Sword and Magic and Taxi

Barbara classified Zhao Mai's caution as stingy, and she wrinkled her nose and sulked all the way. Here we are, we have finally arrived at the home of the witch who cannot be a swordsman. Welcome!

The·Che turned from the dilapidated road and drove onto a nearby intact gravel road. Not far away was a castle estate. The castle has a dangerous terrain, built on a hill, with a steep mountain at its back. Two tall castle towers guard the only way up the mountain, and a drawbridge that can be raised is built over a manually dug trench. There are no guards on the tower, but there are many sculptures of different shapes, with teeth and claws showing in terrifying shapes, making Zhao Mai easily think of gargoyles. Perhaps when invaded, they would come to life and tear apart any idiot who dared to attack.

Looking beyond the tower, you will hit the gray castle wall, and the owner's residence is hidden behind the thick and solid wall, with only a green spire barely exposed. Grandpa usually lives there. He is too old and is always worried that someone will harm him. It is very troublesome to get in and out of the castle. There are only house elves and grandma to take care of him. He always jokingly says that anyway, he You can't die, even if you don't deliver food. But no one dares to take it seriously. Barbara moved the car eastward, heading towards a three-story manor house. We usually live in the manor, where activities are more convenient.

The gray masonry walls are covered with vines, and winter snow covers them with a pure white color. Except for the roads where vehicles travel, the surrounding trees, shrubs, grasslands and lakes are all covered in silver, looking holy and enchanting. From a distance, Zhao Mai saw servants in black tuxedos and white long skirts waiting in front of the door. Gardeners in khaki overalls carried vegetables picked from the greenhouse and walked across the snow-covered grass toward the kitchen. And go. There are more than twenty chimneys in the whole house, half of which are filled with smoke. It must be warm and comfortable inside.

Welcome home, miss three, and welcome the guests. Where is the luggage? Please leave it to us so that we can move it to the room?

Long time no see, Abel! I only have a small box with confidential things in it. Please put it in my room carefully. Barbara winked playfully: Let me introduce to you, this is my room in Hog Watts’s classmate Mike Longhou and his friend Dojian came to spend Christmas with us!”

On behalf of the owner who has not returned from the hunt, I would like to welcome everyone to Leme Castle. Please come in quickly.

Dad went hunting again, where is grandpa? If grandpa finds out, they will be criticized again. Barbara spoke unabashedly, shaking her head, as if she hated iron and steel: Those wild animals are so cute, It’s not like we don’t have specially raised animals at home and there’s no shortage of food, so why do we need to hunt?”

Abel smiled and said: The third lady is the most kind-hearted. As far as I know, they are not hunting for killing, they are just going for a walk to discuss some things. There will be a lot of excitement at home in the past two days. You can come back the fastest. Everyone else will be here in these two days. Oh, by the way, in addition to Mr. Mike, there is another guest in the manor, brought by your father.

My dad? Can grandpa bring back those people he knows? Barbara glanced at Zhao Mai, and finally showed mercy and did not continue. Oh, Mike is here to visit Grandpa. I have already agreed. You can make arrangements.

But you know the old master doesn't accept visitors.

He saved my life first, and then he knew who I was after hearing my name, so he made the request. And I can't break my promise, right? Barbara put the small box into Abel's hand: This I’ll leave it to you to handle. If you can’t handle it, I will personally take care of it.”

No! Just let me make the arrangements. Abel took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat: If I do it, at least I won't burn down the kitchen and let everyone eat cold food for more than a week.

Hehe, I was little back then! Barbara finished speaking and took Zhao Mai's arm: Let's go, I will take you to the guest room, where you will live during this period! Then I will show you around!

Abel looked at Barbara pulling Zhao Mai, raised his eyebrows, and went to work humming a happy little tune. Anyway, another guest also wants to meet the old master, so they can just arrange it together. This is actually not troublesome.

When Barbara returned home, she was like a pony on a spring, running around excitedly. After a while, she left Zhao Mai behind and went to the kitchen to steal something to eat. After she left, Zhao Mai sat in the room, closed his eyes and entered the green dream with Xiao Hua.

The manor is better. There are magic circles everywhere in the castle. It's so well-defended. I didn't dare to go there. Xiaohua said to Zhao Mai: As soon as I got close there, I felt like I was being targeted by a swarm of locusts.

As a tree, being targeted by a swarm of locusts is definitely the scariest feeling. Actually, the manor is also very well-defended. Maybe you haven't noticed that every painting hanging on the wall is actually alive, just like Hogwarts. It's just that they are pretending not to move and watching secretly. Okay The paintings in the guest rooms are just for decoration, if they are for surveillance, then they have bad intentions.

I haven't discovered this, but the servants here are not completely pure humans. The natural force in them is rather weird. They should be hybrids with other creatures. I can't tell what they are, but it is definitely not natural.

Nicolas Flamel is a famous alchemist master, and he may have something to do with alchemy. The natural Force atmosphere in this room is more rigid and uncomfortable than that of Hogwarts. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua. : You take care of it for me and I'll contact Diana.

Okay, don't play outside for too long. Xiaohua waved her hand, and then saw Zhao Mai disappear from in front of him with a whoosh, and walked away in the green dream.

What's there to take care of? You obviously don't want me to disturb you! Xiaohua wandered in the green dreamland, passing through walls and corridors until she saw a familiar figure from behind.

Hey, why is he here? Xiao Hua fluttered over and walked around to the front to take a look. It was exactly as she guessed. Gellert Grandewald was sitting comfortably in a recliner, closing his eyes and meditating.

It seemed that the green dream caused a little energy fluctuation, and Grandevo's eyeballs trembled under his eyelids. He waved casually, and a purifying energy filled the entire room, and the little flower was directly expelled from the green dreamland. She regrouped her body next to the flowerpot, with a frightened look on her face, as if she had seen something quite terrifying. She took a few deep breaths, then re-entered the green dreamland and chased Zhao Mai.

Grindelwald still had his eyes closed, tilting his head slightly, as if listening to the sounds around him. There was silence, which satisfied him. With a smile, he continued to warm up his spirit and prepare to meet the master of alchemy.
