Chapter 407： The Vanishing Gunter Ring

Chapter 410 407.The Vanishing Gunter Ring

Just when Bella successfully got the locket from Black’s house, Malfoy also brought a group of Death Eaters to Little Hangleton.

The address Peter brought out of Voldemort is not easy to find.

Little Hangleton is a Muggle town, and the old house of Gunter, which is the residence of wizards, will obviously not be built in Muggle gathering places.

Malfoy’s team of Death Eaters searched the town for nearly a day, and finally found an old, dilapidated mansion four to five kilometers away from Little Hangleton.

The walls of the house were covered with moss, many tiles on the roof were dropped, and the rafters inside were exposed here or there.

There are dense nettles growing around, and the tall nettles are all the way to the windows. Those windows are very small and covered with thick old dirt.

The most conspicuous thing is the dead snake nailed to the door that has become a specimen.

"It's here, this house fits the owner's description perfectly."

Naturally, Peter is with Malfoy.

He was the first person to contact Voldemort's location directly, and the ancestral home of the Black family could also allow Bella, a former member of the Black family, to pass.

And the old house of Gunter is such a place that is very unfamiliar to them, Peter must follow.

After getting Peter's confirmation, Malfoy took the lead and pushed open the wooden door that seemed to fall down.

A burst of choking dust suddenly hit his face, causing a person like Malfoy to cover his mouth and nose and frowned.

Inside , some furniture that has been broken for an unknown period of time was piled up in a mess, and the top and the floor of each item were covered with dust.

"Which family's house is this? It is estimated that no one has lived in it for decades, right?"

A Death Eater grumbled, but no one answered his question.

Peter did not enter the house, but stood at the door and commanded the Death Eaters.

"Quick search, don't care whose house this is, we are here to find things, not to archaeology!"

Not one of the Death Eaters here is the group that Azkaban escaped from prison, otherwise Peter would not dare to speak so arrogantly.

Malfoy also followed into the house, but instead of looking around like the other Death Eaters, he squatted on the ground, frowning at something.

Peter stood in front of the door, always feeling that the dead snake nailed to the door looked at him with hollow eyes.

He couldn't help but shudder, and then walked to Malfoy's side.

"What are you looking at?"

Malfoy pointed at the dusty ground.

"When we came in, there was a long trace here."

Peter felt Malfoy’s words strange, and he looked around.

"You mean someone has been here before we came?"

Malfoy narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

"Look carefully, this is not a human footprint, but something like something slipping past here."

The trace pointed by his finger is not obvious, because the trace is not without dust, but the dust is very superficial, and it is far from the other places that give people a sense of age.

"Ah, we found a trace, something unusual, but what's the use?"

Peter said impatiently.

Since coming to this old house, he has been a little restless, and he has not shown much patience.

Malfoy stood up and clapped his hands.

"Maybe it is useless, or it may be related to our life and death."

He said casually, and then he didn't pay attention to this point on the ground, but looked at the Death Eaters who were looking for the ring.

This old house is not too big, compared to the Malfoy’s house, it can even be said to be pocket-sized.

A few Death Eaters rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a while, and basically searched them all here.

"No one found the ring?" Peter asked loudly in disbelief.

The final result was not smooth. The Death Eaters did not find anything related to the ring in this old house.

They didn’t even notice a tiny ring.

"This is impossible! The master said that the thing must be here to take it! Find it again! It must be found!"

Peter looked worried.

He knew Voldemort's methods. If the tasks he gave him were not completed, Peter couldn't even think about the consequences.

The Death Eaters rummaged around the house again according to his orders.

This time they moved all the furniture out of the house, and carefully checked every inch of the land in the house. They didn't even let the two mouse holes go, but they didn't even notice it at all.

These Death Eaters are sure that there is no black stone ring in the room.

Peter was completely frightened this time.

If he didn't find it, let alone the Dark Lord, he couldn't explain it. After going back, the mad woman Bella would have enough for him.

She doesn’t care if there is a ring in this room, she only cares that the Dark Lord’s mission has not been completed.

Then Peter will have to be skinned by her no matter what.

"Impossible! The master said there must be here!"

Peter himself turned over all the furniture that he moved out, and then searched every inch of the house by himself, but the result was the same.

Malfoy was very calm at this time. After all, he was really unlucky. It was Peter who was unlucky. This was a task specially assigned to him by the Dark Lord.

But he didn't just watch it as if he was gloating. The Dark Lord became angry, but no matter who it was, he might be implicated if it had something to do with it.

"The master's words can't be wrong. Since he said that there is that ring in this room, there must be it here."

First, the political stance that the owner is all right is firmly established, and then Malfoy carefully analyzes the possibility of this matter.

"Since the ring was originally in this room, we have not found it now, which means that someone took it away before us."

Peter looked at him blankly, taking Malfoy as his only hope.

"You mean the trace you saw on the floor before? The thing that left that trace stole the ring!"

Malfoy did not answer Peter’s question He looked at the scattered Muggle huts in the distance and said softly.

"We need to know more about this."

Without letting Peter and Malfoy do it themselves, a Death Eater soon grabbed a Muggle from the house closest to Gunter’s old house.

Malfoy stared at the Muggle who had already been cast an Imperius curse and his eyes became sluggish, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"Has anyone come in this room?"

The middle-aged man shook his head mechanically and replied.

"No, no one has entered here."

"It doesn’t have to be a human being. Have you ever seen other things come in?"

The middle-aged man thought silently for a long time

"...a year ago, there was a very big, thick snake, I saw it crawl into this room"
