Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 624
In this world, there are many areas that Muggles don’t know about. They are scattered all over the world, silently maintaining the scenery that has been like a day for thousands of years.X23US.COM update fastest
Of course, the reason why these areas are unknown to Muggles is mostly because of the various natural or man-made dangers that exist in them.
Such as the fire dragon farm in Romania, the ghost swamp in the depths of the Manchak swamp in the United States, the world's largest fire crab reserve in the Danakil Desert in Ethiopia, etc., are some of the more famous places in these areas.
The Tavon and his son, who had previously met Maca next to Fisher's house, are now in a no-man's land completely cut off from the Muggle world, slowly marching against a violent snowstorm.
This is Iceland, an island land close to the north of the world.
"Sit down and rest."
Walking in the continuous wind and snow is quite physically exhausting. Even ordinary wizards will be discouraged from the weird glacier area that has been swept by snowstorms all the year round, not to mention the weird combination of dumb guns and children.
Under his father's instructions, Ens curled his lips secretly and sat down on the leeward behind a huge ice block.Although his whole person was almost frozen, the stubbornness in his heart still made him reluctant to show a half of cowardice.
Old Taweng naturally saw his son's expression, but he didn't say anything cruel this time, but took off the backpack on his back and took out a package.
It is almost impossible to make a fire in this violent storm, but he is not a real Muggle after all.Soon, when he unwrapped the package and placed a crucible inside in the snow in front of him, he saw that he took out a small brown paper package.
When the son Ensi saw him, he glanced a little curiously.It was just because he hated his father since he was a child, so he just took a look and didn't ask a word.
Old Taweng naturally ignored his son, he just opened the kraft paper package to himself, carefully pinched a small amount of red powder with three fingers, and sprinkled it under the cauldron against the wind.
As soon as the powder touched the thick bottom of the crucible, a large amount of flame suddenly burst out, and it burned in the ice and snow.
Until now, the old Taweng poured the dry food and water in the package into the cauldron and cooked it silently.
In fact, starting early this morning, the father and son have already set off for this violent no man's land.By now, Ensi's stomach is of course already hungry.
But in this strong wind, the aroma of cooking food must be inaudible.Therefore, Ensi, who has not been eaten to arouse his appetite, just stared at the orange-red flame under the cauldron, staring at it as if to see through it.
In his eyes, who had never been in contact with the magic world since he was a child, this magical and peculiar scene has deeply attracted him.Reminiscing about the magical methods that Maca had shown before at home, this would inevitably make him expect a lot of wizards and magic.
Of course, he would never ask about his father, even if he didn't even think about it at all!At this point, perhaps it is the similarity between the father and the son!
Since the old Taweng threatened, the two men, the older and the younger, haven't said any unnecessary nonsense, and it is still the case now.After they hurriedly filled up half-satisfied by themselves, they took a short rest, and then ignoring the snow and wind, they set off again on a road where they don't know where to go.
No, Old Taweng probably knew it, but he didn't even explain it from beginning to end.
The environment is still harsh, and the violent snowstorm seems to never end, blowing lifelessly.Just eating the warm food in the stomach did not keep the body warm for long. In just a few minutes, Little Ensi felt the initial coldness continue to extend to his torso.
As for the limbs?Hey, I was so cold that I didn't feel much!
The legs are moving forward mechanically, and the unstoppable breathing represents the gradual exhaustion of physical strength, but it also means the loss of heat.After a long time, when Little Ensi realized that the originally gloomy sky was getting darker, was a thought flashed through his young but shrewd mind that it was almost night?
However, at the moment when his little guess was fleeting, the surrounding wind and snow suddenly became much smaller.Without the dense snowflakes obstructing his vision, he realized that he had actually arrived inside an astonishingly large snow cave.
Right in front of that, the entire field of vision was getting darker and darker with the deep blue and white cave, while behind, there were wild snowflakes outside the snow cave.This one after another is like a world of difference.
