Allen's hand shook slightly, and he grabbed the end of the chain. The octagonal metal pendant appeared in front of Klitscher. Klitscher was stunned, and he burst into tears. It was difficult for him to control his emotions.
The pendant was supported by an S at the front, and a long inscription was engraved on the back of the pendant. A green gemstone with a snakeskin pattern was embedded in the pendant. Around the gemstone were engraved astrological symbols and notations. These symbols involved the measurement of the relative angles of the planets and the relationship between them. A circular symbol and other symbols were also engraved on the pendant. A curved metal wire was wrapped tightly around the pendant, connecting it to a main body that looked like a snake.
Klitscher wiped his teary eyes with his hand. "Master Regulus gave this to me! You found it! Klitscher made a mistake. Klitscher failed to carry out the master's orders and lost it! "
Sirius looked at the pendant suspiciously. Based on his memory, he guessed that Allen had most likely obtained it during the deal that cleared his name in the third grade. He shrugged and didn't mind. In fact, if Allen wanted to, he could take everything away. Of course, if that happened, Sirius thought that he would really have to go out and work for someone else.
"Klitscher, do you know where it came from? What does Regulus have to do with it? Tell me everything you know, including the pendant and Regulus's relationship with it. " Allen didn't rush him. He patiently waited for him to calm down before asking. Then he pointed to the pendant and said to Sirius, who was looking at him inquisitively, "This pendant your brother got is amazing. It should be a relic of Salazar Slytherin himself."
"Why didn't you tell me? We haven't heard anything about Regulus for so many years, "Sirius roared, looking at Klitscher angrily.
"Master Regulus went missing, and the mistress went crazy with grief, but Klitscher couldn't tell her what happened. He couldn't, because Master Regulus forbade him to tell his family what happened in the cave," Klitscher said, choking with sobs. "Klitscher promised Master Regulus not to tell!"
"I order you to tell me!" Sirius was annoyed that he hadn't noticed the clue that had been right beside him all along.
"Sirius, don't interrupt! Let me ask! " Allen hurriedly stopped another round of argument before Hermione could plead and the house elf hurt himself. "Klitscher, your master Regulus' order to not tell your family, that is, Blake... but I'm not a 'family' member, so if I ask you, you won't tell me what happened. you don't violate his order.."
Klitscher was stunned, as if he was considering whether to use this loophole to violate his master's order.
Just as Sirius couldn't help but urge him, Klitscher wiped the tears off his face. When he spoke again, his voice was muffled, but it could be heard clearly in the quiet living room.
"Ever since Young Master Sirius escaped, my mistress' heart has been broken. But Master Regulus knew what the name Blake and his pure bloodline meant. Master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's organization, and he was so happy and proud. Until one day, Master Regulus came to the kitchen to visit Klitscher. He said that the Dark Lord wanted a little elf. Master Regulus offered Klitscher to him. " The old elf's voice was a little hoarse. "Master Regulus said that it was an honor for him and Klitscher. Klitscher had to do whatever the Dark Lord wanted him to do, and then go home."
"What did the Dark Lord want you to do?" Allen leaned forward and asked.
Klitscher's breathing quickened, and he sobbed again. "… There was a boat … We reached the island in the middle of the lake … There was a stone basin full of potions. Black … The Dark Lord wanted Klitscher to drink. “
Klitscher was trembling all over, and his low voice trembled as well. "Klitscher, be obedient and drink all the magic potion. It's just that when I drank it, there were many terrifying scenes … The magic potion burned my heart. Klitscher felt extremely thirsty, as if his organs were on fire … But no matter how much Klitscher pleaded, the Black Devil King only laughed. After the stone basin was empty, the Dark Lord threw a locket into it, and then filled it with potions. Klitscher needed water, so he crawled to the edge of the island to drink from the black lake … Many dead people's hands dragged Klitscher down … "
"Oh, poor Klitscher." Hermione couldn't bear it. She couldn't imagine the pain and despair that the little elf had suffered at that time. "How did you escape?"
Klitscher looked at the necklace and snorted coldly. Although he didn't curse Hermione again, he didn't want to respond to her words either.
