Chapter 758 Extinct Lighthouse

Both the Kraken and the Maelstrom are located in the Strait of Messina between the Italian peninsula and Sicily.

From the northeast corner of the island, where Aiwen and the others are now, they can clearly see the panorama of the strait.

Near their camp is Taormina, a town where Muggles and wizards live together. There is a well-preserved ancient Greek theater in the town. It is also the business card of Sicily. Ivan just visited it not long ago.

At the southern end of the town, there is an astonishing cliff scenery, and Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe.

The terrain of the whole mountain is quite complicated, and the giants are hidden in it, and it is also the birthplace of the legendary Cyclops.

In myths, the Cyclops will use the magma erupted from the volcano to build weapons, often making loud noises like rumbling thunder.

The clouds near here are very thick, and the top of the mountain cannot be seen for most of the year. It is not easy to find giants inside. Coupled with the loud noises from time to time, the nearby Muggle residents think that the giants living in the mountain The giant is Thor.

Aiwen has carefully observed the terrain nearby, and the scene of the island he saw in Ravenclaw's memory is probably in this area.

In other words, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw have been here more than a thousand years ago.

Gryffindor had a fight with the Cyclops deep in Etna, leaving a permanent scar over his eye.

There is an old lighthouse near the coastline pier in the north of the town, which is the commanding height nearby. It has been guiding the direction of the ships going out to sea until now. If you want to take a boat to see the Kraken, you have to start from there.

The Italian Ministry of Magic has set up a special protection area here to provide protection for the Kraken, and operates a cruise ship dedicated to visiting the Kraken.

But there are not many people now. Mr. Idas Grosso of the reserve told Ivan that usually when the school is on vacation, more wizards come to visit, like him, a little wizard who comes here during the semester Very rare.

"No, no, we can't go to sea now!" Grosso shook his head and said, "Boy, I suggest that you better go to your parents or guardians. It's very dangerous around here recently. It's not that a little wizard like you can casually A place to hang out."

"My uncle and the others are busy with other things. I just took a look. I read the description of the sea monster in the book..." Ai Wen said, "Why can't we go out? It's because of Jin Gallon's Why? Or, do you think that I must be accompanied by someone before I can see those sea monsters!"

"Both!" Grosso said, straightening the hat on his head, pointing to the lighthouse on the high ground next to the pier, "but the main reason is that the lighthouse is broken, and without the guidance of the lighthouse, we You can’t go to sea to seek death. Let me tell you, those sirens love little boys like you the most. If you fall into their hands, they won’t kill you, but raise them slowly and lock them up on the small side of the cliff. In the lair, with you every day..."

Ivan turned his head to look at the old lighthouse, and Mr. Grosso told him that not long ago, the light at the top of the lighthouse suddenly went out.

You know, this lighthouse is not just to guide the Muggle ships, the lights inside also have a very special protective magic, which can prevent the ships and crew from being confused by the singing of the Krakens, and prevent them from Immersed in illusion.

The lighthouse is broken now, and going to sea at this time is no different from courting death.

Next, Grosso told Ivan a lot of horror stories about the siren and the undead wandering in this sea area. What really made Ivan care about was what happened after the lighthouse was damaged...

"Yeah, after that lighthouse broke down, the Muggles sent people out a few times to fix it, and what do they call those freaks with long metal ropes, electricians?!" Grosso said, "I saw it with my own eyes. They went in, and they came out all night, and the Muggles were all crazy, talking nonsense, like they had been hit by a ghost."

"Crazy?!" Ivan looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah, they kept talking about doomsday, destruction, ancient gods, etc., as if they were brainwashed. Who knows what they saw in the tower. I heard that they kept having nightmares after they went back." Grosso looked around, then lowered his head, brought the freckled face closer to Ivan, and said in a low voice, "The reason why the lighthouse broke is obviously because of magic. There are a group of dark wizards in it. One night I Saw them go in on the boat, all in black cloaks."

"Have you seen what they look like?" Ivan asked.

"No, no!" Grosso waved his hand, a look of horror flashed across his face, "It's obvious that a wizard is playing tricks on this matter. I reported it to the higher authorities, but the guy in charge in the town didn't respond. The Ministry did not send anyone over. In my opinion, a broken lighthouse is probably an insignificant matter in their eyes. There is no need to send people to investigate. Anyway, those Krakens will not starve to death, they will find food by themselves of."

"But this matter is very suspicious!" Aiwen said, the bad things said by those dark wizards made him associate with bad things.

Before setting off, Nicole Flamel told him that the Raven's Claw, which had disappeared for a long time, started to move again.

This is where Ravenclaw used to be, could those hooded dark wizards be them? !

Or, was it the Death Eaters who also came to look for the giant? !

"It's really suspicious, but what does it have to do with me!" Grosso said, straightening up again, "I'm just a siren breeder, as long as they pay me back, I don't have to worry about it." Those troubles. To be honest, I'm fed up with this job, and I'm going to give my money away, so I quit and go to Rome to find a new job, it's better than guarding an empty ship and a group of sea monsters here."

"Mr. Grosso, if I fix the lighthouse, can you take me out to sea?" Ivan said, "I still want to see the siren!"

"No problem, boy, as long as you can fix that lighthouse!" Grosso said, "I've never seen a little wizard who is as interested in sea monsters as you are. There are no clothes on, but down there... you just look at them and you're not interested in them!"

Aiwen waved his hand, walked back along the path he came from, and waited until there was no one around before apparating back to the camp.

Whatever the reason for that lighthouse going out, there was clearly new trouble inside.

He was going to wait until the matter of contacting the giant came to an end before thinking of a way to solve this trouble.
