Witcher at Hogwarts

In the dense forest, Ethan soon discovered something unusual. The dense forest was full of canine footprints, which looked very messy.

This proves that there may have been quite a few animals chasing men at that time.

"Are these werewolf footprints?" Tonks said while squatting on the ground, inspecting the footprints on the ground.

"No, it's not like that," Ethan said with a solemn expression, "They are much smaller than the werewolf's footprints."

"If there is only one footprint, it can be interpreted as a werewolf, but there are so many footprints here. Werewolves are not animals that fight in groups. These footprints cannot be produced by werewolves."

"Besides, werewolves don't have the habit of letting their prey go to waste." Ethan analyzed from the sidelines.

"This is strange -" Tonks pinched her chin in confusion. "As far as I know, there are no subspecies of werewolves."

Ethan wanted to say something else, but a strong feeling of being spied on suddenly filled Ethan's mind.

Ethan turned around quickly and looked at the place where he had doubted just now.

It was a hillside covered with white snow. It looked deserted at this time, and even the surrounding snow showed no traces of being trampled on.

"What's going on! Ethan?" Tonks was startled by Ethan's sudden movement. She pulled out her wand and made a tactical defensive gesture, looking around alertly.

Ethan's movements made Tonks think that some monster was suddenly attacking.

"Nothing -" Ethan carefully observed the surroundings again, but still didn't find anything unusual, so he had to give up.

Tonks and Ethan then cut some branches in the woods and made a simple sledge. They then loaded the man's body on the sledge and pulled it towards the village.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive near the village.

When he got closer, Ethan discovered that this humble-looking village was actually surrounded by a wall made of heavy stones.

On top of the stone wall, there is a layer of barbed wire, and these barbed wires are even energized.

Ethan was a little curious as to what kind of monster he was guarding with such high-intensity protection.

The situation outside the wall was very desolate. Along the way, Ethan saw a lot of empty and abandoned houses. Most of the houses were damaged, and the cold wind was blowing inside.

At the same time, a large number of fields were abandoned, and the desolate land was covered with weeds and looked very desolate.

There are even many bones of cattle and sheep lying on some fields.

Tonks looked at everything around her curiously. She really didn't know what the villagers were defending against.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the village, which was also very tightly defended.

Stone piers and iron horses sealed the door tightly.

As soon as the two of them got closer, the beams of two searchlights shone on Ethan and Tonks.

"Who are you! What are you doing here!" A loud male voice suddenly came from a loudspeaker on the wall.

This made Ethan frown. This village was a bit too "modern" for a magic village, almost as big as a fortress.

"I am a witcher!" Ethan shouted to the wall, "You wrote to hire me!"

After Ethan finished shouting, the city wall was silent for a while, and then an old man with a long white beard and a cowboy hat poked his head out.

"I have to read your letter!" the old man shouted to Ethan under the city wall.

Ethan noticed that the old man was carrying an unusually large gun on his back. There were not many wizards who knew how to use a gun.

Ethan frowned, but still took out the letter he had received before, raised it with one hand, and showed it to the old man.

The old man frowned and judged carefully, then finally relaxed his brows.

"Okay, open the door!" the old man yelled behind him.

Soon, the steel door creaked, opening an entrance for the two of them.

Dragging the man's body, the two quickly entered the fortress-like village.

The old man who just talked seemed to be the leader here, and was standing inside the door, ready to greet Ethan.

But when he saw the corpse dragged by the two men, the old man's originally smiling face quickly changed.

He suddenly took out the big and scary shotgun behind him and pointed it at Ethan fiercely.

"What's going on! Did you do it?" the old man yelled at Ethan.

Several young people following the old man also took out their wands and pointed them at Ethan and Tonks.

"We found his body in the wild!" It is very dangerous to be pointed at such a huge gun, and a misfire is likely to cause irreparable damage.

Even though he might be able to dodge the gunfire, the same could not be said for Tonks behind him.

So Ethan quickly explained to the old man everything that happened to the man's body, including his speculation on the man's death.

The old man stared into Ethan's eyes for a long time, and finally he put down the gun.

Seeing the old man put down his gun, and the wizards holding wands behind him also put down their wands pointed at Ethan and Tonks, the atmosphere at the scene finally relaxed a little.

"Sorry, the current situation is too tense, I have to be more vigilant." The old man said to Ethan.

Then, in order to ease the somewhat tense relationship, the old man took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello, my name is Reznov, we have been waiting for you for a long time." The old man said.

"Hello, I'm Ethan." Ethan shook Reznov's hand.

"Come in quickly, it's almost dark, and it's not peaceful outside now." Reznov said to Ethan.

The two then walked towards the village.

Reznov was obviously the leader here, and he kept giving instructions to the young people around him along the way.

One moment he asked someone to notify Sir Sapkov, the next moment he asked others to continue guarding the city wall, and the next moment he asked his men to deal with the body brought by Ethan.

Reznov then paid attention to the corpse. When his men turned the corpse over, Reznov not only took a breath of cold air.

"Poor old Peter!" Reznov lamented.

"Bring the body to Mrs. Peter and tell me that I will go to her house to deal with the matter in a moment." Reznov arranged for his men.

Then he walked with Ethan to the village. The situation in the village looked very miserable and defeated.

It is completely different from the "impregnable" defense measures outside.

The houses in the village look very dilapidated, with peeling paint on the walls and covered with moss.

Even the road was a muddy road, which made a squeaking sound when stepped on, and the muddy water splashed around, staining Ethan's trouser legs.

Seeing this scene, Reznov explained to Ethan.

"I'm sorry for you to see this. Our village has invested all its money and resources in building defense measures. After all, those things are outside."

Speaking of this, Reznov's expression was a little unnatural, even with a hint of fear.

"What kind of monster is your village facing?" Ethan asked Reznov.

"I'm sorry," Reznov said with a somewhat uneasy expression, "I don't think it's my place to tell you this."
