Chapter 454: Tavern
"Am I lucky?" Sirius said, "If it is as you said, this thing is so powerful, I don't think it is a lucky thing."
"I'm just a metaphor. You have to understand that this is something that even Dumbledore can't handle." Fan Lin said that he did not use a staff in his battle with Sirius.
In fact, the staff increased the power of Fanlin's spell far beyond Fanlin's imagination.
"This is really bad. Why would I get involved in something like this?"
"Believe me, I have been asking myself this question for the past two years." Fan Lin shook his shoulders, looking very helpless.
"Are you scared?"
"No, I just feel that there is some trouble." Fan Lin said, he waved his hand to eliminate all the effects caused by his magic power around him.
"I would like to ask you, are you scared?"
"You're kidding me," said Sirius, "I couldn't resist a Dementor's kiss."
"If it weren't for Harry's Patronus Charm, I think your soul would have been taken away by the dementors." Fan Lin sarcastically said.
"It was just an accident. You should know how bad my situation was at that time." Sirius said, waving his wand, "If it were now, my Patronus..."
"Professor Snape said you are a husky." Fan Lin said in a confused manner.
"what is that?"
"A kind of sled dog." Fan Lin said.
"Why do you think that, my Patronus and my Animagus are the same." Sirius said, he didn't mind using this mighty dog to describe him.
"Speaking of this..." Fan Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, "My patron saint..."
"By the way, what happened to your Animagus? It turns out it has never happened before..."
"This is just one person's bad taste." Fan Lin said, he felt a little bad and his mind was very confused. This was something that had never happened before.
"Would you like to continue," Sirius said, "However, with your current level of spell casting, you can definitely obtain an Auror qualification certificate."
"I'm not an adult yet." Fan Lin said, "This is impossible. What I should consider now is my ordinary wizard level exam."
"Forget it," Sirius seemed to have heard some joke, "You and Hermione, you two can definitely pass now. I don't think the Ministry of Magic will let an alchemist stay for the ordinary wizard level exam. in school."
Fanlin suddenly felt a little irritable. He didn't know where this emotion came from. He rarely felt like this.
"Let's go, Sirius, I think we should take a rest." Fan Lin said, he turned and walked into the house.
Sirius also looked indifferent. He had no objection to Fanlin's proposal.
In fact, Sirius's training for Fan Lin has been going very smoothly. It can be said that it is not difficult for Fan Lin to consider Fan Lin based on Auror's requirements.
Except for some detection problems, in terms of combat, Sirius believed that Fan Lin performed very well, and was better than ordinary Aurors in silent spellcasting and wandless spellcasting.
Of course, this is also partly due to Fanlin's magic. What he is good at are some basic magic spells plus his own modified magic spells, so no one knows the magic spells he uses better than him.
"Wait for me." Sirius said, and he chased after him.
Fan Lin walked very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, he came down from the top floor.
This is the Centaur Tavern, which is located southeast of the small world of Athens. This is not a very prosperous area. The center is a temple for sacrifices, while the north is a residential area and the south is a commercial center.
This description seems to make it easy to understand. It can be said that apart from travelers, few people come to this tavern, except for some surrounding residents.
Just like the Leaky Cauldron, it's like a stop that contains all the issues related to life.
What satisfied Fanlin the most was that there was a large open space on the top floor of the tavern. It could be said that this was a natural place for connection.
Sirius didn't hesitate, he rented the entire rooftop directly. With Dumbledore's magic, they can practice unscrupulously without worrying about what their spells will destroy.
They should probably ask the owner of the bar for a gold coin, and they gave the bar an additional solid place for magic practice.
But given the circumstances here, that idea doesn't seem all that practical.
Like all taverns, this place housed all kinds of wizards who came to Athens to make a fortune.
As for wizards, as long as you don't touch the beliefs of the Athenians, they don't care what type of wizard you are. For example, Fan Lin met a brother from Africa here who studied soul magic. If this was in the UK, The guy wearing a necklace of animal bones and a skull scepter is definitely the target of the Aurors. He can't even enter Diagon Alley.
