The Bard at Hogwarts

Chapter 150 Erwin's Line of Defense

The time comes in the afternoon.

After dealing with a large number of goblins along the way.

Ino followed the two girls slowly out of the Grand Forest and came to a sparsely populated market.

And this market also has another name with a clear meaning - Erwin's Line.

This is a line of defense established by nearby people to resist the invasion of goblins in the forest.

Different from the picture in my memory, although the Erwin Line of Defense is sparsely populated, there are also all kinds of shops and buildings around it, including blacksmith shops, taverns, hotels, tailor shops...

Ino looked at all the scenery around him with curiosity, but his curiosity was also turned into a scenery by Celia.

"Brother Ino, is this your first time at Erwin's Defense Line?"

Celia first asked curiously, and then said to herself: "Celia invites you to stay in the hotel. This is a hotel run by sister Caitlin and I. We don't charge you money."

Listening to the girl's clear voice, Ino turned around and smiled: "That's the best, but I have to pay! Just think of it as my last insistence."

Celia's hotel is located on the west side of Erwin's defense line. From the map, this is roughly the rear area of ​​the entire market town.

In a standard medieval single room, there is nothing else around except a bed, table and chairs.

Ino sat on a high-backed chair made of oak, with his suitcase and wand placed on the large round table in front of him.

"The adventure story of Arad continent...\

,"Looking at the scenery outside the window, he gradually fell into deep thought.

Unsurprisingly, this is a massive story world, even bigger than any that have come before. Because here there are not only many different worlds such as heaven and demon world, but also the concept of the universe. In short, it is very complicated.

But complexity is not always a bad thing, because it often represents diversity and tolerance.

A very simple example is like the world of Middle-earth. Ino is a little cautious every time he enters it. It felt like going to someone else's house as a guest, and he was the only outsider in the family.

The continent of Arad is like going to a large tavern or hotel. The people inside are from all over the world. There is no so-called distinction between outsiders and locals. As long as it is not too high-profile, no one will care about a magician.

Yes, magician! Just like being misunderstood by Caitlin, he just followed the Romans and ventured on this continent as a magician.

"Norton..."

Ino whispered the name softly. After confirming the story world in Gran Forest, he already had a goal.

In other words, after experiencing countless story worlds, for the first time, I have a clear desire.

Of course, what I want is not precious potions and props, nor various powerful magics. Although the power value of this world is indeed the ceiling, the magic potential of ice, snow and fire is also very strong. The principle of biting off more than you can chew is the same everywhere.

There is only one person he really cares about, or in other words, there is only one ideal person to contact him, Norton, the president of the Hutton Mar Alchemist Guild.

And contacting Norton was not for alchemy, but for another profession - decomposer.

The conditions in the two magic books he obtained from the stories of the Brothers Grimm were about time-traveling ritual magic, and he still clearly remembered them in his mind.

Although many strange things were used in the ritual, judging from the names of the items, one thing seemed particularly precious - the pure sand of time.

He was about to give up on something he had never heard of before, but fate finally saw a glimmer of possibility.

A decomposing machine that claims to be able to decompose all items.

Whether it is a time turner from the magical world or items related to time from other worlds, they are all thrown into the decomposition machine, although it is not sure whether anything useful can be decomposed.

But if there are dates but no dates, there is always a way to try your luck.

Time passed slowly, and night gradually enveloped the entire Erwin defense line.

At dusk, countless adventurers also walked out of the Grand Forest to the east. After all, no one would choose to fight with goblins in the forest at night.

As the last light from the horizon disappeared, the Erwin Line of Defense also closed its heavy steel door, creating a safe environment for adventurers to rest at night.

"The flames are blazing!"

Ino waved his wand and lit the oil lamp in the room, or rather the oil lamp he carried with him.

After all, the lamp in Celia Hotel is really simple, just a small coarse porcelain plate and a piece of cotton thread, and the flame when lit is really the size of a soybean, maybe it is just a fake at all.

"Knock! Knock!"

Rhythmic knocking sounded outside the house.

"Come in!" Ino waved her wand to open the door to the room.

"Sorry! I disturbed you. But Celia said you haven't come down for dinner yet, so I took the initiative and served one."

The female gunner Caitlin walked into the room with a piece of food, her tone was somewhat respectful, and she did not look down on her because of her age and appearance.

As a child, I grew up in Hutton Mar and learned various firearms knowledge from my teacher Kelly. She has seen the world and knows very well that some magicians have the blood of elves. It is most unreliable to judge the age of elves by their appearance.

"Thank you, Caitlin." Looking at the exquisite food in the other person's hand, Enoch thanked her.

"It's nothing. It's me who I have to thank." Caitlin shook her head and sighed softly: "If it weren't for you today, Celia might be fine, but I might have explained it there."

"Maybe this is fate!" Ino said softly: "Would you mind sitting down and chatting with me for a while? To be honest, you may also see that this is my first time coming to Erwin's Defense Line."

"Yeah! Actually, there's nothing special here."

Having said that, Caitlin also sat down and gently placed the food she was carrying on the table.

However, just such an inadvertent action made Ino's eyes focus.

"You? Did I do something wrong?" Caitlin asked, feeling a little uneasy as she felt the eyes that were as substantial as sharp arrows.

"Haha, no, it's just that your ring is very special." Seeing that the girl was a little nervous, Ino's expression softened.

"Ring?" Caitlin looked down at her left index finger, which was a ring made of straw. Although she didn't find any problems, she still introduced it in detail:

"I picked this up from the ruins in the back alley of Hutton Mar when I was playing as a child. I just thought it was exquisite and I kept wearing it."

As she spoke, Caitlin raised her hand to take off the ring.

"Don't! Put it back!" Ino grabbed the other person's hand, and when he realized the rudeness, he quickly let go.

"Sorry, I meant you put your hand where the light shines."
