He curiously stared at the skeleton doll in the old wizard's hand for a while and felt a strange magic fluctuation from it.
This feeling was similar to the snake bracelet on his arm. It was a type of curse.
Generally speaking, witchcraft was considered one of the many branches of black magic.
Elwyn had read about witchcraft in a book. Unlike wizards who used magic wands, wizards tended to use other mediums to complete curses.
For example, the puppet in the old wizard's hand was a kind of casting medium.
Due to the variety of casting mediums, the majority of Magi had the impression that Witchcraft was much more evil than ordinary black magic. It was a taboo and made people feel uneasy.
Elwyn and Sirius talked about witchcraft for a while, discussing how to defend against witchcraft. They only stopped when the bartender came over.
"Have you heard?!" She lowered her voice and said in a teasing tone, "There is a witch missing, she is from England like you two, maybe you will be interested. But in my opinion, in a place like this, it's nothing to be surprised about. But you asked me before, and I think … "
She stopped and looked at Sirius and Elwyn with a smile.
Sirius knew what she meant. He took out a gold coin and threw it over.
"Tell me, it may be the man we've been looking for," he murmured.
Ever since he came to Albania, Elwyn had been looking for Bertha Jorkins.
From the information that Lupin had sent back, there had been no news of her ever since she went on vacation in the Albanian forest. No one knew where she was.
Although Sirius believed that she had very possibly gone to the centaur ruins for an adventure, or perhaps she was too muddle-headed and lost her way in the nearby forest.
However, Elwyn had a feeling that even without Peter's help, Jorkins would still be captured by the Lord Voldemort, just like in the original plot.
If that was the case, then it would truly be terrible.
Lord Voldemort would get everything he wanted from her, whether it was the fact that his most loyal servant had escaped from Azkaban, or that the Hogwarts would host the Triwizard Tournament, etc. For the Lord Voldemort, who had been scheming to recover his strength, this information was of utmost importance.
'The woman is Bertha Jorkins! 'continued the waitress.
She put the gold coins Sirius had given her into an ancient wooden till. The drawer slid open and swallowed the money.
Elwyn and Sirius exchanged glances. It really was Jorkins!
"Roughly half a month ago, she set off from here, following an adventurer team to search for treasure in the centaur ruins." The waitress leaned on the bar counter. "Of course, apart from the stone, these unlucky bastards didn't find anything. They returned this morning, but one person was missing from the party. It was the witch called Bertha Jorkins. It is said that one night after entering the ruins, she suddenly disappeared from the camp. Since then, she has never been seen again. "
"That's all?" Elwyn frowned as he asked.
"What else do you want to hear?!" The waitress laughed, using a dirty wine bottle to pour herself a glass of wine. "Don't expect those fellows to speak the truth, they wouldn't care about a person's life or death. Perhaps this matter was done by them."
Elwyn was silent. If it was Lord Voldemort who captured Jorkins that night, then it meant that he was currently in the centaur ruins.
Perhaps, Dumbledore was delayed because of this.
As long as Lord Voldemort appeared in the vicinity of the centaur ruins, Dumbledore would definitely discover it, and would definitely continue to pursue. They could possibly be engaged in a battle right now.
Although with Lord Voldemort's current condition, he was not Dumbledore's opponent, he still could not let his guard down. He had grasped many unimaginable dark magic.
Moreover, Lord Voldemort's understanding of the dark side of human nature was the scariest.
"Don't worry!" Sirius said softly. "Things might not be as you imagine. With my understanding of Jorkins, she might have left the party on her own."
"I hope so."
"Speaking of which, there has been more and more news of witches disappearing recently." The waitress looked at Elwyn and said indifferently. "You better be careful, there might be a group of vampires nearby. Women and children are the favorite food of those monsters."
"Thank you for your concern!" Elwyn replied indifferently.
Ever since he met Elaine, he did not think that vampires were anything to be afraid of.
Albania was the base camp of the dark Magi, so it was not strange to encounter dark creatures such as vampires and werewolves.
Although vampires were difficult to deal with, Elwyn was not one to be trifled with.
As long as he did not use too much magic, even if he could not defeat them, he could still escape.
"This morning, there was a little boy around your age crying nearby. I don't know what he was thinking, but his mother actually brought him here for a vacation." The waitress sighed. "But she disappeared into the jungle, leaving the child alone to ask for help."
"And then?!" Elwyn vaguely remembered that he had indeed heard someone crying downstairs in the morning.
However, when he walked down for breakfast, he did not see anything.
"He was taken away by a group of adventurers. They said that they would help him find his mother in the Forbidden Forest." The waitress shook her head, obviously not optimistic about this.
In this place, there had never been a wizard who would be so kind.
It was self-evident what had happened to the little boy. Anything could happen.
It was said that there were many witches who collected the hearts and livers of boys to cast evil witchcraft.
"From what I see, young wizards like you shouldn't be here. This is not a good place for a holiday." The waitress glanced at Sirius and said in a serious tone, "Although your uncle is very strong, you are too weak. Anything can happen. You'd better leave this place quickly."
"We will leave tomorrow morning!" Elwyn said in a low voice.
According to the standards of ordinary people, Elwyn was definitely the representative of the weak.
Whether it was his age or his body size, he gave people the impression that he was easy to bully.
In the face of danger, a young wizard like him would not be able to resist at all. If there were any ideas, he would be the best target.
If it were not for Sirius, trouble would have come to him long ago.
The waitress tried to persuade him a little more. Thinking of the encounter of the boy of his age, Elwyn felt a heavy heart and did not want to continue listening.
He pulled on Sirius's sleeve, and the two of them got up and prepared to go back.
Just as they reached the staircase, Elwyn suddenly had a strange feeling. He hurriedly turned his head. With the dim candlelight at the staircase, he finally saw the three wizards sitting in the darkest corner of the fireplace. They were looking at him and Sirius.
