384 Chapter 38, Old Friends

"Monster!!!"

With a scream that could shatter glass, chaos swept the entire church hall in seconds.

The soldiers frantically shot at the huge creature in the church, and the prisoners on the ground fled frantically holding their heads.

The scorching bullets landed on the wings, making a clanging sound of metal clashing. Hoffa pressed his huge paw heavily on the ground. As the lightning rolled across the hall, countless pillars and stone hands protruded from the ground, capturing all the soldiers who were shooting, including the female doctor.

Hoffa spread his wings and swept the statues, stools and chairs in the church into a mess in an instant. Then he bowed his head, held the palm-sized man in front of him, and asked with great interest, "What did you just say, how does magic work, can you repeat it?"

The woman almost fainted at the sight of such a huge creature. She gritted her teeth tightly, and there was no part of her body that was not shaking.

"Say it, if you don't say it, I will crush you to death."

Hoffa threatened.

Death has a great deterrent effect for some people, the woman said with gritted teeth: "Magic. Magic magic magic."

"Well, keep talking."

"No no. No."

The stone arm tightened slightly.

"ah!!!!"

Accompanied by screams and violent spasms and tremors, a foul gas flowed out of the woman's crotch, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

Seeing this, Hoffa sneered, "Is this the only level? You are arrogant. I thought your bones were very hard."

The people in the church hall fled in all directions, screaming again and again. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Hoffa withdrew his transfiguration technique, stood in front of Adebegoshak, tore off his shackles, and said, "Professor, I I'm here to pick you up."

Unexpectedly, the screams stimulated Adebegshak, and he grabbed Hoffa's arm and shouted loudly: "Bach, Bach, why did you come here, why did you come here, why did you come here Here we come.!"

Hoffa was taken aback. Professor Gosak's condition seemed to be worse than he had imagined.

"Go! Go quickly!" Adbegoshack shouted incoherently: "Take Miranda and go quickly, and never come back! Don't come back!"

Hoffa shook Adbe's shoulders vigorously, and shouted: "Professor, professor! I'm back, and I'm all right."

"Bach. Get out of here. They will catch you and take Miranda. Get out of here quickly!" the old man said deliriously.

"Professor! Professor!" Hoffa shouted to Adbe, but Adbe slowly closed his eyes and fell into a coma in his arms.

"Professor Goshak has suffered a lot."

"He's out of his mind," one man said.

(After Hoffa turned into a Thunderbird and created a huge chaos, most of the prisoners who were chanting in the church had fled for their lives. However, a man in his fifties did not run away, but stayed in Adbe Goshak's side.)

"You are?" Hoffa felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't name him. "

"Bach, don't you remember me? I'm Rainer, the school doctor at Hogwarts."

The man said sadly.

Hoffa's expression changed, and it turned out to be Reiner, the school doctor. He vaguely remembered that when he was injured at Hogwarts, it was he who gave him critical treatment many times.

"Doctor Rainer, how did you end up here?" he asked.

"A year ago, Goshak took us to the Muggle world to investigate the root of narcolepsy, but unexpectedly, we also fell into a coma during the investigation. When we woke up, the magic had disappeared. We were imprisoned Here, reciting strange things all day and night, I think if I hadn't seen the Thunderbird, I would almost have thought that Hogwarts was really just a dream I once had." The school doctor said sadly.

Hoffa stared blankly at the drowsy Adebegoshak, feeling extremely heavy in his heart for a moment.

"Is there any hope, Dr. Reiner?"

"Maybe, but the changes are so fast that I don't know what to do anymore. Those traditional methods are failing one by one. Bach, you can still turn into a Thunderbird, which shows that you are on the way to recover your magic power. Farther than us, tell me, what exactly is to be done?"

Hoffa looked at Professor Gosak, who was smiling in his sleep, and his heart moved slightly. He asked, "Do you know the hometown of Professor Gosak?"

"home?"

