Chapter 377： Baron Skinner Manor

"I seem to know something..." An idea popped into Sean's mind.

And this thought made him fall into an ice cave, and his hair stood upside down!

Baron Skinner Manor…

At the beginning, Sean learned from Barty Crouch Jr. about the dangerous magic rankings that the Ministry of Magic had been keeping secretly.

In the ranking based on the degree of danger, the tenth place, which is the least dangerous among them, is the Horcrux.

The most dangerous thing is that Sean still doesn't understand why - the blood alliance.

After learning the news, Sean went to look up a lot of materials, and finally found a slightly related material in the forbidden books area of ​​the Hogwarts library.

In a book called "Deadly Contract", the contract magic about "blood" is mentioned.

"Blood Deeds: The 13th Century Baron Skinner Manor."

The whole document describes the situation at that time. The unknown blood pact magic seems to be the bond that keeps the two of them in love. However, in the depths of the blood pact magic, there is another person's malice hidden.

And Sean clearly remembers that the scholars at the time translated a sentence in a notebook left by Baron Skinner himself.

"Hate to take love as the cornerstone, exchange for equal value, add strength to your body..."

And Dumbledore went to Baron Skinner's Manor. After that, the returnees were very sure that Dumbledore would be the enemy of Grindelwald.

The truth contained in this... A terrible thought has popped up in Sean's mind, and it is difficult to suppress.

Moreover, Andros also said another sentence before: "The supreme power is no longer in your turn, do you think you can resist it?"

The supreme power... Does this have any connection with the "Weilijia" in Baron Skinner's notes...

"No way..." Shawn shook his head and expelled the terrible guess from his mind.

He had to visit the ruins of Baron Skinner's estate for himself.

Outside, the wizards who belonged to the returnees have been completely controlled by the saints, and Sean found Professor Rozier as the leader.

"Vita, come with me - Abernathy, you are solely responsible for the next thing."

"Yes, Lord Grindelwald."

When Sean and Rozier returned to Nurmengard through Floo fans, Sean pulled his tight collar and let out a long breath.

"Is there anything else I can help you with? Professor Rozier."

Rozier looked at him with strange eyes, then shook his head: "Then there is no need for Lord Grindelwald to be present in person, you did a very good job today."

Sean shrugged. He first changed back to his own appearance and put on his school uniform.

"Professor, teacher, where is he now?"

Rozier still shook his head: "Lord Grindelwald didn't tell me the details of what happened, but I think you should have a certain understanding of his situation-according to my understanding, he has to hide now."

Sean raised his brows slightly in surprise. As expected of his confidant who had been following Grindelwald, his guess was accurate.

"Then did he say anything else for you to tell me or others?"

"No, I have followed all of Lord Grindelwald's orders."

"Okay, I see... Then I'll go back first, Professor Rozier."

After saying goodbye to Rozier, Sean walked towards the basement.

Walking in the empty corridor, Sean kept thinking about Grindelwald's intentions.

Looking at the content of his instructions, it was obvious that he had expected it. Perhaps, based on what Marshall showed when he assassinated him, he understood something.

And Grindelwald chose to let himself know about this news, so he must be able to guess that after learning this news, he would definitely find a way to find the Baron Skinner Manor to find the truth... This may be what he wants...

In this way, maybe my bad idea is not necessarily the truth...

Thinking of this, Sean relaxed a little. After all, if his conjecture is the truth, then there is going to be a big problem.

Another point worth noting is that Andros's demeanor was obviously intended to provoke Grindelwald and disturb Grindelwald's mental state.

Does that mean that the returnees may have some kind of big move in the near future?

This so-called cooperation meeting is actually a test and foreshadowing for the returnees...

Thinking of this, Sean stopped walking towards the basement, and then changed direction.

He was going to take a look at the headmaster's office in Nurmengard.

