Hogwarts Asylum

In the living room of Nott's manor, O'Loughlin's face was hidden in the shadows, making Old Nott completely unable to see what he was thinking.

Under the dim light, Olorin used Legilimency several times on Old Nott, but found nothing. In other words, he saw clearly, but did not get any important information.

Old Nott just waited quietly, his eyes were very calm, as if what he said meant what he thought.

After a long time, Olorin finally broke the silence: "In the so-called Golden Kingdom, apart from gold, is there anything else worthy of your pursuit?"

"Isn't gold enough?" Old Nott smiled, the wrinkles on his face becoming clearer.

"If there is only gold, then I can't think of a reason to cooperate with you. After all, I am not short of money now. I think you should know how much money the Malfoy family has made from cooperating with me." Olorin lowered his eyes. , as if looking at the tea cup on the table.

"The Malfoy family's alchemy items business is indeed enviable." Old Nott's voice was hoarse, like an old crow, "However, even if the gold in the Golden Kingdom is divided into hundreds of parts, each part is enough to buy ten Malfoy. Fu family.”

"So what?" O'Loughlin smiled contemptuously, "Money, when it reaches a certain point, is just a number. Don't tell me that the Nott family, as the 'oldest' family in Britain, will still pursue money." , if so, it would make people laugh out loud."

The living room fell into silence, but not long after, Old Nott hesitated and murmured in a low voice: "The Supreme Heart and the Staff of Power."

"what?"

"It's the Supreme Heart and the Staff of Power," Old Nott's expression relaxed, giving people a sense of relief. "After receiving the news from the Golden Kingdom, we sent people to Spain and South America to explore..."

After Old Nott's introduction, Olorin understood what the Supreme Heart and the Staff of Power were.

It turns out that there are different opinions on the origins of the Heart of the Supreme and the Staff of Power. Some say that they were made by the God of Death, just like the legendary Three Hallows of Death. Others say that they were made by a God of Creation who is more powerful than the God of Death. , and it is also said that they were left behind after the death of a god.

But no matter what their origins are, the descriptions of the functions of these two things are surprisingly consistent. That is, those who have mastered the Supreme Heart will have the ability to control the human heart and even the soul at will, and those who have mastered the staff of power People will gain unparalleled power, and if someone can master these two things at the same time, then he will become an immortal and absolutely powerful human god.

This is very consistent with what villains who want to control the entire world pursue in third-rate movies, and it gives O'Loughlin a strong sense of unreality.

After all, in the original novel that Oluolin read in his previous life, there was no Golden Kingdom, let alone the Supreme Heart and the Staff of Power.

If there really is such a thing that can make people immortal, then Voldemort will dig deep to find them, just like he made Horcruxes and pursued the Philosopher's Stone.

Or is it that Voldemort in the original book didn't know the news until his death?But in this case, according to Old Nott, the news about the Golden Kingdom was first spread by Hydra Avery, so what caused her to spread the news in advance?

And, could it be a rumor?If it was a rumor, why would Hydra Avery make up such a rumor?

O'Loughlin suddenly became interested in Hydra. He had not taken much notice of Avery's invitation before. When he left Hogwarts this time, he only wanted to visit the Malfoy family and the Nott family, but now it seems that... I really need to take a trip to Avery Manor.

Although Hydra Avery is a bit wishful thinking, this woman who is three years younger than O'Loughlin may not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe, just like what O'Loughlin had guessed before, her husband was arrested for no reason, and then She died directly behind Azkaban.

In the living room, after telling the whole story, Old Nott calmly took a sip of black tea and asked, "How is it? Are you interested?"

"Interest? Of course," O'Loughlin raised his eyebrows. He did have some interest in this Golden Kingdom, but it was different from what Old Nott imagined. "But I have a question."

"Please say."

"According to you, there is only one set of Heart of the Supreme and Staff of Power. If you really find them, how will you divide them?" Olorin said in a teasing tone, "Of course, if you say that everyone depends on their own abilities, then I It’s also acceptable.”

