NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43 Interrogating The Poachers
If it weren't for the cold chill all over my body now and the childish voice that recited the magic spell just now,
Even if he saw his wand in the opponent's hand, Ted could not connect the attacker with the child in front of him.
"What are you doing here for?"
The boy said cold and ruthless words in a childish voice:
"Think carefully before you speak. If you tell a lie, I will let the frost spread an inch up your waist."
With that said, Levin waved his wand threateningly, and Ted's wrist was also covered by a mass of ice, making him unable to move.
Stimulated by the ice, no matter how drunk he was, he woke up.
Although I don’t understand what spell the other party just cast,
But realizing that the other party really had the ability to control the ice, Ted was really panicked.
He knew very well that if the ice spread two inches further to his waist, it would cover those words.
Those words are much more fragile than hands and feet.
If you are frozen like this, there are only two endings:
Either you will never get hard, or you will never get hard.
He doesn't want to do anything.
So he immediately trembled and said with trembling words in fear: "We are a group of tomb robbers... We came here to steal the funerary objects... Please forgive me... This gentleman... Uh-huh!!"
Before he finished speaking, he felt the cold air spreading upward an inch,
Now even a pair of Ringo can feel the chill.
"Hmph, you are indeed dishonest. You came to Moonstone Garden to rob tombs...Are you bullying me for being young and uneducated?"
"You...what are you doing?"
When he heard the words "Moonstone Garden" appear in the other party's mouth, Ted knew that he could not hide it from the other party.
You know, even his boss found this name in a forgotten history after looking through countless old books.
Now that this secret was revealed casually by the other party, it showed that the other party was more powerful than he imagined.
Then their actions are probably under the control of the other party.
I just don’t know whether the other party is from the Ministry of Magic or...
Ted kept thinking in his mind, but apologized again and again:
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to lie... I'm sorry. Actually, we don't have any conflicts, right? If you can let me go, we will be very grateful... ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
This time, before he could finish speaking, he felt the ice on his wrist begin to spread until it froze his entire arm.
"You answer whatever I ask, and if I don't ask you just shut up...or you can choose to give up your arm."
"No...no...don't...I was wrong...just ask, I will answer whatever you ask!"
This time, Ted was really scared.
The other party's ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing at the slightest disagreement are not at all like a child of this age.
He seriously suspected that this was some old man who had returned to youth.
But no matter what, Ted no longer dared to have any ideas of his own at this time,
Levin answers whatever he asks,
It didn't take long for Levin to figure out who he was dealing with.
It turns out that these two people are not dark wizards, but belong to a group of poachers.
Poachers in the magical world are similar to those in the Muggle world.
It's just that they poached magical creatures, while Muggle poachers hunted ordinary animals.
They are also poachers, but these people in the magical world are far more extreme and more powerful than their counterparts in the Muggle world.
They say that high profits can make people lose their minds.
The rate of return for poaching in the magical world is much higher than that in the Muggle world.
After all, for Muggles who have achieved industrialization, the furs of rare birds and beasts can only be used as decorations.
But the materials in magical animals can really make powerful alchemical products and potions!
This makes the poachers in the magical world quite crazy.
Especially after the promulgation of the confidentiality law,
The struggle between poachers and the Ministry of Magic has intensified, almost reaching the point of tit-for-tat.
Many poacher organizations are no longer even satisfied with petty theft, but simply dominate the mountains and occupy places like castles as their bases, openly confronting the Ministry of Magic.
The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were the most rampant years for poachers in the wizarding world.
Originally the Great Yin was like this,
until the end of the nineteenth century.
In that hidden history, the entire gang of dark wizards and poachers around Hogwarts disappeared for unknown reasons.
This directly led to Da Yin’s poacher organization being silent for nearly a hundred years.
The dark wizards only rose again with the emergence of two generations of Dark Lords.
According to Ted, their boss Picol Curtis is descended from a powerful group of poachers.
His ancestors were once powerful men near Hogwarts, but for some reason they suddenly went dormant a hundred years ago.
It was not until a few decades ago that, taking advantage of the rise of the Dark Lord, Picol returned to his family's old business and gathered a group of younger brothers to engage in poaching.
The reason why he came here is because Picol learned about the treasures here from the classics left at home.
It is said that this treasure is related to centaurs and the almost extinct magical creature Golden Snidget.
The Golden Snidget is an extremely rare and specially protected bird.
Its body is round and round, its mouth is particularly slender, and its eyes are sparkling like rubies.
This is an extremely fast flying bird that can change its flight direction with incredible speed and skill because the joints of its wings can flexibly rotate.
In the original Quidditch, the Seeker was not chasing the Golden Snitch, but the living Snitch.
As the sport of Quidditch spread, the number of Gold Snidgets dwindled until they were on the verge of extinction.
Nowadays, because Golden Snidgets are extremely endangered, they are protected animals all over the world and are strictly protected.
Therefore, if they can get the Golden Feixia, it will be an absolute huge profit for their poacher organization.
So Picol Curtis came here with eight of his men.
After understanding the causes and consequences of the poachers, Levin nodded:
"I have a general understanding of the situation of you and your accomplices, but you never mentioned the Auror you met. How is she?"
Hearing this, Ted's body began to tremble again, and his face was as pale as a layer of white frost: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I... I just forgot to mention that Thing...don't let the ice spread anymore..."
This time his panic was genuine;
He really didn't expect that this boy actually knew about Aurors.
This once again proved the other party's magical power, and their every move was under the surveillance of the other party.
He was also really afraid that the other party would think that he deliberately didn't mention the Aurors.
Levin pouted, feeling a little funny in his heart. This burly man was really scared of him.
On one side, he still maintained an indifferent expression: "Shut up, just tell me what happened to that Auror!"
"yes!"
Ted immediately stopped crying and talked about the Aurors tremblingly: "We... we met her by accident before we came in... The Disguise Magus, she tried to disguise herself as a nearby villager, and we discovered it. , we captured her, but we didn’t do anything to her because the boss was eager to explore the ruins, so we just tied her up and locked her in a separate room.”
Having said this, the wizard swallowed and continued: "That... Auror is very young. It is said that he just graduated this year. He has pink hair and is very conspicuous."
Levin nodded after hearing this. He had already guessed who this Auror was.
"Last question, do any of you carry gryphon-related items with you?"
The wizard was silent for a moment, and when Levin was almost impatient, he quickly answered: "Yes, yes, our Picol has a pendant made of a gryphon's beak. He always carries that thing on his chest, often like us Show off. He said it was passed down from his family and represents the glorious past of the Curtis family."
Does their glorious past prove that they once poached a gryphon? It was indeed something a family of poachers could do.
Levin nodded, and now the goal of this trip was clear.
According to a third person, since the treasure is in your hands,
Then you have a way to die.
