Chapter 110 Stonehenge
"Hello, sir, madam, the tickets are 34 pounds per person, and the total is [-] pounds for two people. If you are willing to pay an extra seven pounds, we can give you a commemorative picture book and a tour map."
In front of the gate pavilion of the scenic spot, the female conductor, who looked like she was working part-study, had a polite smile on her chubby face, and said to Amosta and Vitia who were walking together.
The sunlight in Xifeng hit Amosta's face, he glanced at Vitia who was unmoved, seeing that this woman didn't seem to have any intention of paying at all, after curling his lips, he took out a few coins from his pocket. A note was handed over.
Now, two weeks have passed since Amosta returned to the orphanage, the longest he has spent there since graduating, not only to fulfill his promise to little Hammer, It was also because he needed a little time to think about whether he should agree to the request of the druid priestess.
After a period of difficult choices, in the end, Amosta agreed.
It's not because of the generous rewards that Vitia can provide. In fact, these druids who have been driven around by the Holy See like rabbits for centuries are a group of "poor ghosts". It may not add up to Amostado.
There are two reasons for his promise. First, Merlin's ruins are an irresistible temptation for any wizard or Muggle. Even if Dumbledore knew the news, he probably wouldn't mind going there himself. Find out, although Amosta still doesn't know what is going on with the 'Place of Merlin's Eternal Rest' that the priestess called.
Second, Amosta has always been very concerned about the divination results of the last druid priests before their death. Whether it is the Holy See or the Druids, they are all counted as religious forces. I have dealt with many people, but I can't figure out why an orthodox wizard like myself would be involved.
However, in the deepest part of his heart, Amosta faintly felt that there might be some connection with his identity as a time traveler.
Now is the summer vacation time, the famous Muggle tourist area in the UK, Stonehenge Park on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire is full of people, and there are moving figures everywhere. In the previous life, Amo Star often experienced it, but this was the first time since he came to the wizarding world.
In the crowd, Amosta, who was meditating, suddenly felt a coolness in his arms, and came back to his senses, only to find that Vitia was squeezed into his arms by the crowd.
Feeling the tightness of his chest and the slightly stiff back, Amosta took a deep breath, and a special fresh breath accurately entered his nostrils, which made his heart speed up unconsciously, and his consciousness also appeared. There was a momentary trance.
"Sorry, Mr. Blaine--"
In the midst of the commotion, Vitya's cold voice was like a basin of cold water extinguishing the feeling of strangeness that would inevitably arise in Amosta's heart. He hooked his fingers in the pocket of his jeans, and put the words of the two people talking together. The movement was blocked.
"Is this the Merlin ruins you mentioned?"
Amosta let out a heavy breath and said with a smile,
"Merlin built himself into a stone before he died? No wonder no one has been able to find his sleeping place for more than 1000 years."
Following the flow of people, two people stood outside a circle of iron railings painted with white paint. Not far away, a Muggle tour guide was educating a circle of middle school students about the origin of Stonehenge.
"--Salisbury Stone Ring, Ring Stone, Sun Temple, Prehistoric Stone Table, in different historical periods, Stonehenge has different names, after the identification of scientists, it is generally believed that they were built in 2000 BC It was built around [-], and at present, scientists are still inconclusive about how the ancient ancestors who were still in the Stone Age and the Bronze Age were able to build such a magnificent stone circle under the condition of extremely backward productivity."
"Sir, what are people building it for?"
A Muggle middle school student raised his right hand and asked, that earnest gesture made Amosta smile. He remembered Hermione Granger who was rushing to answer questions in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and he didn't know this How the little witch will feel after seeing Gilderoy Lockhart's report.
"Good question—"
Because of the noise all around, the male Muggle guide had to yell at the top of his voice for the students to hear him,
"It is believed that the ancient ancestors built it related to astronomical observations - the main axis of Stonehenge, the ancient road leading to the stone pillars, and the rising sun in the morning of the summer solstice are on the same line;
In addition, the line connecting two stones points to the direction of the winter solstice sunset.Therefore, people speculate that this was probably built by ancient humans for observing astronomical phenomena, and it can be regarded as the earliest prototype of an observatory! "
"The purpose of the founders of the ancient Druids to build it was not only to use the power of Stonehenge for star divination, but also to absorb magic power from outside the world."
"Drain the magic power outside the world?"
In the magic world, there is a fair opinion on the builder of Stonehenge and its purpose, but what Vitia said made Amosta frowned,
"what does that mean?"
Wearing a white floral dress and a straw hat, Vitia closed her mouth again. She stared silently at the door made of several boulders. For some reason, there was a faint air of resistance on her body.
Amosta stared thoughtfully, and after a while, suddenly asked,
"Although I don't know what is the relationship between this Stonehenge and the ruins you mentioned, but you must have been inside many times, right?"
"You are very wise, Mr. Blaine."
The beautiful and moving appearance will get more attention no matter where it is.
Many of the tourists around secretly set their eyes on Vitia in front of the white railing, but Amosta, who was walking with her, didn't feel a little envied, but rather bad, because He finally found a wizard who, apart from Snape and Dumbledore, had a level of Occlumency comparable to his own.
In the following time, the two of them did not communicate much, but followed the team of Muggle tourists to visit this magnificent Stonehenge. Amosta tried to observe this Stonehenge from a different perspective, but Faintly discovered that the magic power evenly distributed in the void was distorted in this space.
According to common sense, this situation means that there is a high concentration of magic power nodes, but no matter how Amosta looks at it, those few stones are just ordinary big stones, and there is nothing special about them.
In the southeast sky, a round of moon shadow has leaped over the horizon of the plain. Amosta and Vitia had dinner at a nearby Muggle restaurant. They set up a tent on the lawn together. Both of them are good at this field. They didn't use magic, and they easily set up a dome tent.
"When do we need to wait?"
Facing the undulating 'green waves' on the plain, Amosta, who had been silent for a long time, turned his head and asked.
For some reason, he had a premonition that something terrible would happen in the next exploration. However, this druid priestess seemed very taboo to mention things in the ruins. Whenever Amosta casually mentioned things, she would Immediately fell silent and kept silent.
There were peeping eyes from many places in the tent that was flickering with lights and flames all around. Those Muggle men quietly looked at Vitia standing side by side with Amosta, who was more like an oriental woman, unconsciously, Gradually, he became obsessed with her refined temperament.
Two young men stood up among the Muggles who had a group meal. From the direction they were walking, they seemed to be heading towards Vitya.
However, before they approached, they were forced back by the intimidation in Amosta's vigilant eyes, and turned away with a smile.
"Better wait until the Muggles rest, Mr Blaine, we'll make some noise later—"
