Chapter 007 Red-Eyed Crow

Diagon Alley was clearly there, but all the passers-by seemed to be avoiding it intentionally or unintentionally. He observed for half an hour and no one entered or left.

You know, Diagon Alley is not small, there should be at least a dozen households.

And now.

Except for the crows, there was a dead silence.

"Strange! Could it be... a magic circle?"

Gawain thought of a possibility, his expression was a little solemn. It seems that the wizards inside still have some real skills. No wonder they can hide in the downtown without being noticed.

He observed for a while and found something unusual again. He said to himself:

"There seem to be a lot of crows here."

"Caw~~"

As soon as the thought came up, two black crows suddenly flew away from the treetops and flapped their wings towards the hotel.

"Were you noticed?"

Gawain's heart jumped, but he didn't show it on his face. He cursed: "Damn stupid birds, you have affected my mood to see the scenery."

"Bang!"

He closed the window angrily and blocked the crows out of the window.

"Quack~~"

One of the crows circled twice and flew away, while the other one landed on the eaves, combing its feathers with its beak. Its scarlet eyes flashed with human doubts, and it looked down at the closed window from time to time.

......

In Diagon Alley, in the underground laboratory.

The old Addison threw the blood-stained anatomist on the test bench, turned his head and glared at his assistant angrily: "My apprentice, you seem to be distracted again!"

Duncan shuddered, and his only remaining left eye suddenly became focused, and said in panic:

"Sorry, mentor, I... I was just on guard."

"You are too cautious."

Addison snorted and said nonchalantly: "The 'witch hunt' has lasted for a thousand years, and the hounds in the church have long been exhausted. Haha, as long as you don't appear in front of them blatantly, believe me, he They will only perfunctorily do the job. "

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the half-human, half-wolf corpse that had died on the experimental table, and ordered:

"The transformation is only half completed, and the consumption of the experimental subjects is much higher than expected. I need more experimental subjects to complete the 'werewolf transformation experiment'. My apprentice, go and catch a few more living people. "

"Teacher, the day before yesterday..."

"Duncan!"

Addison suddenly turned his head, his face full of ferocity: "I said...you go and catch a few more living people!!!"

"Yes...yes!"

Duncan was frightened and dared not shirk his responsibility.

......

"Huh, Diagon Alley is really not simple."

Hearing the sound of the crow flying away, Gawain behind the window breathed a sigh of relief. He first asked the hotel owner to change a room, and then continued to observe.

But this time he had to be much more cautious, and only dared to peek out through the gap in the window.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Except for occasionally returning to the herbal medicine store, Gawain basically stayed in the hotel the rest of the time. In the past three days, he really made a lot of discoveries.

Basically, every evening, a one-eyed young man would walk out of Diagon Alley.

He would buy some cheap bread and meat in the market like an ordinary person, and when he came back, he would pretend to rest at the entrance of the alley and secretly swap the positions of the stones piled there.

Every late night, there would always be a few drunkards passing by there, unknowingly being led into Diagon Alley and never coming out again.

"Five people were caught in three days."

Gawain gently stroked the shortbow in his hand, and felt that it was time for him to make his own appearance.

He asked the blacksmith to make this shortbow, and at his strong request, he also integrated all the remaining gold and silver sands after the krypton gold into the bow body, which cost him three silver deer.

The finished product did not disappoint him, and it was much stronger than ordinary shortbows in all aspects.

With his 0.7 physique, he could only barely pull most of it.

But it was enough to use.

Gawain hung the shortbow on his waist, carried the quiver on his back, covered it slightly with clothes, and walked out of the hotel quickly.

In the evening, the families of several missing drunkards gathered in the square of the Church of Life, knelt down under the huge statue of the goddess of life and began to cry. Not long after, Father Nick's angry roar rang out in the church:

"These damn maggots!"

"They actually hid in our territory and stole the goddess' lamb. This is simply unforgivable. Repent, only the flames can wash away their sins!"

"Where are the Knights of the Temple..."

When Father Nick led his men to Diagon Alley, Gawain, the instigator, had returned to the hotel room and was about to reap the benefits. What surprised him was that the one-eyed young man who had appeared for three consecutive days did not show up today.

"I shouldn't notice it."

Gawain was a little doubtful. Thinking back to today's actions, he covered his face. He relaxed again and poured himself a cup of coffee. While drinking, he waited silently.

Just after dark, Father Nick led a team of fully armed knights to Diagon Alley. Sitting high on his horse, he saw several stones piled up in the corner at a glance and snorted:

"Sure enough, it's those damn maggots."

With a wave of his wand, a white light flew out and blew the stacked stones into pieces.

"You two guard the exit, and the rest of you follow me to wipe out the heretics!"

Then he waved his hand and led the remaining knights into Diagon Alley, shields cleared the way, torches held high, various traps and mechanisms were triggered, and screams and roars continued to be heard.

"So dangerous?"

Gawain's face turned pale, secretly thanking himself for not being arrogant, otherwise, he would have fallen into the wizard's trap. He pushed the window half open and looked at the two tall knights standing at the entrance of the alley.

He hesitated.

He originally planned to take advantage of the situation, but suddenly found that he seemed to have overestimated himself. Just two knights in iron armor were not something he could deal with with a short bow.

"It's still too weak. I seem to have worked in vain."

Gawain stroked the short bow, feeling a little disappointed, but he did not give up. He still paid close attention to Diagon Alley. For him, this was the first time he witnessed the battle between the church and the wizards.

"Damn hyenas, you disturbed the noble Addison's experiment!"

"Eliminate the heresy!"

The battle was fierce. In the dim Diagon Alley, explosions and dazzling flames occurred from time to time, but the church always maintained its absolute strength. The guards held their shields in the front and showed far more bravery than usual with the blessing of Father Nick.

Addison roared, but could only be forced into the depths of Diagon Alley little by little.

"Plop~~"

At this time, a palace knight guarding the exit of Diagon Alley suddenly fell down, and another knight was instantly alert. He had just drawn his cross sword, and his head was dizzy. He fell down after walking a few steps.

"Something's going on!"

The movement at the entrance of the alley attracted Gawain's attention. He squinted his eyes and saw a figure carrying a package, sneaking out of Diagon Alley and running towards this side quickly.

Under the reflection of the torch on the wall, the figure was a little familiar.

"It's him!"

Gawain's eyes lit up, and he recognized the one-eyed young man. He quickly raised his short bow and quickly put a feather arrow on it. With a slight sound, the feather arrow instantly disappeared into the night.
