Hogwarts Asylum

At 07:30 in the evening, Eurolin stood silently in front of the fireplace holding a suitcase. Behind him was Catherine holding a birdcage in her hand.

In fact, the real conversation between Orolin and Lucius ended in less than 10 minutes, because Lucius had no idea what the Black Book was, let alone where it came from.

According to Lucius, the package he mailed to Orolin only contained Voldemort's notebook and a letter stating the origin of the notebook, and he swore that the black book was definitely not from his hand.

The reason why he mailed Voldemort's notebook to Hogwarts was because Draco had now become Orolin's alchemy apprentice, and the position of the Malfoy family had to change accordingly. In addition, the Ministry of Magic had recently been There were rumors that a large-scale search for dark magic items was about to be carried out, so Lucius simply gave the notebook to Oluolin for study. He felt that Oluolin might be able to research some useful magic from the notebook.

Olorin could tell that Lucius's real intention was to avoid the limelight, and the other reasons were just excuses added later. But what he said that there was only a notebook and a letter in the package was indeed true, and he was not lying.

So the question is, not to mention that O'Loughlin didn't see the letter in the package, how did the black book appear in the package?

What happened between the time Lucius sent the package and the time Eurolin received it?

This problem may be difficult to solve, but it is not difficult at all. All we need to do is call in the little eagle owl that the Malfoys use to deliver letters and let Eurolin investigate.

But here's the problem. After delivering the letter to Draco in the morning, the little eagle owl has not come back yet. It may have been left to play by Draco.

So after realizing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, Eurolin stood up and left neatly after Lucius's efforts to persuade him to stay.

There is no point in staying any longer. Instead of discussing with Lucius the future sales of alchemical items, it is better to go and see other pure-blood families who have also invited themselves. These pure-blood families are unusual and may have something to do with the Black Book.

Especially the Nott family, which has always been at odds with Orolin, is very suspicious.

In the living room of Malfoy Manor, Eurolin looked at Catherine and the sluggish Saruman in the birdcage in her hand and said: "Take Saruman back to Hogwarts first..."

According to O'Loughlin, he was planning to go to other places, so why was Catherine willing to go back first? Just when Catherine was about to refuse, O'Loughlin continued, "I'll give you an important task to find Della. Ke, see if there is a little eagle owl over there, if there is one, control it and wait for me to come back."

Hearing this, Catherine also became serious. She always liked "important tasks."

"What if not?" Catherine asked seriously.

"If not, then you..." Oluolin thought for a while. The next trip might be really dangerous and it is not suitable to take Catherine there, so he had to find something for her to do. "Go and find Atlac for me. Take some venom.”

"Venom?" Catherine nodded. Although she didn't know what Olorin wanted Venom for, it was important to think about it.

"That's it. This mission is very important. You have to go back quickly to prevent the owl from running away." O'Loughlin said. He had to let Catherine go first, lest Catherine hear his voice announcing his address and then find out that he was sent away. After that, he caught up with him blankly, "Do you remember the route back to Hogwarts?"

"Remember!" Catherine nodded heavily, then grabbed a handful of Floo powder and walked into the fireplace carrying the birdcage.

"Don't let Saruman out, let him reflect inside." Orolin reminded.

"understood--"

After giving the address of Hogsmeade, Catherine disappeared into the fireplace with Saruman as a burst of green flames burst out.

After Catherine left, O'Loughlin also grabbed a handful of Floo powder and walked into the fireplace: "England, London, Isle of Dogs, No. 7 Peel Street."

When Oralin finally left, Lucius breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Lucius, is everything going well?" Although she was a little confused about Eurolin's mention of the little eagle owl, Narcissa was still more concerned with business.

"There is some misunderstanding here. It has been explained clearly, but the problem lies with Xiaodiao." Lucius walked to the sofa and slumped on it.

"Little Eagle? How could something go wrong with it?" Narcissa asked.

"When Xiaodiao was delivering a package to Orolin before, he might have been intercepted. Someone added something to the package I sent. That thing should be the culprit that made Orolin coma." Lucius explained.

