The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 101 The Banquet of the Dead

"I think we'd better see if there are any acquaintances, no, familiar ghosts." Ryan said to Hermione.Because standing at the door like this all the time seems a bit silly.

Soon they see a familiar ghost: the fat Hufflepuff monk, chatting with a knight with an arrow in his forehead.

After seeing Ryan and the others, the fat monk quickly floated over and said to Ryan. "I heard from Nick that you helped him a lot at this banquet, so as a member of Hogwarts, I also want to thank you."

The fat monk was about to leave after thanking him. Suddenly, Ryan and Hermione looked at the ghosts on the field in a daze, patted their foreheads and floated back, saying: "I don't think you may know everyone, let me introduce you to some ghosts." Interesting person."

After finishing speaking, he brought Ryan and Hermione to the Arrowed Knight who was talking to him just now, and then introduced: "His name is Earl the Brave, and he held a stronghold for three days during the first goblin rebellion until reinforcements arrived. But when he was about to win, he was assassinated by a goblin crossbowman during the pursuit."

"Wait, I know you." Hermione said: "I even introduced you on the Magician, thinking that you are the perfect embodiment of the bravery and tenacity of the wizards at that time."

"Really?" The ghost knight touched the arrow on his head subconsciously, "Is it true that everyone knows about me? That's great, after all, I have been living in an abandoned castle in Wales, and there is no news Unintelligible."

Then the fat monk took them to introduce several ghosts, all of whom had participated in some major historical events during their lifetime, and even one or two were key figures in historical events like Earl.

They were also very interested in wizards like Hermione who cared about their great achievements during their lifetime, and they began to chatter around Hermione.And Hermione also felt very happy to get the first-hand historical materials up close, and even took out the paper and notebook from her arms to record something.

At this time, Ryan, who was left out in the cold, began to look around boredly. He saw a long table at the other end of the classroom, covered with a black velvet tablecloth.

Dozens of plates were neatly placed on the table, and each plate was covered by a silver cover.It looks like Nick is going to surprise everyone at the end.

A few ghosts stood by the table looking at the plates curiously, and discussing why Nick had to cover them.After all, the Banquet of Ghosts had never done this before.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from under the table: "Ha, Hogwarts kid. What are you doing here?"

It turned out to be Peeves, the only colored one among all the ghosts.

"I did Nick a favor so he invited me to the party."

"I think you're a bit bored at this party, so let me entertain you." With that, Peeves grabbed a corner of the tablecloth, looking like he wanted to knock everything to the ground.

But just when Pippi was about to pull the tablecloth, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "What, interesting thing, can you tell me what it is?"

Peeves froze all at once.Then tremblingly said: "My lord, my lord. I didn't do anything, believe me."

Bloody Barrow grabbed Peeves by the neck, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Finally found you, Nick, please let me watch you today. After all, today is his big day, he doesn't want you Ruined his party. And I don't want you to embarrass us at Hogwarts. Now, you sit with me over there."

After finishing speaking, Barrow left with a frustrated Peeves. At this moment, Nick got out from the crowd: "It seems that your companion likes this party as much as you do."

Ryan followed the direction of Nick's finger, watching Hermione, who turned into a reporter, taking notes in a notebook, surrounded by a circle of ghosts, and each ghost looked happy.

"It's really interesting." Ryan's words were not perfunctory, because this time he saw so many ghosts in one breath, and observing this species hovering on the verge of death was very helpful for him to improve the level of life magic he mastered.

"Okay, I think it's time for me to give a speech, see you later." Nick said and floated onto the stage.

As soon as Nick stood on the platform, he heard a hunting horn.Twenty ghostly horses galloped from the wall, each with a headless rider on top.All attention is drawn to them.

The horses ran into the middle of the dance floor, the leader riding a headless horseman with his head under his arm.Then he jumped off his horse and raised his head high to observe the people on the field, which naturally attracted cheers from the ghosts on the field.

When he saw Nick again, he thrust his head up his neck and walked up to Nick and said, "Nick! How are you? Is the head still hanging there?"

Nick took off his head, which caused another exclamation from the field.He held his head in one hand, and patted the headless horseman's shoulder with the other, laughingly said: "Thank you for your kind words, now you should not be able to stop me from joining the headless hunter team, Patrick."

Patrick should be Nick's old opponent, and he came this time with the goal of smashing the field.As a result, it was a bad start, and the place that could attack Nick the most before was completely cracked by Nick.

After seeing his centuries-old rival deflated, Nick strode up to the podium and began his speech.

After being frustrated for a while, Patrick stood up and continued to add trouble to his old opponent.He and the rest of the Headless Hunter team played a sort of headball game, and everyone turned to watch.It seems that the days of ghosts should be quite boring, so the performance-rich movement like the headless hunters is easy to be welcomed by everyone.

Nick tried to get the audience's attention back, but his dry speech certainly wasn't as interesting as flying his head around.

At this time, Ryan ran up to the rostrum and whispered to Nick, "Sir, let's have dinner."

"Yes, yes, how did I forget that?" Nick suddenly realized and gestured to the bloody Baron in the audience, who immediately lowered his head and said something to Peeves.

Peeves waved his hand relentlessly, and the silver lids covering the plates on the dining table flew up and piled up on the side of the table.

Soon, an ethereal smell that was very different from the smell of ordinary food permeated the underground classroom.Many ghosts were attracted near the dining table.It's just that all the ghosts couldn't figure out what was on the table, so they could only stand awkwardly by the table.

Ryan saw that under Hermione's instigation, Earl, who had been shot in the head, first reached out and took a large piece of meat from the roast whole lamb in the soul state on the table and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the meat was in his mouth, Earl's expression froze, and then he began to stuff the meat into his mouth frantically.

The movement here also attracted other ghosts, and soon the dining table was filled with ghosts who came to eat.Nick held a bucket of wine under his arm and toasted the people at the table one by one in small glasses.

After Patrick found out that no one was watching them, he acted awkwardly for a while, and then joined the team of ghosts scrambling for food at the table.

It seems that the law of true fragrance cannot escape in any world.
