I, Hogwarts Week Two
Chapter 560: A show of force
No buddy, how many dishes are there! Drinking like this?
Owen really couldn't understand why this goblin in front of him dared to talk to him with such eyes.
Without even thinking about it, he suddenly stood up, as fast as the wind, raised his foot, and kicked the goblin away.
The flesh-like figure flew out like a cannonball, hit the doorpost of the tavern, then fell to the ground and bounced twice.
"It's really true that any Tom, Dick or Harry dares to take advantage of us."
Owen suddenly felt refreshed. He had been too depressed these days.
Moreover, since his strength was exposed, few people looked down on him, so such embarrassing things happened less frequently.
Sometimes he felt that he had changed a lot. This might be related to Miss Granger. Spending so much time with her had an impact on him.
But it was more likely because he absorbed the remaining ancient magic power of the Outer Gods in the Divine Tower, which made him think less and less like a human being. He became more and more indifferent, as if there was 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 with blood spitting from the corner of his mouth and a listless expression, and said: "If you ask for help, you should ask for help."
Then he threw it heavily to the ground.
"I find that I am becoming more and more kind. If it were in the past, I would have passed away long ago."
"puff!"
The goblin lying on the ground like a dead dog spat 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, it can't be as fast as Apparition - he just didn't expect it. Who could have thought that he would meet a stranger and be kicked by him the moment they met?
And the other party is obviously a wizard, how could he use his feet?
"Okay - if you're not dead, get up quickly and don't waste time." Owen glanced at the goblin on the ground with disgust, then returned to his seat.
"Wow--" The fairy covered her chest and stood up with a sharp voice.
No one present was moved, only Hermione was kind enough to step forward and give a hand.
The other French people in the tavern were all watching the show. Wizards also discriminated against goblins, and they were happy to see a goblin being beaten.
Sirius also belongs to this kind of traditional wizard and has no good feelings towards goblins.
As for Koyatel, she was lucky she didn't do anything.
Sure enough, after Owen beat up the goblin, he became much more docile after Hermione cast some healing spells on him to get up.
"Sir." The goblin spoke incoherently, his face full of fear, but his eyes flashed with hatred that ordinary people could not see. "My name is Gonuk, and I was sent by the king to pick you up."
"Okay, let's go." Owen drank the beer on the table in one gulp. "My time is precious. I don't miss you guys."
"Yes-yes!" The goblin named Gonuk lowered his head, covered 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 beat him?" Owen interrupted again.
"To be honest, there is no reason. If I have to say it - well - fairies are a very conceited race. Giving them a head start will help with what happens next. Of course, this is something I just thought of. In fact, I just don't like him."
"You..." Hermione seemed to be choked, "Although it was the goblins who begged us to do this, in addition to solving their problems, we can also discuss cooperation. You are now 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 the fairies - what does it mean if necessary? I think it is necessary now."
"But this way—you'll push the goblins into You-Know-Who's camp."
"First of all, according to that person's personality, he looks down on goblins. Even if a goblin offers himself to him, he may not accept it. Secondly, just push it forward - killing one is killing, killing two is also killing. It is just the right way to eliminate a hidden danger in the wizarding world."
“There are many ways to solve hidden dangers.”
“I think my approach is pretty good.”
"That will only cause trouble in the future."
"If there really is trouble left, then you can only blame yourself for not killing them all."
"You——" Hermione was furious. She found that no matter what she said, Owen could always find a reason for him. She could never beat him with words.
"Don't you guys care about it?" She looked at Sirius and Coatl beside her.
"I agree!"
As soon as Hermione's eyes glanced over, Koyatel spoke bluntly.
As for Sirius, he criticized Owen a few words and then let it go.
what is this?
Is this considered reverse recognition?
After that, no one spoke.
The group walked around the streets.
Just when Owen was about to be confused, the goblin in front finally stopped.
They came to a clearing.
In front of him was a carriage with two thestrals lying on the ground resting.
There is a goblin on the roof of the carriage and in the driver's seat.
Gonuk walked forward and talked to his companions in gibberish, and then the goblin became quite irritable and yelled at them in the goblin language.
Although he didn't understand what was being said, Irving usually took it as insults against himself.
But this time, Hermione's reaction was much faster than his.
She explained it in a half-baked, stumbling way, using only a few words in the fairy 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 asked the four people to get on the carriage.
With a snap of his fingers, the two Thestrals woke up from their illusory dream and prepared to set off.
"What did you tell them?" Owen asked confusedly in the carriage.
"Nothing." The little witch was still angry.
"Are you sure?" Owen suddenly leaned forward, very close, the boy's hot breath pressed against her cheek, Hermione blushed slightly, especially with other people around. How could he be so bold?
Just this small change of mind made her unable to hold back her anger, and after she let out her anger, she could no longer hold it in.
Then 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 the medical expenses."
"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 fairy language you learned all night reliable? Don't talk about giving him your property or anything like that."
After hearing what Owen said, Hermione herself became a little unsure.