"Then..." Narcissa was a little worried, because Draco liked the owl quite a bit, "Is the little eagle in danger?"

"How could the little owl be in danger?" Lucius didn't quite understand Narcissa's brain circuit. "The person who is in danger is the person who intercepts the owl. We have to spread the news that someone is secretly intercepting the owl."

With that said, Lucius looked out the window and murmured: "The magic world is going to be in chaos."

……

In Nott Manor, with a muffled sound, Eurolin's figure appeared in the dim living room. Different from the warm welcome in Malfoy Manor, there were only two people in Nott Manor to greet Eurolin - members of the Nott family. The old patriarch Vasos Nott, and Elliot Nott lying on a dirty wooden board.

At this time, Elliot Nott looked at Eurolin who appeared in the fireplace, his eyes full of hatred, but his hands and feet could no longer move, his mouth could not open and close to make a sound, and only a pair of eyes were left on his body. Tell something.

Under the dim light, O'Loughlin looked at old Nott, then at Elliot, and chuckled: "I didn't expect the Nott family's welcome ceremony to be so grand. What can I say? The Nott family invited me to come this time. Are you preparing to celebrate the completion of your new home?"

Olorin's words made the anger in Elliot's eyes burn even brighter, but he still couldn't do anything.

Old Nott's reaction was completely different from Elliot's. He just pointed to the sofa aside and said calmly: "After the manor was built, Mr. O'Loughlin was not invited to come as a guest, so this time, I will make up for it. Please take a seat."

After O'Loughlin sat down, he observed Old Nott with great interest. Although the surrounding lights were very dim, he could still see that there was no extra emotion other than calmness in Old Nott's cloudy eyes.

"Let's get straight to the point, Old Nott," O'Loughlin played with the teacup handed over by Old Nott, "Everyone knows that the Nott family and I can't be friends, so why do you want to invite me here this time?"

O'Loughlin was not puzzled that Old Nott did not invite him to the table for dinner. He thought that the vassals of the Malfoy family had already informed him before coming. People from these pure-blood families knew that he had had dinner, so they simply stopped pretending.

"I heard that Mr. O'Loughlin likes tea very much." Old Nott pointed at the teacup. "This is a batch of tea leaves sent as tribute to the Queen from Ceylon. It tastes pretty good."

Hearing Old Nott's words, O'Loughlin sneered in his heart. Old Nott was so calm that he made himself look like an impatient boy. Since Old Nott wanted to act, let's compare his acting skills.

Olorin raised the cup to his nose and smelled the aroma of the tea carefully. Then he looked at the tea soup. The not-so-bright lights around him made the tea soup more orange-red. He took a sip.

"Good tea, with an aroma like mint and lily of the valley reverberating in the mouth. The taste is mellow. Although it is slightly bitter, the sweet aftertaste makes people linger." Olorin praised it without hesitation. This tea is indeed worthy of tribute. Grade for a queen.

"Since Mr. O'Loughlin likes it, the future share of the Knott family's tea will be given to Mr. O'Loughlin." Old Nott said casually, as if giving a worthless gift.

"Then I'll thank you in advance." O'Luolin accepted happily. "I feel a little ashamed to say that I didn't even bring a gift."

As he said that, O'luolin seemed to suddenly think of something. He took out a piece of parchment from the box in his hand, and then took out a quill. After writing a line of words on the parchment, he placed the parchment on Lao Nuo. In front of special.

"This is the contact address of a friend of mine who works at the Institute of Parapsychology at the University of Edinburgh. I think that since Elliot has been separated from the Nott family, it would be a waste of your time and energy to take care of him. It’s better to let him use his remaining energy.”

O'Loughlin looked at Old Nott, whose face was gradually becoming stiff, and said with a smile, "Of course, if you find it too far, I also have the contact information of the Institute of Parapsychology at the University of Greenwich on the other side of the Thames River, but I want to come, Greenwich The University of Wyoming is less than one kilometer away from Knott Manor, so you should be familiar with it."

