Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 6: Extraordinary Characteristics: Butcher Instinct
Ever since being invited by Dumbledore himself to study magic at Hogwarts.

This half-month waiting time seems particularly difficult to endure.

However, when he went out in person to take a look at the Leaky Cauldron in advance, he met a mysterious man in black robes, so he gave up the idea and stayed in the orphanage.

Ian shuddered at the thought of the possible darkness in the magical world.

He is the soul of an adult.

But college students...how can they handle that kind of situation?

I can only say that I have become honest.

Sitting at the desk, Ian was flipping through the books on the table. He frowned and thought from time to time. He kept writing down words in a notebook and then reading them out loud.

Self-study always requires strong self-discipline.

This cannot be changed even with the property panel.

Every increase in proficiency means that Ian has learned something, and every increase in proficiency can be seen as a small epiphany.

But the prerequisite for this kind of epiphany is to study seriously.

of course.

When you upgrade, you will indeed feel a kind of "understanding" similar to enlightenment.

Ian is studying.

And just then.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door. Ian was interrupted and turned to look at the door. He responded, "Come in."

Click.

The door was pushed open and the person who knocked on the door was Catherine. She leaned against the door with a bright gleam in her eyes.

"Ian, do you want some chicken legs? The chef said we have extra chicken legs tonight!"

She held the chicken drumstick in her hand and handed it to him as if it were a treasure.

At Catherine's feet, a white short-haired cat scurried in, leaped onto the table with an agile figure, and half-crouched.

Catherine was startled, but she stopped and looked at the cat clearly from where she was.

"Gilly! You're such a nuisance!"

Ian spanked the cat's butt, picked up the cat squatting on the table, and comforted Catherine: "Okay, Catherine, I have already taught it a lesson."

Catherine nodded aggrievedly, still a little annoyed as she looked at the cat.

And Ian comforted Catherine with a smile.

"Gilly didn't mean it, Catherine, just relax."

"Okay, Ian."

Children's temper always comes and goes quickly.

Catherine finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ian, when can we go to the magic academy?"

Ian smiled at the little girl.

indeed.

No one can resist the temptation of magic, but he still wants to remind Catherine.

"Catherine, we agreed to keep it a secret."

Catherine immediately covered her mouth: "Ian, I..."

Ian smiled and said, "Of course, just tell me, it really doesn't matter. However, if you want to learn magic, you may have to wait a few years according to your age."

"Yeah, I must eat more and grow up quickly. Ian, let's go play with Norn and the others!"

Facing the little girl's expectant eyes.

Ian shook his head and laughed, then turned to look at the language book on the desk.

Originally, he wanted to upgrade his language skills to level 5 and comprehend extraordinary characteristics.

But now, after being disturbed by Catherine, he was no longer in the mood to study. If he forced himself to continue studying, he was afraid that his efficiency would not be high.

He checked the properties panel.

[Biological Anatomy Extraordinary Characteristics: Butcher's Instinct]

After a few days of crazy study, my language proficiency has reached level 4, and I only need proficiency points to reach level . Other aspects.

Because I didn't go out to tell fortunes for people these days, my psychology didn't improve. The same is true for biological anatomy, which is why my language skills improved so quickly.

After all, people's time is limited.

"Let's go."

Ian put the cat down.

The white cat immediately and nimbly left the room, and Ian also left the room with Catherine.

When we got to the yard, the kids were playing football, and they were very happy to see Ian. Ian, who was not much older than them, often took on a parental role. He was not so strict, but he could take good care of the kids.

"Hey! Ian, come join our team!"

"No, Ian finally came out to play, he should be on our team, that way we can win!"

I didn't expect that the kids almost started fighting.

Ian smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, let me be the goalkeeper!"

There were only a few days left before leaving the orphanage to go to Hogwarts, and Ian felt an indescribable reluctance to leave the people and many things here.

At night, the stars are sparse.

Ian finished washing up and lay down on the bed. Although he had a very fulfilling day, he was still thinking about the things he had always longed for.

"When can I practice magic skills?"

soon.

Sleepiness came over me.

Fall into a sweet dream.

The clear sky is like a freshly washed sapphire, crystal clear. The white clouds are like carefully carved marshmallows, fluffy and white. They float leisurely in the air. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, like elves playing, adding a bit of vividness to this tranquil picture.

Here I come again, into this hazy fantasy world!
Ian opened his arms, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the tranquility of this world.

He saw a fairy-tale forest stretching out under the picturesque sky.

The trees are lush and green, and the green leaves rustle in the breeze, as if whispering ancient secrets. Small animals shuttle between them, and butterflies and bees fly among the flowers. A winding stone path leads to the depths of the forest, and at the end is darkness.

This time, he didn't see Ariana.

Ian has become accustomed to it. After all, there has always been a huge gap in the passage of time between the two worlds.

Only seven minutes passed in the real world, but in the hazy fantasy, it seemed like half a day had passed.

Every time I entered the hazy fantasy, several days would pass in the fantasy, and sometimes there would be a time error of several months. There was no accurate standard for the passage of time.

To be honest, it was just a coincidence that I happened to meet Ariana last time.

Ian walked along the grass towards the path. From time to time, some strange animals in the forest jumped out from the bushes, looked at him curiously and then disappeared. Ian walked forward along the winding path, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, falling on the ground in dots.

I don't know how long it took.

He came to a small town hidden in a valley.

Although this town is small, its facilities are relatively complete; the old post office stands quietly, the bar sign sways gently in the breeze, and the church spire reaches into the sky, solemn and dignified.

Everything was normal, except that the seemingly harmonious town lacked a sense of life. All the shops were closed and empty.

It's like the weird small town in some horror movies, but it lacks that eerie and spooky feeling.

"The town of the dead."

The scene of this small town reminded Ian of what Ariana once said, that there were people here before, but gradually they all left. Perhaps these souls just forgot their obsessions in the hazy fantasy, or they fulfilled their obsessions, so they went to the next more mysterious adventure.

"In an unpopulated place, you can definitely feel the loneliness." Soon, Ian walked through the deserted streets and came to the cottage where Ariana lived.

"Huh? What about people?"

The door of the hut was closed, and Ian walked forward and looked into the window, which was also closed. It was very quiet inside, just like the shops, without any sound or movement.

Ian felt something was strange.

Over the past few years.

Ariana never left the vicinity of this town.
This was the first time Ian couldn't find Arianna.

He also wanted to ask what the mark Ariana gave him last time was! Could this disappearance be related to the gift she gave him?

Ian began to feel a little worried.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, breaking the silence of the street. The voice was elegant and a little cold, like the voice of a powerful queen.

"Oh, heartbroken little boy, are you waiting for that poor little girl?"

Ian was startled by the voice and turned his head quickly.

A woman was standing in front of him. Her eyes were like deep black gemstones, with slightly upturned corners and thick eyelashes covering her graceful eyes like a fan.

Is this an elegant, extremely beautiful... young woman? The woman was wearing a black robe with gold-lined edges, and her temperament was cold and solemn.

However, such a gorgeous appearance and shape seem out of place in this simple town.