Then she did something that shocked everyone else. She casually took out a book from the cloth bag around her waist and started flipping through the pages.
"Wardfa, you are learning this on the spot, right?"
Hearing this, Hermione's face turned red. She then looked up and glared at Owen stubbornly, then buried her head in her work again.
No one else disturbed her for the rest of the time.
Anyway, no matter what she just said, Owen would not admit it.
Beat up that Gonuk and his feet hurt. It's good enough that he didn't have to pay for it, but he's paying 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 exactly.
Anyway, Sirius was there, he had been there once, and these two goblins would not be bold enough to send them to Voldemort.
The scenery outside proved that the Fairy Kingdom was indeed in the Alps, because the altitude was getting higher and higher, visible to the naked eye.
Finally, when a cold wind replaced the originally warm autumn wind and blew into the carriage, Owen, who had fallen asleep leaning against Hermione, woke up slowly.
Well - last night, because he told Hermione about today's affairs and she had to prepare various things just in case, he stayed up very late. Even so, she took two hours to read a magic book that taught the language of goblins. In the end, he asked her to go to bed quickly, otherwise Hermione would stay up until dawn.
"Woo--" Owen yawned and straightened his body. "Are we there yet?"
There are mountains outside the window.
The towering snow-capped mountains are within reach, and the majestic momentum of their carved forms is extremely magnificent. Nature displays her incomparable beauty.
"Here we are—" Sirius said.
Then his eyes fell on Hermione and Owen.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious of this couple. He envied their boldness. He was a complete novice in relationships. When facing someone, he was always at a loss. But at this time, he had no one to ask for advice. If James was still here,
As for Lupin - he and Tonks were progressing very quickly, and they might even be secretly married.
But Lupin was actually in the same situation as him. He had no experience at all and was just passive in accepting things.
Apart from this, he had no friends.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly trembled slightly, and then its speed dropped sharply.
And everyone could also feel a sense of falling downwards.
A few minutes later, the carriage came to a steady stop.
"Huh——" Owen was the first to get off the car.
Then he carried Hermione out of the car.
The reason why he was so anxious was because the proportions of the goblin's carriage were very disproportionate.
Although the carriage was cast with a wireless extension spell, it was not crowded.
However, due to the different proportions between goblins and humans, the Infinite Stretching Spell only stretched the space in the carriage, but did not transform it.
The distance between the seat and the ground is too close, which is very uncomfortable.
If it was just him and Hermione in the carriage, that would be fine, the little witch could lie sideways against the rear door of the carriage, or lean against his arms with her legs flat on the bench.
What a pity - there are two more light bulbs, Koyatel and Sirius.
"There doesn't seem to be any signs of buildings here." Koyatel jumped off the carriage alone and looked around.
This is halfway up a snowy mountain.
A small flat ground.
Yellow weeds grew on the ground, and everywhere you looked was barren, with no trace of man-made objects to be found.
"This is goblin magic," Sirius explained as he got out of the car. "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 an open space.
Then, the space before my eyes began to ripple like the surface of a lake.
Slowly revealing his true face.
A well with a pavilion immediately appeared in front of the four people.
Oh, no, it can't be called a well, because it's more like a reservoir, the well mouth is not built that big, and the reservoir is surrounded by a classical building in the form of a temple, a bit like a pavilion.
It consists of the dome pavilion, lintel, columns and pedestal on the top, presenting a texture that is heavy on top and light on the bottom.
It is just an architectural style that was popular during the Renaissance.
The shape is typical of the basic form of shrines built by early Christians for martyrs. The colonnade on the lower level of the church adopts Doric columns, which is quite heroic.
"Please-please follow us." The goblin Gonuk said timidly.
The other goblin took out a cloth bag from his pocket.
Then he snapped his fingers, and the pocket immediately floated up and grew larger, like a big mouth, swallowing the carriage. Then it shrank and returned to his hand.
The four of them climbed the steps and arrived in front of 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 turns out to be an elevator!" said Coyatel with some surprise.
As for Owen, he had guessed it long ago.
Sirius had told them before that the goblin kingdom was underground.
"It is very rare for other races to enter the Fairy Kingdom." Gonuk said in a low voice: "Only those who are 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 has been able to stand for a thousand years. It's because it is hidden enough that not many outsiders know the true location of the kingdom."
"Yes, yes." Gornuk nodded. 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 protection for knowledge and magical power. For thousands of years, we fairies have built this safe and prosperous underground world with our extraordinary understanding and manipulation of metals and gems, as well as the wisdom passed down from generation to generation.
Our technology is extraordinary, our wisdom is far-reaching, and our civilization is far beyond the surface of the earth."
"Haha——" Owen sneered.
He was too lazy to discuss what civilization was with this caveman hiding underground.
Once a creature's point of view is formed, it is difficult to change it. 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 time and increase the other person's dislike for you.
As the elevator slowly descended, the surrounding light gradually dimmed.
At this moment, the floor tiles under their feet lit up.