"I think Elliot should also be happy that he is paralyzed in bed and still has a good job to support himself, right, Elliot?" O'Loughlin looked at Elliot, But instead of being grateful, the hatred in his eyes only deepened.

"That's enough, Olorin." Old Nott finally couldn't help but stop him, "I invite you here this time because I have a business deal that I want to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Olorin looked at Old Nott with a half-smile, "Business? Aren't you afraid that I will cause trouble or swallow up your property?"

Old Nott ignored Olorin's provocation and asked, "I wonder if you have heard of the legend of the Kingdom of Gold?"

"The Kingdom of Gold?" O'Loughlin frowned. What kind of third-rate adventure movie is this? "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in the UK?

"Yes, the Golden Kingdom, it can also be called 'Dorado'." Old Nott calmed down.

"Dorado?" Eurolin was a little confused because Old Nott's pronunciation was weird, a bit like Latin.

“In the 16th century, the Spanish fleet once discovered an El Dorado in South America that was entirely made of gold and silver. They plundered that country, but when they were transporting the treasure to the country, they disappeared for half a year, and when they reappeared, they were It became a tattered pile of wood.”

Old Nott talked eloquently, "Some people say that it was because the priests of the Golden Kingdom used magic to recall the gold and destroyed the fleet. Some people said that it was the people of the fleet who deliberately took away the treasure in order to monopolize it. Transported to an uninhabited land, then driven back to sea to destroy the fleet.

"This legend is widely circulated among Muggles. It can be said that since the 16th century, many Muggles have been pursuing the so-called Golden Kingdom. However, at the beginning of this century, an expedition team found the ruins of the legendary Golden Kingdom. But there is very little gold there..."

Eurolin listened quietly to Old Nott's account, but to be honest, Eurolin was interested in this so-called Golden Kingdom, but not very interested. Moreover, when Old Nott talked about the Spanish fleet, the first thing that came to his mind was I thought of a Hispanic person I knew—Hydra Avery.

Orolin couldn't help but wonder, Hydra Avery wouldn't have invited him for this reason, rather than for some alchemy item transaction, right?

Finally, after Old Nott introduced the so-called Golden Kingdom, O'Loughlin said, "Why are you looking for me?"

Olorin didn't believe that Old Nott would be so kind as to share the news about the Golden Kingdom with him. If the Golden Kingdom really existed, it would be very shameful for these pure-blood families not to silence all the insiders and then keep it to themselves. normal.

"Because..." Old Nott took a sip of the cold tea, "The person who holds the specific information about the Golden Kingdom specifically wants you."

"Who?" Oluolin was a little curious, who was so brave.

"Hydra Avery," Old Nott said hoarsely.

"Haha." Orolin smiled, "Don't you know she also sent me an invitation letter? If I am interested in the Golden Kingdom, why should I cooperate with the Nott family?"

"Because you won't accept her conditions." Old Nott was quite calm.

"What conditions?"

"She wants you to marry her."

"???" Oluolin had a question mark on his face.

Seeing O'Loughlin's reaction, Old Nott smiled, very happily.

Olorin quickly calmed down and said: "Then I can also cooperate with the Malfoy family. You should know that I have a good relationship with the Malfoy family, and they are the richest ones in the magic world, right? ?"

"Malfoy? Haha..." Old Nott chuckled, as if he had heard a joke, "Avery will not cooperate with Malfoy."

"What? Don't you pure-blood families always like to stick together?" Olorin sneered. Of course he knew that these people only seemed to be united, but in fact they had their own agenda. If any family was weakened, they would be eager to attack together. In order to annex it and strengthen itself.

Old Nott ignored O'Loughlin's ridicule and said calmly: "Our Nott family is the oldest family in Britain, and no one is more suitable than us."

"Huh..." Olorin sneered at old Nott's words. The Nott family is like this. They always like to use some old history to talk about things. They seem to have a deep foundation, but in fact they are strong on the outside and weak on the inside.
