"It looks so scary that no one is afraid to go in. Canaan expressed his opinion.

Delan shrugged, "I haven't been here for about ten years, who knows what the hell it looks like now." Come in with me, there's a lot of black magic in there, just don't touch anything. ”

Delan walked ahead and slowly pushed open the gate of the castle, a puff of dust waking down from the door.

"I'll see who's coming!" there was a dull sound from inside.

Canaan was full of excitement, and looked at Teran in a trembling voice, "Is there anyone inside?"

"It's just a broken painting, don't be nervous, he's my great-great-grandfather by generation. Teresan looked at Canaan's expression and said with a smile that he rarely saw anything that Canaan was afraid of.

As the door opened, the inside was immediately lit up, revealing a resplendent hall.

"This is where our family greets guests, and the painting that we just spoke about is there. DeLand said, pointing to the wall on the second floor.

Canaan looked over and saw a huge portrait hanging on the opposite wall, with a large white beard on the portrait, and his expression seemed to be looking at Canaan.

"Long time no see, Deran, this is your child. He also stroked his rough beard with his hands.

"I'm not such a smart child, well, I'm going to hand over the inheritance of the castle to this kid today. DeLand led them into the house and said to the painting on the wall.

"You've found that place, ready to take a gamble?" the old man in the painting frowned.

"I'm almost there, so to be on the safe side, I'll find you an heir, so you won't be lonely and bored in this villa. ”

"I'm not bored, by the way, I'm telling you that I've been thinking of three new wand designs lately, and if you make them, you'll be able to recreate the glory of our Hoffman family. He said with great interest.

"Come on, I don't have that skill, and the glory of the Hoffman family has long been thrown into the stinking ditch, if you have the energy, teach this child later. ”

Immediately, Delan no longer cared about the people in the painting, he took Canaan to the second floor, "In addition to some bedrooms on the second floor, there are also books collected by our family for hundreds of years, many of which are already lonely, I know you love to read, you should like it here." ”

"Uncle Derean, why did you put the castle's..."

"Will I give you the inheritance of the castle? I may soon be going to a place where life and death are unknown, and this is the place I have been looking for all my life, and I don't want such a large castle to be inherited by no one, do I?" he said with a smile as he picked up Canaan's words.

"I want to ask why you chose me?" he didn't understand why Deran was so nice to him, and after a few meetings, he gave him his first wand.

"Who told you to come to my shop with a big red hat and look like I was a kid. Delan was silent for a moment before adding, "When I was a child, my mother also gave me a red hat, and I carried it for a long time. ”

As if he had thought of something, his expression was solemn, he closed his mouth and did not speak, but just led Canaan step by step along the corridor.

Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the silent castle, and the lights on the candlesticks by the windows flickered slightly.

"Uh... I sewed this hat myself, and I had a lot of stitches, and I couldn't even hold a fork with my fingers at the time. Canaan's exaggerated voice broke the silence as he tried to dispel the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

"I said why this hat is so ugly, it's much uglier than mine. Hearing Canaan's words, Teran once again looked at Little Red Riding Hood on Canaan's head and teased.

Seeing that Delan was back to normal, Canaan also replied with a smile: "The hat is ugly because I am handsome, and the hat is good-looking, but I can't say for sure." ”

Delan also smiled and said: "I guess no one can say anything about you, and you are the only one who turns the corner and scolds others." ”

"Hey, hey..."

......

Teresa led Canaan to the innermost room on the second floor, "This is all our family's collection of books. ”

They pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered the room, which was large but full of dilapidated bookshelves, and Canaan counted at least 22 bookshelves, which seemed to have a lot of books.

"If memory serves, there are 746 volumes, most of them related to wand-making, a few others, and a few related to the dark arts. ”

"Oh, yes, there's a few more. Delan touched his bald head and took out a storage bag from his arms, "This is the book that our organization got on the fourth floor of the New York Library, and I copied all of them, just enough to increase the number of books in our family." ”

"Your organization is really lacking in morality. Canaan muttered.

"Our organization is pretty good, it's better than someone blowing up someone's library. ”

Canaan: "......"

Delan casually left the storage bag on the wooden square table in front of the door, "Let's go, go to the basement, that's the main thing, you can clean up these things yourself." ”

Teresa led Canaan to the innermost corner of the library, and he knocked on the floor, revealing a large black hole in front of him, "This is the only way to the basement, follow me." ”

They walked down the dark stone steps for a few minutes, gradually seeing faint spots of light in front of them.

"What's in there?" Canaan asked Teran with some curiosity as he noticed that the mechanism was similar to that of the Diagon Alley thrift store, his voice echoing through the narrow passage.

"Some useless magic items, and the inheritance of the entire castle. ”

"Inheritance?"

"Yes, with the right of inheritance, the castle will not reject you, otherwise you would not have discovered it without my leadership. Even if it's right in front of your eyes. ”

"Like the Loyalty Curse?" Canaan remembers that Harry's parents were brutally murdered by Voldemort after revealing their addresses because of the Loyalty Curse.

"It's safer than the Loyalty Curse, for dead things don't reveal secrets. Deran smiled, seemingly dismissive of the Dash of Loyalty Curse.

As soon as they finished speaking, they came to the lowest level of the ancient castle, there was not much space here, Canaan felt that it was almost the size of his two bedrooms, surrounded by scattered objects, and there were several magic candlesticks on the walls, which should have been the light they had seen from a distance.

"I think I'm going to have to look for it. Teresa crouched in front of the mess and gently rummaged through it with his hands.

"Won't you use the Flying Charm?"

"I don't know what the name of that thing is, but besides, some of the magic items here are sensitive to spells, and I don't want to accompany you to die young if something bad happens. ”

"Won't you send someone to clean up regularly?" Sensing that the light was still dim, Canaan looked around using fluorescent flashes.

He noticed a thick layer of ash on the candlestick, frowned, and continued, "It's really dirty and messy here. ”

"Didn't I send you now! stop complaining, I found it. Deland picked out a small box from the grocery pile and placed a small red stone in it.

"Take your hands, to complete the ritual, you'll need some blood. He swiped his wand on the palm of Canaan's hand, and blood flowed down the thin wound.

"Don't waste it, children can't put too much blood. Canaan looked at the bleeding palm and said distressedly.

Gradually, the red stone seemed to have absorbed enough blood, emitting a faint red light.

Seeing this, Teresa stopped Canaan's bleeding and healed his wounds with a wand.
