The pattern of the magic world before the millennium was different from the present. At that time, the British social background was very chaotic, the territory was not unified, and the entire European continent was also in the wild and dark.
In addition to the wizards, many miraculous creature races are also very prosperous.
They don't live in seclusion like they do now. On the contrary, their figures frequently appear in the magic world, exchange and trade frequently with the wizards, and even accept the employment of the wizard directly into the Muggle war.
Among the many magical creatures, the fairy is absolutely extremely special.
Because of their greed and love of gold, they are most closely connected with human beings. They open shops directly in the wizarding society and provide the wizard with a large number of well-made magical props, weapons, armor and other services.
undefinedBut the innate pride and deceit in their character make them not believe in human beings.
In the eyes of the fairy, they and the human wizard are only equal cooperation and the same status. To be more explicit, it is purely the use of money and the relationship of being used.
As long as they are not satisfied, they will launch a rebellion and make a fuss.
In this environment, many powerful wizards and pure-blood wizard families do not believe in fairy spirits. They are skeptical about the Gringing Club established by the fairy.
In their view, compared to the Guling Pavilion, which is worthy of discussion, they would rather bury the treasures of their families in their castles or in hidden places.
This ethos was very popular in the Middle Ages and in the previous period, which is the main reason why many precious magic relics can be found in later generations.
After centuries of excavation, the remains of these magical relics have become very rare, and the remains that have not been found or successfully excavated are the remains of very powerful wizards. For example, the Pyramids of Egypt, Gringotts and the Egyptian wizarding authorities have long-term cooperation. They jointly explored and cracked this ancient magical relic for a long time. Ron's brother Bill Weasley was there to be a curator. jobs.
The rulers of Egypt thousands of years ago, the powerful pharaohs and wizards have placed countless powerful magic and curses in the pyramid, and the cracking work is progressing very slowly.
Like the pyramids, the same is true of the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff families. They did not save the family's wealth in the Gringotts like Slytherin and Ravenclaw, but hide it in other The place has not been discovered so far.
How much property does Godric Gryffindo have? I'm not sure.
However, in the relevant history book of magic, the description of Helga Hufflepatch is accurate and unambiguous: her own hobby is to collect gold in addition to cooking.
With the strength of Hufflepuff, the property she left is definitely an amazing astronomical number, but she does not know where she will be hiding, and the Hufflepuff family also has no descendants. There was a sudden thought in Ai Wen's mind that she would not hide those things in the secret room of Hogwarts. It was really
When he paid all kinds of hardships, he opened the secret treasure left by the Big Four and found that Hufflepuff left him a whole room of gold!
Ai Wen smiled and hurriedly removed the idea from his mind. Although gold was good, it was useless in defeating Voldemort. He could not directly use Volt to kill Voldemort.
Ai Wen observed for a while, and he found that in addition to the statues of these family emblems, there were many strange instruments on the islands above the lava in the distance.
They are all made of metal, which looks extremely magnificent and grotesque, like a weapon left by some ancient civilization.
Ai Wen knows that those things are not weapons, but the goblins are used to forge and refine magical items.
As everyone knows, in addition to greed, the goblin is also famous for being good at creating excellent magical equipment.
Historically, many legendary magic items have been made by goblins.
One of the most famous is Shi Zhongjian, who was co-produced by Archmage Merlin and the fairy. This is the most famous magic sword in history. At that time, it decided the ownership of the British throne and the future direction of the magic world.
It is also since then that many non-human magical creatures have gradually withdrawn from the historical arena.
Of course, there is the Gryffindor sword made by the fairy, which is a sword purchased from the fairy when Godric Gryffindor was alive. He applied magic on it, only the real Gryffindor could find it. In the secret room last semester, Harry killed the basilis with this sword.
Ai Wen regained his gaze, and by his side, Harry was still looking around and shouting, "It's incredible, how did they do it!"
"The goblins have a strong magic, they have their own unique magical civilization." Hermione followed with amazement. "A closer look reveals that all of these islands float on the lava but are not melted by the magma. Powerful magic can do it. To be honest, I don't know how the goblins built such a huge project. In my opinion, this is impossible."
"Nothing is impossible!" said the ring proudly. "The goblins have their own special magic, which is much more advanced than the human wizard."
He took the key from Sirius and walked to the mark that marked the 68th. It was the family name of the Black family. The most striking thing was the two black dogs that stood up and carved from obsidian.
There is a narrow gap above the bronze door below the statue, and the pull ring goes over and puts the key in and gently turns.
His action seems to have touched an organ, and the ground rumbling came.
The door was slowly opened and a stone ladder appeared in front of everyone. The Black House's vault reveals its true face, with a large rectangular room in front.
Ai Wen, Harry, and Hermione rushed in excitedly. They all wanted to see what it looked like in the vault, and how the wealth of the Black family was shocking!
Just look at the environment where the vault is located, the dangerous magma and the emblem of the stunning ancient pure blood wizarding family on the island.
All of this is enough to lift everyone's interest.
They all want to know what is in the Black family vault, although Sirius said before, it is very boring, there are gold products everywhere. But filling a whole room with gold is, in a sense, an amazing achievement.
