Chapter 239: The Black Family's Title Deed

"Sirius, what the hell is going on?" asked Harry, surprised.

"I don't know, it's not the same as when I came sixteen years ago!" Sirius said suspiciously, looking around, "I have the impression that mountains of gold coins and gold artifacts are piled up all over the room, and there is no place to stay."

Now, the empty vault does not see even a shadow of gold, except for all kinds of strange treasures and dark magic items that are known to be very evil at first glance.

"Pull the ring?!"

"We can't reveal customer secrets, but it doesn't seem like something to hide. "This vault was opened thirteen years ago, and at the behest of its then owner, Mrs. Walburga Black, we sent all the gold and valuables to be transferred to the personal vaults of Mrs. Bellatrix Lestrange and Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy. There was so much gold that we were busy for two days. ”

Hearing the description of the pull ring, Evan could imagine the scene at that time.

The elves lined up in a row, moving in and out of the Black family's vault, their arms full of gold, transported to their personal vaults above by small carts.

"Not surprisingly, after the death of Regulus, my dear old mother made a redistribution of the family's property. Sirius said mockingly, "My two cousins have a share in each of them, one of them is married to a Death Eater, and the other is the craziest Death Eater in her own right, and my mother must be proud of them." Not surprisingly, I should have guessed that she would do it, and she certainly didn't want to leave anything to me. ”

Sirius walked over to a skull and kicked it aside.

Cracked, ancient skulls rolled on the ground with an uncomfortable, gurgling, gurgling sound all the way to the dimly lit corners of the room.

Aven, Harry, and Hermione glanced at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

As if noticing that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, Sirius immediately looked up and said, "Alright, you three don't hang your heads, no one cares about the gold, we're here to look for the deed." If I want to see it, they should still be here. ”

He went over to a cupboard and rummaged through it, and Evan hurried over to help.

Sirius was right, everything that looked dangerous and anything that clearly bore the Black family emblem was left here and didn't move.

In addition to the absence of gold, there is a lot of mess.

There are a lot of simply quirky ornaments that belong to the personal collections of former Black family members. There are also quite a few items that have magical powers, and Aven even feels a powerful magical reaction from several items. Unfortunately, most of the items here are dark magic items, and it is impossible to take them out and use them.

In front of a spacious, dark red stone platform, Evan saw a simple card.

The card shows that all the items on the table belong to Artus Black, and Evan remembers the Black family tree he had seen yesterday, this guy was Sirius' great-grandfather, a figure who lived about three or four years ago.

On the stone platform, the most striking thing is a cushion in a glass box, in which is a dull glass eyeball, stained with blood.

It looks like it's been pulled out of someone's eyes alive.

There are various bones on the inside of the stone platform, most of which are the bones of magical creatures, but there are also many that you can tell by looking at the shape that they are human bones.

There could be no deed on it, and Evan stepped over to open another closed cabinet.

Covered in a thick layer of dust, he saw dozens of large glass bottles filled with an unknown liquid of yellow, green liquid.

Evan narrowed his eyes and leaned forward, curiously observing.

The nearest glass bottle contained a gray snake with a very slender body, the size of a thick thread. It bends at an eerie angle, similar to the fiery snake in the book.

The Fire Ash Serpent is a rare magical creature that is born out of magic.

When a demonic fire burns uncontrollably for a considerable period of time, the Fire Ash Serpent is created. It is a snake with a reddish glow in its eyes, a thin, grayish-white body that emerges from the flames and swims into the shadows of the surrounding dwellings.

Where the fire snake swam, it left a trail of ash.

It has a lifespan of only one hour, and during this hour, it will find a hidden place to lay its eggs, and then its body will be broken and turned to dust.

The eggs of the fiery snake are a dazzling red color and emit a scorching light.

If people don't find the eggs in time, they set the dwelling on fire in a matter of minutes. These eggs are so magical that they can be used as ingredients for powerful potions or swallowed whole to cure fever.

Because of the high requirements for flames, it is actually difficult for this snake to be born.

As for making a fire ash snake into a specimen and preserving it intact, it is even more impossible, except for the one in the bottle, Aven has not seen anything like it.

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

"Come here, I've found the deed!" she shouted.

Hermione pulled out a lot of yellow paper from a filing cabinet, densely covered with text, which was laborious to read, all grammar from a long time ago. At the back, there is the emblem of the Black family and the seal of the Ministry of Magic, which certifies that the law of incompatibility is valid.

"This is 6 Spider Tail Alley!" Hermione picked up the top deed and looked at it carefully, "I've never heard of this place, where is Spider Tail Alley?"

"On the north side of Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley, there is a large Muggle area in between. Sirius walked over and explained, "It's an old wizarding area, probably more than five hundred years old, because there are many dark wizards, and in recent decades it has become abandoned, and this house has no meaning. ”

Underneath this deed is the title deed to 12 Grimmauld Place. It belonged to the Black family thousands of years ago, and in addition to the house, it included a large area of land around it, and the deed bears the coat of arms of the Presbyterian Church, the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, and the Muggle kings of the time.

The fourth deed was a shop located on Tumbledown Lane, and each of the two deeds was interspersed with a long-term tenancy agreement.

One of them, No. 21 Tumbledown Lane, was leased to an old witch for forty years to sell things like poisoned apples and poisoned candles. As for No. 83, it was leased to the Manet family for a period of 100 years, and was used to sell the skins and heads of various magical creatures.

Further back, the fifth deed finally ended up at the shop on Diagon Lane, 36 Diagon Lane.

"36 Diagon Alley!" Hermione recalled, "it seems to be between the Bella Owl shop and the Ollivanders wand shop, there"

In Aven's memory, there was indeed a large house that had been idle for a long time.

If nothing else, it should be 36 Diagon Alley. The location isn't the best, but there's a lot of traffic around. Especially when school is about to start every year, many young wizards have to buy wands or buy an owl as a pet.

It's a great place to be the newspaper's headquarters, and if it's big enough, the ground floor can be used to sell things like Weasley jokes.

In the filing cabinet, the last deed is the Black family's manor in the countryside, which covers a very large area, and there seems to be a deserted castle on it. (To be continued.) )
