Chapter 50 Relics

Regulus knew that mask all too well.

Every Death Eater has his own unique mask.

Within the Death Eaters, they can be distinguished from each other by patterns and styles, but others cannot tell who is who.

One of the masks hanging on the wall at this time was exactly what Regulus himself wore back then.

According to Kreacher, after his "death", Walburga and Orion held a simple funeral.

And this mask was buried in the tomb at that time.

Regulus really didn't expect to see his "relics" in Borgin-Bock's shop again.

As for the two names Mr. Borgin mentioned, who was Willy Widdershin, Regulus didn't know who he was, but Scabior, he had heard of it.

That was a young hooligan who used to hang out with Fenrir Greyback.Because he was of ordinary origin and had poor magical power, he was unable to become a Death Eater.

Moreover, Scabior was more interested in doing things that could make money than being loyal to Voldemort. Stealing, robbery, and abduction were not a problem.

By now, it seems obvious.

Because of the decline of the Black family, no one cared about those sleeping in the cemetery, so Scabior, who was short of money and greedy for money, dug up Regulus' tomb, trying to find some valuable objects, and this mask happened to be Looks quite valuable.

"Scabior and...whoever he is, have you seen them lately?" Regulus asked Borgin.

"I haven't seen them for two weeks, but who cares about them? The Aurors are all hunting Sirius Black, no one cares where a few thieves are hiding." Borgin's voice returned to his greasy tone. . "Sir, are you interested in buying them? Only ten galleons..."

"Not interested in."

Regulus turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes were caught by something else.

"What is that?" He pointed to the top shelf of the display cabinet in the corner. Under the dim light, only a faint red reflection could be seen.

Borgin followed his hand and pointed toward the corner, and soon discovered what Regulus was pointing at, and hurriedly said: "We only collect that thing, it is a fake..."

"Would you mind taking it down and taking a look?" Regulus interrupted Borgin's ramblings.

Considering that Regulus was generous, Borgin finally removed the thing.

It was a silver sword with a dove egg-sized ruby ​​inlaid on the hilt, which was the source of the red light just now.

"Godric Gryffindor..." Regulus read the name engraved on the blade of the sword softly.

"That's right, this sword is a copy of the legendary wizard Gryffindor's sword from thousands of years ago." Bo Jin said with some regret in his voice, "Human silversmiths can only imitate so much. It has its form but not its spirit.”

"tell me the story."

"The real sword is said to have been made by the goblin king Ragnak I, the silversmith with the most exquisite memory among the goblins. It has many powerful effects. Gryffindor is invincible with this sword." Bo Jin said turbidly. There was longing in his eyes, as if he could see the glory of the original sword through this fake sword.

"It surprises me that you haven't been able to get this sword in your pocket after all these years." Regulus looked very interested.

In fact, the real way for the Borgin-Bock store to make money is by reselling these valuable collections.

After all, those products of black magic are all things that cannot be put on the table, and any of these relics of ancient wizards is priceless.

"We did try. In fact, the four founders of Hogwarts each left their own relics." Borgin simply took out a yellowed book and spread it out on the counter.

Regulus tilted his head and looked at the contents of the booklet, and found that on the open page, there was a drawing of a sword, and there were a lot of notes in different handwriting next to it.

"These notes can be traced back to my great-great-grandfather's generation. However, there is no clue. Gryffindor's sword disappeared together with him." Borgin said with a wry smile.

He turned another page. The pattern on it was an exquisite headdress. The top relief was the head of an eagle. The huge sapphire in the middle was the body of the eagle, with silver wings inlaid with gems stretching out to the left and right.

"The crown of Rowena Ravenclaw, like the sword of Gryffindor, has not been seen for centuries." Borgin pointed to a line of small words on the crown pattern and said, "It is said that this crown was worn by Ravenclaw. Crow himself cast the magic to increase the wearer's intelligence."

Regulus stared at the words: Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.

"The previous two pieces exist more in legends, and the remaining two pieces..." Bo Jin turned to the next page. The picture above was a small gold cup with a delicate ear handle, and there were Badger carving.

"Hufflepuff." Regulus recognized the obvious feature.

"Yes, Hufflepuff's golden cup is said to have been kept by a distant descendant of Hufflepuff. We will tell the story of this golden cup later." Then, Borgin turned the book to the last page. The difference from before was that it was not a hand-drawn picture, but a photo.

The things in the photo were very familiar to Regulus.

"Speaking of this, we made a stupid mistake and kept it in our hands for 18 years." Bo Jin said regretfully, "We knew this thing was valuable, but it wasn't until someone bought it for an unimaginably high price that we Then I realized that it was a relic of Salazar Slytherin, and it was one of the things we had been looking for."

"Who bought it?" Regulus asked immediately.

"It's the distant descendant of Hufflepuff that I mentioned before. She is very rich. We want to buy the locket back, but she doesn't reply to our letters at all, no matter how much money we pay." Borgin said disappointedly. .

"what a pity."

"Later, she died, poisoned by her own house elf. She was really pitiful." There was no mercy in Borgin's tone. "According to her family, when they were counting the relics, they found two very valuable items. Things were lost. They didn't announce the two treasures to the public, but we know that one of them is the locket, and since the other one is comparable to the locket, it is probably Hufflepuff's golden cup. Since then , these two treasures will never disappear again.”

After saying that, Bo Jin closed the book, stuffed it back under the counter, and put the fake sword back in its place.

"Wonderful story, Mr. Borgin. I believe this trip is well worth it." Regulus stood up and said, "It's getting late, so I won't interrupt you anymore. I'll take my leave."

Borgin stood at the door of the store, bowed and sent Regulus out of the store.

When he closed the door and walked back into the back room, he felt something was wrong.

"I... seem to have talked too much today."

When he went out again, the guest from before was gone.

A dozen streets away, Regulus put the music box into the inner pocket of his coat, stood on the side of the road, and raised his wand.
