Chapter 16 An emaciated camel is not as good as a horse

"These ...... These...... And the books on these shelves. ”

Clark weaved from bookshelves to books, followed by Sirius Black.

"I don't want any of them, and I'm going to move out of the rest, no problem, right?"

Sirius made a rough mental estimate of what he was referring to, and found that the books that Clark was going to move were less than half of the entire library, and most of them turned out to be the magical history of their Black family.

"Actually, I don't have a problem if you move out," Sirius replied with a nod of his head, "after all, you cleared my ...... wrongs."

"Okay, a deal is a deal, you can do whatever you say at the beginning, and you don't have to say anything." Clark interrupted with a wave of his hand.

Sirius didn't say anything more, but asked, "Are you going to move these books now, or will you come back to pick them up later?" ”

Clark looked at the books in front of him and said with a smile, "Where do you need to be so troublesome." ”

With that, he pretended to recite the incantation silently, while drawing a circle in the air with his wand in his hand.

The next moment, a silvery-white circular vortex appeared in front of Harry and Sirius.

These are the two psychic abilities [Navigation] and [Matter Teleportation] that Clark has spent 8,000 experience points in exchange.

[Navigation]: Level 4 Psychic Prophecy is an ability that consumes 7 psionic energy.

The powerful psychic power can allow your consciousness to instantly cross the mountains and seas, follow the induction in the dark, and lock on to a certain place thousands of miles away. The skill duration is 32 (Intelligence + Perception) minutes, and the duration decreases as the distance increases.

[Material Teleportation]: Level 4 teleportation ability, which consumes 7 psionic energy.

Powerful psychic power allows you to perceive the weak points of space, and then twist them to form a subspace passage that can connect the two places, lasting 3.2 (intelligence + perception) minutes, and then consuming 2 psionic energy for every 1 minute of subspace passage maintained.

(Note: For the time being, the subspace portal can only be used to teleport soulless objects, after all, you don't want your unprotected soul to be exposed to the gaze of subspace demons and evil gods.) )

Rely on [Navigation] to locate the library of the Puwitt Family Castle, and then use [Matter Teleportation] to open a subspace passage connecting the two places.

Cheerful, this collection of books of the Black family, under the distraction control of Clark, floated one by one into the silver spatial vortex.

After less than 5 minutes *** and 18 psionic points, Clark moved all the books he had picked out.

Such a strange magic that even Sirius was dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect the Puwit family to have such exquisite spatial magic, I didn't see the two brothers Fabian and Gideon use it at the beginning."

To Sirius' compliment, Clark just smiled.

By this time, he was very satisfied with the harvest in the library, but Sirius did not think so, and in his opinion, a few old books did not seem to be enough to repay Clarke's kindness to him.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "cub selling Yetian is not distressed".

"Come on, let's go up first," Sirius led them up the stairs, through the movable door on the wall, and back to the kitchen, "Next, I promise you'll get something." ”

"That's so thankful." Clark said with a gentle smile.

The trio returned to the dark hallway on the first floor, and Sirius looked at him and Harry, warning, "Next, it might be a little noisy. ”

Before the two could react, Sirius suddenly removed the umbrella stand and opened the curtain on the wall.

"Loser, mindless fool, defiled my house—"

Mrs. Black's shrill screams echoed through the hallway again, and both Clark and Harry had to cover their ears.

Only Sirius ignored the vicious curses and began to fumble around the frame on the periphery of the portrait.

Suddenly, he jumped backwards, and Mrs. Black leaned out of the portrait, her sharp nails waving, and Harry was almost caught by her.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Blake said embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Harry took two steps back, apprehensively.

Nervous middle-aged and elderly women, it's terrifying! I don't know how he will get along with this portrait when he lives here in the future.

Fortunately, Sirius's operation finally took effect at this point, and Mrs. Black's portrait was suddenly squeezed out of the portrait, leaving only a little aftermath of "loser, traitor......" echoing in the room.

Only then did Clark realize that the other secret room of the Black family was actually on the first floor, and it was still in the most conspicuous place.

"Only the worst and most vitriolic people can stay in this portrait. Few people have lasted as long as my mother, and even enjoyed it. Blake said helplessly.

"Wonderful, that's a great idea!" Clark complimented heartily.

Yes, it would be difficult for anyone to resist Mrs. Black's swearing and screaming, let alone to take a closer look at what was behind the portrait.

When Mrs. Black vanished, a long corridor appeared on the portrait, extending inward into the depths of the portrait.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Sirius grabbed the frame with both hands and was the first to take the lead in the painting.

Yes, that's right, his whole being seems to have been reduced from a three-dimensional object to a two-dimensional object, and has become a vivid figure in the portrait.

Such a strange sight amazed Harry and Clarke.

The two of them did not hesitate, and immediately followed him into it, and the whole process was very smooth, as if it had passed through a transparent film of water.

The next moment, all three of them appeared in the corridor of the portrait, surrounded by large pillars more than one person thick, and the marble floor under their feet had been replaced.

When the two looked back, a portrait was already hanging on the wall behind them.

The scene in the painting is exactly where they were standing.

The three of them walked along the corridor in the painting, and if someone were standing outside the painting at this moment, they could see that three small figures, one large and two small, were disappearing into the depths of the painting, engulfed in darkness.

And from Clark's point of view, the corridor in front of them did become wider and wider as the frame behind them faded.

In this way, they walked forward dozens of steps, and when they were almost a hundred meters, they suddenly stopped shouting: "Password! ”

Then they saw a wand, coming out of the darkness not far ahead, pointing at them in the distance.

Thinking that he had encountered an enemy, Harry subconsciously wanted to pull out his wand, but was held down by Clark.

