Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

"Hey, it's strange, why is there no one?"

Levina asked questions while looking around.

"According to common sense, there should be something nearby?"

"Are you remembering it wrong?" Jack couldn't help but ask.

In the evening, he asked Levina if she knew of anyone who used psychic powers.

Without thinking, Levina told him directly that there were many such people in the escort team.

Jack agreed with Levina's statement.

It's not because the other party is a native of this place and doesn't understand some situations. He simply believed that mutated beasts were not something ordinary people could deal with, and only extraordinary beings could fight against them.

Since there is such a restriction, of course, as a violent organization, the guard team has a large number of awakened people who can use spiritual power.

Then, their goals become clear.

Go find a member of the Guard and observe.

So, where are such people?

It was obvious that the outermost defense line of the city were all members of the escort team.

So Jack asked Levina to come over.

But what I didn't expect was that I couldn't see anyone along the way.

This city seemed to have no defense power.

The surrounding area was deserted, not to mention any serious awakened people, not even ordinary people who had sneaked into the escort team.

To sum it up simply, I didn’t see anyone.

This is so weird.

"Has this city been abandoned?" Jack was curious.

As time goes by, he gradually grasps the current situation of the world.

There is no doubt that this world is very dangerous.

Will one or two mutated beasts appear and rush into the gathering place of humans to cause destruction?

Not to mention the wild beasts outside, even the poultry raised by humans may suddenly mutate, and then the identity of the prey and hunter will be directly swapped, and a mass killing will begin.

what?

No livestock allowed?

Stop it.

The lives of common people are not as important as the enjoyment of noble gentlemen.

We can't let noble gentlemen eat grass and leaves every day, right?

Anyway, for various reasons, cities will always be attacked by mutant beasts.

If you want the city to continue, you must use powerful protective forces to protect it.

A pure escort team composed of awakened people came into being.

Of course, there are also auxiliary troops composed of ordinary people who help the escort.

The situation before Levina and Jack now is that neither the escort nor the auxiliary troops can see it.

That's why people couldn't help but raise that question.

Has the city been abandoned?

Why is there no armed force at all?

"Isn't it a noble who was removed by the city lord to defend the inner circle?" Levina frowned.

"Inner circle?" Jack asked, not understanding, "What is that."

"Our city is under the management of Earl Tushan. With the city lord's palace as the center and the twelve adjacent streets, it is surrounded by city walls. Nobles and wealthy businessmen live inside. That is the inner circle. Outside of this, Naturally, it’s the outer circle where we are.”

Levina spoke slowly, explaining Jack's doubts.

"Actually, the inside of the city wall is the old city. The part outside the city wall is the new city built behind it as time goes by."

The Tushan City where they were located was formerly the private property of the Earl of Tushan family, a Tushan Castle.

As time went by, the land was enclosed outside the castle and a city wall was built, which was the former Tushan City.

Counting the time, that was thousands of years ago.

What's behind...

Anyway, the regime of the Golden Flower Empire has been relatively stable in recent hundreds of years, and there have been no internal wars, so they have not continued to build the city wall.

Just let the city expand outwards, and the new population will live outside.

The inner space of the city wall was transformed into an exclusive area for the powerful.

"According to you, there are many powerful people living there?" Jack felt something strange.

An entire old city is the residence of the rich and powerful?

Could there be many people living inside?

"No, just dozens of families, right?" Levina was not sure, "A few barons, a few big businessmen, and some knight families? They just built bigger houses."

Speaking of this, a look of envy appeared on her face.

"A few years ago, before there was an epidemic in the world, Count Tushan would open the inner circle every New Year and hold celebrations inside so that everyone could go in and celebrate the festival. I went in a few times and was lucky enough to meet the city lord. The mansion is so big. There is a small garden inside. After walking around the edge, I was out of breath and couldn't walk. I heard that it was only the smallest garden, and there were five others bigger than it. .”

When Jack heard this, he realized that he had gone astray.

Since he is a powerful person, of course he cannot live in a small house like ordinary people.

It is completely impossible for them to have a room with a few square meters or more than ten square meters.

It can be called a shame if the bedroom is less than 100 square meters.

Not worthy of being a noble.

"I see, I probably understand." Jack sighed.

He rose too quickly, developed too quickly, and never enjoyed it much.

Even though he is the lord of the empire, he may not have enjoyed as many things as the nobles in this world.

Some concepts have not yet been switched from the perspective of ordinary people.

So something feels weird.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Jack, who felt a little embarrassed, didn't want to continue to stir up the topic, "I mentioned before that those guards may have been transferred to the inner circle to protect the powerful, right?"

"That should be it, right?" Levina's tone was not firm.

To be honest, she wasn't sure, she had just heard such rumors.

"Someone has said before that if too many members of the escort team die, the city lord will transfer manpower to the inner circle and give priority to protecting the people living in the inner circle. When the manpower of the escort team is replenished, the defense will be re-arranged Periphery.”

Levina said a little helplessly.

This is the difference between ordinary people and powerful people.

"If that's the case, then we should go to the inner circle." Jack made a judgment. "It would be too unsafe to continue going outside."

He didn't expect such a thing.

After all, he didn't know much about this world.

"Okay." Levina nodded lightly.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a rumbling sound.

The sound was not quiet, but it was quite far away.

What is that sound?

Could it be a mutated beast?

Levina swallowed subconsciously.

"Let's go over and take a look." Jack, who ordered so, could see clearly.

In the distance, a truck is driving.

Probably because the truck was too old, its engine made a lot of noise.

The rumbling noise they heard was caused by that thing.

"Okay... okay."

Levina nodded hesitantly.

Then, he walked over somewhat reluctantly.
