Chapter 220 Hogsmeade, the center of the wizarding world

"So, what is your answer?"

The hazy figure asked in a low voice.

The voice was like thunder, and the outline flickered in the air, as if it would disappear in the next moment.

Nick, who was covered with a black velvet curtain, was silent for a moment.

Then he took off his hat with feathers and bowed, "I choose to be loyal to you!"

"Then let me see the potential of ghosts." As soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared.

A magic circle of light appeared on Nick's forehead.

The vast light energy enveloped him, and while his heart was connected to the big tree in the forbidden forest that was between existence and non-existence, his pearly white and transparent body began to have color.

The first moment he had the color of a living person, he did not choose to show off at the Deathday party where only a few Hogwarts ghosts were present.

The wonderful body that was in harmony with magic, between life and death, and accumulated a lot of time made him use the strange energy in his body like an arm.

The skin connecting the neck and the head flashed with an electric spark and broke automatically.

Almost headless super evolution - Headless Nick.

The memory of being rejected by the headless hunter team came to mind.

[We can only accept hunters whose heads are separated from their bodies. You will fully realize that if this is not the case, members will not be able to participate in hunter team activities such as horseback head tricks and headers.

Therefore, I am very sorry to inform you that you do not meet our requirements.

With regards, Sir Patrick Dilani Podmore]

"Patrick," headless Nick hugged his head to his waist, his face full of pride, "see how you can refuse me!"

"But. Now what I need to do is to promote this contract among the ghosts of Hogwarts."

"Then I can have the power to open the door to ghosts from the outside."

"I can't wait to see your stupid face!"

Nick is naturally not a fool who promotes the contract indiscriminately in the college regardless of the risk to the school.

As the Gryffindor resident ghost, he has a qualified sense of responsibility.

Hogwarts has been changing rapidly recently, and their ghosts are also very aware of it.

The sea appeared at the edge of Hogsmeade Village.

A floating island that replicated Diagon Alley in a one-to-one scale also appeared not far away.

There were a large number of shops inside.

Many of them were well-known and could be named.

It was said that the Ministry of Magic would also move here.

And the role of that contract was to make this world bigger and more stable.

For the ghosts themselves, there were also countless advantages.

They could feel body temperature again, and could touch other substances like living people, and their long-forgotten physiological instincts also reappeared.

Although they could not excrete, feel hunger, illness, and death.

But they could eat, mate, and kiss as if they were alive.

The figure behind the contract was not a stranger to them either.

It was the savior who protected them from the deep and gloomy evil power and the savior who lost himself in the evil spirit.

In this case, what reason did he have to refuse.

——

After the Halloween party, overnight, it seemed as if all the ghosts disappeared.

All the professors kept silent about this, with mysterious smiles on their faces.

But thinking of the upcoming study day and the long-lost textbook homework, some carefree students gave up their worries.

Choose to go shopping in Hogsmeade on the last day.

Now Hogsmeade is simply the center of the magic world.

On the sea not far away, in addition to the Diagon Alley that has moved here, there are countless exotic shops.

The famous Blind Pig Bar in the American magic world has also opened a branch here.

The location of this dilapidated, low-rise underground bar is also unique.

They chose the cracks under the rocks of the mountains outside the village of Hogsmeade, and the dilapidated and dark style of the Blind Pig Bar was well inherited.

The walls are also covered with wanted posters of wizard criminals, and even the bar owner is still a goblin.

But unfortunately, like the Pig's Head Bar, this place can no longer gather male and female wizard criminals, which greatly reduces the excitement of visiting here.

The combination that constitutes the eerie and joyful atmosphere is only dirty and dilapidated.

However, the band of goblin musicians, the special gurgling liquor and boom provided by the house elves, and the goblin specialties make this place full of another exotic atmosphere.

For Bagel, it was like accidentally visiting a halal canteen while visiting a canteen.

But for British wizards living in the conservative and exclusive British magic world, this is a good supplement to get to know another race.

So, in addition to a large number of Gringotts goblin employees wearing scarlet and gold uniforms, there are also many wizard customers.

