Chapter 380 The Mystery of the Elves

Sarfu approached the display shelf against the wall and observed the organs soaked in liquid on the shelf.

After observing for a while, Sarfu's eyebrows slightly curved and whispered: "Master, these don't look like human organs..."

"I know," Xielin showed a strange look on his face, "Can you guess what it is?"

Sarfu tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head gently.

"These organs..." Xielin said slowly: "They are from house elves..."

With a sound of "Puff", Shanshan's whole body softened, and the whole short body seemed to lose its backbone and collapsed to the ground, and the eyes that were struggling to open were full of horror.

Xellin gently waved his wand at Shanshan, and Shanshan fell asleep immediately, with a peaceful smile on his face, obviously falling into a happy dream.

Although the house elves in the Sleeping Dragon Society have been brainwashed by Sherin into the most loyal subordinates, Sherin did not rewrite their memories and personalities. So even though Winky has overcome her fear of wizards and can attack Bagman in order to complete the task assigned by Sherin, the scene in front of her still aroused her deep fear.

Sharfu said with a strange expression: "House elves... Why does the Selwyn family collect these organs? Do these organs have any medicinal or alchemical value?"

Xellin showed a weird smile and said: "Look carefully-"

"These organs are all alive."

Sharfu was not afraid at all, but instead observed the organs in front of her more attentively. She took a deep breath and said: "This..."

"Several hearts are still beating slightly." Xielin pointed to the jar, "Look carefully at other organs, there is liquid flowing in the blood vessels, and this hairy arm just twitched."

"I remember that it was mentioned in the magic inheritance of Ravenclaw and Slytherin that it takes a huge price to ensure the activity of organs." Sharfu Elf frowned, "Even if alchemy is used, it is not something that ordinary people can afford."

"I didn't detect any traces of spells and alchemical runes on the jar." Xie Lin knocked on the glass surface of the jar and said solemnly: "I think this should be attributed to the liquid inside. This should be the goal of our trip-the highest inheritance of the Selwyn family..."

"So, the core inheritance of the Selwyn family is this kind of potion that can keep the experimental materials active?" Sharfu said in a cold voice: "It's not as interesting as I thought, but it's okay, so let's pack up these bottles and jars and take them back for research?" After that, Sharfu took out a bag that had been cast with the traceless extension spell, and waited for Xie Lin's order to start picking up the wool.

"Wait a minute, of course we have to take the things away," said Sherin, who fell into deep thought. He walked around the laboratory and said, "I always feel that we have missed some important details - for example, what is the significance of the Selwyn family's painstaking efforts to dissect so many house-elves? House-elves are not easy to obtain resources... To make them willing to pay such a huge price, there must be a huge benefit behind it that we have not thought of..." As mentioned earlier, house-elves must apply to the House-Elf Resettlement Office of the Ministry of Magic. The application conditions are quite harsh, and the cost is not affordable for ordinary wizards. In the entire British wizarding world, except for Hogwarts, only a few powerful and ancient pure-blood families can have a house-elf to serve.

As powerful as the Malfoy family, they can only have one house-elf at the same time.

And there are at least two or three hundred bottles and jars of all sizes here, which means that the Selwyn family's laboratory has dissected at least 40 house-elves, which is an extremely incredible number.

Xielin couldn't imagine how much it would cost to obtain more than 40 house-elves.

Although this potion that can maintain the activity of experimental materials is extremely valuable to Xielin, compared with 40 house-elves, the return rate of this effort is completely disproportionate. No matter how rich the Selwyn family is, they don't spend money like this.

Xielin stopped and looked at the various alchemical instruments on the long table again, as well as the old-fashioned execution platform. He narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed, and said, "What do the Selwyn family want to get from this experiment..."

Seeing that Xielin was a little impatient, Sharfu couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't push yourself too much," she said softly, "The Selwyn family has always been famous for its mystery and low-keyness in the wizarding world. As a pure-blood family, no one knows what their main business is. Isn't it normal that you can't guess their thoughts now?"

The Selwyn family... mysterious and low-key... mainly engaged in industry...

Xellin vaguely caught a hint of inspiration, but he could never figure it out thoroughly.

At this point, Xie Lin knew that he had to take drugs again——

After taking a sip of Felicis, Xie Lin opened his mind.

No one has ever known what the Selwyn family's source of income is, and how they have accumulated such amazing wealth.

The Selwyn family is willing to spend a lot of money to buy, obtain, or even illegally abduct a large number of house elves for experiments, and they must be dissected alive in extremely cruel ways, and their organs must be kept alive.

Xelling suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a misunderstanding——

Is it possible that all the wealth of the Selwyn family actually comes from these experiments?

The house elves are not purchased by the Selwyn family at a high price, but are the means used by the Selwyn family themselves to earn wealth - wait a minute, in this case, house elves are products of the Selwyn family. ?

Even Schelling was shocked by the absurdity of his thoughts at this moment.

As we all know, house elves were originally one of the branches of the ancient elves. They were later captured and tamed by some wizards with evil intentions, and they became the slaves they are now, submissive to the wizards.

At this moment, Xie Lin also remembered a doubt that had troubled him for a long time. There was only one house elf in a wizarding family, and the wizard owner had absolute control over the house elf he owned. Without the owner's permission, the house elf could not leave the bundle. to bind their houses, then——

How do house elves reproduce?

In the Ministry of Magic, where did the house elves assigned to the major pure-blood families by the House Elf Resettlement Office come from?

A terrible suspicion gradually emerged in Xie Lin's mind.
