Chapter 136: Bacon

The first job of the fourth part is to explore the nest base of the Vikings on the southeast coast of Edinburgh, due to the endless invasion of the Vikings, Edinburgh has been greatly affected by the southbound lines of communication both at sea and on land, but because there is likely to be a Viking totem sacrifice in the Vikings' lair, this job is still very dangerous even for wizards.

The second mission is to recruit brave wizards who go to Wales to steal the Welsh green dragon dragon eggs that like to hunt sheep, the roar of these Welsh green dragons is completely different from other dragons, elegant and surprising, and their eggs are earthy brown with green spots of treasure, the value of each dragon egg is very amazing, the organization of the mission will give extremely rich rewards to the wizard who brought back the dragon egg, under the heavy reward, there must be some Gryffindor dead friends who take risks, of course, there may be wizards from other colleges who like to die and accept this task, such as Will in the skin of Ravenclaw。

The third mission is awesome, investigate a castle that may contain evil spirits, and if there are evil creatures or spirits, expel or destroy them. Hugo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this task for the first time, and he had the impression that this kind of work of expelling evil spirits should not be the work of an exorcist? Now it seems that wizards are also working part-time, and maybe some of the wizards specialize in the work of exorcists.

After a few glances, Hugo's interest was no longer in these jobs, and he slowly squeezed out of the growing number of young wizards, leaving Will and them to continue to point fingers at those jobs with great interest.

"Uncle Brown, do you have any questions about what I asked you to inquire about?" Hugo pulled the Brown Knight to the other side of the path, and the master and servant stood outside the crowd talking in a low voice.

Brown Knight subconsciously looked around, vigilance had been left in his bones, always on guard at any time, and it was this vigilance that allowed the two of them to survive until now.

"Young master, I have inquired clearly, the pen made of black swan feathers has changed owners several times, and his last master sold it to the sprats of the fairy house, and the young master got this pen from the sprats"

Hugo listened attentively, nodded slightly, involuntarily stroked the position of the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and subconsciously said: "What I want to know is that this black swan pen is very well-made, and it does have the breath of magic, even if you don't believe that it is made of black swan feathers, it does not prevent it from being collected and treated as a beautiful magic item, why do these owners want to change it one after another? What's wrong?"

"Presumably, the young master also knows about the curse of the black swan, but this matter doesn't seem to be so simple, not only the wizard family that made him was cursed, but it seems that even the wizards of the other families who owned it later were also not spared, and they were also cursed!"

The Brown Knight glanced at Hugo worriedly, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously he was also worried that Hugo was cursed by the black swan, curses are not a joke, sometimes they will even harm all the descendants of the bloodline, and the viciousness of some curses is really terrifying!

"It is said that the wizard who got this black swan pen will always be inexplicably unlucky, and it will be smooth sailing. Nine out of ten things have changed in the end, as if all of a sudden things around you have begun to become uncontrollable, the more important things that should not be wrong, the more frequent accidents, these wizards who are troubled by bad luck do not know why they have successively attributed the root of this bad luck to this beautiful black swan pen, lest they avoid it and change hands, its value is also getting lower and lower again this time, so that in the end it was auctioned in the fairy house and could not be sold for a good price, which was bought by the young master at a low price of 10 gold gallons, to be honest, the price of ten gold gallons is expensive, even if the young master auctions for the price of 1 gold galleon, no one who knows the inside story will rob you"

When Hugo heard this, he suddenly remembered the black line of writing that appeared on the paper that night when he held the black swan pen in his hand.

'Do you believe in black swans?'

It is quite possible that all the owners who have owned this pen have been asked about this, but only Hugo is the one who has actually seen the black swan, so only he said 'believe' is true!

The family that made this magical black swan pen aroused Hugo's great interest, and he asked the Brown Knight to investigate the family's intelligence, intending to understand the situation in depth, and the ability brought to him by the tattoo of the black swan wing on his right hand also made Hugo very important, and it was very necessary to know everything about the black swan pen if he wanted to further use the ability of the bird whisperer.

"So what kind of wizard family is this wizard who made the Black Swan Pen?" asked Hugo in a low voice.

"I heard that the first to own this black swan pen was the Bacon family! One of their ancestors was a great explorer, and after returning from an expedition, he brought back a feather that was said to be a black swan, and the ancestor swore that he had seen a magical creature in the shape of a black swan, which was suffocating, and made the black swan pen out of this feather.

However, the words of this wizard named Francis Bacon were not believed by other wizards, and were mercilessly ridiculed by other wizarding families, all of whom did not believe what he said, and slandered his family honor, and finally the angry Francis Bacon left the pen and left alone, to find and bring back a real black swan to prove his words, but never returned, and his family seems to have been cursed since he left, and slowly fell down"

Hearing such a story, Hugo's heart couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but think of his own body, the Trelawney family also declined, although the reasons for the downfall of the two wizarding families were not the same, but the result was almost the same, and one day Hugo was killed by the dark wizard or other dangers before Hugo could leave any descendants, Trelawney should be cut off from now on!

At this time, the Bacon family, which was struggling on the poverty line, is probably facing a similar dilemma.

"So does anyone in the Bacon family still live in Scotland?"

"Yes, but the Bacon family is very unfortunate, their only bloodline in the end did not awaken the wizard's ability, but a squib, at this time living in a squib town, life is very embarrassing"

A Squib! That's even worse! Even the hope of a resurgence is very slim! Unless his children become wizards, the once glorious wizard family Bacon will probably disappear into the long river of history.
