Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 317 Tomb Raiders

evening.

The investigation team members all gathered in the fairy Brin's room.

"What's going on? Why haven't we heard back yet?" Mary asked anxiously. "Could there be something wrong with the gold coins you made?"

"You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt a fairy's craftsmanship!" Fairy Brin said, quite displeased. "Perhaps the other party was too far away with the gold coins."

"Let's try again," Conrad said.

The fairy pudding took the fairy coin again, channeled magic into it, and said, "Hello, hello, is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?"

However, the gold coin remained silent, and no sound came from it.

"Do you think it's possible that the Aurors discovered our movements?" one of the wizards asked.

"Impossible. If that were the case, we would already be under interrogation, or at least they would have confiscated our gold coins," said another wizard.

"It looks like we won't get anything today. Let's try again tomorrow."

But at that moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the gold coin.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

The fairy Brin quickly pressed her finger on it, infusing it with magic. "Hey, is anyone there? Who's there?"

However, the next second, the connection was cut off, and the other side became silent again.

"What happened?"

"Could it be that someone found a gold coin and stumbled upon it by chance?"

"Impossible. These coins require active infusion of magic to establish a connection," said the fairy Brin. "The other party must have done it intentionally..."

Before he could finish speaking, the rustling sound came from the gold coins again.

Before the fairy pudding could speak again, a voice suddenly came from the other end, "Investigation team?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment. "How did he know who we were?"

But before they could figure it out, a voice came from the coin again, "Your actions were too risky. This coin was almost picked up by an Auror."

Everyone was startled, but then breathed a sigh of relief; the other party didn't seem to be with the Aurors.

"Who are you?" Mary asked impatiently, placing her hand on the gold coin.

"There are people who can help you," the other person said. "I've been observing this yard for a long time. I know you've been locked up, and we've been looking for you everywhere."

"You want to help us? How can you help?"

"I'll prepare a door key," the other said. "I noticed a house-elf is taking care of your meals, isn't that right?"

"Yes," Mary replied.

She didn't completely trust the other person, but at this moment, she couldn't think of any reason why they would lie to them.

"I saw that house-elf buying groceries. I'll find a way to use it to get you the key to the door. You just need to grab the key and use the activation spell to leave."

"How do you plan to use that little sprite?"

"I don't know, I'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'll carefully check the things the house-elves gave me."

"Remember, the incantation to activate the door key is 'Long live the fairies!'"

"What?" the fairy Brin exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be that you are...?"

"Yes, my kin," the other said. "I will be waiting for you in a safe place."

"Don't use gold coins to contact us rashly; the Aurors might find out. Goodbye."

"Remember, long live fairy freedom!"

The call ended, and no matter how much Mary spoke, there was no sound from the other end.

"The opponent has removed the magic from the gold coin!" the fairy Brin exclaimed joyfully. "It was a fairy; only my kind know how to use this kind of gold coin!"

"But this could be a trap," one wizard said. "Weren't all the goblins in England captured by Murphy?"

“How is that possible? My people outnumber wizards just as many as I do!” said the goblin Brin. “How is Murphy going to capture so many goblins?! It will cause public outrage. Aren’t there still some goblins working in Gringotts? The other party must be one of our own who has infiltrated! Did you hear his password? Long live goblin freedom! He must also be preparing to rescue his captured brethren!”

"Isn't this the result we wanted? What are you worried about?"

……

the next day.

"Ouch!" A wizard cried out in pain while eating. Then, he pulled a ball of wire out of his mouth, looked at the bread in his left hand, and was about to get angry when suddenly an idea struck him. He quietly put the wire away.

At noon, everyone looked at the wire on the table and asked, "Is this the key they were talking about?"

"How did he manage to put the wire in the bread?"

"Have you found anything else that looks more like a door key elsewhere?"

"Give it a try, you'll see," Mary said. This awful place was driving her crazy, and she couldn't wait to leave.

"Wait," Conrad stopped her. "Wait until night. If we disappear now, we'll likely be discovered. Just to be safe, we should delay their discovery as much as possible."

……

It was evening, just as night was falling.

The group gathered again in Brin's room, holding the wire that, when unfolded, was large enough for several people to grab onto.

They glanced at each other; their shared hardships recently had forged a bond of friendship between them.

"Wish us luck," Mary said.

"Long live fairy freedom!"

The group of people suddenly disappeared from the room.

The next instant, on a hill dozens of kilometers away, a fairy waited quietly.

Suddenly, a spatial vortex appeared in front of him, and then several people tumbled out of it with a thud.

He raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "My lord, they've arrived. Everything is going according to plan."

After finishing his report, he stepped forward and took the fairy Brin's hand. "You're too late! I've been waiting here all day!"

"I'm sorry, we have to wait until nightfall to buy ourselves more time," Conrad said.

The fairy nodded. "A very wise idea. My name is Jin Kou."

The wizards introduced themselves, and then Mary said, "Goldlock, can you help us leave England? We must report back to the Federation. Murphy has imprisoned the investigation team; he's practically making himself an enemy of the Federation!"

Jin Kou looked at them. "No, you can't leave England. You still have things to finish!"

"What?" Mary was taken aback.

"I didn't rescue you so you could leave now. You must help my people achieve liberation! They are being held captive by Murphy, and I rescued you so you can free them!"

The fairy Brin nodded. "Yes, isn't that why you came to England this time?!"

The wizards exchanged glances. "But we don't have wands."

Fairy Gold Buckle took out another door key from her bosom. "Come with me, I've prepared everything for you."

After a while.

The wizarding cemetery behind Hogsmeade Village.

Two fairies and several wizards suddenly appeared.

Fairy Gold Buckle tossed several shovels to the wizards, pointing to their graves. "Many wizards are buried with their wands. There are enough wizard graves here, so there are enough wands."

"You...you want us to rob graves?!" Mary exclaimed in shock.

"Otherwise what? How do you think we fairies are supposed to get our hands on a magic wand?!"
