We have received inspiration from the earth and the gods we believe in, and the sorcerer who bears this serpent will be able to help us retrieve the sacred relic of the Druids from Merlin's eternal resting place...
At first, we got the wrong direction and spent several months with no results. After a lot of twists and turns, through ordinary divination and investigation, we finally understood that it seemed to be the underground world of London streets, the identity mark of a sorcerer -- "
Vitia chatted away, while Amostar was frowning and pondering why the druids' divination ritual had resulted in this, no matter from which aspect he had never intersected with them before.
In fact, wizards are a relatively conservative and exclusive group. Even wizards with impure blood can face exclusion in the European magical community, let alone the Druids who have been estranged from the secret wizardry sect for so many years.
"We dared not search for you in the underground world in a big way, because we were afraid that it might bring you trouble. However, when we finally found out who this snake was marking, you suddenly disappeared from the underground world..."
Amostar did not speak. If it were not for Dumbledore's trickery that brought him back to Hogwarts, he and these people might have contacted months ago.
"Reluctantly, my teacher, the elder high priestess of the faith, had to seek the gods' aid once again. And this time, having paid with her life, she finally received clear instructions -- Amostar Brenn."
We have known your name, but at that time, you were teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where there are the most powerful wizards in contemporary magical circles, Albus Dumbledore. If possible, we do not want to deal with this wizard's banner because if the message is leaked, it may cause some misunderstanding to our enemies.
We hid in the shadows and watched your figure, but when you left Hogwarts, discussions about how to approach you started among us.
Some of our allies believed that we should directly find you and explain the reason, and seek your help.
Someone also thought that all the truth should be hidden, as long as we continue to issue commissions in the underground world and provide rewards for the tasks, you will always be attracted -- "
Under the bright moon, the gentle breeze whispered, and Amostar gradually calmed the tense atmosphere. He gazed at the priestess, whose origin and 'true purpose' were shrouded in mystery like veiled by mist, pondering and weighing in his mind.
"However, I hope that before we officially negotiate with you, I can release some goodwill to you so that you can agree... I sent my companions to other countries. Based on the information we obtained from our previous investigation, I found this orphanage and became an orphanage volunteer..."
Hmph...
Amostar snorted coldly, his tone indifferent,
"I, on the other hand, think that the method proposed by your companions is more wise."
The cause and effect are roughly like this, but there are some things that Amostar hasn't yet understood clearly.
"For more than a thousand years, countless wizards and even Muggles have been searching for Merlin's eternal resting place, but except for the black stone tower in the underground world that cannot be opened, no one has found any valuable clues. How do you ensure that the relics you discovered are related to Merlin? Don't tell me it's divination again?"
Vitara remained silent, and Amostar knew that his question likely involved the core secret of the Druidic faith.
"What is there in Merlin's ruins, or what do you want to get from it?"
The ethereal Vitara expressed regret,
"I apologize, Mr. Brenn, I'm unable to answer your question at the moment... But once you accept the commission to enter the ruins, you will eventually find out."
Amostar couldn't help but sneer at her indifferently. Although Vitara didn't say anything, at least she didn't choose to deceive.
"You should be grateful that during your time at the orphanage, you didn't do too many unnecessary things, Miss Kryona," Amostar said casually, "otherwise, the Druid faith might have to find a new high priestess again."
"What do you mean--"
"What can you give me, Miss Kryona? I don't understand the relationship between the relics you mentioned and Merlin, or what kind of danger exists in the relics. But I always know that this mission is very valuable, and even unmeasurable in terms of Galleon. Miss Kryona, what can you pay me?"
.............
As Amostar alone returned to the orphanage, the moon had already risen to the other side of the house. With a faint fragrance of flowers in the cold and deserted air, Amostar stood quietly in the courtyard for a while. Only when his mood calmed down did he walk in gently, pushing open the door and entering the hall.
"Did you kiss?"
As they passed through the third floor, a mischievous voice echoed from the corridor engulfed in darkness.
"Hurry up and go to sleep, little Hanmer, for the sake of your bottom!"
Amostar didn't hesitate a step, and said with a bad temper. He came to a room specially prepared for him on the sixth floor, simply washed in the darkness, sighing in relief after he lay down on the soft mattress.
Although his body was relaxed, his thoughts continued to roll like waves in the storm. Tonight, he had a deeper understanding of the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the magical world.
The Druidic faith suddenly appeared and used several divination spells that Amostar had never paid attention to before to uncover his identity and origin. Although Vitara mentioned that they had paid a great price, in Amostar's eyes, that price was unimportant.
The biggest problem remained the divination result of the previous high priestess of the Druids in the Reading Pavilion.
This mysterious and ancient religious order has been in existence for a long time. Their conflicts with the orthodox church have even been mentioned in Muggle storybooks. Amostar believed that if they truly desired to obtain that legendary magical artifact, then over many centuries, this divination would have been held regularly, but they had never received any revelations.
Considering the 'huge price' mentioned by Vitara, Amostar believes that each generation of Druidic priestesses in their final moments may have conducted such divinations.
But why did they involve themselves in it?
In the still darkness, Amostar's brow furrowed again.
He first heard about the Druidic faith and the ancient surname of "Kryona" from a chocolate frog card he bought from a witch selling peanuts, popcorn, and mineral water on the Hogwarts Express years ago. Later, in his fourth year, Binns Professor mentioned it briefly when discussing the enmities between wizards, Muggles, and the Church in the Middle Ages during his lecture. Out of curiosity, Amostar went to the library to look up some reference materials for his term paper.
But little did he expect that many years later, today, he would actually be dealing with someone named "Kryona"!
After recalling all the memories of his past two decades, Amostar could be certain that he had nothing to do with them. But at the same time, he believed that there must be a deeper secret behind the divination, which he just didn't know yet.
Amostar could discern that most of the things Vitra Kryona had just told him were free from lies, but there were still some things worth pondering over.
A legendary item that could help them resist the assassination by a similarly mysterious sect that has extraordinary influence in the Muggle world made Amostar feel somewhat absurd...
