Chapter 138
Chapter 138
"Where are we now? This place gives me a bad feeling. It doesn't seem to be much safer than the secret place of the Foley family!" At this time, Blanca also flapped her huge red wings and flew to Qizi.
She was not familiar with this place, and the coldness in the air even made her hair stand on end.
"This should have belonged to the secret realm of the Gaunt family. Have you seen the old house on the hill over there? That's the old house of the Gaunt family!"
Keiz shook his head, he also had to admire the sixth sense of women, it's no wonder that the second generation Dark Lord's old house is not scary.
"I don't know this place, but I don't think we should stay here for a long time. My sixth sense tells me that some unexpected accidents may happen if I stay here for a long time!"
Blanca frowned, telling her worries.
It was obvious that she didn't realize where it was, and Keiz didn't remind her, and muttered something in a low voice.
"Don't worry, there is no danger here for the time being, but it may not be so in a year or two. This place may become a lair of a 'monster'."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing! I'm just saying that it's still safe here!"
Blanca didn't delve into it either, she pondered for a while and made a decision, "Let's take a rest here, and when they recover almost, let's leave immediately!"
Keiz nodded upon hearing this, walked towards the old house, and said as he walked: "I think so too, but I still have some things to do before that, give me some time.
Before I come out of that house, you should rest first and take the time to recover your strength. We still have a long way to go. "
"Wait a minute!" Bran grabbed him, "What are you going to do? Is there any danger?"
"I want to go in and find something. If it's dangerous, it should be... there shouldn't be any!"
Blanca clearly saw the hesitation in his words, "It means that there may still be danger, right?"
Keez nodded.
"I will go with you!"
After thinking about it for a while, he still agreed. Although there was probably no one in the old house, it would be troublesome if there were Death Eaters staying here to guard it. It would be good for the two of them to go in together.
Blanca stretched out her hand to pull him up, and after telling the people around to rest where they were, the two walked towards the old house.
Walking and looking at the surrounding environment.
Although it was a little dark here, there was no black mist at all, and they had apparently escaped from that hell—Kiz didn't know where this place was located, and it might be very far away from where they stayed before.
"Is that trophy you took out earlier a portkey?" Branca asked.
After hearing her say the door key, Chiz's face froze.
"Yes! It's just a one-off, and you need to kill monsters to replenish enough transmission energy...", Keiz tried to explain, but he was a little guilty when he mentioned the (pseudo) Goblet of Fire.
After all, for his own self-interest, he put everyone's lives in danger, for which he is still very guilty.
Obviously Blanca knows nothing about magic, knowing that the Portkey is her limit, she is easily fooled by Keez.
"Is that so? But where is that thing now?"
Qiz also remembered that he didn't seem to see this thing, so he turned around to look around, and soon saw it again in an inconspicuous location.
The (pseudo) Goblet of Fire fell next to a tombstone not far from them. It was half buried in the soil, and the flames burning on it were a little dim. "It seems that this one-time door key should be able to be used once again—that is, to send anyone who encounters him back to that hell-like secret realm."
"Are you going to take it back?"
Qiz will not touch it again, "This thing has become a waste, not even worth recycling, just put it here like this! Whoever touches it will be unlucky.
But still do some work! ..."
The long-lost feeling of fullness of magic power came to my heart again. Now that I have returned to the normal world, I can use magic spells normally here!
Just to be on the safe side, he took out his wand and cast an invisibility and defense spell near the Goblet of Fire to prevent anyone from accidentally touching it.
After doing this, Chiz took Blanca back to the dark, old, crumbling old house.
The house sits on a hillside, from which the entire cemetery can be seen below.Several windows of the house were sealed, the tiles on the roof were incomplete, and ivy crawled all over the house with its teeth and claws.
From some remaining places, it can be seen that this place should have been a beautiful mansion, but now it has become damp, desolate and uninhabited all year round.
"As a pure-blood family with a long history! The Gaunt's old house doesn't seem to fit their identity."
Standing at the door of the old house, Chiz sighed.
"What? Is this the residence of a pure-blooded family?"
"Yes! The Gunter family, one of the so-called 28 sacred families, used to live here, and this secret realm also belonged to them. Unfortunately, it was completely extinct decades ago. There should be a village under the mountain that originally belonged to the Gunter family. After we find something, we can go there to rest."
"So you're here to find some kind of magic item that their family has passed down?"
"You can also say that!" Qiz nodded, and lied again in a serious manner. "I also got the door key by accident, so I knew the existence of this old house. You know, it's about some kind of inheritance among wizards. I got the inheritance from a certain generation of the Gunter family..."
Blanca nodded earnestly, and it could be seen that she believed in Qizi's lies.
"Okay! Let's go in. Although it has been abandoned for decades, some dangerous defensive spells may still exist. Be careful."
"Well! Don't worry about me in case of danger, just protect yourself!" Blanca reminded again.
She snapped her fingers and summoned three red skulls.
"Let them go ahead and explore the way!"
"That's a good idea!" Chiz exclaimed.
The quality of the gate was very good. Although the paint leather on the outside was badly decayed, it was still strong, and the skeleton didn't break open even after hitting it twice.
Keiz looked around for a while, and saw a rusty hook with a key on the door.
He took down the same rusty old set of keys from the hook on the door, pushed the skeleton and inserted it into the keyhole. The inside of the lock should also be rusted, and it was very difficult to turn it, but after a rattling sound, the door was still opened.
It is true that no one has lived here for many years, and the airflow brought by the door opening has blown out thick dust.
Keeze lit his wand, and the skeletons went first, the front door showed no sign of a forced break-in, and the windows were intact.
