Chapter 1015: Elaine’s Information

The sudden appearance of Elaine was an unexpected gain.

Mad-Eye and Sirius had many things they wanted to ask her, but their looks seemed to frighten her.

She didn’t say anything, just buried her head in Evan’s chest.

In the end, only Evan could ask questions because only he could get a response from Elaine.

“What were you doing, hiding in the rocks?” Evan started looking for clothes for Elaine; this girl wore too small sizes!

“I heard a noise and knew someone was coming, so I hurriedly climbed in … never thought it would be you,” said Elaine aggrievedly, putting down the wand. “Evan, if I knew it was you, I wouldn’t have hidden. You’re here to help me?”

“Hmm,” at this mindless question, Evan could only nod. “What on earth is going on?”

Harry, Sirius, and Mad-Eye Moody also looked at her, waiting for her explanation and more information.

Everything tonight happened too suddenly, and things were confusing. Besides the dream Harry saw, they knew nothing else.

Elaine’s appearance might help them answer relevant questions.

“I sneaked out and followed my uncle here. He’s been acting really strangely lately, which made me feel uneasy. Tonight, he unexpectedly gave me the wand left by our ancestor Salazar Slytherin. He said it would protect me from being affected by that thing. He asked me to leave with everyone and never come back again … either to the United States or to England to find you. He asked me to choose,” said Elaine, her face revealing weakness, sadness, and exhaustion that were hard to conceal. “I don’t know what happened, but I could feel it. The entire family has gone mad, or is falling into madness. Panic and unease have spread within the family these days, affecting them, making them gradually abnormal. Many people have also disappeared, never to return. My uncle says it’s their fate.”

“That thing?” Evan looked at her hesitantly. Elaine’s words revealed a lot of information.

It seemed that, for some reason, the vampire society had begun to collapse internally. Many people disappeared, and here, “disappeared” was not simply leaving or escaping. Since Caresius mentioned fate, it was almost certain that they had already died. But why?!

And he gave Elaine the wand left by Slytherin and said it would protect her.

Evan saw Elaine take out a white wand from her arm, about ten inches long, with many subtle red lines on it. The end was engraved with the Slytherin family emblem, a capital S letter like a snake. It was the wand of Salazar himself.

As soon as he got the wand, Evan felt his magic power become active.

There was no doubt that this wand possessed great power and could release powerful magic just like the Elder Wand. Evan had no doubt about this, but Caresius said it could protect Elaine from being affected by that thing … this sentence was very strange.

“Elaine, what is that thing that you said will affect you all?”

“I don’t know. No one told me. No matter how I asked, they wouldn’t say. Because of my uncle’s protection, I haven’t felt it, but others heard a voice talking to them. The clan never dared to discuss that thing. They said it could hear them. If they had to mention it, they only used ‘it’ instead.”

“All right … this thing, is it the trouble, as you told me before, your family is facing?” Evan asked in a different direction.

“Yeah, that’s it,” Elaine nodded vigorously and added, “everyone in the family knows about its existence, knows that it was left by our ancestor Salazar Slytherin, and knows that it has strong power. But no one knows what it is, only my uncle and a few elders know, and only they have seen that thing…”

They all looked at each other; things seemed to be getting weirder.

A trouble left by Salazar Slytherin, but most vampires didn’t know what this trouble was. They didn’t even dare to mention it. That thing seemed to be alive and very powerful, could affect vampires and speak to them. What on earth was that thing?

No matter how it sounded, it was scary. Could it be a part of the body of the evil god that Salazar had taken away back then?!

“We’ve noticed the vampire’s abnormal behavior, what are you going to do?” Moody suddenly asked. It’s been a long time since he reported it to Dumbledore.

Sirius also said that most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix were now guarding there because they were worried about what Voldemort and the vampires were up to.

Elaine didn’t answer immediately. She looked at Mad-Eye in fear and shrank back into Evan’s arms. Whether it was the scarred face, the broken nose, or the constantly rotating magical eye, they all made her feel scared. She raised her head and looked at Evan, and only told what she knew after he motioned her to speak out.

“Uncle told them to escape to the United States because our efforts to seal it failed. There was no point in staying here! There is ancient magic in the United States that may protect them from harm. People in the clan are saying this is the last chance. If they stay here, once that thing comes, they won’t be able to escape!”

“Escape?!” Evan was stunned for a moment. “A few months ago, you decided to seek Voldemort’s help to solve it. I also told your uncle that if you need my help, just let me know. Why has it turned into this situation now and you have to run away? You can seal it…”

“It failed. They didn’t tell me what happened; they kept it from me. I deduced it myself, but it’s almost certain.” When this topic came up, Elaine’s tears flowed uncontrollably again. “Voldemort didn’t help us. The efforts to seal it again failed. I told my uncle we should come to you, but he didn’t agree. He said the power of that thing is increasing, and the strongest seal left by Salazar himself is about to break. No matter who comes, there’s nothing he can do…”

“Don’t cry anymore, I’m here for everything!” Evan wiped away her tears. “Tell me everything you know.”

“Mhm…” Elaine nodded, using Evan’s clothes to wipe away her tears as well. “Uncle said that for a thousand years, our clan has been guarding here, fulfilling the will of our ancestors and protecting ourselves. Because once it breaks free from the seal and is unrestricted by blood ties, everyone in our clan will die. Starting from a few years ago, the sealing power left by Salazar has been weakening, and the clan has been trying to strengthen the seal again, but without success. Many people say that only the person mentioned in the prophecy can help us, but we chose the wrong person. Voldemort is not that person, and everything went to waste.”

Evan already knew about that prophecy; it seemed that the vampires ultimately chose Voldemort, and it had ended in failure.

Besides the trouble of that impending breakthrough from the seal, what happened in the ruins during this process was the most crucial.

Voldemort seemed to have gained a lot. He even dared to make the statue of the evil god into his own Horcrux, and reached an agreement with the evil god.

If he didn’t know anything, Evan wouldn’t believe Voldemort would dare to do this.

However, what Elaine knew was limited, and more information had to be obtained from Caresius.
