Chapter 761 Tomb Raider (seeking monthly ticket recommendation)
However, after Hogg left a row of oil-stained footprints, Harry found a pair of living objects suddenly appeared next to him.
It was a magic broom and a magic mop. They bounced to the footprints behind Hogg, and then dutifully cleaned up the stains on the carpet. Even after cleaning for a while, the two were very anthropomorphic. Pause to catch your breath.
To be honest, if they were not in human form, Harry would have thought they were two real people.
Objects with living characteristics like this are not uncommon in castles. Magic rags that know how to wipe furniture actively, and vertical clocks that greet people when they pass by.
He even found a bunch of teapots and teacups chatting and farting together. After they found Harry approaching, they immediately stopped and pretended to stand up again, like employees who were caught fishing.
All the magical objects around made Harry feel the wonder of magic and the power of Anduin more truly. It is not that he has never seen a magic device that can operate automatically, but it does not have the breath of life like the items in the castle. .
For a moment, Harry felt that the castle under his feet was no longer just a building, but a miniature city.
"Hogg, why do all the things here seem to be alive?" Harry couldn't help his curiosity, and took the initiative to move closer to Hogg's side, "It's like that tea set, they are still lazy."
"Ha, there's nothing to make a fuss about. You'll get used to it after you've been here for a long time. My lord likes to do some weird research when he has nothing to do. To put it bluntly, these are all his experiments."
Hogg laughed, and then couldn't help muttering, "But you remember to stay away from those talking appliances, they have a lot of ghostly thoughts, and besides knowing how to steal and play tricks, they also like to play tricks on people, like the one just now. A tea set, if people who are not familiar with it drink tea with them, their noses will be bitten if they are not careful, don’t ask me how I know.”
After muttering and complaining for a while, Hogg snapped open a door, and said from Harry, "Here, this is your room, how is it? The environment is good, right?"
Hearing this, Harry walked into the back room and looked around, his eyes lit up immediately. This room is not only in a good environment, it can be called luxurious.
The room is not only very large in size, but also equipped with an independent washroom, bathroom and cloakroom. The brand-new desk, sofa, bed and wardrobe are all made of high-quality solid wood, and are decorated with various decorations. Alchemy baubles and decorations.
There is also a huge floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the room, and there is a set of exquisite tables and chairs on the balcony outside. Standing on the balcony and looking out, the entire Godric's Valley can be easily included in the bunker.
"Phew!" Harry stood on the balcony and took a deep breath. What he saw in front of him made him feel like he was dreaming. A year ago, he was still living in a closed corridor compartment, but now he has a dream room. .
And when he turned around, he found that Hogg had opened the cloakroom in the house, and waved to him non-stop, "Harry, I randomly ordered dozens of sets of clothes for you according to the size at the final physical examination, and the styles may be different." It's old, but you can wear it now, and we'll buy new ones when we get to France."
After seeing the dazzling array of clothes in the independent cloakroom, Harry suddenly couldn't help swallowing, "There's no need to be so grand, I still have a lot of my own clothes."
"You still have the guts to keep wearing those rags?" Hogg gave him a blank look, "Remember, we need everything, except money! From now on, you have to learn to enjoy life like a gentleman. Thank you, Mr. Hogg. Learn!"
After being reprimanded like this, Harry suddenly felt that Hogg's aggressive face was not as annoying as before.
In this way, from this day on, Harry officially became a member of the Anduin family, and in the next few days, he gradually integrated into this big family.
At the same time, other family members in the castle are also very interesting, such as Anduin's secretary, the vampire Shalltear with a bad personality, the butler in the castle, Kiki with a good temper, and the lively Thunderbird Sol, and the greedy Eat the Phoenix Irene who eats herself into a ball.
But Anduin is usually very busy, every day the dragon sees the beginning and the end, so Harry always hangs out with this group of people.
But after staying with them for a long time, Harry always felt that his life always had a strange style.
Like Qiqi, her greatest pleasure is cooking. Every day, no matter whether it is a meal or not, she will make a bunch of delicacies to fill the table. At this time, Saul and Irene will very actively run over to show off the meals. Pull Harry along.
As a result, under the eight meals a day, Harry felt as if he was swollen in a few days. Now he finally understands why Hogg always has snacks in his mouth at any time. The atmosphere is really good. ,can not stop at all.
And after getting in touch with Shalltear for a long time, he discovered that this vampire has a strange aesthetic, and he likes to share it with others. Harry is always drawn by her to be a model to test her new works.
But that's all women's clothing!
But under the pressure of Shalltear's iron fist, Harry had no room to resist, which made him wonder for a while whether it was a good thing to enter this big family.
In addition, apart from being bullied by Shalltear, Harry's most important task every day is training, and the training is under the supervision of Hogg, which is more intensive.
Anyway, during the first week of living in the castle, Harry himself felt both pain and happiness.
Anduin on the other side, in the past few days, has not been as busy as other people imagined in the Silver Flash Trading Company, let alone doing research work, but visited the history of magic who also lived in Godric's Hollow. Bathilda Bagshot.
This Mrs. Bagshot was very old, over a hundred years old at this time, and she welcomed Anduin's visit very much.
After all, in this era, there are only a few people in the wizarding world who don't know Anduin, and Bagshot is very fond of the novel magic of Silver Flash Trading Company.
And when Anduin proposed to consult historical materials about the Deathly Hallows, she did not show any rejection. As a former historian, Bagshot was still open to popularizing and imparting knowledge to others.
But after these few days of browsing, Anduin didn't get any more results. Most of Bagshot's files are records of wizards who once held or were suspected of holding the Deathly Hallows.