It can be said that Athens has retained its original wizarding appearance to a large extent. It has been closed for hundreds of years, which sounds scary.
Fan Lin walked down the stairs quickly, and the khaki steps stirred up a circle of dust. In fact, few people would come to clean such a tavern, which made Fan Lin feel that it was a little dirty.
Fan Lin suddenly missed the Leaky Cauldron, at least there were wooden stairs there, and someone was responsible for the hygiene there, although the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron was also very dirty.
"Boss, give me a glass of lemonade, and then, give him a glass of..."
"Give me a lemonade too." Sirius said quickly, he didn't want to try the red wine here at all, the taste was unimaginable.
"Okay, please wait."
Fan Lin nodded, Dumbledore had disappeared for a whole week, which made Fan Lin very irritated.
"You should be patient." Sirius said, he pushed the lemonade to Fan Lin's hand, "Add two ice cubes."
Fan Lin nodded, he wiped the rim of the glass casually, and a few ice cubes fell into the glass.
"I'm already very patient, but Dumbledore asked me to come here, but didn't let me participate in this matter."
"Then he must have his reasons." Sirius said, he took a sip of lemonade gently, and the cool feeling made him feel much better.
"He always has a reason." Fan Lin said, he looked at the door of the bar, there was a layer of black stuff on the worn door.
This is just a matter of cleaning, but no one cares about these details.
The bar at dusk is the busiest time.
After a while, the people who came to stay came in one by one from outside. They were mostly Greeks from nearby, and of course there were some tourists. It was easy to tell because they all looked dusty, and there was even a layer of dust on their clothes.
"What do you think they are doing?" Fan Lin asked.
This small world of Athens is undoubtedly very closed, and Fan Lin doesn't understand why so many wizards come here.
"This is the gathering place of Athens wizards. If you want to make a living in Athens or even Greece, this is the place everyone must come to."
"However, there are really a lot of people coming." Sirius said, and soon there were several foreign wizards staying, some of whom made him feel very uncomfortable.
"They are all wandering wizards," said Sirius, "among them there are some guys who are proficient in black magic."
"Dark magic is nothing." Fan Lin said, he looked out the window, he saw a group of people in white robes passing by the window of the bar.
"Boss... Boss..." Fan Lin shouted.
"Hello, young sir, what can I do for you?" Hearing the call, the owner of the bar came over from the other side of the bar.
"Do you know who those people in white robes are just now? Why have you never seen them before?" Fan Lin asked. In seven days, he had almost walked around here, but he had never seen them...
"Those are some worshippers."
"Worshippers?"
"That is, clergy, they serve the Temple of Athena, but the priest has never asked for anything, so most of the time, they stay in other places and are not dressed like this." The owner of the bar laughed.
"They should be dealing with some problems about this small world. After all, the wizards in Athens cannot leave, which makes some people very anxious."
"Anxious?" Fan Lin asked, "But I see that you are not uncomfortable."
"I have lived here since I was a child. I can't think of any place to go. I am very happy like this. Of course, these words don't apply to everyone."
The boss said, and soon, other wizards called the boss.
"He doesn't feel bored. He has been around here. I don't think I can stay here for a whole hundred years." Sirius said, he picked up the cup and drank the lemonade in the cup in one gulp.
"This is their way of life." Fan Lin said, "Just like the house elves in Hogwarts, these house elves have always lived in Hogwarts, and they have never left." Fan Lin said.
"This is really bad." Sirius said, as a pure-blood wizard, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"It seems that Dumbledore and his team have made some progress, otherwise the priest would not have summoned these worshippers." Fan Lin said, "How about we go over and take a look?"
"Dumbledore said that you should stay here honestly. If there is any progress..."
Sirius hadn't finished speaking when the sky in the Greek world suddenly darkened. (To be continued)
