Chapter Seventy-One: Business
The room was eerie, but the owner of the room was not.
On the huge chair behind the case, there sat a middle-aged man with a rather handsome appearance. His white hair was meticulously combed, and he was wearing a navy blue dress. The blood-soaked eyes were less noticeable due to the increased brightness of the room.
The middle-aged man did not know what he had done, and his face was very visibly tired. However, the tone was still calm: "I heard from the people of that family that you have what I want?" ”
"There's one!" Daphany nodded: "Presumably they also raised my asking price, right?" ”
"Yes, your price is a bit high!" The man said slowly.
"But it looks like the gentleman is going to accept it!" Daphany smiled. If it's too expensive, they all want to buy it. This is true both ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign.
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Just follow your offer." The face of the Heliexs family, even our family still has to give it! With that, the man stretched out his hand and waited for Daphany to give him something.
Daphne smiled, opened the small Kun bag she was carrying, and took out two huge cabinets from inside. It was really huge cabinets, each four or five meters high, and the surface was still locked with chains with magical runes.
As soon as the cabinet was taken out, the whole room suddenly became cold.
"Bundle Spirit Demon Pattern? Little girl, your family has something! The middle-aged man looked at the chains on the surface of the cabinet and smiled softly. He didn't take out his wand, but just waved his hand, and the chain on the surface of one of the cabinets fell off. The door of the cabinet opened, and a Dementor more than four meters tall floated out of the cabinet, and the room that had been cold down again dropped several degrees.
"It's pretty energetic." The middle-aged man looked at the Dementor in front of him without the slightest sign of panic. With a lift of his hand, an invisible force pushed the struggling Dementor back into the cabinet. Then another cabinet was opened, and inside it was also a Dementor.
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction.
Daphany was also secretly relieved. This time I came to Greece mainly for this middle-aged man.
Daphany is currently working on a very advanced magical experiment. It requires a very special powerful and rare magical substance, Death Freeze. This thing is very rare in nature, and there are only some special ways to get it.
For example, in the South and North Poles, there is a powerful demonic creature living at the same time, the Ice Spirit. After hunting it, it can be harvested from its body. However, the Ice Ghost is a six-star dangerous magical creature in the ice and snow environment, and even the fire dragon is a younger brother in front of it. There are only a handful of top wizards in the wizarding world who can hunt it down. And this thing lives forever in the glacier, and if you want to find it, you have to go to its territory first. The natural risk factor of playing away from home has increased significantly.
It's a little easier to deal with than the Ice Spirit, and there's something called Silence. It was a powerful force of dark magic, the product of an unguided wizard's magical rampage. However, as the Ministry of Magic grew, it hadn't been seen in years.
The last one is the Dementors. Dementors are a British specialty, and the Ministry of Magic has been secretive about how they came to be. All they know is that they have been helping the Ministry of Magic guard Azkaban. This evil magical creature has a certain amount of intelligence, but more often than not, it acts on instinct.
There may be other ways to obtain Death Freeze, but at the moment Daphne has only found these three, and the only one that can actually be used by the Dementors is the Dementor. As a result, Daphany had to drag her body that had not fully recovered before the semester was completely over, and together with Draco and Pansy, she set up a trap to capture two Dementors who had not had time to evacuate. After this village, it is not easy to find this shop again.
And even if you catch the Dementors, it will not be easy to get the Death Cryomass. Dementors are not easy to deal with, and magic generally doesn't work very well against them. The Patronus Charm can hurt or even kill it, but in the way that it consumes a lot of its spirit essence. The Dementor was killed by the Patronus, and there was only a small chance that a bone would be left behind - Daphany had one in her hand at this point.
Daphany didn't have the ability to get death chill from the Dementors, so she turned to the Hillies-Axes for help. However, the Cilliax family, though one of the oldest lineage families and very proficient in the dark arts, still had some headaches for Daphne's request. The Helyaxes family are well-versed in potions, as well as the dark arts associated with them. However, none of the potions currently require death freeze to concoct. Therefore, they don't need death freeze gas, and there is no corresponding way to obtain it.
But fortunately, as the top magic family in Europe and the magic family with the most extensive strength, the Cilliax family has many friends in Europe. While these friends may be a little out of the picture, they can be useful at certain times. For example, this Mr. Toledo in front of you! Reed bamboo forest
The Hillies' message to Daphany is that Mr. Toledo can obtain death chill from Dementors. And Deuphanie negotiated the price with him. Two Dementors, for one Death Cryo extracted by the Dementor. In other words, Mr. Toledo helped Daphany get death from the Dementors, and he also received an additional Dementor as a reward.
