The sudden appearance of Elaine was a pleasant surprise.
Mad-eyed man and Sirius had a lot of questions to ask her, but their expressions seemed to have scared her.
She did not say anything, only burying her head in Elwyn's arms.
In the end, only Elwyn could ask the questions, because only he could get a response from Elaine.
"Why were you hiding in the rock?" Elwyn began to look for clothes for Elaine. She was wearing too little!
"I heard a noise and knew someone was coming, so I quickly crawled in. I didn't expect it to be you!" Elaine said pitifully, putting down the wand. "Elwyn, if I knew it was you, I wouldn't have hidden. Are you here to help me?"
"Yes!" Elwyn could only nod at such a random question. "What's going on?"
Harry, Sirius, and Mad-eyed man Moody also looked at her, waiting for her explanation and more information.
Everything that had happened that night had happened so suddenly and mysteriously that they didn't know anything except what Harry had seen in his dream.
Elaine's appearance might be able to answer their questions.
"I snuck out and followed my uncle here. He has been really strange lately, which makes me feel uneasy. Tonight, he actually gave me the wand left by my ancestor, Salazar Slytherin. He said that this wand would protect me from that thing. He told me to leave with everyone and never come back, or go to America, or go to England to find you. He told me to choose." Elaine said, her face was full of weakness, sadness, and exhaustion. "I don't know what happened, but I can feel that everyone in the family has gone mad, or is falling into madness. Recently, panic and anxiety have spread within the family, and they have been affected by it. Gradually, they have become abnormal, and many people have disappeared, never to return. My uncle said that this is their fate."
"That thing?" Elwyn looked at her hesitantly. Elaine's words revealed a lot of information.
It seemed that, for some reason, the vampires had begun to crumble. Many people had disappeared. The "disappearance" here was not as simple as leaving or escaping. Since Keresis had mentioned fate, they were most likely dead. But why?!
He also gave the wand left by Slytherin to Elaine and said that it would protect her.
Elwyn saw Elaine take out a white wand from her pocket. It was about ten inches long and had many fine red lines on it. The end of the wand was engraved with the family emblem of Slytherin. It was the wand of Salazar himself.
As soon as the wand touched his hand, Elwyn felt his Mana become active.
There was no doubt that this wand was very powerful. Just like the old wand, it could release powerful magic. Elwyn had no doubt about this, but Keresis said that it could protect Elaine from being affected by that thing, which was very strange.
"Elaine, what is the thing that you said would affect you?"
"I don't know. No one told me. No matter how I asked, they wouldn't tell me. Because of my uncle's protection, I didn't feel it, but the others heard a voice talking to them. The people never dared to talk about that thing. They said that it would hear them, and if they had to talk about it, they would use it as a substitute."
"Well, is this the thing you told me about the trouble your family is facing?" Elwyn asked in a different direction.
"Yes, that's it!" Elaine nodded vigorously and added, "Everyone in the family knows about its existence. They know that it was left behind by our ancestor, Salazar Slytherin. They know that it is very powerful, but no one knows what it is. Only my uncle and a few elders know about it, and only they have seen it..."
They looked at each other. Things seemed to be getting more and more strange.
A trouble left behind by Salazar Slytherin, but most vampires did not know what this trouble was. They did not even dare to mention it. This thing seemed to be alive, and it was very powerful. It could affect vampires and talk to them. What was this thing?
No matter how they heard it, it was terrible. Could it be a part of the evil god's body that Salazar took away?!
"We noticed the movement of the vampires. What are you going to do?" Moody suddenly asked. He had just reported this to Dumbledore for a long time.
Sirius also said that because they were worried that Lord Voldemort and the vampires would make a move, most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix were now guarding there.
Elaine did not answer immediately. She looked at the mad-eyed man in fear and shrank back into Elwyn's arms. Whether it was the scarred face, the broken nose, or the magic eye that kept moving, they all frightened her. She looked up at Elwyn and only told him what she knew after getting an affirmative answer.
"Uncle asked them to escape to America because our efforts to seal it have failed. There is no point in staying here! There is an ancient magic in America that may protect them from harm. Our people are saying that this is their last chance. If they continue to stay here, once that thing comes, they will not be able to escape! "
"Escape?!" Elwyn was stunned for a moment. "A few months ago, you decided to ask Lord Voldemort to help you get rid of it. I also told your uncle that if you need my help, just tell me. Why did it become like this? Why did you have to escape? You said the seal..."
"It failed. They didn't tell me what happened. They kept it from me. I guessed it myself, but it's not far from the truth." At the mention of this topic, Elaine's tears flowed uncontrollably. "Lord Voldemort did not help us. The effort to seal it again failed. I told Uncle that we should go to you, but he did not agree. He said that the power of that thing is increasing, and the strongest seal left by Salazar is about to break. No matter who it is, there is no way..."
"Don't cry. I'm here!" Elwyn wiped her tears. "Tell me everything you know."
"Okay!" Elaine nodded and wiped her tears with Elwyn's clothes. "Uncle said that for a thousand years, our family has been guarding this place. It is not only to fulfill the will of our ancestors, but also to protect ourselves. Once it breaks the seal, everyone in our family will die because of the restrictions of our bloodline. Since a few years ago, the power of the seal left by Salazar has been weakening. Our family has been trying to strengthen the seal again, but to no avail. Many people say that only the person mentioned in the prophecy can help us, but we chose the wrong person. Lord Voldemort is not that person. Everything has been in vain. "
Elwyn already knew about the prophecy. The vampires finally chose Lord Voldemort. It seemed that they had failed.
Apart from the trouble of breaking the seal, what happened during the process of the relic was the most important thing.
Lord Voldemort seemed to have gained a lot. He actually dared to make the statue of the evil god into his own soul vessel, and even reached an agreement with the evil god.
Elwyn did not believe that he would dare to do this if he did not know anything.
