Chapter 1700: A Title Deed

Aven carefully scanned the words on the slate, there were three types of script, Parseltongue, Ancient Demonic, and Ancient English.

The content of the three languages is the same, and it is obviously very important to use so many words to record it together.

"It's like a title deed......," Hermione said with a frown.

"That's right, and it's an officially recognized title deed. Evan said, pointing to Harry, Hermione, and Elaine at the back of the slate, "Look here, this is the symbol of the Presbyterian Church, this organization is the predecessor of the National Wizards' Union, and its status in the Middle Ages thousands of years ago was equivalent to the current Ministry of Magic. And this insignia, which is undoubtedly the crest of the Slytherin family, and as for the latter ones, if I remember correctly, they should be the insignia of several pure-blood magical families and Muggle nobles...... The Presbyterian Church, along with these families and Muggle lords, recognized the Slytherins as owning the lands in these regions. ”

"So, this is a title deed? Slytherin gave me a title deed?" Elaine asked, raising an eyebrow, "What's the point of this thing?"

"Significant, Elaine, this title deed states that the Slytherin heirs who own it will automatically acquire the rights to the lands described above, and this right is recognized by the Council of Elders and many pure-blood wizarding families and Muggle noble lords, and according to the law, these rights should now also be recognized and protected by the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministries of Magic of each country. "That is, the land written on the slate is now yours." ”

"Sounds amazing!"

"It's pretty powerful, as far as I know, no wizard has ever owned so much land, let's see what areas are there. "Well, this paragraph should describe Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest, and the surrounding mountains and rivers, which were once the territory of the Slytherin family. ”

Although Salazar Slytherin agreed to establish a school of witchcraft and wizardry in his family's castle Hogwarts thousands of years ago, the ownership of the land still belonged to the Slytherins, and he and the Slytherin family never gave up this right. To this day, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is nominally owned and managed by the school's board of trustees, which is still privatized, but the school board does not own the land, but no one has talked about it for thousands of years.

It may have been a joke to say that Elaine had Hogwarts ownership, but now the title deed has made this joke come true, and if Elaine takes this title deed to the Ministry of Magic and the Board of Directors, then the school board will have to pay her a large amount of land rent.

And whether Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can stay there or not is entirely up to Elaine himself.

Of course, this is all from a legal and procedural point of view.

After all, this title deed is something from a thousand years ago, and there must be many people who don't recognize it now. The change of regime, and the fact that many of the wizarding and Muggle families listed on the title deed had long since died, made their promises meaningless, but at the very least, the International Confederation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic should recognize the legitimacy of the title deed.

Evan reckons that if Elaine does take this to the school board, then they should have her on board.

"The island in the North Sea should be Azkaban. Hermione pointed to another section on the slate and said, "Well, there are a few islands here. ”

Azkaban was also once the domain of House Slytherin, and this has also been confirmed.

"And this one, it's about the land in Diagon Alley, well, it's probably about the area where Gringotts is located. Evan said.

Gringotts is the largest building in Diagon Lane and has always been owned by the elves, but the land is actually owned by the Slytherins.

In other words, the area where Gringotts is located should now also belong to Elaine.

It may still be difficult to get back to the land where Hogwarts and Azkaban are located, but it will be much less difficult for Gringotts, after all, wizards have always had many restrictions on goblins, and it is impossible to support them, and it is estimated that Gringotts may have to pay a large sum of gold Galleons to Elaine to rent this land.

Thinking about the value of these lands, with this title deed, Elaine could be the richest man in the entire wizarding world.

From a poor vampire who had nothing and needed Aven's support, to becoming the richest witch in the wizarding world.

The process in between, just a drop of blood and a wealthy ancestor is all it takes.

In addition to Hogwarts, Azkaban, and Gringotts, the title deed also records some lands in the southern part of England, which were not wizarding colonies, but should now be owned by Muggles, and the Slytherin family owns not only the United Kingdom, but also several lands in other countries.

For example, a vampire castle in Norway is marked on the title deed.

Owning land abroad was not uncommon at the time, at that time the wizarding secrecy law had not yet been issued, and the Muggles, who were quite underdeveloped in technology, were still quite in awe of magic and believed in the existence of wizards, and the frequent wars between each other gave Muggle lords the possibility of calling wizards to fight for them, and rewarding wizards with land was also a common thing, many ancient pure-blood wizarding families had territories all over Europe, and a large part of them are still owned by wizards today.

The Malfoy family, for example, had a special territory in Romania.

The place was now a manor dedicated to raising dragons, and Malfoy was not a little bragging about it at school.

Therefore, if Elaine wants to, he can take the title deed and recover the land that is nominally hers one by one.

And Elaine is not alone, her uncle and the entire Slytherin vampire clan will support him.

What vampires lack most now is legitimate territory, once they know what Elaine owns in these wizarding or Muggle regions......

Evan didn't really care about it, but Hermione was there to tell Elaine and Harry about the great value of the land, and he quickly looked down for any valuable information, until he saw the same map pattern he had obtained from the Evil God's Eye in the lower part of the title deed.

This area in ancient Greece was once the lair of the dastardly Helbo, and it was a crucial place related to the secret Slytherin treasure key, and since obtaining the map, Aven and Hermione had searched a lot of information but had no clue where it was.

Eventually, the two of them came to the conclusion that the area had been taken to another dimension by the dastardly Helbo, the same place Dumbledore had been.

Dumbledore didn't elaborate, Evan didn't know how to get past it, he had been worrying about it.

Now, he saw the map again, and it was in the corresponding place in reality......
