Chapter 744 Owl Ghost

The light from the three magic wands was insignificant in the endless darkness, devouring them in the middle of the night. ?

It wasn't until Aiwen's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness that he could clearly see the huge black fortress that appeared in front of him.

In this place called the Owl Fortress, the tall and majestic granite buildings stand quietly on the cliffs above the river valley, looking down on the visitors with a majestic posture, as if they are crumbling. The original builders of the castle deliberately chose such a precipitous place, and used magic to blend the entire fortress with the cliff.

This is simply a miracle, and everyone who saw it was moved.

Undoubtedly, while such a miracle is shocking, it also produces inexplicable awe from the bottom of my heart.

The huge fortress was magically fortified, with a towering central spire, oddly windowless.

The walls are covered with strange vines, they are tightly entwined, intertwined with huge stones, forming the main outline of the castle.

A mysterious atmosphere enveloped its surroundings, with an evil and ominous atmosphere, and those who stared at it quickly turned their eyes away.

"This ancient castle has been cast with a lot of protection spells. Only wizards can find it here. It is a very famous magical landscape in Dijon." Yelena said, looking at the fortress in the distance, "I have seen it before, and there are thousands of them. The transparent owl ghost is watching you quietly, eerie and uncomfortable, as if something bad is about to happen."

"Well, go and have a look!" Ivan said, he could clearly feel the magic power and the unknown power in it.

The three of them Apparate once and appear at the castle gate.

The gate was closed tightly and blocked by huge stones, but an irregular opening was rudely opened on the wall next to it for people to enter and exit.

Following this entrance, three uninvited visitors entered the castle.

Inside is a huge square hall. There is nothing but all kinds of garbage piled up on the ground. For hundreds of years, this fortress has been visited by countless visitors with various purposes. The valuable things inside have long been It was completely looted.

"This place is even more desolate than I imagined...", looking around.

"It's like this from top to bottom. There's nothing left. No one knows what the original place looks like. Those greedy guys have already robbed this castle and left nothing behind." Elena then explained. , "They don't care if the things inside are cursed or not, as long as they are valuable, the remaining valuable items will be moved to the museum in Paris by the Ministry of Magic."

In Europe, there are many abandoned castles like this, standing quietly in the fields as witnesses of past history.

If the owner of the castle is rich, they may be preserved as a cultural relic, or repurposed as a private resort or hotel or something.

If no one takes care of them, they will just be abandoned like this. The Muggle government spends part of the funds to maintain the castles every year to ensure that they don't collapse, but the Ministry of Magic has no such statement.

Owning a castle is a lot of burden, and it's no exception for a declining family of pure-blood wizards.

It is said that in addition to that huge manor, the Malfoy family also has such an ancient castle in a certain area of ​​England, which is managed by dozens of house elves, but there are only a few pure-blood wizard families like them.

"Although there is nothing here, the place is huge. It is really difficult to find the owl monster hiding here. We don't have enough manpower to search the entire fort at the same time..." Elena said.

"I believe it will come out and come out to find us." Ivan continued to ask, "Where are those owl ghosts?"

"Oh, you'll see them, they don't usually appear near the door." Elena shook her wand, the end of the wand emitted a stronger light, and said in a low voice, "Those owl ghosts are definitely not as simple as they seem, How do you say, they are like humans, they follow the trajectory of humans, it's strange, isn't it? Well, if you want to go to the dungeon, I remember that you should go this way, there is a passage leading to the basement in the kitchen, I was Just look up from afar."

They went straight through the doorway, instead of going up the stairs, but walked to the basement in a narrow passage on the first floor.

This feeling reminded Ivan of a maze, never sure what was waiting for them behind the closed doors.

When they came to the kitchen through the dark corridor, Ivan finally saw those owls.

Their bodies are transparent milky white, just like what Elena said, they didn't fly in the air or search for food like normal owls, but stood quietly on the ground, just like people.

They are moving according to the habits and trajectories in front of them, and there is a faint sadness on their tiny faces.

After Ivan, Sirius, and Elena entered the kitchen, the owls did not approach, but just watched the three of them quietly.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Look, that's why I don't like this place. I've seen ghosts, but I haven't seen ghosts like this." Elena, afraid to startle them, "We'd better be careful, I can feel them, they can Listen to us."

"It's a bit strange. I've never seen this kind of thing before. They have magic fluctuations, which seem to be a kind of soul magic. This reminds me of something I saw in an ancient magic book... ’ said Alvin.

He thought for a while, and walked towards the owl closest to him, ready to test the magic he saw.

"What's the matter with this child?" Elena looked at Ai Wen's back, yes, "It's too strange, he seems to know a lot of magic. Speaking of which, what are you going to do with such a little wizard running around..."

He didn't mean to return to the other party's question, and he didn't even look at Irina.

In his eyes, this woman is definitely not a qualified Auror.

Although her personal strength is not bad and she looks very beautiful, her personality is too casual and she has no brains. She doesn't understand what it means to be cautious. She said too many things along the way and told Ai Wen almost everything.

What should be said, what should not be said, everything has been said!

If they were dark wizards like Death Eaters, this woman would probably be in bad luck!

She probably forgot all about what Moody had told her. Did she become an Auror? !

Listening to Elena's chatter, Sirius had the urge to gag her with something... 8
