Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 226 Blood Servant

After leaving the small town of St. Angus, Lean embarked on a journey again.If you encounter people, Lean will also land on the ground, and eating a hot meal and tasting different delicacies from various places is also an indispensable part of the journey.

At the same time, Gringotts in various countries also knew that there was such a wizard who was keen to exchange Galleons for local coins.So they also took out the Muggle currency that had been dusty for many years from the warehouse, cleaned it up, and waited quietly until the bully came to their door.

And Lean did not live up to their expectations, and kept exchanging gold for Muggle currency, and then bought some souvenirs locally.As for the extra change, it can also be given to others as a gift.

In any case, the currencies of other countries are not always easy to find, and this kind of thing with its own story is very popular.

Flying all the way east, Lean soon came to Romania, which is where he bought the keel before.Lean also purposely shrunk Anderson's body size, allowing him to come out of the box world and see the origin of his body.

It's just that after reading it, Anderson became a little angry and cursed, saying that it was not a dragon at all, but an animal that looked like a dragon.

Later, after returning to the box world, Anderson put down the alloy experiment, lay down on the snow mountain, and began to absorb magic power to temper his body, driving away the last trace of animalism.

But in just a few days, the animal nature was completely expelled.Today's Anderson doesn't seem to have the gloom of undead creatures at all. Instead, he looks extremely wise. Just by looking at it, he feels like he has mastered some knowledge, but when he thinks about it carefully, he has nothing.

Lien was flying over a wasteland wearing a cloak at the moment, and the weather in November at high latitudes had begun to turn cold, and even one or two snowfalls had fallen in some places.

Looking at the gloomy weather, Lean couldn't help but sighed.In this weather, flying in the sky is really a fatal thing.

After looking around for a while, Lien found a small village with about a dozen households in it.It's just that no one went out in this village at this time, and it looked lifeless.

But looking at those utensils, you know that there must be people living here.

So the question is, what is the reason why no one in the whole village goes out during the day?
Lean was a little curious, so he adjusted his figure and landed outside the village.However, this landing, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

The village has disappeared!
However, after a while of investigation by Lien, it was discovered that the Muggle Shielding Curse had been cast on the periphery of the village, and there was also a magic circle similar to the Disillusionment Curse, which made the whole village look no different from other places.

Flying into the sky again, the village once again appeared in Lean's eyes.

Now it was clear that someone had kept the Muggle village under wraps, not even for wizards to find out.

"Invisibility" "Blink"

Lean easily crossed the magic circle without arousing the slightest alarm.

The village was silent, and there was no sign of any strangers.If it weren't for the traces of use of public goods such as water wells, Lean would even think that this is a deserted village.

Without making any sound, Lean just walked quietly in the village.The doors and windows of each small house are tightly closed. In the small yard surrounded by fences, there are all kinds of kennels and chicken coops, but there are no chickens or dogs.

And the fields outside the village are also barren, without any signs of life.

"Magic Vision"

After opening the magic field of vision, Lean glanced around, but did not find any magic reactant.As if this enchanted village was just some wizard's joke.

But Lean knew very well that this was not some wizard's joke, because just now he released the shrunken Anderson.

"The strong smell of blood, you don't need to look at me to tell that this must be a vampire." Anderson pretended to take a breath in the air, and then used magic power to stir the air in Lien's ear and said.

"How do you know? And don't undead creatures have no sense of smell?" Lean glanced at Anderson suspiciously, and then sniffed his nose, but he didn't feel any smell in the air at all.

"If the slave contract hadn't told me that you were telling the truth, I would have doubted that you were lying to me."

"Damn it, as a mage, you are still relying on your senses to discern! Use magic power! Use spiritual power! Use your soul! You are no longer a mortal, but a mage, you know, mage!"

Anderson said to Lean with a bit of hatred, and then handed the spell for detecting magic attributes to Lean.Lien was able to release this spell after a few simple experiments, but because he was new to it, he couldn't cast it silently without a stick.

Taking out the wand, which he hadn't touched for a long time, from the non-marking stretch bag, Lean released the detection spell.

In an instant, a strong smell of blood and an inexplicable sweet smell poured into Rion's brain, making him stunned for a moment.

"I can smell blood. What is that sweet smell?" Rein asked based on the principle of asking if you don't understand.

"Life energy." Anderson shook his little head and looked at Lean, "Whether it is sucking blood or absorbing magic power, in essence, creatures like vampires maintain their lives by absorbing life energy from the outside world. The secret of their longevity."

"So what's going on with the situation now?"

"Blood servant." Anderson said coldly, and then explained it to him in detail as if he was afraid that Lien would not understand.

"Blood is not a necessity for vampires. As long as they can provide them with life energy, all items are within the scope of vampires' food and drink. But the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. It seems that some people like to kill for fun, while others Vampires love to suck blood."

"Just like humans breed livestock for meat, vampires who like to drink blood also like to breed humans and use them as their rations, just like here now."

Lien squatted for a long time, and his legs felt a little numb, so he changed his position. After hearing what Anderson said, he said in disbelief: "I heard that the relationship between vampires and wizards is very good, so I shouldn't do this kind of thing." thing?"

"It's a good relationship with wizards, not Muggles. This is a remote place, and no wizard would provoke a neutral vampire for the sake of dozens of Muggles that won't be discovered by the Muggle government."

It has been less than a month since Anderson was summoned, and he has a clearer understanding of the relationship between various institutions in this world than Lean.

