Chapter 4102 4104【Grandma Yaga】
A bag of gold galleons and two magic rings. Together, these items are worth more than five thousand galleons.
But Xiang Nan still refused to give up. He knew that these were not the most valuable possessions for wizards.
The truly valuable possessions of a wizard are always magic books. Because knowledge is priceless.
So he insisted on continuing to search.
Finally, Xiang Nan found a secret cave for hiding things on the wall at the top of the cave.
However, he did not act arbitrarily, because he keenly discovered that the old witch had placed a curse on the secret cave. Once the curse was not broken according to the corresponding method, the curse would be activated immediately.
At that time, it may range from serious injuries to death.
Xiang Nan has read countless magic books, and he still has this insight.
He immediately tried to break the curse arranged above based on what he had learned, and soon saw the clues, "So it turns out that her blood is needed to break the curse."
Xiang Nan quickly understood, and with a wave of his hand, a wound suddenly appeared on the old witch's body, and blood slowly flowed out.
Xiang Nan then used the Wind and Cloud Hand to get the blood and smear it all over the stone door of the secret cave.
After the blood was smeared on the stone door, there was a click and the secret cave door popped out.
I saw a thick book inside. The cover of the book was smooth and delicate, and it was actually made of human skin. There is also a bag placed on the human skin book.
…
Xiang Nan opened the bag and took a look. He felt sick immediately.
There were actually many bottles placed in this bag, containing skulls, internal organs, brains, bones, blood, etc. Judging from their shapes, they were all clearly human.
The jars were stacked one after another, and there were not only one thousand but also five hundred. This shows how vicious this old woman was, and she actually killed so many people.
In addition to the bottles, the bag also contained some clothes, as well as a large amount of alchemical equipment and materials.
The most eye-catching item of clothing was a shining silver travel cloak. Xiang Nan recognized it at a glance. It was an invisibility cloak woven from the fur of an invisible beast and was priceless.
Among the alchemical equipment, the most conspicuous one is a pure gold crucible engraved with inscriptions. Xiang Nan knew at a glance that it could stir automatically and save a lot of energy. I couldn't help but feel happy.
He is now making money by brewing potions, and the essential thing for brewing potions is stirring. But an automatic stirring crucible is too expensive.
Especially the pure gold crucible. Without two to three hundred gold galleons, it is impossible to get it. Xiang Nan originally wanted to buy one, but now he just saved the money.
There are also many precious materials in alchemy materials, such as fire dragon blood, moonstone, fire-ash snake eggs, unicorn horns, silenced bird feathers, eight-eyed spider venom, etc.
Xiang Nan unceremoniously took it all in his bag. In addition, he also found a broomstick with a thousand nimbus in the bag. This is a 1967 product of the Nimbus Company. It can reach a top speed of one hundred miles per hour and is the best flying broomstick available today.
…
Those human tissues may be priceless materials to dark wizards. But to Xiang Nan, they were just the corpses of a group of poor people.
He will not use their flesh and blood to refine any black magic items, he is not that disgusting. Later, Xiang Nan picked up the human leather book again and saw several large characters written on the book, "Grandma Yajia's Witchcraft Notes".
Xiang Nan was stunned when he saw this.
He knew that Granny Yaga, also known as Baba Yaga, was a witch active in Slavic areas during the Middle Ages.
Legend has it that she is old, ugly, cold and cruel, but at the same time possesses powerful magic. She will ride the magical flying stone mortar to move in the forest or fly in the sky, use the pestle to hit the flying stone mortar to move forward, and use the broom to clear the obstacles in front of her.
Her magic mirror can turn into a lake, her comb into a forest, her handkerchief into a river, her blanket into flight, and her horse to breathe fire.
Grandma Yaga lives deep in the forest. She lives in a mobile hut. There are two chicken legs under the hut. It can carry the hut throughout the forest and catch children who stray into the forest.
After catching them, she will give them a difficult test, such as cleaning her house in one night, picking out the wheat from the pebbles, clearing all the ashes from the chimney, etc.
If the child can complete the test in time, she will grant them a wish. Otherwise, she would eat the children, weave their leg bones into fences, and make their skulls into lanterns...
Because of these evil deeds, she appeared in the chocolate frog picture and became well known to young witches and wizards.
“No wonder she also likes to catch children to eat. It turns out that she is the descendant of Grandma Yajia.” Xiang Nan spat.
He did not think that this old witch was the real Granny Yaga. Because unless Grandma Yaga had the magic stone, it would be impossible for her to live as long as six or seven hundred years.
And if she was really Granny Yaga, she wouldn't be guilty of kidnapping a child in Diagon Alley. With Granny Yaga's ability, she should be able to storm Hogwarts.
Xiang Nan put away "Grandma Yaga's Witchcraft Notes" and then walked out of the crypt. He saw that he was deep in a dense forest. He really didn't know where the specific location was.
But he was not worried about this. He waved both palms together, and the surging palm power roared out. Hearing a rumble, the cave suddenly collapsed, burying the old witch underground.
…
After taking care of the old witch, Xiang Nan put on the invisibility cloak, rode on the broomstick, and slowly rose into the sky. When he rose to an altitude of more than a thousand meters, he saw a city.
He quickly flew over on his broomstick. When he got down and looked at the street signs, he saw that the city was London.
It turned out that the crypt the old witch took him to was located in Epping Forest, south of London.
This forest covers an area of 2,400 hectares. Originally owned by the Crown, it was later taken over by the City of London.
It is full of trees, swamps, rivers, grasslands, woodlands, etc., and has not been developed for thousands of years. Therefore, let alone building a crypt deep in a dense forest, even if you build a house, no one will be able to discover it.
After confirming his location, Xiang Nan immediately rushed to King's Cross Station. Finally, before eleven o'clock, we passed through the pillar between platform nine and platform ten, entered platform nine and three-quarters, and boarded the train safely.
After getting on the bus, Xiang Nan found the car where Lily was.
"Sev, why did you arrive just now? Your mother said you had set off long ago." After seeing him, Lily asked in confusion.
Xiang Nan used floo powder to go to Diagon Alley early in the morning. Logically speaking, he should have arrived earlier than she did. But after waiting in the car for an hour, she saw Xiang Nan arriving late, and she couldn't help but be confused.
“It’s all my fault, I got fascinated by reading in Diagon Alley.” Xiang Nan explained.
Lily knew that he loved reading, so she didn't become suspicious at the moment.
