After that night, whenever Elwyn saw the owl pendant on his left wrist, this rough line of primitive turquoise with only simple engraving and polishing, he would think of Shuklia, the girl with a smile on her face and a calm and wise expression.
The girl who was willing to transform into a demon for love, and her story …
He did not know the name of the shaman's holy relic on his wrist, he just called it "Shuklia's Redemption".
This pendant contained a very powerful natural power, which was a very unique magic, but Elwyn was not a witch doctor, so he could not use this power. He could only use this pendant to transform into an owl in its energy form, which would take about an hour.
After that, he would have to let the pendant recover its magic, which would take about three days.
The owl in its energy form could pass through walls and enter many special places that were restricted by magic.
This thing was very helpful to Elwyn, and it was also very convenient when he needed to move quickly or transform into a bird …
In short, the incident ended in this way, and there was not a single owl ghost to be found in this dark castle that was full of evil.
Elwyn did not know whether this was a good or bad thing for the local tourism industry in Dijon, but at least there would not be any more murders.
They found the terrifying owl person in the side hall on the first floor of the castle. After Ariana was finished, it lost its source of power, and now it was just a monster with owl feathers, without any magic, lying weakly on the ground.
Ironically, this owl-person's original identity was Mary, the wizard who was murdered.
It killed itself, created the shocking Dijon murder case, and offered its soul to the demon to obtain a new body.
But in the end, it gained nothing other than turning itself into a monster.
Perhaps, this was the nature of power, if you wanted to take a shortcut to obtain it, then be prepared to pay the price.
Elwyn and Sirius handed the owl person to Elena, letting her explain to the French Ministry of Magic and deal with the aftermath. This was also what she needed, a chance to prove herself to the Ministry, to prove that she was a qualified Auror.
The twists and turns of the case were enough to shock the entire French magic community and make Elena the most famous Aurora.
They returned to the bar to meet up with Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim, and left Dijon at dawn.
When they parted, Elena hugged Elwyn, but only shook hands with Sirius with a blushing face.
Sirius didn't say much and just told her to be careful.
Elwyn couldn't help but think that they had hugged quite a lot in that evil room. Maybe they were tired of hugging each other.
If Elena wanted to continue her relationship with Sirius, he would be happy to see it happen …
Elena invited Elwyn and Sirius to visit Paris when they were free and gave them her address.
The journey continued, and the carriage flew all the way to Italy. After Dijon, they didn't land in a town, and most of the time they camped in the wild, avoiding several large Muggle cities. The rest of the journey was without any accidents.
In the forest at the border of France and Italy, they encountered two crazy monsters, and Hagrid quickly took care of them!
When the carriage went far away from Rome, Elwyn saw a very thick pillar of light shooting into the sky from the high ground in the northwest corner of Rome. Even from far away, he could clearly see that it was the holy city of Vatican City, where the Roman Church was located.
Sirius told him that the pillar of light was the holy light of a holy relic owned by the Pope.
No one knew what the holy relic was, or why it had such powerful magic. They only knew that no dark creatures dared to go near it.
It had been like this for thousands of years, and the huge pillar of holy light never faded in the sky above the Vatican.
Only wizards and creatures with magic could see it, and see this miracle that could almost light up half the night sky.
In many magic books, Elwyn had seen descriptions of Rome, the Vatican, and the Roman Church. The historic city they were flying through was full of special magic, but they couldn't go in and take a look.
Perhaps, when they returned from contacting the giants, they could stay here for a few days and take a good look.
After leaving Rome, they followed the coastline all the way south, passed Pompeii, entered the Mediterranean Sea, and went straight to the southern tip of Sicily.
When they arrived at Sicily, the carriage stopped near the side of the forest and did not continue forward.
The giants were deep in the mountains, and there were many legends about them in the vicinity. Sirius and Hagrid decided to collect information first.
Other than that, they also had to explore the mountains and find the giants' camp according to the method Dumbledore told them.
In the dense forest, the flying carriage lost its function. With the protection of magic, it was impossible to find the giants from the air.
While the three of them were busy, Elwyn was free. He changed into a set of Muggle clothes and looked around the island. He looked like an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy from England, traveling here. Sirius told him not to go too far.
As the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, the word "enchanting" could be used to describe this beautiful island.
It was the perfect place for a vacation, and there were many places worth visiting. In terms of natural scenery, mountains, oceans, hills, volcanoes, and almost all the essence of Italy was concentrated on this huge island. There were enthusiastic residents, white beaches, amazing ancient culture, delicious food …
Unlike the Muggle travelers, Elwyn's focus was mainly on magic.
In history, the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Spaniards, Austrians, and so on had ruled here. Their spellcasters also left their traces on this land. All kinds of ancient magic relics and abandoned castles could be seen everywhere. From the time of ancient warlocks before Christ, the historical buildings of various periods were perfectly integrated here.
The Five Flowers of Magic involved in the relics were not only magic left by wizards, but also many powers that Elwyn did not understand. For example, the Shaman Temple made of boulders, and the mysterious spells from inland Africa and the ancient East, which gave him a lot of knowledge.
Of course, almost all the magic in the relics had lost its effect, which was something that Elwyn felt regretful about.
