Chapter 213 The Secret Treasure Behind the Hanging Painting! Is Your Ancient Magic Serious?
"How could that filthy mud-blooded brat know Master Regulus's secret?!"
Kreacher screamed and tugged hard at his long ears.
He stared at Ethan in horror, as if he had seen some kind of monster!
Sirius: ?
What locket?
What is Regulus's secret?
Am I still the eldest son of the Black family?
How come even Ethan knows more than I do?!
Sirius looked completely bewildered.
But seeing the blatant fear and rejection on Kreacher's face...
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately shouted sternly:
"Didn't you hear me! Give Ethan the locket he wants!"
Kreacher jolted, his eyes widening as he said:
"Young master! You can't side with outsiders—even ungrateful traitors should understand this."
Sirius was so angry he almost laughed.
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"You dare disobey your master's orders, Kreacher?"
"Ethan is my honored guest, and a great benefactor of the Black family! I order you to do as he requests!"
Upon hearing this...
Ethan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
A warning shot was given to Sirius Black.
Not bad.
We're on track.
Kreacher was stunned.
Then, his body began to tremble violently.
But under the pressure of orders, they had no choice but to bow their heads:
"—Yes, yes, Master—"
Kreacher, who was originally arrogant and rude, was on the verge of tears.
He let out a choked shout and then vanished with a snap.
Upon seeing this.
Sirius's serious expression vanished instantly.
He burst out laughing!
"Ah, that feels so good! I've never seen that little sprite, who looks down on people with his nostrils, look so frustrated!!"
Sirius took a deep breath.
With the elf and his old mother gone, the air in the ancestral home felt fresher.
The way he looked at Ethan.
It's not just admiration, it's pure worship!
It was clearly my first time visiting their home.
Yet he knew everyone's weaknesses perfectly!
It was as if they had known all along.
Ethan's smiling figure suddenly became unfathomable.
"—As expected, after eliminating all the impossibilities, Ethan must be my ancestor whom I have never met."
Sirius thought seriously for a moment, then smiled and said:
"It's impossible that they traveled from another time and space, right? Hahaha."
Without Kreacher's harassment and surveillance, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Sirius said in a relaxed manner:
"That good-for-nothing will definitely dawdle for a while. How about I show you around the ancestral home first, and we can look for what you're looking for?"
Ethan nodded.
Lift your foot and follow Sirius's steps.
Mr. Black did not say where he hid the notes on ancient magic.
So we need to do a thorough search.
Ethan wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.
He was also filled with curiosity about this ancient ancestral home.
I touched the umbrella stand made from the giant's leg and went up to the second floor.
On the wall, there was a row of elf heads hanging.
"Look, that's the spot Kreacher saved for himself."
Sirius Black pointed to an empty cutting board and said sarcastically.
Ethan looked at the unusual decoration and nodded thoughtfully.
In my mind, I pictured myself hanging a noseless head on the wall.
—.Hmm, it must be very artistic.
Large living room.
Ethan stopped in front of the giant tapestry embroidered with the Black family tree.
I searched carefully.
However, Eve Black's name was not found among the names that had not been burned off.
He then asked:
"Sirius, do you know that about three hundred years ago, there was an ancestor named Eve Black?"
"Eve Black?"
Sirius was puzzled and shook his head.
"I haven't heard of it. However, the Black family has always only kept honorary members."
"Any 'defective product' with even a slight 'problem' will be disqualified."
Sirius laughed.
"Defective product—"
Ethan slightly raised his eyebrows.
Touching the tapestry, I saw one charred hole after another.
Miss Eve Black.
In my memory, he was an outstanding and brave military commander.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the word "defective".
Was it too reckless to lead the troops into battle?
Does the family discourage this kind of "Gryffindor" behavior?
Sirius: "Speaking of which, during that period you mentioned, there was a dark magic madman in the family!"
"He killed dozens of Muggles and even conducted dark magic experiments on his own daughter."
"He had a huge impact at the time, and some people in the family followed him. But he disappeared soon after—perhaps he was backfired by his own dark magic."
"Hmm."
Ethan responded and looked away.
Anyway, he's going to participate in the final great battle between fairies and humans.
A mystery that modern times cannot solve.
Let's go back in time and witness the answer for ourselves.
They searched the mansion.
Ethan, however, did not detect any significant magical fluctuations.
Shaking off a vixen, Ethan crossed his arms and pondered:
"It must have been hidden and sealed away, just like the scroll and the ancient well before."
"Only when it is discovered will an immense amount of magic be unleashed—"
"This is going to be difficult."
Ethan stared at the enormous mansion with a troubled expression.
I wonder if Dog Nose could help with the search?
"Achoo!"
Sirius sneezed.
He rubbed his nose in confusion, thinking:
Ethan felt like a giant octopus was watching him: "Really, not a single clue—?"
Even a riddle or a subtle hint will do. "Ah!"
Ethan suddenly called out.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he snapped his fingers!
Yes! There are hints!
Moreover, it is a very clear indication of Professor Trelawney's prophecy!
When the dusty mansion is opened, when the treasures behind the paintings are revealed
The treasure hidden behind the painting!
It's very likely that it refers to an ancient magical artifact!
The painting mentioned in the prophecy.
Professor Trelawney! Thank you for your guidance!
You have made a tremendous contribution to the world!
Under Sirius's astonished gaze.
Ethan turned around and rushed downstairs.
Arrive before the most unique and eye-catching painting in the mansion!
A portrait of Sirius's mother!
"Splash!"
Ethan suddenly ripped off the covering.
Raise your wand and aim it at the old woman who is about to scream but then stops.
Sirius Black rushed over and said urgently:
"It's no use! That painting is enchanted with a permanent adhesive spell; there's no way to remove it—"
"Curse Stops Instantly"
Before he could finish speaking...
A dazzling red light shot out from the tip of Ethan's staff.
next second.
"Damn it!"
There it was, the picture frame that no matter how hard the members of the Order of the Phoenix tried, they couldn't get it off.
It fell heavily off the wall and onto the ground!
？ ！！
Sirius's mouth opened into an "O" shape.
Staring in disbelief at the painting lying on the ground!
I felt like my worldview had been completely reshaped!
Ethan turned his head and asked, "What did you just say?"
"—I, I didn't say anything."
Sirius said with a look of confusion and shame.
Suddenly, Ethan's words popped into my head: "I can do anything."
It seems that this is not just empty talk.
From killing the Dementors to entering this mansion.
Ethan has accomplished many things that no one before him had ever done.
All that could be seen was the wall where the portrait had fallen.
A wisp of magic emanated from it.
It's the aura of ancient magic!
It was concealed by an illusion just like the one at the bottom of that ancient well!
Ethan's pupils contracted.
An overwhelming surge of excitement welled up inside me!
He raised his hand and reached out towards that aura.
—!
Sirius, standing nearby, took a deep breath.
I was stunned to see it.
Ethan's hand actually went straight through the wall and into it!
No, this isn't my home!
How come I didn't know there was this hidden in my house?!
Sirius Black internally complained.
His innate adventurous spirit, stemming from Gryffindor, also stirred his excitement.
Hold your breath.
Looking at Ethan, he took out a stack of yellowed papers from the wall.
【congratulations!】
You've found the ancient magic notebook!
[You now know about the ancient magical runes' absorption runes]
[Absorb the magic, traits, and even curses and bloodline power of others to fuel one's own growth]
? !
The power of bloodline?!
Ethan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Immediately, the word "werewolf" came to mind.
So, could that be considered a kind of bloodline power?
