57, a boat in a bottle

Ten minutes later.

Hoffa and the future Dark Lord stood at the edge of the base in the clouds, leading two Thestrals, with Ryan and the female vampire with her whole body firmly bound to death, and she probably already knew that her family had been wiped out and the wizard was wiped out. I saw that she was tied to Thestrals' back, and even her mouth was sealed with chains, and there was hatred in her eyes when she looked at Tom and Hoffa.

Tom didn't want to say anything to Hoffa anymore, so he took the female vampire with him as if he were carrying some kind of cargo, and placed her sideways on Thestrals' back, before rolling over and straddle Thestrals' back.

The black creature spread its huge wings and silently descended towards Bournemouth below.

Ryan looked at Thestrals below him, and then at Hoffa, who was standing on the ground, thinking that he was going to sit behind him, his teeth chattering.

But Hoffa didn't look at him, he didn't talk to him, only to see him gently pat Thestrals' neck, and Thestrals sensed something, spread their wings, raised their front hooves, and fell straight down.

Ryan's hair was messily covered in the air of the clouds, and he turned his head to look at the air thousands of meters above the ground, only to see the black shadow of the huge four-winged bird in the clouds flickering for a moment, and then disappeared.

He swears it was the worst day he'd ever experienced, not one of them. Ever since he met the evil Ravenclaw, his fate has become like a broken tub in the waves, no longer under his control.

When the two Thestrals finally landed on the ground, Hoffa was already standing on the ground waiting for them.

They returned to the dungeon of Bournemouth, where yesterday it was bustling with vampires singing and feasting, and today the dungeon is lifeless and quiet like a copy after being pushed by the footman. Occasionally, a few patrolling wizards walked by.

Tom Riddle straddled the Thestrals, his wand pointed at the vampire, "Stop." ”

With a click, the chains that bound the vampire were all opened, and the female vampire collapsed to the ground weakly.

"Whatever he tells you to do, you do. ”

Tom said condescendingly, "Don't try to run, if you don't want to suffer more before you die." ”

The vampire slowly propped himself up from the ground and spat at Tom's feet, which was rewarded with a hard kick that landed Tom Riddle's shiny calfskin boots in the vampire's face.

"Call me when you're hungry, and don't do anything else. His tone was thick with impatience.

"Such as ...... As you wish...... Wizard-sama. ”

The vampire said hatefully prostrate at his feet.

Tom let go of his feet and looked at Hoffa, "Okay, take us to the Muggle who killed the vampire, and if he really exists, a little faster." ”

Hoffa pulled the female vampire up, "Is there a very hidden place in your city to hide things?"

The vampire didn't look at him, she got up and patted the dust off her body. He said to the two, "Follow me." ”

The four of them didn't say anything all the way, with the female vampire at the front, Hoffa in the middle, and Tom pulling Ryan at the very end of the line. They walked into the depths of the empty city, and soon disappeared into the depths of the castle complex.

Moonlight poured through the gaps in the narrow windows, leaving mottled silver spots on their faces. As midnight fell, the female vampire led them into a hidden church hall on the side of the city. The yellow seal had been pulled down by yesterday's search wizard, and there were still a few sorcerers standing guard on the road.

Seeing the four of Hofa, they immediately greeted them, and at this time, Riddle's role was revealed, he just stood forward, said something casually, and the wizards standing guard let them in with a respectful face. In the eyes of those wizards, Tom Riddle is also a decent and decent person, one of the mainstays of the future wizarding society.

When Hoffa entered, he found that the inside was similar to the outside, with seals everywhere, and everything had been almost moved. Only a few empty cabinets remained.

However, upon arriving here, Hoffa immediately sensed that there was another mystery behind the cabinet. Strange to say, this is not the perception that his mental ability gives him, but the ability to clearly see the confined space behind the cabinet through vision, which is an extra ability for him after night.

Sure enough, the female vampire walked over to the cabinet and fumbled for a moment, then pressed and pushed, and the cabinet flipped over, revealing a narrow passage behind it.

Tom Riddle stood still and pouted at Hofanunu, with the obvious meaning that he was going to go in first.

Seeing no danger, Hoffa followed the female vampire into the dark room. This is supposed to be where the vampires hide their things, a boxy storage room with animal skin blankets on the floor, a set of sofas and desks.

In the center of the desk sat an open notebook, rough and yellowed, with something written in strange floral English.

On the left side of the notebook, against the edge of the table, there was a neat stack of books, about seven or eight of them, and on the wall to their right were inlaid with gray-white pipes and wall lamps connected to them.

This lamp has a very Western classical flavor, about the size of an adult's head, and the inner layer is transparent glass, and the outside is surrounded by black metal.

???? Diagonally below the extinguished sconce, a black inkwell shrouds in a reddish glow, the surface of which is embossed to form a vague three-ringed moon pattern.

Seeing the pattern, Hoffa realized that he touched his chest. The high ceiling also features a delicate three-ring stained glass window, and the moonlight shines through the scattered glass lenses. It fell on the right hand of the room, which was the Bogu shelf of the room.

At the bottom of the shelf are piles of scrolls, open to see some Renaissance paintings, and on the shelves of the sofa next to them, there are all kinds of accessories, Swiss watches, Chinese ceramics, South American sculptures, and even Japanese ukiyo-e.

