When Martin and his party walked to the window, the old man was still immersed in the knowledge in the books and couldn't extricate himself. He didn't even glance out, which showed the profoundness of the knowledge in the books.

Martin glanced at the man wearing protective gloves next to him, and told him to step forward. This wooden house has no door, and there is only an oil painting painted on the door.

The oil painting of the horned water snake, spiraling into a snake cake, connected end to end, the gemstone on the head is real, this is the most precious thing of the horned water snake, a few letters are engraved around the oil painting, the gloved man looked at Martin, and Martin nodded.

Press the gem on the head of the long-horned water snake, and the gem sank in. The long-horned water snake in the oil painting moved, stretched out its coiled body, its head stood upright, its erect pupils stared at them, and its mouth opened wide. Sharp snake teeth, snake mouth has a keyhole.

If you don't need a key to open the door, if you break it forcibly, the long-horned water snake will come out of the oil painting and bite the offender severely.

Martin found a brass key. The old man was eccentric and refused to accept the care of the house-elves. He lived in such a place where the birds didn't shit, and he always insisted on carrying materials by himself. He didn't trust anyone, and he refused By exposing his address, all the money and materials Cuthbert gave him were placed directly in Gringotts.

But this old man has a weakness. He is old, but his heart is not old. He hangs around those romantic places when he has nothing to do. The person who controls these places in the United States is Gnarlak, a greedy old goblin. On the list, it has always been high.

Gnarlak didn't know who this old guy was, but his nose could smell the smell of money on this old man's body. This old man was stingy with his hands, but the life-saving props on his body were more expensive than each other.

Under Gnarlak's intentional approach, the two became 'good friends' who talked about everything. He gave the old man two veela. The old man insisted on playing. He drank a lot of aphrodisiac wine that night and passed out. In the past, the key was copied by Gnarlak in this way, and the address was also set out by him.

Before Gnarlak could search the old man's property by himself, Charlotte approached the door.

Then after the disguise, Andrew bought the address and the key from him at a high price. Gnarlak, who made money at both ends, was very happy, although he couldn't find anything valuable from the old man's house. It's a pity that he would have been more interested in watching the farce if it hadn't been for Charlotte's curse.

Martin dispersed the six people around the house, and the remaining three stayed here with him and Vivian.

Click, the sound of the key turning the lock, the subtle sound was particularly obvious in the quiet crowd, there was the sound of chairs being dragged in the room, and the long-horned water snake retracted its head.

The door was kicked open by Martin, and he dodged to dodge the de-you weapon that was coming from inside the door.

"The old man can enjoy it quite a bit." Martin looked at the various books in the room, with a comprehending expression on his face, blocked the sight of others with his body, took a few books he hadn't read, and stuffed them in his arms.

"The old man can't run very far, chase after him." Martin turned his head and ordered calmly.

"It's over there." Vivienne didn't notice Martin's small movements, and looked towards the direction of the woods. There were two people guarding there, and the red signal was particularly conspicuous in the dark sky.

"Let's go, have fun with this old man. It's frustrating to dismantle those burst discs. If it wasn't for fear that this old thing would find out and run away too soon." Martin punched the wall, and chased after Vivienne. up.

In the woods, after apparating once, the exhausted old man leaned against a tree after running for a while, breathing heavily like a blower.

The speed of the encirclement was too fast. How could an old man compare to a vigorous young man? Fluorescent lights flickered, and people came out from behind the tree. The old man didn't even think about resisting.

"Which one of you is in charge, come out and talk to me, how did I, an old man, offend you?"

"It's not offending, it's just that someone needs you, so you have to go with us."

People stepped aside, and Martin and Vivienne walked out, keeping a safe distance. The old man took his life very seriously, and first showed his identity.

"I am an alchemist. All you need is money and rare props. I have all of these. I have money, a lot of money. I am also a guest of Cuthbert's family. You killed me. They will definitely not let it go!"

"Oh, what kind of family name did you come up with? I originally thought that I would stop punching and kicking you because you are so sensible, and show the virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young. What's the matter, old man, the family you mentioned is now Did it save you?"

Martin spat, his expression was quite ferocious, and the people around him also approached. The old man shivered and squatted down. He ran in a hurry, and he was wearing nothing but a few protective props, which couldn't withstand it. These dozen people beat up together.

"Ask directly what you want, as long as I know, I will tell you everything." The old man shrank his neck, his survival instinct surpassed everything, and he lost all his previous arrogance.

"I'm afraid it's up to you." Vivienne laughed strangely. Even if the old man was willing to pour out soybeans in a bamboo tube and spit out all the information, according to Alex's suspicious temperament, he would definitely use Veritaserum on him. Can't escape.

"Follow us honestly, and you will suffer less." Martin disarmed the old man's wand, broke it and threw it on the ground in front of him.

The protective equipment was taken away, and all of them were handed over to Martin and Vivian's pockets.

The old man was detained, and he didn't dare to protect his props. He didn't resist the whole time, and his heart was secretly bitter, and his old face twitched in pain. Looking at the unscathed group, he was puzzled, and faced the risk of being beaten violently. asked.

"Didn't you bump into anything when you broke into my house?"

It shouldn't be, those things are hidden very well, no matter which direction you approach the hut, there will always be a trick, and the long-horned water snake has not been alarmed... The old man's expression changed, he didn't care about other things, and hurriedly asked road.

"Why do you have the keys to my house!"

"Hey, don't ask me about it. It's not a rare thing. Is it difficult to disassemble these things?" Martin patted the old man's face, and the old man was so lucky not to faint.

The old man wasn't stupid either, he settled down, and before he spit out his stuff, he was still safe. Moreover, a living alchemist was far more valuable than a dead one.

Forcing himself to calm down, looking through his memory, he knew what the problem was, damn goblins, this lowly, lying race.

No wonder he woke up that day with nothing missing from his body. He still called Gnarlak brothers and cared about his property all the time, (didn’t give much money, and kept trying to prostitute for nothing. Gnarlak didn’t care because he was eyeing his property.)

Damn him, if I survive this catastrophe, someone will blow up his tavern!

Martin didn't care what the old man thought, he kicked him from time to time, listening to the old man's screams, Vivienne approached Martin to catch his heat for warmth, Martin gave her a sideways look, and immediately quickened his pace, letting Vivienne It's empty.

Completely ignoring Vivienne's resentful eyes, he didn't even want to touch this intermittently crazy woman, and glanced at the bad old man who was tossed.

Charlotte didn't ask him to take care of this guy, but said that life and death depended on fate, and sneered, she simply abandoned her son, and raised the flag faster than anyone else, and her boss didn't know anything about him.

Mostly because of doing something that shouldn't be done, Charlotte arranged here and became the bait for Alex.
