Chapter 1031 Items

"The things I asked you to collect... How are you collecting?" Malfoy asked, unconsciously straightening his body.

Fanlin also took two steps forward. What Voldemort wanted, Fanlin never thought would appear in front of him in this way.

"Not ready yet..." Old Burke trembled all over, "I don't have enough manpower, and the Dark Lord didn't explain too specifically where this thing came from..."

"Those vampires are more capable than you, Mr. Burke." Malfoy's voice became cold.

"Oh, yes, yes, but those magical relics..." Old Burke said, "Those magical relics are too dangerous, and the Dark Lord's needs... The Dark Lord only gave some breath feelings, but that thing is really..."

"Oh, it looks like you have gained something?" Malfoy looked at Old Burke.

"Oh, there are some, in a dark wizard's tomb, to be exact, we found it by accident..."

"What is it, take it out..."

Old Burke hesitated, looking at Malfoy's outstretched hand, a little reluctant.

"Oh, this is nothing..."

"You should know who can help you now!" Malfoy said condescendingly, "You took too long, which made the Dark Lord very unhappy. You should know the consequences, Mr. Burke. The Dark Lord does not like subordinates who do things perfunctorily..."

"Oh, of course, Mr. Malfoy..." Burke looked reluctant, but still complimented.

As he spoke, Old Burke turned and walked into the back. Although Fanlin wanted to follow him to see what it was, Marduk was in the corridor...

"What's wrong, Narcissa..." Lucius seemed to have noticed Narcissa's abnormality. Narcissa kept tilting her head around from the beginning.

"Nothing..." Narcissa shook her head, "Maybe it's my illusion, but I always feel..."

Fanlin and Hermione quickly stopped what they were doing. Obviously, Narcissa sensed something, but she hadn't discovered them yet...

Old Burke didn't take too long. After a while, he brought out a big box from the back. The box was a bit heavy, and it seemed that Old Burke was struggling, but no one came forward to help Old Burke get the box out.

With a thud, the box fell heavily on the counter, squeezing all the things on the counter to the ground.

"Is this it?" Malfoy said, without opening the box.

Fanlin was very curious. In fact, Fanlin could roughly guess what it was about.

Sirius once told him that those vampires were active in the ruins recently, and they seemed to be looking for something. Through the hint given by Lucius, it was obvious that the two were looking for the same thing, and it was very likely to be a relic of the god of death.

This is of course extremely important to Voldemort, but it seems that Old Burke doesn't know what he is looking for. He just relies on this breath to collect all the related things at once.

"Ah, yes, that's it..." Old Burke said, and then he was about to open the box...

"Wait a minute..." Lucius cautiously took two steps back and pulled out the wand from the top of his cane.

Compared to Burke, as Voldemort's confidant, Lucius naturally knows more. If Burke really finds something, he has to be cautious.

Old Burke was a little stunned. Seeing Malfoy's reaction, he reflexively took his hand back from the box.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing..." Lucius was a little embarrassed. He seemed too nervous. "It's just that we have to be careful. This is what the Dark Lord needs..."

"Uh... um, yes, Mr. Malfoy, so..."

Before Burke finished speaking, Malfoy's wand lightly lifted, accompanied by the "click" unlocking sound, the tightly sealed box lid popped open in an instant.

Just like opening the door of the ventilation duct, a cold breath burst out from the small Borgin-Burke magic shop in an instant.

Old Bork seemed to be startled. He had checked it when it was delivered, but such a thing had never happened before. Even when he opened the box, he could only feel a little difference, but he didn't want it to be today...

"Bang!"

The box quickly closed together again, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. The cold feeling just now was too strong, almost magnifying all the uneasiness in people's hearts. In just a few seconds, Narcissa broke out in cold sweat on her forehead.

And Fanlin's feelings were even stronger. It was not the first time that Fanlin experienced the throbbing from the heart, but every time he saw it again, it felt like it deepened the fear in people's hearts again.

This was not something that could be used to after more contact.

In fact, Fanlin also saw clearly what was in the box, a black oval object, its edges had weathered into gray-black rocks, if it was placed on the roadside, it would just look like an ordinary stone.

However, Fanlin was more inclined to believe that this was part of the body of the God of Death. He had seen it when he was in Hogwarts. It was a weathered body, but...

"Very good..." After a few seconds of silence, Lucius said happily.

No one present knew better than him what the Dark Lord was looking for, and with such a strong reaction, it must be something very useful to the Dark Lord.

"Mr. Malfoy, this stone..." Old Burke hesitated and did not say what the stone had done before, "I mean, this stone should be what the Dark Lord is looking for..."

"I'm not sure yet." Lucius said, "Remember, all we need to do is collect as many things as possible. The Dark Lord will pick out items that are valuable to him, so only the Dark Lord can be sure..."

"So, am I..." Old Burke said, and put his hand on the box and tried to move it back.

However, before the box left the counter, Lucius's cane hooked the entire box back.

"I will take it to the Dark Lord and let him personally identify it. Before that, I think it's more appropriate to keep this thing with me. What do you think, Mr. Burke..."

"Oh, of course, yes..." Old Burke smiled flatteringly, but he didn't mean to let go of his hand.

Obviously, Malfoy has determined that this time they are likely to find the right thing, and the Dark Lord has never been stingy with rewards for his capable subordinates...

"I think you should take your hands away, Mr. Burke." Lucius stepped forward, "I don't think it's a good thing to put your hands on the box, Mr. Burke."

"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Malfoy, I just had some arm..."

"You are too old, Mr. Burke, maybe these jobs in the future..."

"Oh, I think I'm still fine." Hearing this, old Burke quickly let go.

Although this was just a threat from Malfoy, he was not sure whether there was any intention of the Dark Lord in it.

"Very good..." Lucius said, stuffing the box into a cloth pocket and putting it close to his body, "A smart choice, Mr. Burke, the Dark Lord will give you the corresponding reward for the effect, believe me, Mr. Burke, the choice you made today will never make you regret..." (To be continued)
