Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Two weeks before the end of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared to a dazzling meringue color, and the muddy grounds were covered with a shiny frost one morning.

The castle is full of Christmas atmosphere.

Professor Flitwick, Master of Charms and Head of Ravenclaw House, has decorated his classroom with shimmering light sources that are actually little fairies that keep flapping their wings.

All the students were happily discussing vacation plans.

Both Ron and Hermione decided to stay at Hogwarts, Ron said he couldn't stand spending two weeks with Percy, Hermione insisted she was going to the library, but Harry knew : They did it to keep him company, and he was grateful—

The only thing that made Harry a little unhappy was that "Tiera" chose to leave school this holiday, which means that this would be the first Christmas without Tiera by Harry's side since he entered Hogwarts. This made Harry a little uncomfortable.

At the same time, the real Tiera finally reached the end of his dream trip before Christmas——

He came to trade with the Moon Beasts for the copper of the pillar, the silver of the flow and the gold of the sky, and he was not looking for a fantasy like Randolph Carter, so when Tiera did not find a **** in the coastal jungle city and the desert trade center When the three essential materials for the ceremony, Tiera resolutely set foot on the black multi-galley galleon of the Lengyuan residents, starting from Dilas-Lin, passing through the huge Xuanwu Mountain Pillar Forest and the magnificent Kari in the west. Su Ya, leaping out from the giant waterfall behind the Basalt Pillar Forest, heading for the emptiness and darkness behind the waterfall——

The big ship is getting farther and farther from the earth, silently shooting into the planetary space like a comet——

Tiera had entered the cabin before flying out of the waterfall, enduring the terrible stench and staying with the ugly Lengyuan residents.

Although Tiera felt that the thin layer of deck was useless at all, Tiera tried to avoid being exposed to the void of the universe, so as not to be noticed by other outer gods——

Something invisible, dark, lurking in space, wriggling and struggling, these things stay in this terrifying space, staring maliciously at, grinning, and sometimes even grinning at the sailors who might pass by. Touch and feel the moving objects that pique their curiosity with their slimy claws. These things are the nameless hatchlings of the Outer Gods, they are as blind and foolish as the Outer Gods, and at the same time have an unusual hunger and desire—

Fortunately, this dangerous voyage did not last long. Soon, the helmsmen adjusted their direction and sailed towards the moon.

The moon at this time was a new moon, and as they approached, the moon emitting bright moonlight became larger and larger, and Tiera could clearly see the strange craters and disturbing peaks on the moon.

The sailboat soon rounded the edge of the moon, and sailed over lands that man had never seen before, when a strange landscape appeared on the earth that clearly showed signs of life there.

Tierra saw many low, wide, round huts scattered in the field of whitish grotesque mushrooms, and he noticed that the huts had no windows, and their shapes were reminiscent of those built by the Eskimos. Temporary hut -

yes!

Tiera suddenly reacted. He remembered that among the many famous disappearances on earth, there was the collective disappearance of the Eskimos.

These disappearances are the same:

The Eskimo's hut was empty, not even half a person. Many huts still have sins on their stoves, and the lids are lifted to reveal some cooked food, while other huts have several sealskin tops being sewn, but only halfway through, it seems. Because the needles made of animal tusks are still stuck on the clothes-

These Eskimos seem to drop half of their work or eat half of their food and just disappear.

After passing those Eskimo-like huts, Tiera caught a glimpse of a greasy wave rising over the sluggish sea, and realized that their voyage would again fall back to the water—or at least some kind of liquid.

The hull made a strange noise as it broke through the surface of the liquid, and Tiera was puzzled by the strange, elastic state of the waves as they received the hull. Then they began to glide over the oily sea at a great speed, passing another galley of similar appearance and saying hello.

But a cursory look shows nothing but this strange sea and sky above. Although the sun was scorching hot on the sky at this time, the sky was still black and strewn with stars.

Before long, the front of the galley gradually lifted a rugged coast of indented mountains, and at the same time Carter saw a city—

The city was clustered with unpleasant grey towers, and the sloping, curved appearance of these towers, their clustering, and the way they were built without windows at all made the prisoner rather uneasy.

The creepy stench of the city intensified as the coastline drew closer. At the same time, Tiera saw large forests growing on those indented mountains, and some of the trees in those forests were clearly descended from the same ancestor as the solitary moon tree in the magical forest on Earth.

It is from the sap of this tree that the little brown Zugs make their fantastic wine.

When the sailboat was moored in the harbor, Tiera could already distinguish the moving figures on the stench ahead—

Or monsters, because they're not human at all, not even human at all.

If Tiera hadn't seen the portrait of this monster from Merlin's notebook, Tiera would probably have vomited out now——

This was an ugly shock from a completely different worldview from his own——

They were huge, slimy, gray-white creatures that could expand and contract freely.

And their appearance - though changing frequently - is roughly like that of eyeless toads, with a clump of short, quivering pink tentacles growing at the tip of their vaguely blunt snout. These things staggered busy around the pier, and from time to time, with their forepaws grasped the long oars, they jumped on and off the anchored galleys. Occasionally, one of these creatures can be seen chasing a group of clack-clacked slaves. The slaves actually looked a lot like humans with wide mouths, very similar to the merchants who did business in Dilas-Lynn, only those without hoods, clothing, and shoes looked less human. .

The creatures would unload some of the slaves—the foreman would pinch experimentally, picking out the fatter ones—before stapling them into giant crates.

Workers push the crates into low-slung warehouses or into huge, bulky caravans.

For those who are thin, they are kept in cages, and they seem to want to sell them on the spot——

And Tiera saw a person or a group of acquaintances——

It is archaeologist Judy Wilson, mysticism lover Ador Kent, geography sister Mitchell McGahn, former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov, and the local guide devastated by mysterious events, Ai. Benny Abhiddin--

Different from the high-spirited appearance when they first set off, now they are sitting miserably in the cage, their eyes are blank, and their bodies are dirty. Among them, the left arm of the former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov is purple and blue, obviously. It was a sign of poisoning, but even so, he was still holding the old suitcase in his arms—

Others also had varying degrees of damage.

The road after they entered the cave was relatively smooth. Although it was dangerous, it was all within their range. The biggest danger they faced along the way was just getting lost and running out of food—

But when they came out of the cave—

When they appeared on the Cold Plateau, the situation took a turn for the worse——

Before the group came to celebrate in a hurry, they were blocked by the cold spider-

It was a huge purple spider with sharp fangs and a strong body—

Although a group of people worked together and barely killed it, it also caused the highest combat power in the team, the former Soviet KGB agent Sumarokov Romanov to directly lose the ability to act——

Immediately afterwards, they met the Lengyuan residents who were attracted by the sound of battle.

What happened after that can be imagined. They were captured by the Lengyuan residents as slaves and transported here——

But because most of the team are of the skinny type~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and the only tall man among them was seriously injured, so although they arrived a few days earlier than Tiera, they still did not The moon beast is willing to buy—

"You are lucky." Tiera said with a smile, and then gently reached forward and grabbed—

The archaeological team in the cage disappeared instantly, and at the same time, the old suitcase appeared in Tiera's left hand.

Tiera waved her right hand again, and a large book appeared under Tiera's right armpit——

Just after he's done all this—

A native of the Cold Plateau appeared behind Tiera—

"Humans," said the resident of the Cold Plateau, "the high priest is willing to accept your offerings."

"Regarding matters related to pillar copper, flowing silver and sky gold, the ritual group hopes to discuss with you in detail face to face."

"Of course no problem." Tiera nodded and said, "Please lead the way."