From time to time, you can hear wizards and goblins arguing about their ideas about inheritance of property.

Many young wizards learned for the first time that goblins believe that the legitimate owner of any thing is its maker, not the buyer.

In the eyes of goblins, everything made by goblins should belong to them.

Even if it is purchased, goblins believe that it is rented by the payer.

So when wizards pass on their property to the next generation normally, goblins will be dissatisfied because of the goblin-made things inside.

They thought it was a shameless act that was no better than stealing.

However, for Ron, these contents just passed by his ears.

What he cared about was the goblins' perfect combination of raw meat, roots and various fungi.

It was the first time he knew that raw meat could be so delicious.

The unique magic of goblins is displayed in every aspect of their lives.

Even cooking is no exception.

The vitality of the animal when it is slaughtered is perfectly preserved in the bloody meat.

Plant rhizomes and fungi are also full of chaotic vitality.

Put them into your mouth, and you can feel the food dancing inside, and the original flavors of spices and ingredients bursting and colliding in it.

There is no greasy and nauseating feeling that you would experience when eating raw food.

For Hagrid, he felt included here.

As a bar run by goblins, all kinds of 'people' gather here.

Their relationship with other 'people' is much better than that of wizards.

Just like once, Burdock Muldoon, the fourteenth-century Speaker of the Wizarding Council (the Wizarding Council was the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic), stipulated that any member of the wizarding world who walks on two legs is thus granted the status of "person". The goblins can bring in legions of club-wielding trolls looking for children to eat, like banshees.

There are also various ‘people’ gathered in the Blind Pig Bar.

It can be said that except for the proud centaur and the mermaid who cannot go ashore, all other 'people' can be found in the bar.

It also includes several rare gentle giants.

For the first time in the bar, Hagrid didn't feel inferior to his tall figure.

He was also particularly surprised that there was even a Pukechi (a magical race with gray skin, long ears, about 2 to 3 feet tall, often carrying a bow on his back, and hunting with poisonous arrows) in the bar. A distant relative of the European leprechaun).

It's the same as finding a centaur in a bar.

You must know that they have never liked humans. They can only be found in Ilvermorny Magic School engaged in security and maintenance services.

This is also because of the establishment of Ilvermorny Magic School, in which a man named William Pukechi played a very important role, and thus regarded this school as an industry of their race.

But this bar.

In short, the existence of the World Tree and this world has attracted all kinds of aliens.

The Ministry of Magic also turns a blind eye to the smuggling of goblins.

After all, this is American Leprechaun.

Diplomacy is no small matter.

What's more, the World Tree didn't reject it either.

But only Bajir knows why.

The positive pollution of light energy power will have shortcomings such as "Mother-like" for human beings, loving peace, and hating the development of military and technological forces.

It's even more outrageous than the plasma spark tower in the Kingdom of Light. It's full of mental pollution and has little impact on the evolution of life itself.

However, this is undoubtedly a good medicine for many magical creatures with chaotic minds and humanoids whose cruel nature has always overwhelmed their humanity.

Those who have the ability to use intelligence and language, but because they cannot restrain their ferocious nature and try to devour any life that comes close to them, are not classified as "human", such as the Acromantula and the Manticore. This is the type of pollution. beneficiary.

They should have been expelled from the world, but they were able to remain in the Forbidden Forest.

The Sphinx, who obviously likes riddles and puzzles, but cannot control his desire to commit violence when others give wrong answers, has also begun to develop sustainably, instead of directly eating the person who answers the question.

For those human beings who have their own culture but are controlled by instinct.

After the emergence of human nature, the magic performed by instinct also began to become complicated.

Take Pukechi as an example, although they have powerful magic.

But their nature makes them prefer to use it as a prank, and they prefer to use bows and arrows against their enemies.

Just like Loki in Marvel, who is obviously full of spells, but likes to stab people with a knife.

But the radiation of light energy changes this.

They began to evolve, or atavize, the descriptions in the folktales of the North American Natives, the Wapano people.

The nose, ears, and fingers begin to enlarge.

Gray, smooth skin will begin to glow.