"That's right, the place where he lived with his son."

"If I remember correctly, the place should be on Hegolan Island."

After thinking for a moment, Reiner said affirmatively, "It's on Hegolan Island."

Hoffa picked up the sleeping Goshak.

"Let's go, let's go there together."

Two days later, Hoffa arrived at Hegoland Island, located in the southeast of the North Sea in Europe, with Adebe and Leiner on his back. After stepping off the ship that brought them here, they saw waves over 5 meters high beating fiercely. to the dock. Dark clouds hung over the sky and met the leaden horizon in the distance.

The surrounding scenery is familiar but unfamiliar to Hoffa. He once came here in the Pensieve when he was in the first grade. However, time has passed, and those long-term memories are like castles on the beach, and there is nothing left.

Passing through bands of colored sandstone, they came to the only village on the island. Although it is a village, there are no people on the island. Like most of the villages that Hoffa saw during his travels, they are deserted and eroded.

Since no one lives here, it has been occupied by animals and plants, the most conspicuous of which is the ubiquitous violets, which are dotted on the ground and dance slightly with the wind.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, unexpectedly, Adbergorshak gradually calmed down, his tension these days was taken away a little bit, and the whole person relaxed on Hoffa's back.

"Go home"

he muttered on Hoffa's back.

Hoffa was overjoyed to see Professor Gosak finally sober up. He said, "Professor, is this your hometown?"

"Yes, Bach."

"Where is your home, I will take you to find it."

Hoffa said.

"Go to the high part of the island, where I live in the house." He said softly.

"We're almost there, Professor. It's safe here, and no one will force you to recite those things anymore." Hoffa comforted softly.

Adbe didn't speak.

When Hoffa came to the heights of the island, they saw a relatively old and relatively well-preserved ancient building here. It has a small courtyard with rusty signposts creaking in the wind.

"House of Gorshack. Here it is, Bach."

The school doctor Reiner pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard for him.

The building was locked, but Hoffa just pulled it lightly, and the rusted iron lock was opened. Pushing open the door, what came into view was a very quaint old German-style living room, with a fireplace, reclining chairs, and several sets of dilapidated sofas. Of course, these furniture have long been covered with thick dust and cobwebs.

Hoffa came to the fireplace with Adebe on his back. There was an old man's reclining chair. The strange thing was that, unlike the surrounding objects that were covered with thick dust, this group of reclining chairs was clean and spotless, as if they were often used by people.

At this time, Hoffa didn't bother to think about why, and he carefully placed Adebe on the recliner. He went out again to collect some firewood and lit the fireplace. On the other hand, Reiner went to fetch some water from the well outside, and dug out some kettles from the house to clean them.

While they were doing these things, Adbe lay on the couch and watched Hoffa quietly.

When Hoffa lit the fireplace, Adbe suddenly reached out and called, "Hoffa, come here."

Adbe seldom called Hoffa by his name directly. He quickly squatted beside the recliner and held his palm: "Professor."

"Hoffa, are you and Miranda okay?" He asked in a deep voice.

Hoffa was taken aback, "Miranda is out, maybe, it will take some time before she comes back."

"You didn't argue, did you?" he asked again.

"No." Hoffa replied.

"That's good." Adbe heaved a sigh of relief. He touched Hoffa's palm and said, "Don't go to the Ministry of Magic in the future. Don't go to Hogwarts either. Find a quiet place, a peaceful place. Life is just fine. I was too strict two years ago, always trying to prove something, family, career, huh. But now you look at me." He shook his head, took Hoffa's hand and said, "Promise me , Hoffa, don't follow Nimon's old path with Miranda, and don't follow my path, okay?"

(Nimon is Adbe's son. Also Miranda's father, died early.)

Hoffa looked at the earnest eyes of Adbergorshak, and there is no doubt that this is the most sober moment for him in the past few days. Hoffa approached Adbe, knelt down, and whispered in his ear: "Professor, I'm looking for Miller."