"Of course not everyone depends on their abilities. That would be too unfair to you." Old Nott opened his eyes and said lies. In fact, he also knew that maybe even the members of the Nott family combined could not beat Olorin, but losing If you don't lose, you still have to save some face. "If we really find it, then we can make an unbreakable oath and we will take turns taking charge."

"Just the two of us?" O'Loughlin looked at old Nott with a half-smile. This old guy directly excluded the Avery family and other possible collaborators. It was really arrogant. Of course, what happened? Unfortunately, Old Nott also made this agreement when discussing cooperation with others.

"Just the two of us." Old Nott nodded heavily.

"Tsk..." O'Loughlin sighed with emotion. According to Old Nott, he was not prepared to die. Poor Theodore, he might have a chance to surpass Charles and become the longest-reigning heir.

"I have a general understanding of the matter. I'll go back and think about it." After saying that, Oluolin stood up and looked at Old Nott condescendingly, "Is it okay?"

"Of course it's no problem." Old Nott raised his head and gestured. He felt that this perspective was a bit uncomfortable, so he stood up slowly, but he could only look up at Orolin.

"Okay, I will email you the follow-up reply."

Oralin said casually, grabbed a handful of Floo powder and walked into the fireplace. However, although Oralin was going to visit Avery Manor, the address he reported was the public fireplace of Hogsmeade.

The reason why Eurolin directly reported the address of Nott Manor in Malfoy Manor was to give Lucius a slap in the face and make him realize that the Malfoy family was not his only choice, even if Draco became his The same goes for apprentices. After all, his excuse seemed quite reasonable, but sending the notebook directly to Hogwarts without notifying Orolin in advance was an oversight that he should not have made.

In Nott Manor, after Eurolin left, Old Nott looked at the fireplace and remained silent. After a long time, he walked up to Elliot, showing a row of neat white teeth, and chuckled, his shoulders Shaking and shaking, he laughed louder and louder, and became more hysterical, like an old madman.

If O'Loughlin was still here, he would have discovered that the way Elliot looked at old Nott was filled with stronger hatred than when he looked at him, mixed with a little fear. It didn't look like a son at all. He looked like a father should, but Old Nott's behavior at this time was even less like an old father.

……

When Eurolin passed the public fireplace in Hogsmeade and arrived at the door of Avery Manor at 74 Park Road, Birmingham, there was an explosion in the distance behind him, and the explosion was also mixed with the sound of police sirens. , it looks very clear in the empty manor.

O'Loughlin turned around and looked at the place where the explosion came from. He was a little curious. In his impression, as the second largest city in the UK and also known as a shopping paradise, Birmingham should have pretty good security. There were gun battles on the streets here. Not much, let alone a bombing.

Just as Oluolin was about to go and see the excitement, an enchanting voice sounded from behind him.

"Senior O'Loughlin?" Hydera, who had just sent several "Aurors" with suspects to the conference room, was a little surprised when she saw O'Loughlin.

Olorin turned around to look at the person who came, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Rabbi Hydra, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was even more radiant when he was in school.

At this time, Hydera was wearing a dark red tube top dress with half exposed shoulders. A necklace dotted with ten rubies and dozens of small diamonds on her chest shone brightly under the light, and her long ruby ​​earrings followed. Her calm steps moved slowly, making her skin look like gelatin.

"Good evening, Mrs. Avery." O'Loughlin gave a gentlemanly salute.

"Good evening, Mr. Olorin." Hyderana, wearing a gemstone ring, stretched out her soft and boneless right hand to Olorin.

Olorin gave a symbolic kiss on the hand. The smell of rose perfume from his fingertips made Olorin's nose feel a little itchy. After finishing the polite etiquette, Olorin stood up and asked: "Something seems to have happened outside. Question, does the Everly family know?”

"Oh, yes, something happened, but people from the Ministry of Magic are already working on solving it." Hydera's enchanting voice echoed in Orolin's ears, making Orolin's ears itch.

"Don't think about those boring things, please come in, Mr. O'Loughlin." With that, Hydera led O'Loughlin into the manor villa.

