In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

The wizard Grindelwald left behind in the North Pole was named Eric.

This is a wizard who looks very young, only in his twenties at most.

He welcomed Jon and others into the castle made of ice. It was very warm inside. The fireplace dug out of the ice wall was burning with a strong fire, but the high temperature did not melt the ice cubes at all. mean.

"Mr. Principal, you have told me in advance that you will come, but to be honest, I am still surprised that you are so young."

Eric seemed to be a very talkative person. He invited Jon to sit wherever he wanted, and at the same time, he picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of warm black tea.

Jon thanked him and took the tea cup from him.

"I didn't expect Mr. Eric to be so young."

This is not Jon's humble words, but he has always thought that Grindelwald's men are a bunch of old men and old ladies, and judging from Eric's current age, he has obviously only joined the Wiccan Party in recent years. of.

"I just graduated from Durmstrang six years ago. Considering my age, he allowed me to carry out some important work alone in the Arctic. It is indeed a sign of the principal's trust in me."

Jon had a curious look on his face.

"So, what are you working on here?"

Eric smiled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Principal has specifically asked me to tell you about this, so I can't tell you yet, because looking at it now, my research is too ordinary, and it doesn't feel like it's worth continuing."

Regarding his answer, Jon was muttering in his heart, but on the surface he nodded in understanding.

"Okay, let's get down to business, Mr. Eric, what information can you provide me about the Death Eaters?"

Eric waved the wand in his hand, and a piece of parchment as big as a tabletop flew from the wooden cabinet next to it and unfolded in front of them.

There is a map drawn on the parchment.

"Most of the area in the Arctic Ocean is occupied by ice floes. The position of these fragments of ice floating on the sea is not fixed at all times, and they will continue to drift with changes in temperature and seasons, so people are very It is difficult to accurately locate here. However, the ice sheet we are in now is a huge ice sheet connecting the area at the center of the pole. Even in August and September, when the temperature is the highest, the ice here will not melt. Therefore, here On the ice sheet, I drew a simple map and helped you mark the main activity areas of the Death Eaters."

Eric pointed with the tip of his wand to several red dots that were very conspicuous on the map.

"These are places I have discovered before, where Death Eaters have stayed for a long time. However, they seem to rarely appear on the ice. Instead, they go deep into the ice hidden underground. They may be guarding Maybe it’s something you’re looking for.”

Then he turned the tip of his staff to the largest red mark.

"This place is where the largest number of Death Eaters gather now. When they first came here, they didn't pay much attention to it. But just two months ago, there were a number of Death Eaters scattered across the Arctic. Most of them have gathered here, as if they have discovered something new here."

Jon listened to his explanation carefully. The map was very clear, and there was nothing wrong with what Eric said, but there was a very puzzling point on it.

"Besides Mr. Eric, is there anyone else here?"

Eric smiled, understanding what Jon wanted to ask.

"Do you think it's impossible for me alone to monitor and find out the locations and movements of so many Death Eaters at the same time? This question is actually easy to answer. Let me explain it for a moment. Soon you will be able to knew."

Jon shrugged, unfazed by this.

The Arctic research base here is obviously the same as the Norwegian monastery, hiding some secrets about Grindelwald.

Even if Eric refused to answer Jon's question, he wouldn't think anything of it.

Today's lunch was naturally served in an ice castle. Eric's skills are very good. He is an Italian and the pizza he makes is very delicious. Jon was also smart enough not to ask him why he didn't add pineapple to the pizza.

After the meal, Jon rested on the sofa for a while, while Nick took Gabrielle to wander around the ice castle, and then they were about to take the map and leave.

Although Eric seemed to be an easy person to get along with, Jon was not here to make friends this time, and Eric did not hold back. He just suggested to Jon.

"You leave me and continue forward, which is the reconnaissance range of the Death Eaters. They are not many in number, but they have always insisted on patrolling the surroundings. If you still ride a broomstick like this, you will be very conspicuous. There is a high probability of being discovered by them, so you'd better leave the broom here with me and use other methods to move around here."

His suggestion was undoubtedly correct. Jon put down the Firebolt in his hand and looked at Eric.

"So you have better transportation?"

Eric smiled mysteriously.

"follow me."

He took Jon and the others to the back door of the ice castle. After exiting here, they saw a pure white sled parked in front of the door, but the sled dog was not the one driving the sled.

"Xiaobai No. 2!"

Gabrielle shouted excitedly.

That’s right, it’s two polar bears with reins on them!

Jon looked surprised when he looked at this unique sleigh, but then he said hesitantly.

"Polar bears are inconspicuous here, but even if this animal can be tamed, its endurance is not suitable for pulling a sled, right?"

"So, this is certainly no ordinary polar bear."

Eric clapped his hands as he spoke. The two polar bears stood upright from the ground like soldiers who had received the order, and saluted Eric naively!

Jon was even more surprised. Seeing this scene, he remembered the question he asked in the morning.

"Your eyes are these bears!"

"They are natural scouts in the Arctic. Death Eaters will basically not notice them. Moreover, their running speed is not slow, and they are different from ordinary bears. Their endurance is sufficient, and they are not inferior to the most professional sled dogs."

Eric stood next to the sleigh.

"Of course, even if it is pure white, a sleigh will attract people's attention, so I have specially prepared an invisibility cloak for you that is large enough. You can cover the entire sled with it when the bear starts running. In the car. This way, even if any Death Eaters see you, they will most likely think it's just two bears playing around."