"Regulus, look at your decision. What kind of idiot are you following!" Sirius' disdainful tone made Klitscher furious. He widened his bloodshot eyes, pointed a finger, and said to Sirius in a threatening manner, "You are not allowed to slander Young Master Regulus! You wastrel can't compare to him at all! "
"What about Regulus? What did he say when he found out? What did he do? " Sirius was anxious to know about his brother, so he didn't care about Klitscher's comparisons and insults. But Klitscher didn't answer his question about Regulus at all.
Allen glanced at Sirius, then deliberately "copied and pasted" his question to ask Klitscher again.
"Young Master Regulus was very worried. He told Klitscher to hide at home and not go anywhere … After a while, Young Master Regulus found Klitscher. Klitscher could see that he was in a mess … He asked Klitscher to take him to the cave of the Dark Lord."
"He's a fool. Why did he go there himself?" Sirius slammed his fist on the sofa with a bang. He had a bad feeling. This serious violation of the will of the Dark Lord was not a good sign for his brother's situation.
Sirius paused. He clearly felt that the devil's contract he had signed with Allen had been completed. Allen had provided him with information about Regulus, and he had to trade Klitscher to Allen. Now that he knew that Regulus was at the island in the middle of the lake where the Dark Lord had gone, the contract had been completed. Now, Klitscher's master had changed to Allen Harris.
Sirius turned his head to Klitscher and said, "After today's matter, you will leave with Allen. You will no longer belong to the Blake Family."
Completely unprepared for this, Klitscher's big eyes suddenly looked at Sirius. After a few seconds, his eyes were full of unforgettable hatred. His chest, which was so thin that his ribs could be seen, rose and fell rapidly. "How many things are you going to ruin in the family, you wastrel! Klitscher will always belong to the ancient and noble Blake Family! Young Master, you can't do this. Your name has been removed from the tapestry by the mistress!
"You've ruined the family's collection for so many generations!" The house elf trembled and swayed as he cursed Sirius at the top of his lungs. He let out a blood-curdling scream. "My poor mistress, your loyal old Klitscher is about to be chased away by that ungrateful wastrel … Klitscher must never leave the Blake Family."
Sirius and Allen were a little embarrassed. One of them had lost the collection that the Blake Family had worked so hard to accumulate for countless generations, while the other had obtained the collection that the Blake Family had worked so hard to accumulate for countless generations.
"Klitscher has made a mistake. Klitscher can't carry out Young Master's orders! Klitscher can't leave the Blake Family! "Klitscher rushed to the poker standing by the stove and hit himself hard on the head with it.
Hermione suddenly jumped up from the sofa and threw herself in front of the elf, grabbing his shoulders tightly. "Stop, don't hurt yourself," Hermione screamed, but her voice was quickly drowned out by Klitscher's cries.
"Klitscher touched Klitscher and Klitscher didn't allow it. What will the mistress say?" Klitscher desperately pushed Hermione away, but he couldn't do anything about her monstrous strength. His voice was filled with obvious weariness and disdain.
"It's okay, I don't care. This sudden news is like a bolt from the blue for him. He's just too sad." Hermione hurriedly turned to explain to Allen and Sirius, afraid that Klitscher would be punished.
"Klitscher, I order you not to move!" As the host, Sirius was furious that a guest had been insulted, but Klitscher continued to struggle and scream. His movements were not hindered in any way.
When Allen saw the repulsive and ugly appearance of the elf, he wanted to order Klitscher to stop by force. But when he saw Hermione's compassionate and benevolent expression, he paused and softened his tone. "Klitscher, stop. I still have something to ask you about Regulus Blake. You also want your former master's efforts to not be in vain, right?"
The elf immediately froze. He lay upright on the cold stone floor, tears gushing out of his sunken eyes. He looked even sadder than when he tried to kill himself earlier. Klitscher found that he was beginning to be bound by Allen's orders, which meant that he had a new master.
Hermione looked at Klitscher with sympathy. At the same time, she could finally let go of him. This was a good thing for her and Klitscher.
