Sword and Magic and Taxi

Barbara classified Zhao Mai's caution as stingy, wrinkling her nose and sulking along the way. "Here, we have finally arrived at the home of a witch who can't be a swordsman. Welcome!"

　　"" turned a bend from the broken road and drove onto a good gravel road nearby, and a castle manor was not far away. The castle is in a difficult terrain, built on a small hill, and backed by a steep mountain. Two tall castle towers guard the only way up the mountain, and a suspension bridge that can be raised over the artificially dug trench. There are no guards on the tower, but there are many sculptures of different shapes. The horrible shape of the teeth and claws makes Zhao Mai easy to think of a gargoyle. Perhaps when they are invaded, they will come alive and shred any fools who dare to attack.

　　 If you look over the tower, you will hit the gray castle wall, and the owner's residence is hidden behind the thick and solid wall, only barely revealing a green spire. "Grandpa grandfather usually lives there. He is too old and is always worried that someone will harm him. It is troublesome to get in and out of the castle, and there are only house elves and grandma to take care of him. He always jokingly said that anyway, he I can't die, I don't need to deliver food. But no one dares to take it seriously." Barbara let the car move eastward toward a three-story manor house. "Usually we live in the manor, where activities are more convenient."

　　The gray masonry walls are covered with vines, and winter snow is covered with white color. Except for the roads used by vehicles, the surrounding trees, shrubs, grasslands and lakes are all covered in silver, making them holy and enchanting. From afar, Zhao Mai saw servants in black tuxedos and white dresses waiting in front of the gate. The gardener in khaki overalls was carrying vegetables picked from the greenhouse, walking through the snow-covered grassland towards the kitchen. Away. There are more than twenty chimneys in the whole big house, half of which are filled with smoky smoke, which must be warm and comfortable.

　　 "Welcome the third lady back home and welcome the guests. Where is the luggage, please leave it to us so that I can move to the room?"

"It's been a long time since Abel! I only have a small box with secret things inside. Please be careful to put it in my room." Barbara winked playfully: "I'll introduce you, this is me in Hogg Watts’ classmate Mike Longhou and his friend Dojian, come to spend Christmas with us!"

　　 "On behalf of the owner who has not returned from the hunt, welcome everyone to Leme Castle, please come in quickly."

"Dad went hunting again, what about Grandpa? If Grandpa Grandpa knows about it, they should be criticized again." Barbara shook her head without stopping, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "How cute are those wild animals," It's not that there is no special breeding at home, there is no shortage of food, why do you want to hunt?"

Abel smiled and said: "The third lady is the best. As far as I know, they are not hunting for the sake of killing. They just go for a walk and discuss some things. The house is going to be lively in these two days. The others will be together in these two days. Oh, yes, besides Mr. Mike, there is a guest in the manor, which was brought by your father."

　　 "My dad? Can the grandfather of those people he know bring it back?" Barbara glanced at Zhao Mai, and finally she was merciful and did not continue. "Oh, Mike is here to visit Grandpa Grandpa. I have agreed. You can arrange it."

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

"He saved my life first, and then you know who I am by hearing my name, and he made the request. And I can't say nothing, right?" Barbara put the small box in Abel's hand: "This Leave the matter to you. If you can’t do it, I’ll take care of it myself.”

　　 "Don't! I'll make arrangements." Abel took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "I will at least not burn the kitchen and let everyone eat cold food for more than a week."

　　 "Hey, I was young then!" After Barbara finished speaking, she took Zhao Mai's arm: "Go, I will take you to the guest room, you will live there this time! Then I will show you a tour!"

　　 Abel watched Barbara's move to pull Zhao Mai, raised his eyebrows, and went busy humming a happy little tune. Anyway, the other guest is also going to meet the old host, and just arrange it together, which is actually not troublesome.

　　 Barbara, who came back home, was like a pony with springs installed, running around excitedly, and soon after leaving Zhao Mai aside, 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. The castle is full of magic circles. The defense is so tightly guarded. I didn't dare to go there." Xiaohua said to Zhao Mai: "As soon as I approached there, I felt like I was being stared at by locust swarms."

　　 As a tree, being stared at by a swarm of locusts is definitely the most terrifying feeling. "Actually, the manor here is also very tightly guarded. Maybe you didn't notice that every painting on the wall is actually alive, just like Hogwarts. It's just that they pretend not to move, just spy on it. The paintings in the guest rooms are just decorations. If they are for surveillance, it would be unkind."

　　 "I haven't found this, but the servants here are not completely pure humans. The natural force on them is rather weird. They should be mixed with other creatures. I can't tell what they are, but they are definitely unnatural."

"Nicholas Flammel is a famous alchemist, maybe it has something to do with alchemy. The natural force atmosphere in this room is more rigid than Hogwarts's, making people uncomfortable." Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua : "You can take care of me~www.ltnovel.com~ I will contact Diana."

　　 "Well, don't play outside for too long." Xiao Hua waved her hand, and then saw Zhao Mai disappear from her front with a whistle, walking away in the green dream.

　　 "What can I look after? Obviously you don't want to disturb me!" Xiao Hua strolled in the green dreamland, crossing walls and corridors, until she saw a familiar back.

　　 "Hey, why is he here?" Xiao Hua flew over lightly and went around to take a look. It was exactly the same as her guess. Gellert Grandvaux was sitting comfortably in a recliner with his eyes closed and rested.

　　 It seems that the green dream caused a little energy fluctuation, and Grandvaux's eyes trembled under his eyelids. With a wave of his hand, a purifying energy flooded the room, and Xiao Hua was directly driven out of the green dream. She condensed her body next to the flowerpot again, with a look of uncertainty on her face, as if she had seen something terrifying. She took a few deep breaths, then reentered the green dream, and chased Zhao Mai.

　　 Grindelwald still closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, as if listening to the sounds around him. A quiet, satisfying him. With a slight smile, he continued to cultivate his spirit and prepare for meeting the master alchemist.
