Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Life on the "Isabella" was pleasant to Lockhart, and he could always find people among the noisy crowd who were willing to listen to his stories.

Not long after boarding the ship, everyone on the ship was attracted by Lockhart. Moriarty asked the crew for a pen and a large number of old newspapers, and then plunged into the inner cabin.

Apart from Lockhart bringing in three meals a day, he didn't see anyone or go out.

Five days later, Moriarty called Lockhart: "It's for you!"

He tossed a large stack of old newspapers to Lockhart.

Lockhart opened them and saw that the newspapers were full of beautiful black lace fonts. He read the title carefully: "With Slytherin in Eastern Tibet!"

"Master!" Lockhart's neck turned red with excitement: "I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect you really wanted to write a book for me!"

"From now on, you must improve your state of mind, Lockhart." Moriarty said: "No matter where you are, no matter what happens, you must be calm. For example, this book..."

Moriarty looked at Lockhart seriously: "You know what kind of shock this book will cause once it is released, right?

From the UK, to France, to Germany... you will become a household name in the wizarding world throughout Europe, and then in the Americas and Africa!"

And I, the last direct blood relative of Salazar, will also enter the public eye."

Lockhart was immersed in the prospects described by Moriarty, and he smiled stupidly.

"Oh Master, that's great. I can already see us waving to the wizards under the flashlight. We will definitely make the headlines of the Daily Prophet!"

"Wrong, you are the only one waving to the wizards! You are the only one making headlines! People will notice that you have transformed from a writer into a digger!"

Moriarty stared at Lockhart with sharp eyes like an eagle: "This is very important, Lockhart.

Look into my eyes, and you want people to think that you have a sharp eye. It was you who discovered me! You brought back the descendant of Slytherin to Britain!"

Lockhart swallowed. He understood the meaning behind these words. He frowned: "Master, I understand, but there is one thing I must tell you. I am not sure whether this will affect you."

plan of."

He explained: "The Foley family among the twenty-eight pure-blood families is my partner, or in other words, my works are operated, promoted, and sold by the Foley family."

Lockhart spread his hands and shook his head helplessly: "The money we earn is divided between us, four for me, and six for the Foley family. There is no way, as long as the book-related business is inseparable from the Foley family, my four

I still fought hard with reason..."

Moriarty pondered for a moment and patted Lockhart on the shoulder.

"We will talk about the Foley family when we get home. What you have to do is to improve your character and improve your image! Think about how to shape yourself into the image that wizards like most."

Moriarty must first return to the castle to see what good things Salazar left behind before he can formulate a plan to deal with the pure-blood family.

Five days later, the ship passed through the English Channel and arrived in England.

Moriarty took Lockhart with him to Bristol.

"Merlin, Salazar Slytherin came to Bristol after leaving Hogwarts! In England! People thought he left Europe!"

Lockhart was like a general returning from victory along the way, and he continued like this until he reached his destination.

"Master?" Lockhart looked at the endless plain, not even the shadow of the castle. He didn't understand why Moriarty stopped.

"In addition to the Muggle-repelling spell, there must be an extremely powerful concealment spell here. But it doesn't bother me. Lockhart, please stay back."

Moriarty searched for relevant memories in his mind. He pointed his staff straight ahead and said in parse language: "Talk to me - Slytherin!"

Although it was not the first time he heard it, Lockhart was still horrified.

Moriarty seems to be really talking to Salazar's ghost: "Open your eyes to see death, close your eyes to see the future! Every angel has a past, and every demon has a future!"

A dazzling silver light shot into the front from the top of the staff. Moriarty and Lockhart were instantly swept away by a huge force, and a hissing sound appeared in their ears, as if ten thousand snakes were hissing in their ears.

.

"Oh, this is really too bad," Lockhart covered his butt and got up from the ground. He felt that he had fallen. "Master, are you okay?"

Lockhart wanted to help Moriarty, but heard him say: "We are here. There is no doubt that this is Slytherin Castle."

Lockhart heard a hint of excitement, which was rare for Moriarty, and he quickly raised his head to look at the castle.

"Oh! Oh -" Lockhart covered his mouth, wanting to say something but nothing came out.

The main body of the castle is made of granite, with purple agate inlaid on the outside, like magic eyes staring into the distance.

The exterior of the castle is enchanted, with silver and green colors. During the day, it looks like a rising magic palace under the sunlight, and at night, it looks like a coiling snake.

Although it is in Gothic style, there are many towers, fortresses, stone bridges, city walls, and barbicans.

It is more like a battle fortress than a noble manor.

Of course, the castle has the style of Salazar Slytherin everywhere, and the walls made of gold ore are polished to be as pure and shining as glass.

A silver stone road that can accommodate four carriages running in parallel leads from the bottom of Moriarty's feet to the gate.

There is a large lawn on both sides of the stone road, and then a lush oak forest surrounds the lawn and the city wall like a knightly order.

There is a large lake behind the castle, and there is a faint sound of flowing water.

Slytherin's logo is printed on the gate, city walls, and roofs...it makes the castle solemn and solemn.

