The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 370: Beckman Castle

Considering that this is a guest at someone else's home, the number of hunters that Link summoned this time is not that many, only about 20.

But the quality has reached the level of the Auror of the Ministry of Magic of the country.

In addition, these people are equipped with a large number of dragon hunting crossbows and other control equipment, which has led to these people's combat effectiveness has approached the elite Auror.

To put it bluntly, in a scarcely populated place like the wizarding world, these 20 people, plus Link and Old Kled, are enough to start a small war.

Therefore, when Link and the group of people apparated near the target, the defensive spell on Beckman Castle was triggered as expected.

Standing on the hillside and looking at the huge castle opposite, Link and the group were all a little surprised.

No way, it's really spectacular.

The Beckman family’s castle is white in its entirety. It is built on a large mountain range, and its base is completely surrounded by all kinds of weird cliffs.

Due to summer and clear weather, the clouds on the zenith are rising very high.

But the ultra-high altitude still makes the tips of its towering towers directly inserted into the clouds, coupled with the milky white magic aura brought by the surrounding defense magic activation, directly set off the magnificent castle, just like a heaven.

"This castle is located in the mountains southwest of Bavaria, close to Austria. It was built at the end of the 13th century and was funded by Gotout von Beckmann at the time, and was named Gotout Castle. ."

Upon seeing this, Link slowly explained to everyone, "This Gothot is a very romantic person. He changed the style of the castle that only advocated practicality at the time, and poured the concept of beauty first into this castle and its surroundings. The arrangement of lakes, forests and mountains constitutes a magnificent spectacle.

However, in the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt once by his descendants due to disrepair and was renamed Beckman Castle.

Since then, multiple defensive spells have been added to this castle, including the Indescribable, Muggle Expulsion, and the Red Loyalty Curse, which have been used in wars for a long time in the past.

So now we basically can't see the specially arranged scenery around it, even if the Beckman Castle itself is not so majestic. "

"Even so, it is already very beautiful and spectacular! I dare say that even Foley Castle and Hogwarts Castle can't compare to this Beckman Castle!"

Emily's eyes flashed, and she muttered dimly.

After seeing Link's preparations and the beautiful castle in front of her, Emily no longer felt nervous and worried. Instead, she only had anticipation and curiosity.

Link shook his head helplessly.

In this respect, they really can't compare.

This is the difference in overall regional customs.

Although castles have lost their original use in warfare with the development of the times, they have become a negative asset that requires high maintenance costs.

But people in this land of Germany are particularly obsessed with castles.

According to Muggle zf statistics, the number of existing castles in Germany has reached a terrifying number of more than 14,000!

With such a large base, it is completely understandable that there will be a few exceptionally spectacular castles.

Just as Link was talking to Emily, new changes also appeared on Beckman's Castle above the mountains in the distance.

The magical aura shrouded on the outer wall of the castle suddenly faded, and at the same time the city gate facing Link and the others quietly lowered.

"Link, people are welcoming us, let's go quickly!"

Emily tugged Link's sleeve and said loudly.

She can't wait any longer.

Link grabbed her and said:

"Don't worry, we still have other people who haven't arrived...oh! It's coming"

As soon as Link's voice fell, the space beside him suddenly distorted, and Snape's figure appeared in front of everyone amid a series of firecrackers.

"Welcome, Professor Snape!"

Link laughed and waved.

But it was said that Snape had no desire to respond to Link.

On the contrary, looking at the hunter and Link who surrounded him, Snape's face became gloomy.

"You have no shortage of guards at all, why do you have to come over? I'm very busy!"

Snape frowned and said, while Link sneered:

"What's up? Help Dumbledore run errands? Or help Voldemort kill?"

"you!"

"I dragged you out of the quagmire," Link waved his hand. "You must be grateful!"

Snape stopped speaking now.

Because what Link said was actually correct.

During this time, Dumbledore and Voldemort had indeed been in frequent contact with him, trying to instruct him to carry out various activities, which made him a little tired.

To some extent, Link's move did give him an excuse to get out.

At this moment, Emily also leaned in and patted Snape's back lightly for comfort.

Hearing Emily's comforting voice, Snape's mood improved a lot, but his eyes were still disgusting when he looked at Link and others.

Link didn't care about so much, he led everyone across the chain bridge and came to the gate of the castle with an order.

An old butler in a tuxedo had already been waiting at the door, and just as soon as he saw Link walking in front, he greeted him with a smile.

Link's mood was also very good, because the old man opposite was the tall old German wizard who had led people to support him.

Because of his loyalty in that battle, Link had a very good impression of him.

"Angela! I'm so happy to see you again!"

"It's my honor, Master."

Angela spoke respectfully, while still searching the crowd for a while, frowning somewhat disappointedly, "Isn't Miss Leonie coming back?"

"Mother also has to manage all matters of the Foley family, and she really can't spare her time."

Link quickly explained it out, but this explanation made Angela look sad.

He knew that this was just an excuse, and the only reason Leonie hadn't come back was that she hadn't let go of her father.

In fact, Angela even felt that if this time things weren't really beneficial to Link, Leonie might not even see Mr. Beckman's face.

After sighing, Angela quickly converged his expression, bowed and made an inviting gesture and said:

"Please come with me, the Patriarch has been waiting for you for a long time."

Link nodded and directed everyone to climb up the stairs.

As soon as they entered the castle, Link and others were once again controlled by the splendor and majesty of the castle.

Especially the twenty hunters, they have never seen such a large and exquisite sculpture group in their entire life, as well as the gorgeous mural ceiling like the sky curtain and aurora.

Fortunately, they all knew that they represented the Foley family now, so they didn't show too much shame.

