"Mr. McLean, why did you come back so soon? Did you ask any clues?"
In a corner not far from the alley just now, Maca landed back to the ground smoothly, and of course Tarino's inquiry greeted him.
"There are no clues, but there is a certificate of deposit in the Dark Spirit Pavilion."
Maca raised the parchment in his hand, the seal of the Dark Soul Pavilion and the amount of 7000 Galleons on it were extremely eye-catching.
"You really snatched Gallon back?" Tarino asked in astonishment.
Maca shrugged when he heard it, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't I say it at the beginning, the main purpose this time is to 'eat black people', and it's just a way to find out clues about werewolves."
"Uh... oh, well..." Tarino said, rolling his eyes.
His employer doesn't look like an ordinary wizard who came to the black market for the first time. Rather, he seems to be more adaptable than himself in this chaotic and complicated environment?
"Okay, I have a general idea of the situation in the black market, and then we should split up." Maca turned around and shook the deposit certificate again, "Do you want to share half of it with you? "
"Cough...this..." Tarino stared at the seemingly thin but valuable parchment, swallowed, "Of course, of course...I understand..."
With so many Galleons, even if they could only get half of it, it would be worth their team completing several tasks. Although the werewolf's stronghold is indeed not easy to find, there is a large sum of Gallon dangling in front of him, so how can he not take it?
Looking at the back of Tarino leaving excitedly, Maca couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really money that came out of thin air, and there is no sense of accomplishment in spending it!"
Just as he was talking, he shook his head lightly again, "It's really going back to life... How is this different from the previous me? No, it seems to be even more boring than before..."
While muttering, he walked out of the alley.
This is the advantage of disguising with transfiguration. You only need to wave your wand to adjust, and Maca can easily change into a completely different outfit from before.
While waiting for Tarino to bring back good news, he will naturally not be idle. Now that I have come to this black market, shopping seems to be a good choice.
Maca just paced back and forth, walking and watching.
Tarino's previous introduction was very accurate. He just walked around casually and saw a lot of good things that he might not be able to find outside.
In other words, there are many dangerous goods here that are banned by the Ministry of Magic.
"That's... a basilisk egg?"
When passing by the dark window of a store, Maca looked in curiously, and found a dark egg with green light, yes, it was an egg!
According to legend, the basilisk is a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster transformed by a wizard when Sirius was in the sky, and hatched by a toad.
Of course, this is just a rumor.
The reason for this strange rumor is probably that the basilisk is afraid of the sound of the rooster crowing.
But Maca, who has successfully transformed the blood, knows very well that the main blood of the basilisk itself should be an extinct species called "grouper crested snake". The weakness of that thing is the crowing of the rooster. It's just the weakness of an ancient magical creature.
As for how the basilisk reproduces... Sorry, they will never lay eggs in this life, and if they want to breed new basilisks, they can only rely on the wizards to go out of their way to reform their bloodlines.
Therefore, "basilisk" is actually just a general term. The basilisks bred by two wizards who are proficient in blood transformation are mostly different in appearance.
"If Hagrid came to a place like this, he'd be tricked out of his underwear..."
He shook his head and was about to move on.
But he heard the howling of a gust of wind in the air.
According to Maca's guess, the black market is likely to be built deep underground, and where does the wind come from in such a place?
Maca raised his head, only to see a luxurious black carriage decorated with golden streamers, drawn by four thestrals, gliding through the air, heading in the direction that Tarino said earlier, "nobles residential area".
"Um?"
Just as the carriage passed by, Maca saw a familiar figure behind the black curtain fluttering from the side window.
"That's... Miss Charlotte?"
Only then did he take a long look at the family crest on the carriage with a gold border on a black background, a hexagram as a support, and a goat horn as a border. On the right side of the magic wand facing straight up in the middle, a long and narrow blue eye made people slightly A little terrified.
That is the coat of arms of the Werther family.
The coat of arms was embroidered on the ancient wizard robes worn by Charlotte and her father when they were at the McMillan house earlier.
"It seems that senior sister's 'release time' is over?" Maca murmured.