At the top is a glass bottle containing a very delicate and realistic warship, floating in a blue liquid. The boat was very delicate, shining in the moonlight, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

A boat in a bottle.

"These are my father's collections, some of them were looted, some were given by others, and you want to take them for yourself. The female vampire stood in the middle of the room and said coldly.

After entering the room, Tom Riddle loosened the rope from Ryan's body, and searched the room with great interest, picking up a watch and a famous painting.

But Hoffa was not interested, the million-pound collection meant nothing to him, and he felt that the female vampire had misunderstood what he meant, and that he wanted to find Mance's hideout, not the old vampire's treasure room.

"Is there no place to hide, and if someone wants to hide, where will he hide?"

He asked the female vampire.

"You ask me, who do I ask, that's the most hidden place I know. The female vampire said. Then, she opened her mouth with some pleasure, "Didn't you have an extraordinary plan to find someone this time, Lord Wizard!?"

"Strange. ”

Hoffa didn't have the sarcasm of the vampire, and he fell into deep thought, and Mance took the nuns and the children of the French refugees, and it seemed that he was going to do something big.

But no matter what he wants to do, he must have a place and supplies, after all, this is the material world, and it is impossible to take a group of people without eating or drinking, if that is the case, it is better to kill everyone at the beginning. He felt that with that guy's shrewdness, he would never be able to do such a stupid thing.

Tom looked a little disappointed when he inspected the collection in the room, and it was obvious that these Muggle items did not fit into his eyes, and he threw away a diamond-encrusted watch in his hand: "Is this the end of the search, it seems that the amazing Muggle officer you spoke of is not here." ”

"Give me a little more time. Hoffa said in a deep voice.

"Whatever you want, I don't want to go anyway. ”

Tom walked behind the mahogany table, sat down in a chair with his legs crossed on the table, turned his wand in his hand, and said with a wive, "I love staying here, there is some treasure here." If you want to find it, find it yourself. ”

Hoffa glanced at Ryan, who was looking at him, and when he noticed his eyes, he immediately lowered his head and stared at his toes, looking like he didn't want anything to do with him.

"Okay, you wait for me here. Hoffa said to Tom, "Don't go anywhere." ”

With that, he left the dark room alone and wandered around the castle, first he came to the kitchen of the vampire castle, where there were many machines for bloodletting, covered with blood spots, and there were many hooks on the ceiling, there should have been many living people hanging here, but now those hooks are empty.

The efficiency of those searching wizards was still very high, and in just a few days, they cleaned up the corpses and blood slaves here.

Then he went to the theater, the living room, the bedroom, and so on. But without exception, these places are empty. This made Hoffa feel a kind of confusion about looking for a needle in a haystack, and he couldn't help but wonder what he was doing, whether it made sense.

Going around and around, he finally returned to the treasure room brought by the female vampire, and the few people in the room did not speak, Tom Riddle still leaned back on the red leather chair where the vampire once sit, maintaining a lazy appearance of watching the show, the female vampire and Ryan each stood in a corner of the room, the vampire looked at Ryan, and Ryan stared at the ground.

"How's the catch?"

Tom asked, leaning back in his chair.

Hoffa shook his head, "Didn't find it." ”

"That was pretty unexpected. Tom grinned, gloating.

Hoffa's sarcastic gesture at him had become numb, and Tom said casually that he couldn't really do anything to him, and the guy who really pierced his heart was the one who worried him the most.

Is Mance gone?

Leave the city.

If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll never find the nun again.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this speculation was not reliable.

The exit of the dungeon is more than a few hundred meters above the ground, and there is a vacuum area of more than a hundred meters in the middle, how did he climb out of a Muggle who can't magic, can't fly and can't phantom. Unless he's going to fly a plane, which is impossible.

Did he go out together with an ordinary wizard? He had such a big hole in his chest that even a fool could see the difference. Even if the wound is covered, it is not dumb to carry so many people.

Hoffa kept rejecting the speculations in his mind. Eventually, at a loss, he even took out the glass ball and asked if the self-proclaimed god of nightmares had any clues.

But the monster in the glass ball was now closed into a black seed, and it seemed to be sleeping, and it didn't pay any attention to him.

However, as he put down the glass ball, another piece of glass in this pantry caught his attention.

It was the glass bottle on Bogu's shelf, and he came to the glass bottle, which contained a warship.

Hoffa bent down, slowly sensing that something was wrong, the more he looked at the ship, the more familiar it became, as a model, this was too exquisite, not to mention that the dense masts and gun barrels on the ship were restored, and even a very small mini lifeboat parked next to the battleship was restored to life, the lifeboat was only the size of a grain of rice. That's right, even though it's shrunk countless times, he still recognizes it.

It was the same Scharnhorst that Ethan Dominique was piloting at sea.

A flash of lightning flashed through Hoffa's mind, and he grinned viciously with his teeth bared.

Good guys, you can really hide.

He immediately reached out and uncorked the model of the boat in the bottle.

Tom Riddle was still playing with his wand clasping his nails in front of the mahogany table, when suddenly, a gust of wind hit behind him, causing the chair he was leaning back to fall to the ground, and the wind with unparalleled suction, like a portkey, suddenly dragged the four people in the dark room into the void.
