Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 242 A man-made monster

Then, the boy's expression suddenly changed again, becoming frightened and sad.

"This is a curse - we can't escape - this is our mistake! If you do something wrong, you should be punished!" The boy suddenly hugged his head and cried loudly.

Ethan and Tonks looked at each other. The young Duke in front of them seemed to have some kind of mental illness.

"We made a big mistake! We did such a terrible thing! We deserve to be punished like this! This is our original sin! We deserve to be punished!" The young man's spirit suddenly collapsed. He squatted on the ground holding his head and kept mumbling. muttered.

"So many people - so many people - it only took one night -" The young man seemed to recall something terrible, shaking uncontrollably and crying.

"Fell unconscious!" The butler suddenly raised his wand and used a sleeping spell on the boy.

The boy who was under the sleeping spell fell softly to the ground and became motionless.

The housekeeper quickly picked up the boy, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt. It seemed that the housekeeper often did this kind of thing.

"I'm sorry for letting you see this." The butler apologized to Ethan and Tonks.

"The young master once faced a monster attack and received a very strong mental stimulation. Since then, he has been like this when he was emotionally excited." The butler explained to Ethan and Tonks.

"It's okay." Ethan promised, but both Ethan and Tonks smelled something weird in this matter.

"The young master needs a good rest at the moment, but I can tell you the details of this commission. Come with me." The butler then led Ethan and Tonks to the reception room of the castle.

Ethan and Tonks were sitting on the sofa, with a coffee table decorated with patterns in front of them.

"I brought you some black tea. The cold winter in Poland is perfect for drinking this." The butler politely brought the teapot and teacups on a tray.

Two cups of black tea were poured for Ethan and Tonks. Ethan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The black tea was brewed just right.

From this point of view, this housekeeper is indeed a good and competent housekeeper.

"So, what kind of monster are you facing?" Ethan finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

The issue that the villagers had been avoiding talking about was also the issue that directly caused the young nobleman to collapse.

"It started with old Sir Sapkov, the young master's grandfather -" the butler began to tell a long story.

"The village was still very prosperous at that time. There was a rich coal mine in the mountains, which made the village develop into a wealthy town," the steward recalled.

"At that time, the Sapkov family ran this mining town, and all the townspeople lived on the money from selling coal to the Muggle world," the steward continued.

Ethan nodded aside. This situation is actually very common. Not all small towns in the wizarding world rely on business to survive like Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

In fact, the main functions of Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley are to serve Hogwarts. In other words, most of the credit for the prosperity of Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley now depends on Hogwarts. .

In fact, most of the gathering places for wizards in other places in the magical world are like the former Oshden Village, relying on certain resources to live, and even exchanging living supplies with Muggles.

Of course, this is all based on the premise of not exposing the magic world.

The butler continued, "Suddenly one day, the village of Oshdin was targeted by a group of werewolves. They attacked our village without restraint."

"They attack villagers who act alone at night, kill livestock, and even bite children, turning them into new werewolves one by one." When he said this, the butler's tone was a little solemn.

"Why are they doing this?" Tonks asked strangely. She felt that these werewolves would not be so crazy for no reason.

The butler's eyes flickered several times quickly, as if hesitating to say something, and finally said, "I don't know why they do this, they do this for no reason."

Ethan and Tonks looked at each other, both of them could tell that the butler didn't seem to be completely telling the truth.

"In short, the entire village was invaded by werewolves and could not live a normal life. At that time, Mr. Sapkov also arranged several operations to eliminate werewolves."

"But as long as they are attacked, those werewolves will flee back to the mountains. They know the situation in the mountains better than the villagers, so we have been unable to effectively combat the werewolves."

"So you asked us to drive away the werewolves?" Tonks asked curiously.

"No," the steward said, "werewolves are no longer a threat now."

"Old Lord Sapkov, who was unable to deal with the werewolf crisis, spent a lot of money to hire a wizard from the outside who claimed to be able to solve the werewolf crisis. That man really solved the werewolf crisis one by one, in another way."

After saying this, the housekeeper shook involuntarily, which was also captured by Ethan Octavia.

"I know that everyone is afraid of werewolves! Everyone is afraid of them! They are tall and hairy! They are extremely fierce! They can also infect others! They can even eat people! But as you know, werewolves are still a product of nature."

Suddenly the housekeeper started talking about something unrelated.

"You know, just like dragons, vampires, and phoenixes, they appeared in human history very early - they appeared naturally! You understand!"

The butler's words suddenly started to get confused. He kept saying incomprehensible things to Ethan as if he was frightened by something. The tea cup in his hand also shook violently, and hot tea spilled on his hand. It also made him feel nothing.

"Mr. Butler!" Ethan reminded the butler loudly, and the butler suddenly seemed to be awakened from a dream.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I lost my temper!" the butler said apologetically. He put the tea cup on the table and wiped the tea on his hands with a handkerchief.

"That mage is a lunatic! In order to deal with werewolves, he created something new." The butler suddenly swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, his voice loud.

His eyes were staring ahead, as if caught in some horrifying memory.

"That mage reverse-engineered the werewolf curse. In order to hunt those werewolves, he created an artificial, brand-new species, the dog-man!" The butler's hands began to tremble again.

"From the moment that thing was built, I felt something was wrong!" the housekeeper said tremblingly.

"I don't know how to put it, they just look slender and thin, like ghouls, and their black eyes are just looking at you! You don't know what they are thinking!"

"They are very smart! Smarter than humans! But they are not human beings! They are like terrifying monsters with human intelligence!" The butler's tone was still trembling, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes. Endless fear.
