Chapter 1083: The Murder Key and the Dead Hand

"More than?"

"Dobby, why are you here?" Hermione let go of her hand and asked quickly, "And Winky, you two..."

"It's Young Master Fanlin's mission..." Dobby straightened his chest, and his dark eyes seemed to exude a different kind of brilliance.

"The mission I gave you?" Fan Lin's head didn't turn around. "When did I give you the mission?"

"Oh, Dobby read it from Kreacher. After leaving Hogwarts, Dobby and Winky haven't had much work. Dobby thinks... Dobby thinks he should do something for Master Fanlin."

"So what did you do?"

"Rutherford woke up, Dobby brought him some more dragon blood, and now he is..."

Compared to Dobby standing there and chatting, Fanlin was obviously more inclined to directly meet this old vampire from the Cappadocia family.

In fact, it had been more than two weeks since the old vampire had arrived at No. 12 Mowgli Place, in the basement of Sirius' house.

This once made Fanlin find it difficult to arrange.

Vampires...well...should live in coffins, right?

However, this small request is still not difficult for a wizard, and I don’t know if Rutherford can accept a few pieces of wood put together...well, a temporary house...

"You're awake!" Fan Lin felt very relieved when he saw Rutherford sitting up. He had been watching for many years...

In the dark basement, the cold stone walls add a coffin.

"Ah, I just slept a little stiffly..." As he spoke, Rutherford turned his neck with some difficulty, "How long did I rest?"

"Fifteen days..." Fan Lin roughly calculated the time, "You are now..."

"I've recovered somewhat, but I think I might die if I lie down like this..." Rutherford said helplessly and tried to climb out of the coffin.

"You prepared this for me?" Rutherford realized something was wrong with his bed.

"Hmm... Isn't it difficult that it doesn't suit your style?"

"Of course," Rutherford said, "I'm not one of those old guys who are about to die and need to hibernate to stay alive."

"You will die too? Die of old age?" Fan Lin asked, "How is this possible?"

"A long time can make the soul numb. I believe you have experienced this in Nicolas Flamel."

Fan Lin nodded. During the contact, he could easily feel Nicoléme's fatigue. With a body that couldn't even wrap the magic power, it was hard to imagine what kind of state that was.

"As a vampire, we are born with a strong body and rely on the vitality of the blood to maintain it. However, as time goes by, we are no different from humans. We will also age due to the passage of time until we die. But if everything goes well, This will be a very long process.”

"how long?"

"I don't know!" Rutherford shook his head, "However, it is said that there are still thousands of old guys in the forbidden area, relying on the blood in the blood pool to survive, but I don't think they will last long."

"Thousands of years? They are also helping..."

"Oh, it's not as scary as you think. A normal vampire is the most powerful in five or six hundred years, and after that, it will gradually degenerate due to the decline of the body. They are just some people who are about to die. The old guy is not of much use to Voldemort."

"But they have long enough experience and rich enough knowledge..."

"Don't worry, at least Voldemort is still out of reach. The forbidden area cannot be entered casually, even if he has been recognized by the power of the ancient gods." Rutherford said.

"Approve? However, we just fought against Voldemort not long ago, but besides having an incomprehensible body, he has other..."

"He hasn't completely mastered this part of his power yet," Rutherford said. "I never thought you would fight him. Where?"

"Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries, Voldemort needs the orb about his fate, but..."

"But what?"

"Harry said Voldemort needed something else from the Department of Mysteries, but we didn't know what it was."

Rutherford fell into deep thought...

"He needs...what do you think this means..."

"The God of Death!" Fan Lin said with certainty, "Only the power of the God of Death plus Harry will allow Voldemort to take risks and come to magic to look for him. Moreover, when he was at the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort did not show that so-called power. …”

Fan Lin is still very clear about this. Voldemort is still powerful. The last time he came into contact was when he was just resurrected. At that time, he could only fight against Voldemort with the help of Harry and the Sorcerer's Stone.

But at the Ministry of Magic, he and Harry confronted Voldemort and even injured Voldemort, and Fan Lin was very aware of everyone's growth.

It can be said that he is very clear about the upper limit of the abilities of D.A members. After all, he has fought against everyone and competed in magic. However, it can be said that his own growth has not made a qualitative leap. Learning magic is not What an overnight success.

Voldemort is different. He just needs time to recover his peak, which is much faster than their growth rate. However, in the performance at the Ministry of Magic, although Voldemort's strength is still terrifying, the pressure of the match is far less intense than the last time in the cemetery.

This is very contradictory. Logically, Voldemort should have recovered to a level that even surpassed Dumbledore. Moreover, Harry said that he felt Voldemort's unprecedented strength and a more powerful hidden power...

"What I can tell you is that the power of the ancient gods is not something that is easy for Voldemort to control. I suspect that he may just guide the power to store it, and if he knows how to use it, he doesn't need to insist on entering the vampire's forbidden area."

"What exactly is that place?"

"That is a place that only the dead can enter. In fact, I don't know it very well." Rutherford said bitterly, "As early as a thousand years ago, the vampire's forbidden area was completely closed, and the people inside got eternal life, but I am more inclined to believe that they fell into the world of the dead, and the ancient gods... I suspect that this is a seal or protection for the ancient gods. At least, the current vampire forbidden area does not have the method of the old guy who is still alive. We lack the key."

"Key..."

Fan Lin recalled, "Is it the evil key?"

"Yes." Rutherford nodded. "And the corpse hand."

Fan Lin nodded. After mastering the soul ring, Fan Lin deliberately learned about these two holy artifacts of vampires.

It is said that the evil key is the key that can open the gate of hell and has magical energy. Those who can use it can pass through the cracks in time and enter any space where aliens and humans live.

The corpse hand is the left hand of Cain, the first ancestor of the blood clan. Because the secret of the world is hidden in the hand, it was cut off.

As for the secret of the world, it is not difficult to understand. Perhaps it is something like God. For the current world, God itself is the biggest secret. They were erased and exiled...

"So, the forbidden area is the gate of hell?"

"That's right!" Rutherford nodded. "At the other end of the gate, there is a horror that no one can imagine..." (To be continued)