Avon, Harry, and Hermione rushed in. They thought they would see gold coins, silver bars and other valuable antiques.
But there is nothing in front of them, and the vault is very empty. It seems that it has just been robbed, and a gold product cannot be seen.
It is really shocking enough, but it is exactly the opposite of what I imagined before.
It is not so much a vault, but more accurately, it is like a storage room for an evil black wizard.
The shelves on both sides are filled with strange and unrealistic black magic items.
For example, on the shelf on the left side of Ai Wen, there is a black skull with a crown.
This slightly sunken bone is engraved with gorgeous patterns, and it radiates a strange atmosphere, which looks both horrible and disgusting.
In the corner of the room, there is a white skeleton of a huge fire dragon that does not know the kind. It is re-matched with magic and stands there. Every bone is engraved with the emblem of the Black family. I don't know the history of the Black family. Which of the ancestors left behind is a bad taste collection.
What the **** is going on, saying good treasures of the Black family? !
Everyone brushed and turned to look at the little Sirius that had just walked in, waiting for his explanation. (To be continued.)
"Sirius, what the **** 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. There are no places."
Now, the empty treasury, in addition to all kinds of bizarre treasures and a very evil black magic item at a glance, can't even see the shadow of gold.
"Pull ring?!"
"We can't reveal the secrets of our customers, but it doesn't seem to be something that needs to be hidden." The ring sullenly said, "This vault was opened 13 years ago, according to the owner of the vault, Mrs. Walbuga Black. Instructed, we sent people to transfer all the gold and valuables here to the personal vault of Mrs. Bellatrix Lestrange and Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy. Because there is so much gold, We have been busy for two days."
undefinedHearing the description of the pull ring, Evan can 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 the death of Regulus, my dear old mother re-distributed the property of the family." Sirius said sarcastically, "My two cousins have a share, they are one Married to the Death Eater, one is the craziest Death Eater, my mother must be proud of them. Not surprising, I should have guessed that she would do this, she must not want to stay give me."
Sirius walked over to a **** 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.
Evan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other and saw the fear in 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 dejected. No one cares about the gold. We are here to find the deed. If I look, they should still be there. Here."
He went to a cupboard and rummaged, and they hurried to help.
Sirius is right, everything that looks dangerous and black magic items and something clearly marked with the Black family emblem are left here, no movement.
In addition to no gold, there are a lot of messy things.
There are a lot of merely eccentric decorations that belong to the personal collection of former Black family members. There are also many items that have magical power, and Ai Wen even feels a powerful magical reaction from several items. Unfortunately, most of the items here are black magic items, and it is impossible to use them.
In front of a spacious, dark red stone table, Avon saw a simple card.
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 the great grandfather of Sirius, a person 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 stains.
It seems to be taken out of the eyes of someone directly.
There are various bones placed on the inner side of the stone platform, most of which are the bones of magical creatures, but many of them look at the shape and know that they are human bones.
There could be no deed on the top, and Avon went 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.
Ai Wen 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 the size of a thicker line. It bends at a weird angle and is very similar to the fire snake pattern in the book.
The Fire Snake is a rare magical creature that was born in magic.
When a pile of magic fires burns uncontrollably 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 from 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 hidden places to lay 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 magical power, and as long as they are frozen with magic, they can be used as a potent potion or completely swallowed to treat a fever.
Because of the high demands on the flame, this snake is actually very difficult to be born.
As for the complete preservation of a fire snake into a specimen, it is even impossible to do it. Except for this one in the bottle, Ai Wen has not seen anything similar.
Just as he was about to get closer and look at what other interesting things were 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 picked up the top of the deed and looked at it carefully. "I have never heard of this place, where is the spider tail lane?"
"On the north side of Diagonal Lane and Overturned Lane, there is a large Muggle area." Sirius came over and explained, "There is a very old gathering place of wizards, probably more than 500 years old, because there are Many black wizards have become ruined in recent decades, and this house has no meaning."
Below this deed, it is the deed of 12 Grimaud Square. It belonged to the Black family before the millennium. In addition to the house, it also included a large area of land. The deed had the predecessor of the Ministry of Presbytery and the emblem of the Muggle King.
The fourth deed is a shop in the down alley, and there are a long-term rental agreement in each of the two deeds.
The No. 21 overturned lane was rented to an old witch for a period of 40 years to sell things like poison apples and poisonous candles. As for the 83rd, it was rented to the Menai family for a period of one hundred years to sell the fur and head of various magical creatures.
Later, the fifth deed is finally the shop on Diagonal Alley, No. 36 Diagonal Lane.
"No. 36 Diagonal Lane!" Hermione recalled carefully. "It seems to be between the Owl Owl Store and the Olifand Wand Shop, where"
In the memory of Ai Wen, there is indeed a big house that has been idle for a long time.
If there is no accident, there should be No. 36 Diagonal Lane. 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 little wizards have to buy a wand or buy an owl to make a pet.
It is suitable to be used as a newspaper headquarters. If the place is large enough, the first floor location can be fully utilized to sell things like Weasley joke products.
In the file cabinet, the last deed was a manor in the countryside of the Black family, which was very large and seemed to have a deserted castle. (To be continued.)
