Chapter 186 Honest Knight
Not long after, Qin Weijie turned the wooden box upside down, collected all the useful items, and left the basement.
The three of them left the basement without staying any longer and prepared to leave the old house through the Floo network.
In three days, school will start on September 1st. Emma has almost packed it, but Qin Weijie and Tom have not yet started packing their luggage.
And the most important thing is that the two of them haven't touched a word of their summer homework. It's time to ask Elena to borrow the homework to copy, but I don't know if three days is enough.
Arriving in front of the fireplace, Qin Weijie took out the Floo powder and handed it to Emma and Tom, indicating that they should leave first.
However, when Tom got into the fireplace and sprinkled Floo powder, it only stirred up a burst of dark green flames in the old and disrepaired fireplace.
In the blink of an eye, Tom still hadn't left the fireplace. Instead, he was disgraced by the flames of Floo powder.
"Ahem, what's going on? Why am I still here?" Tom coughed a few times and wiped the dust from his face.
Qin Weijie looked at the fireplace thoughtfully: "Is it because the evil spirit here is too strong, causing the floo network to malfunction? It shouldn't be, everything was fine when we came here!"
Qin Weijie said, helping Tom clean the dirt on his face: "Forget it, let's leave here first. At the worst, we can find a train station and take the train back, and we can still see the scenery."
Emma looked at Qin Weijie with a bitter look on her face: "You have forgotten that most of the railways in Leicestershire were destroyed by German air raids."
"Can a living person suffocate to death? Just go out and find a phone number to contact Jiu'er or Pierce and ask them to send someone to pick us up."
With that said, the three of them walked towards the outside of the old house.
Qin Weijie once saw the location of the old residence of a wealthy businessman on a map. The old residence is located in the suburbs south of Leicester, between the two cities of Leicester and Wigston. It is sparsely populated and is the nearest market town. It is also close to a distance of about ten kilometers.
The reason why it was built so far away, according to Jiu'er, seems to be because the old wealthy businessman didn't like a noisy environment, so he built this manor far away from the market.
The entire manor covers a large area, almost the same size as the Foley family's manor in London. When you open the door, you will see a messy garden that has not been taken care of for many years. There is a huge barn on the left side of the house and a huge barn on the right. A sheepfold, but there were no sheep in the sheepfold at this time.
The three of them walked through the garden towards the gate. The gate of the manor was stained with rust, and the door leaf on the left was still a little tilted. Qin Weijie felt that the entire iron gate would fall down if he exerted even a little force.
Outside the gate is an endless field, and the crops grown in the fields are obviously lacking in care. A gust of wind makes it look even more desolate and lonely.
After walking out of the door, Qin Weijie couldn't help but frown slightly. Even Tom and Emma seemed to sense something. They stood at the door and stared into the distance.
However, at this moment, the situation changed. The originally sunny day was covered with dark clouds, rolling thunder exploded, strong wind swept, smoke and dust on the ground stirred up for ten feet, crops and weeds in the fields fell one after another, and faintly visible in the smoke and dust in the distance One after another figures.
Qin Weijie looked intently at the smoke and dust in the distance. Not long after, a row of knights riding horses with swords on their waists walked out of the smoke and dust. Although the clatter of horse hoofbeats was not urgent, it gave people a feeling of black clouds closing in on the city. Terrifying pressure.
At the same time, another group of wizards in civilian clothes turned into streams of light and stayed in front of the knights.
"The person who came here is not a good person!" Qin Weijie sighed softly, without any trace of panic but with a hint of dignity.
"I said, who are you provoking again?! There are 59 people in total, forty knights, in such a huge ceremony. The remaining 19 people should be Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. They all have the Auror badge of the Ministry of Magic on their left shoulders." Tom He quickly judged the situation at the scene and calculated the comparison of the numbers of the enemy and ourselves: "There is a clear gap between the enemy and ourselves. They are not opponents at all! The fifty-nine people are basically at least level seven of magic power. I can't tell the difference between some of them."
Speaking of this, Tom lowered his voice and said, "Could it be related to the disappeared Templars?"
Qin Weijie shook his head: "Who knows, the other party is not good anyway! Let's see the situation first before talking!"
As he spoke, Qin Weijie walked forward, intending to communicate with the other party. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Emma a wink, indicating to Emma to set up his formation first, and to prepare for a rainy day no matter what the other party's intentions were.
"Hey! Who of you is in charge!? Come out and have a chat!" Qin Weijie spoke but no one responded.
"Let me go, do you know how to be polite? What are you asking me? Find someone who can make the decision!" Qin Weijie was a little sulky when he was left alone.
Not long after, a golden stream of light flew from a distance and landed at the front of the team, less than ten meters away from Qin Weijie.
The stream of light gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the person who came. He was a middle-aged handsome man with blond hair and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked somewhat elegant, but for some reason it gave people an irresistible sense of oppression.
"It seems that you are the one in charge? Where did you come from? Haven't you heard the saying, a good dog doesn't block the road? I have something else to do, so tell your people to get out of here!"
"Ministry of Magic, Floo Network Management Office, Director!" The blond man didn't care about Qin Weijie's provocation, adjusted his glasses and said in a nonchalant manner.
"Ministry of Magic? Haha, when will the Ministry of Magic be able to command the Knights of the Round Table? There are two teams coming, which knight?"
"The Seventh Knights!" The blond man answered all questions.
Qin Weijie frowned slightly. The Seventh Knights, the Knights of Integrity? After thinking for a while, Qin Weijie found that he had never come into contact with them.
"What do you want to do?"
"After investigation, there is an illegal use of the floo network here. You have entered the Ministry of Magic's restricted area without permission. Now the Ministry of Magic needs you to cooperate with the investigation. Please come with us and accept the interrogation. If there are no special circumstances, you will be allowed to leave."
"Restricted area? Haha, this house is my own property. It has nothing to do with your Ministry of Magic! If you want to find trouble, just say it!" Qin Weijie looked at the blond man with a bad face, and even burst into swear words. The whole person was extremely arrogant.
However, what Qin Weijie didn't expect was that the other party was not angry, and still had a contemptuous smile on his face:
"This place contains the Ministry of Magic's confidential magic items, which have always been under the Ministry of Magic's care. The Fuli family purchased this property without the Ministry of Magic's authorization. Someone will naturally investigate afterwards, but now please don't resist, Mr. Fuli, and come with us... It's best to return the confidential items in the house to the Ministry of Magic."
"Since you know my identity, you dare to be so presumptuous, it seems that you are coming for me! Aren't you afraid of the old man's revenge?"
