The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts

Chapter 271: Simon and the Treasure

It's a giant squid.

It was lying under the cruise ship, with four tentacles grabbing the starboard side of the cruise ship, trying to drag the cruise ship into the sea.

The inside of the tentacles is covered with dense suction cups, and the huge suction force causes the hull to shake for the second time.

A group of people were thrown off the deck and fell into the sea with a plop. The giant squid stretched out the remaining six tentacles, rolled them up and stuffed them into its mouth.

From shooting to eating, the whole process did not take more than two seconds. Moriarty, who witnessed everything through the window, was secretly surprised.

A semi-domesticated giant squid lives in the Black Lake near Hogwarts Castle, and is very docile to the students in the school.

The giant squid swims into the shallows on sunny days, where the young Hogwarts wizards tickle its tentacles.

Moriarty remembers that during a small talk, Leon said he had pulled out a tentacle.

It was later confirmed that this was a joke, but it also showed that the giant squid is very docile.

But the giant squid under the cruise ship is extremely fast, ferocious, and devours humans. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sea monster.

How can a luxury cruise ship provoke giant squid and Tokyo ghoul at the same time?

No need to speculate, Moriarty was almost certain that there was something weird about this ship.

Or there's something on board that attracts ghouls and giant squid.

It is difficult to determine the problem of the cruise ship itself, but Moriarty can confirm whether there is anything strange on board.

He walked out of the cabin, lifted the disillusionment spell and strode towards the captain's cabin.

A panicked stream of people rushed from him to the deck, as if they could be saved if they got on the deck.

The crew tried their best to maintain order, but to no avail.

More people started to jump off the cruise ship in an attempt to escape by diving, and those who did so became the stutter of the giant squid without exception.

Moriarty passed by a crew member, his eyes flicked across the crew's eyes, and the Legilimency was activated, and he found the location of the captain's cabin.

Generally speaking, the captain is the highest command on the ship. Although the luxury cruise ship belongs to the owner's private property, when all kinds of goods and items are transported into the cruise ship, the first officer will give the captain a list.

Moriarty found that list.

However, Moriarty entered the captain's cabin and found the captain's body.

The captain, a Japanese man in his fifties, had a bloody hole in his heart, which Moriarty guessed was caused by a ghoul's sharp nails.

Moriarty didn't care about the captain's life or death, he called: "The cargo list is coming!"

A stack of papers flew from the desk into Moriarty's hands, and the alchemy matrix was activated. While quickly browsing the list, he eliminated the targets one by one.

Thousands of goods were cleared by Moriarty within five seconds, and he shouted again: "The list of goods is coming!"

Two blank sheets of paper flew over, Moriarty took them and glanced at them, his eyes lit up.

It said that the luxury cruise ship belonged to the head of the Tokugawa family, and today is the day when the head of the Tokugawa family displayed the family collection.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the head of the Tokugawa family will display five treasures of the family on the cruise ship: Liucai painting, Yata mirror, Tenmoku tea bowl, Yaodao Muramasa, and Okari shikigami.

The five treasures were brought into the top floor of the cruise ship by the head of the Tokugawa family, and no one knew the exact location.

Most of the ghouls and giant squids came for these five treasures, maybe they were also manipulated by people...

If this was the case, Moriarty would have to find the five treasures first, but before he left, he took away a guest list.

What if the ghouls and giant squid aren't after the treasure, but someone on board!

A gleam flashed in Moriarty's eyes, and things became more and more interesting.

A ball of fire appeared in his hand, and after burning the list of items, he lifted his legs and left.

There is no elevator between the eighth and ninth floors of the cruise ship. It seems that the head of the Tokugawa family is quite afraid of death.

Moriarty snorted, flew directly into a window on the ninth floor, and came to a corridor. At the end of the corridor was a vermilion door.

"Who? Who are you?"

A bodyguard spotted Moriarty and asked in Osaka dialect.

Moriarty glanced over, and the bodyguard fell to the ground.

"Wow--"

Dozens of guns stretched out in front of Moriarty!

