Chapter 210: Sir Stoker

Chapter 210: Sir Stoker

Neville and the others who followed behind Jon were invited to enter the tower under Rabier's sidelong invitation.

From the outside, the whole tower is very long and narrow, giving the impression that the interior is at most like the vast majority of lighthouses on the sea, with rooms in the centre with a spiral staircase built around the walls at best.

But in fact, Undetectable Extension Charm is a practical spell that almost every wizard tries to learn, a convenient magic that allows them to build a house without having a large space.

After entering the door, there is a not-so-small foyer, or rather this whole floor is a foyer. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The floor is covered with a cashmere carpet that looks warm, and the fireplace on the wall has a dancing flame emitting light and heat, allowing people like Neville, who was originally shrinking his neck in the cold outside, to relax his body as soon as he entered the door.

In the middle of the foyer is a spiral staircase that winds upward and leads to the ceiling.

Rabier led them straight to the stairs, after both of their feet stepped on the wooden stairs, the spiral staircase began to move up automatically like the stairs in Hogwarts Castle, without the need for Jon to take his own steps.

The steps went up quickly, and in addition to the foyer, they could only occasionally see the furnishings of other floors further up, most of which were enclosed around, with only one door on each floor and this nearly endless spiral staircase connected.

Jon estimated in his mind, they probably climbed upwards a distance of 40 or 50 meters beyond when the spiral staircase which was still not reached the top, stopped abruptly.

Here is also an open space, the floor is covered with more elaborate cashmere carpet than the foyer, with a mild warm light chandelier illuminated here, and on the coffee table in the centre, the kettle jumped up to pour water into the teacups, several silver plates containing a variety of pastries, floated and arranged on the table.

After Jon came to this floor, as if casually sweeping a glance he looked at the plain fireplace, and did not find any small box with green powder on the mantel.

Only one person is sitting in this lounge-like room.

An old man with glasses and silver hair is sitting on a single sofa chair, with a black cat in his arms, looking at Jon with a smile on his face as he walked forward with Neville and the group.

"That's for sure, he's the only wizard who has visited me in the last ten years or so, was he the one who told you the location of Starr Tower?"

Jon noticed the "ten years" time period he said, and nodded quietly.

"He and I had a casual conversation, and he inadvertently mentioned to me that he had been entertained by you when he was travelling as a young man. Recently I came to this nearby sea with my students on a study trip, and thought I would bring them to visit you for a little while to gain some insight."

Richard Williams is naturally the identity Dumbledore assumed, he learned of Voldemort's voyage route several years ago, and he came to the tower in hidden identity to visit once, but that time he did not gain anything.

After learning the reason why he could find this place from Jon, Sir Stoker's attitude obviously changed a bit.

His attitude was a bit more eager, inviting Jon to have dinner with him.

In this regard, of course, Jon had no reason to refuse, from the situation in front of him, there is no problem in the behaviour of this Sir Stoker who lives in the high tower.

He initially remained wary of Jon and them, just because no one would normally notice this tower, and after Jon gave a reasonable answer, he regained his friendly enthusiasm.

Jon didn't notice anything wrong with his gaze or the expression on his face, nor did he notice that his mind, which had been operating under occlumency, was being spied on.

This certainly does not yet completely dissipate the wariness in Jon's mind, but some things can always be put on the table to ask out.