The ability to suddenly disappear and appear, originally used for mischief and hunting, is more flexible and can even be used to travel.

In Bagir's future vision, they also have the ability to transform or partially transform into a porcupine or puma, as well as the ability to set fire.

But these effects are negligible to the little wizards attending Hogwarts.

The protection of the covenant kept them from contamination.

Rather than going to the extreme, sealing away all magic that is cast with malicious intent.

Adult wizards have their own three views, and their magic power will become more stable after their bodies mature. As a kind of anchor, they will not be affected by pollution.

This is why seventh-grade students are allowed to learn the evil and profound black magic in the forbidden area.

Mastering advanced black magic and white magic in advance is actually not a good thing for the little wizard.

In general, if adult wizards do not delve into the power of light, they will at most find it easier to cast magic related to healing and protection.

However, as a political system of the Ministry of Magic, some kind and righteous officials and people are a better choice.

Just like the Patronus Charm that can release a physical Patronus, only wizards can become senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Dumbledore was very excited when he noticed the influence of light energy.

"Gettler! Do you know what I saw?"

In the office, he couldn't stop pacing back and forth.

Opposite him, the first-generation Dark Lord who made the wizarding world fearful, Gertler Grindelwald, was wearing childish pajamas and yawning.

Dumbledore was not swayed by his lover's attitude, "This means that a perfect society will emerge."

"As long as this energy is imparted to everyone, utopia is not a dream."

Grindelwald stretched, "Albus, didn't you notice?"

"Even Muggles and Squibs can master this kind of energy."

"Too many magical people that the Ministry of Magic is not ready to manage."

"Management?" Dumbledore was too excited to react for a moment, "Why management?"

"They have their own increases."

"And isn't that a good thing? Everyone can do magic."

"Wizards are not special."

"It's just a group that's better at magic."

"He was born from an ordinary ethnic group."

"When everyone is a good person, everything will develop for the better."

"You," Grindelwald was depressed and slapped his forehead heavily with his right hand, "good people can also be xenophobic."

"Didn't you secretly go to the Blind Pig Bar to observe? They just don't like to use violence anymore, but those who hate humans still hate humans."

"If this is what you think, I'm worried that we wizards will be kicked out of this world when we wake up one day."

"They will not kill, but this world will be occupied by those magical Muggle governments, and wizards will not be allowed to enter."

"I can see this future."

The High Ear Tribe and the Evil Tribe, who were also expelled by the Long-Ear Tribe, wanted to praise Grindelwald.

If only they could hear Grindelwald.

Bagir thinks so.

He spread everything to the group.

May took the lead and said, "This Grindelwald deserves to be the dark wizard known as the Dark Lord."

"If he were in our world, he would definitely be the most evil evil clan."

"If the power of light energy really spreads throughout the world, wouldn't we, the Long-eared tribe, be the best example?"

Madison scoffed: "The best example indeed."

"It was repeatedly invaded by the Xie Dong tribe, and the Gao Er tribe, who had made outstanding achievements, was even exiled."

"Don't you think what Grindelwald said is very familiar?"

Mei: "That's the reason for the evil power."

"It was the Xie Dong tribe who took the lead in creating the Dark Demon God with the intention of ruling the moon."

Zoe: “Didn’t you watch the theater version?”

"In the theatrical version, the history told by the Gaoer tribe is probably more believable."

"You were the first to send troops to attack the Xedong tribe, because they created the huge Demon King and were afraid of the power of the Xedong tribe."

"Even if the fighting lasts for a hundred years, you will not stop."

"Until they are expelled beyond the moon by you."

May: "We just strike first."

"Think about it, if you didn't want to rule the Holy Land Luna, why did you create such a big Demon King?"

Sophie: "But, after the Xie Dong tribe found a base and developed so powerfully."

"Didn't I just take revenge on you once?"

"The following two, and now there is one next year. The current one is Yagulaman colluding with the three leaders of the Evil Tribe to establish another country."

"Next year's will also be a spontaneous act by a prince and two men."

"They probably just like strong power by nature."

"Just like the students in our evil academy."
