The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Considering that this was a guest at someone else's house, the number of hunters Link summoned this time was not very large, only about 20.

But in terms of quality, it has reached the level of the Auror of the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, these people are equipped with a large number of dragon hunting crossbows and other controlled equipment, which leads to the fact that the combat effectiveness of these people has approached that of elite Aurors.

To put it bluntly, in a place with a scarce population like the wizarding world, these 20 people plus Link and old Kled are enough to start a small war.

So, when Link's group of people apparated to the vicinity of the target, the defensive spell on Beckman's Castle was triggered as it should.

Standing on the hillside and looking at the huge castle opposite, Link and his group were a little surprised.

No way, it's amazing.

This old castle of the Beckman family is white as a whole, built on a large mountain, and the base is completely wrapped by various strange cliffs.

As it was summer and the weather was clear, the clouds on the zenith were very high.

But the ultra-high altitude still made the tips of its towering towers directly inserted into the clouds, and the milky white magic aura brought by the activation of the surrounding defense magic directly set off the magnificent castle, like a heaven.

"The location of the castle is in the mountains of southwestern Bavaria, close to Austria. It was built in the late 13th century at the expense of the then Goth Otter von Beckmann and named it Goth Otter Castle. ."

Seeing this, Link slowly explained to everyone, "This Gothic is a very romantic person. He changed the style of the castle that only advocated practicality at that time, and poured the concept of beauty first into the castle and its surroundings. The arrangement of lakes, forests and mountains forms a beautiful spectacle.

However, in the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt once by his descendants due to disrepair and was renamed Beckman Castle.

Since then, the castle has had multiple defensive spells, including indescribable, Muggle banishment, and the Charm of Allegiance, and has been used in warfare for a long time in the past.

So now we basically can't see the specially arranged scenery around it, even the Beckman Castle itself is not so majestic. "

"Even so, it's already very beautiful and spectacular! I dare say that even Foley Castle and Hogwarts Castle can't compare to this Beckman Castle!"

Emily's eyes flashed, and she murmured vaguely.

After seeing Link's preparations and the beautiful castle in front of him,

Emily no longer has that kind of nervousness and worry, replaced by anticipation and curiosity.

Link shook his head helplessly.

In this respect they are indeed incomparable.

This is the difference in overall regional customs.

Although castles have lost their original use in warfare with the development of the times, they have become a negative asset that requires high maintenance costs.

But people in Germany are particularly obsessed with castles.

According to Muggle ZF statistics, the number of existing castles in Germany has reached a terrifying 14,000!

Under such a large base, it is completely understandable that there are several exceptionally spectacular castles.

Just as Link was talking to Emily, a new change appeared on the Beckman Castle above the mountains in the distance.

The magical aura shrouded on the outer wall of the castle suddenly faded away in a flash, and at the same time the city gate facing Link and others was quietly lowered.

"Link, people are welcoming us, let's go over there!"

Emily tugged at Link's sleeve and said loudly.

She was a little impatient.

Link grabbed her and said:

"Don't worry, we still have other people who haven't arrived... oh! Here we go"

As soon as Link's voice fell, the space beside him suddenly distorted, and in a series of explosions like firecrackers, Snape's figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Welcome, Professor Snape!"

Link laughed and waved hello.

However, Snape had no desire to respond to Link.

On the contrary, looking at the hunter and Link who surrounded him, Snape's face was gloomy.

"You don't lack guarding power at all, why do you still have to come here? I'm very busy!"

Snape frowned and said, while Link sneered:

"What are you doing? Running errands for Dumbledore? Or helping Voldemort kill?"

"you!"

"I dragged you out of the quagmire," Link said with a wave of his hand, "You have to know how grateful you are!"

Now Snape didn't speak.

Because what Link said was actually true.

During this time, Dumbledore and Voldemort were indeed in frequent contact with him, trying to instruct him to carry out various activities, which made him a little tired.

To a certain extent, Link's move did give him an excuse to get out.

At this time, Emily also came over and patted Snape's back lightly to comfort him.

Listening to Emily's consolation, Snape's mood improved a lot, but he still looked at Link and the others with disgust.

Link didn't care so much, and with a single order, he led the crowd slowly across the chain bridge and came to the gate of the castle.

An old butler in a tuxedo was already waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw Link walking at the front, he greeted him with a smile.

Link was also in a good mood, because the old man opposite was the tall old German wizard who had brought people to support him earlier.

Link was impressed with him due to his loyalty in that battle.

"Angela! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"It is my pleasure, my lord."

Angela said respectfully, while searching the crowd for a while, frowning in disappointment, "Isn't Miss Leoni back?"

"Mother also manages various affairs of the Foley family, so she really can't find time."

Link hurriedly explained, but this explanation made Angela look gloomy.

He knew very well that it was just an excuse, and the only reason Leoni had not come back was that she had not let go of her father.

In fact, Angela even thought that if this time things weren't really in Link's favor, Leoni might not even meet Mr. Beckman.

With a sigh, Angela quickly restrained her expression, bowed and made a gesture of inviting in:

"Please come with me, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Link nodded and directed everyone to go up the stairs.

As soon as they entered the castle, Link and the others were once again stunned by the magnificence and majesty of the castle.

Especially those 20 hunters, they have never seen such a large and exquisite sculpture group in their entire life, as well as the magnificent mural ceiling like aurora in the sky.

Fortunately, they all knew that they now represented the Foley family, so they didn't act too embarrassingly.

As for Anrag, he became a tour guide after entering the castle, and he was still an excellent one, and began to help Link introduce various statues and ancient paintings in the castle.

