The top of the palace opposite the Winter Palace.

Catherine stood there, watching what was happening inside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom.

Until the soldiers pulled up the curtains in a panic.

"It was a surprise to me."

Behind her, Char's figure slowly appeared, and he also quietly watched the palace not far away.

"I'm a little surprised, too." Catherine said without looking back, "It seems that even if it is a waste, there is some integrity." ”

"In this world, there are indeed not many kings who choose to die for their country, and most of them are passively martyred." Char muttered softly.

Catherine turned her head to look at Char, "If he doesn't kill himself, is it possible to live?" ”

Char shrugged, "What the future, who knows." However, on their way out of St. Petersburg, there was indeed a group of "robbers" ready to rob the monarch. ”

"I see." Catherine bowed, "The new regime is benevolent, at least, not as hypocritical as Elizabeth. ”

"Where do you want to go next?" Char asked, "I can give you a ride." ”

"Go back to Hogwarts." She said.

"I thought you'd go back to the castle." Char said.

"Hogwarts has a library, and there are quite a few books there." Catherine said, "Because of the war, Hogwarts issued a new rule that allowed you to stay at Hogwarts even if it was a holiday. Food and basic services are provided, but classes are not available. ”

Char smiled and slowly disappeared into the roof of the place with Catherine.

Soon, when they opened their eyes again, they were on the Isle of Skye, where Hogwarts was located.

The warm sunlight hangs high in the sky, shining on this lush green island, matching the blue sky and white clouds on one side, like a saturated photo.

"The school says that Skye Island can't use autonomous space magic." Ekaterina said.

"I created the barrier here." Char said, "Naturally, your own things will leave some back doors, right?" ”

"Did you really build this island?" She asked.

Char raised his eyebrows, and he smiled, "Is it that unbelievable?" ”

"The more I learned, the more incredible it became." Ekaterina said.

"As long as you continue to study your magic, it's not without the possibility of achieving it all." Char said.

And Catherine shook her head, "No, I've figured it out, no human can have such a huge amount of magical power. ”

Char's eyelids retracted, "Magic is the ladder to the root, as long as you spend enough energy to delve into it, you can break through the boundary." Humans don't have such a huge amount of magic, but what about non-humans? ”

Catherine seemed to have thought of something, stood still, lost in thought.

And Char's eyelids were retracted, and he didn't stay too much here, but slowly stepped forward, and before the shoes stepped on the ground, a magic array pattern appeared on the soles of his shoes.

In that moment, the situation changed.

The first thing that comes to my face is the fragrance of a book, with a sense of decay.

He made his way to the library under Hogwarts, which was located beneath Sky City, so you could see the roots of the Arvac Tree passing through the middle, in addition to the tall bookshelves.

Some passed through the shelves, while the original went through the walls, and the library was designed to fit almost perfectly into these roots, without destroying the roots at all.

The druid magic of the Ogan script can control the movement of the roots, so it was easy to create such an untouched space.

The reason why these roots are kept is to add some beauty.

There are no students in the library, after all, no one likes to come to the library early in the morning to read some esoteric books, and there are usually more people who come in the afternoon or evening.

And this period is still a vacation period, although the world is now in a war and it is difficult to go out, but those students obviously will not waste time on studying.

However, there were still many people walking around the library, all wearing the same clothes, a plain white petticoat, and long white hair hanging down casually around the waist, but it was not the withered white of the elderly, but a very soft silver white.

In the warm sunlight shining through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the fair skin and silver hair shimmered faintly, like elves.

These people are exactly the same in terms of dress and appearance, all of them are Alicia's face, but they are all doing different things.

Some people are sorting out their shelves, some are sitting and reading, and some are cleaning the library.

Rao is Char will not be able to tell which one is Alicia here for a while.

It's not some illusionary doppelganger like him, but it actually has a physical body, but it's not like a puppet or something.

Char's face showed a little interest, and he casually stopped an Alicia.

Alicia looked at Char with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

The tone of her voice, or her personality, seems to be Alicia as well, Char thought to herself.

He didn't answer, but began to lift her arm, pinching her long slender fingers with his fingers, and then squeezing her arm again.

"What are you going to do?" Alicia's eyes were even more puzzled, but she didn't resist, just let him fiddle.

