harry potter book of crimes

As we all know, in the early stages of the development history of wizards, which can still be traced today, war was almost the main theme. Not to mention that various magical creatures have caused wars, and there has never been a lack of war between wizards.

Fight openly and secretly.

The specific era in which the brother and sister Baal and Astaru lived is now impossible to verify. Even Maka has no way of knowing this.

However, in a certain ancient book, there was indeed mention of a wizard war that happened to happen in that story.

"Astaru...and Baal, immediately follow your teacher to Valkiha Castle and ask Lord Val for asylum. Do you understand? You must protect your mother along the way and wait for your father there honestly.

!”

No matter how high-sounding the reason for war is, war is always cruel. Baal and Astalu's father is a local lord, but because of this, he understands better that he and his territory may both be involved in this war.

It was completely destroyed by the enemy during the war.

Perhaps in the eyes of his subjects, he, the lord, has knights, archers, and even three great wizards under his command. But he knows very well that even if the strength stationed in his territory is doubled, it will not be enough.

There may be even the slightest chance of winning.

Therefore, even though many people didn't know that he could barely be considered a wizard himself, he still preferred to let the wizard who was teaching his children take his family to evacuate first.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to retreat, but he can neither abandon his territory and people, nor let the enemy chase after him.

There was no way, when the patrolling scout discovered the enemy's situation, the distance between the two sides was already too close - so close that he did not dare to leave the place at all, for fear that the other party's cavalry would accidentally bypass him and directly catch up with his own.

Wife, daughter and children.

"Dad!" "Father!"

Astalus and Baal shouted almost in unison, but saw their father just shook his head gently, slowly but firmly.

"Be obedient," their father said seriously, "children, you have grown up and you should understand when it is time to do something." Go...immediately! Right now!

In that era, wizards were surprisingly powerful. But no matter how strong Astalu's magical talent was, it would be impossible to develop it without years of study.

Different from the spells of modern wizards, the difficulty of getting started with magic at that time was far from being easily overcome by a "genius". Therefore, in ancient times, wizards tended to be older and more skilled, with almost no exceptions.

.

After all, the brother and sister Astalu and Baal wisely took their mother away from the land where they grew up, and set off in a carriage to live a life under the fence.

The lord of Valkiha Castle accepted them without any surprise - this was certainly not because their father had a close relationship with this lord. The reason why Lord Val agreed to let them stay in his territory was entirely because of Asta.

Lu and the teacher of Baal.

Yes, in those days, any wizard who was willing to stay in the territory was extremely valuable. Compared with adding a powerful wizard to his territory, a few more mouths to eat were nothing.

?

However, just a few days later, the bad news came.

In Valkiha Castle, no one was surprised that the hometown of Baal and Asta Road was destroyed, because there was a scale in the hearts of everyone who knew about it, and their father was destined to be the one who was tilted high.

one end of.

When the terrible news reached the ears of the brother and sister, they and their mother hugged each other and shed tears of grief.

They don't even know how their father died, or by whose hands he died.

"Be strong, time will heal the pain."

This sentence is indeed very reasonable. I wonder if anyone could comfort the brother and sister who were immersed in grief like this at that time. Unfortunately, even if someone is willing to say this, God has not left them enough time.

Slowly wash away the scars in your heart.

Just the day after the news of the death came, the scout team of Fort Valkiha brought back another even more terrifying news - that surprisingly powerful enemy group actually chose to continue to penetrate deeper, and soon they would

Arriving at Fort Valkija!

Do they want to run away again? No, behind them is an open plain. Even if they run away now, they will be overtaken sooner or later.

Astalu, knowing that she would not be able to escape, had a conversation with her teacher. No one knew what the two said, not even her brother Baal.

And that night, Astaru disappeared from everyone's sight.

"...Sarah, is this what you want to show me?"

It was that night that Maka stood on the hillside on the outskirts of Fort Valkiha and glanced behind him. In fact, he had already noticed Sarah's spiritual will before the last scene change.

