harry potter book of crimes

After spending their first night in the disaster area safely with the mysterious girl who called herself "White Night" under that tree, when it got dark, the two of them started on their way towards the old London.

So it was another whole cycle of day and night, and it was somewhat difficult to move forward on just two legs.

To be honest, John feels that he should be considered one of the stronger ones among today's wizards - he has loved traveling since he was a child. After graduating from school and before starting work, he visited many countries alone; and even though

During these years of working in the workshop, due to his personality and ability, he often took on missions abroad.

However, this time, as he was approaching forty, he finally felt the ruthless passage of time on the mysterious girl in front of him... To put it simply, he was tired.

"No, isn't it a normal thing to feel tired after traveling for a long time? The problem is definitely not with him, but with the girl in front of him!"

John gasped secretly while looking at the seemingly petite back in front of him and the other person's calm pace that had not changed at all. He frowned slightly - during this day and night of rushing, he himself was still able to do it.

Relying on the dry food he carried with him, he alleviated his hunger several times and replenished the energy consumed by his body. But what about her? In the past two days, John seemed to have never seen the other party eating in any way.

While passing by a river, I drank a few handfuls of clear river water.

Not to mention that John still has doubts about whether the river in the disaster area is clean. Under such intense day and night travel, can he easily survive with just a few sips of water? Not to mention, this girl

His figure and steps were obviously more brisk and natural than John's, as if he didn't feel tired at all.

This is not normal, this is definitely not normal!

Looking at the back of the girl who looked increasingly mysterious and suspicious for various reasons, John felt even more unsure. He didn't know if following her to Old London was a proper choice.

However, after all, he has followed this girl all the way here, and to suddenly give up at this moment feels a bit like giving up halfway. And anyway, going to London was originally his...or rather the destination of their workshop plan.

one.

Of course, the most important thing is that for some reason, the journey with this mysterious girl seemed to be particularly peaceful. If it were him who walked alone, he really wouldn't have much confidence that he would be able to walk to London safely.

No, it should be said that without her, I would have died in the ruins long ago, right? Even if he was not torn to pieces by those particularly powerful enemies, sooner or later he would be hiding in a corner while slowly

Waiting for the ending of death.

Therefore, even if there were still many doubtful factors shaking John's heart, he still chose to continue following the other party in the end.

Until the next morning, as the whole world was once again filled with the gloomy light, the darkness of the night gradually faded away, and John, who was already exhausted, finally saw a scene that he might never forget.

It was a "Pillar of Babel" that went straight up into the sky. Probably because night fell last night and the night had obscured the appearance in the distance, it was not until this morning that John would see that strange pillar on the horizon.

scene.

John was really not sure what it was, and because of the distance, it was difficult for him to estimate the true size of the Optimus Prime at this time. He only knew that in the past, there must have never been any sight in Britain.

There was such a thing.

"what is that?"

Because of his surprise and confusion, John asked subconsciously, with a little hesitation in his words.

And what was rare was that the girl who had not spoken to each other a few times along the way spoke again this time and gave John her answer:

"That's 'London'! It's where we live now... That's where I want to take you."

Somewhat surprisingly, the girl who had always spoken plainly before had a hint of excitement in her tone this time. She seemed to be very happy about rushing back to London.

But……

"...That's London?" John said in a daze, then blinked again, nodded and said, "Well, calculating the position, that direction is indeed London... But, why? That 'pillar'

What is it?"

"That's 'ice'. It's the mark left by the 'master' who froze the city when he fought on a rainy day."

Just because he had had the opportunity to ask some questions a few times before and got a lot of vague answers from the girl, John actually didn't have much expectations for the other party's answers. But this time, when the other party first

When the word "master" was mentioned in the words, John couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat for some reason.

"'Owner'?"

While John was in a trance, he was about to ask her about the origin of this title. But soon, he finally realized what the other party had just said...

"Wait a minute, you mean... someone fought and used magic to 'freeze' the entire city?"

"It's not 'someone', it's the master."

As if to emphatically correct this sentence, the girl stopped and turned around. The words that came out from the shadow under her hood even contained a kind of heartfelt reverence.

But at this time, John no longer had the energy to think about these details. His entire mind was occupied by the shock brought by the icicle reaching the sky in the distance.

Yes, if there were pillars as thick as a city, then this scene would make more sense - even at such a long distance, the icicles are still looming and visible to the naked eye. You know, in fact, the distance here is

London still has a long way to go!

After a moment of silence, John slowly digested the shock in his heart in silence. After a moment of silence, he returned his thoughts to the problem he had noticed before.

"So, miss, who is your 'master'...?" He asked, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and hesitated again, "Could it be... that 'Haier'?"

Mr. Bo'...?"

When he asked the latter sentence, John was already mentally prepared for what he would have to face next - to be honest, their team was originally prepared to contact the ancient dark wizard one day. "

"Despicable Herbo".

However, when he suddenly realized that he might meet the other party soon, John felt a tingling sensation.

Especially... after seeing the shocking scene in the distance with my own eyes.