"Okay Lockhart, look at yourself, we're going in." Moriarty said with a smile, he was very satisfied with the castle.

Suddenly there was a "pop" sound in the air, and a goblin appeared out of thin air outside the gate.

He was wearing a black robe, with long pointed ears and a very prominent pointed nose. His sallow skin was full of wrinkles, and his hair was long and dragged to the ground.

What particularly caught Moriarty's attention was the fact that the goblin was wearing a pair of golden shackles.

"Dear Descendants of Slytherin - cough cough." The goblin coughed violently as soon as he opened his mouth. When he mentioned "Slytherin", Moriarty saw a hint of evil intention in his black eyes.

"I haven't spoken to anyone for at least nine hundred years!" The goblin croaked and kept looking at Moriarty: "Then, you are a descendant of Salazar Slytherin...except for Salazar Liu

Except for the curse given to his descendants, no one can find this place."

The goblin knelt down reluctantly: "Follow Salazar's order, the goblin Ingo will be loyal to you from beginning to end!"

"Take me in." Moriarty knew that there was another bizarre story hidden behind Ingo, but he first had to receive Salazar's intellectual legacy.

"Please give me the key." Ingo stretched out his hands.

Moriarty put the golden key in Ingo's hand, and Ingo stood up and opened the door with the key.

The moment the door opened, Moriarty received a prompt from the system: "It has been detected that the host has obtained ownership of Slytherin Castle. Ten exploration draws will be awarded."

A large group of house elves ran out of the castle. They eagerly came to Moriarty and clapped vigorously: "The day has finally come, welcome the descendants of Slytherin!"

Ingo promptly explained: "They are responsible for the care, cleaning, and food of the entire castle. Salazar has imposed a permanent spell on them, preventing them from leaving the entire castle."

"You are not allowed to call the master by his name!" A leading house elf pointed at Ingo, his long nose trembling with anger, and he said to Moriarty: "Ingo is a bad guy. He has been talking all day since the master left.

Talking ill about the master."

Ingo was obviously used to the complaints of house elves, at least they had been like this for more than nine hundred years, but he could not ignore Moriarty's views.

"I don't want to hide it from you, but I was caught by Salazar." Ingo shook his shackles, "I witnessed Salazar creating this castle, so I can't leave the castle either."

"My name is Moriarty Slytherin. You will call me Master from now on. I have no interest in your past now." Moriarty's tone left no room for doubt: "What interests me is ancestor Salazar."

The legacy left behind.”

"I'll take you to see it, Master! My name is Luke. Let's go to the master's bedroom first."

Luke, the house elf, led the way as if he was taking credit, and Moriarty walked into the castle surrounded by Lockhart and Ingo.

The exterior of the castle is not too gorgeous, but the hall is magnificent. Twelve giant silver-white pillars support the first floor. The milky white walls and white carpets covering the floor make the hall look bright.

There are portraits, banners, sculptures and rune pictures hanging on the wall one after another, simple and ancient.

Each ancient stone is embedded with a gem or emerald on both sides.

Strangely, with the different colors of the gems, the orientation of the embedding in the wall is also different.

There was a big golden clock on the wall opposite the door. Moriarty looked at the time, and it was a quarter to twelve.

The carpet was embroidered with the Slytherin symbol, and Lockhart suddenly climbed on it: "Oh Merlin, this must be the work of elves! Only they can make it purely by hand."

"Compared to the exquisite carpets, ancient carvings, and expensive furniture..." Moriarty swept the hall and finally fixed his gaze on the two rows of candles.

"There is magic between these candles, which are as thick as an ordinary person's arm, and the gems in various directions. I think the ancestors must have deliberately arranged them this way. This should be a magic circle."

Ingo stared at Moriarty, fearful of Moriarty's talent and acumen, and muttered: "Another Slytherin monster!"

He sighed: "Okay, Master, what you said is absolutely correct, but I would like to add that this is a space magic circle, and its existence provides brightness to the entire castle."

Lockhart seemed to have found inspiration and quickly wrote these down.

Ingo had a hint of showoff, and raised his face: "In fact, the castle uses a large number of space magic arrays. The young master's spell opened the magic array that entered the castle territory, and space teleportation brought you here.

Don't worry about the snake language emitted by the teleportation array, it is a symbol of the first unsealing, no one has been here for nearly a thousand years."

Lockhart clapped his hands and said happily: "Aha~ The heritage of a thousand-year-old pureblood family! Richer and more luxurious than any pureblood in the UK. I think even all the families in Europe combined can't compare to the young master's castle!

"

Ingo's face suddenly changed: "These are all the fairies' wealth!"

Moriarty looked at Ingo playfully: "It seems that your status among goblins is not low."

Ingo tilted his head to one side and refused to speak.

Luke said loudly, as if to attack Ingo: "My respected young master, let's go, everything in the master's bedroom will remain as it is!"

Moriarty nodded, and followed Luke for a long time before he found Salazar's bedroom. It was still exquisite and luxurious, but Moriarty didn't take a second look, but caught a glimpse of a notebook on the desk.
