Chapter 2474 Impermanent Hibiscus (Part 2)

To the southwest of Prime Minister Brabant's castle are two small towns. The towns and their townspeople were once the territory and subjects of the Prime Minister. The local area is famous for its pottery making.

There are also other lords' manors and towns in the north of the castle, which means that Leona and her accomplices can only run in one direction, which is the forest area between the towns. As long as they pass through here, they will enter a large area of ​​​​unexplored land.

Developed virgin forests. This is easy for these bandits who live in remote mountains and old forests all year round, but it is not conducive to pursuers.

Fortunately, it has been snowing for a few days. Although the snow in the forest is still not deep, it has left footprints. At least for now, we can still follow the footprints.

There was a sound of dog barking from deep in the forest.

"Who brought the hunting dogs?" Georgiana asked the others.

No one could answer her question, so she ran in the direction of the barking dog.

The forest was filled with dense water vapor. At first, the dappled sunlight between the treetops could still penetrate, but then only some light spots could be seen. When she realized it and stopped, only Feigel and Ali were around.

Two people.

"Let's go back," Feigl said.

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared on a small slope not far away. Ali immediately put his hand on the dagger on his waist.

At first glance, the black shadow looked like a dog, but its size was definitely not that of an ordinary dog. It looked a bit like a Jevodan beast.

"Let's go!" Ali urged.

Georgiana did not move. She took out her wand, then used a fluorescent flash to throw the ball of light at the black shadow.

She originally thought that the black shadow would get out of the way, but it remained motionless. When the ball of light landed on top of its head, she saw clearly that the other person was not a dog at all, but a man whose body was covered with tattoos.

Seeing this strange man who suddenly appeared, Feige also drew the sword from his waist, while Georgiana watched in disbelief as the man slowly approached.

"Long time no see, Knox." The dark-haired, handsome Sirius Black smiled at her and said in English.

Sirius is dead, Harry Potter confirmed this. If Sirius has gone on to the next "journey", what is this one?

Then she thought of Napoleon Bonaparte, who too was supposed to be dead, so she didn't know how to react other than surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Georgiana asked.

The man who looked a lot like Sirius stared at her.

"What are you looking at?" she asked impatiently.

"I think you are in need of a broomstick right now," Sirius said.

"do you have?"

"No."

"You show up just to talk nonsense?" she said impatiently.

"Sirius" let out a long sigh, "Why are you talking more and more like a 'snot-nosed man'?"

Now she was becoming more and more certain that the man in front of her was not Sirius Black, despite his mention of the nickname "Snotlout".

"I can help you." Sirius said, suddenly throwing something to her.

She subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and both Ali and Feige looked nervous, as if she was picking up a bomb.

When she looked down at the thing in her hand, she found that it was a recorder. It looked just like the one Hagrid often played near the Forbidden Forest.

"This is……"

Just when she was about to ask, "Sirius" had disappeared.

"Throw it away, ma'am," Ali said. "You can't take anything the ghost gives you."

"How do you know he's a ghost?" Georgiana asked Ali.

Ali said nothing, while Georgiana lowered her head and played with the newly acquired "instrument". Without much hesitation, she put it to her lips and started playing.

The sound of the recorder was worse than it looked, but she continued to imitate the tune played by Hagrid, and soon she heard footsteps coming from behind her.

She put down the flute, turned around, and saw a ferocious-looking animal walking towards her.

It was a thestral, its white eyes shining in the dark forest. She couldn't tell its condition because they were always so skinny, but it came close to Georgiana and sniffed all over her body.

It's like looking for something to eat.

She didn't dare to move, for fear that if she raised her hand, the Thestral would regard it as food for feeding, and neither Figel nor Ali seemed to be able to see it, but they sensed something abnormal, and looked at her with frightened faces at the moment.

.

"Is there any meat?" Georgiana asked them both.

The two shook their heads together.

She looked at the Thestral again, although she didn't know if it was one of the group of Thestrals from the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.

"Can you take me to find Margaret?" Georgiana said softly, "As long as I find her, I will take you home."

The Thestral seemed to understand. It shook its big head excitedly and circled around Georgiana several times.

Soon it stopped and stood beside a stone, on which little Georgiana could stand and ride on its back.

Georgiana then bravely went over, stepped on the rocks and rode on the back of Thestral. When they saw her "hanging in the air", both Figur and Ali showed surprised expressions.

"Come up!" Georgiana stretched out her hand to Figel.

"What are you riding on?" Feige asked, looking at the Yeqi in the "void".

Georgiana didn't know how to explain it to her.

Thestrals can only be seen by a wizard who has seen death, and Figur is a Muggle, although she has definitely seen death.

"Don't waste time." Georgiana said impatiently.

"What about me?" Ali asked.

Georgiana didn't know how to arrange him. At this time, the female dragoon had climbed onto the Thestral's back clumsily. She looked surprised and surprised.

"I don't want any other suspicious persons lurking in the castle." Georgiana said, "You go back and continue the search."

Then she patted the Thestral, and it took a running start, then spread its bat-like wings and flew into the sky.

"Hold me around the waist!" Georgiana yelled.

Feigel, who was experiencing this novelty, immediately obeyed the order. The Thestral circled over the forest and then flew in one direction. After flying for about a minute or two, it began to descend.

Through the gap between the dense forest, Georgiana saw the two groups. She took out the wand from the bracelet and cleared a clearing. Both sides in the confrontation were frightened. Figel grabbed Ma in the chaos.

Grete grabbed it from the ground, and then Georgiana used the power of the Thestral to run to a safe area.

This is what happened in a second or two, like a flash of lightning. By the time everyone recovered from the shock, Georgiana had already gotten off the Thestrals and walked to the front of both parties.

She looked at the two groups. On one side was Charlotte Goulding, followed by several Irish men, and on the other side was "Leona". At this time, she had taken off the turban on her head.

Revealing black curly hair, it looks like Medusa's hair.

"Can I ask why?" Georgiana asked Leona in English.

"Not everyone in hell is worth saving, angel." Leona also said in English, "There will always be some hopeless souls."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Myself." Leona smiled bitterly, "I learned to read and write in Sunday school. The only textbook there was the Bible. The priests and well-wishers hope to save our souls through faith, but I don't want to go into the factory anymore."

"I understand." Georgiana said, thinking of the 9-year-old girl who was forced to jump into the river by the heavy workload.

"No, you don't understand." Leona said expressionlessly, "I just don't want to earn hard money. As long as the money is easy, I can do anything."

Georgiana didn't know how to answer.

"I originally planned to pretend to be a rich young lady in Europe, but my 'teammates' were more interested in being robbers than my 'servants'."

Georgiana looked Leona up and down, doubting whether she could pretend to be a noble and deceive.

"How did you do it?" Leona asked.

"What?"

"Make Napoleon fall in love with you."

Georgiana smiled.

"Who told you that?"

Leona didn't answer.

"Let me ask you a question, do you really believe there is magic in this world?" Georgiana asked with an ambiguous smile.

Leona smiled too.

"What are you laughing at?" Georgiana asked.

"Yes, I believe in magic." Leona smiled and said, "If there is an afterlife, I want to be like you."

"This is a terrible idea." Georgiana advised kindly.

"Why?" Leona asked.

Because you don't know what I have been through.