Adebegorshak was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head somewhat disheartened.

"I don't know any Miller," he said.

Hoffa said anxiously: "Professor, I need help, I need help to find Miranda, and I also need help to defeat the half-human king. The only person who can help me enough is Miller. Please, tell me where Miller is where?"

Adebe's face changed several times, including helplessness, remorse, and despair. In the end, he waved his hand weakly and said wearily: "Bach, if you miss her, go to her room and look for it. I don't know where she lost her power. When you find her, take her away, take her away."

Talking, talking, he seemed to see something, and shouted: "Nimon! Nimon! Take them away, don't stay here, get out of this damned place quickly!! Nimon! !"

Hearing Adebe's shout, Reiner hurriedly pushed the door in from the outside. He came to Adebegoshak with a glass of water, touched his forehead and checked his eyes. After some inspection, he sighed, "Bach, Professor Gosack may not have much time."

"What?"

Hoffa was shocked: "How could this be?"

Reiner looked at the frantic Adbe, and said with sympathy: "Wizards are spiritual animals, and it takes extraordinary spirit to control supernormal energy. However, not everyone can control that violent energy smoothly. In the life At some point, a lot of people will be thrown off by the beast and eaten by it."

Hoffa looked at Adebe sadly. Whether in reality or in a dream, this man is his elder in a sense. Seeing him like this now, Hoffa couldn't be happy anyway.

"Leave the professor to take care of me, you go do your thing." Reiner said.

Although Hoffa couldn't bear it, he also understood that it was more important to find Miller at such a time. He stood up and bent slightly towards Reiner: "Please, doctor, please take good care of him, at least until Miranda comes back."

Lena nodded: "I promise you."

After getting Reiner's affirmative answer, Hoffa left the fireplace in the living room and searched in this old and dilapidated mansion.

He pushed open the door of the room here, and most of the room was covered with broken furniture and meaningless debris, cracked globes, broken wooden beams and floors, and moldy clothes and cloths, and some rusty cutlery and furniture. It's good to have these things, most of the rooms are empty, only dense cobwebs and thick dust.

When Hoffa reached the second floor, a faint draft blew from a half-open room. With a slight movement in his heart, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Under the effect of the breeze, the door slowly closed.

Compared with the other rooms, this bedroom looked very different, and the reason for the difference was that it contained a bed frame, a small bed frame, a bed frame for a toddler. On the wall outside the bed frame, there are many strange murals painted with paint. If you look carefully, those murals cover a series of elements such as flowers, wands, Quidditch, self-portraits, etc., which are very conspicuous In the place where there is a beautiful bird, it is standing in the flowers, playing happily with the young children in the flowers.

The mural has been around for a long time and has faded, but the aura contained in it is as compelling as it was just born.

In the dream, Hoffa knew almost everything about Miranda, but he had never been here alone.

He touched the murals on the wall lightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if traveling through time and space, he could still see the short-haired girl squatting by the wall painting, her body covered in paint.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was Miranda's smell in the room. The scent of violets made his thoughts drift far, far away. He thought of the decades in his nightmare, and couldn't help but put his hands on the bed frame.

Touching and touching, he felt something was wrong. There was no dust on the bed frame at all, just like the old man's reclining chair below. He didn't think about it before, but now the more he thinks about it, the more wrong he is. Is there anyone living in this house?

There was wind blowing into the room outside the window, and in the breeze, everything in the room was rapidly turning black. Hoffa noticed something and immediately wanted to stand up. However, at this moment, two translucent arms gently and slowly fell from his shoulders.

Hoffa looked at the arms hanging from his chest, and his breathing almost stopped.

"Miss me? Brother-in-law."

Someone laughed behind his back.

Hoffa shuddered, and then wanted to turn around in ecstasy.

But the arm held his head in place forcibly, and the voice behind said, "Look back at me and you'll die, I'll break your neck, Hofferbach, I swear."
