Chapter 263 Wolf Den

Mike actually has a full understanding of this world.

On the surface, the extraordinary beings represented by wizards in this world have always treated Muggles with respect, and the two sides are like beings from two different worlds.

But in fact, in the small corner that people can't see, in the place where the two worlds blend together, those extraordinary beings have never stopped torturing ordinary people.

Just like those giants and acromantula, these extraordinary creatures with extremely low intelligence, ordinary humans are nothing more than food and ants in their eyes.

This leads to them often clashing with Muggles, and even killing people.

The reason why extraordinary beings are still not known to the public after so many accidents is because of the existence of international confidentiality laws.

It is precisely because of this bill that wizards will do their best to wipe the butts of those who have committed crimes and erase their impact.

Of course, the murderer who committed the crime cannot escape. Azkaban or death is the final destination for most of them.

From this point of view, the people who established the international confidentiality law seem stupid, right? Because this will lead to a lot of financial and material resources being wasted on such seemingly meaningless things. Also, it's not fair to Muggles.

But this is not the case.

The International Statute of Secrecy prevented the possibility of an all-out war between the supernatural world and Muggle society.

Just imagine if everyone knew that there were still such a group of people in this world.

They possess powerful power that ordinary people can't even imagine, and they regard ordinary people as ants and do whatever they want.

So there’s no need to say more about what the result will be, right?

Whether it is fear of these beings or greed for extraordinary abilities, the overwhelming public opinion will cause all countries in the world to declare war on extraordinary creatures.

Once the war starts, it will be endless, which is not good for the wizard.

Because even if they win, without the huge Muggle base to provide them with fresh blood, the wizards will surely decline.

Therefore, precisely because of the existence of this bill, this kind of thing has been postponed as much as possible. Those extraordinary creatures with sufficient intelligence will try their best to avoid showing their abilities in front of Muggles, let alone hurting Muggles. Melon.

You must know that the power and majesty of wizards are no joke. Once those non-wizard supernatural beings violate this law, or even harm Muggles and are discovered, then the only thing that will greet them is death.

From this point of view, wizards are overbearing. For a long time, they had only two attitudes towards other extraordinary species, enslaving or killing.

Just like werewolves, before Newt opened the Werewolf Registration Office, if a wizard met a werewolf, then he would not care how you turned into a werewolf, he would only take out his wand and "mercifully" bestow that werewolf With eternal peace.

For this reason, these creatures are trying to stay away from big cities and look for life in inaccessible places or small villages in the countryside.

The twelve people selected by Mike naturally knew this, so many of them didn't even plan to go home and left London by car that day.

Victor is one of them.

Compared with the other eleven companions, he does not have much desire for money, nor does he have much thought about knowledge such as potions and alchemy. What he pursues is powerful power.

The reason why he joined the mutual aid association was not only to admire Mike, but also to learn from Mike his amazing fire spell.

Mike did not disappoint him. Mike did not hide the power allowed in these rules, and generously gave the full set of "Fire Master" and his own notes to the twelve people.

After learning these things, not only did his admiration for Mike reach a higher level, but he also became more yearning for stronger power.

Therefore, he is bound to win this competition!

It must be an overwhelming victory!

That's why he refused Benjamin's request.

Only in this way can they prove to their leader, Mike, that he, Victor, is the most worthy of training!

There are many people with great ambitions, but most of them do not have the abilities to match their great ambitions.

Victor is obviously not one of them, but his ability is very outstanding. Before the holiday started, he had collected a lot of supernatural reports from his father, who was an editor in the newspaper, and confirmed what he needed during this period. Go to the target of the investigation.

The first of them is a small village called Hatch.

According to reports, there have been many cases of missing and murdered tourists in this remote village in southern England, and the few victims whose bodies were found all had signs of being torn apart by large beasts.

But strangely, there are no records of large beasts near the village of Hatch.

Victor estimated that there must be a werewolf hiding there!

Due to the long journey, it was already the afternoon of the next day when Victor arrived at Hatch Village.

And when he arrived at Hatch Village dragging his huge suitcase, the first thing he felt was being left behind.

Compared with bustling London, both the buildings in the village and the clothes of the villagers are still stuck in the last century. Except for a few areas in the center of the village where the roads are made of cement, the roads in other places are all made of cement. Earthen.

Since most people here are engaged in farm work, you can often see large livestock such as cows and horses passing by on the roads here.

After these large livestock pass by, some feces will inevitably be left on the road.

It wasn't until he saw the excrement produced by these large livestock with his own eyes that Victor discovered that the cartoons on TV were not a lie. The excrement of these animals was really thick at the bottom and pointed at the top.

Fortunately, the temperature is not too hot now. If it were midsummer, this village would definitely be smelly.

Victor thought so, dragging his suitcase and walking deeper into the village.

He met not many people along the way, which was not surprising because according to his survey, the vast majority of the more than three hundred people in the village were engaged in farm work.

And these farms are distributed far around the village, so except when festivals and markets are open, there should not be too many residents in this village.

But what surprised Victor was that the villagers had never taken their eyes off him since he entered the village.

Especially those women with children, their behavior is even more strange.

They actually took their children and ran away as soon as they saw Victor!

This made Victor nervous.

He began to look at these village names in reverse.

It was okay if he didn't observe it. After observing it, Victor felt a chill rising from his heart and quickly spreading to his whole body. At the same time, his heart beat faster, his breathing became thicker, and cold sweat kept pouring out of every pore on his body, quickly soaking his thin clothes.

Everyone here is actually a werewolf!

Victor coughed violently and reached out his hand to cover his mouth to hide his nervousness.

