Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"So you must have agreed to take the risk with me, I knew it would be like this!" Aiwen said with a smile, while recording the magic runes on the mirror, "Come on, do what the other party said first, and see if it is in the mirror." plotting some kind of conspiracy."

"This feeling reminds me of adventures with James in the past, but we are only around Hogwarts, and once I get home from the summer vacation, I have to settle down according to my mother's wishes." Sirius said, Looking around, "Well, I suggest that you search the house from top to bottom to see if there are any missing clues before going downstairs to get the blood from the house elf. Let's start here, let me see How good are those French Aurors!"

Not long ago, when the French Aurors came here to investigate the murders, they searched this room. They took everything of value, and now there is nothing in the room except a large bed and a wardrobe inside.

But Sirius was obviously more experienced in this area, and he walked towards the big bed, searching every place carefully.

About 5 minutes later, Ivan had just finished recording the rune on the mirror when he heard Sirius shout, "Those guys are really of average level, Ivan, come and have a look..."

Ivan walked over and saw that Sirius lifted the wallpaper behind the big bed, and there were rows of ancient characters carved on the wall.

"This is in French. It should have been left by the previous owner of this room. It may be helpful to us." He looked at the words carefully and whispered, "In the dark castle of the family, I heard it The whisper, the whisper from the abyss, it echoes in my ears, it tells me that the eternal night is coming..."

"In the dark, it watched me quietly, and the claws of fate grabbed those unbelievers tightly. I heard it say to me, what you have done is meaningless, sad inferior god, chaos, Chaos, chaos..."

"Listen, listen, listen, it desires to kill, and everything will end in chaos..."

"After a painful struggle, I know the ultimate fate of this fragile world. I don't want to die, I want to become stronger, I listened to the persuasion of this voice, I threw myself into the arms of my master, and became a slave Corrupted believers..."

"Starting today, I will give up my mortal body, come, nightmare in the dark, come with me, devour soul and flesh one by one, I will give my all to the master, I will embrace death, I will Rebirth...is over, your fate, and I will be the only survivor."

After reading the words on the wall, there was a moment of silence, and Sirius frowned at the words.

"What's this, like a madman talking to himself!" he whispered. "I see what it means, except it's very uncomfortable."

"Yeah, it's really uncomfortable." Ivan agreed, thinking of the terrible evil god.

In the acromantula's lair, did that eyeball monster say something similar to himself...

The writing on the wall looks a bit like the whisper of an evil god, but it's a little different.

The man who carved it on the wall, whoever he was, apparently had some kind of physical change in the end.

If what he heard was the whisper of the evil god, it shouldn't have turned into this kind of result, but was directly swallowed up.

Since it's not an evil god, could it be a demon? !

The demon that Ariana mentioned is a witch from Africa!

Ivan walked over and helped Sirius remove all the wallpapers in the room.

Right above the bed, they found some new clues, but this time they were not words, but some pictures...

"It's that owl monster!" Ivan whispered, and he recognized what was on it just by looking at it.

It seems to be an evil magical process that transforms a normal person step by step into a terrifying owlman.

"Forget about the incomprehensible words, if the pattern on it is a magic, why does it appear here?" Sirius said slowly, "This is obviously the victim's room, and the previous owner was just killed by the owl man." killed, but the magic that turned into an owl monster appeared above her bed."

"So, she was not as simple as being murdered. The guy named Mary may have voluntarily." Ivan said, a creepy feeling rose in his heart, "These things are left by her, she is the one Owlman..."

"Okay, gentlemen, the party should be over!" At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, "I am an Auror from the Ministry of Magic, and you two have been arrested for breaking into a private house! The wand in my hand Put it down, it's best not to play tricks, or you will know the consequences."

Alvin and Sirius turned their heads and saw a young witch standing at the door of the room, pointing at them with a wand.

She was about twenty-five or six years old, with short hair, a pale heart-shaped face, and shiny black eyes.

She rolled up the hem of her robe, looking very capable.

To be honest, if one ignores the weird attire, the witch actually looks pretty.

Chapter 742 Elena Lorraine

Of course, it would be even better if she didn't point her wand at Alvin and Sirius!

"In the middle of the night, what are you trying to do when you break into this big empty house illegally, thief?!" The witch raised her pointed chin and looked at Aiwen and Sirius, "There are indeed many valuable antiques here. Get a good price."

"we do not have……"

"Don't lie to me, I saw the seal being torn downstairs, the house is being monitored by the Ministry of Magic."

"We have been in for more than half an hour, and you just rushed over. If this is what you call surveillance, then it is really funny." Sirius said disdainfully, "I know that the quality of French Aurors is very poor. But I didn’t expect it to be so bad.”

"That's because we are short-staffed in Dijon, and I am the only one in charge of this case." The witch blushed, a little embarrassed, but then she stared back forcefully, "Sir, you are questioning the French Ministry of Magic and the proud Before Luo's performance, please put yourself in the right place, you haven't cleared your suspicions yet."

"We have no suspicions!"

