I, Hogwarts Second Week
Chapter 560: A Show of Strength
No, buddy, just a few dishes! Drink like this?
Owen really couldn't understand why the goblin in front of him dared to talk to him with such eyes.
Without thinking, he suddenly stood up, as fast as the wind, raised his foot, and was kicked away by the goblin.
The meaty figure flew out like a cannonball, hit the doorpost of the tavern, and then fell to the ground, bouncing twice.
"How dare cats and dogs touch their noses and faces."
Irving felt relieved, but he had been too depressed these days.
And since his strength was exposed, few people despised him. This kind of slap in the face happens less often.
Sometimes he feels that he has changed so much. This may have something to do with Miss Granger. Staying with her for a long time has affected him.
But it is more likely because he has absorbed the remaining ancient magic power of the foreign gods in the God's Grant Tower, which makes him think less and less of things in human terms. He has become more and more indifferent, as if there is nothing in this world worthy of his attention.
"Owen, what are you doing?" Hermione exclaimed, but he raised his hand to stop her. Then Owen picked up the meat ball on the ground, looked at the goblin who was vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a depressed expression: "Begging for help."
Then he threw it to the ground hard.
"I find that I am becoming more and more kind--Avada would have passed by before."
"puff!"
The goblin lying on the ground like a dead dog spit out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Owen in horror, trembling all over.
He was able to react to the attack just now. After all, no matter how fast a person moves, he can't compare to apparation - he just didn't expect that when he met a stranger, he would kick him when he saw him.
And the other party is obviously a wizard, how can he use his feet?
"Okay - get up if you're still alive, don't waste time." Owen glanced at the goblin on the ground in disgust, and then returned to his seat.
"Woo--" The goblin stood up with a sharp voice, covering his chest.
No one present was moved at all, and only Hermione kindly stepped forward to give him a hand.
The other French people in the tavern were all watching the show. The wizards also discriminated against goblins, and they were happy to see a goblin being beaten.
Sirius also belongs to this type of traditional wizard and has no favorable impression of goblins.
As for Koyatel, it’s good that she didn’t do anything.
Sure enough, after Owen beat the goblin and Hermione cast a few healing spells to get up, he became much docile.
"First - sir." The goblin said intermittently, his face full of fear, but his eyes flashed with hatred invisible to ordinary people. "My name is Gornuk, and I was sent by the king to meet you."
"Okay, let's go." Owen drank the beer on the table in one gulp, "My time is precious and I don't miss you."
"Yes - yes!" The goblin named Gornuk lowered his head, clutched his stomach, and limped out.
Owen and the others followed behind.
"Owen——" On the street, Hermione's face was full of displeasure. She grabbed Owen's arm and said seriously: "Why are you——"
"Why did you beat him?" Owen interrupted again.
"To be fair, there is no reason. If I have to say it - well - the goblins are a very conceited race. Giving them a hand will help things unfold later. Of course, this is what I just thought of. In fact, I just think he is a little unhappy. ”
"You -" Hermione seemed to be choked, "Although it is the goblins who begged us to do things, in addition to solving their problems, we can also talk about cooperation. Now you are like this -"
"I never planned to cooperate with them from the beginning!" Owen confessed.
"What?"
"Grandma said that if necessary, we should seize the ancient magic power controlled by fairies - what do you mean if necessary - I think it is necessary now."
"But this way - you will push the goblin into the mysterious man's camp."
"First of all, according to that person's character, he doesn't look down on goblins. Even if the goblins turn to him, he may not accept them. Secondly, if you push him, just push him - killing one is killing, and killing two is killing. It just happens to eliminate a wizarding world. Hidden danger.”
“There are many ways to solve hidden dangers”
"I think my method is pretty good."
"That will only create trouble in the future."
"If we really leave trouble behind, I can only blame you for not killing them all."
"You--" Hermione was furious. She found that no matter what she said, Owen could always find his reason. You can't beat him by talking nonsense.
"Don't you care?" She looked at Sirius and Kyatel beside her.
"I agree!"
As soon as Hermione's eyes glanced over, Coatl spoke bluntly.
As for Sirius, he criticized Owen a few times and then left it alone.
what is this?
Is this considered reverse recognition?
Next, few people spoke.
A group of people walked around in the street.
Just when Owen was about to get confused, the goblin in front finally stopped.
They came to a clearing.
In front of him was a carriage, and two Thestrals were resting on the ground.
There is a goblin on the roof of the carriage and in the driver's seat.
Gornuk stepped forward and chatted with his companions, and then the goblin became quite irritable and yelled at them in the language of goblins.
Although he didn't understand it, Owen would usually directly regard these words as scolding himself.
But this time, Hermione's reaction was much faster than his.
She explained in a half-baked, stumbling, and only able to utter a few words of the goblin language.
I don't know how she could remember all this in just one night.
Anyway, the goblin's face instantly showed joy after hearing Hermione's words, and even revealed a hint of greed.
Then he called the four people to get on the carriage.
With a snap of his fingers, the two thestrals woke up from their illusory dreams and prepared to set off.
"What did you say to them?" Owen asked in confusion in the carriage.
"Nothing." The little witch was still angry.
"Are you sure?" Owen suddenly put his face close to her, very close, the boy's hot breath pressed against her cheek, and Hermione blushed slightly, especially with other people around her. How could he be so bold.
But just this little change of mind made her unable to support the anger she had been holding back, and after she lost her temper, she could no longer hold it back.
Immediately, the little witch turned her head slightly, distanced herself from Owen, took a deep breath and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, we will compensate for medical expenses and so on."
"Are you sure it's medical expenses?" Owen didn't believe it at all, "Didn't you see that goblin almost jumped up with joy just now?"
