One person ascends to the Pure Huang Court

The surface of the box is intricately carved with rose vines. The roses are in bud, and the petals made of rubies are crystal clear, as red as the shyness on a lover's face, and are even more gorgeous against the backdrop of turquoise vines.

The gold box is a double-opening box. On the two small "doors" on the top cover, there are carvings of several swallowtail butterflies with patterns on their wings that look like orchids and water waves.

The pale blue swallowtail butterflies fly over the gold, giving the originally tacky gold a touch of artistic sense. At the same time, the swallowtail butterflies chase and play with each other in the seams of the box, locking the golden little box tightly. It serves as both an embellishment and a lock for the gold box.

The gemstones that make up the patterns on the wings of the swallowtail butterfly contain hidden energy, and violent removal will result in the destruction of both the gemstone and the wings.

Hu Xiuwu picked up the heavy jewelry box that combined luxury and artistic sense, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

As expected, Nicolas Flamel, the great alchemist from the city of art who created the Philosopher's Stone, even made the box that holds the magic weapon so gorgeous and extravagant.

The entire box is made of pure gold and is inlaid with priceless red, blue sapphires and turquoise. Although this box is not an antique, its material and craftsmanship can fetch a good price in auctions in various countries.

“Flowers are blooming!”

Dumbledore chanted a spell, and a beautiful rose bloomed on the tip of the old wand in his hand, and there seemed to be dew on it.

Dumbledore used the rose to gently sweep towards the lid of the box. The swallowtail butterflies that were originally entangled with the rose were attracted by the flowers, smelled the fragrance, and chased the flowers like moths to a flame. Dumbledore led the swallowtail butterflies on the lid all the way to the roses around the golden box.

Swallowtail butterflies fly over and the flowers bloom in time to attract the butterflies. Some swallowtail butterflies rest on the petals, while others dance among the flowers like elves.

The swallowtail butterfly lock was captured by the rose, and the lid of the golden box opened like a butterfly, revealing the lining.

Faced with this ingenious design, Hu Xiuwu also praised: "Master Nicolas Flamel is such a humorous person. Even the method of unlocking the box is so interesting."

Dumbledore said, "This is his style. When Nico was young, he often copied scriptures for nobles and went in and out of the court. Over time, he developed such a luxurious and exquisite artistic style. He also likes to watch opera."

"Okay, come and look at your stuff."

The lining of the gold box is made of soft black velvet. This material not only protects the contents of the box, but the black color also brings out the brilliant luster of the gemstones. It is the first choice for jewelers to display their products.

In the center of the gold wall and black velvet is a bracelet. The entire bracelet is carved into a dragon with a long snout and eyes. Long horns are tightly attached to the head and curved like antelope horns. It has flying mane, no feet or claws, and a slender body. There is also a dragon ball inlaid under the dragon's chin.

The entire bracelet is like flawless jade, like a cold pond after a spring rain. On the clear green lake surface is floating a layer of colorful rainbow light, like cloud brocade woven by a goddess.

This is the magic instrument made by Nicolas Flamel according to Hu Xiuwu's request. Fortunately, Nicolas Flamel had traveled to the East in his early years, otherwise it would not have been possible to make it in an antique and charming way according to the client's requirements.

Just as Hu Xiuwu reached into the box to take out the bracelet, the dragon came to life, twisting its body in the box, crawling around in circles following the tip of its tail, and occasionally rubbing the wall of the box with its horns and the dragon ball on its lower jaw, causing sparks to fly, as if it was not quite used to this new body.

Hu Xiuwu called softly, "Yu Jingzi."

There was a sense of coolness hidden in the voice. Hu Xiuwu used the Heart Purification Mantra attached to the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts to help Yu Jingzi, who had just awakened, calm his mind.

Hu Xiuwu's call was like the cold wind in October that penetrated into the bracelet and blew on Yu Jingzi's soul, making Yu Jingzi, whose mind was originally confused, shiver as if drinking ice in winter, and barely woke up.

As soon as Yu Jingzi woke up, the first thing he saw was a jade pillar standing in front of him, which exuded a sense of intimacy. He climbed up from the gap in the Five Finger Mountain involuntarily and coiled around the jade pillar like a coiled dragon in the imperial palace.

After rubbing Hu Xiuwu's left wrist affectionately with its smooth mane, it fell into a deep sleep again. Its body had just been sublimated, and as a young spirit less than a hundred years old, it still needed more time to adapt.

Touching the dragon bracelet with a pearl in its mouth on his wrist, Hu Xiuwu nodded with satisfaction.