"Really?!" The witch squinted her eyes and looked at Sirius with great interest. "You may not know that there was a shocking murder here not long ago. In this room, look at the wall. The bloodstains... Ah, I just noticed that you took the wallpaper off, what are you doing, destroying the evidence?"

"We're looking for clues!" said Sirius impatiently. "Looking for clues that you haven't noticed."

"So, you just tore down the house, and I don't see how that would help the case."

"Look what's up here, if you can still see," Sirius said, pointing to the carved wall.

"What, a child's graffiti?!" The witch muttered, looking at the pattern on the wall in doubt, and then raised her voice, "Thank you for reminding me, I will see it later, but now, I repeat, You two got arrested for breaking into this house, throw your wands on the ground, crouch down with your heads in your hands, and I'll take you where you're supposed to go. Otherwise, I don't mind a little toughness."

"Listen, we have no malicious intentions, and things are not as you imagined, we are not thieves." Sirius took a deep breath.

He maintained a certain restraint, perhaps because the other party was a French Auror and a woman.

"It really doesn't look like it. This child is too young. The semester should not be over yet, right?!" The witch glanced at Ivan, then turned back to Sirius, "So, you are the school teacher? I I heard that Madame Maxime took some students to Hogwarts because of the Triwizard Tournament."

"I'm a student at Hogwarts. The Triwizard Tournament you mentioned was canceled because Voldemort came back. We are doing something very important for Dumbledore now. Madam Maxime is with us. Ai Wen said, "She was waiting for us at the hotel. Not long ago, I was attacked by a terrible owl man, and we came to this place after tracking the enemy."

"Mysterious man, Dumbledore?!" The witch froze for a moment before realizing what Ivan was talking about, "Little guy, you said that Madame Maxime is also here, and she came to Dijon? No, you just mentioned the owl Man, where is it? Well, you answer the first question first."

This woman couldn't grasp the point at all, and she seemed not sure what to ask Ivan.

"We can sit down and talk and tell you all we know, provided you put your wand down."

There was a moment of silence, the female Auror looked obviously hesitant, then shook her head.

"Forget it, after disarming you, we have plenty of time to talk." She said slowly, as if she was very worried about Sirius, "I took the first class after becoming an Auror seven years ago. , the teacher told me not to trust strangers casually, not to put down your magic wand, and never let your guard down!"

"This sounds a lot like what Professor Moody said..." Ivan said.

"You mean Mad-Eye Moody?!" The witch said, "He is the teacher of that class, the Auror training jointly organized by the magic circles of Britain, France and Germany. Moody is a very powerful Auror. I Learned a lot from him.”

"Yeah, he's the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts now." Ivan said, winking at Sirius. The guy on the other side was too stubborn, and they didn't have time to delay here.

According to the plan, Aiwen will also go to the Owl Fort outside the city to see the curse of the past, instead of being questioned by a female Auror here, especially since it seems to have no end.

"Since you are Moody's student, you are one of your own. We are going to track down the owl man and find out the secret behind this matter. If you want, you can follow!" Aiwen said, walking forward took a step.

"Well, it's an Auror thing, we're trained," she said, "you just tell me what you know."

"After we finish this matter, we will tell you the result. If we are lucky, we will bring you back the corpse of that monster." Sirius said, "Now, please step aside, we are leaving here, and there are many more Things are waiting for us to do. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Wait, what are you trying to do, stop!" the witch shouted loudly, looking at Sirius who rushed towards him, "Damn it, fainted!"

The red magic light flew towards him, and Sirius quickly flashed to the right to avoid the spell.

"Expelliarmus!" he yelled, swishing spells with his wand.

The next second, Sirius' disarming spell hit her, and his wand flew high and landed in his hand.

"Very well, you won. You openly attacked the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Next, what are you going to do?" Although she didn't have a wand, the witch didn't feel weak. Instead, she stared at Sirius with her beautiful eyes wide open, panting Say, "Prison me here..."

"I don't have that taste!" said Sirius, throwing back his wand. "I did it just to prove that you alone can't stop us. Now, please get out of the way, and don't delay our pursuit of that owl." monster."

The witch took the wand, stood there looking at Ivan and Sirius for a while, then came over and held out her hand.

"Well, since our goals are the same, I decide to join you! Let's get to know each other again, my name is Elena Lorraine."

Chapter 743 The Eerie Castle

"This guy is a trouble, you shouldn't agree to let her join!" Sirius whispered to Ivan.

At this time, they had just finished searching the room and were walking down the stairs.

"I know, but she is also an Auror of the French Ministry of Magic. If you don't let her follow you, what are you planning to do, tie her here? Or knock her out and throw her on that bed? You don't really have that hobby, do you? "Aiwen asked back, looking at Sirius, "When the owl monster is caught, she will have to deal with the follow-up troubles."

"Okay, but if she's holding back, I suggest it's best to..."

"Gentlemen, whispering is not the demeanor that a gentleman should have. Since we are in a cooperative relationship now, we should..." Elena paused, trying to find a word, "Yes, we should treat each other honestly, and we should treat each other honestly. No reservations. Are you two from England? What's your name?"

"Yes, we are from England, and my name is Ivan Mason." Ivan said, "This is Sirius Black."

