Chapter 214: The Werther Family

"Mr. McLean, why did you come back so soon? Did you ask any clues? ”

Somewhere near the alley, Maca landed smoothly back to the ground, greeted by Tarino's inquiry.

"There are no clues, but there is a deposit receipt in the Dark Spirit Pavilion."

Makayang raised the parchment in her hand, the seal of the Dark Spirit Pavilion and the amount of 7,000 gold gallons on it were eye-catching.

"Did you really snatch the Golden Galleon back?" Tarino was stunned.

Maka shrugged her shoulders when she heard this, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't I say it at the beginning, the main purpose of this time is to 'eat black', and to inquire about the clues of the werewolf by the way." ”

"Uh...... Oh, okay......" Tarino said, rolling his eyes.

His employer didn't look like an ordinary wizard who came to the black market for the first time, but rather that he seemed to be more comfortable in this chaotic and complicated environment than himself?

"Okay, I also have a rough idea of the situation in the black market, and then we should go our separate ways." Maca turned her words and shook the deposit slip again, "Do you want to give you half of it?" ”

"Ahem...... This ......," Tarino swallowed, staring at the seemingly thin but valuable piece of parchment, "of course, of course...... I see......"

With so many gold gallons, even if they can only get half of them, they are worth several trips for their team. Although the werewolf's stronghold is indeed not easy to find, but a large amount of gold galleons are dangling in front of him, how can he not accept it?

Looking at the back of Tarino leaving happily, Maca couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really money that was obtained out of thin air, and there is no sense of accomplishment when it is spent!" ”

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, "It's really going back the more I live...... How is this different from the previous me? No, it seems to be even more boring than before......"

He muttered as he walked out of the alley.

This is the advantage of using Transfiguration to disguise, and with a wave of her wand, Maca can easily change into a completely different outfit.

While waiting for Tarino to bring back good news, he naturally will not be idle. Now that you're in the middle of this black market, shopping seems to be a good choice.

Maca just paced, walking and watching.

Tarino's previous introduction was very accurate, he just walked around casually, and he saw a lot of good things that might not be found outside.

Or rather, there are a lot of dangerous goods that are prohibited by the Ministry of Magic.

"That's ...... Basilisk eggs? ”

Passing by the dark window of a certain store, Maca looked in curiously and found a dark egg with a green glow, yes, an egg!

Legend has it that the basilisk is a seven-year-old rooster who has been modified by wizards to lay an egg when Sirius is in the sky and hatched it by a toad.

Of course, this is just rumors.

And the reason for this strange rumor is mostly related to the basilisk being afraid of the sound of the rooster crowing.

But Maca, who has successfully transformed her bloodline, knows very well that the main bloodline of the basilisk itself should be an extinct species called "grouper cockscomb snake", and the weakness of that thing is the crowing of the rooster, and the basilisk is just a continuation of the weakness of that ancient magical creature.

As for how exactly the basilisk reproduces...... Sorry, they don't lay eggs in their lifetime, and if you want to breed a new basilisk, you have to rely on the wizard to rework the bloodline.

Therefore, "basilisk" is actually just a general term, and most of the basilisk cultivated by two wizards who are proficient in bloodline transformation are different in appearance.

"If Hagrid came to a place like this, he would have been deceived into not even having his underwear left......"

He shook his head and was about to continue walking, when he heard a whistling of wind in the air.

According to Maca's guess, the black market is likely to be built deep underground, and where does the wind come from in such a place?

Maca looked up, only to see a luxurious black carriage decorated with golden streams, led by four Thestrals, gliding through the air in the direction of what Tarino had previously called "the residence of the nobles."

"Huh?"

As the carriage drove over, Maca saw a familiar figure behind the black curtains fluttering from the side windows.

"That's ...... Sister Charlotte? ”

Only then did he take a look at the family heraldic on the carriage with a black background and gold edge, a six-pointed star as a support, a goat's horn as a trim, and a long narrow dark blue eye on the right side of the wand with straight up in the middle.

It was the coat of arms of the Werther family.

Earlier at McMillan's house, Charlotte and her father wore ancient wizarding robes embroidered with this coat of arms.

"It seems that the senior sister's 'release time' has come to an end?" Maca muttered.