As for the research records on the Deathly Hallows itself, there are very few records. After all, in these hundreds of years, no one has been able to truly collect the Deathly Hallows.
The invisibility cloak has been passed down in the Potter family, and the Resurrection Stone has been kept in the Gunter family for a long time. In the end, even people in this family no longer remember that they own this sacred artifact.
Only the Elder Wand, which has more records, is basically circulated among the brave and ruthless wizards, and it will change to a new owner almost every ten years.
Finding that it was impossible to collect more information from the data, Anduin could only rely on specific research on the real thing.
For this reason, he borrowed the invisibility cloak from Harry early, and at the same time, he returned to Hogwarts for a period of time every day, and studied the three Deathly Hallows with Dumbledore in the principal's office.
Gathering the three Deathly Hallows together may be the dream of countless wizards and scholars, but in Anduin, it did not take much effort.
And after conducting a comprehensive test on the three Hallows, Anduin finally determined that they were indeed related, and that the Deathly Hallows did have the possibility of combining.
But no matter how hard they tried, Anduin and Dumbledore were unable to achieve this goal. The biggest problem that plagued them was that there was no correct way to connect the Hallows together.
The Deathly Hallows is like three parts that know they can be combined, but they can't be combined.
They are completely independent magic items when they are separated, but they still perform their duties when they are put together, and there is no sign of fusion with each other at all.
Although Anduin tried various methods, no matter whether he used physical means to directly piece them together or used magic to connect them together, there was no response.
And after dozens or hundreds of attempts, Anduin and Dumbledore had to give up. They are now basically sure that the combination of the Deathly Hallows must require a unique method.
It may be a special combination method, or it may require a certain ceremony, or it may even require some special preconditions or foreshadowing.
Anyway, until this way is found, wanting to peep into the real Deathly Hallows is just wishful thinking.
Anduin found that he couldn't get more from the information and experiments, so he could only focus on the grave of Ignotus Peverell.
I am afraid that only the ancestor of the Peverell family holds the real secret about the Deathly Hallows, and there may be some clues hidden in the other's tomb.
But in order to find out this secret, is it necessary to dig its grave?
After all, this wizard Peverell had nothing to do with him, and the oriental ideas in his subconscious made Anduin a little bit unable to do anything.
After hesitating for a few days, Anduin still decided to use the shuttle spell to sneak into the ground first, to find out the details of the tomb first, and if he was sure that it was just an ordinary coffin, then he would give up this idea completely.
Therefore, late at night one week after the summer vacation, Anduin quietly came to the cemetery in Godric's Hollow.
"The tomb has been weathered badly, and the names on it are also blurred. Only the mark of the Deathly Hallows can be barely discerned on the tombstone, but the whole is still cleaned up very clean. It seems that someone still takes care of it." Anduin Touching the tombstone belonging to Ignotus, he muttered.
After confirming the location, Anduin didn't waste any time, and immediately cast the Shuttle Curse, allowing his body to slowly sink into the soil in front of the tomb.
Then he groped in the direction of Ignotus's coffin underground, where his five senses would be greatly restricted. Fortunately, Anduin's magic perception was very keen, and he approached the target in a short while.
But when Anduin saw everything in the tomb, he couldn't help being surprised.
There is something wrong with Ignotus' tomb!
In Anduin's magical vision, although the coffin has become decayed due to time, at least it can still see its original appearance.
Shockingly, the coffin was actually empty!Moreover, not only was there no corpse in the coffin, there were not even any funeral objects.
"No!" After further observation, Anduin also had a preliminary judgment in his heart, "There are traces of corpses and relics in the coffin, obviously there were corpses inside when they were buried, which means that this coffin was not empty at first. .”
"And judging from the underground environment around the coffin, the layering of the soil is also inconsistent. That is to say... a long time ago, Ignotus' tomb was dug open once!"
Someone actually robbed Ignotus' tomb before him!
They also stole all the corpses and funeral objects inside!
Coming to such a conclusion made Anduin feel a little unbelievable, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it didn't seem unimaginable.
It is no secret to many scholars that Ignotus Peverell was the original bearer of the Deathly Hallows.
Therefore, some people will definitely speculate that his tomb may hide secrets about the Deathly Hallows.
But when he thought that even the tomb robbery would be taken first, Anduin felt annoyed in his heart. Before, he was wondering whether to do such an outrageous thing, but now, luckily, someone has already done it for him.
"But who is this tomb robber?"
Thinking of this, Anduin looked around the coffin seriously again, he suspected that there might be some secret hidden in Ignotus's tomb.
Is it impossible to explain why the tomb robber ransacked all the contents? After so many years, even the coffin is rotten, and Ignotus's body must have turned into a bone. Might be interested in it.
After searching carefully, Anduin really found a lot of clues. Judging from the soil quality around the coffin, the tomb robber should not have excavated the tomb for more than 100 years, which means that the other party should be Do it for decades.
And as soon as he came to this conclusion, a name flashed in Anduin's mind - Gellert Grindelwald!
From the previous conversation with Dumbledore, he knew that this dark wizard had lived in Godric's Hollow for a long time.
And during that time, the other party was also looking for information about the Deathly Hallows, and even Bathilda Bagshot was the other party's aunt, so he must have known about the cemetery belonging to Ignotus at the time.
"Going around and going around Grindelwald again, with the opponent's style, he can really do such things as tomb robbery. It is said that he stole the Elder Wand from Gregorovich. It seems that we have to From his breach to the Deathly Hallows."
Thinking of this, Anduin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also make a guest appearance as a tomb robber!
