Chapter 248: Two Knights

For a long time, Sien hadn't seen Sir Cadogan, and he had once again habitually wandered around the castle for a while, which was something that never existed in his time planning.

But now, a vague worry made him walk through several more corridors.

"Little Green, hurry and make the knight stop his mouth!"

At this time, Lady Violet in a white-based dress appeared in the paddy field painting.

"Lady Violet."

Sien greeted politely, then listened nervously as Lady Violet explained the knight's glorious deeds over the past few days.

He was locked in a painting in the corridor, always chattering; for three days in a row, no one had seen his shadow, only the occasional poetic voice, accompanied by screams.

When Sien entered the dungeon quietly, a senior Slytherin had just finished brewing a potion; he looked nervously at Sien and the depths of the dungeon a few times, then fled the dungeon as if escaping.

Sien found Sir Cadogan's portrait at a glance; he was tied to a wooden stick by a bunch of trolls in a mess; if the fire below hadn't been unable to light, Sien suspected that the next time he saw the knight, it would be in a troll's stomach.

Even though he was bruised and swollen, and in a dangerous situation, the knight was still shouting loudly:

"Last year, I revered fine wine,

This year, I watch hope more than prejudice;

Last year, I stared at the flames,

This year, I am a kebab...

Ah—now, I am a lion gazing with head held high,

Completely lost in the care of hope."

The ladies followed behind Sien; they threw some meat chunks to lure the trolls away, and then spent a great deal of effort to drag the knight away,

"Knight, be quiet! Just consider it doing me a favor!"

Lady Violet said through gritted teeth.

"Of course, my lady. Knight Code Article 4: Always give aid to ladies."

Sir Cadogan's voice was lower at this time, but he was still singing like a spell:

"That stubborn donkey stuck in the mud, listen to me:

For now, don't be sad anymore.

Listen to the blessings, scatter their petals around you."

At this time, the sound of a jar breaking came from the depths of the dungeon, and the knight panicked:

"My lady, walk faster! Walk faster!"

Seeing his panicked appearance, Lady Violet finally "puffed" and laughed out loud, while the Fat Lady used an apple to plug his mouth.

By the way, she used an apple to plug her own mouth, saying "mmm-mmm":

"Little Green, you are always willing to forgive a fat woman with an apple in her mouth, right?"

Sien said seriously:

"Yes, my lady, I still trust you."

"Oh—child—"

The Fat Lady's eyes moistened.

By the time they walked out of the dungeon, Sien didn't ask why the knight had been singing for days, just said:

"Knight, you've helped enough."

The knight was bruised and swollen, grimacing in pain, and didn't speak.

It wasn't until Sien hurried to the alchemy office that he muttered:

"—What a good opportunity, two children with noble knightly qualities—oh, loyalty, and courage—"

Wind and snow were falling outside, and Sien was about to head upstairs; he didn't notice a thin line spreading from the dungeon to his warm palm, and spreading out into parchment between Professor Taila's fingers.

【Sean Green】.

Among all the first-year students, he was an extremely outstanding existence, favored by several professors.

Even that Potions professor was...

This was normal; an alchemy master was always proficient in almost all branches of magic, which was how he was able to see the mysterious alchemy.

But that child, he seemed too outstanding.

Professor Taila hadn't seen such a talented yet low-key and pragmatic child for a long time—staying in the greenhouse for months in a row was not easy, especially in such harsh weather as in Scotland.

Her indifferent expression gradually faded, but she remained very confident; even among all branches of magic, only alchemy was a miracle sufficient to change the world.

But it was still not enough...

At the same time, at Hope Cottage.

A group of people surrounded the front of the fireplace, Jia Siting's voice accompanied by the crackling of burning and slight breathing sounds.

"Hope Cottage is a hidden place; although Mr. Owl won't allow others to come in, we can't add trouble to it;

If someone wants to introduce a member to join, everyone must agree;

This room itself is a gift bestowed, specifically used for nurturing and storing hope, so do you understand? If you want to play around, you have to go to the common room..."

Jia Siting said several requirements in one breath, and these requirements were generally recognized by everyone.

The conversation had gone on until now, and Harry and Ron felt they had truly joined here; they listened word for word, not daring to miss a single bit.

"If a member of Hope Cottage gets into trouble, please offer aid if you can help. Even if it's wrong, we must be wrong together to the end." ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
