Chapter 218: Old Man (4)
Elves do not have a high status in wizarding families, and in all wizarding families, elves exist like servants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info can't imagine that in the current era of civilization, even among the Muggles who have lagged behind the wizarding world for hundreds of years, slavery has been abolished, and in the wizarding world, there is still a poor race like this elf.
Wizards also use black slaves, treating these races, which also have extraordinary magical talents and extremely high intelligence, as their vassals and even slaves. The decay and backwardness of the wizarding world is not only reflected in the magic power that has not increased for hundreds of years, but also in this zombie-like system: the Ministry of Magic where pure-blood families hold power, the rigid economy controlled by goblins, and wizards naturally enjoy the offerings of other magical creatures, all of which are like poison wrapped in honey, slowly eroding the vitality of the already small wizarding world.
For a long-term wealthy family, the Crouch family has a long history, and there have been several powerful wizards in their ancestors, but they are far less prominent than the families of Blake, Malfoy, or Gaunt. The Crouch family, who have always been in the upper echelons of the wizarding family, are eligible to have their own pokemon, and Twilight is the house-owning elf.
Elves tend to live longer than wizards, perhaps due to their more ancient bloodline. Legend has it that elves are actually magical creations that were created by wizards. This statement is actually a unified official statement of the Ministry of Magic, in order to disguise the darker reality.
If a sorcerer can easily create a life with a high level of intelligence like a pokemon, then a sorcerer should not be called a sorcerer, but a god. Compared to magical creations such as dementors and yin corpses, with a little understanding, you can easily tell the difference between elves and those magical creations.
Xie An, who has an unusual relationship with the elves at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, knows a lot of truths about the history of elves, and after confirming with Queen Anne, Xie An understands even more that the history of wizards is far from being as bright and great as the official said, and all kinds of betrayal, betrayal and cruelty are even beyond the imagination of Muggles.
Ann's suggestion enlightens Barty that Twilight has always taken care of herself, that she is the only elf she can trust, and that if Twilight is willing to help her, then there is a great possibility of finding the source of the soul gem.
"Andrew, you're right, I'll summon Twilight now!" There is a mysterious connection between wizards and elves, and by summoning spells, wizards can easily summon their own elves.
"Elf Present!" Barty waved his wand, pronounced the incantation, and with a soft pop, a little elf wearing a pink pillowcase, with large eyes and slightly darkened skin, appeared in the room.
The elf who suddenly appeared first saw Xie An and Queen Anne, and was a little puzzled, but still asked politely, "Who summoned Twinkle?"
"It's me, Twilight, do you remember me?" said little Barty hurriedly.
Hearing the familiar voice, Flashing hurriedly turned his short body, and sure enough, he found that the young master who had been missing for a long time appeared in front of him, and his mouth grew in surprise: "Oh, young master, it's really you, young master! It's okay if you're okay, oh, it must be Madame's spirit in the sky, protecting you, young master!" The elf expressed her excitement incoherently, making her already shrill voice sound like the whistle of a teapot.
"Twilight, don't get excited, now is not the time to get excited, calm down, I have something to ask you!" Barty squatted down and put his hands on Twinkle's shoulders, trying to calm the elf.
"But young master, the master has found out that you are missing, he is very angry, maybe he has arranged for the Aurors to look for you, you know, the master has some old subordinates in the executive department, they can secretly catch you, that day I accidentally heard the master say..."
"Does that old fellow want the Aurors to kill me? Hmph, I'm not afraid of him, if it weren't for my mother's sake, I would—" Barty roared angrily.
"Don't say that, young master, the master is also forced to do so, if it weren't for the glory of the Crouch family, the master would definitely not ignore the young master. Twinkle stopped Barty Jr. from cursing his dad and explained with a sob.
"What glory is the Crouch family, now that the Crouch family is ruined, what glory is there! Twinkle, stop defending him, in his eyes, my mother and I are just dispensable objects, and we have no need to exist for him. ”
"It's not like that, it's not like that, I've seen the lord cry secretly with a picture of you and your wife..."
"Crocodile tears, what's the use, once his great career has run into an obstacle, we are not immediately abandoned!" Barty Jr. turned his face away, not wanting to listen to Twinkle's explanation.
"Well, Barty II, this is not the time to discuss this, your mother is still suffering, and every second of time wasted could cause irreparable damage!" Queen Anne reminded in a loud voice, seeing that little Barty had lost her basic judgment and was completely blinded by anger and hatred.
"What? you said that Madame is suffering, Madame is not already..."It was only then that Twinkle noticed Empress Anne and Xie Ann.
Empress Anne wore a magnificent wizard's robe embroidered with silver thread and silk, and the clouds appeared and disappeared like mysterious meteor tracks in the light of the fireplace and lamps.
Xie An was still wearing an ordinary wizard's robe at this time, and in order to facilitate the attack on Azkaban, his wizarding robe was also pure black, the only difference was that on his chest, a hideous holy beast was embroidered with a red silk thread of unknown material. Twinkle didn't know that the hideous monster that stepped on the auspicious clouds was the unicorn she had heard of many times.
This unicorn is a powerful magic pattern formation engraved onto Xie An's magic robe by Queen Anne through extremely complex magic, and at a critical moment, it can save Xie An's life.
As a dedicated and qualified elf, Twinkle can clearly feel the vastness of Queen Anne's magic, and that vast magic Twinkle has never felt in any wizard. Queen Anne's magic made Twilight feel light and boundless, but the aura of the wizard next to him made Twinkle terrified.
