Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

240. Chapter 240 The Deed of the Black Family

    "Sirius, what the hell is this?"Harry asked in surprise.

    "I don't know, it's not the same as when I came here 16 years ago!"Sirius looked around and wondered, "In my impression, the gold coins and gold products of Chengshan are filled with the whole room, and there is no place to stay…"

    Now, the empty treasury, in addition to all sorts of bizarre treasures and the dark magic items that are known to be very evil at a glance, can't even be seen in the shadow of gold.

    "Griphook ?!"

    "We can't reveal the secrets of our customers, but it doesn't seem to be something that needs to be hidden."Griphook said with gloating, "This vault was opened 13 years ago. According to the owner of the vault, Mrs. Walburga Black, we sent people to transfer all the gold and valuables here to Bellatrix · Mrs. Lestrange and Narcissa · Mrs . Malfoy is in the personal vault of two people. Because there is so much gold, we have been busy for two days. ”

    When I heard the description of Griphook, Ivan could imagine the scene at the time.

    The Goblins lined up in and out of the Black family's vault, and they were filled with gold in their arms and transported them to the personal vault above.

    “Unexpectedly, after Regulus’s death, my dear old mother re-distributed the family’s property.”Sirius sarcastically said, "My two cousins ​​have a share. They are married to Death Eater, one of the craziest Death Eaters. My mother is proud of them. Not surprisingly, I should have guessed that she would do this, and she definitely didn't want to leave it to me. ”

    Sirius walked over to a Skeleton Head and mentioned it to the side.

    The cracked ancient skull rolled on the ground, making an uncomfortable sound of squeaking and squeaking, rolling into the dark corner of the room.

    Ivan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other and saw each other's eyes.

    It seems that I noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right. Sirius immediately raised his head and said, "Well, you three don't want to be downcast. No one cares about the gold. We are here to find the deed. I want to see them, they should still be here. ”

    He went to a cupboard and rummaged, Ivan hurried to help.

    Sirius is right. Everything that seems dangerous is a dark magic item and something that clearly has a Black family emblem. It is left here and there is no movement.

    A disorderly mess has a lot of things besides no gold.

    There are a lot of merely eccentric decorations that belong to the personal collection of former Black family members. There are also many items with magic power, and Ivan even feels a powerful magic power response from several items. Unfortunately, most of the items here are dark magic items that cannot be used.

    Ivan saw a simple card in front of a spacious, dark red stone bench.

    The card shows that all the items on this table belong to Artus Black. Ivan still remembers the Black family genealogy that I saw yesterday. This guy is a grandfather of Sirius, a character who probably lived around three or four years ago.

    On the stone platform, the most striking thing is a mat in a glass bowl with a stagnant glass eyeball and blood stained Scabbers.

    It seems to be taken directly from the eyes of someone.

    There are various bones placed on the inner side of the stone platform, most of which are the bones of the magical creature, but many of them look at the shape to know the human bone.

    There could be no deed on the top, and Ivan walked to the side to open another closed cabinet.

    Under the cover of thick dust, he saw dozens of large glass bottles filled with unknown liquids of yellow and green liquid.

    Ivan narrowed his eyes, approached a little forward, and watched curiously.

    The glass bottle closest to him contained a gray snake, which was very slender and seemed to be a thicker line. It bends at a weird angle, very similar to the pattern of the fire snake in the book.

    The fire snake is a rare magical creature that was born in magic.

    When a bunch of magic flames burn uncontrolled for a long time, the fire snake will be created. It is a snake with red light in its eyes. It is thin and grayish white. It is drilled out of the flame and swims into the shadows of the surrounding houses.

    Where the fire snake swims, it will leave a trail of gray.

    Its life span is only one hour. In this hour, it will find a hidden place to lay down the eggs, and then the body will be broken and turned into dust.

    The eggs of the fire snake are dazzling red, giving off a hot glow.

    If people don't find these eggs in time, they will ignite the home in a few minutes. These snake eggs have a strong magic power that can be used as a potent potion material or swallowed intact to treat a fever as long as it is frozen with magic.

    Because of the high demands on the flame, this snake is actually very difficult to be born.

    As for the complete preservation of a ash snake into a specimen, it is impossible to do it. Ivan has not seen anything other than the one inside the bottle.

    Just as he was about to get closer and look at what was interesting in the other bottles, he suddenly heard Hermione's voice.

    "Come on, I found the deed!"She shouted.

    Hermione took a lot of yellow paper from a file cabinet, which was full of text and was very hard to read. It was a long time ago grammar. At the end, there is the emblem of the Black family and the seal of the Ministry of Magic, which proves that the deed is legal and valid.

    "This is Spider's End Lane No. 6!"Hermione took the top deed and took a closer look. "I have never heard of this place, where is the spider tail lane?"

    “On the north side of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, there is a large muggle area.”Sirius came over and explained, “There is a very old wizard gathering area, about five hundred years old, because there are quite a few dark wizards that have become ruined in recent decades, and this house has no meaning.”

    Below this deed, it is the deed of 12 Grimmauld Place. It belonged to the Black family thousands of years ago. In addition to the house, it also includes a large area of ​​land around it. The predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the Presbyterian Church, and the then left behind emblem of the Muggle King.

    The fourth deed is a shop in Knockturn Alley, with a long-term rental agreement in each of the two deeds.

    Knockturn Alley 21 was rented to an old witch for a period of 40 years to sell things like poison apples and poison candles. As for the 83rd, it was rented to the McNee family for a period of one hundred years to sell fur and skulls of various magical creatures.

    Later, the fifth deed was finally the store on Diagon Alley, Diagon Alley 36.

    “Diagon Alley 36!”Hermione recalled carefully, “It seems to be between the Owl Owl Store and the Ollivander wand store, where…”

    In Ivan's memory, there is indeed a big house that has been idle for a long time.

    If nothing else, there should be Diagon Alley 36. Although this position is not the best, there are a lot of people around. Especially when the school is about to start every year, many young wizards have to buy wand or buy an owl as a pet.

    It is a good fit for the newspaper headquarters. If the place is big enough, the first floor location can be fully utilized to sell things like Weasley joke products.

    In the file cabinet, the last deed is a manor in the countryside of the Black family. The area is very large and there seems to be a deserted castle.
