The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 382 Call
That sounds reasonable. Xing Ze recited it silently in his heart again. He continued to pretend to be serious as he listened to Jezebeth’s plan.
Very different from Todd’s previous plan, Jezebeth planned to sneak into Brichester College. The association had a meeting point there, located in an abandoned clock tower on the old campus, and the trucks before came to unload the goods. The place is in the bell tower.
Before that, she had sent people to investigate, and there seemed to be no problems with the bell tower. But after several follow-ups and in-depth observations, Jezebeth believed that there was a space beneath the bell tower, the same as the Kimball family’s house.
As for this, Jezebeth told Xing Ze not to worry. Important officials sent by the association had arrived in the morning, and the matter would be left to the professionals.
Xing Ze did not raise any objections, but only asked about the time of action. Jezebeth told him that because time was urgent, they would set off in an hour.
She asked Xing Ze to prepare within this hour, and generously provided some potions that could restore magic power, which was exactly what Xing Ze needed now.
There was a potion in his ring to restore magic power, but due to the depletion of magic power caused by the previous battle, he did not even have the magic power to turn on the Traceless Stretch Spell. After this period of time, although the magic power recovered somewhat, it was used for the apparition just now.
Now, there was a free potion on offer, and of course he wouldn’t refuse it. However, due to the poisonous tea before, he was cautious and did not use the magic potion immediately.
It’s said to be preparation, but for Xing Ze, it’s more like doing nothing. All his belongings are basically in the ring, so there is no need to prepare anything deliberately. However, considering that he does not have much magic power now, Xing Ze plans to bring some firearms. Although these weapons are not as powerful as magic, they are better at quick attacks and continuous suppression.
Thinking of this, he went to the head chef and asked him if Todd’s three guns were still there. Fortunately, the three guns were put away by the head chef and hidden in the office.
“Come with me, I’ll take you to get it.” The head chef said in a neither humble nor condescending manner. He lost the flattery just now and looked a little more strong.
The office has been cleaned, and Emily and the few people who came after her have been very efficient. The carpet under the table has been replaced, and the blood stains around it have disappeared, at least it is difficult to detect with the naked eye. If no one cares about the whereabouts of these three people, I’m afraid the police will just treat them as a missing person case.
Of course, this is unlikely. As long as a person is alive, there will be communication, and when there is communication, there will be people who will miss you. What’s more, for an association manager like Todd, he must see a lot of people on weekdays.
It was not Xing Ze’s turn to worry about how to hide this matter. He picked one of the three pistols and checked the ammunition. The magazines were full of exorcism bullets. It was really a waste of money.
“Can you give me the other two magazines?” Xing Ze asked the chef.
The head chef didn’t say much, picked up the other two guns and handed them over.
Xing Ze took off the magazine and put it on his waist, and asked again: “I just heard Todd say that during the plague last year, did you take the medicine they refined?”
When this matter was brought up, the head chef’s face darkened slightly and he replied: “That medicine was not developed by Todd and the others at all.”
“Oh, really? But I heard Roman say that they found the antidote from ancient alchemy manuals.”
The head chef pushed the drawer back and explained impatiently: “Miss Jezebeth obviously found it.”
“That’s it.” Xing Ze nodded, and he figured out one more thing.
After walking out of the office, Xing Ze went to the front desk of the restaurant and asked for a phone number. He first dialed the police station. After learning that Ai Li and Rui Ben had gone out to do errands, he wanted to hang up, but the police officer who answered the phone said he could call them. Calls are forwarded to the University of Liverpool.
Xing Ze thought for a while and asked him to transfer it. It took a while for the call to be received by Ellie.
The eldest lady’s voice came from the other end, “I know what Frank is looking for.”
“What a coincidence, I just figured it out too.”
“Oh? Then you say it first.”
“He came to Brichester to find a man named Douglas Kimball, or perhaps to find his nephew Thomas Kimball. There are clues that the book “Serpent’s Teeth” is in Kimball’s house ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Ellie replied with some confusion: “Kimball? I found out locally that Frank’s team once went to investigate the Hawkins family. A lost family. They tried every means to make this family in the United States. A branch of the Vincecott family came back to inherit the old house at 78 Hurst Street, Merseyside.”
“Wait, you just said it was the Hawkins family?”
“Yes, the Hawkins family started from the black slave business. They were once celebrities in Liverpool. But now they no longer have any legitimate descendants.”
“That’s not good.”
“What’s the meaning?”
“Douglas Kimball’s grandfather was from the Hawkins family and was kicked out of the family, so he was erased from the family tree.”
“Aha, it seems that everything is connected. In addition, John wrote a letter. He asked from Richard Gunter that “Snake’s Teeth” was originally sold to a witch, and he was not considered a high-ranking person. Price. He said the witch lived in Brichester all year round.”
“The witch should be named Cady Kimball, a member of the Society of Unsolved Mysteries. She is Douglas’s grandmother. Did John go to find out?”
“He went.” The eldest lady replied, “The Gaunt family’s information is kept in the local library and is quite messy. He asked Edwin and Reko to help. It will probably take a while to check it, so there is little hope. So have you found Kimball’s family?”
“No. Douglas disappeared decades ago. And just recently, Thomas disappeared as well.”
“Snake man?” Ellie guessed.
“It is very possible that the Hawkins family has been cursed by the snake man…”
The eldest lady took over the conversation and said, “Because they wanted to open up the underground waterway for smuggling black slaves, but accidentally ran into a snake man.”
Xing Ze was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that Ellie had found out so many things in such a short period of time. “It seems that you have gained a lot there.”
“This is just speculation at the moment. I have asked people to conduct further investigation to see if more clues can be found. In addition, I will ask Ribbon to search for the name Douglas Kimball and see if Where he was last seen.”
“Yes.” Xing Ze responded, “I still need to deal with some things here, and I will come back when I’m done. Oh, do you know about the things about Emberhead Village?”
“I haven’t heard of it. What happened?”
“That village was a lair of the snake people, and it has now been destroyed. Like the surviving snake believers, I fled to other places. For details, you can ask Ribbon to go to Telford Police Station to ask.”
“I will. So, that’s it?”
“That’s it.” Xing Ze paused for a while, then said: “Pay attention to safety.”
“the same as you.”
