MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 2774 Lament of the Moon (7)
Chapter 2774 Lament of the Moon (7)
The location of Hogwarts is a basin. After the Piyu River flows through here, a lake is formed. It is divided into two tributaries and then flows downstream. One of the tributaries will flow into a swamp, and the other will bypass the composition of the basin. peaks that flow into the highland mountains.
There are several villages distributed along the river. Wizard villagers live in the Forbidden Forest. They will collect magical plants and animals that grow in the forest, and sell them after preliminary processing.
But not everyone wants to live this kind of life. There have been wandering wizards and smugglers haunting the Forbidden Forest since ancient times. They will rob the Forbidden Forest to collect villagers and sell prohibited trade items. This mainly depends on the strength gap between the two sides. , If a businessman thinks that the transaction partner is easy to deceive, he will use fake dragon eggs to deceive him. If he thinks the other party is easy to deal with, he doesn't care about being a robber.
So for a while the villagers found trolls and wanted to train them to be bodyguards, but they were not so easy to train, and sometimes they even ran to nearby Muggle villages.
There is a small town called Trill, but it was called Troll in the Middle Ages. Many Muggle offshoots of the Wood family live there, and the nearby Muggles are not a thing for Hogwarts. I don't know anything, but the school in their eyes is in ruins.
The dispute between Alice and Frank was because Kettleburn won the most disabled award in 1063 or more than 900, and then they argued about the establishment time of Hogsmeade.
Frank came back soon, but the news he brought back was not good, because the Forbidden Forest robbers all drank Dr. Lang's joke wine, which can make people "tell jokes" all the time.
"Are you going to take them away?" Pomona asked Frank.
Frank shook his head, "They're just drinking in the cemetery, it's not illegal."
"But it's very close to the village." Alice said.
Frank scratched the back of his head, and finally thought of a helpless countermeasure, "Let me try the antidote."
So he took out the seven-hole box specially used for Aurors, took out the folding crucible and the required medicinal materials from it, and began to brew the potion.
Pomona couldn't tell for a moment whether it would be better to stay at the Three Broomsticks and watch Kettleburn show off his prosthetics, or stay in the cemetery and watch Frank make potions, but overall the evening was ruined.
This is the youth of Pomona. Naxisha dated Lucius Malfoy in school. She looked beautiful and happy holding a rose.
"Why are you upset? Who made you angry?" Alice asked Pomona.
"Don't talk to me." She said listlessly.
After about half an hour, Frank prepared the hangover medicine, and then he caught a drunk robber and gave him the hangover medicine.
The drunk who kept telling jokes gradually sobered up. He looked at the three of them and subconsciously wanted to take out his wand.
"Hold on," said Frank, taking the bandit's wand in his hand. "Answer the question and I'll give you the wand back."
The robber nodded hurriedly.
"Why did you leave the camp, you plan to attack Hogsmeade?" Frank said.
"No! Someone broke into the Forbidden Forest." Said the robber.
"Is there anyone in the woods you fear?" Pomona asked.
The robber's eyes looked around, and after a moment, he cowered and lowered his voice and said, "They are Death Eaters."
"What are the Death Eaters doing in the Forbidden Forest?" Frank continued.
"I don't know, I think they seem to be looking for something." The robber said, "I heard them say 'entrance'."
Pomona remembered the labyrinth of Unon Wood that Sirius had found, and was about to tell him when he looked at the robber again.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Pomona asked Frank.
Frank asked the robber again how many people there were and where the camp was. After the question, Pomona stunned the robber with a stun spell, then used an amnestic spell, and gave him Dr. Lang's joke drink.
"Send him back," Pomona said to Frank. "Knowing too much won't do him any good."
While waiting for Frank to send the bandit back, Pomona took out the map of the Forbidden Forest. The place the bandit said is a bit far away. It will take a while on foot, but it will be very fast if you can ride a broom or other flying tools .
There is a group of Thestrals domesticated by Hagrid in the forest, but this kind of animal is very unlucky, and she doesn't know whether Frank and Alice mind it or not.
"Alice," said Pomona.
"What's the matter?" Alice asked with a smile.
"You...forget it." Pomona hesitated for a moment, deciding it was better not to ask.
Actually, the weather is nice today, and it’s nice to take a walk under the moon.
Soon Frank came back.
"Come on, I know a shortcut." Frank said.
He took the two of them to an abandoned empty house near the cemetery, and checked the fireplace in the house.
"Let's Floo over."
"Where are you going?" Pomona asked.
"Come with me." Frank said with a smile, walked into the fireplace, let go of the Floo powder in his hand, "Windmill Street."
The orange flame turns green, and Frank disappears.
Pomona and Alice came to "Windmill Street" in the same way.
When she walked out of the fireplace, she found that it was the goblin's house. The walls of the studio were full of silverware, and there was an unfinished pair of silver silk gloves on the table. Before they came, the goblin seemed to be planning to steal a gem Place on the groove of the glove.
"Let's go." Frank said to the two, leaving the goblin's house first.
The goblin looked at them carefully, and didn't use harsh words to teach the three uninvited guests.
After leaving the goblin's studio, Frank told Pomona that the goblin had committed fraud, but because he had tipped off the information, he was not arrested.
Then they came to Windmill Street, and the Piyu River flowed in front of them. Both sides of the river were "windmills" driven by water.
"Papyrus used to be produced here." Frank said. "After the copy spell was invented, it was replaced by parchment."
"It's a pity." Alice said, "This place must have been very prosperous before."
Pomona doesn't think so. The Forbidden Forest is located in the upper reaches of the Pit River. If the upper reaches are paper mills, Hogwarts is in bad luck. The Black Lake is not only black in color, but also smells bad. Mermaids don't even want to live there. Inside, of course, the "view" outside the Slytherin window is no longer beautiful.
They walked out along the road in the village. At first it was a stone road, then a gravel road, and then it simply turned into a path trampled by wild animals.
The surrounding scenery also changed accordingly. At the beginning, there were shrubs outside the Forbidden Forest. After entering the Forbidden Forest, because those giant trees blocked the sunlight, there were almost no plants under the trees. Only some grass or shade-loving plants could still grow.
The **** kept going down, as if they were walking towards the "bottom of the basin". Originally, Pomona wanted to use fluorescent flashes, but Frank stopped them.
"If there are really Death Eaters around here, we're going to expose our whereabouts like this." Frank said.
So they can only continue to discredit and move forward.
Even trees seem to have a limit of lifespan. In the forest, a giant tree fell down, forming a small open space. The moonlight and starlight cast down, and the amphora was swaying in the wind.
"It's so beautiful." Alice said, staring at the scenery in front of her.
"Worth the trip, isn't it?" Frank said.
Pomona wanted to disappear in place.
In order not to disturb the two of them, she wanted to stay away, and at this moment a black shadow appeared behind the fallen stump of the giant tree.
"Alert!" Pomona yelled anxiously, raising his wand.
Frank and Alice also ran over, pointing their wands in the direction of the shadow.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of horseshoes, a knight carrying a bow and arrow appeared on the top of the giant tree. There was a gem around his neck, emitting a faint blue light.
By this light, Pomona could see clearly that what came was not a knight, but a centaur, who first bowed to the human.
"Good evening," said the centaur.
"Good evening, Dolan." Pomona said "Long time no see."
"You know each other?" Frank asked.
"Knowledge," Pomona said. "We met through Graplan."