When she was wanted in Grindelwald, Professor Rozier became the new headmaster of Nurmengard, but instead of moving into the headmaster's office, she remained the same for Grindelwald.

Even in that office, only Sean who has obtained permission can come and go freely.

Pushing open the complicated and elegant wooden door, Sean wandered around the principal's office, which had not been in for a long time.

It's still spotless here, apparently with a self-cleaning spell to keep it tidy.

"The Complete History of Magic, I read it last time... The Manuscript of the Master of Interpretation of Dreams. I also read this one, but I can't understand it... "The History of Magical Innovation and Improvement", it is not this..."

Sean rummaged in front of Grindelwald's bookshelf, thinking about finding some Grindelwald hidden hints or something.

However, after searching around, I still couldn't find any information that could explain the current situation.

Originally, after Grindelwald was wanted, Sean also went to his principal's office to find something. Grindelwald is fond of magic history of all ages and versions. In addition, he also collects some hidden magic information that cannot be found on the market.

Of course, those useful materials have long been taken away by Sean, which is clearly what Grindelwald left for himself.

At that time, Sean didn't find any special information. Now, it seems that this is indeed the case...

"Huh?" Sean, who continued to rummage through the desk drawers, saw the cover of a book.

"The History of Regional Changes in the Wizarding World"

This book may not be called a book. It is more prepared to describe it as an atlas, because it contains maps left over from various eras. Grindelwald used magic to bind these maps together, and then added the information he collected. .

Sean's eyes lit up.

He had seen this book before, but he didn't take it too seriously at the time.

Opening the atlas, Sean pressed his fingers on the parchment to read the search catalog.

"Fifth century, sixth... I remember that the document on Baron Skinner's manor seems to be from the thirteenth century... It should be a map of the British mainland..."

Turning to the exact number of pages, Sean took out his wand and tapped the parchment.

The paper wriggled and stood up, and soon, a three-dimensional map spread out on the desk.

On the three-dimensional map of parchment paper, there are densely packed roads, mountains and rivers that have shrunk countless times. I touched the nearest mountain with my wand at will. In the atlas below the map, ink was collected like a trickle, and then became detailed. 's introduction.

"Herwellin Mountain, considered by Muggles to be one of the most dangerous mountains in the UK, Muggles believe that this extinct volcano once erupted, bringing countless precipitous boulders and the blue-blue mountain Tawau at the foot of the mountain. Muggle idiots known as 'The Walkers' died by the side of the crater."

"In fact, since the seventh century, this mountain has been occupied by a Ukrainian iron belly from afar, and later an unknown wizard tamed the Ukrainian iron belly, who hated the disturbance of Muggles and arranged various Illusion spells, and also used rock spells to arrange many dangers. The blue Tawau in the mountains is actually the quenching liquid left by the wizard when he created huge magic props. And the only rock path was not made by Muggles, That's a trajectory drawn by the huge tail of the Ukrainian iron belly carrying the magic material stone - Muggles will only foolishly put gold on their faces."

"The wizard lived in the Helwellin Mountains for nearly two centuries, and the mountains were later occupied for a time by two Welsh green dragons. In the eleventh century, it became a paradise for trolls. In the thirteenth century, the trolls Evicted by a group of centaurs. This situation lasted until the Ministry of Magic was officially established, centaurs were considered magical beasts, and Ministry officials tried to name Mount Helwellin as some kind of magical animal reserve. Angry centaurs attacked the Several officials who went there and moved out."

"Since then, there have been few wizards in Helvelin Mountain, but according to reliable information, there are still a group of mountain trolls living in the caves inside the mountains and rivers. These are the cubs left by the centaurs when they expelled the trolls, and the centaurs The culture does not harm foals. The troll cubs formed small settlements that survive to this day."

The detailed introduction made Sean amazed. Although Grindelwald has always despised the secret history of wizards, he especially likes to study history. He can find all kinds of information that cannot be found in the history of magic.

However, this is not the point that Sean needs right now.

