First, he knocked on the door with his wand, and then scanned it twice with Detection Spell to confirm that there was no curse before reaching out to twist the doorknob.
The rust on the door handle is very serious, and it can be seen that the later generations of Black family no longer paid much attention to this place.
After twisting the door handle twice, the mechanism inside made a "click" sound, and then the lock bolt popped open.
Let's just say, does this door have to be so narrow?
Lin Ze turned sideways and slowly squeezed into the door.
Behind the door is a corridor that can only accommodate one person walking, with no windows on both sides.
Lin Ze took out the wand, and the tip of the wand lit up with a soft fluorescent light.
The corridor is short and at the end is a small room.
The room was only about three steps square and had no windows.
The four walls were made into built-in wooden shelves, and the shelves were filled with dusty old books, scrolls, and several copper boxes with shrunken corners.
The blue butterfly flew into the hut, shook it, and then disappeared in the air.
Lin Ze glanced at the dusty books, most of which were Ancient Runes, Dark Magic research manuals, and some unnamed notes.
The wand was lifted lightly, and the dust in the room was picked up by a breeze and piled up in the corner. Then the books slowly floated up and lined up in the air to list their full picture.
"Chivalis..." Lin Ze read the name softly, his eyes passing over the books one after another. He opened the unsigned books gently, checking each one to see if there was any information about Chivalis.
After a rough scan, no items related to Chivalis were found.
"Well... it seems..."
Just when Lin Ze put the books back in place and turned to look at the scrolls, Sirius suddenly exclaimed, "Lin, come and see this!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Ze turned and looked towards Sirius.
But he saw Sirius squatting on the ground with an opened box in front of him.
The box actually contained a box full of things that looked like animal teeth.
Judging from the number, there are dozens, or even hundreds.
The teeth have a dark yellow color and are about the same length as canine fangs.
Lin Ze squatted down, picked up one of the teeth, and used the fluorescence on the wand to observe it. He found that there was a very small hole at the tip of the tooth, which seemed to be the original hole of the tooth, not an acquired hole.
"Are these... vampire teeth?" Lin Ze said with some doubt.
He had seen a vampire with his own eyes. In the case of South America, the vampire was not like those in later movies, except for two fangs, and the rest of its teeth were the same as those of ordinary people. It was not a humanoid species, but more like a monster species created by the Creator alone.
These teeth are different from the vampire Lin Ze saw. Could it be that there are different types of vampires?
Are there any regional divisions?
Pulling out the teeth in the box, he found a sealed kraft paper file bag underneath the teeth.
Lin Ze picked up the file bag and opened the wax seal on the bag with his hands.
Inside is a piece of rough paper, which can be seen to be very old.
The font on the paper is typical of medieval writing.
Lin Ze glanced at the signature, it was Chivalis·Black.
Lin Ze put the paper on his knees, and with the light of the wand, he began to read the contents of the paper carefully.
"That winter, we followed Mr. Flamel to find the vampire lair. Under the ruins of Icon Church, that thing had sucked up the Muggle of seventeen villages and raised a large number of blood slaves."
"Those blood slaves were transformed from Muggle. They are no different from ordinary people. Their fangs are hidden in the upper jaw and are only revealed when they need to suck blood."
"They have no self, just like mosquitoes and flies chasing blood, hunting for the mother, and feeding the blood back to the mother."
"We killed forty-seven, and these fangs were all pried out from the mouths of those blood slaves. Originally, I wanted to give these things to a few other people, but no one wanted them, so I just took them all back as a souvenir."
"..."
I'm a little speechless when I see Lin Ze here. You want to keep this thing as a souvenir. Just keep one or two of them, and get them all back...
"This ancestor of yours is a ruthless person." Lin Ze said to Sirius.
Sirius came over and took a look, with a slightly subtle expression. "It's normal. After all, Black family is not crazy."
Lin Ze:"..."
Not bad, I still have some clear self-awareness.
The content on the paper ended here. Lin Ze turned the paper over and over again, and then he tapped on the paper with his wand.
"Appare Vestigium"
Some small words appeared on the back of the paper.
Sure enough, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction.
"The mother body of the vampire family has been sealed by Mr. Flamel with an alchemical coffin. The white stone is used as the coffin, covered with lead and silver, and its joints are sealed with holy nails."
"..."
That's all?
Lin Ze thought that the other party had to leave the address of the sealed mother body...
Is this the result?
Isn't this noisy?
Is it possible that the only way to find the address is to ask Nick Flamel in person?
God knows where this guy is now...
Maybe you can ask Dumbledore?
Forget it... even if I asked, I would probably get a reply saying, "Nico doesn't want to get too involved in the world."
Moreover, if you rely on Dumbledore for everything, doesn't it make you, the team leader, look stupid?
Well...
Huh?
Wait, there seemed to be an address written on the paper just now?
Icon Church?
The mother vampire found there, the sealed address... maybe that's where it is!
Lin Ze and Sirius spent nearly an hour in that Chamber of Secrets room.
Apart from the box of tusks and the piece of rough paper, nothing of value was found.
Chivalis·Black is obviously a pragmatist, and he doesn't even bother to leave a few words for posterity.
"What are you going to do with these things?" Sirius asked.
"Leave the fangs here for now, I have to take the paper away." Lin Ze carefully folded the piece of rough paper and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his coat.
Sirius nodded, covered the box again, and the two squeezed out of the narrow door one after the other.
When I returned to the Entrance Hall, Kreacher was still squatting in the shadow of the stairs, the eyes of the light bulb dimly shining in the darkness, like two coals that were about to burn out.
"Leave now?" Sirius asked.
"Well, I have to continue checking."
"Tell me if you need help."
"Okay."
Lin Ze walked out of the old house, and the door behind him closed automatically.
London It started to rain lightly again.
Lin Ze turned up the collar of his coat and walked directly to the phone booth leading to Ministry of Magic "Apparition" in the rain.
Icon Church ruins.
Although there is an address, where exactly can I find this thing?
There are not ten but eight places called Icon Church, not to mention the old ruins from hundreds of years ago. Now I am afraid that even the remaining bricks and tiles are buried underground.
Lin Ze decided to go back to the ministry to check the records about Icon Church.
