The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

"Come in and take a seat. Don't let hesitation get you down."

Belina's steps were as fast and light as a bird's, and she kept greeting the group of unpretentious guests.

Both Gu Pan and his demeanor were active and strong, showing a vitality that was inconsistent with the rumors. The ravages of time have not broken her down. Belina is still the most beautiful duchess of Baldur's Gate and a tough-minded politician a few decades ago.

Constantine looked surprised, "It's amazing."

Linde took the lead in entering the living room - it was essentially a small bedroom, complete with beds, tables, and chairs, but the space was a little narrower. It could only accommodate four or five people at a time.

After the adventure team squeezed in, there were really no extra seats, so the monks voluntarily went downstairs and rested in the hall.

Belina asked the attendants to bring chairs to the next suite, and finally everyone sat down, leaning against the wall, with teacups in their hands. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, like a tea party.

"I'm Belina Storme, you may have heard of me. But I have never heard of you. Oh, wait, this face, you are Will? Ravengard's son."

"It's an honor, ma'am." Will stood up and bowed slightly to show his grace.

"I have seen you twice. The first time you were still a child, standing with your unkind father, like a little monkey next to Ravengard. The second time, you have grown up a lot. , but still so rough and rough, secretly asking me if I had a stroke."

Will sneered and praised repeatedly: "Madam, your physical condition is much better."

"Yes, it is all thanks to the gift of my God that I escaped from the nightmare." There is a black notebook on the square table beside the duchess. On the cover is a silver tree with developed roots and luxuriant branches. The crown has no leaves. , but blossoming candlelight.

When she spoke, she always put one hand on her notes and rubbed them unconsciously, and her sharp eyes became somewhat soothing.

Obviously this book is very important to Belina and has a spiritual sustenance effect.

Shadow Heart asked quietly: "Lin De, that book is very similar to yours."

"Well, it's a series of products, and the Warlocks of the Tower King have them. The one I have is the first edition."

Belina seemed to hear something and turned to Paladin.

"Father, what's your problem? I heard Erica say that you want to help this city. This is too general."

"I need your support. Sounds like a liar, right?"

"Yes, clever liars do not sell physical goods, but sell lies. I hope you have at least made some preparations in advance. To help Baldur's Gate, you must at least understand the problems facing the city."

Belina is straightforward and willing to play, without any testing or pushing and pulling. The Duchess believes that the best way to see her opponent clearly is to fight directly in the card game. A person's words and deeds in solving problems can reflect his position and ability.

Lind put down the tea cup and straightened his back, "The most pressing problem facing Baldur's Gate is the threat of the Supreme God. This rapidly expanding force has established an army and has the tendency to sweep across the Sword Coast, and Baldur's Gate is the first to bear the brunt. "

The duchess gestured for him to continue his discussion with a warm smile.

"According to the intelligence we have, the newly-emerged Gotash is the Supreme God's internal agent in the city. Duke Ravengaardeau has been secretly controlled by him.

"In addition to Gotash, there is also a shape-shifter named Orin. She will carry out murderous activities in the city in the name of the Supreme God and constantly publicize the threat of the Supreme God.

"When people in the city are panicked, Gotash can win over the support of more nobles and citizens. He will ascend to the position of High Duke, and Baldur's Gate will fall."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Destroy Gotash and Orin, and destroy the Supreme God."

Belina nodded, "This is a city full of troubles. But every time it is crumbling, heroes will stand up. Tell me, church member, why did you choose to be an enemy of the Supreme God?"

"Because it is just an insignificant enemy." Linde said truthfully.

The Duchess was speechless.

She hesitated for a while before saying: "Do you think a 'false god' is too insignificant? But its belief is widely spread in the Sword Coast, and its believers are increasing day by day. Even if it is not a true god, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Yours The name shouldn’t be Elminster or Cyric or Midnight or Kelemvor. I really don’t know who gave you the confidence.”

Belina said, with a look of disinterest already appearing on her face. This conversation was almost over. The patience of big people was not infinite. On the contrary, they were often too eager to reach conclusions.

Until now, Belina has not taken the initiative to ask the names of the adventurers, which shows the true attitude hidden under the friendly appearance.

The teammates were secretly worried.

Lind explained warmly: "All fear comes from the unknown. You know only a little about the Supreme God, so you will regard it as a false god. The truth is simple, it is a mind flayer mastermind."

The Duchess perked up and said, "Tell me more about it."

So Linde briefly described the adventure along the way.

In the room, the duchess's attendants all looked shocked and exchanged excited looks with each other.

"I see, it makes sense. Ravengard's political advisor asked me for help last night. She said in the letter that Duke Gao himself has now become an empty shell, without his own spiritual will. He certainly has not been normal since his return from Eltoril."

Belina lowered her head in thought, her face twitching slightly, "The Mind Flayer... is really a terrifying creature. It can unknowingly distort people's minds and consciousness... Ugh, vomit! vomit -" She suddenly felt nauseated. , slipped from the chair very uncontrollably, the whole person's nerve function became disordered, and his limbs began to twitch.

The maid exclaimed: "Madam!" She hurriedly put the black note on the square table into Belina's hand.

The silver tree on the cover of the black book gave off a faint light, triggering a soothing spell. Belina was enveloped in the dim light and quickly calmed down.

"I'm sorry. I let you see a lady lose her temper. Please don't have nightmares about it tonight."

Linde asked: "Did you redeem Occlumency?"

Belina looked surprised: "Is it obvious?"

"When you mentioned the mind flayer, you had physical disgust. You must have been in direct contact with this creature and been poisoned by it. The candle offering journey on the road to silver forging is a baptism for the spirit, allowing you to learn from it. Break free from mind control.

"But you should also know that Occlumency can only help you isolate psychic trauma, but it cannot prevent the prying eyes of mind flayers. They are the true masters of the spiritual realm."

"It's already very good." The duchess's face was solemn, "I don't think I can meet it again. You should also be careful, that mind flayer calls himself the 'monarch' and is a complete careerist."

The adventurers looked extremely strange.

Constantine suddenly said: "It's me, Belina. I'm back." (End of Chapter)
