The most eye-catching thing was the knight guarding the carriage. This knight was very strong and was a battle-hardened warrior. However, Elwyn's focus was not on this. He looked at the knight's armor. Other than the unique emblem of the Ravenclaw family and the glowing magic runes, the armor itself explained a lot.
His entire body was covered in thick armor, and even his mount was covered in heavy armor.
The knight's mount was not an ordinary horse. It should be some kind of powerful magical creature. Elwyn did not know what it was, but he guessed that it might be some kind of hybrid creature. Only its calves were exposed, and its eyes were covered with a blindfold designed to protect them from arrows.
In the words of the Muggle family, this was a heavy knight, a moving war fortress!
If it was put on the battlefield, the damage it could cause would be absolutely shocking. Of course, in the era of backward productivity a thousand years ago, the cost of equipping such a heavy knight was also shocking. Ordinary small wizard families or Muggle nobles might use up all their money to equip such a knight, but this was not a problem for the Ravenclaw family. For those great wizards who were at the top, gold was just a slightly more advanced decoration.
The Ravenclaw family might not be able to turn stone into gold, but they had other ways to get gold.
As long as there was enough gold, in that dark and chaotic era, it was possible to build any kind of army. Those mercenaries did not care if their lord was a king or a wizard.
In fact, Elwyn had higher expectations for the Ravenclaw family's armed forces.
As if to verify his guess, as the carriage moved forward, more guards appeared out of thin air.
Knights, Wizards, Warriors, and Rangers appeared in groups and formed a line around the carriage.
These guards were all battle-hardened warriors. This was an army, the army of the Ravenclaw family.
But was that all? Only wizards, warriors, rangers, and heavy knights?! Shouldn't there be archers, pegasus knights, centaurs, unicorns, fairies, vampires, golems, magic elements, phoenixes, fire dragons, and other types of soldiers?!
Looks like there's nothing left. How uncreative!
Elwyn shook his head. He looked past the army outside the carriage and towards the increasingly lively street.
The streets were bustling with activity, and the souls of the past appeared before Elwyn's eyes.
This was a bustling medieval town. The clothes of the spirits were also full of ancient medieval style.
They were all former residents of this town. Apart from wizards, there were also many Muggle merchants, farmers, and craftsmen. A thousand years ago, there was no such thing as a wizard's secret. In some places, wizards and Muggle lived together.
The territory of the Ravenclaw family was a place where wizards and Muggle lived together.
Seeing the carriage approaching, the spirits hurriedly stepped aside. Some of the spirits hurriedly took off their hats to salute the carriage.
It was obvious that they were in awe of Ravenclaw. Elwyn heard their intermittent discussions.
"Oh my god, did you see that carriage?"
"There's a living person in the carriage. I can smell it. I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat …"
"Shush, that's the carriage of the Ravenclaw family."
"Who's in the carriage? Is it Lady Ravenclaw? "
"Impossible, it's been so long. Lady Ravenclaw is long dead …"
"Would a powerful wizard like her really die? Have you forgotten her magic? But it's been a long time … "
"How long has it been? I can't remember clearly. I only remember the disaster that happened that day. I was sunbathing on the street when I saw a dark fog drifting from the lake. The darkness covered the sky and the sun. It must have been a devil's spell. I was so scared! "
"Everyone was scared, and then what happened?"
"Then, everyone died. At least they didn't suffer too much."
"Yes, they're dead. Everyone's dead. It's so dark, I can't see any light. I'm so hungry … "
"Darkness follows me like a shadow!"
"I hate the darkness. Speaking of which, I can't remember how long it's been since we communicated like this?"
"Not since we died. We lost all reason and were imprisoned here for an eternity."
"Wait, why can't I remember who I am all of a sudden? That's so scary. That wizard, what's going on? "
"It's a curse, a curse magic from the darkness! The most evil of witchcraft, it killed us! Because of the power of the curse, we didn't continue after death and didn't become undead. We're not bound here as senseless ghosts. "
"Scary, the darkness is so cold, I want to go home …"
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat …"
"Shut up, idiot. You're too loud. Don't let Lady Ravenclaw hear you."
"The person in the carriage can't be Lady Ravenclaw. She's already abandoned this place. This place is cursed."
"No, you're talking nonsense. It must be Lady Ravenclaw who's back. We're going to be saved. God hasn't forgotten us …"
"What god? You still believe in that stuff? What a joke. Those guys from the Vatican won't come and save the wizards. "
"It's our greed that destroyed us."
"No, it's the Ravenclaw family who harmed us. They're using evil magic. I remember everything!"
"That darkness, that curse, that magic … It came from the big castle. The black fog spread like a plague."
"Ravenclaw family, darkness, curse, ah, my head hurts!"
"Darkness, greed, death … I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat, I can't take it anymore!"
"Wait, I remember too. Lady Ravenclaw is already dead. I went to Hogwarts to attend her funeral."
"Oh my god, I remember too. Those guys in the big castle were still looking for Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet, but they lost it forever. Only the smartest wizards in the world have the right to obtain that Coronet. After Lady Ravenclaw, it disappeared to find its new owner!"
"If Lady Ravenclaw is dead, then who's in the carriage?"
"It's a living person. It's food. No one can save us. We should take revenge on the Ravenclaw family!"
"I'm so hungry, I can't take it anymore. I want to eat meat, ah, ah, ah …"
A ghost dressed as a Muggle Farmer suddenly howled and rushed towards the caravan.
Elwyn turned towards him, but someone was faster than him. A knight pulled out his sword and instantly cut the farmer's body in half.
A blue light flashed and the farmer turned into light and disappeared into the air.