The price was a bit high for Daphany. But there is no way, even the well-informed Hillyax family only knows such a person who has mastered this craft.
said that it was human, but Daphany was ninety percent sure that this guy should be a blood clan, or a very high-level blood clan. At first, Daphine didn't notice it. But just now, he used it twice, and the magic on his body flashed away, and Daphany actually felt that this person's magic power could at least compete with Moody's! You know, Moody's is the best even among the Aurors. Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew, two upper-middle-level Death Eaters, teamed up, and it took a lot of effort to subdue him under the premise of a sneak attack.
If the magic alone is powerful, Daphany doesn't really care. What really made her very jealous of this Mr. Toledo was that he could suppress his own magic fluctuations. When she first walked in, although Daphany could also feel that he had magic power in him, she felt that she was at most a little stronger than herself, and belonged to the level of a relatively good adult wizard or an auror at the middle and upper level. But when he cast his magic, there was obviously a big fluctuation in his magic! This proves that this Mr. Toledo is good at suppressing his own magic fluctuations! This is the first time Daphany has seen in this world so far!
I just don't know, can he find himself who has also suppressed his magic? Daphne was a little curious.
The middle-aged Mr. Toredo didn't know what Daphany was thinking, and he had no way of knowing that Daphany could clearly perceive the fluctuations of magic power. After confirming that there was no problem with the things, he asked with a satisfied smile, "Are you here to watch me perform, or are you going out for a walk?" The scene of transforming Dementors is not pretty! Apparently, he was happy with the Dementors that Daphany had provided.
"Maybe it's not pretty, but it's a rare scene after all." Daphany said with a smile.
Mister Toledo glanced at her and nodded. A whistle was blown. The Macedonian crocodile-tail, which had been lying motionless on the sofa on the side, got up and jumped down. Mr. Toledo clicked a little to the door, and the door locked. The crocodile-tailed fang obediently ran to the door and lay down again, but the pair of succinic eyes were wide open.
"Sit down!" Mr. Toledo gestured to the couch and motioned for Daphany to sit. Daphany was not polite and sat down. Jingjing obediently stood beside Daphany.
Mr. Toledo also ignored Daphany. Straight open a chest again, this time raising his hand to sever the chains that bound the Dementors. Losing its restraints, the Dementor erupted in ferocity, baring its teeth and claws and lunging at Mr. Toledo.
However, when they reached Mr. Toledo, the Dementors suddenly stopped. There was no intention of attacking at all. Daphany didn't understand what was happening, but she saw Mr. Toredo put his hands together and pulled them away. An astonishing scene appeared, and between Mr. Toredo's ten fingers, five small purple-red electric currents appeared with his pull. Electricity and air magic, crackling sounds.
it! Daphany was secretly frightened, this Mr. Toledo had not used a wand since he first used magic, and he did not use it at this time. Could it be that there are still magicians outside the wand system these days?
Without waiting for Daphine to think more, Mr. Toledo suddenly stretched the distance between his hands to more than a meter, and the five electric currents were also lengthened. The Dementor seemed to sense danger and turned to burrow into the cupboard.
But apparently it can't escape. Mr. Toredo's hands shook, and five currents flew out in a grid, enveloping the Dementors in one fell swoop. Five currents detached from Mr. Toledo's hands, and began to split, and by the time they enveloped the Dementors, they had split into dozens of them, forming a spherical grid shroud that completely sealed the Dementors in it.
The Dementors tried to break through at first, but as soon as they touched the grid. The Dementor trembled, and even Daphany saw that part of the Dementor's body that touched the grid collapsed. Unlike the body that was directly dissolved by the attack of the Patronus and collapsed by the touch of the power grid, it turned into a floating object like black smoke and dust in the number of households.
Mr. Toledo looked calm, as if he was doing something insignificant. His fingers twitched slightly, and the net of electricity was like a plucked string, crackling down the electricity and hitting the Dementor's body. With each blow, a small portion of the Spirit's body was crushed, and then collapsed into a black smoky float.
The Dementor's body twisted and trembled violently, obviously in extreme pain. It's a pity that this evil thing doesn't have vocal cords, and even if it's painful, it can't make a single sound to vent. But that's good news for Daphany. Otherwise, the scream must have been very harsh.
After a while, the Dementors were finally completely defeated. There was no more finished body in the cage, only countless floating black dust remained.
Mister Toledo gently spat out a series of incantations that Daphany didn't understand at all, and the spherical net quietly dissipated. The black dust still floats. Mr. Toredo beckoned, and the black dust gathered like a whale sucking water, and finally formed a fluctuating, black, translucent light cluster on Mr. Toredo's palm.
Daphine's eyes lit up as she looked at the ball of light—the Death Cryogas!
