"Hello, sir, madam, the ticket is seventeen pounds per person, and the total for two people is thirty-four pounds. If you are willing to pay an extra seven pounds, we can give you a commemorative album and a tour map."
In front of the gate of the scenic spot, the female conductor who looked like she was working as a part-time student had a polite smile on her fat face and said to Amosta and Vitiya who were walking together.
The sunlight from the west border hit Amosta's face. He glanced at Vitiya who was unmoved. Seeing that this woman didn't seem to have any intention of paying, he curled his lips and took out a few coins from his pocket. A note was handed over.
Now, two weeks have passed since Amosta returned to the orphanage. Since graduation, this is the longest time he has stayed there, not only to fulfill his promise to Little Hammer, but also to fulfill his promise to Little Hammer. It was also because he needed some time to think about whether he should agree to the request of the Druid priestess.
After a period of difficult decision-making, Amosta finally agreed.
It's not because of the generous rewards that Vitia can provide. In fact, these Druids, who have been chased around like rabbits by the Holy See for centuries, are all 'poor ghosts'. The Galleons in them It may not even add up to Amostado.
He agreed for two reasons. First, Merlin's ruins were an irresistible temptation for any wizard or Muggle. Even if Dumbledore knew the news, he probably wouldn't mind making a trip in person. Find out, although Amosta still doesn't know what the "Merlin's eternal resting place" called by the priestess is.
Secondly, Amosta has always been very concerned about the divination results of the previous Druid priests before they died. Whether it is the Holy See or the Druidism, they are regarded as religious forces. Amosta asks himself whether he has any relationship with these fanatical religions. I have dealt with people, but I still can't figure out why an orthodox wizard like me would be involved.
However, deep down in his heart, Amosta vaguely felt that there might be some connection with his identity as a time traveler.
It's summer vacation time now, and Stonehenge Park, a famous Muggle tourist area in the UK, located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, is bustling with people, and there are people moving everywhere. This was the case in a previous life, Amor Star had experienced this often, but this was the first time since coming to the magical world.
Among the crowd, Amosta, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a coolness in his arms. He suddenly came back to his senses and realized that Vitiya had been squeezed into his arms by the crowd.
Feeling that it was close to his chest and his back was slightly stiff, Amosta took a deep breath, and a special fresh breath penetrated his nose accurately, making his heart speed up unconsciously, and his consciousness also appeared. A moment of trance.
"Sorry, Mr. Blaine--"
In the commotion, Vitiya's cold voice was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the strange feeling that would inevitably arise in Amosta's heart. He hooked his fingers in his jeans pocket and separated the two people from talking. The movement was blocked.
"Is this the Merlin ruins you call?"
Amosta exhaled heavily and said with a smile,
"Merlin built himself into stone before he died? No wonder no one has been able to find his resting place for more than a thousand years."
Following the flow of people, two people stood outside an iron railing surrounded by white paint. Not far away, a Muggle tour guide was explaining the origins of Stonehenge to a group of middle school students.
"--Salisbury Stone Circle, Ring of Stones, Temple of the Sun, and Prehistoric Stone Table. In different historical periods, Stonehenge had different names. After identification by scientists, it is generally believed that they were created in 2 B.C. It was built for about a thousand years. At present, scientists are still inconclusive as to how the ancient ancestors, who were still in the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, built such a magnificent stone formation despite extremely backward productivity."
"Sir, what did people build it for?"
A Muggle middle school student raised his right hand and asked. The eager gesture made Amosta smile. He thought of Hermione Granger who was rushing to answer questions in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He didn't know this either. How will the little witch feel after seeing Gilderoy Lockhart's report?
"Good question--"
Because of the noise around him, the Muggle male tour guide had to yell at the top of his lungs to make the students hear his voice.
"It is believed that the ancient ancestors built it and related to astronomical observations - the main axis of Stonehenge, the ancient road leading to the stone pillars and the rising sun on the morning of the summer solstice are on the same line;
In addition, there are two stones connected by a line pointing in the direction of sunset on the winter solstice. Therefore, people speculate that this was probably built by ancient humans to observe astronomical phenomena. It can be regarded as the earliest prototype of an observatory! "
"The founder of Gudrui built it not only to use the power of Stonehenge for star divination, but also to absorb the magic power from outside the world."
"Drawing on magic from outside the world?"
In the magic world, the builder of Stonehenge and the purpose of building it are open to public opinion, but the other thing Vitia said made Amosta frown.
"what does that mean?"
Wearing a white floral skirt and a straw hat, Vitiya closed her mouth again. She stared silently at the door made of several boulders. For some reason, there was a faint aura of resistance on her body.
Amosta stared thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly asked,
"Although I don't know what the connection is between this Stonehenge and the ruins you mentioned..., I guess you have gone in there many times, right?"
"You are very wise, Mr. Blaine."
A beautiful and attractive appearance will attract more attention wherever you go.
Many of the tourists around secretly cast their eyes on Vitiya in front of the white railings. However, Amosta, who was walking with her, did not feel envious and proud, but felt a little bad, because He finally found a wizard, other than Snape and Dumbledore, whose level of Occlumency was comparable to his own.
In the following time, the two of them did not communicate too much. They just followed the group of Muggle tourists to visit this magnificent stone formation. Amosta tried to observe this stone formation from a different perspective, but It was faintly discovered that the evenly distributed magic power in the void was strangely distorted in this space.
According to common sense, this situation represents the existence of a high-concentration magic node, but no matter how Amosta looked at it, those stones were just ordinary big stones, nothing special.
In the southeastern sky, a moon shadow has jumped across the horizon of the plain. Amosta and Vitia had dinner at a nearby Muggle restaurant, and then, while the night was still dark, they met with many Muggles who were camping. They set up a tent on the lawn together. Both of them were good at this. They easily set up a dome tent without using magic.
"How long do we need to wait?"
Facing the undulating green waves on the plain, Amosta, who had been silent for a long time, tilted his head and asked.
For some reason, he had a premonition that something terrible would happen in the next exploration. However, this Druid priestess seemed to be very taboo about mentioning the things in the ruins. Whenever Amosta mentioned it casually, she would Immediately fell silent and kept silent.
Peeping glances came from many places around the tent with flashing lights and fires. The Muggle men quietly looked at Vitia, who stood next to Amosta. She was so beautiful that she looked more like an oriental woman. Unconsciously, Gradually, I became addicted to her otherworldly temperament.
Two young men stood up among a group of Muggles gathering for dinner. From the direction they were walking, they seemed to be heading towards Vidia.
However, before they could get close, they were forced back by the intimidation in Amosta's vigilant eyes, and turned away with a sneer.
"It's best to wait until the Muggles are resting, Mr. Blaine. We'll make some noise later-" ŴŴŴ.
