Chapter 354: Bat Tooth (Third Update, Supplement)

Bat Hall, here is a fairly spacious room.

Jon didn't find any traces of bats here, though.

At the innermost part of the hall, there were three wooden chairs covered with animal skins, and on each of them sat an old man with gray hair...... The old men were dressed in similar clothes to the young Krua wizards, and were also dressed in animal skins, but their faces looked much kinder.

"They're probably the so-called Elders?" Jon thought with some curiosity, following Sandru into the room.

The two stopped about ten yards from the three wooden chairs, and directly Sandru touched his chest with both hands, then made a cross, and then lightly touched his temple......

He was probably doing something that represented the etiquette...... Jon wanted to learn from him to do it again, but he didn't expect this action to be a bit complicated, and he didn't see anything for a long time, so he had to give up.

He followed behind Sandru and bowed lightly to the three elders.

"Outsiders...... Name your name?" said the old wizard at the top, and after the two of them had finished saluting, the hoarse voice took the initiative to speak.

He speaks English much better than Sandru, at least not in any strange tones.

But it's more convenient to communicate like this-

"I'm Christophe Patrick, I take the liberty of visiting Cruja, please forgive me. Jon said respectfully.

"I am Phoenix Skanderbeg of Kruja, Friend of the Eagle, Elder of Kruja, Guardian of the Mountains and Forests of Albania......" The old wizard did not hesitate, announcing his name and a list of titles.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mistress Phoenix!" Jon had to say.

"Mr. Patrick...... Sandru told me that you killed a werewolf and stopped his plot to infiltrate Krua, didn't you?" asked the old wizard Phoenix, looking Jon in the eye.

"Yes, that's just a gesture. Jon looked at him calmly and nodded.

"You prevented a catastrophe and prevented a werewolf from posing a greater threat......," the old wizard Phoenix said lightly, "You have won the friendship of Skanderbeg, and you have also won the right to enter and leave Kruja freely!"

"Luck is so good?" Jon muttered.

He didn't expect to gain the "friendship" of these Albanian wizards just by killing a werewolf, wouldn't that be ......

"If you have a request, you can do it...... If we can do it, we'll satisfy you, outsider!" continued the old wizard Phoenix.

Jon took a light breath and spoke slowly, "Yes, Mr. Elder, I do need something...... That is, a branch of the Calabar Tree of Souls!"

......

"Hellbo the Meanwhile, the notorious dark wizard of ancient Greece who lived more than 2,000 years ago, is also the inventor of Horcruxes, blood spells, and basilisks.

Legend has it that when it came time to make Horcruxes, Helbo struggled with how to combine the soul with the vessel.

Until one day, Helpo traveled to Kruja, Albania, where he found a strange ancient tree that seemed to absorb the power of the soul and keep it stable, and after burning it, it could emit the soul within......

Helbo plucked a branch from the tree, and before it withered, he used it to absorb a piece of his own soul and burn it with the Horcrux, making the soul and the Horcrux one, making the first Horcrux in the Dark Wizard world.

Helmpo named the tree "Kalaba - Tree of Souls", which is very rare, the only known one is in Kruja, Albania, but it is also extremely long-lived, and it is said that it can live for up to 3,000 years, and it is still alive today. ”

This passage was heard by Professor Horace-Slughorn from a local dark wizard in Greece when he was young...... At the time, Slughorn tried to make a Horcrux for himself, but he eventually dismissed the idea.

In other words, the credibility of this information is not yet known.

However, one of the seniors, also from Slughorn, went to Albania...... Then he succeeded in making Horcruxes, and six in a row. That's Tom Riddle.

So Jon followed in the Dark Lord's footsteps to find the branches of the Calabar Tree of Souls.

......

As soon as Jon's words fell, the old wizard Phoenix couldn't help frowning, and the other two old wizards glared at Jon angrily.

"The Tree of Souls is a sacred relic of Kruja, our most precious thing!" said the old wizard Phoenix calmly, "not even Skanderbeg can easily approach it and desecrate it, let alone outsiders...... So please change the conditions, Mr. Patrick. ”

Jon couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, it wouldn't be as easy as he imagined.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm probably not the first to make this offer. Jon looked up and spoke calmly, "Decades ago, an alien wizard asked you for this, and you agreed to him, didn't you?"

Sandru couldn't help but be stunned, and the other two old wizards also looked at each other suspiciously.

Elder Phoenix, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Jon in surprise slightly, then nodded, "That's right...... That was 50 years ago, when I was very young, but I remember what happened vividly...... That young alien wizard, he's done us an even bigger favor!"

"I can help you too!" Jon said coldly, "If I can do it, if you can use the branches of the Tree of Souls in exchange." ”

"We need bat teeth. "Those evil humanoid bats from Transylvania, who often fly into Albania at night, attack us, and suck the blood of living beings......"

β€œ...... They kill our people, they kill our fellow eagles, they fly faster, the eagles can't catch up with them...... So, please destroy them, bring their teeth over, and I'll trade them for the branches of the Tree of Souls!"

"Evil humanoid bats in Transylvania?" Jon muttered...... The other party should be referring to vampires, and nothing fits their description better than the vampires of Transylvania, right?

Looks like I'm going to have to go to Transylvania!

With a light sigh, Jon nodded, "I promise your terms, Mr. Phoenix...... I'll bring the bat's teeth here, and I hope you'll keep your promise!"

"I swear in the honor of our ancestor George Skanderbeg that I will never break my word!" said Elder Phoenix without hesitation.

After a pause, he added: "If you want, I can let Sandru follow you and show you the way!"

"Of course, I'd love to!"

Sandru on the side hurriedly smiled at him.

......

Everything looks like it's been decided.

The three elders above looked at Jon with some curiosity, as if questioning whether his small body could achieve his goal.

Jon didn't care, and continued to ask, "That young man from fifty years ago must have brought you some bat fangs, can you take me to see what it looks like?"

"Of course!" Elder Phoenix nodded and waved at the others, "You all stand down!"

The other two elders and Sandru hurriedly exited the Bat Hall.

Elder Phoenix, who remained in the hall, led Jon to an empty wall.

He reached out and waved his hand at the wall...... Then I saw the walls dissipate, revealing a room that was no less than the size of the hall.

Jon gasped as he looked inside.

The room in front of me, on three walls, was full of sharp teeth...... The dense number of sharp teeth, shining under the light of the fire, a simple estimate, at least a few hundred pairs!

And at the top of the front side, there are a pair of sharp teeth at least ten centimeters long, which look very hideous.

"It comes from Count Dracula, the owner of Fort Dracula!" Elder Phoenix said with a smile, "Fifty years ago, that young foreign wizard brought his head and removed his teeth in front of us......"

"Okay......" Jon couldn't help but smile ugly, "Can you see his name, this foreign wizard?"

"Right next to those tusks!" replied, the elder gesturing ahead.

Jon took a few steps forward, and saw a clearly visible, somewhat ironic name next to the pair of teethβ€”

"Albus Gaunt!"
