Chapter 296 Wanderers and Travelers

Anton picked up a lot of magical animal corpses in the Forbidden Forest today.

They all died peacefully, with an indelible happy smile on their faces.

The happy kind.

Very weird!

A big white rabbit with four ears and the ability to fly short distances, a triangular snail who masters a touch-type body restraint spell, a swallow-tailed dog who has no abilities but is said to be loyal to his master, two little black devils (some of the elves) species) There are a total of 36 heads.

and also……

A unicorn.

Forehead……

Sin, sin, this beast is said to be the holiest animal in the wizarding world, don't be discovered, otherwise it would be bad if people misunderstood it as a dark wizard!

Anton was silent for a long time, looked around as if guilty of guilt, quickly bled the unicorn, cut off the horn and tail hair, and burned the rest to ashes with the flames, blowing away with the wind.

Except for the unicorn material stuffed into the snuff box, everything else was packed in a cloth bag and floated behind.

Anton struggled for a moment, not knowing whether to take it to the house-elf or Neville.

Finally decided to take it back to the cabin.

Many magical animals here are not only used for eating, some are commonly used potion materials, some are good materials for alchemy, and some are even prop materials for ritual magic.

Maybe everyone can give some advice.

Anton didn't take a few steps, almost two hundred meters away from the area affected by the spell just now, and met two adult wizards.

One is short in stature, with two pointed ears, it can be seen that this person has the blood of goblins.

There is also a blond wizard in a fine suit and a woolen trench coat, with his hair combed into a delicate back, leaning against a tree trunk with his arms crossed.

The two looked at Anton with strange expressions.

"Oh, what a coincidence, hello Professor Flitwick and Professor Lupine."

Lupine quietly gestured behind Flitwick, making silent reminders.

Professor Flitwick frowned and looked at Anton, "You have a deep understanding of spells, which is something to be happy about, but I think your approach is a bit inappropriate."

Anton blinked innocently, "I just want to study some happy spells."

"Happy?" Flitwick stared strangely at the bulging cloth bag behind Anton, "Oh, I'm really happy, but a little out of control. I think..."

"I think Anton needs some guidance." Lupine took over the conversation. "Maybe it would be a good choice to take classes with me every Sunday and learn something other than spells."

Flitwick frowned and looked at Lupine, "You know I don't mean that."

Lupine came forward with a smile, grabbed Anton's shoulders, and looked at Flitwick with a gentle expression, "In addition to being a professor, I am also his guardian, and I think everything he does should be done by him." I am in charge."

Flitwick thought for a while, nodded slightly, stared at Lupine and Anton, and turned to leave.

Anton looked at Lupine suspiciously. Lupine smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go to my office."

...

...

"Professor Flitwick is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix. There is a reason." Lupine came over, put a cup of black tea in front of Anton, and sat down on the table behind the desk.

Anton raised his eyebrows, "He's not a dark wizard."

Lupine shook his head lightly, "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the only school in the UK, which also means that it will be a microcosm of the British wizarding world."

"miniature?"

"Hmm." Lupine drank his lipstick tea and looked at the castle spire outside the window with an inexplicable expression. "The wizarding world doesn't only have wizards, but people only care about wizards. Wizards don't only have white wizards and black wizards, but people only care about them." these two groups."

"There are too many groups that are ignored."

"The existence of some people in this magic school represents the interests of a certain minority group."

"Professor Flitwick, represents the goblin group."

"He will respect Dumbledore, but Dumbledore can only use his status as headmaster to direct him to do things. Once things go beyond the headmaster's status, it is impossible for him to stand behind Dumbledore."

Anton was thoughtful, "Wise man?"

In the era when the ancient goblins flourished, they were often separated into groups all over the world, and each group had one to three wise men.

And these wise men, gathered together, are the council of guides.

Lupine pursed his lips, "The wise men have been killed by wizards, except for Pedro, a goblin with a special identity, all of them are dead. The International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic of various countries will not allow any goblin wise man appear."

Pedro's ability to survive until now is inseparable from the relationship with the ancient wizard, which is another story.

"Now goblins have no wise men, no guides, only guardians. Their existence is the guarantee that goblins will not be completely enslaved or slaughtered."

"That's why Professor Flitwick can't help Dumbledore in his personal capacity, otherwise he will represent the goblins and stand against the mysterious man."

"Similarly, as a school student, you can get his guidance, but if you are in a private capacity, you will only get his disgust."

"!!!"

Anton gasped in disbelief, "Because I'm a wizard?"

Lupine shrugged, "It's not for this reason, Flitwick is not hostile to wizards. The reason is very simple, you are the apprentice of Pedro's apprentice, and Pedro has a particularly bad reputation among the goblins. He is called a traitor. By."

"..."

Anton sighed, took a sip of black tea, and felt a little emotional, "For hundreds of years, he has watched his tribe being enslaved like this, no wonder those goblins."

Lupine still shook his head, "This is what I want to tell you. In fact, I am also a well-known traitor in the werewolf clan, because I joined the Order of the Phoenix and fought for wizards. And they..."

His expression was a bit complicated, "They joined the Death Eaters' camp and fought for the future of the werewolves."

"I'm just lucky. Although everyone is fighting on their own, I still get their approval."

"But that's not the main thing."

Lupine looked at Anton with a smile, with an indescribable firmness in his tender face, "The most important thing is that we should be clear about what we want, and that is not to be influenced by anything, any spell, or anyone. "

"What Pedro seeks is the inheritance of goblin wisdom. This is the responsibility of him, the only surviving goblin wise man, to preserve the goblin culture. Waiting for the era of goblins to come, as a stepping stone, for the next generation of goblins to send The great gift of inheritance."

"Maybe hundreds of years later, maybe thousands of years later, maybe tens of thousands of years later."

"As long as the goblin doesn't face the danger of genocide and extinction, he will never make a move."

"And he will eventually refine himself into a coordinate, so that latecomers will have a way to enter the memory of the ancient goblin to find the ancient inheritance."

"For that purpose, he doesn't care about his reputation."

"As for me, I also have my particularity. My school experience and my pure-blood family background all forced me to stand against the mysterious man. But my werewolf status forced me to stay away from my former companions. "

"I have my persistence, so those rumors can no longer affect me, and everyone's opinions can't influence me."

"how about you?"

Lupine stared at Anton with a smile, "I know, you are the most special one, no one can define a position for you, except yourself."

Oh, this topic, if Lupine had asked before, Anton could not answer it yet.

Now, Anton felt the warmth of the ray of sunshine in his heart, and smiled slightly, "Traveler."

"traveller?"

"Yes, walk around more, see more, appreciate the magic of the wizarding world, see the beauty of magic, that's all."

Travelers, this is an interesting shift. From a passer-by who saw things briefly at the beginning, to a traveler who is eager to learn more about the world now, Anton is slowly integrating into this world.

"Traveler..." Lupine raised his head and thought for a while, then clicked his tongue, "Then it is fate that you met me."

As he said that, he looked at Anton tenderly, "Then I, a 'wanderer', will take you, a 'traveler', to see the world together."

A vagabond is different from a traveler. A vagabond longs for a stable place to live and a home.

Now Lupine finally had a family.

Therefore, it is inevitable that wanderers take travelers out to play together, always with their families.

So, on the weekend before Christmas, Ilsa also joined the tour group.