Char grabbed her chin and whispered, "Open your mouth." ”

This Alicia opened her mouth very obediently, Char looked at it carefully, and then nodded, it was no different from the real body.

"Are you the Body?" Char asked.

Alicia nodded, "This is"

But before she could explain, Char broke away from her and walked over to another Alicia, who was cleaning the table.

Alicia also seemed to sense Char's arrival, and slowly turned her head to look at him.

To her surprise, Char leaned directly against her neck and sniffed her neck, the warm breath on her neck.

Then he groped his way to inspect the body as he had just done, his hand slowly descending the curve of her back.

The confusion in Alicia's eyes was even stronger, but her breathing was slightly disturbed, and some of the scents brought to him by Char's nightmare blood would make people more impulsive.

Of course, Char didn't have any desire in his eyes, just a deeper doubt.

He possessed arguably the largest amount of magical knowledge in the entire wizarding world, and even this library probably didn't contain much more than him.

But like now, he can't see the principle of doppelgangerism at all.

Char had lived with Alicia for more than a hundred years, and he was familiar with every corner of her body, both inside and out, but he couldn't find any flaws.

Suddenly, Alicia's complexion changed slightly, "Wait, wait! ”

She grabbed Char's hand that was about to poke down her skirt, her originally cold and calm face turned a little crimson, and she said angrily in shame.

"What are you going to do!?"

She whispered, "Aren't you going to go back to the castle like this?" ”

Another Alicia also walked over and reminded helplessly, "This is the library." ”

"He's like that." Alicia, who was tidying up the bookshelves, nodded, "It's very serious when it's serious, and it can be very indecent when it's not serious." ”

Alicia nodded in agreement, and even began to complain about Char.

What does it feel like to be complained about by dozens of women who are extremely familiar with you?

Char couldn't describe it in words, but if he was a hundred years younger, and there were others here, he would probably have to jump off this Sky Island right now.

But now he is more than a hundred years old, his skin is thicker than the city walls, his face is not red and his heart is not beating.

"What kind of magic is this?" Char asked.

"It's not magic." Alicia, who was closest to Char, spoke.

She showed Char a pocket watch in her hand.

"The magic props that Tony gave me, let me try it out for him, this pocket watch can allow you to appear in the same time period at different times.

It was made by the inspiration and information he had received from those rings and the contents of the jade catalogue. ”

"Is there any price?" Char asked.

"The technology is not yet mature, but there are some." "Like, longevity. ”

"But you don't grow old or die." Char said.

Alicia nodded, "So he gave it to me to experiment with." ”

Char turned his head and looked at Alicia in the library, his eyes flashing.

"My gut tells me you're thinking something not so good." Alicia said calmly.

Char let out a long sigh, "Your instincts are as accurate as ever. ”

Alicia looked up, but was speechless.

"Go find Tony." Char said, "Let's go back to the tavern together." ”

"What are you going to do?" Alicia asked.

"Go meet a new friend." Char said, "I think he would be very interested in meeting him." ”

"I'll go with you, too." Alicia said.

After a pause, she looked at the dozens of Alicia present, "Recently, there has been a lot more time. ”

"I'm going to call Tony." Another Alicia said.

Char smiled and raised his hand, a wand appeared in his hand, the light of the magic circle shining under their feet, and almost instantly, he disappeared in place with Alicia beside him.

When they reappeared, they were in Merlin's Tavern.

It was still deserted, and the silence was terrible.

Char raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the warm-colored lights in the tavern slowly turned on.

Char, on the other hand, walked to the back of the bar, took off the apron hanging from the bar and put it on herself.

"Where's my apron?" Alicia asked.

"You don't come often, but you probably took it and washed it." Char said.

Alicia nodded, then turned her head and walked into the side of the corridor, looking to look for an apron.

After a while, the door of the store slowly opened, and a person walked in.

It was a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, with brown eyes digging deep into his sockets and a short, stiff beard. His hair was unkempt and looked like it hadn't been taken care of in a long time. He kept his head down, as if he was thinking as he walked.

His clothes were also very fat, and his whole body was wrapped around his body, as if he was wearing a large sheet, and the shoes he wore were slippers in the bedroom, and he looked like an informal scholar.

Seeing that person, Char's eyes flashed with a glimmer, and she smiled politely.

"Welcome, sir."