"Oh my God, Sirius Black, I've heard your name and those stories." Irina said in surprise, looking at Sirius in disbelief, "You really are in Azka for a trumped-up charge. 13 years in class?!"

The atmosphere was a bit dull, this was a topic Sirius didn't want to mention, he didn't answer, but Elena continued on.

"I'm your admirer, I bought all the articles about you in the market, the things you did for your friend James Potter and his son Harry, tracking down the Death Eater, and Go to Azkaban to make amends." Elena said, looking at Sirius, "How to say, I think these actions are very noble and courageous, ordinary people can't do it, you..."

"I'm not as noble as you say, because my stupidity caused the deaths of James and Lily, and I deserved those things later." Sirius said, "Now please shut up and keep quiet, you affect Me!"

"Has he always been this scary?" Elena whispered to Ivan, distanced herself from Sirius.

"He's not like this usually, maybe he's not good at dealing with girls." Aiwen said, changing the subject, "Miss Lorraine, have you found anything from the Aurors about this case? Why are you alone? exist?"

"Don't mention it, the ministry doesn't pay much attention to this matter at all. They put all their energy on Paris, not a small city like Dijon. I'm the only one who insisted on investigating." Elena said, "This It's a complicated case, and I think it's an opportunity to prove myself, which I don't have in Paris. I've searched the house before you came, and I've found something really remarkable."

"What is it?"

"Well, how should I put it, Mary, the last owner of this house, seems to have a unique hobby. I found hundreds of dead cat heads in the storage room downstairs, and they were all skinned and thrown there..."

Hundreds of bloody owl carcasses piled up in a small room, this is really a purgatory scene.

This further confirmed Ivan's guess that the black magic he saw on the wall had this process.

The owner of this house, Mary, may be the owl monster, who killed herself, gave her life to the demon, and became a terrible monster, and the owls were her medium of choice.

Perhaps, she used magic to transplant the feathers stripped from them to herself one by one in the dark...

That being the case, the next step is the soul of the owl. There are many such things in the owl fortress outside the city.

Now the question is, where is that monster? !

And the woman Ariana who appeared in the mirror, what is her real purpose? !

In the darkness, the three of them returned to the first floor and came to the passage full of house elf heads.

"The woman who appeared in the mirror told you that someone hid something in these heads?" said Irina, who had just learned about it from Aiwen, "I didn't expect this, it looks terrible. It's disgusting."

"It's really disgusting!" Ivan nodded, looking at the dry heads of house elves and the ugly big noses on them.

He had to admit that hiding something in there was a brilliant idea.

Maybe he should go back under the Hogwarts kitchens and get a good look at those heads...

"When the house elves die, the habit of hanging their heads on the wall is said to have originated from the ancient Black family, and was later adopted by other pure-blood wizard families. It became popular in the European magic world and has continued to this day." Sirius said in a sarcastic tone, "It seems that one of my ancestors really made a great contribution to the development and progress of the magic world. One, two, three... The eighth from the left should be this guy."

It was a house elf with brown skin. It seemed to be sick and mutated. Its entire face was deformed, and many places even started to rot. It was staring at the front with big light bulb-like eyes.

Like a leper, it looks particularly uncomfortable.

"Let me do this kind of dirty work!" said Sirius, stepped forward to open its mouth, and looked inside.

Jelena looked at Sirius with a half-surprised, half-admired expression, watching him put his hand inside the house-elf's mouth and take out a canister filled with dark red blood in a sticky liquid that looked like oil. Pass the vial to Ivan.

Ai Wen opened the bottle and smelled it, and there was a strong smell of blood.

He wasn't a vampire, so he couldn't tell if it was the blood of unicorns, white lions, and phoenixes, or something else.

But this is not important, since this thing is in hand, there are no valuable clues in this house.

Aiwen discussed with Sirius and Elena, and the three of them directly Apparated to the Owl Fortress outside the city.

As soon as he appeared, Ivan saw a huge, eerie black silhouette appearing above the distant river valley.

This is a huge castle, the whole body is built with dark brown stones, looking down like a giant beast.

Unlike Hogwarts, this castle was built on the hillside, making full use of the terrain to carve an indestructible military fortress.

At this moment, the surroundings of the castle were desolate, deathly silent, and there was nothing on the ground except black stones.

Chapter 744 Owl Ghost

The light from the three magic wands, insignificant in the endless darkness, engulfed them in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until Aiwen's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness that he could clearly see the huge black fortress that appeared in front of him.

In this place called the Owl Fortress, the tall and majestic granite buildings stand quietly on the cliffs above the river valley, looking down on the visitors with a majestic posture, as if they are crumbling.The original builders of the castle deliberately chose such a precipitous place, and used magic to blend the entire fortress with the cliff.

This is simply a miracle, and everyone who saw it was moved.

Undoubtedly, while such a miracle is shocking, it also produces inexplicable awe from the bottom of my heart.

The huge fortress was magically fortified, with a towering central spire, oddly windowless.

The walls are covered with strange vines, they are tightly entwined, intertwined with huge stones, forming the main outline of the castle.