As for Anrag, he became a tour guide after entering the castle, and he was still an excellent one. He began to help Link introduce various statues and ancient paintings in the castle.

Emily listened very seriously, she was in a state of shining eyes almost the whole time, especially after thinking that these things would belong to the Foley family in the future, she became even more excited.

Link and Old Klie’s focus was more on the defensive structure and people of the Beckman Castle.

Link keenly discovered that the defense system of Beckman Castle is actually similar to Hogwarts Castle.

Those sculptures and oil paintings with a long history and invaluable value in the mouth of Anrag are actually part of the defense system, and can immediately become the battle puppets, eyes and ears of the Beckman family during the war.

In addition, there are more wizard servants in Beckman Castle than Beverly Castle and Hogwarts Castle. In just such a short time, Link has run into no fewer than twenty servants who also wear butler uniforms.

The most important thing is that they are all very old, and most of them have obvious disabilities!

This is a bit scary.

Because the only source of these people Link can think of is the veterans who fought with Grindelwald.

Link and Old Kled who were thinking this way looked at each other, both of them were full of vigilance and excitement.

Everyone went all the way, and after passing through several corridors, they finally came to the door of a huge reception room.

"Master Link, the master is waiting for you inside." Anrag looked at the group of hunters behind Link, and said hesitantly, "But these guards of yours probably won't be able to go in with them."

"It's okay, just point to a lounge and let them stay."

Old Kele said readily when he heard the words, and patted the Forli family decorations on his chest as he spoke, and smiled slyly.

Link and Emily also have this kind of ornamentation, but they are in more concealed places like the cuffs and the inner lining.

This is the brand new coordinate determiner made by Old Klie after learning the lessons of the last time. Compared with before, this gadget has stronger signal penetrating power and can assist in penetrating the confinement of the Anti-Phantom Shifting Curse.

With it, as long as Link is still in Germany, no matter what happens, a guard can basically arrive instantly.

Anrag called another housekeeper to settle the hunters, and he led the three of Links into the living room.

This huge living room, or the banquet hall, naturally inherited the extremely gorgeous artistic style of the original Gothenburg, while Beckman, with white beard and hair, was sitting alone in the innermost one of the room. On the stone chair, smilingly watching Link and the others come.

"Welcome to you, Link, Emily. Of course, there is also this Professor Snape."

Beckman stood up and greeted.

Link and Emily stood up and responded with standard aristocratic etiquette.

The only person on the scene who glared at Beckman was Old Kled—Beckman didn't mention his name just now, and Old Kled thought this was a manifestation of Beckman's unwelcome.

But the fact is, Beckman doesn't treat old Kled as a person at all.

He ignored the old Kled directly, and then began to greet Link and Emily.

There is no mention of whether Link is willing to inherit the Beckman family.

In fact, there is no need to mention it again.

After all, Link and others were willing to come this time to give the clearest answer.

But surprisingly, the main topic of Beckman's discussion was when Link and Emily were planning to have a baby.

Upon hearing this, Link and Emily immediately became a little embarrassed and helpless.

But Old Kled's hostility towards Beckman was much less, and even a touch of approval appeared on his face.

After all, at least in this regard, their wishes are highly consistent.

It's a pity that this expression only lasted for a while on Old Klie's face and was replaced by stronger vigilance.

Because Old Kled suddenly thought that Beckman might be planning to change one of Link's children to Beckman's surname.

This is absolutely impossible for the old Klie!

The heirs of pure-blooded wizards and nobles are precious far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

In order to continue the offspring, many stubborn purebloods even began to allow younger generations to combine with mudblood wizards.

So no matter how many of Link's heirs, they should be left in the Foley family!

The biggest concession Old Klie can make is to ask Link and Link's children to add a Beckman's middle name, so that the Beckman family's name will not disappear in the long river of history.

Maybe he noticed Old Klie's vigilant gaze, or maybe there was really nothing to talk about.

In short, after a brief greeting, Beckman finally smiled and said to Link:

"Link, Angra must have shown you this castle. Then, as the future heir of the Beckman family, let me show you other properties of the Beckman family.

Don't worry, these industries are all in Germany, and if there is an accident, the guards you brought can arrive in time.

Besides, with Professor Snape here, you probably don’t need those guards much, right? "

As soon as these words came out, the old Kled who was about to attack eased, and only rolled his eyes at Beckman.

Link smiled:

"There is no need to do this, I believe you will never cheat your grandson. Please lead the way, and let us see how the industry of German wizards is different from that of the country."

"Of course."

Beckman nodded and said, and then took out a small and exquisite snuff bottle door key from a leather suitcase beside it and placed it in front of everyone.

The whirlpool-shaped space crack quietly appeared, absorbing everyone in.

When everyone was down to earth again, the scenery in front of them had changed from the magnificent Beckman Castle living room to a rudimentary factory building.

No, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is simply a compliment to this plant.

Whether it's a shallow layer of dust on the ground, the dirty walls on both sides, or the broken iron roof above everyone's heads, it reminds Link that this is a completely abandoned Muggle factory.

In his last life, Link had come into contact with many such abandoned iron-skin factories when he was helping to track down the fugitives. Therefore, he knew very well that the only advantage of this kind of site that could almost sink into a dilapidated building was its huge space!

Sure enough, when Beckman led everyone into the factory building, what appeared in front of Link was a huge but extremely crowded space.

There are countless open workbenches densely arranged inside, and a wizard in a gray robe stands in front of each workbench, fiddling with the crucibles, bottles and jars on the workbench.

Perhaps because there are too many boiling crucibles, the air is still filled with an unspeakable smell of horror.

Beckman naturally released a group bubble curse for everyone to act as a gas mask, and then opened his hand and introduced:

"This is the Beckman family's potion factory."