When you walk into the door, what you see is a gorgeous hall that is no less inferior to Malfoy Manor. However, unlike the Malfoy family who likes to decorate it with gold, it is dotted with gems everywhere, and the same wealth is compelling.

However, I don’t know why. Although the decorations are different, Eurolin always feels that the decoration style here is a bit familiar, somewhat similar to Malfoy Manor. Although the Knott Manor just now is dim, the decoration there is also very similar to these two manors. Similar, as if they were made by the same person.

These pure-blood families wouldn't even hire the same person for decoration, right?

Hydera was very satisfied when she saw Orolin's reaction as he looked at the surrounding decorations with dull eyes.

"These gems are just a small part of my inventory. If you like, they can be yours."

Hydra's sudden straight ball caught Oluolin off guard. Although he was not familiar with Hydra when he was in school, he remembered that Hydra was relatively reserved at that time. Why now...

O'Loughlin decided to pretend he hadn't heard.

Hydera, who received no response, curled her lips secretly, stopped serving, and instead began to introduce the origin of each gem here.

As the footsteps moved, Hydera led Orolin into a long corridor paved with a layer of luminous pearls. When passing a room, Orolin vaguely heard a cry, and the sound seemed a little... Familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Hydera seemed to have heard the cry. She turned around and explained: "I heard that what happened outside was caused by a group of dark wizards who wanted to break the secrecy law. Because the incident happened suddenly, the Aurors did not prepare the place for the interrogation in advance. , so the conference room on the first floor was lent to them.”

Olorin nodded and said nothing. He was still thinking about when and where he heard that voice.

Walking through the corridor, the two came to a more gorgeous living room.

After both sat down, Hydra clapped her hands gently, and a bizarre house elf wearing well-fitting clothes, with big aqua eyes, a big head, a small body, and two pointed and long ears appeared on the table. side.

"Bingbing is at your service, my master." The house elf put one hand on his chest and one behind his back, bending his waist at 90 degrees.

"Tell those Aurors to keep their voices down so as not to disturb our guests." Hydra said calmly.

"Yes, my master."

After the house elves left, Hydra set about making tea.

"I heard that Mr. O'Loughlin likes tea very much." Hydera asked while operating the teapot, which seemed to be quite skillful. "This is a special tribute from Ceylon. Please forgive me for the poor reception."

On the sofa, Ou Luolin complained a little. These pure-blood families really caught the Queen. I heard that the annual output of tribute-grade tea in Ceylon was not high. When the Queen got it, there was only one left. Small box.

However, despite all the slander, Oluolin still pretended to be surprised: "Really? Then I have to have a good taste."

In the conference room, the bearded man grabbed a girl's hair and asked: "Tell me! How many of you are there? Where are they all? What is the real purpose?"

"I don't know... I don't know..." The girl was distracted and muttered repeatedly.

"This one is no longer available. How are you doing there?" The bearded man let go of his hair and was about to spit when he suddenly remembered that he was not at his own venue.

"Captain, there is no one to explain." A young man came over.

"Hmph." The bearded man was a little angry, "These dark wizards are so tough-talking. Why haven't the people who went back to get the veritaserum come back yet? If we don't find out the mastermind tonight, none of us will be safe."

"It should be soon." The young man shrugged, looked at the girl slumped in the chair, and hesitated: "Captain, she doesn't look like a dark wizard, and her companion."

"What?" The bearded man glared, "Do you really believe what they said? The Halloween parade was yesterday, not today! Dark wizards will try their best to corrupt your minds, learn from it, it all costs your life Gained experience.”

"What if..." The young man still hesitated, "What if they are really Muggles... After all, neither of them tried to use magic to resist from the beginning to the end..."

Seeing the beard blowing and blowing his beard and staring, the young man quickly retorted to himself, "No, this must be a disguise..."

"It's good to know! When dealing with dark wizards, you should rather kill the wrong ones than let them go!" Bearded said, "Even if they are really Muggles, the worst thing is to cure them and then use the Forgetting Curse to get rid of them. "
