Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 203: Demihuman Village Decamund
A handful of light green Floo powder was sprinkled, and the flames in the fireplace instantly expanded and turned emerald green.

Ted carried the Psicrystal Servant Parker in his arms, several "Magic Poké Balls 2.2" hung from his waist, and a huge Anzu rested on his shoulder.

He gathered his wizard robes and stepped into the fire.

A special force of rotation and attraction enveloped his entire body, and he disappeared in an instant...

Half a month had passed since the summer vacation, and it was already July. After Ted exchanged this month's knowledge of the other world, he briefly explained the relevant matters of Xianyu.com, and now it was time to go to Jerry's house.

At the beginning of the summer vacation, Jerry was still helping out in Diagon Alley, earning some money to supplement the family income. But something happened at home in the second week, so he stayed at home and didn't come.

Now Ted plans to go over and see if he can help. After all, judging from Jerry's letter, things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

Now I am no longer the first-year student who has no power and no connections. I am also capable of helping my friends solve their problems.

……

The border between England and Scotland, Levenkel area, Lost Mountains.

This place is called the Lost Mountains by the locals of Levinkel because of the thick fog that often appears in the continuous mountains.

If someone walks into the mountains, they will often get lost in the fog, and after going around in circles, they will find that they have somehow walked out of the mountains.

Fortunately, this area is all mountainous and hilly, sparsely populated, and the information system is not well developed. Most people don’t go into the mountains, so outsiders don’t know about the strange phenomena here, and the subhuman village has never been discovered by Muggles.

That’s right, the subhuman village of Decamund is located in a valley in the Lost Mountains.

According to the Ministry of Magic's Department for the Control of Subhumans and Humanoids, there are now a total of 476 people in Decameron.

The mouse-eared tribe, rabbit-eared tribe, ox-horned tribe, dog-eared tribe, cat-eared tribe and so on, most of them are sub-humans.

Each tribe has a population ranging from a dozen to dozens of people. Among them, the Ox-Horned Tribe and the Mouse-Eared Tribe have the largest populations, both exceeding a hundred.

However, the three intelligent races from other worlds, such as gnomes, dwarves and elves, are treated much better.

The dwarves dug an underground town, Hammer Castle, deep in the mountains of the Misty Mountains, with a population of about two hundred people.

There are more than a hundred gnomes, and they live together in Hammer Castle because they have a good relationship with the dwarves.

The elves are treated the best and gather at the northernmost tip of the Pennine Mountains further south.

The British Ministry of Magic allocated them a large piece of land and allowed them to govern themselves.

It is said that the elven village of Tamriel was set up with multiple magic arrays, making it spring all year round.

Like other races, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Subhuman and Humanoid Management Department; but the elves have a separate Elf Reception Office! It can be seen that their status is not ordinary.

Ted opened his eyes, put his hands over the fireplace to block the ashes, and walked out of the fireplace.

Clean yourself up first, then look around.

A small, even slightly shabby shop - the wooden boards on the walls are full of traces of handwork, as if they were planed by themselves.

Looking at the shelves and the simple wooden counters, the goods are quite complete, ranging from daily necessities to some commonly used herbs.

Behind the wooden counter was a middle-aged mouse-eared man with gray hair.

He pushed his thick glasses and asked in a deep voice: "Young wizard, welcome to Decamund. How can I help you?"

Ted looked at the old man with a graying beard and asked, "Excuse me, are you Uncle Pulley?"

Before Ted came, he heard from Jerry that there were only two fireplaces connected to the Floo Network in the entire village. One was the Ministry of Magic's office in the village, which was for official purposes, and the other was in Uncle Priy's grocery store.

"Oh? I don't deserve to be your uncle. I'm Puli. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Jerry's classmate, Ted. Ted Epifani." Ted introduced himself.

"Oh! Ted, I heard Jerry talk about you. I also saw your report in the Daily Prophet. What an amazing young man..."

Old Prie was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Jerry's classmates would come. It seemed that Jerry was doing well in school.

"Oh, is this Ansu the raven? Jerry told me about it." He asked when he saw Ansu on Ted's shoulder.

"Oh, it's me, I'm Ansu." Ansu bowed proudly, then looked at Ted: Look, someone knows me here!

Ted: Don't you know whose help you got? I heard that Ted was looking for Jerry, and Uncle Pulley was very enthusiastic to show him the way.

After going out, Ted found that the place was indeed rather simple. Although the ground had been compacted, it was still a dirt road after all. Only a section of road in the center of the village was paved with stones.

