258. Thieves' belongings, coffee
The basement entrance to the manor villa, where Ramiro and two bodyguards are guarding.
They apparently didn't sleep all night.
The two bodyguards seemed to be in good spirits, but Ramiro was already dozing off.
Hearing footsteps, the two bodyguards immediately looked over.
Seeing that it was Scott, they were visibly relaxed and nodded to him silently.
Scott smiled at them, walked over to Ramiro who was dozing off in his chair, and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Huh?"
Ramiro was suddenly awakened, looked up and saw Scott and asked in surprise, "Scott, why are you here?" ”
He looked down at the watch in his hand, "It's still so early." ”
Scott said, "Can't sleep, come and see." ”
He walked to the entrance of the basement and asked the bodyguard next to him, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”
"Of course, sir." The bodyguard nodded and made a gesture of please.
Scott walked into the basement with his feet raised, and the bodyguard behind him turned on the lights in the basement.
"Uh......h Whining. ”
The thief, Fletch, was bound hand and foot with thick chains, his eyes were blindfolded, and his mouth was stuffed.
Scott took a closer look and saw that his robes and boots had been stripped off, leaving only his shirt and pants.
It seems that Uncle Caleb is still very cautious, taking advantage of the time that this thief is controlled by the truth elixir, and completely clears him of the threat.
At this time, Ramiro also walked into the basement.
He pointed to the broken cardboard box in the corner of the basement, "That's all his stuff, not to mention, this guy has a lot of things hidden on him!" ”
Scott nodded, walked over to the carton and looked down.
"You really should check his stuff." Ramiro said, "These things are too dirty and smelly, this is for you." ”
He handed Scott an old golf club.
Scott reached out and took it, picked up the dirty robe from the cardboard box and threw it on the ground, and used his bat to pull a few magic paths in the cardboard box.
An equally dirty deformed lizard skin pouch, a ring, a gray ring with cracked gems, and a small black lamp that couldn't be seen at all.
There are also some noticeable mana fluctuations in these three things.
There were also bits and pieces of broken jewelry and ornaments, the remaining magic on which was already very weak.
Scott looked at it for a while, carefully distinguishing the magic circuit engraved on the ring and the lamp, and roughly understood the function of the two magic items.
The main function of that ring is protection, and it can generally defend against some less powerful evil spells, but it is not as good as the Iron Armor Charm.
The lantern is a dark magic item that can actively activate an offensive poison spell when used.
Although Scott doesn't know alchemy, he still has some vision under the education of his Ravenclaw mentor.
Both of these magical items were made using the more basic forms of alchemy, and were not great treasures, not to mention that they were both damaged.
As for the shape-shifting lizard pouch, due to its nature that only the owner can open, Scott is unable to remove the contents inside.
Unless Fletch dies.
Scott shook his head, and after throwing away the old bat in his hand, he walked out of the basement with Ramiro.
Ramiro gave the two bodyguards a word and returned to the hall with Scott.
He ran to the kitchen, took two bottles of water out of the fridge and handed Scott one.
"Listen to my father, you want to go back to England?" He asked.
Scott unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip and nodded, "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible." ”
Ramiro grunted several gulps, put his arm around Scott's shoulder, and said with a grin, "My dear cousin, you can take me with you." ”
"Don't even think about it." Scott flatly refused, breaking free of his arm.
Ramiro didn't dwell on it either.
He asked curiously, "Is there really such a big gap between wizards and ordinary people?" ”
Scott glanced at him and chose to tell the truth, "The number of wizards is so small that they have to hide themselves with strict secrecy, all to protect themselves. ”
Ramiro laughed twice, "I thought wizards would look down on ordinary people." ”
"Of course, there are a lot of guys who can't recognize reality." "But sober wizards know the real reason for the introduction of wizarding secrecy." ”
Ramiro reacted quickly, "In other words, in addition to the descendants of ordinary people like you, there are still those who have been wizards for generations in the so-called wizarding world." ”
Scott shrugged his shoulders, "That's the internal contradiction of wizards, most wizards value bloodlines more than ordinary people. ”
"So you've had a hard time in the wizarding world?" Ramiro patted Scott on the shoulder.
"No, I'm doing well." Scott smiled confidently, "Bloodline doesn't mean anything. ”
Ramiro was stunned and patted Scott's shoulder again, "Cool, worthy of my Ramiro cousin." ”
After that, he asked a lot of questions about wizards and the wizarding world.
He was most interested in Scott's life at Hogwarts.
Scott only gave a few brief answers.
In the end, he didn't forget to tell Ramiro not to tell anyone about this.
Ramiro patted his chest, "Of course, even if I say it everywhere, no one will believe it." ”
"Hey, you know what, my cousin is a wizard!" He put on a show, and then laughed to himself.
Scott told him that he had been laughing all morning, and that he was in a better mood.
At six o'clock in the morning, Caleb came down from the upper floor.
"Good morning."
He didn't ask Scott why he got up so early, and after saying good morning, he started making coffee on his own.
"Your cabin is about to be delivered."
Caleb, holding his coffee, said to Scott after sitting down on the couch.
Scott nodded, pleading, "Thank you, uncle, I need to shrink the cabin and take it away, and I don't want anyone else to see it when I cast the spell." ”
Caleb put down his coffee cup and pulled out his phone, "I'll have them unload the cabin at the intersection outside." ”
Scott thanked him again.
At this time, Ramiro poured two cups of coffee and brought them over.
He handed Scott the coffee in his left hand and said to Caleb, "Dad, you're right, Scott won't take me to the wizarding world. ”
Caleb just glanced at him and didn't speak.
Scott took the coffee and said to Ramiro with a smile, "Did you know that one of the most famous children's comic strips in British wizarding is called "Crazy Muggle Martin?" The Adventures of Migs. If you want to be with Martin? Mr. Migus has the same treatment, so you can try to break into the wizarding world. ”