"Is the goblin language you learned all night reliable? Don't say you'll give him your property or something like that."
After Owen said that, Hermione herself was a little unsure.
Then she did something that shocked others. She actually took out a book from the cloth bag around her waist and flipped through it.
"Ward, you are learning on the spot, right!"
Hearing this, Hermione's face turned red, then she raised her head and glared at Owen stubbornly, and then buried her head in the flipping again.
For the rest of the time, no one else disturbed her.
Anyway, no matter what she said just now, Owen would not admit it.
He beat up that Gonuk and his feet hurt. It's good enough that he didn't ask for compensation, but he still wants to pay for it? What a waste.
Just like that, more than an hour passed in a flash.
The location of the fairy kingdom is still far away from Paris.
Owen didn't ask where it was exactly.
Anyway, with Sirius there, he had been there once. And these two goblins couldn't be bold enough to send them to Voldemort.
The scenery outside proved that the fairy kingdom was indeed in the Alps. Because it was visible to the naked eye that the altitude was getting higher and higher.
Finally, after a cold wind replaced the originally warm autumn wind and poured into the carriage, Owen, who had fallen asleep leaning against Hermione, woke up faintly.
Well - last night, because I told Hermione about today's affairs, and she had to prepare various things just in case, I was tossed until very late. Even so, she took two hours to read a magic book that taught goblin language. In the end, he asked her to go to bed quickly, otherwise Hermione would have to stay up until dawn.
"Woo--" Owen yawned and straightened his body. "Are we there?"
There were already mountains outside the window.
The towering snow-capped mountains were within easy reach, and the axe-cutting momentum was magnificent. Nature showed her incomparable beauty.
"We're here--" Sirius responded.
Then his eyes fell on Hermione and Owen.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious of the couple. He envied their boldness. He was a complete novice in love. When facing someone, it was normal to be at a loss, but at this time he had no one to ask for advice. If James was still there
As for Lupin--he and Tonks were progressing very quickly, and they might even have secretly married.
But Lupin was actually the same as him. He had no experience to talk about and was completely passive.
Apart from that, he had no friends.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled slightly, and then the speed slowed down.
And everyone could also feel a sense of falling downwards.
A few minutes later, the carriage stopped steadily on the ground.
"Huh--" Owen got off the car first.
Then he carried Hermione off the car.
He was so anxious because the proportions of the goblin carriage were very uncoordinated.
Although the carriage was cast with the Infinite Stretch Charm, it was not crowded.
But because the proportions of goblins and humans are different, the Infinite Stretch Charm only stretched the space of the carriage, not transformed the carriage.
The distance between the seat and the ground was too close, which was very uncomfortable.
If there were only him and Hermione in the carriage, it would be fine. The little witch could lie horizontally against the back door of the carriage. Or lean against his arms and put her legs flat on the bench.
Unfortunately - there were two more light bulbs, Koyatel and Sirius.
"No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be any trace of construction here." Koyatel jumped off the carriage alone and looked around.
This is the halfway point of a snowy mountain.
A small flat ground.
Yellow weeds grew on the ground, and everything was barren. No matter what, you couldn't find any man-made things.
"This is goblin magic." Sirius got off the car and explained. "The entrance is right in front of you."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking.
The two fairies stretched out their slender arms and gently waved their fingers towards a place in the open space.
Then the space in front of them rippled like the surface of a lake.
The true appearance was slowly revealed.
A well with a pavilion appeared in front of the four people.
Oh - no - it can't be called a well - because it is more like a reservoir, the well mouth will not be built that big, and the reservoir is surrounded by a classical building in the form of a temple. It is a bit like a pavilion.
It is composed of the dome pavilion, architrave, column style and pedestal on the top, showing a heavy upper part and light lower part.
It is just an architectural style popular in the Renaissance.
The shape is the basic form of the shrine built by the typical early Christian martyrs. The colonnade on the lower floor of the church adopts the Doric column style, which is quite heroic.
"Please - please follow us." The goblin Gonuk said timidly.
Another goblin took out a cloth bag from his pocket.
Then he snapped his fingers, and the bag immediately floated up and became bigger, like a big mouth, swallowing the carriage. Then it became smaller and took it back to his hand.
The four climbed the steps and came to the reservoir.
Led by Gonuk, they walked into the pool.
Then Gonuk seemed to have activated some mechanism, the bottom of the reservoir shook violently, and then slowly sank.
"It turned out to be an elevator!" Koyatel said with some surprise.
And Owen, he had guessed it long ago.
Sirius had told them before that the fairy kingdom was underground.
"It is very rare for other races to enter the fairy kingdom." Gonuk whispered, "Only those invited by the kingdom are eligible to enter the kingdom."
"Other fairies are not qualified to bring people back to the kingdom."
"Oh--" Owen responded, "No wonder your fairy kingdom can stand for thousands of years, because it is hidden enough, and not many outsiders know the true location of the kingdom."
"Yes, yes." Gonuk nodded, and when he talked about the kingdom, the fear of Owen in his eyes receded a lot, and pride and awe reappeared in his eyes, "Our kingdom is not only a geographical secret, but also a place of knowledge and magical power. For thousands of years, we fairies have built this safe and prosperous underground world with our extraordinary understanding and control of metals and gems, as well as the wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
Our technology is extraordinary, our wisdom is long-term. Civilization is also far beyond the surface."
"Hehe--" Owen sneered.
He was too lazy to talk to this caveman hiding underground about what civilization is.
Once a creature's opinion is formed, it is difficult to change. Unless it encounters a major event or suffers a serious blow, there will be no change at all.
Talking too much will only waste your words and increase the degree of disgust in the other person's heart.
As the elevator slowly descended, the light around them gradually dimmed.
At this time, the floor tiles under their feet lit up.