Emily listened very seriously. She was in a state of shining eyes almost all the time, especially after thinking that these things would belong to the Foley family in the future, she became even more excited.

Link and old Kled focus more on the defensive structure and people of Beckman Castle.

Link keenly discovered that the defense system of Beckman Castle was actually similar to Hogwarts Castle.

Those sculptures and oil paintings with a long history and priceless value in Anrag's mouth are actually part of the defense system, and they can immediately become the battle puppets and eyes and ears of the Beckman family in wartime.

In addition, there are more wizard servants in Beckman Castle than in Beverly Castle and Hogwarts Castle. In such a short period of time, Link has already encountered no less than twenty servants also wearing butler uniforms.

Most importantly, they are all very old and most of them have obvious disabilities!

This is a little scary.

Because the only source of these people that Link can think of is the gang of veterans who fought with Grindelwald.

Thinking like this, Link and Old Klie looked at each other, their eyes were full of vigilance and excitement.

Everyone went all the way forward, and after passing through several corridors, they finally came to the door of a huge reception room.

"Master Link, the master is waiting for you inside." Anrag looked at the group of hunters behind Link and said hesitantly, "But these guards of yours probably won't be able to go in with them."

"It doesn't matter, you can just point to a lounge and let them stay."

Hearing the words, Old Klie said cheerfully, and while he was speaking, he patted the Foley family decoration on his chest and smiled slyly.

Link and Emily also have such patterns, but they are located in more hidden places such as the cuffs and the lining.

This is the brand-new coordinate determiner that Old Kled made after learning from the last lesson. Compared with the previous one, this gadget has stronger signal penetration and can assist in penetrating the confinement of the Anti-Apparition Spell.

With it there, as long as Link is still in Germany, no matter what happens, a guard can basically arrive instantly.

Anrag invited another housekeeper to settle the hunters, and he led the three of Link into the parlour.

This huge meeting room, or banquet hall, naturally inherited the extremely gorgeous artistic style of the original Gothic Otterburg, and at this time Beckman, who was all white and hair, was sitting alone in the innermost one of the room. On the stone chair, he looked at Link and the others with a smile.

"Welcome, Link, Emily. And of course, this Professor Snape."

Beckman stood up and greeted.

Link and Emily waited in earnest, and responded with standard noble etiquette.

The only person at the scene who glared at Beckman was Old Kled—Beckman didn’t mention his name just now, and Old Kled thought it was a sign that Beckman did not welcome him.

And the truth is, Beckman didn't take old Kled seriously at all.

He directly ignored old Kled, and then began to greet Link and Emily.

There was no mention of whether Link was willing to inherit the Beckman family.

In fact, there is really no need to mention it.

After all, the fact that Link and the others were willing to come this time had already given the clearest answer.

But surprisingly, the main topic of Beckman's discussion was when Link and Emily planned to have a baby.

Hearing that, Link and Emily immediately became a little embarrassed and helpless.

On the other hand, Old Klie's hostility towards Beckman was much less, and there was even a touch of approval on his face.

After all, at least in this regard, their wishes are highly consistent.

It's a pity that this expression only lasted on Old Kled's face for a moment before being replaced by a stronger vigilance.

Because old Kled suddenly thought that Beckman might be planning to let one of Link's children take Beckman's surname.

This is absolutely not allowed by old Klie!

The heirs of pure-blood wizarding nobles are far more precious than ordinary people can imagine.

Many stubborn pureblood supremacists have even begun to allow their descendants to bond with mudblood wizards in order to continue their offspring.

Therefore, even if there are many children of Link, they should be left in the Foley family!

The biggest concession Old Kled can make is to let Link and Link's children add a middle name of Beckman, so that the name of the Beckman family will not disappear into the long river of history.

Perhaps he sensed the vigilant gaze of Old Klie, or perhaps he really had nothing to talk about.

In short, after a brief chat, Beckman finally smiled and said to Link:

"Link, this castle Angra must have already shown you. Then, as the future heir of the Beckman family, let me show you the other properties of the Beckman family.

Don't worry, these industries are all in Germany. If there is an accident, the guards you brought can arrive in time.

Besides, with this Professor Snape here, you probably don't really need those guards, do you? "

As soon as these words came out, Old Klie, who was about to have a seizure, calmed down and just rolled his eyes at Beckman.

Link smiled and said:

"There's no need for this. I believe that you can never harm your grandson. Please lead the way, and let us see how the German wizarding industry is different from that of other countries."

"Of course."

Beckman nodded and said, and then took out a small and exquisite snuff bottle door key from a leather box on the side and put it in front of everyone.

A vortex-shaped space crack appeared quietly, absorbing everyone into it.

When everyone got down to earth again, the scenery in front of them had changed from the splendid reception room of Beckman Castle to a simple factory building.

No, the word shabby is simply a compliment to the factory.

Whether it was the shallow layer of dust on the ground, the dirty walls on both sides, or the broken tin roof above everyone's heads, all reminded Link that this was an abandoned Muggle factory.

When Link helped track down fugitives in his last life, he had come into contact with many such abandoned iron factory buildings, so he knew very well that the only advantage of such a site that could almost sink into a dilapidated building was that it had a lot of space!

Sure enough, when Beckman led the crowd into the factory building, what appeared in front of Link was a huge but extremely crowded space.

There are countless open workbenches densely arranged here, and in front of each workbench stands a wizard in a gray robe, playing with the crucibles and bottles and cans on the workbench.

Perhaps because there were too many boiling cauldrons, there was an indescribable terrifying smell in the air.

Beckman naturally released a group bubble head spell for everyone as a gas mask, and then opened his hand and introduced:

"This is the potion factory of the Beckman family."