For Charlotte, letting her go back to that family must make her more uncomfortable than being imprisoned in Azkaban. Isn't it like a prison from which she can never escape?
"...Do you want to take a look?" Maca hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, "I still owe my sister a meal! Although it's not bad to just let it go..."
For Charlotte, a beautiful senior, Maca is indeed somewhat grateful. As a senior of Hufflepuff College, she gave Maca a lot of care from the beginning.
Even if she knew in her heart that she would return to that family sooner or later and contribute everything for the so-called "pure blood". But even so, she always maintained a cheerful look.
When such a strong girl is facing difficulties, most people can't help but want to help her.
Maca is just an "average person" at least, that's what he always thought.
"Ahem... Luna, I'm just going to help a 'friend' who needs help, really!" He coughed dryly, then nodded to himself, "Well...it would be great if you understand me gone."
God knows who he was talking to!
Just like that, Maca was talking to himself like a fool, while chasing in the direction of the carriage.
Thestrals are very fast, of course Maca is well aware of this. Even if he lost it in a blink of an eye, he didn't care too much.
No matter how low-key the so-called pure-blood nobles among the wizards are, their family mansions will never forget to promote their grandeur.
The longer the history of the family, and now it is gradually declining, the more prone to such stinking problems.
Nowadays, although the Werther family is definitely not a very downcast group, if compared with the past, it is obviously far from the past.
It is not difficult to find the old house of the Werther family, and it is easy to find a reason to go in and sit for a while. For Maca, even bringing Charlotte out is no problem.
But the difficulty lies in how to let Charlotte get a real "freedom".
Hmm... It would be great if the Werther family could lend him the magic book "Abatel" passed down from generation to generation!
After re-changing the disguise on his body, a set of ancient and simple wizard robes took shape.
The style of wizard robes in ancient times was far less exquisite than modern ones. Everything was light, breathable, and easy to move. At most, some embroidered edges and heraldic patterns with special significance were added.
Of course, the most important thing is the family crest. Maca hasn't decided which one to use yet.
To be honest, there are too many ancient wizard families that have perished in history, and most of them are accompanied by one or two historical events worthy of everyone's praise or disgust.
If he wanted to use it to "swindle and abduct"...ah no, to "visit at the door", he had to find a family that he knew as much as possible.
If not, in case someone knows better than you, then it is not suitable...
Fortunately, Maca has read many ancient books in Rowena's secret room.
Although he has never been close to the Ravenclaw Tower until now, and has no intention of contacting the Bronze Kitty for the time being, the information he has obtained in the past is useless now.
Speaking of which, Maca actually wanted to borrow Rowena's family. But although Rowena herself is very famous, the family she belongs to has always been a mystery.
The surname "Ravenclaw" is obviously her husband's family name, but the world knows nothing about her husband.
After thinking about it for a while, Maca stood at the gate of the Werther family mansion and straightened his collar, then pulled out his wand and swiped it around a few times.
Immediately afterwards, a complicated family crest was formed on the tip of the staff, and it was printed straight towards the gate of the tall mansion in front of you.
In the pure-blood wizard family, there are a group of guys who pay attention to stereotypes and bad habits. It is obviously easier to gain the favor of the other party by showing one's identity in this ancient way.
But to be honest, he really wanted to quickly see the power of this coat of arms!
The Werther family has not been a good family since ancient times, but when it comes to notoriety, how many families can be compared with the family represented by this coat of arms?
Looking at the flickering coat of arms on the exquisite gate, Maca inadvertently raised the corner of his mouth as if he had played a prank.
The composition of the coat of arms is quite complicated, without any figurative ornamentation, some are just straight or curved lines, and a large number of Phoenician runes.
The family crest itself is an incomplete ancient rune array.
"If Rowena's ancient books and documents are correct, this should be one of the most unpopular families in ancient times." Maca said with a smile, "The creator of soul magic, one of the three unforgivable curses The beginning of the 'Imperius Curse'"
"The Dihl family!"
The door of the Werther family's mansion was pushed open from the inside, and five or six wizards who were at least middle-aged and above appeared in front of Maca. The old man in the lead shouted out this ancient And disturbing family name.
