The Evil God of Hogwarts

"I have told you everything I know, young man." Arbogast said. "If you still want to save your companions, then come with me."

As he spoke, the priest picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the path leading to the village. Xing Ze took out his wand and followed him. The path was not long, but very narrow, barely allowing one person to pass.

Five or six minutes later, the two walked out of the path. What appeared in front of them was a cemetery and an old-fashioned wooden chapel. The church was dilapidated, the door was damaged, half of the ceiling collapsed, and the other half could fall down at any time. possible.

The priest walked to the side of the church, blew out the oil lamp, and said in the moonlight: "That is a mountain road that runs through the entire village. The exit on the other side is at the accommodation. But the road there is not easy to walk, and there are many potholes. , and there are guards.”

"Did you see that house?" the priest asked, pointing to a low-rise residence made of rough red stone not far away.

Xing Ze nodded.

"That used to be the village grocery store, but it's been requisitioned now. You can find some food and drink there, if you need it. The point is, walk along the street next to it. There's a small school nearby, if there is one. If they are pursued by soldiers, the school can hide.

"Don't expect the local residents to open the door to you. The school wall is very low and can be climbed over with a stone. There are no dogs there. Since those outsiders came here, there have been a lot more dogs in the village, especially There are hunting dogs in some important places.

"Your friend is being held in the village hall. I can take you there, but I won't help. For God's sake, I'm so close to figuring out the perfect escape route that you can't let me ruin it like this. ”

Arbogast's last words sounded more like a plea.

"Just take me there. But you also tell me the escape route."

"Come back along the street next to the grocery store and go out through the entrance. There is no other good choice. There won't be too many guards there. There are monsters in the woods, so you'd better go to the grocery store and get some strong flashlights. ”

"Can't I come to you?" Xing Ze looked suspicious, "In my opinion, it is safer to go from your side."

The priest chuckled lightly and said: "Don't be ridiculous, man. Once something happens in the village, those lunatics will be the first to suspect me. How do you think my face became like this?"

"I had faith and helped those who wanted to escape. But in the end it was all in vain. They were caught and I was punished. So, don't expect me to help you. You are asking for your own death by coming here."

Although his heart was still full of doubts, Arbogast did not give Xing Ze too much time to think about it. He walked slowly towards the red stone house.

Xing Ze followed slowly and softly chanted a spell to add the necessary magic to himself.

"What are you muttering about?" asked the priest walking in front.

"Some autosuggestion."

The priest shrugged his shoulders and said: "You are really a weirdo. Most people would have turned around and fled for their lives when they heard what I said. Then they would be as calm as you."

Xing Ze didn't reply. He paid attention to his surroundings, and his sensitive hearing allowed him to catch some movement. It was the sound of a dog panting, very close to them. In addition, there were unhurried footsteps in the distance, which should be the patrolling guards mentioned by the priest.

There is a dog in the backyard of the grocery store. Arbogast pointed to the kennel and motioned to Xing Ze to keep his voice down so as not to disturb him.

But Xing Ze felt that if they needed to pass by here later, the dog would be a hidden danger. He stretched out his arm, and black particles floated in from the gaps in the fence and slowly gathered into a black cat.

There is no need to keep hidden dangers that can be eliminated. The priest walking in front didn't know what was happening behind him. Instead of walking onto the street like before, he walked close to the wall.

Not far away, Xing Ze saw the school. A primary school in this kind of mountainous area is not too big, and the wall is not too high as the priest said. For Xing Ze, he can easily climb over it without even putting anything on it.

After walking through the school, Arbogast stopped. He looked carefully, then turned around and said, "Okay, wait here for the guards to pass before we leave."

Xing Ze had no objection to this. Blue Beak had successfully dealt with the dog and was now turning into a raven and flying towards the location of the patrol guard.

The priest wasn't lying. The guards were indeed not far away from them. And judging from the increasingly clear footsteps, they are coming this way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xing Ze observed the surrounding situation. They are now hiding in the gap between two houses, and they can go out to the street a little further.

Outside the street is a flat open space with many cars parked there. If Mike could still move, he should be able to drive one.

Cars of this era are not like modern cars. You can use some tricks to pry open the door, and then find a way to start the car with a lead to drive. This skill is very familiar to Mike.

If, as Arbogast said, you need to force your way through the main entrance of the village, then a car is necessary, otherwise it will be too passive.

The patrolling guard finally appeared. Xing Ze wanted to see the other party's equipment clearly, but the priest pulled him back. It wasn't until the guard walked away that he asked unhappily: "What are you doing? Don't take it. They act like fools.”

As he said that, he stuck his head out to take a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he continued: "Those people have received special training, and their eyes and ears are very sharp. I don't object to you going to die, but please don't take advantage of me. Okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Arbogast, just continue to lead the way."

The priest wanted to say a few more words, but when he felt a pistol being pressed against his waist, he immediately shut his mouth knowingly. Apparently, he had forgotten his identity.

The two continued forward, walked out of the street, and turned left into another street. The patrolling guards were in the opposite direction from them, so apart from letting Blue Beak secretly eliminate some guard dogs along the way, they didn't encounter too many problems.

Of course, this was for Arbogast. He brought Xing Ze safely to the village hall, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.

"Do you remember the way here?" he asked Xing Ze.

"certainly."

"That's good. If you see the lighted building, that's the village hall. Well, my mission is completed, young man, then I wish you good luck."

Arbogast didn't linger too long. He straightened up, stopped sneaking, and walked quickly along the street.

Xing Ze didn't stop him. This ugly priest did help him a lot. If it weren't for him, Xing Ze would have had to spend some time studying escape routes, which undoubtedly increased the risk of exposure. There was already light on the horizon, and he didn't have much time.
