LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 45: Chapter-43 Interrogation
[Hello everyone. This chapter was a bit funny for me. Next, I have 1 question for you all. 1. Do you want me to just make the chapter larger or write more chapters in a week?
Like increase the size to something like 4,5k or upload 2 chapters of 3k? Hope you like the story.]
If it weren't for the cold chill all over his body, and the childish voice that had recited the spell just now, Even now when he sees the wand in the childs hand, Ted wouldn't have connected his attacker with the child in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Think carefully before you speak. If you tell a lie, maybe the ice will spread up further till your waist."
The boy said such cold and ruthless words in a childish voice.
With that said, Kaizo waved his wand threateningly, and Ted's wrist which was already cold was completely covered with ice. Stimulated by the ice, no matter how drunk he was, he woke up. Although he doesn't understand what kind of spell the other party has cast, but realizing that the child really had the ability to control the ice, made Ted panicked.
He knew very well that if the ice spread two inches further to his waist, it would cover a man's most important jewels. Those jewels are much more fragile than his hands and feet. If he was frozen like this, there are only two endings:
Either he will never get hard, or there would be nothing left to get hard. He really doesn't want any of these options. So he immediately trembled and said in fear:
"We are a group of grave robbers… We came here to steal the magical items left in the cemetery.… Please Forgive me… Sir, this Gentleman, this matter has AAah"
Before he finished speaking, he felt the ice spreading upward inch by inch. Now even his pair of balls were nearly frozen.
"Do you think I am a fool? You came to the Moonstone Garden to rob tombs. Do you think I'm some kind of child?"
"You…please stop."
When Ted heard the words 'Moonstone Garden' from the childs mouth, he knew that he could no longer hide the real reason from the other party. You know, even his boss found this name in forgotten history books after looking through countless old books and tomes. Now that this secret was revealed casually by the other party, it showed that the other party was much more knowledgeable and dangerous than he had imagined. Then their actions should probably be under this child's supervision.
He just doesn't know whether this child is from the Ministry of Magic or…
Ted kept thinking in his heart, but apologized again and again outside.
"I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean to lie. I'm sorry. Actually we don't have any conflicts, right? If you can let me go, then I'll be very grateful…
Aahh!"
This time, before he could finish speaking, he felt the ice on his wrist freeze his entire arm.
"Answer only what I ask, and If I don't ask anything, just shut up…or you can choose to sacrifice your other body parts."
"Yes, yes… I was wrong. I will answer whatever you ask."
This time, Ted was really scared. The other party's ruthlessness and decisiveness in harming him at the slightest disagreement are not at all like a child his age. He seriously suspected that this was some old man who had probably either taken over this body or used some kind of sacrifice ritual to gain back his youth.
But no matter what, Ted no longer dared to have any ideas of his own for the time being. Kaizo asked whatever he wanted from Ted. It didn't take long for Kaizo to figure with whom he was dealing with. It turns out that these two are not some kind of dark wizards, but they both belong to a group of poachers. Poachers of the magical world are similar to their counterparts of the Muggle world. It's just that they poach magical creatures, while Muggle poachers hunt endangered animals or nearly extinct animals.
Muggle poachers are dangerous, but they are nothing in front of their magical counterparts. Not only they are much more extreme, but they are also much more powerful. The rate of return for poaching in the Wizarding world is also much higher than that of the Muggle world.
After all, Muggles have achieved industrialization, so for them animal furs can only be used as decoration. But in the
Wizarding world, many alchemical potions and products are made up with the help of magical beasts body parts and their blood. This makes the wizarding poachers even more crazy.
Especially after the promulgation of the Statue of Secrecy, the struggle between the poachers and the Ministry has intensified, almost reaching the point of tit-for-tat. Many poacher organizations are even no longer satisfied with petty theft, but even dominate the mountains and occupy places like castles as their bases, openly confronting the Ministry of Magic.
The 18th and the 19th centuries were the most rampant years for the poachers in the Wizarding World. Originally the situation was like this until the end of the 19th century. In that period of time/history, the entire gang or group of organization of dark wizards and poachers around the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts disappeared for unknown reasons.
This directly led to the poacher organization being silent for nearly a 100 years. The dark wizards only rose again with the emergence of two Dark Lords. According to Ted, their boss Picus Curtis is descended from a group of powerful poachers. His ancestors were one of the main leaders of the poacher organization that resided near Hogwarts, but for some reason they suddenly went dormant.
It was not until a few decades ago that, taking advantage of the rise of the Dark Lord, Picus learned about the Treasure of the Moonstone garden from one the old Tomes lying at his home. It was said that the Treasure was related to Centaurs and was almost as valuable as the extinct Golden Snitch.
The Golden Snitch is an extremely rare and specially protected bird. It's golden body is round and round, it's mouth particularly slender, and it's eyes are sparkling like rubies. This is an extremely fast bird that can change it's flight direction with incredible speed and skill because the joints of it's wings can flexibly rotate.
In the earlier Quidditch days, the Seeker did not chase the man-made Golden Snitch, but actually the real Golden Snitch. As the sport of Quidditch became famous, the number of Golden Snitchs dwindled until they were on the verge of extinction.
Nowadays, because the Golden Snitchs are extremely endangered, they have become protected magical animals all over the world and are strictly monitored. Therefore, if this group of poachers could get something similar to the Golden Snitch, then it will a huge profit for them. So, Picus Curtis came here with eight of his men.
After understanding the causes and consequences of the poachers, Kaizo nodded:
"I have a general understanding of the situation of you and your accomplices, but you've not mentioned the Auror, you've caught till now? How is she?"
Hearing this, Ted's body began to tremble again, and his face was as pale as a layer of white frost:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I…just forgot to mention it. Please don't let the Ice spead anymore. I beg you."
This time his panic was genuine. He really didn't expect that the other party actually knew even about the female Auror. This once again proved the danger of the other party, and that each of their move should be under the surveillance of this terrifying child. He was also afraid that this child would think that he deliberately didn't mention the female Auror.
Kaizo pouted, feeling a little funny in his heart. This burly man was really afraid of him. Though on the outside, he still maintained an indifferent expression:
"Shut Up, just tell me what happened to that Auror."
"Yes!"
Ted immediately stopped crying and talked about the Auror tremblingly.
"We…we met her by accident before we came in… That girl, she tried to disguise herself as a nearby villager, and we discovered her. We captured her, but we didn't do anything to her because the boss was eager to explore the ruins, so we just tied her up and locked her in a separate room."
Having said this, the man swallowed and continued:"That… Auror looks very young. She should have just graduated this or the previous year. She has pink hair, which is very conspicuous."
Kaizo nodded after hearing this, he had already guessed who this Auror was.
"Last question, do any of you carry a Griffin related item with you?"
The wizard was silent for a moment, and when Kaizo was just about to get fed up, he answered:"Yes, yes. Our boss, Picus has a pendant made of Griffin's beak. He always carries that thing on his chest, often likes to show it off to us. He said it was passed down from his family and represented the glorious past of the Curtis Family."
Does their glorious past prove that they once captured a Griffin? It is indeed something a family of poachers would do. Kaizo nodded, and now the goal of this trip is clear. According to him, since the treasure is in the hands of these poachers, then they can only die.