When they got closer, Harry realized that what stood in their way was a large mirror more than a man high.

And the wand they had just seen was just a reflection of the wand in Blake's hand.

It's just strange that there is only Blake in that mirror at the moment, not Clark and Harry.

"The oldest and noblest of the Black family, forever pure." Sirius replied indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mirror shimmered, revealing a huge room behind it.

"Alright, let's go inside." Sirius said to Clark.

The moment they stepped in, the torches on the walls of the room burned automatically.

Everything is clearly recognizable.

In front of their eyes, they were also divided into two spaces, but unlike the previous library, this time the two rooms had two heavy rock arches.

The stone gate looks very heavy, and in the center is a dog's head stone carving, surrounded by intricate patterns, with some magical characters, and its own magic power circulates in it, which is indestructible at first glance.

Sirius walked up to the two stone doors, sliced his fingertips, and smeared a little blood on the tips of the noses of the two kobolds.

Soon, after sensing the bloodline of the Black family, the two dog-headed stone sculptures grew with large mouths, revealing the doorknobs inside.

Clarke suddenly thought that if it weren't for the blood of the Black family, even if outsiders broke through the portrait and passed through the mirror gate, they might not be able to get the treasure of the Black family.

By this time, Sirius had reached in and twisted the doorknob.

With a roar, two arches opened their arms to Clark.

"There are two rooms in this secret room, one is the gold hiding room, and the other is specially used to store all kinds of precious magic items and alchemy materials, now, you can go in and choose."

Blake looked at Clark with a serious expression, "Of course, like those books, some of the more dangerous things have also been donated to Hogwarts in advance. ”

Clark nodded, and first entered the gold room on the right-hand side.

Unlike many emerging wizarding families, pure-blood wizarding families with a long history, such as Black and Prewitt, still retain a prejudice against goblins, so they don't like to keep their money in Gringotts.

This is the same as many old men and women in the countryside who like to put their money in jars and bury it in the ground.

The most happy thing for pure-blood wizard families to do is to make a secret room under their castle and then put all the gold coins in it.

Therefore, as soon as Clark walked into the room, he immediately saw several huge boxes neatly stacked on the wall.

I opened a box casually, and it was full of golden light, and the treasure was compelling.

Chests of different sizes contain gold coins from various eras.

There are the most recent gold gallons, and there are also some strange gold coins used in the wizarding world before Gringotts existed.

In some cases, the historical value of the gold coins far exceeds the amount they represent.

However, in the face of such wealth, Clark didn't even blink his eyes, and Blake stood aside, looking at him still so calm, and couldn't help but be amazed.

At a young age, he is still calm in the face of money, and he is really extraordinary.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that the wealth in front of him is actually not worth mentioning at all in Clark's opinion.

After all, unlike the Black family, which has been empty, the Puwitt family is now in Clark's hands and has regained its second spring.

Whether in the wizarding world or in the Muggle world, their family's business is thriving.

Not to mention the family's original main business, the Blotted Bookstore, the Daily Prophet, and the Owl Post Office.

The later sale of transcendent potion shops and magic cards alone made the Puwit family a lot of money.

Not to mention that their family has now opened a new business in the dragon farm, and in addition to the hotel, media, tourism and gaming businesses in the Muggle and Muggle world, these gold coins of the Black family are really not in his eyes.

Sirius didn't know about the luxury of the Puwitt family, and thought that the money in this room would repay some of Clarke's kindness.

Only Harry, who had lived in Clark's house for a while, had some speculations in his heart - it seemed that the wealth of the godfather's family was not as good as that of Clark's.

Sirius didn't know what his godson was thinking at this point, and was smiling and saying to Clark, "Now, they're yours." ”

Harry subconsciously tugged at Sirius' sleeve, ready to remind him of the Clark family's finances.

But Clark just nodded calmly, not deliberately showing off his wealth, "Okay, then I'll take half of it." ”

This time, however, he had no way to repeat his old trick and used teleportation to send the gold coins away.

After all, the entire Black family's treasure room is protected tightly enough, and even the surrounding space is reinforced by magic, in order to prevent a guy like Clark who can use space spells.

He could only pile the gold coins at the door first, move them out later, and then send them away with teleportation.

They walked out of the gold room and went to the treasure room next door.

As soon as he entered the room, even if he was prepared, Clark sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, "a skinny camel is not as good as a horse", although there are rows and rows of shelves on display in this room, but unfortunately, many of the lattices on it are already empty.

Those imaginary expensive alchemy items, magic raw materials, all do not exist.

Obviously, when the Black family was at its most embarrassed, it had fallen to the point of selling off the family's treasures.

But also, if the Black family still had powerful alchemy props hidden in the first place, Sirius's younger brother would not have been sacrificed.

Sirius looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but blush, "Here...... Over here...... There are some good things here, but I've already donated them to Hogwarts. ”

yes, there are some good things indeed.

Clark walked by the shelves, looking at the nameplates: the tail hair of a cat-leopard, the teeth and skin of a Tebo warthog, the claws of a ptarmigan, the horns of a unicorn, the tail feathers of a Thestrals, and so on and so forth......

These precious magic materials are all gone!

Yes, just a little dust on the shelf.

Clark even saw the shadow of a phoenix skeleton on the wall directly opposite the door to the treasure room.

Yes, the red shadow on the wall was obviously the flame element on the phoenix skeleton that had been imprinted on it for a long time.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

He looked at the treasure room where there were only some ordinary magic materials left, as well as some chicken alchemy props, and finally couldn't help but turn his head to Sirius and ask:

"So, that's why you're going to sell this house?"