His grades in Defense Against the Dark Arts were excellent, and he had studied the werewolf part over and over again, so he believed that he would never admit his mistake.

The pupils of each of these villagers are different from ordinary people, their nails and teeth are also particularly sharp, and the hair on their bodies is also a bit thick...

These small features alone are not enough to prove their identities, but when combined, their identities are self-evident.

"This is actually a wolf den!"

Victor thought so, and his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Now he understood why the women with young children ran away when they saw him.

Because the characteristics of a werewolf in childhood will be particularly obvious!

"Sir, why are you shaking all the time? Are you feeling unwell?"

A young and pleasant female voice came, and Victor was alerted. He suddenly turned his head and saw a little girl wearing old-fashioned clothes looking at him with her beautiful blue eyes.

If he had met such a cute girl in the past, Victor might have teased her, but at this moment, Victor had no interest and even subconsciously took two steps back.

Because she is also a werewolf.

"No...it's nothing. I just didn't expect you guys to be so cold."

Victor tried his best to make his voice sound normal, but in this situation surrounded by werewolves, his voice was inevitably a little distorted.

"You must have caught a cold! Look, your voice has become hoarse!" The little girl put her hands on her waist and pouted her little mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "This is not feasible. My mother has said that summer's cold is the most difficult to cure. , you must take medicine and injections well, and you cannot be willful."

After saying that, he took Victor's hand and started walking towards a three-story wooden house with the sign of "Hatch's Tavern". As he walked, he said like a little adult:

"There's really nothing I can do about you. Come to my hotel quickly. Just take a hot bath there and then sleep. Hey! You said you didn't have a cold, but look at your hands being so cold! Come on! bring it on!"

"Little girl, I..."

Victor instinctively wanted to break free from the little girl's hand, but his words got stuck in his throat before he was halfway through speaking.

Because he noticed that since he started to have contact with the little girl, the villagers who had been staring at him suddenly became nervous. Victor even noticed that several elderly ladies had taken out kitchen knives from the kitchen, as if they would pounce on him and chop him if he didn't follow the little girl's instructions.

There are too many werewolves here, there should be dozens of them seen today.

Although most of them are old people, women and children, the old people, women and children who are werewolves are not ordinary. With so many werewolves swarming around and talking too much, even if today is not a full moon night, they cannot turn into werewolves, but they can turn themselves into werewolves just by relying on the power of human form. Tear into pieces.

Victor didn't dare to move for a moment, and could only be pulled into the tavern by the little girl.

It was afternoon at this time, and there was no one in the tavern. Apart from the wine cabinets and bar counters filled with various inferior wines, there were only some empty tables and chairs in the not-too-spacious space.

After entering the room, the little girl let go of Victor's hand, jumped up and down to the corridor with a smile, and shouted:

"Mother Lily! I'm bringing guests!"

Victor was hesitating whether to take advantage of this opportunity to run away when he heard a female voice respond from deep inside, and at the same time, a fat woman appeared in front of him.

This middle-aged woman was very tall, almost 1.9 meters tall. At the same time, Victor estimated that her weight should be about the same as her height.

(Well, the conversion units are cm and kg)

The woman was wearing an apron. The apron should have been white, but now it was covered with stains, and the original color was almost invisible.

At the same time, she was holding a heavy bone-chopping knife in her hand, and there were even some remains of flesh and blood on the blade.

This woman should have been chopping meat in the kitchen just now.

Victor came to a conclusion instantly.

After thinking that this was a werewolf village, Victor began to doubt the origin of the residue on the bone chopping knife, and at the same time took two steps back.

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment when she saw Victor, then quickly put on a smile and hid the bone chopping knife behind her back.

"Oh, this guest looks unfamiliar. Is he from out of town?"

Before Victor could answer, the little girl pulled the middle-aged woman's apron and said:

"This uncle is my guest. He has a cold. If it weren't for me, he might have to get an injection! Injections are painful. I hate injections!"

Seeing the little girl raising her head, with this cute look like "please come and praise me", the smile on the middle-aged woman's face was a little more sincere. She wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, but then she thought of her own hand. It was still not clean, so he quickly took it back and praised:

"Wow! Betty is so awesome! She is truly my mother's baby!"

"Hmph! Of course!"

The mother and daughter were intimate for a moment, and then the fat woman with the same name as Snape's dream girl stood up and said to Victor, who had been staying at the door:

"Since you are the guest brought by Betty, please come in quickly. I have always taken care of the guest room upstairs. It will come in handy when you come. The fee is 50 pounds a night, and hot water and three meals are free. How long does the guest want to stay? By the way, this is the only hotel in this village."

The corner of Victor's mouth twitched. This fat woman was obviously ripping off customers. How could a shabby tavern in a shabby place like this be so expensive as 50 pounds!

But thinking that this was probably the only place willing to let him stay, Victor did not hesitate and directly put his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, where no one else could see it, and took out a stack of ten-pound banknotes. He ordered ten of them, then took them out and handed them to the fat woman.

"Two days, I feel like I really have a cold."

"Thanks for the review!" The fat woman counted the bills excitedly, stuffed them into the small bag on her chest, and said, "Then the guest needs to take a good hot bath, and I will go and heat the hot water for you. Betty, help the guests carry their luggage up."

"I know! Mom Lily!"

Betty cheered and grabbed Victor's luggage. Victor was shocked. Just as he was about to reach out to stop him, he saw that Betty had already picked up his luggage with one hand.

At the same time, the expression on her face froze, and she asked blankly:

"Uncle, why is your suitcase so light? It's like... it's empty inside."
