Chapter 348 The Country of Mountain Eagles (Third Update, Supplement)

Jon Hart was having breakfast in the hotel.

He arrived in this city in northern Albania named "Skoder" last night, and then found a hotel to stay.

In order to go to this city located in the west of the Balkan Peninsula, he spent a lot of effort. In the previous three days, he set off from Austria, passed through the three Slavic countries of Slovenia, Croatia and Yugoslavia, and finally arrived here.

Along the way, he used a variety of Muggle means of transportation; and when crossing the national border, he flexibly applied the "Disillusionment Charm" and "Confusion Charm", but did not encounter any trouble.

It was already late at night when I arrived in Shkodé... Fortunately, this is the second largest city in Albania (although it has a population of less than 70,000), and everyone who speaks English and French can understand it. Find a place to live and Not a problem.

...

It was Jon's habit to read the newspaper at breakfast.

However, the "Daily Prophet" obviously couldn't be sent to the distant Balkan Peninsula. What Jon was holding was an English version of "Balkan Contemporary" (the most popular newspaper among local Muggles), flipping through the contents in a bored manner. .

Most of the pages are filled with boring information, but when Jon turned between the fifth and sixth pages, he was caught by a piece of news:

"Sad news came last night from Romania's Transylvanian plateau.

In a small town called 'Gileu', Gina Pistor, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the local mayor, traveled to Cluj-Napoca last night for a friend's birthday party later than usual Been home for a few hours. At 11:00 p.m., the mayor of the town, Mr. Pistor, discovered an abnormality and mobilized the whole town to search for it. Finally, Miss Pistor’s body was found in a black forest on the banks of the Mures River about a mile away from the town. .

Miss Pistor's throat seemed to be bitten off by some ferocious beast, and there was a claw mark on her face, but according to the medical examiner's diagnosis, the real cause of her death was a sudden heart attack; History of heart disease.

Details are yet to be reported, please continue to pay attention to the relevant content of "Balkan Contemporary". "

"Die of a sudden heart attack with a beast biting his throat?" Jon murmured, putting down the newspaper.

To be honest, a Muggle girl who was suddenly murdered has nothing to do with him. Such tragedies may happen every day in the world... However, a person who has never had a heart attack died of a heart attack; Isn't it a symptom of the "Killing Curse"?

With the Killing Curse, also known as the Avada Kedavra Curse, the heart of the person who is killed will stop beating in an instant, and the rest will not leave any traces... Therefore, the forensic diagnosis can only be an acute heart attack.

So, there is a high probability that this girl was killed by a wizard?

There was also a picture attached to the newspaper. Although the girl's face was mosaiced in the picture, the wound on her neck was quite clear.

With the experience of his previous life, Jon can vaguely judge - this looks like a scar caused by a canine animal?

Canine animals, plus the "Killing Curse"... Could it be that this tragedy was done by a dark wizard werewolf?

Wait, according to the legend... Transylvania is not the territory of the vampire Count Dracula, but also the lair of vampires; a werewolf and black wizard rushed over, could it be that he wants to provoke the war of the night?

While thinking wildly, Jon put away the newspaper; he stopped letting his eyes notice the somewhat cruel photo, after all, he still had to eat now.

Whether it's a werewolf or a vampire, it doesn't matter to me... Transylvania and Albania are thousands of kilometers away, so far away.

...

While eating, there was a small episode.

Sitting on the next table was a hideous guy with hair all over his body. He angrily threw a pot of stewed lamb on the ground and scolded the hotel owner for what he did too badly!

Passengers around saw his ferocious appearance and fled away from where he was.

Looking at the innkeeper with a frowning face and explaining to him, Jon only found it a little funny——

Eat stewed mutton for breakfast, this weirdo is also a talent.

Continuing to eat his own breakfast, Jon took out a booklet "Alayne Shafik Takes You Around Europe". On the cover was a pretty witch, waving at him.

The author of this booklet, Ms. Shafik, is a very famous traveler in England and has traveled all over Europe, so the travel booklet she wrote is also of great reference value... During the few days when Jon lived in the Leaky Cauldron One day, I went to Lihen Bookstore to buy a copy.

The one starting with A... Albania... don't need to turn, it's on the first page.

"First of all... what Alian would like to introduce to you is Albania, the 'country of mountain eagles', a country located in the southeastern part of Europe and the southwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula.

The name of the country of mountain eagles comes from the Albanian national hero George Skanderbeg. Skanderbeg (1405-1468) was born into a noble family of the Byzantine Empire. When he was just born, Ottoman's cavalry rode across the Balkans. Skanderbeg's father surrendered after the defeat of the resistance, and at the same time sent his young son to the Sultan as a hostage.

Skanderbeg grew up in Istanbul and became a general in the Ottoman Empire. However, in 1443, when Hungary went to war with Ottomans, he led 300 Albanian cavalry back to Kruja, deceived the city gate with a forged letter, and declared the independence of Albania.

After that, the sultans of the Ottoman Empire besieged the city of Kruja three times, all of which were repelled by Skanderbeg. According to legend, in battle, Skanderbeg could transform into a giant double-headed eagle, swooping down from the sky and tearing apart his enemies;

So Albania has been using the double-headed eagle as its flag since then..."

...

It was quite interesting to write, and Jon read it with gusto until he noticed someone approaching——

Jon quickly closed the book in his hands, and then covered the witch pattern on the cover with his hands.

Appearing in front of him was a very elegant-looking man in his thirties.

"Wizard?" He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I am too!"

He pointed to the bulging part of his waist, indicating that there was a wand there.

"Yes." Jon nodded, no longer hiding the witch's pattern on the book cover.

"William Smith, from England." The elegant wizard held out a hand in a friendly manner.

Jon shook hands with him, and responded calmly:

"Christopher Patrick, from Austria."