Although this bracelet seems to be about the same size as the previous Three Corpse Needles, Nicolas Flamel actually incorporated all the essence of the half-millennium basilisk body into it, making it not only stronger and sharper than before, but also gaining two new abilities.

One of the abilities was named [Amorphous] by Hu Xiuwu.

The dragon has no fixed shape. When it is combined, it forms a body; when it is dispersed, it forms a pattern. It rides on the clouds and nourishes the yin and yang.

Yu Jingzi can automatically stimulate the essence of the thousand-year-old basilisk condensed in the bracelet by Nicolae, and reveal it to the outside and transform it into a dragon.

The strength of the transformed dragon's muscles and bones are the same as those of the snake monster in his previous life, and different from the poisonous python that Yu Jingzi transformed into when he manifested his Yin body before, this method is neither Yin nor Yang, it is neutral and peaceful, and the essence of the transformed dragon is more like the protective Qi light like the Golden Light Mantra, and is no longer restrained by the pure Yang and majestic techniques such as Thunder Method.

The second ability, Hu Xiuwu named it [Lizhu Naqi],

This feature was specifically requested by Hu Xiuwu, and it was also the reason why Nicolas Flamel took so long to create it.

The Three Corpse Needles originally did not have this type of ability, and adding new functions to a magical weapon is a very time-consuming process.

The Lizhu absorbs Qi. The dragon can rely on the dragon ball to absorb all kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth for its own cultivation. The Lizhu on the bracelet also has a similar effect. It can store various forms of Qi input by Hu Xiuwu, including sword Qi, Three Corpse Qi, and Tushita Fire.

Even the completed Jade Hook and the Three-fold Jade Mirror can be absorbed into it, and their forms will not disperse, and all the Qi will be stored in the Lizhu.

Simply put, it is a spell slot that can store moves in advance. The current stock of Lizhu is at least as big as two of Hu Xiuwu's dantians.

It can be seen that Hu Xiuwu is very satisfied with this magic weapon. Dumbledore reminded Hu Xiuwu who was playing with the bracelet happily:

"It hasn't been named yet. Please give this magical weapon a new name."

Hu Xiuwu raised his head and thought for a moment: "This magic weapon was born from the Three Corpse Needles. I want to name it Three Thousand Feet."

The dragon's body is three thousand feet long, and its sword energy is like a three thousand foot waterfall.

Although he didn't really understand the meaning of the names Hu Xiuwu came up with, Dumbledore still praised: "Good names."

The magic weapon Three Thousand Feet had been handed over to him, but Dumbledore didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Hu Xiuwu understood that today's matter was not over yet, and Dumbledore had other matters to discuss with him.

He sat down opposite Dumbledore and took the golden box on the table. Even if the box was not a rare magical weapon, it was still a luxurious and exquisite work of art. It would be a waste if he didn't take it.

Besides, it’s the packaging box of my own magic weapon, why not take it?

Dumbledore didn't take this little thing to heart at all and turned a blind eye to it: "I want to ask you for help with something."

Dumbledore needs my help?

Hu Xiuwu did not rashly agree: "Mr. Dumbledore, do you need my help with anything?"

"Even Merlin couldn't save King Arthur, so of course there are things I can't do. Wizards are not gods, and there are many things they can't do." Dumbledore sighed, thinking of his sister and his lover, but he quickly calmed down and said solemnly:

"There's news from Behemoth. They found out who's behind this."

"Death Eaters."

Chapter 281 The Eagle Returns to the Nest

"Behemoth???"

"The thief shouts "Catch the thief!"

Hearing such explosive and unexpected news suddenly, even Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but curse.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Behemoth's purpose in coming to Hogwarts this time was not pure. Behemoth even dared to say that the people behind the scenes were Death Eaters. It was absolutely amazing.

Hu Xiuwu was really moved: "I never thought that Behemoth would be more proactive than the Ministry of Magic."

The tone was not particularly sad, but it was full of irony when combined with reality, which at least made Dumbledore feel a little embarrassed.

At the end of the second game of the Goblet of Fire, after Minister of Magic Fudge announced the results of each warrior on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, he declared that Zhang Lingyu's attack was an accident.

Hu Xiuwu originally thought that Fudge just wanted to calm down the students and ordinary wizards at Hogwarts and avoid causing panic.

Unexpectedly, in the following month, the Ministry of Magic acted as if nothing had happened and did not actually launch an investigation. Fudge seemed to think that as long as he did not remove the gauze, the wound would not continue to worsen.

