Black Crime Square is not a shop or a commercial street. It is actually an open-air auction stage.
However, what is being auctioned here are all extremely evil things, the kind of things that cannot be sold openly even in the Bojin Bock store.
There are huge interests involved behind the Black Crime Square, and even the officials of the Ministry of Magic have their customers, so those Aurors with a strong sense of justice have been unable to get in even if they want to attack this place.
The Black Crime Square has a long history. No one can remember when it was built, but it must be no less than five centuries ago. In the most exaggerated rumor version, it was established earlier than Hogwarts.
The mastermind behind it has always been a mystery, and there are more than 50 people rumored about it. The only thing that is certain is that Black Crime Plaza has a close relationship with most of the pure-blood families. If you want to participate in this auction, you will definitely not be able to bypass the introduction of the pure-blood families.
Not just anyone can participate in the auction.
The auction is held in extreme secrecy and all participants must wear special masks to conceal their identities.
The auction is not held every day, but is held irregularly. The date and time of the auction are spread through secret channels. Only those who are qualified to participate will know the exact date and time of the event. In this case, even the Ministry of Magic will not be able to grasp any clues or evidence. If we came here at any other time, this place would be nothing more than an unguarded auction stage.
How to qualify to participate is also a secret that no one knows. But first, you must first obtain recommendations from several pure-blood family heads. This alone is enough to exclude most people, not to mention that there are other subsequent steps to review the qualifications of those who are recommended.
Schelling has never been here, which can be seen from the fact that he doesn't even know how to pass the wall.
However, he knew the existence of this place.
He was sure Lucius knew this place too.
Although Lucius never mentioned it in front of his family, Schelling had seen the products of Black Crime Plaza in the family secret room, and the products still had the mark of Black Crime Plaza on them. It was a bright red crystal stone, brighter than the Magic Stone. If you stood near it, you could faintly hear an annoying low murmur.
Xie Lin learned the origin of that thing from the black magic book. It was a crystal stone refined from the blood of 777 7-year-old children. This does not mean just collecting blood like the Muggle Red Cross, but also brutally sacrificing all those young children through magical rituals. When Xie Lin knew the truth behind the stone, his mood could not be calm for a long time.
Of course, the one in the family secret room may not have been bought by Lucius, it may have been passed down by a certain ancestor.
This red crystal contains powerful magic power. Although this magic cannot be absorbed by the human body due to the strong resentment attached to it, it is suitable for use as an energy source for magic arrays. Sherrin suspects that the various protective arrays and shielding arrays in Malfoy Manor rely on it as an energy source. of.
From the cruelty and evil degree of this crystal, it is not difficult to deduce what kind of goods are being auctioned in the Black Crime Plaza.
Although the production methods are cruel and evil, it is undeniable that these products do have their demand, so the Black Crime Plaza can be protected by all walks of life and remain standing.
There is no auction held in Black Crime Square at this moment.
What's strange is that there are two more people standing guard at the door of the storage warehouse behind the auction table. Schelling recognized the two guards at a glance. They were the two kidnappers shown on the crystal ball.
"There's something weird," Scrimgeour frowned and whispered, "No one is usually stationed here, and there is nothing in the storage room. It is only used for temporary storage on the day when the auction is held. Those auction items.”
Xie Lin used Divine Peeping Amaterasu to confirm that there was no one else around, and only these two men were stationed here.
The magic power of these two men was probably at the level of junior Aurors, enough to deal with ordinary intruders. However, Scrimgeour and Robards were both in the Auror force, the best among the best, and could compete with the four deans of Hogwarts.
Very confident! It seems that no matter who is in charge, they don't think anyone dares to break in here, so they only have such a small number of people here. Another possibility is that they have intelligence sources within the Ministry of Magic. If the Ministry of Magic takes any action, they are confident that they can receive the news in advance and transfer it before the Aurors arrive. In the magical world, there is Apparition, Floo Network, and Space Bags, so it is not difficult to transfer 100 elephants.
The other two seemed to recognize Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour's appearance is so recognisable, his thick hair and sharp eyes are like a lion, they are simply his signature.
Under Xie Lin's divine gaze, the other party seemed a little nervous, but not afraid. This was not the first time that Aurors had searched this place. Although Scrimgeour was not easy to mess with, judging from the attitude of an Auror and a kid, he didn't look like he was specifically looking for trouble.
When they arrived at the door of the storage warehouse, Scringie and Robards revealed their identities, asked them to cooperate with the investigation, and asked to enter the storage warehouse for a search. The other party refused to cooperate on the grounds that there was no search warrant.
No wonder they were so confident, it seemed that they were quite familiar with Auror law enforcement procedures.
Moreover, they were able to conclude with such confidence that Scringe and the others did not have a search warrant. It seemed that their intelligence capabilities should not be underestimated.
Scrimgeour did not have a search warrant, and this time it was his secret operation because he did not want the news to leak out like last time and allow the kidnappers to successfully transfer in advance again.
Although he felt that there must be something weird about the other party, it was not convenient for him to break in due to his status. Looking at the fearless appearance of the other party, Scrimgeour could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Xie Lin was different from the two Aurors, he didn't have so many scruples.
He is not an employee of the Ministry of Magic, and he has no scruples or restrictions from within the Ministry. Moreover, he witnessed the illusion of the crystal ball with his own eyes, which clearly named the two people in front of him as kidnappers. This is different from Scrimgeour, who only listened to Schelling's one-sided words, so he could not make up his mind to attack the two guards. What if the information is wrong? Offending the forces behind Black Crime Plaza is no joke.
Xie Lin confirmed the identity of the other party's kidnapper, and he knew that he would not have arrested the wrong person.
The most important thing is that he has his own considerations.
His original purpose for this action was to rescue Griffith and make a favor to Devrill, Slughorn and Scrimgeour.
Now that he knows that Black Crime Square is involved, things suddenly become much more interesting - there are many unclear relationships between Black Crime Square and pure-blood families. If the matter gets bigger, he may be able to take advantage of troubled waters. Make a profit from it, or at least attack the power of pure-blood families.
Just when the four of them were arguing, Xie Lin didn't say anything nonsense. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to his state, he directly used two stun spells to knock down both of them cleanly, leaving only a stunned person. Scrimgeour and Robards.
"Shellin, you!" Scrimgeour didn't know what to say. Why did this boy suddenly act so recklessly? He was obviously a standard Slytherin!
Schelling ignored the dropped jaws of Scrimgeour and Robards and walked straight to the storage door—it was locked.
"Open sesame!" Xie Lin knew that the anti-Aradong Huokai spell was probably cast on the door lock, so he directly used the "door breaking spell" to blast the door open. The entire door suddenly fell backwards and hit the ground with a loud bang.
In a long time ago, before "Aradong Huokai" was spread to Great Britain, the magic spell used by wizards to open locks was "open sesame". Later, a certain wizard refined the effect and invented the "door opening" spell. This spell can break the door lock, but sometimes leaves a smoking hole in the keyhole.
It was not until the 17th century that the master thief Eldon Esrickel introduced the "Aradong Hokai" he learned from Africa to Great Britain. This more sophisticated lock-picking spell suddenly became the new mainstream.
