The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 101: The Dead Man's Banquet

"I think we should see if there are any familiar people, no, familiar ghosts." Ryan said to Hermione, because it seemed a bit silly to stand at the door like this.

Soon they saw a familiar ghost: a fat monk from Hufflepuff, who was chatting with a knight with an arrow stuck in his forehead.

After seeing Ryan and the others, the fat monk quickly floated over and said to Ryan, "I heard from Nick that you helped him a lot at this banquet, so as a member of Hogwarts, I also want to thank you."

The fat monk was about to leave after thanking them, when he suddenly noticed Ryan and Hermione looking at the ghosts on the field in a daze. He slapped his forehead and floated back and said, "I think you may not know everyone. Let me introduce you to some interesting people."

After that, he brought Ryan and Hermione to the knight who was shot by an arrow and introduced him: "His name is Earl the Brave. During the first goblin rebellion, he held a stronghold for three days until reinforcements arrived. However, when he was about to win, he was ambushed by a goblin crossbowman during the pursuit."

"Wait, I know you." Hermione said, "You were introduced in the Magic Master, and I thought you were the perfect embodiment of the bravery and tenacity of wizards at that time."

"Really?" The knight ghost subconsciously touched the arrow on his head, "Is my story really known to everyone? This is great. After all, I have been living in an abandoned castle in Wales and I am not well-informed."

The fat monk then introduced them to several ghosts, all of whom had participated in some major historical events during their lifetime, and one or two of them were even key figures in historical events like Earl.

They were also very interested in Hermione, a wizard who cared about their great achievements during their lifetime, and began to talk to Hermione. Hermione was also very happy to get first-hand historical materials up close, and even took out paper and notebooks from her arms to record something.

At this time, Ryan, who was left out, began to look around boredly. He saw a long table covered with a black velvet tablecloth at the other end of the classroom.

There were dozens of plates neatly arranged on the table, each covered with a silver cover. It looked like Nick was going to give everyone a surprise at the end.

Several ghosts stood by the table, looking at the plates curiously and discussing why Nick covered the plates. After all, ghost banquets had never been done this way before.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from under the table: "Ha, little brat from Hogwarts. What are you doing here?"

It turned out to be Peeves, the only colorful ghost among all the ghosts.

"I did Nick a favor, so he invited me to the party."

"I think you're a little bored at this party, so let me find some fun for you." After saying this, Peeves grabbed a corner of the tablecloth and looked like he wanted to throw everything to the ground.

But just as Pipi was about to pull the tablecloth, a hoarse voice came from behind him: "What, interesting things, can you tell me what it is?"

Peeves froze there for a moment. Then he said tremblingly, "Sir, sir. I didn't do anything. Believe me."

The Bloody Baron grabbed Peeves by the neck and said in his low, hoarse voice, "Finally I found you. Nick, please let me keep an eye on you today. After all, today is his big day, and he doesn't want you to ruin his party. I also don't want you to bring shame to our Hogwarts. Now, come over there and sit with me for a while."

After that, Barrow carried Peeves away with a frustrated look on his face. At this time, Nick came out from the crowd and said, "It seems that your companions enjoy this party as much as you do."

Ryan followed the direction of Nick's finger and looked at Hermione, who was dressed as a reporter and writing something in a notebook. There was a circle of ghosts around her, and each ghost looked very happy.

"It's really interesting." Ryan's words were not perfunctory, because seeing so many ghosts in one go this time, observing this species hovering on the edge of death was very helpful for improving his level of life magic. "Okay, I think I should go on stage to give a speech, see you later." Nick said and floated to the stage.

As Nick stood on the platform, he heard a hunting horn sound. Twenty ghost horses ran out from the wall, each with a headless rider. Everyone's attention was drawn to them.

The horses ran to the center of the dance floor, and on the leading horse sat a headless knight who tucked his head under his armpits. He then jumped off the horse and raised his head high to observe the people on the field, which naturally attracted cheers from the ghosts on the field.

When he saw Nick again, he put his head on his neck and walked towards Nick and said, "Nick! How are you? Is your head still hanging there?"

Nick took off his head, which caused another round of exclamations. He held his head in one hand, patted the headless knight's shoulder with the other hand and said with a big laugh: "Thank you for your words. Now you can't stop me from joining the headless hunter team, Patrick."

Patrick should be Nick's old rival, and this time he came with the goal of ruining the place. However, he started off badly, and Nick completely cracked the place where he could attack Nick the most in the past.

After seeing his centuries-old rival suffer a defeat, Nick strode up to the podium and began to give his speech.

After being frustrated for a while, Patrick stood up and continued to make trouble for his old rival. He and other members of the Headless Hunter team played a game of headers, and everyone turned around to watch. It seems that the ghost's life should be quite boring, so the performance-rich sports like the Headless Hunters are easily welcomed by everyone.

Nick tried to get the audience's attention back, but a dry speech was definitely not as interesting as heads flying around.

At this time, Ryan ran up to the podium and whispered to Nick, "Jazz, let's eat quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes, how could I forget this." Nick made a gesture to the Bloody Baron in the audience with sudden realization. Baron immediately lowered his head and said something to Peeves.

Peeves waved his hand mercilessly, and the silver lids covering the plates on the dining table flew up and piled up beside the table.

Soon, a faint smell that was very different from the smell of ordinary food filled the underground classroom. Many ghosts were attracted to the dining table. However, all the ghosts could not figure out what was on the table, so they could only stand by the table awkwardly.

Ryan saw that under Hermione's instigation, Earl, who had an arrow in the head, was the first to reach out and take a large piece of meat from the roasted whole lamb in soul state on the table and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Earl's expression froze, and then he began to stuff the meat into his mouth frantically.

The noise here also attracted other ghosts, and soon the table was full of ghosts who came to eat. Nick held a bucket of wine under his arm and toasted everyone at the table with small cups.

Patrick continued to act awkwardly for a while after realizing that no one was looking at them, and then joined the group of ghosts scrambling for food at the table.

It seems that the law of true fragrance cannot be escaped in any world.