"rest."
After continuing to walk for a short distance, probably because he had already walked a lot, but perhaps because the deeper place was too dark, the old Taweng always chose to rest at this moment.
After he lighted up the fire as before, he did not take out the cauldron immediately after him, but took an unlit torch from his backpack and put it aside.
"Sit down, little bunny!" He pulled the scarf covering half of his face, and shook off the snowflakes from his body at random, and then sat down against the ice wall on the side of the cave.
Little Ens curled his lips again, and then sat down next to the fire reluctantly. Of course he was exhausted long ago, but in his heart he was reluctant to listen to his father, so that even sitting was very awkward. .
After all, he is just a child who has just entered the rebellious period.
"Boy," after a short pause, Old Taweng continued, "Didn't you always want to know about your mother? I will tell you today that what you are walking now is the way to your mother's ancestral land. road."
"Ancestral land?"
Little Ensi also subconsciously tore open the thick scarf, repeating this somewhat strange vocabulary again.As for the discord between him and his father, it has long been washed away by the sudden word "mother".
"It's the place where the ancestors lived," Old Taweng explained patiently. "In fact, this trip was originally the custom of your mother's family...Before your mother died, Lao Tzu promised her: If you follow her If your blood is on the path of a wizard, Lao Tzu will bring you over and let your boy follow the rules of her family to the end of this snow cave."
"The end? What's that place?" Ensi asked with some confusion.
However, the old Taweng shook his head immediately.
"I've never been in," he seemed to fall into a memory, and then he was silent for a while before continuing, "I followed your mother at the time, and I was almost here as far as I was, and no longer went deep. "
"Uh..." Little Enston was surprised for a while, "So, the next road is the first time we walked?"
"It's not'us'," Old Taweng glanced at his son faintly, "On the road from now on, you will walk alone. I won't go in with you."
Little Ensi could not help but glance at the torch that was randomly thrown on the ground.Only then did he understand that this torch was just something for himself!In this way, even if he had been courageous since he was a child, he couldn't help but give birth to a chill that was colder than the surrounding temperature.
How deep this snow cave is, and whether there is unknown danger in it, he has no way of knowing here.
"Old man, are you serious?"
It is not too much to call his father the "old man", because when he gave birth to this son, Ta Weng seemed to be already quite young.Of course, Ens has hardly called "Dad" a few times since he was sensible. This "old man" is certainly appropriate, and there is also some disgust and rejection in it.
But at this moment, there was only stunned and unstoppable fear in his heart.
"Hey, are you afraid?" The old Taweng sneered disdainfully. "If you are afraid of death, just say that I can take you home anytime, and then you will grow up to adulthood honestly and be a magical Ordinary people. How? If you decide, just tell me."
After that, he shrank his neck, turned his head and looked at the fire, ignoring his son again.
Although he was in the snow cave now, the blizzard outside had almost no effect, but the coldness still existed.In this icy world, the numb hands and feet and the sore cheeks kept warning Ens, and they continued to aggravate his inner fear.
Looking at the bottomless deep gloom in the depths of the snow cave, little Ensi squeezed his body and sat on the warm fire with his knees.He just felt that everything around him was shouting to himself to give up!go home!What's wrong with being an ordinary person?
Yes!This father, who is always fierce and rude, and even fists at him, is not qualified at all, but at least he raised himself to such an age.Except for the brutal treatment that would make him intolerable from time to time, he has never been treated badly by what he eats or drinks.
Compared with the unknown fear, what can't stand this humiliation?When I have enough skills to move out and live alone, won't all bad things be over?
Single-parent children like Little Ensi, coupled with the fact that their father always beats and scolds, tend to mature much earlier than their peers.Even though there are still many things he doesn't understand in his short life, the most basic independent thinking has been secretly erected.
It's just that under his uncomplicated thinking, the word "mother" kept circling in his mind, lingering for a long time.
"I'll go," he said abruptly in the end, "dead old man!"
