The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Considering that this was a visit to someone else's home, the number of hunters Link summoned this time was not very large, only about 20.

But in terms of quality, it has reached the level of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic of the United States.

In addition, these people are equipped with a large number of dragon-hunting crossbows and other control equipment, which has resulted in the combat effectiveness of these people approaching that of elite Aurors.

To put it bluntly, in a place with a sparse population like the Wizarding World, these 20 people plus Link and Old Kled are enough to start a small war.

Therefore, when Link and his group apparated near the target, the defensive spell on Beckman Castle was triggered as it should.

Standing on the hillside and looking at the huge castle opposite, Link and the others were a little shocked.

There's no way around it, it's just too spectacular.

This ancient castle of the Beckman family is entirely white in color and is built on a large mountain range. Its base is completely wrapped by various weird cliffs.

Because it was summer and the weather was clear, the clouds at the zenith were high.

However, the ultra-high altitude still makes the tips of its towering towers penetrate directly into the clouds. Coupled with the milky white magic aura brought by the activation of surrounding defense magic, it directly sets off the castle's magnificence, just like the kingdom of heaven.

"The location of this castle is in the mountains of southwest Bavaria, close to Austria. It was built in the late 13th century, funded by Gott Otter von Beckmann at the time, and named Gott Otter Castle .”

Seeing this, Link slowly explained to everyone, "This Gotote is a very romantic person. He changed the style of the castle that only advocated practicality at that time, and devoted all his aesthetics to the castle and its surroundings. The arrangement of lakes, forests and mountains forms a magnificent scenery.

However, in the 19th century, the castle fell into disrepair and was rebuilt once by his descendants and renamed Beckmann Castle.

Since then, the castle has been enchanted with multiple defensive spells including Unpicturesque, Muggle Expulsion, and the Fidelity Charm, and has been used in wars for a long time.

So now we can basically no longer see the specially arranged scenery around it, and even Beckman Castle itself is not so majestic. "

"Even so, it's already very beautiful and spectacular! I dare say that even Forlì Castle and Hogwarts Castle can't compare to this Beckman Castle!"

Emily's eyes flashed and she murmured dimly.

After seeing Link's preparations and the beautiful castle in front of her, Emily no longer felt nervous and worried, and was replaced by only expectation and curiosity.

Link shook his head helplessly.

They are indeed incomparable in this regard.

This is a difference in overall regional customs.

Although castles have lost their original purpose for war with the development of the times, they have become a negative asset that requires high maintenance costs.

But people in Germany are particularly obsessed with castles.

According to statistics from the Muggle government, the number of existing castles in Germany has reached a terrifying 14000!

With such a large base, it is completely understandable that there are several particularly spectacular castles.

While Link was talking to Emily, new changes also appeared on Beckman Castle above the mountains in the distance.

The magical aura shrouding the outer wall of the castle suddenly faded away, and at the same time, the city gate facing Link and others was quietly lowered.

"Link, they are welcoming us, let's go over quickly!"

Emily said loudly, tugging at Link's sleeve.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Link grabbed her and said:

"Don't worry, there are others of us who haven't arrived yet... Oh! They're here."

As soon as Link finished speaking, the space beside him suddenly became distorted. In a series of explosions like firecrackers, Snape's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Welcome, Professor Snape!"

Link laughed and waved.

But after hearing this, Snape had no desire to respond to Link.

On the contrary, Snape's expression turned gloomy as he looked at the hunters and Link who surrounded him.

"You have no shortage of guard power at all, why do you still want me to come over? I'm very busy!"

Snape frowned and said, while Link sneered:

"What are you busy with? Running errands for Dumbledore? Or killing people for Voldemort?"

"you!"

"I dragged you out of the quagmire," Link waved his hand and said, "You must be grateful!"

Snape was silent now.

Because what Link said is actually right.

During this time, Dumbledore and Voldemort were indeed in frequent contact with him, trying to instruct him to carry out various activities, which made him a little exhausted.

To a certain extent, Link's move did allow him to find an excuse to escape.

At this time, Emily also came over and gently patted Snape's back to comfort him.

Listening to Emily's words of comfort, Snape's mood improved a lot, but he still looked at Link and others with disgust.

Link wouldn't care so much. He gave the order and led everyone slowly across the chain bridge and arrived in front of the castle gate.

An old butler in a tuxedo was already waiting at the door. As soon as he saw Link walking in the front, he smiled and greeted him.

Link was also in a good mood, because the old man opposite was the tall old German wizard who had led people to support him before.

Link had a good impression of him due to his loyalty in that battle.

"Angela! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"It is my pleasure, Master."

Angela said respectfully, while her eyes searched the crowd for a while, and she frowned with some disappointment, "Isn't Miss Leonie back?"

"My mother also has to manage various matters of the Foley family, so she really can't spare any time."

Link quickly explained, but this explanation made Angela look dim.

He knew very well that this was just an excuse, and the only reason Leonie didn't come back was that she hadn't let go of her father yet.

In fact, Angela even felt that if this matter was not really beneficial to Link, Leonie might not even meet the old Mr. Beckman.

Sighing, Angela quickly calmed down her expression, bowed and made an inviting gesture:

"Please come with me. The master of the house has been waiting for you for a long time."

Link nodded and directed everyone to climb up the stairs.

As soon as they entered the castle, Link and others were once again overwhelmed by the magnificence and majesty of the castle.

Especially the twenty hunters, they had never seen such a large and exquisite group of sculptures in their lives, as well as a ceiling with a mural as gorgeous as the aurora.

Fortunately, they all knew that they were representing the Foley family, so they did not act too embarrassed.

