I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Chapter 773 The Vanishing Cabinet

Captain Carlos knew this box, which didn't surprise Rolf, because... he knew it too.

There are many similar boxes in Scamander's old house. Their purpose is similar to Muggle safes, used to store important documents or valuables.

It is impossible for a wizard to store everything in Gringotts' vault. Just like gold, the family will have some reserves at home, so a magic safe is necessary.

Rove bought some specially and put them in a black leather suitcase. He put his and Shirley's galleons in them to prevent fire and theft... and sniffing!

Therefore, it is normal for Captain Carlos to recognize the box. The key is whether he has the key and can open it.

Rolf did not find the key on Kurga and could only place his hope on Captain Carlos.

Can't it be destroyed by force?

Really can't!

The box in front of me is called the Iron Treasury, and it was built by goblins.

Robustness is one thing, but the most important thing is that there is magic inside it. When it encounters damage beyond the strength it can withstand, the magic will be released to destroy the stored things so that they cannot be obtained by outsiders.

The box that Kurga will take with him when he dies must contain important items, and it may even involve Avalon.

Therefore, Rolf was cautious and pinned his hope of opening the box on Captain Carlos.

The reason is simple. Carlos and Kurga are close friends who grew up together, and most importantly...he married his sister-in-law.

Yes, the year after Kurga disappeared, his wife Mira, who was six months pregnant, married Captain Carlos.

It really fully embodies the sentence: I will support your wife!

As Kurga's widow—Carlos's wife—Mira has a high probability of possessing the backup key to the box.

"I have to ask Mira." Captain Carlos pondered: "But more than half a century has passed, and it's hard to say whether the key is still there."

The old man said, opened the drawer and took out a mirror.

It was a double-sided mirror that could make a remote "video call" with another wizard holding the corresponding mirror through magic.

This is also a sailor's favorite magic item.

Captain Carlos tapped the mirror with his finger. After a moment, an old woman with gray hair appeared in the mirror. She asked in a hoarse voice:

"Royal, what's wrong?"

"Mira, do you remember this box?"

The old woman stared at the box through the double-sided mirror with cloudy eyes. She quickly lost her composure and said:

"This is Kurga's...I bought it from Gringotts before he went to sea. Where did you find it?"

"I can't explain it to you in a short time. I'll have a detailed chat with you later." Carlos asked, "Can you still find the key to the box?"

The old woman fell into deep thought. After a long time, she slowly said:

"I'm going to take a look at the old warehouse. I've stored all the old things there... Camillatz, come here quickly and help me to the warehouse."

With that said, the old woman's figure left the mirror.

"Kamirats is my granddaughter. You can see her soon." Captain Carlos winked and said proudly, "I'm waiting to see you regret it."

"regret?"

"Yeah, didn't I say before that I wanted to introduce my granddaughter to you? You refused directly." Captain Carlos snorted coldly:

"When you see my beautiful granddaughter, you will definitely regret your decision back then!"

Rolf smiled.

"By the way, we will set off soon." Captain Carlos said, "Even if we find the key, I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver it in a short time."

"This is simple." Luo Fu sat on the chair and said calmly:

"You can ask your beautiful granddaughter to deliver the key to Kowalski's Bakery."

"Kowalski's Bakery?"

Carlos knew about this bakery in Queens, New York, because Margery, the granddaughter of the owners, the Kowalskis, and his own granddaughter were both students in Ilvermorny and were good friends.

But he was surprised, why did Luo Fe know that bakery in the United States?

Rolf seemed to know what the old man was thinking, and he explained:

"Queenie Kowalski is my grandma's sister, of course I know her."

Captain Carlos looked stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

About half an hour later, the figure of the old woman appeared in front of the double-sided mirror again, and there was a witch about eighteen or nineteen years old beside her, staring curiously at the mirror.

"Grandpa, where is the Mayflower now?"

"We have arrived at the seaport of Dover in England, and we will leave for Normandy in France shortly." Captain Carlos said lovingly:

"Kamirats, grandpa will introduce you to a wizard. This one is famous..."

Before Captain Carlos could finish speaking, Camillaz looked at Rove with surprise on his face and said hello:

"Hey, Rolf, why are you on the Mayflower too? Are you coming to the United States? Where is Margaery, is she with you?"

"I want to go to Iceland, not the United States." Luo Fe laughed: "Margaery will return to the United States with my grandma probably in mid-July."

"Oh, great." Camillaz said happily: "I haven't seen her in almost a year."

Captain Carlos said in shock: "You... know each other?"

"Yes." Luo Fu spread his hands and said, "Your granddaughter and I have known each other two years ago."

"..."

Carlos asked with a dull look in his eyes:

"Kamirats...why haven't I heard you say that?"

Camillaz scratched her head in embarrassment. She remembered meeting Rolf for the first time and thought he was the kidnapper who kidnapped Margaery.

She was an intern with the Muggle police at the time. Wearing a police uniform and holding a gun, she rushed to Margaery's house, but was caught by Rolf with her backhand and handcuffed by him...

Of course she was embarrassed to talk about such a shameful black history.

Seeing his granddaughter's coquettish appearance, Captain Carlos felt as if his home had been stolen by a wild boar!

He just said that Luo Fu would regret it, and you have known each other for a long time? !

"Did you find the key?" Rove asked.

"If I remember correctly, it should be this one." The old woman picked up a curved key.

"Kamirats, now please go to Kowalski's Bakery and give the key to Grandma Queenie." Rolf said, "Just say I have an urgent need and she will know what to do."

"I understand." Camillaz nodded solemnly and quickly apparated away.

Rove opened the black suitcase again, waved his wand lightly, and a large cabinet flew out.

It was a black and gold cabinet, with runes engraved on the cabinet door, and the crow crest of the Lestrange family on the cabinet door. Although it was small, it was extremely clear.

Captain Carlos looked at the box. He looked at it for a long time and said with shock on his face: "Is this... a disappearing cabinet?"

"Yes," said Rolf.

The so-called disappearing cabinet is a special alchemy item. There are two in total. You can get into one cabinet and come out of the other... faster than any door.

"This is really a good thing." Captain Carlos praised. With this cabinet, if you encounter a shipwreck, you can escape in time!

"It's definitely not cheap, is it?" he asked.

"It's not bad." Luo Fe said, "I bought it for eight hundred galleons."

Captain Carlos was drinking, and he squirted out without even taking a breath.

He had encountered a pair of disappearing cabinets before, which were much smaller than this one. They were only the size of a shoe box and cost seven thousand Zhuoguo (American magic currency)... He was reluctant to buy them.

This eight hundred galleons is like picking it up for free!

"The shop owner originally asked me for four thousand galleons." Rove explained: "But there was only one vanishing cabinet, and it was broken, so I was able to buy it at a low price."

Captain Carlos suddenly realized it, but he had to sigh that being able to repair it was also a skill. After all, the broken disappearance cabinet in his hands was just scrap metal.

Rolf still repaired it under Nico's guidance, and the other disappearing cabinet was in Hogwarts, and he happened to get it.

Later, Margery wanted to take one away and put it at home in the United States, so that she could see Rolf at any time and harass him at night.

At this moment, the key can be transferred.

After about twenty minutes, Luo Fe opened the cabinet door, and a curved key appeared inside. It was made of bronze and had an ivory handle.

The young man picked up the key, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and after three very gentle rings, the box finally opened.

Looking at the contents of the box, even the well-informed Luo Fu opened his blue eyes in surprise.
