The Evil God of Hogwarts

After learning more about the Hawkins family from Chiwetel, Ellie and Scott walked out of the office with their own ideas.

The two came to a beverage shop inside the university. The heat was unbearable. They planned to relieve themselves from the heat while discussing the information they had just received.

As for the professor of the Department of Architecture, the eldest lady was not in a hurry to visit him. Now that it is known that Frank and his team are investigating the old Hawkins house, Julia came to the professor to confirm the sewer system of the old house.

Regarding these, she can use the power of the police to ask the city hall to provide sewer blueprints. As for the older ones, she can also ask the library or university to provide them for reading.

So now, what she is most concerned about is what happened to the Hawkins family. A family with so many rumors, a family that was once all-powerful in Liverpool, finally disappeared, leaving not even a single descendant, but only a collateral bloodline on the other side of the ocean.

This is extremely abnormal in the eyes of the eldest lady, because she knows the family too well. Those famous families will try their best to continue the bloodline. Even if the entire family is destroyed, the bloodline will still be there. It is unthinkable that this kind of rupture will Dropping real numbers is uncommon.

After Scott took his seat, he eagerly expressed his opinion. He whispered: "Hawkins must have encountered a snake man."

Ellie also feels that this possibility is very high, but I am afraid that the real facts require further investigation. She picked up the iced coffee on hand and took a sip. The cold and bitter taste instantly awakened her groggy brain.

"The Hawkins family was unable to operate the slave business due to the ban, so they tried to use the underground waterway to smuggle slaves." The eldest lady began to make assumptions, "While building the passage to the dock, they encountered the snake people."

"Yes, that's it." Scott agreed excitedly, "They met the snake people, which led to the destruction of the family."

"But that's too long. Prohibition was signed in 1807. If the Hawkins family wanted to use the underground passage, it couldn't have been built that long. But you just heard it. , the last legitimate heir in the family died in 1939.

"If we really encountered a snake man, this family would never last that long. There must be a reason for this."

After hearing this, Scott also began to think deeply. After a while, he came up with another theory, "Did they make some kind of deal? You know, many people will make deals with the devil. Are you talking about snake people and people?" The Old Records Gang has always cooperated.”

The eldest lady nodded, Scott's mind is indeed very flexible, and she also has this idea. But it still doesn't make sense. Although the Hawkins family enjoyed a brief period of glory through transformation, it was only a flash in the pan. If they really reach a cooperation with the Snake Man, it shouldn't be smooth sailing, just like the Old Record Gang today.

Therefore, she believed that the Hawkins family disturbed the snakemen there when they were building the underground passage, thereby provoking the revenge of this group of ferocious beasts, but the snakemen were not so powerful at that time.

If this declining civilization could compete with humans, it would never have lived in the sewers for so long. Even now, they are just hiding behind the old record gang and secretly controlling everything.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady sighed. Everything was still assumptions and conjectures. Although things had some clues, new questions also followed one after another.

Where is the snake man's lair? She couldn't let all the police in Liverpool go into the sewers. Also, who is Kimball that Frank is looking for and what role he played in it.

Of course, there was a simple question that needed to be answered: why did Julia park her car at the academy instead of driving away. The question seemed stupid, but Ellie couldn't help but think about it.

As a child of a wealthy family, her companions are all celebrities and children of big families. Cars, clothes, jewelry, and even a humble handkerchief are all status symbols.

These objects mark a person's social status and represent identity and symbol. Julia was obviously born into a wealthy family. From Chiwetel's words, it is not difficult to see that this woman speaks appropriately, behaves appropriately and unrestrainedly, and has a very open and clear mind. It is obvious that she has received a good education.

It is obviously impossible for such a woman to leave her car and walk in Liverpool. So either someone was picking her up or she had another car.

But why does she go to such great lengths? You must understand that wealth brings not only material enjoyment and spiritual satisfaction, but also the convenience of life.

One coin can get you a thank you from a beggar on the street, a hundred dollar bill can get you professional service from a high-end restaurant waiter, and a thousand dollars can help you enjoy accommodation, food and various services in a high-end hotel.

This is convenience. After getting used to this, it is difficult for people to adapt to a different life. You know where the tea leaves in your cup come from, you know they are expensive, you know how much water is needed to brew, and you know how many times it should be filtered.

But in the end that cup of tea was handed to you from someone else, not brewed by you. In the same way, Julia has a car, a car that can prove her identity, allow her to travel smoothly in Liverpool, and bring convenience to her.

Why should she give up?

Ellie did not continue to dwell on this issue. Her old man asked: "Mark the old Hawkins house on your map and see if there are any new discoveries."

Scott nodded, quickly took out the map, marked it for a while, and then looked at it carefully. He quickly replied: "I can't see any changes."

"Then let's assume that the old house is used as the snake man's lair and let's see what happens."

"Well -" Scott made the comparison again, "If we take old homes as a starting point, the latest attacks on nursing homes and shelters all occurred nearby. But as time goes by, nursing homes in farther places also Something happened. I’m not sure if it has something to do with the snake people.”

After hearing this, Ellie thought for a while and said: "If I can get the map of the sewer, combined with your markings, maybe I can determine the movement trajectory of those snake people."

"I think so too, but we need permission from the school. I don't just want current sewer maps, but also ones from the 18th and 19th centuries. These are only available in the library of the University of Liverpool."

"Then let's see if the architecture professor is willing to provide convenience."

Scott picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "With you here, I think there won't be any problems."