As for Anrag, he became a tour guide after entering the castle, and he was an extremely good one. He began to help Link introduce various statues and ancient paintings in the castle.

Emily listened extremely seriously, her eyes were shining basically the whole time, especially after she thought that these things would belong to the Foley family, she became even more excited.

Link and Old Kled focused more on the defense structure and people of Beckman Castle.

Link keenly discovered that the defense system of Beckman Castle was actually similar to that of Hogwarts Castle.

Those sculptures and paintings that Anlag said have a long history and are priceless are actually part of the defense system. During war, they can immediately become the battle puppets and eyes and ears of the Beckman family.

In addition, there were more wizard servants in Beckman Castle than in Beverly Castle or Hogwarts Castle. In just such a short time, Link had already encountered no less than twenty servants also wearing butler uniforms.

The most important thing is that they are all very old and most of them have obvious disabilities!

This is a little scary.

Because the only source of these people that Link can think of is the group of veterans who fought with Grindelwald.

Thinking this, Link and Old Kelley looked at each other, their eyes filled with vigilance and excitement.

Everyone moved forward and passed through several corridors before finally arriving at the door of a huge reception room.

"Master Link, I'm waiting for you inside." Anrag looked at the group of hunters behind Link and said hesitantly, "But I'm afraid your guards can't go in with them."

"It doesn't matter, just point them to a lounge and let them stay."

Old Klei said cheerfully upon hearing this. While speaking, he patted the Foley family crest on his chest and smiled slyly.

Link and Emily also have such patterns, but they are located in more hidden places like the cuffs and lining.

This is the brand new coordinate determiner made by Old Kled after learning from the last lesson. Compared with the previous one, this gadget has stronger signal penetration and can help penetrate the confinement of the Anti-Apparition Curse.

With it, as long as Link is still in Germany, no matter what happens, the guard can basically arrive instantly.

Anlag called another housekeeper to settle the hunters, and he led Link and the other three into the living room.

This huge living room, or banquet hall, naturally inherited the extremely gorgeous artistic style of the original Gothic Otterburg. At this time, Beckmann, who had white hair and beard, was sitting alone on a table at the end of the room. Sitting on the stone chair, he watched Link and others approaching with a smile.

"Welcome, Link, Emily. And, of course, Professor Snape."

Beckman stood up and greeted.

Link and Emily stood ready and responded with standard aristocratic etiquette.

The only person at the scene who glared at Beckman was Old Kled - Beckman didn't mention his name just now, and Old Kled thought this was a sign that Beckman didn't welcome him.

The fact is that Beckman didn't regard the old Kled as a human being at all.

He directly ignored Old Kled, and then began to greet Link and Emily.

There was no mention of Link's willingness to inherit the Beckman family.

In fact, there is really no need to mention it again.

After all, Link and others' willingness to come this time has given them the clearest answer.

But what is surprising is that the main topic Beckman discussed was when Link and Emily planned to have a baby.

Upon hearing this, Link and Emily immediately became a little embarrassed and helpless.

However, Old Klei's hostility towards Beckman was much less, and there was even a hint of approval on his face.

After all, at least in this regard, their wishes are highly consistent.

It's a pity that this expression only lasted for a moment on Old Kled's face before it was replaced by a more intense vigilance.

Because Old Krei suddenly thought that Beckman might be planning to let one of Link's children take Beckman's surname.

This is something Lao Klie absolutely cannot allow!

The children of pure-blood wizard nobles are far more precious than ordinary people imagine.

In order to continue their heirs, many stubborn pure-blood supremacists even began to allow their descendants to combine with Mudblood wizards.

Therefore, no matter how many descendants Link has, they should remain in the Foley family!

The biggest concession Old Kled could make was to let Link and Link's children add a Beckman middle name, so that the Beckman family name would not disappear in the long river of history.

Maybe he noticed Old Krei's wary gaze, or maybe he really had nothing to talk about.

In short, after a brief exchange of greetings, Beckman finally smiled and said to Link:

"Link, Angra must have shown you this castle. So as the future heir of the Beckman family, let me show you the other properties of the Beckman family.

Don't worry, these industries are all within Germany. If there is an accident, the guards you brought can arrive in time.

Besides, with Professor Snape here, you probably don't need those guards as much, right? "

As soon as he said this, Old Klei, who was about to have an attack, calmed down and just rolled his eyes at Beckman.

Link smiled and said:

"There is no need for this. I believe you will never harm your grandson. Please lead the way. You should also let us see how the German wizard industry is different from that of the United States."

"Of course."

Beckman nodded and said, then took out a small and exquisite snuff bottle door key from a leather box nearby and placed it in front of everyone.

A swirling space rift quietly appeared, sucking everyone in.

By the time everyone was down to earth again, the scenery in front of them had changed from the magnificent living room of Beckman Castle to a simple factory building.

No, the word shabby is simply a compliment to this factory.

Whether it was the shallow layer of dust on the ground, the dirty walls on both sides, or the broken iron roof above everyone's heads, they all reminded Link that this was an abandoned Muggle factory.

Link had come into contact with many abandoned iron factory buildings like this when he was helping to track down fugitives in his previous life, so he knew very well that the only advantage of this kind of place that could almost be considered a dilapidated building was that it had a lot of space!

Sure enough, when Beckman led everyone into the factory, what appeared in front of Link was a huge, but also extremely crowded space.

There are countless open workbenches densely arranged here, and in front of each workbench stands a wizard in gray robe, playing with the crucibles and bottles on the workbench.

Perhaps it was because there were too many boiling crucibles, but there was an unspeakable smell of terror in the air.

Beckman very naturally released a group bubble head spell for everyone to use as a gas mask, then opened his hand and introduced:

"This is the potion factory of the Beckman family."