Most of the houses around are made of wood and earth, and two-story buildings are the tallest.

The only house that was the best decorated and looked quite western style was the office of Arlis.

In fact, for a wizard, building a stone road is actually very simple.

But the subhumans have never had their own wizards before, and the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to waste its efforts on building infrastructure for them - even though it is almost a piece of cake and does not require any manpower or material resources.

This is also the reason why Jerry and other sub-human little wizards attach great importance to their identity as wizards. In the magical world, races without wizards are inferior and are not welcomed by others.

On the way, Ted saw several residential complexes with different architectural styles.

There are shed and log house styles, and there are Oxhorn tribal buildings with carved totem poles at the door.

There are also houses of the Rabbit-Eared Tribe whose roofs are covered with vegetation.

The Mouse-Eared Tribe are all short, and their buildings have their own characteristics. They are generally built on hillsides and are "double-story buildings" with underground and ground floors.

At first glance it looked like another cabin had been built on the Hobbit's Bag End.

"We're here. This is Hillary and Jerry's home. It wasn't easy to build this cottage." Uncle Priy knocked on the round wooden door.

After a long time, the door was finally opened. A slender middle-aged lady from the Mouse-Eared Tribe opened the door.

"Uncle Pulley?"

"Oh, Hillary, I'm bringing Jerry's classmate over here." Uncle Puli stepped aside to let the lady who opened the door see Ted behind him. In fact, Ted was half a head taller than him.

"Jerry's classmate? Is it Ted?! Jerry said you would come over in the next two days. Please come in quickly." Ms. Hillary was a little surprised.

After sending the person there, Uncle Puli left. After all, he still had to look after the store.

Jerry's mother asked Ted to sit down and poured him some hot tea. It seemed that this tea was given by Ted!
Take a sip, hmm, it is indeed! A specialty of Muggle society~
Ms. Hilly explained: "Jerry went out and followed the villagers to explore the mountains early in the morning..."

Ted put down his teacup. This was exactly what he came here for.

He asked, "Aunt Hilly, Jerry didn't go into detail in the letter, but just said something strange happened in the nearby mountains. Under the leadership of the Yaguansi, the village organized people to investigate, but there is no result yet. What happened?"

Ms. Hillary looked sad and began to explain the cause of the incident.

It all started before Hogwarts closed for the holidays.

Strange vibrations began to appear in the Lost Mountains. At first, I thought it was an earthquake! But because the amplitude was small, I didn't take it seriously.

Soon the vibrations started to become more frequent!

Moreover, many creatures in the mountain began to rush out of the mountain inexplicably.

Villagers like the Dog-Eared Tribe, who mainly engaged in hunting, were greatly affected, because some magical animals in the mountains began to become violent and even began to attack the village!

People like the Niujiao tribe, whose main source of income is collecting herbs, were also affected and their income dropped a lot.

The village was in a state of panic, so they looked for the wizards from the office - they took turns to be stationed here, which was a hard job, remote and boring.

But the wizards in the office are also good at procrastinating, one day today and another day tomorrow, and in the end they just say "the higher-ups have been notified, just wait for news."

It’s so good to wait like this, until something happens!
A violent and mad stone-tusk wild boar in the mountains rushed out of the mountain range and directly broke into a Muggle town outside, injuring eight people in a row and almost demolishing two shops and several houses!
Finally, police from several nearby towns came to support, using long and short guns, and dozens of shots to bring down the 500-600-pound violent stone-tusk boar - magical animals have a strong resistance to firearms.

Holy crap, this made the news!
The local police chief said in an interview that the wild boar was as strong as an armored vehicle!
Afterwards, many self-proclaimed brave hunters from all over the place came to this remote town with their hunting rifles and dogs to hunt big wild boars that would bring them glory for a lifetime!
The Reversal of Incidents Team of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, the Memory Destruction Training Department, and the Muggle Adjustment Committee were barely able to keep the matter under control.

Fortunately, a Muggle expert was asked to help, and he said that it was "a special mutated individual with a one in a million chance. There is no need to panic, and it is unlikely to encounter a second one." This made the case barely plausible.

So, you have to believe in science.
As a result, the Asian Management Department was criticized by their superiors because of this incident, and they were asked to quickly figure out what happened and prevent it from happening again.

Didn't the Asian Management Department organize the people in the village to start investigating? But it's been more than a week and there's still no useful information.
