Chapter 211 209. Sir Stoker

Neville and the others followed Jon, and Rabbi invited them to walk into the tower.

From the outside, the whole tower was very slender, giving people the feeling that the inside was at most like most lighthouses at sea, with only space for a spiral staircase around the wall.

But in fact, the traceless extension spell is a practical skill that almost every wizard must have. Such convenient magic allows them to build a house without building it so big, but still have enough spacious space.

After entering the door, there is a not-so-small foyer, or this whole floor is a foyer.

The floor is covered with cashmere carpets that make people feel warm, and there are dancing flames in the fireplace on the wall that emit light and heat, which makes Neville and others, who were originally shrinking their necks outside due to the cold, relax their bodies as soon as they enter the door.

In the middle of the foyer is a spiral staircase that winds up to the ceiling.

Rabil led them straight to the stairs. After they stepped on the wooden steps, the spiral staircase started to move up automatically, just like the moving stairs in Hogwarts Castle. Jon and his friends didn't have to take steps themselves.

The stairs went up very quickly, and except for the foyer, they could only occasionally see the furnishings on other floors. Most of the floors were closed around them, and each floor had only one door connected to this almost endless spiral staircase.

Jon estimated in his mind that after they climbed up about 40 to 50 meters, the spiral staircase still did not reach the top, but suddenly stopped.

This was also an open space, with a cashmere carpet that was more exquisite than the foyer on the ground, and a chandelier with gentle warm light illuminated the place. On the coffee table, the kettle jumped up by itself to pour water into the teacup, and several silver plates were filled with various cakes, floating on the table.

After arriving at this floor, Jon casually glanced at the ordinary fireplace, and did not find any small box of green powder on the fireplace.

There was only one person sitting in this room that looked like a reception room.

The old man with glasses, silver hair and elegant temperament was sitting on a single sofa chair, holding a black cat in his arms, and smiling at Jon who was walking up with Neville.

"Mr. Johnson? Welcome to Starr. This is the first time in so many years that a professor from a magic school has come to visit me. Take the children and sit down. I live a simple life here. I have nothing to entertain you. I can only provide some tea and snacks."

His words were obviously polite. The various furnishings in this tower were not something that people with simple lives could afford. Most of the things were antiques that were worth a fortune even in the magic world.

"You're welcome, Sir Stoke. We should be the ones to feel sorry for our intrusive visit."

Jon sat on a single sofa diagonally opposite Sir Stoke, and Neville and the other five also sat on the long sofa.

None of them touched the tea and snacks on the coffee table. The five people that Jon chose to take off the boat were all smart. Even Luna, who was nicknamed "crazy girl", was just a little weird, but not stupid at all. Lee Jordan was hanging out with the Weasley twins all day, and was even more of a villain.

Neville and Hermione are not to mention. Even Ron has become much more stable in the past two years than when he first started school.

"My ancestor was awarded the title of knight during the Capet dynasty of Muggles because he had been supplying magic potions to the royal family for a long time. Since then, Sir Stoke has become the name of every generation in my family, even in the wizarding world."

Sir Stoke said calmly that he was a wizard but had the origin of the title of knight.

"My real name is Tobias Stocker, and this Starr Tower is also inherited from my family, but my family rarely came here before, and my father even forgot that there was such a tower in our family on this sea. It was not until I inherited the family business that I sold my property in the magic world because of my interest in astronomy, expanded this tower and lived there. However, this place is far away from the land, and few wizards go out to sea by ship. I have never been back since I came to Starr, and I have basically no communication with the outside world. I don’t know how you know this place, Professor Johnson?"

His question was not abrupt or impolite, because Jon and his friends could come here unless they knew the place in advance, otherwise it is impossible to say that they would just wander here randomly.

This sea area is close to the North Pole, and few wizards go out to sea, let alone go to the North Pole through the ocean.

But Jon was obviously prepared for this.

"I have a friend named Richard Williams. I wonder if you still remember him?"

Sir Stocker showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Of course. He is the only wizard who has visited me in the past ten years. Did he tell you the location of Star Tower?"

Jon noticed the time interval of "ten years" he mentioned, and nodded calmly.

"During a casual conversation with him, he mentioned that he was entertained by you when he was young. Recently, I brought my students to this nearby sea area for a school trip, so I wanted to bring them to visit you and broaden their horizons."

Richard Williams was naturally Dumbledore's disguise. After learning about Voldemort's voyage route several years ago, he visited the tower once in secret, but he didn't gain anything that time.

After learning from Jon why he could find this place, Sir Stock's attitude obviously changed.

His attitude seemed to be more enthusiastic, and he invited Jon and the others to have dinner together.

Jon certainly had no reason to refuse. Judging from the situation in front of him, Sir Stock, who lived in the tower, did not have any problems.

He was wary of Jon and the others at first, just because no one would find this tower under normal circumstances. After Jon gave a reasonable answer, he resumed his friendly enthusiasm.

Jon did not find anything wrong with his eyes or facial expressions, nor did he feel that his brain, which had been kept in the brain closure technique, was being spied on.

This certainly could not completely eliminate Jon's vigilance, but some questions could always be asked at the dinner table.
