The Plane Merchant of Hogwarts

????Rolf thought that this should be the selection of the mission line, which really triggered the in-depth plot of the corresponding NPC.

????"Actually, I haven't thought about the plot yet. I just heard a legend and wanted to come here and look for inspiration..." The old man took a sip of tea leisurely.

????Malfoy quickly asked: "What legend?"

????The old man put down his teacup and said slowly: "Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, this place was just an ordinary village. Because of the rampant Black Death, people thought that everything related to evil magic, the source of this horrible disease, was the first to be affected. Witch, but those who were really killed were actually innocent girls..."

????The three of them looked at each other.

????Witch?

????What a coincidence, they have met before.

????Not only have I seen it, but I have also been "warmly entertained"...

???????But... aren't we choosing a couple?What kind of trouble are you trying to make by telling us the story of the witch?

????"There was such a girl in this village. Someone reported that she was a witch. Soon, the villagers burned her at the stake..."

"But after that, evil spirits began to appear in the village. The villagers died and were injured. Those who were lucky enough to survive quickly moved away..."

????"As time goes by, the village was abandoned. Later, the nobles who owned this land, for some reason, insisted on building a castle here. The castle was completed and the nobles moved in. From then on, the whole family never had peace..."

????"Then today came," the old man breathed out, seeming a little tired, but his eyes were still full of the writer's unique, eager light, "Although the castle has become a hotel, it is said that the evil The spirit is still within the castle, lingering.”

The three of them were a little stunned after hearing this. Isn't this the oil painting that selects the task line?Why does the story return to its original starting point?

"Are you talking about that oil painting?" Malfoy asked with some uncertainty.

"What oil painting?" The old man was also stunned after hearing this. Is there any record of what happened back then?

????????After Malfoy looked at his two teammates, he saw that they didn’t have any warning expressions, so he told him honestly:

"We saw an oil painting in another room before. It seems to be one of the rooms next door. The painting is a picture of a witch's execution. The walls of the room are full of traces of fire."

????The old man stood up excitedly: "Take me to see it quickly!"

????Malfoy was also caught off guard after hearing this: "Huh?"

????????Shouldn’t he show them the way?What kind of divine development is it for a level breaker to lead the way for NPCs!

???????Having no choice, they started looking for the first room again (mainly because Malfoy couldn't shake the old man's hand).

The old man who had always been very calm, after seeing the painting they were talking about, immediately walked forward excitedly, and tapped the cane in one hand on the carpet with a fast frequency. The sound was just like the urgency in his heart.

????As soon as the old man stood in front of the oil painting, he stopped moving and stared at it carefully, appreciating it seriously.

The old man seemed to be frozen there. Time passed slowly, and the three of them stared at the old man's figure, trying to get some information from his movements.

What is left to them is a slightly obscene back view. Wait, obscene?

????????Just when the three of them reacted, the old man stopped and saw that there was a pipe in his hand at some point, and he said that the pipe was knocked on the painting a few times. Finally... by chance, a few sparks fell on the oil painting.

????????The flame in the oil painting suddenly seemed to come alive, turning into a snake shadow and jumping out, lighting up the surrounding walls in an instant!

????The temperature inside the room also increased instantly, and the heat wave became more and more intense, making it difficult to breathe.

????Malfoy took a big step back: "What the hell?"

????????Rolf quickly summoned a water dragon, hovering in the room to extinguish the fire that had just started.

The flames on the surrounding walls were extinguished by the water dragon, and the temperature in the room also dropped sharply as the flames disappeared, making it really comfortable.

But at this moment, the oil painting changed again. Flower petals flew out of the canvas. In an instant, the rain of flowers turned into flames and filled the whole room.

The light blue petals danced in the firelight, like butterflies. With their arrival, even the heat wave seemed to fade a lot.

????????At this time, the witch execution picture in the oil painting suddenly turned into a light blue vortex!

????In an instant, the three Rolf people in the room, surrounded by a rain of flowers, felt their bodies suddenly vacate. Before they could react, they were sucked into the oil painting by a huge suction force!

????The hustle and bustle is over.

????The flames are gone, the petals are gone, the walls have returned to a cold, charred blackness, and the oil painting is still hanging, with the same picture of a witch being executed, as if nothing had happened.

The old man put the pipe back into his arms and continued to admire the paintings with his hands behind his back, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him, hiding his merits and fame.

?????????————————————————————

???????Medieval, European village.

????The sun has just set, and there is still a faint red on the horizon.

????The three friends had just been freed from the spinning, and they climbed up one after another, quickly or slowly. Everywhere they could see were rural huts, and villagers hurriedly passing by.

The three of them occupied the main road of the village, but the villagers passing by ignored them. Everyone ran in the same direction, with some strange fanaticism on their faces.

????Not far away, at the end of the road, there is a wide open space, like a small square, which is now full of people.

There is a tall cross in the middle, with a young girl tied to it. The lower part is blocked by onlookers and villagers, so you can’t see it, but you know it must be filled with firewood.

The villagers have no reaction to them. They can see them, but they will avoid them. They will not strike up a conversation, let alone look at them twice, even if their clothes are incompatible with this place.

????The firewood was still being piled under the torture frame. The people transporting firewood and piling firewood were sweating profusely from their work, but they were still full of energy.

????The girl who was about to be burned at the stake lowered her head lifelessly, with her long hair covering her face.

????"It's different from oil painting." Luna said in a deep voice.

??????"Yes." Rolf understood Luna's meaning instantly, "In the painting, the fire has already started."

"So, it's time to move the painting scene forward a little? But what do we do now???" Malfoy asked uncertainly.

Luna and Rolf began to think about it. They started with the sad love letter, then the commission from the braided girl, the divination from the gypsy girl, and the legend provided by the old writer... …

?????????Wait a minute, the gypsy witch said that the revenge of the evil spirit is the beginning of this painting?Is that evil spirit the burned witch?

?????????What does that mean for us?Want to save her?

"I think the evil spirit should be the girl on the torture rack. She was innocently killed, so she naturally wants to seek revenge from the villagers." Luna spoke slowly and gave a guess similar to Rolf's.

At this time, Rolf looked at the tree not far away, where a man and a woman were having an intimate conversation. It was the object of their choice in the painting.

"But there are so many villagers, can she get revenge?" Malfoy muttered.

"Maybe... he was the one who betrayed her?" Rolf seemed to suddenly understand something, and said slightly excitedly.

The puzzles they solved are obviously connected. If you make a bold guess, the girl with braids is most likely the reincarnation of the girl in the couple under the tree?

After speaking out her thoughts, Luna's eyes widened instantly. She seemed to have thought of something: "So it was the boy who wrote the love letter to the girl with braids?"

"Yes," Rolf nodded thoughtfully and continued, "They betrayed the evil spirit together, but fell in love again after reincarnation. How could the evil spirit let them go?" ?”

?????????Malfoy still didn't understand, and asked confusedly: "What did the substitute say?"

????Rolf sighed: "The boy became the girl's substitute and has been burned by the evil spirit's hellfire, so he can only communicate with the girl and cannot show up, otherwise he will be discovered by the evil spirit and she will be burned. Wrong person..."