For Charlotte, it must be much more uncomfortable for her to go back to that family than to be imprisoned in Azkaban, isn't it like a prison from which you can never escape?

“…… Want to check it out? Maca hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, "I still owe my senior sister a meal!" It's not bad to just get rid of it......"

For Charlotte, a beautiful senior sister, Maca is indeed a little grateful. As a senior of Hufflepuff House, she gave Maca a lot of care at the beginning.

Even if she knew in her heart that sooner or later she would return to that family and give everything she had for the so-called "pureblood". But even so, she always maintained a cheerful appearance.

When such a strong girl is faced with hardship, most people can't help but want to help her.

Maca is an "average person", at least, that's what he's always thought.

"Ahem...... Luna, I'm just going to help a 'friend' in need, really! He coughed dryly, then nodded to himself, "Hmm...... It couldn't be better that you understood me. ”

God knows who he's talking to!

Maka muttered to herself like a fool as she chased in the direction of the carriage.

Thestrals are very fast, and Maca is certainly well aware of this. Even if he lost it in a blink of an eye, he didn't care too much.

The so-called pure-blood nobles among wizards, no matter how low-key they are, their family mansions will never forget to promote grandeur.

The longer the family, the more likely it is to make such mistakes.

Nowadays, although the Witt family is certainly not a very down-and-out group, if you compare it with the past, it is obviously far from it.

It's not difficult to find the old house of the Werther family, and it's easy to find a reason to go in and sit for a while. For Maca, it wasn't even a problem to bring Charlotte out.

But the difficulty lies in how to give Charlotte a real "freedom".

Well...... It would be great if the Werther family could borrow him the magic book "Abatheel", which has been passed down from generation to generation!

The disguise on his body was reshaped, and an ancient and simple wizard's robe was formed.

The style of wizard robes in ancient times was far less elaborate than in modern times, and everything was lightweight, breathable, and easy to move, and at most some embroidered edges and heraldic patterns with special significance.

Of course, the most important thing is the family coat of arms, and Maca hasn't figured out which one to use.

To be honest, there are too many ancient wizard families that have died in history, and most of them are accompanied by one or two historical events that are worthy of everyone's praise or spurning.

If you want to use it to "cheat and deceive"...... Oh no, if it's for "a visit", he has to find a family that knows as much as he can.

If not, if people know better than you know, it wouldn't be appropriate......

Luckily, Maca had read a lot of ancient books in Royna's vault.

Although he has not been near the Ravenclaw Tower until now, and has no intention of continuing to contact the Bronze Kitty for the time being, the information he obtained in the past is useless to use it now.

Speaking of which, Maca actually wanted to borrow it from Royna's family. But although Rowena herself is very famous, the family she belongs to has always been a mystery.

The surname "Ravenclaw" is apparently her husband's family name, yet the world knows nothing about her husband's situation.

After thinking about it left and right, Maca stood at the gate of the Werther family mansion and straightened her collar, then pulled out her wand and pulled it in circles and circles a few times.

Immediately afterward, an intricate family coat of arms formed at the tip of the cane and stamped straight towards the gate of the tall mansion in front of him.

The pure-blood wizard family is a bunch of people who pay attention to stereotypes. And to identify yourself in this ancient way, it is obviously easier to gain the favor of the other party.

But to be honest, he really wanted to see the power of this coat of arms soon!

The Werther family has not been a good kind since ancient times, but when it comes to notoriety, how many families can be compared to the family represented by this coat of arms?

Looking at the flickering coat of arms on the delicate door, Maca inadvertently curled the corners of her mouth as if she had done some mischief.

The composition of the coat of arms was quite complex, with no figurative ornamentation, just straight or curved lines, and a large number of Phoenician runes.

The family coat of arms itself is a fragmented ancient rune array.

"If Rowena's ancient texts are not wrong, this should be one of the most unpopular families in antiquity." Maca smiled and said, "The creator of soul magic, the starting point of the 'Imperius Curse' among the three unforgivable spells"

"House Diher!"

The door of the Werther family's mansion was slammed open from the inside, and five or six wizards, all at least middle-aged, appeared in front of Maca, and the old man who took the lead shouted the name of the ancient and disturbing family with a solemn face.