Before he finished speaking, in the middle of the open space, a petite figure gradually became clear from blur, just as the environment changed at first.

"Maybe, maybe not... who knows?"

Sarah pursed her lips, turned her head and looked ahead, saying reluctantly.

Her heart at this moment was far less peaceful than what could be seen on the surface, because she had not originally intended to interpret this story so "accurately". If Maka's soul was not so heavy that it was difficult for her to balance it, at this time

She was probably dragging Maka completely into this story long ago and tormenting him in various ways.

It's a pity that now she can not only let the story in her heart develop step by step, but she can't even interrupt it. She can only wait eagerly for this spiritually constructed world to come to an end and return to the pure white world again.

nothingness.

This feeling of being controlled by others is not pleasant at all!

After Maka heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. He couldn't hear the depression hidden in this little girl's tone. But even so, this method of dragging people into the spiritual world without warning was still

It really shouldn’t be underestimated.

Fortunately, this little girl from the Hohenheim family is not the kind of person with malicious intentions. Otherwise, the harm her method can cause would not be so small.

"The power of alchemy is really wonderful... I am looking forward more and more to the legacy that Mr. Nico Flamel will leave to this world!" Maka looked into the distance and sighed, "Sarah, there is

Are you interested in participating in the next International Alchemy Competition?"

"Not interested in!"

Behind Maka, the little girl secretly rolled her eyes at him, and then immediately turned her face away.

"What about Hogwarts? I heard that you are going to study at Beauxbatons, but I would rather suggest that you come to our Hogwarts," Maka said casually, "You can make a lot of good friends here, right?"

"No!" Sarah didn't even turn her head to look at him this time, and gave the answer directly.

Maka shrugged and nodded indifferently.

"Well, Beauxbatons is also good. At least there are more girls than here. Madame Maxime and I are quite familiar with each other. I can let her have more..."

As he was talking, he suddenly raised his brows slightly, and his words were interrupted. After a while, he suddenly turned around, with a rare look of surprise on his face.

"How did you know that?"

As he asked, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the place he was looking at just now. However, Sarah did not answer his question this time. She just stared at Maka's face for a moment, and then quickly looked away again.

.

The direction that Maka pointed was actually a horse road. This road was exactly the route Baal and Asta took when they fled to Valkihar Castle. If you keep going forward, you can reach the place where they were raised.

piece of land.

Of course, at this moment, this road has turned into a road to hell. What is waiting ahead is not the hometown and memories, but the mighty enemy army and the home that has long been in ruins.

But at this moment, there was a girl standing on the horse road. She was pretty and charming, with fair skin and blond hair. Under the particularly bright moonlight that night, a trace of perseverance appeared on her face.

This girl's name is "Astaru".

Of course Maka still remembered that he had read in books that Astra used a special kind of magic to protect most of the people in Valkihar Castle, including her family. And in order for her to be able to do this

At this point, the price she paid was her own life.

This is a rather vulgar and beautiful story, just right for putting children to sleep. But even so, the book never describes in detail what kind of "special magic" it is.

However, at that moment, Maka saw that extremely real scene - the girl's whole body was lit up with crystal spots under the moonlight, and the tiny spots of light swirled around her body lightly, falling bit by bit.

Towards the ground.

Whenever a speck of light blends into the earth, a sapling will burst out of the ground and grow at an extremely fast speed. As the number of specks of light increases, the girl's figure becomes increasingly hazy.

It was as if she herself had transformed into the thousands of spots of light, spreading out in a flourishing manner.

Just when most of Valkihar Castle was submerged by the entire sea of ​​trees, the girl's figure finally disappeared completely and there was no trace anymore. And at that moment, countless colorful flowers suddenly bloomed in the sea of ​​trees.

flowers, little fairies only the size of a baby's fist were born.

After that, the fairies naturally blocked the invading enemy army and protected the entire Fort Valkiha. But this miraculous result was not the final ending of this story.

Of course, what Maka was more curious about than the ending that she already knew was where did Sarah know about this magic?