It turned out that every window in the corridor was guarded by two bodyguards.

Moriarty was pointed at with a gun, but there was no trace of panic, and his face was calm.

He sneered, "Your Patriarch must be very afraid of death."

This sentence was spoken in Japanese, and the bodyguards understood it, and one of the small men who looked like the leader cursed angrily: "Baga!"

Moriarty didn't bother to get angry with them. He just snorted coldly, and the temperature plummeted, freezing dozens of bodyguards into ice sculptures.

"Let me see what the hell the Tokugawa Patriarch, who is afraid of death, locked himself in."

Moriarty showed a mysterious smile, walked towards the gate, and opened it with a little magic.

The moment the door opened, Moriarty turned into the head of the bodyguards and walked in.

What came into view was a luxurious hall, there were about a hundred people in it, all celebrities from all walks of life invited by the head of the Tokugawa family.

After seeing Moriarty's face clearly, the bodyguards guarding the hall did not stop him.

Moriarty was able to walk into the hall smoothly, and he saw twelve luxurious round tables where people were sitting together with unconcealable worries on their faces.

Apparently the news of the commotion outside had spread to the lobby, and reached the ears of these senior officials, presidents, celebrities and others.

Moriarty noticed that people's eyes were faintly cast towards the center of the hall, and he looked there.

There was no round table in the center of the hall, but tatami mats, and an old man with a beard and gray hair sat on it.

The old man was wearing a black kimono, with his eyes closed, and he had an air of calm and prestige.

There were no guards around the old man, but no one dared to approach the old man.

Moriarty identified the old man from the crew's memories, the head of the Tokugawa family.

A man in his thirties was kneeling in front of the old man, but he was also ten meters away from the old man.

The man begged bitterly, saying that he hoped the old man could let him off the boat. His wife and daughter were still waiting for him at Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

The man spoke Japanese, which made Moriarty a little more curious about his identity, because the man was obviously Caucasian.

At the same time, Moriarty also noticed that the guests showed sympathy for the man, and under their worried faces, they hid their complaints against the Tokugawa Patriarch.

It's just that because of the Tokugawa family and the bodyguards on the ninth floor, they dare not speak out.

"Mr Simon Farid..."

The old man spoke suddenly, his voice was deep, but very penetrating. The man whose name was called raised his head excitedly, waiting for the next sentence.

"You are the distinguished guest I invited to appraise the treasure. If the treasure is not on the stage, you can't leave."

Simon shook his head in pain, "But, but outside—you know, we encountered monsters!"

Some guests echoed in a low voice, Simon seemed to gain confidence, and his voice became firm: "Can you let me go?

I'll give you double what you pay, I just want to get off the cruise ship, I want to live, my wife and daughter can't live without me! "

The voices of guests requesting to disembark became louder, and Patriarch Tokugawa opened his eyes in a "swipe", and swept towards the crowd with sharp eyes, and the guests immediately fell silent.

"Mr. Simon," the head of the Tokugawa family said in a deep voice, "You are very knowledgeable, and you have studied the culture of my Great East in depth. I will not make things difficult for you.

Go down, go back to the table and wait quietly for the arrival of seven o'clock!

As for the safety issue you are worried about, I can guarantee the reputation of the Tokugawa family that the monsters outside will not be able to attack. "

Patriarch Tokugawa paused slightly, and then said to everyone: "I can assure you of this to everyone present!"

Most of the guests present were from Dongying, they clearly understood the importance of the Tokugawa family, and gradually felt relieved.

Only Simon shook his head reluctantly. The head of the Tokugawa family beckoned, and the two bodyguards walked over, took Simon's arms, and dragged Simon away.

Along the way, Simon struggled and muttered some words that others could not understand.

The guests laughed, but Moriarty gave Simon a deep look.

What Simon muttered was an ancient language that was gradually disappearing, and Moriarty heard Nico Flamel speak the same tone of language.

At that time, Nicole Flamel also said that there are no more than ten people in the world who can speak this language!

That language is Hebrew!
