Hogwarts: more magic than magic

Chapter 118 Conversation
Keiz found a very strange thing, he didn't find the castle on the map!
You must know that the village next to the castle is clearly marked on the map, and the hillside where the castle stands is also on the map, but there is no mark on it, it is just an open space.

This is a very noteworthy thing. This map was distributed by people from the Ministry of Magic. Although it is not known when it was drawn, it is only 20 years old depending on the material of the parchment.

Judging from the architectural style and the wear and tear of the interior decoration, the castle must have a history of at least several hundred years, which means that the drawing time of the map will never exceed the establishment time of the castle.

Keiz looked up at Terry next to him, "Mr. Terry! The map that the Ministry of Magic gave me didn't show the location of this castle. Is it marked on your map?"

Terry paused for a moment as he wiped the long sword, and replied in a serious voice, "Neither do we have any!
Someone discovered the problem you mentioned before. I asked Boss Blanca, and she said that she also discovered it by coincidence.

We also thought it was weird at first, but after the strange wind outside became stronger and stronger, everyone had to come in to avoid it. "

"Isn't there?" Then, if this is the case, why the castle is not marked on the map is a big problem!
Keiz raised his head to re-evaluate the indoor environment with the light from the fluorescent bottles hanging in all directions of the room, and he asked in a low voice. "Is there anything unusual here?"

Terry didn't despise him because of his young age, and replied cautiously.

"It is true that nothing unusual happened during this period, but we did not relax our vigilance, and we will keep two people on guard during the rest.

But after staying here for almost a day, there was no problem, so no one cared. "

"Was anyone living here when you came here?"

"There is no one. It was already empty when we came. The original residents seemed to have moved out before the mutation, and it seems that the time to move away will not be too long from now."

Keiz frowned and thought silently. "Moved away not long ago? Such a coincidence?"

Seeing that he didn't continue to ask questions, Terry continued to talk about his guess.

"If it weren't for the fact that there was really no place for people to stay outside, I wouldn't have thought of coming in here, and I knew it wasn't a good place.

I think maybe the wizards have hidden it with some weird spell before, who knows?
Those proud and lonely wizards always like to do that, don't they? ——to cover up some shady secret experiments.

It may also be that they have long expected such a change in this secret realm and prepared such a refuge, so this place still stands under the blowing of the strange wind!
Of course, this place may also be a trap of the mastermind behind the scenes, trying to gather us here, and then catch us all..."

Terry spoke with a gloomy expression. He seemed to have some opinions on wizards. His words were full of various conspiracy theories and his own speculations.

As a member of the wizard, although Chiz was a little unhappy after hearing his groundless speculation, he had to admit that it was possible, and the speculation he said was very likely, so he continued to ask.

"Did you find any information about the original owner of the castle when you searched the castle?"

"Not at all! We searched every inch of this castle, and there is nothing here that can reveal the original owner's information."

"Have you ever been in the nearby village?" Seeing that he couldn't find any valid information about the castle, Qiz brought the topic to the dilapidated village next to him.

"How do you know there is a village next to it? Did you get close to it when you came here? Didn't a large number of monsters attack you there?" Terry didn't answer his question immediately, but asked a series of questions with some concern.

Keiz didn't expect that he would get so excited just by talking about the village, and wrinkled his nose. He couldn't say that he saw there with a wide field of vision, so he slightly revised his statement.

"Yeah! When I came here, I almost broke in. When I passed by, it was full of monsters, but they were not attacked. The monsters all huddled inside to avoid the strange wind.

And most of the buildings inside have been blown into ruins!
It seems that you are very worried about the situation over there, what's going on there? "

Terry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "Do you remember the monster spawn point they mentioned before you came in? There is one in that village, and there is nothing but monsters there. We haven't gone in. We just walked around and were almost surrounded by monsters.

But the boss went in and took a look around, but she didn't seem to find anything special.

We have been worried that the monsters over there will rush out to surround this place, and by then, everyone inside will be unable to escape.That's why I'm very resistant to staying here and sheltering from the wind. "

"Is that so?" Qiz nodded, "For a short time, there should be no need to worry. When I was outside, I saw these monsters were also very afraid of the strange wind. When they were exposed to the strange wind, they suffered more damage than us. Almost all the black mud monsters alone died when they were blown.

So they are all hiding in the ruins in a group now. I think if the strange wind doesn't stop, they shouldn't attack here. "

Terry stood up abruptly, and Keiz couldn't see the expression on his face behind the mask, but he could still see the anxiety that never dissipated from his frown. "I'm still a little worried. Before you came back, we sent a group of people out to patrol around, just to prevent monsters from suddenly rushing out of the ruins to besiege here."

"Is it Teresa and the others?" Keiz asked subconsciously.

Terry was very surprised, "How do you know? Did you see them just now? No way! They came back long before you came."

Qiz immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth. Fortunately, there was a mask to cover it so that his expression would not be too awkward. "Actually, I also heard their movements and followed them to find this place."

He made random remarks to cover up the fact that he was able to see his surroundings clearly from the outside environment.

"Is that so? Then you are really lucky." Terry patted him on the shoulder again and did not continue to ask.

"Kid, you continue to rest. I have to take two more people to see the village you mentioned. It is not so reassuring to have such a time bomb next to it."

After speaking, he left the castle with the two of them.