Even though it had already turned smelly and black, and there were hidden signs of something wrong, he still didn't want to find out the truth. He even vigorously promoted the smooth progress of the Goblet of Fire in the newspapers, and made the newspapers publicize the Ministry of Magic's achievements.

The Ministry of Magic also held Hogwarts accountable, accusing them of failing to arrange the venue properly, which led to the attack on Aurors and Warriors, and the death of an Auror.

Fudge treated the excuse as the truth and then used it to shift the blame to Dumbledore. When it comes to fighting for power, he is truly a master.

The Ministry of Magic has done nothing and is still dragging its feet madly; and the biggest suspect, Behemoth, actually took the initiative to help step forward and help investigate the truth, and also gave an answer: Death Eaters.

Although Hu Xiuwu felt that this development was really bizarre, if he thought about it carefully, it could be considered as a cleanup.

The demands of Behemoth and the Death Eaters were obviously different, and the Death Eaters made such a big fuss that it obviously exceeded Behemoth's expectations.

Since his partner was somewhat out of control, it was understandable that Behemoth sold out the Death Eaters and squeezed the last of his ally, especially after the second game.

But how can they clear themselves of the issue?

Dumbledore seemed to see Hu Xiuwu's doubts, and before Hu Xiuwu could ask, he continued:

"You don't know yet, but just yesterday, Behemoth's warrior Mike Lucas died!"

"Death to Avada Kedavra!"

!!!

That Mike is actually dead? This development was something Hu Xiuwu had never expected: "Are you sure it must be him?"

Dumbledore said, "Professor Moody has examined it and confirmed that the body is indeed that of Mike Lucas."

Hu Xiuwu was indeed a little confused: "Who is the murderer?"

"It is said that it was the Death Eater Sirius. Sirius sneaked into Durmstrang's magic ship and killed Michael with Avada Kedavra. Now Behemoth has moved down from the ship and moved into Hogwarts."

Moved down from Durmstrang's magic ship?

Hu Xiuwu suddenly thought of another thing.

Behemoth had completed the survey of Hogwarts, otherwise they would not have dared to move off Durmstrang's ship.

However, from Dumbledore's tone, he didn't seem to believe that Sirius was the murderer. There must be something else I didn't know.

Hu Xiuwu said: "Since the warrior is dead, is Behemoth going to leave?"

Dumbledore said, "No, Behemoth said that Sirius must be captured so that Michael can rest in peace."

"I heard they have contacted 'hero' Sean for this."

Stop it, when did Behemoth ever take care of his subordinates? Aren’t these aliens who were injected with SP potion considered as experimental subjects by them?

The Hogwarts formation map is probably in hand, and once Michael dies, Behemoth will not be able to get the Goblet of Fire this time. Behemoth has already got what he wanted, but he still refuses to leave. What else does he want?

Dumbledore said: "Because the development of the matter is beyond my expectation, I hope you can do me a favor."

······

In the end, Hu Xiuwu agreed to Dumbledore's request. There was no way he could offer too much.

Dumbledore paid part of the reward in advance and provided Hu Xiuwu with the raw materials for making the Animagus potion.

The pupa of the hawk moth.

Hu Xiuwu has been holding a piece of mandrake in his mouth for almost a month. A few days ago, he was looking for the raw materials for making the Animagus potion, and Dumbledore gave him a portion directly from his own private collection.

After making the potion, Hu Xiuwu did not plan to bury it in a random place. The feng shui situation of the place where the potion was buried would also affect the form of the Animagus.

However, the place near Hogwarts that can be considered a Feng Shui treasure land has been occupied by someone, and a wizard village, Hogsmeade, has been built there.

But Hu Xiuwu didn't need to look for any Feng Shui treasure land. He was not Hu Bayi. He was the successor of the Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts.

If there is no Feng Shui site that suits your needs, we can create one ourselves!

Taking advantage of darkness, Hu Xiuwu left the castle and chose a remote place far away from the castle, close to the Forbidden Forest, where few students came, but close to the dragon vein under Hogwarts, and where he could overlook the hillside.

After all, Hogwarts is not his home, and Hu Xiuwu doesn't want to make a big fuss and disrupt the overall structure of Hogwarts.

Hu Xiuwu does not need to use the Animagus form to assist in combat, so he needs a unique form that can help him in other aspects. His favorite is birds, so he does not need a very good feng shui site, as long as the feng shui situation can deeply tap into Hu Xiuwu's emotional bird-like side.
