Torquill Travers remained where he was, but the others, including Lucius Malfoy, followed.
The dim light in the basement shone on the faces of the wizards with evil intentions, making their expressions unpredictable. Everyone was making small calculations in their hearts, and many people were muttering in their hearts: What if those treasures really
What should I do if the money is still in Bock’s hands? It’s too embarrassing to say that I won’t redeem it!
Bock led them to the corner on the right side of the basement, where a portrait hung. If you study oil paintings in the non-magical world, you can see that this portrait imitates Jacques, the founder of the French neoclassical school of painting.
"The Death of Marat" is an oil painting on canvas created by Louis David in 1793, except that the background wall was changed to a brick wall.
Burke took out his wand, counted the number of bricks on the brick wall, and tapped on the thirteenth brick in the seventh column. The portrait quietly turned away, revealing the dark secret room behind it.
"This is the secret room where I store your treasures," Bock bowed slightly to the wizards behind him, made an invitation gesture, and then took the initiative to walk in.
Several creditors looked at each other, speechless, and followed them into the secret room behind the portrait.
The secret room was small in area, only about a dozen square meters, and was densely packed with shelves. Once inside, it was so cramped that it was almost impossible to turn around.
There was no light source in the secret room, and it was still in the basement, so it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. However, Mr. Bock was very considerate and cast a lighting spell to provide customers with a better view. Not only did Mr. Bock use the lighting spell, but others also
Subconsciously, he took out his wand and provided a light source.
"Mr. Malfoy, this is your thing..." Burke's voice came from deep in the secret room. He took a box from the top of the shelf with some difficulty and handed it to Lucius.
"Ah, okay... that's great..." Lucius said "happy" all over his face, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up. He didn't expect that Bock actually didn't lose his things.
This was a big loss. Lucius felt a little regretful. He didn't notice that Mr. Bock seemed to be a little absent-minded since entering the secret room. In fact, Bock had been counting numbers silently since he used the lighting.
After Lucius took the box, Bock suddenly yelled: "Don't touch that armrest!" Lucius' hands trembled in fright, and he dropped the box to the ground. The box flipped over on the ground, and the lid popped open, leaving a pile of sand.
Spilled out.
A wizard at the end of the team looked at Bock with a confused expression. His hand was resting on the armrest of a shelf.
Other wizards also subconsciously cast their gaze over.
At this moment, something happened that made them sweat: the door of the secret room slammed shut.
"!" A bad premonition flashed through everyone's mind, and the next moment the entire secret room was enveloped in flames. The interior of the secret room would turn into a sea of fire, swallowing up everything.
If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely die if you were trapped in such a secret room, but these wizards were different. They knew magic and were proficient in apparation. So before the sea of fire swallowed them up, these pure-blood wizards exploded one after another.
With colorful lights, and then a series of explosions, they used phantom to escape from this desperate place.
In this secret room, Bock placed a very powerful triggering magic: as long as a person attempts to release lighting magic or light a candle in the secret room, the door to the secret room will close in one minute, and then a sea of fire will cover the entire secret room. Burn everything to the ground.
If you want to enter the secret room safely, there are only two ways, either to come in in the dark, or to use one of Borgin-Bokri's treasures: the Eyes of the Night Owl. This is a contact lens-like thing, which can greatly enhance the night vision after wearing it. Visual ability. Wearing this treasure, you can see everything clearly with the help of a ray of light outside the secret room.
After Mr. Bock came in, he kept counting secretly. When he felt that the time was almost up, he yelled to distract Lucius and others, and at the same time made them mistakenly think that someone had triggered the mechanism of the secret room. When the flames broke out, he would He used Disapparation to escape from the secret room. As for the remaining people in the secret room, Bock didn't care whether they lived or died - it was best if they were all dead.
The purpose of Bock's yelling was to give others the illusion that they were not led to this desperate situation by Bock, and Bock had no intention of harming them. Bock arranged such a complicated operation just to make Lucius and the others think that Bock had perished in the flames, so he no longer persisted in looking for him.
After the storm has passed, he will come back and take out the hidden things. Yes, Bock's collection was not wiped out with the fire. This secret room covered with defensive magic is not Mr. Bock's treasure room, but his. A deliberate trap. The treasure room is underneath this secret room, a secret room within a secret room.
Who would have thought that there is a secret room within the secret room?
At this time, Bock was standing in a dusty room. He stood firm and calmly created a stream of water at the tip of his staff to extinguish the flames on the wizard's robe.
After handling these matters, Bock shaved off his beard, changed his clothes, and put on a pair of sunglasses. At this time, Bock looked like a completely different person. He touched it from under the bed. A box came out, and a phantom disappeared and disappeared somewhere.
At the same time, Lucius Malfoy fell solidly to the floor of his house. The fire on his body spread rapidly, turning him into a burning man.
"Dobby! Water!" Lucius roared in pain. The next moment, a house elf appeared next to him and doused the flames on his body.
Lucius stood up with anger on his face and kicked the house elf away, "Asshole, why are you lingering? Do you want to watch me burn to death!"
"Shut up!" Lucius yelled. Dobby did not delay for even a second - because his contract did not allow it, but this did not prevent Lucius from venting his anger on Dobby.
…
In the White Dolphin Prison, Borgin was gloating and imagining what happened to his old buddy. He seemed to be able to hear Bork's angry roars and humiliating pleas. He couldn't feel any sympathy for his partner's suffering, because he had no sympathy at all. Doubtful Bok is also a bad person. Bo Jin has disliked him for a long time.
What Bo Jin dislikes about Bo Ke is not that he is a bad person - Bo Jin asks himself, he is not a good person either. What makes him unhappy is that Bo Ke's professional ability is really average in his eyes!