"However, I think you can take care of this matter. Now that you have discovered it, it doesn't matter. And your box world really needs a few people to take care of it. It's a pity that those places are in a hurry, and you still have magic awakening potions .”

"The grace of saving life is no different than others, but it does not rule out those who like to serve vampires as blood servants."

Saying that, Anderson sighed.He had met such a group of people before, happily serving as blood servants for vampires.In the eyes of those people, it is really a good deal to exchange a little blood every month and the disadvantage of not being able to come out during the day in exchange for ample food and clothing.

"Let's talk about it at night. In order to keep the blood of the blood servants fresh, the vampires will also let the blood servants do certain exercises. So at night, the people hiding in the village will definitely come out. You can listen to it at that time If they talk, you will know whether to save them or not."

Now Anderson has transformed his identity from a servant of Rian to a role similar to a grandfather.However, given Anderson's age of more than 1000 years, it is not a big problem to call him a grandfather, although more than 1000 years old is only an adult in the blue dragon group.

Lien stood where he was, thought for a while, and entered the box world.As for the box, it was hidden with a disillusionment spell.

After reading a book for a while in the manor in the box world, and having dinner along the way, reckoning that it was almost time, Lean got out of the box world.

It was originally cloudy, and the northern hemisphere was originally dark early in November, so it was already pitch black outside at this time, the kind where you can't see your fingers.

It's just that the village was still silent. If it wasn't for the smell of blood that belonged exclusively to the Blood Servant, Li En would have thought that all the people here had been transferred away.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the village finally turned on the first light.

Immediately afterwards, lights came on one after another, and the whole village finally gained a little popularity.

It took about half an hour after the lights were turned on before someone pushed open the door and came out with a kerosene lamp.

With the help of "Night Vision", Lean could clearly see these people.

They were all young people in their 20s, male and female, and all of them looked pretty good. It was obvious from a glance that the vampires who raised them went outside to find them.

But the number of people is a bit small, one for each room, a total of ten people, five men and five women.

After they walked out of the room, they all walked to the well in the middle of the village.

"I can't stand this kind of life anymore. I'm being held here in captivity. I don't know how long this kind of life will last. I'd rather die." One of the girls in a white dress said, her voice sounded very crisp, It is unusually eye-catching in the silent village.

"An Lina, it should be pretty good here. You don't still think about your alcoholic dad, do you? He drank all your college tuition. If it wasn't like this, you wouldn't be Bring it here?"

Another boy in a black windbreaker and a scarf sneered.

"Pohl, you're a coward!"

An Lina cursed, and the bucket used to draw water in the well swayed for a while, but the pendant on An Lina's body flashed a gleam, and the bucket immediately fell silent.

A gleam of light flashed in Rian's eyes, he was not mistaken, An Lina's body was definitely fluctuating with magic power just now, but it was suppressed by the pendant.

To be able to escape the detection of the magic horizon, that pendant must be a good alchemy item.But to be able to break through the suppression of the magic power of this pendant, then Alina must be a genius.

"But what can I do! We can't get out, what else can we do except accept?" Boer seemed a little crazy, "You have the ability to move the bucket, but why can't you get out from here! Oh, you can only Take what that monster gave you, and play tricks here."

"That's enough, Boll." Another man with blond hair and a well-fitting suit said.

His voice is full of majesty, making people unconsciously want to believe him.

"Hehe, that monster wants you to be his housekeeper. You all have a way out, but we don't." Bohr said in a voice so small that no one could hear it.

"Okay, let's think about how to escape from here." Lu Bo, the blond-haired man, said.

"We've been discussing for several nights, but all plans have been rejected." Another girl with chestnut hair said.

"That's because we still have too little information. If we want everyone to escape together, we need a better plan." Lu Bo pushed his gold-rimmed eyes and said slowly, without any reason Impatient with other people's doubts.

"Hey, that monster just wants us to be loyal to him. Or, let's promise for the time being?"

Another person raised his hand and said.

"That's a monster! He kidnapped us here and sucked blood every week. I don't want to serve such a monster!"

"Ha, Polita, don't you like vampire stories the most?"

"Damn it, stories are stories, but I didn't expect such monsters to exist in reality!"

It seems that the story of Mr. Ye's love for dragons has a market everywhere.

The ten people just formed a circle, each separated by a certain distance, discussing the plan of escaping from here.

Lean hid in the dark and kept nodding.From the conversation, I learned that each of the ten people here has their own abilities.

Lu Bo graduated from the Butler Academy, Polita was born as a chef, An Lina majored in gardening, and the rest of them also have their own skills.It can be said that these ten people can completely support the operation of a manor.

The main thing is that they are either orphans, or the family environment is very bad, the kind of people who have no family.

For a moment, Li En felt grateful to that Mr. Vampire whom he hadn't met yet. It must have taken a lot of time to collect all ten people.

But now it's all for Ryan.

Thinking of this, Lean was going to withdraw his invisibility and come as a savior so as to reap a wave of loyalty.However, before Lien jumped out, a group of bats flew over blatantly from the night sky.

The reason why the statement is blatant is entirely because the eyes of each bat emit a little red light, which is extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

"So how are you thinking, gentlemen and ladies, my patience is very limited."

The group of bats gathered above the well to form a well-dressed human figure, who was holding a goblet with blood-red liquid in his hand, and a strong bloody smell permeated instantly.
