Chapter 164 The heritage of the big family 【For subscription, for data】
Behind the heavy door is a gloomy and narrow hall.
To Douglas. Although it is no longer among the 28 pure-blood families, it is also a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
This ancestral house looks magnificent from the outside.
Who knew that when they came in, the first impression they gave to the siblings was that they didn't even have a place to stay.
And when Amber carefully looked at the hall in front of him, he realized that it was not the small size of the Douglas house.
But the hall in front of him is more like a warehouse full of debris than a normal residence.
In addition, the windows on the wall were opened very small, and sunlight shone through the windows, leaving a path of light in the air, making the hall more gloomy and gloomy.
"So dirty, doesn't the Douglas house have any house-elves?"
Seeing the returning city flying in the light path, Lilith couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and said with a look of disgust.
"It's normal, and Douglas isn't - some big family. 35
Amber reached out and waved, dispelling the dust floating in front of him, squinting his eyes and looking at the hall in front of him.
Compared to the Cadmus mansion, the hall in front of me was a mess.
Shelves of different sizes are cluttered in the hall.
On the shelves, there are all kinds of strange exhibits piled up indiscriminately.
As far as Amber could see, the heads of trolls, the mummified corpses of Sniff, and the furs of some unknown magical animals were piled up randomly on the shelves.
I don't know how the people living in this family can endure such an environment.
"All the funds of the Douglas family may have supported Voldemort back then."
Looking at the hall, there are many tattered alchemy items due to lack of maintenance.
As well as those on the shelf, the potion raw materials that have not been properly preserved and have lost their full effect.
Amber easily analyzed the predicament of the Douglas family.
"Even after that, the Douglas family has some profits, and I am afraid that Bailey will use it to maintain his reputation. 35
"Brother, is there really anything we need here? I don't think this family is like someone who knows the goods.
Lilith still looked disgusted, holding her wand and moving forward slowly.
He used his wand to poked at the several shelves in front of him, and even a lot of precious raw materials that were improperly preserved turned into dust and fell to the ground when the wand first touched them.
"Don't look at those things, mainly look for related books."
Amber shook his head. He led the way through the hall and walked towards the interior of the house.
How can there be good things in the hall?
No matter how good old Douglas's brain is, it is impossible to keep the truly precious things out.
The study and secret room in this room are the places that Amber and the others really have to look for carefully.
Sure enough, after walking through several dirty rooms in a row, Amber saw a solid black door.
Pushing open the door, a bright sun bursts in.
What entered Amber's eyes were two large, orderly rows of bookshelves that reached the ceiling.
This is the study of the Douglas family, a far cry from the scruffy exterior.
Everything here seems so neat.
In the room, the exhaust ventilation system supported by alchemy is still working tirelessly.
On the side wall of the study, there are wide and huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
Sunlight pours into the study room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing plenty of light and warmth to this room.
"Sure enough, there are no fools in the pure blood family.
Looking at the study, Amber smiled, not feeling the slightest surprise at what was in front of him.
Knowledge is always the most fundamental heritage of a family.
In the magical world, no matter how poor the family is, no heir will live by selling his own family's books.
Because as long as there are these books, any brilliant and brilliant person among the descendants will be able to leap up with this knowledge.
This is the real reason why the pure blood family can stand in the magic world for thousands of years.
For this reason, when the Ministry of Magic was established, they specially issued the "Pure Blood Protection Law" to ensure that the knowledge inheritance of each family will not be cut off by plunder.
Before that, when Amber was taken away by the Ministry of Magic for investigation, he took advantage of this law and strongly refused the Ministry of Magic to investigate his wand.
Douglas can follow Voldemort for so many young people, and little Douglas is favored by the Presbyterian Church, at least he understands these basic things.
…
But at the moment, all of these well-preserved books are cheap Amber.
"These are the real treasures."
While sighing, Amber took out the book next to him.
This is a research handbook of herbal medicine. Looking at the signature on it, it should be Douglas who did not know how many generations ago.
On this thick manuscript wrapped in sheepskin, Douglas's research experience on herbal medicine in the past dynasties was recorded.
Such a book will be robbed by countless masters of herbal medicine if it is placed outside.
But now, it was thrown on the bookshelf next to it by Amber.
Such handwritten notes are precious, but they can be packaged back and read slowly.
The most urgent task now is to find those magic books on the soul that the old Douglas collected back then.
Books were turned over by Amber, and books were thrown on the shelf.
I have to say that during the time when Voldemort was raging, old Douglas did collect a lot of good things.
There are some books that at first glance are the inheritance of magic from various families, and Amber is quite eye-catching.
even make up your mind. Go back and focus on practicing these magics.
but not now.
After a quick glance at a row of bookshelves, Amber frowned.
This row of bookshelves is full of various magic books and dazzling arrays, and many of them are extremely precious notes.
But unfortunately, there is no trace of soul magic at all.
This is not normal.
Voldemort made Horcrux back then, and the materials and knowledge he needed couldn't be satisfied by one or two books.
These books will not be destroyed after reading, and he must be hiding somewhere in this study.
unless……
Recalling what happened to him before, Amber pulled out his wand and held it high.
Under the instillation of magic power, the tip of the wand instantly glowed, illuminating the entire study.
"Hidden appearance"
The spell swept across the study, revealing all the secrets to Amber.
And when Amber put his eyes on a hidden and narrow corner and saw another wooden door slowly emerging there, he finally showed a smile.
