God of the Universe Begins with Harry Potter

This time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the third Horcrux they destroyed - and Harry himself was the fourth.

Next, there are three Horcruxes waiting for them.

In fact, while Ye Ting, Hermione and Furong destroyed two Horcruxes in a row, Zhang Qiu and Penello gained a lot.

Their mission is to find Hufflepuff's golden cup, which is not an easy one.

All along, the four relics of the four founders of Hogwarts are legendary items that occasionally appear in history, but soon disappear again, which makes one have to think that these relics exist. Just rumors.

However, just like Ye Ting's search for Slytherin's relics started with the descendants of Slytherin, Zhang Qiu and Penello quickly determined the direction of their search: first, they were looking for the descendants of Hufflepuff. .

Although relics are passed down from generation to generation, the possibility of loss is quite high, but compared to finding a needle in a haystack, starting from the descendants of Hufflepuff is a relatively safe direction.

Through Ye Ting's connection, the two girls were able to search for Hufflepuff's descendants in the Ministry of Magic's archives.

Sadly, the Ministry's archives are not as convenient as future Muggles will be able to retrieve them through a computer.

It took Zhang Qiu and Penello several days to find relevant information in the pile of old papers.

In the early twentieth century, there was indeed a witch named Hepziba Smith who claimed to be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff.

What excites them even more is that the witch is very wealthy and an avid collector of magical antiques.

A wealthy wizard—especially an antique collector—is more likely to hold a Hufflepuff relic than the average person, and the collector himself is a Hufflepuff heir (even if claiming to be a Hufflepuff). ) is greatly increased.

After all, ordinary wizards may sell the antiques left by their ancestors because of poverty. Many declining pure-blood families have not done such things.

Even now, there are still many pure-blood families who sell antiques in order to maintain a luxurious life.

But a wealthy collector would never do that.

Instead, such a wealthy collector would go out of his way to collect antiques, especially the witch who claimed to be descended from Hufflepuff.

Even if she doesn't have Hufflepuff's relics herself, as a Hufflepuff heir, she will try her best to find them.

Then, starting from her is the most likely to find Hufflepuff's gold cup.

Worst of all, you can also find clues to the golden cup.

However, when they were ready to go further and want to start with Hepziba Smith herself, or her descendants, they were disappointed to find that Hepziba Smith had died in 1946.

According to Ministry of Magic documents, Hepzibah Smith died when her house-elf Hokey accidentally put a rare and deadly poison instead of sugar in her hostess's cocoa tea. It led to the death of Hepzibah Smith.

Even the house-elves themselves admitted it.

Fortunately, Ms. Hepzibah Smith has no descendants, but has a family, and her brothers and sisters and the descendants of her brothers and sisters have inherited her property.

So they set out to find Hepzibah Smith's surviving relatives.

If there is news of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, it must be in the hands of these people.

Soon, they identified one target, and that was Hepziba Smith's sister, Manasseh Smith.

The Smith family is indeed a big family. Hepzibah has a total of four siblings, and she is the second eldest of the family.

Manasseh Smith is much younger than Hepzibah Smith, she is the youngest of five siblings, but also has the best relationship with Hepzibah, so, Hepzibah's estate and A considerable part of the property was inherited by Manasseh Smith.

Fortunately, Manasseh Smith himself is still alive.

So, at the recommendation of Borns, Zhang Qiu and Penello came to visit Manasseh himself.

Manasseh's home is a large Victorian manor on the outskirts of London, and Manasseh himself has always lived in the manor.

After arriving at the manor, it was a house elf who opened the door for the two girls.

This is probably the thinnest and oldest house-elf Penello and Zhang Qiu have ever seen. Their heads are only up to the waists of the two girls, and their paper-like skin hangs on the skeleton, like the thin piece of skin draped over her body. Like linen robes.

Led by the house-elves, the girls entered the manor.

Chapter 0318 Manasseh Smith

In the center of the manor is a three-story villa where Manasseh Smith lives.

The house-elf went ahead and opened the door to the villa for the two girls.

When the two girls walked into the villa and at the first glance in the foyer, they found that the villa was indeed the property left by Hepziba Smith, an avid collector.

A wide variety of antiques and collectibles can be found in every corner of the villa.

On the way the elf led them to meet Manasseh, they saw many dazzling collections.

There are vases of different styles in every corner, and there is a pair of knight armors on the corridor, which look like the products of goblins. Zhang Qiu suspects that they can move freely like the armor of Hogwarts.

As they passed the fireplace, they saw the heads of many animals hanging on it, like Muggle nobles showing off their hunts, but the heads were from magical creatures.

Among these heads, only the magical creatures that Penello recognizes are the fire gray snake, the big-headed hair monster, the soft-clawed land shrimp, the Reem cow, etc., and there are some that Penello does not recognize. One of them is like A large durian or a large balloon full of thorns grew a leopard head, and this specimen made her feel the most dangerous.

In addition, they also saw many kinds of copper utensils, and many lush plants grew vigorously from these utensils.The plants looked neat and tidy, and the house-elves were clearly well-pruned.

Finally, after crossing the living room and up the stairs, the house-elf opened a thick wooden door for them.

Behind the wooden door was a study. On the lounge chair in the center of the study, they saw a very fat and fat old lady. The old lady was wearing a green floral robe and a pair of tight satin shoes on her fat feet.

Obviously, this old lady is the owner of the manor, Hepziba Smith's sister, Manasseh Smith.

The house elf took Ms. Burns's introduction letter from Penello and handed it to the old lady. After the old lady read the letter for a while, she rudely drove the house elf away.
