"Our shadows in the Hogwarts have been discovered."
In an unknown underground palace, Lancey Smith opened his eyes.
Then, the surrounding candles lit up. It was obvious that this was a tomb.
As Lan Xi's voice reverberated in this deep underground tomb, muffled echoes suddenly reverberated in this deep underground tomb, accompanied by the cracking of the surrounding bricks.
However, looking at this scene, Lancey didn't panic at all. He seemed to be very calm.
"It's much later than expected. It seems that our lord from the same clan is very busy."
The one who spoke was an old man, if he could still be called a person.
His skin was silver-gray as if he was poisoned. He was one of the old men who just came out from the cracked stone wall. At this moment, he was floating in mid-air, wearing a large robe. However, even such a robe couldn't cover his withered body. He looked like a burnt corpse. Anyway, he had nothing to do with humans.
The others were almost the same. Some of them were even strange existences with wings. These guys looked like humans, but in fact, they had been transformed into some kind of life form. They didn't look normal.
The only thing they had in common was the round insignia branded on the back of their right hands.
The emblem of the Smith family.
The people who appeared here were the old men who had been protecting the Smith family for so many years. They were the wealth of the Smith family, or it could be said that they were the products of transformation left behind from the previous era.
The Dark Wizard could transform creatures, and naturally, he could also transform himself. The power of a big family was huge. If they wanted to achieve a certain goal, it wouldn't be difficult.
They survived.
However, in the changes of time, it wasn't easy to survive. They paid a lot of prices to transform themselves into something that was neither human nor ghost in order to obtain a relatively long life. The family that they protected also faced many problems.
Just like the matter of the bloodline withering.
And now, the crisis of the bloodline withering had passed. They began to face another problem, and that was that they couldn't live forever. These people who had inherited the power and wealth of the Dark Wizard in the past could no longer be called human Wizards. They secretly gathered here, seeking to open a new path for their family.
One had to admit that they had really put a lot of thought into this.
But they chose the wrong people.
Among them, the oldest one was an old man. His body was so withered that it was as if he had completely turned into a plant. He fell on a soft cushion and spoke weakly.
"Let's seize the time to get in touch with that child. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, we can't bear the responsibility."
The old man said with an old voice. "As for now, we have obtained the information we want. Next, we have to do these things.. It's unrealistic to wait for that child to come to us..
He has already discovered our methods, but he didn't show any other intentions. This means that he probably doesn't care about us.
A seedling that can become a legendary Wizard is too precious. Old bones like us can do many things, but the only thing we can't do is continue to live. The family needs someone to protect them, just like when we chose to make a deal with Voldemort. We have to make a choice. "
"What if he doesn't agree?"
"He won't disagree. To be able to grow to this point means that he must have some understanding of this world. What we do and what he does have no conflict of interest. In fact, what we can give him is something that the Hogwarts can't give him.
After all, it's just a school. Although we aren't members of the school board, we are inextricably linked to many of the families in the school board.
Let's go directly to him. Don't hesitate. The family can afford to hesitate, but us old people can't. If we're gone, the family will become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. What can we use to negotiate with him? "
The older a person was, the more stable they were. This wasn't because they had enough life experience, but because they often faced problems that they had to solve. For example, they had to think about how to survive.
For example, things like the inheritance of the family.
All in all, things were very delicate. To reach this point, they already felt that it wasn't easy.
They had no other choice but to firmly hold on to Jon, this life-saving straw, and maintain the family's existence for many years to come.
So Jon wasn't surprised that he received an invitation.
He looked at the person standing in front of him. It should be a messenger from the Smith family, but what he didn't expect was that the Smith family didn't use the school's students. Instead, they sent another person to meet him outside.
"The Smith family rarely sends their children to a school like Hogwarts. Compared to the ordinary education in a school, our family can provide them with a better learning environment.
So the child who entered Hogwarts was only there because his parents didn't have a position in the family. He didn't even know what we were doing, so naturally, we can't rely on him for this kind of thing.
Of course, he's also a member of the Smith family, just like you.
And that's why I'm here today. "
"Well, I know what you want to do, but if you want me to do this, shouldn't you give me a proper reason?"
Jon looked at the calm messenger in front of him with a faint smile. "I can more or less guess the situation you're facing now. Don't lie to a legendary Wizard. The Smith family is a very large family. You don't need to ask someone like me, who is related to your family by blood, to help you. So, you must have come because something has happened. What's wrong? Can't the old guys of the Smith family hold on?"
The person sitting opposite him was still expressionless, but his tone was a little puzzled.
"How do you know all this?"
"Don't forget that I don't just have a school behind me. I have two teachers. My two teachers are the greatest legendary Wizard in the world. Do you think they don't know this story?"
This reason actually made sense because it was the truth. These things were told to Jon by Dumbledore, not by Jon himself.
"Since I know what you want but you don't know what I want, then I won't beat around the bush with you. I can help you, but I have a condition."
"Please speak."
The messenger from the Smith family said.
"I want you to help me find something." Jon rolled his eyes and pushed a piece of paper over. "This thing must be within your hunting range. It might even be kept in the Smith family's treasure vault. But I don't care. As long as you can give this to me, I'll agree to all your conditions except for those that threaten my safety."
