Witcher at Hogwarts

Tonks took the potion from Ethan, pulled out the stopper, and drank it as soon as she raised her head.

Then Tonks' vision changed rapidly, and the dark area that could not be seen clearly before was now clearly visible.

At this time, under the influence of the cat potion, Tonks's pupils also turned into narrow and elongated vertical pupils like those of cats.

"Oh my God! This is really amazing!" Tonks exclaimed in surprise.

Ethan smiled at Tonks, and then the two of them stepped into the dark cave.

From the moment he first approached the cave, Ethan's demon-hunting senses had been observing everything around him at its highest state.

At this time, even the heartbeat of a mouse couldn't escape Ethan's ears, but in the cave, Ethan didn't hear any sound.

After walking into the cave, Ethan discovered that this seemingly deep and dark cave was actually not big, and even a little narrow.

There was no one inside, but surprisingly there were some daily necessities.

Ethan saw a bonfire that had already been blown by the wind and snow, covered in ice and snow, and freezing.

There are also two simple beddings, one large and one small, made of animal skins.

Ethan checked the inside of the bedding and found that it was already cold, indicating that this temporary settlement had been abandoned for a long time.

At the same time, the half of the horse corpse was also found. At this time, the half of the horse corpse had been chewed into bare bones, and there were even a few teeth marks on it.

The teeth marks looked quite large, and the bones in several places were even broken by the bite.

Seeing that no one was inside, Tonks breathed a sigh of relief.

Ethan carefully inspected everything in the cave. Soon, Ethan found many deep claw marks on the rock wall of the cave.

Based on the shape of the claw marks, Ethan quickly knew that they were werewolf scratches.

During subsequent investigation, Ethan also discovered thick black animal hair scattered in the cave, which was also the hair of a werewolf.

Many phenomena represent that this is a hole used by werewolves to spend the time of transformation.

Tonks also picked up a werewolf hair and frowned to observe.

"Is it a werewolf?" Tonks asked Ethan, "Could it be that the monster that the letter said has been raging is a werewolf?"

"Impossible" Ethan replied, "They also hired a mage. If it was just a werewolf, the mage wouldn't be able to deal with the werewolf."

"Okay." Tonks curled her lips.

The cave had been completely explored, and Ethan and Tonks were planning to leave the cave.

At this moment, a glimmer of light in the animal skin mattress attracted Ethan's attention. Ethan walked towards the flash and quickly opened the animal skin mattress.

The shiny thing was a silver pendant, and the chain of the pendant had broken.

Ethan opened the pendant, and there was a photo of a little girl inside, with the name "Nina" engraved underneath.

The traces of the chain on the pendant looked like they had been broken apart. Ethan just thought about it briefly and quickly deduced it.

This werewolf must have been wearing this pendant when he transformed. After transforming into a werewolf, he continued to grow in size and eventually broke the chain.

This cave did not provide Ethan with many clues. The only doubt was why there were two beddings in the cave.

You know, the transformation of a werewolf is very painful and will cause you to lose your mind.

Therefore, generally werewolves will spend the night of transformation alone.

But the two beddings represent that there were two people present at the scene, and the small bedding represents that the second person is either a short person or a child.

The two walked out of the cave and then returned to the torn horse.

Ethan then walked towards another footprint.

The footprints made by humans were particularly messy, and there was some blood scattered on the ground. Fortunately, the amount of bleeding was not large. Ethan thought that this person might still be alive.

Unexpectedly, the footprints stretched for a very long section of the road, and the two of them followed the footprints for a long time before finally finding the location of the injured person.

Unfortunately, the man was dead at this time.

The deceased was a middle-aged man. He was lying on the ground with a claw scratch on his shoulder blade. It was no longer bleeding because the wound had long been frozen.

But that wasn't the cause of the man's death.

A lot of blood flowed from the man's mouth and nose, and the blood even dyed a small patch of snow around his head red.

"Oh my god - what's going on?" Tonks asked Ethan with a gasp.

Ethan did not answer Tonks' words. He squatted on the ground and observed the man carefully.

The man was already frozen to the bone at this time, and his eyes were staring blankly at the snow in front of him.

Ethan saw a small village in the distance in the direction of the man's gaze. The small village was full of low-rise houses, and several of them were smoking.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is an extremely tall castle high up in the village. The tall castle looks out of place with the low-rise houses.

But now Ethan didn't have time to deal with Xiaocun's affairs, so he returned his attention to the man.

"How did he die?" Tonks asked Ethan.

Ethan frowned. He once again observed the man's appearance in detail, then took out his wand and used several detection spells on the man.

Soon, Ethan understood the cause of this man's death, which made Ethan's frown deepen.

"I think - he ran for a very long time in the cold winter. Due to the long time, the cold air froze his lungs, and the lungs continued to be congested. Eventually, the alveoli were burst by blood, which made him eventually die from his own injuries. I choked with blood.”

Ethan analyzed seriously.

"But how is this possible? How can a person keep running in the freezing cold and cover such a long distance?" Tonks asked in disbelief.

"This shows that something is chasing him from behind, and people's desire to survive can do things that they would never even dare to think about." Ethan said with a gloomy expression.

"Is there something chasing him?" Tonks said again in surprise, "But we just followed the footprints and found no trace of any other creature at all, unless that thing can fly!"

"Moreover, we have found traces of this man falling many times on the road. If something is really chasing him, they can attack him when he falls!"

"I still need more in-depth investigation." Ethan said solemnly.

"I'm going to go back a little bit." Ethan said looking at the road the two of them came from just now.

"But maybe we should go to the village first?" Tonks said hesitantly. The strange things happening here made Tonks feel a little uneasy.

"No, I'm just going to investigate temporarily." Ethan said, and then Tonks followed Ethan and walked back.

There were still no clues left by other creatures on the way back, just when the two were about to give up.

A very messy forest caught Ethan's attention, and the two of them walked towards the forest.
