouble caused by it may be no less than the big whirlpool on the other side of the strait.

Stirring up the wind and rain is his forte.

For this reason, in the following days, several adult wizards did not allow Owen to leave the tent.

He was put in a cage again.

Sirius, on the other hand, was busy asking around about the giant's whereabouts.

Originally, Owen had planned to continue videotaping with Miss Granger - but he quickly abandoned the idea.

Everyone should have their own space, and he's been playing for three days.

So- he decided to write to Hermione in his spare time to parse the spell.

Words are always more beautiful than words.

The rustling sound of the quill rubbing against the parchment paper can give people countless reveries.

Think of how many wonderful poems have been accompanied by such sounds, borrowed by mortal hands, flowing on paper.

How many souls are imprisoned, bursting with brilliant and colorful luster.

Therefore, he also pretended to start writing.

And then - except for the waste paper in one place.

He didn't get anything.

Maybe he could have picked up a few lines of Shakespeare's long love poem, but if he had to write a letter himself, his mind would still be blank.

————

On the third day, early in the morning.

Owen was lifted from his sleep by Sirius.

Then in a daze, he seemed to see in a haze that someone had demolished his tent.

Then another man stuffed him with a backpack and drove him towards a mountain in the distance.

That is, have you ever encountered a situation where you are absent-mindedly walking on the road, your consciousness is dropping, and when you look back, you will find that you have suddenly arrived at your destination, and you have no impression of the process.

Yes, that's how Owen feels right now.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing on a ridge.

In the distance, there are endless mountain ranges. The snow is covering, the temperature is getting colder, and the thick clouds and fog make the surroundings a trance wonderland.

"Huh? I'm not in bed and"

"What the hell, where is this going?"

Owen, who suddenly came back to his senses, tightened his clothes, and his blue eyes were full of confusion.

Hearing this, Sirius gave him a blank look.

It's been almost two hours since you came to your senses?

"To the Giants' Colony." Hagrid said in a loud voice, his tall stature, and Owen just glanced back, then silently stopped, and walked with him, uh-huh—to block the wind.

"A gathering of giants?"

"Are you kidding me, or am I blind."

In the distance, black smoke billowed and the earth was red, and flowing lava dotted the top of the mountain, which seemed to be the gates of hell.

That's – Etna active volcano.

Located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, at an altitude of 3,330 meters, it is the highest active volcano in Europe.

It is also one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with eruptions all year round, with lava gushing out from both sides or summits.

Although Owen doesn't know how long the eruption cycle will be, it is still erupting!

"Hmph—" Sirius, who was at the front, snorted, and continued, "You'll find out later." ”

Then, he stopped talking and continued towards the volcano.

"Cut—" Owen didn't speak, and walked forward with his head down.

The view from the top of the mountain was magnificent, and after about an hour, they came to the side of the volcano.

Then the speed continued until the snow had subsided, the ground was full of obsidian, and the heat of the air was burning the skin.

They didn't stop until it was as if the lava on the shore of the lake was right in front of them.

"Goo-goo-goo"

It was like a pot of soup.

"Know what we're going to do next?" Sirius suddenly looked at him mysteriously, with an expression that wanted to see him embarrassed.

"Martyrdom?"

Owen glanced at the lava in front of him. The magic that was about to come out was overflowing.

Of course he guessed something. But that doesn't stop Owen from choking on the dog's godfather.

“.”

The corners of Sirius's mouth twitched, this kid is really not funny.

Terrifying to the magic acumen.

Now that Owen has guessed it.

Sirius didn't hide it anymore, and he jumped straight into the crater.

Then Hagrid, Owen, and Madame Maxim jumped down.

The blazing lava engulfed them instantly, and then, instead of the burning sensation, it was cold.

In front of Owen's eyes, it was as if the heavens and the earth were hanging upside down.

The world suddenly turned upside down like an hourglass.

They seem to be descending.

But when you really feel the air around you, it seems to be rising.

After a few seconds, it became clear that they were indeed rising.

Suddenly, Owen seemed to be plunging headlong into the water.

The sudden pressure of the water slapped straight into his face.

As soon as the figures of several people loosened, the sense of rising that was wrapped in them disappeared.

In the water, they glanced at each other, then began to swim towards the surface.

Half a minute later, Owen was the first to jump out of the water.

"Whew!" He spat out a mouthful of icy lake water, his eyes full of surprise.

"What a big deal! Can it be like this? ”

It turns out that the entire volcano is in a mirror image.

There is no active volcano in Etna, and there is no such thing as a volcano that swallows lava all day.

It's a little trick of the wizards, and they've created a huge illusion!

The top of the mountain is actually a lake, and only a person jumping into the false lava will hang the world upside down to the real reality.

"Magic is amazing." He sighed.

Although Owen could sense the violent magic fluctuations around him, he didn't know what kind of situation was in front of him, what kind of spell it was.

"It's pretty good." Sirius was not interested, and he looked like he was used to seeing the big world.

Although a flash of shock flashed in the corner of Madame Maxim's eyes, her expression was still so steady on the whole.

As for Hagrid, his expression was even more exaggerated than Owen's.

Who would have thought that the Italian Ministry of Magic would make such a big move.

That's right, that's clearly the work of the Ministry of Magic.

Ordinary wizards, unless they have the strength of Dumbledore, how can they have the strength to cover an entire mountain, or even an entire mountain range.

The high temperature emitted by the sodium dissolution is real, otherwise the image alone would be debunked casually.

Four Owen swam out of the water.

There is a small island in the center of the lake.

After casting the spell to dry his body, Owen raised his head and looked at the huge vine in front of him, which seemed to connect to heaven.

Yes - vines.

On the island in the middle of the lake grew a vine as thick as seven or eight of the ancient trees of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest.

The bright green vines stretch out their huge leaves, and it feels like they can build a house on the leaves.

Remarkably, this vine should be some kind of ladder.

But not for wizards.

"This? What kind of amazing plant is this? ”

"It's not a plant."