He wants to see if there are any ruins of Baron Skinner's estate here.

The returnees sent people to take Dumbledore to Baron Skinner's Manor, and Sean also got relevant news in the memory of the hidden monster. At that time, he didn't know where the long-abandoned castle was. Come, it is very likely that it is the ruins of the Baron Manor.

Sean remembered what the occult's barren descriptive power said: "The old man with the white beard came out of that pile of rocks, he's become more terrifying than any creature, I wanted to escape from that place, but was bound." Live, and the idea of ​​wanting to eat the other party does not dare to have any rise.

Dumbledore's mood also fluctuated greatly... It seems that the place really has something to do with the blood alliance.

And the memory of the hidden monster also shows one thing, Baron Skinner's manor has only been dilapidated with the passage of time, and has not changed into anything else.

This narrowed Sean's search scope a lot.

"Abandoned castle..." Sean muttered while searching on the three-dimensional map.

This magic is very powerful, but there is no convenient retrieval function...

After searching for a long time, just when Sean was about to be disappointed that this place was not marked, he finally found a similar building.

On the easternmost side of the map of this island country, there is a small plain under the strait that faces Belgium in the distance, and a building that is extremely inconspicuous on the map is hidden in it.

Sean tapped lightly with his wand.

The atlas trembled violently for some reason, which made Sean more and more sure that he might have found the right place.

Finally, the atlas stopped shaking, and only a shallow column of ink flew out, converging into a line of sentences.

"Baron Skinner's Manor, the Baron and his wife are actually wizards... Now they are abandoned and have no reference value."

found it!

The strange shaking of the atlas seemed to show that its creator was not very stable at the time, which made Sean feel a little heavy.

But, still going...

Sean didn't hesitate, he wasn't going to go to Dumbledore to ask about the situation, because Dumbledore was definitely impossible to say, and Grindelwald himself didn't know where he was.

Remembering the location, Sean returned to Hogwarts through the vanishing cabinet non-stop.

Then, he pushed open the window, turned into black smoke and disappeared into the pattering night rain.

Flying out of Hogwarts range, Sean jumped up on the clouds, the black smoke disappeared, and he changed back to his body and floated above the clouds.

"Phew, please, give me a good result..." Sean thought silently in his heart.

His body was twisting and growing.

"Roar—" After the low dragon roar, an Australian protein eye appeared.

He beat his wings vigorously, and flew away in the direction he remembered.

…

Above the clouds in the night sky, a monocular stretched out.

"There is magic shielding... but the shielding is not strong. It seems that UU reading is just a legacy from the past..." Sean muttered in his heart.

"Meow—(Is it alright, the wind is so strong— came Pudding's voice.

The picture in the clouds is a bit funny, a six-legged cat leopard stands on the head of an Australian egg white, its four legs claw the scales so that it does not fall off, and the other two legs hold a monocular Before the huge pupil of the fire dragon.

Coincidentally, Dave, who flew down early to investigate the situation, had a thought: "Everything is normal, there is no ambush, there are only a few animals - can I eat their brains?"

"I'll give you a treat afterwards, wait, I'm here."

The fire dragon fluttered its wings vigorously and rushed down the clouds, ignoring the spell that confounded his vision.

During the soaring process, the body of the fire dragon kept getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a handsome boy.

"Huh, fortunately it's not far..." Sean moved his face stiffened by the cold wind, and then looked at the building in front of him.

It looks like a very typical medieval castle, but most of the buildings have collapsed, the bushes are overgrown, and all kinds of stones are piled up together.

Pudding jumped and disappeared into the jungle. This kind of place is its home field. No one can break through the vigilance of a xxxxx dangerous magical animal.

And Sean, following Dave's thoughts, walked inside.

Soon, he found Dave, who was hanging upside down under the beam of a stone.

"I didn't feel any danger in there," Dave told Sean.

Behind the beam, there is a dark hole filled with gravel.