"Mistress Annie is right, Twilight, I need you to do me a favor, if it succeeds, my mother may be resurrected. Barty Jr. said excitedly.
Twinkle looked at the young master and Queen Anne suspiciously, "What's the hurry, young master?" Even in the elf's worldview, death is an absolute forbidden realm, and Twinkle, who knew the tragedy of the Crouch family, always thought that his wife had died.
Xie An took out the soul gem, floated in front of Shiny with magic power, and asked, "Do you know what this thing is?" The aura of destruction is not so obvious to ordinary wizards, because every wizard, more or less, will have the urge to destroy something, but for the elves, the powerful destruction magic oppression on Xie An's body is extremely obvious. This is something that the elf elder Dora-sama has already discovered.
Twinkle didn't know that the one in front of her was the Kirin wizard that Elder Dora often mentioned, and the elf who instinctively sensed danger couldn't help but take a step back.
Sparkle looked at the soul gem seriously, and said suspiciously, "Isn't this thing Madame's favorite gem?"
Hearing that Sparkle didn't recognize the true purpose of the soul gem, little Barty couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. Xie An continued to ask with an expressionless face, "Then do you know where this gem came from?"
Seeing that Queen Anne and Xie An were both looking at her, she nodded a little nervously.
"You know, Sparkle, do you really know where this gem came from?" asked little Barty excitedly, nodding at Shining.
"Of course, this gem is a token of love given by the lord to his wife, and the lady has always treasured it, and only occasionally takes it out to look at it. Twinkle said.
"No, I didn't mean that. Sparkle, I wonder where the old guy got this gem. Barty Jr. hurriedly continued.
Twinkle frowned slightly, revealing a look of memory. "I don't know, it seems that the gem has been passed down from the master's father. ”
Passed down from Barty's grandfather from Little Bartty, such news is useless at all, of course Little Barty knows that this is the ancestral treasure of the family, in that case, there is still no way to find the wizard of the Soul Sect!
"Sparkle, don't you have any memory of the origin of this gem, only that it was passed down from Grandpa?" asked little Barty again.
"Young master, I have been serving the Crouch family for a long time, and this gem was indeed passed down from the master's father, as for the future, I can't be sure how this gem got into the hands of the master. Twinkle saw little Barty's excited expression and replied nervously.
Little Barty couldn't help but show an expression of extreme disappointment, but Xie An suddenly asked, "Shining, have you ever seen the old man?"
Twinkle nodded, "When I first joined the Crouch family as a child, I met the young master's grandfather. ”
"And what kind of wizard is he?" Xie An continued.
"The young master's grandfather is a very strict and powerful wizard, and he is very strict with the young master's father. He didn't like to talk, and always stayed in his study, studying ancient magic. Twinkle thought for a moment and said.
Xie An and Queen Anne looked at each other, and Xie An then asked, "Do you know what wizards he is associated with?"
Flashing recalled for a moment in confusion before saying, "I don't remember that the young master's father had a relationship with the wizard, and he always stayed in his study to study magic. The only time I met with other wizards, it seemed that the professor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry came to visit and inform the young master's father of the enrollment, that time it was a little strange, I heard that the students of other wizarding families were sent by owls, but the young master's father was a professor who came to the door and sent the letter. Grandpa didn't seem to want the young master's father to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it seemed that after some arguments between the professor and the grandfather, he agreed that the young master's father would go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
"What happened to Grandpa?" Xie An thought for a moment and then asked.
"A return to the arms of the god of magic, of course. Twinkle replied as a matter of course.
Xie An looked at little Barty, who seemed to understand something at this time, thought for a while and said, "My grandfather, who I have never seen since I was born, and the old guy has never mentioned it. I always thought he was dead. ”
"It seems that things have become more complicated, and in this case, we have to ask Barty Crouch I. Queen Anne sighed and said.
Soul Gems are Noble Vehicles that require extremely powerful soul magic to create. It is impossible for this treasure to appear in the Crouch family for no reason. Seeing that little Barty did not understand the use of soul magic, Xie An and Queen Anne naturally deduced that the Crouch family had nothing to do with the Soul Sect.
But after listening to Shiny's words, Xie An had to reconsider this matter, little Barty can't do soul magic, it doesn't mean Barty Crouch can't. There is no way to confirm that the ancestors of the Crouch family have nothing to do with the Soul Sect.
If little Barty's grandfather was a follower of the Soul Sect, then it may not be impossible to make a magical soul gem by chance. If this is the case, I'm afraid that Old Barty may also have some magic in the soul sect.
"The lineage of the sect is extremely strict, and your grandfather didn't want your father to enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, perhaps because he didn't want school life to interfere with the lineage of the sect. If this is the case, I am afraid that there are extremely complex reasons for this. Mr. Barty, I think it's best to ask your father directly at this time, otherwise we're just wasting our time. Queen Anne said.
"Mistress Annie, I've never heard the old fellow talk about soul magic, he doesn't even know what soul gems do, how can such a stupid wizard master magic that you haven't even mastered?" said Barty Jr. dissatisfied.
"Barty Crouch, the truth is far more tortuous than you think. How much do you know about your father, how much do you know about your grandfather, how much do you know about your family? If you give up the great opportunity in front of you because of your stubborn prejudice and resentment, I think you will have to lose your great mother forever. Xie An said coldly.
"But, but..."Little Barty looked at the glitter of sadness angrily, then at the peaceful Queen Anne, and finally at the expressionless Xie An, and finally lowered his head, and after a while said, "Maybe what you said is right, any solution should be worth trying for my mother, what do you need me to do, you say." ”
