"What's inside this?"

Someone asked, and the crowd, who had been afraid to approach the sarcophagus because of its strange aura, suddenly became interested.

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Gradually, the curiosity about the sarcophagus dispelled the fear in the crowd's hearts.

"or…"

"Open it and have a look?"

The captain and the sea fishing tycoon exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of expectation in each other's eyes.

Opening a treasure chest, drawing cards, scratching lottery tickets, these are the things that can arouse human desires the most.

What will be in the treasure chest?

Is it some kind of precious treasure?

When thinking of this, no one, whether it is the onlookers or the parties involved, can remain calm.

"Where are the tools?"

"The lid of this sarcophagus is so heavy, can someone help me?"

"Be careful, yes, that's it..."

So, with the joint efforts of several people, the materials on the sarcophagus were washed clean, and the coffin lid was slowly pushed open.

""Wow!"

As soon as the coffin lid was removed, everyone felt a dazzling golden light burst out from the sarcophagus.

Upon closer inspection, the sarcophagus was filled with gold coins as big as the bottom of a bowl.

"Gold!"

"It's gold coins!!"

These gold coins exude a maddening light, depicting a skull and a pirate flag from the 17th and 18th centuries.

"This is a pirate gold coin!"

Although the origin of the gold coin and the sarcophagus is unknown, the captain thinks that the only person who can make a gold coin like this must be a legendary pirate.

And there are too many gold coins here.

Even if we don't mention the antique value, just the gold coin itself is worth a lot of money.

"Gulu!"

The passengers obviously had never seen so many gold coins:"There are almost a thousand gold coins in here, right?"

This sentence, like a huge rock thrown into the lake, aroused the possessiveness of the captain and the rich businessman.

The two sides began to argue about the ownership of the gold coins.

One party said that he paid for the sea fishing, and everything he caught should belong to him. But the captain said that this was salvaged by his own boat and should belong to him.

The passengers on the boat didn't say anything.

However, some of them began to plan secretly.

So many gold coins, if you can get them, it will definitely be a considerable fortune.

Because a sarcophagus that was accidentally salvaged and the skeleton gold coins in it seemed to have magic, more and more people were aroused by greed.

"Minister, something has happened.

A few days later, in the British Ministry of Magic, the door of the Minister's office was pushed open. A middle-aged man in his fifties walked in. He had thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, and looked like an old lion.

His name was Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the British Auror Command.

In the wizarding world, Aurors are like a violent organization that combines the functions of a police station and the army.

As the immediate superior of all British Aurors, Scrimgeour is vigorous and resolute, and he does not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Rufus?"

"Unknown creatures appeared at Ramsgate Pier in Kent, England.

Scrimgeour put the information in front of Fudge and said,"Many local Muggles witnessed this suspicious creature and caused quite a commotion."

"Damn it!"

Fudge:"Who is causing this trouble? I will throw the wizard who caused this trouble into jail!"

Fudge has just taken office as Minister and needs to maintain his image.

But at this time, such turmoil occurred.

A slap in the face!

A slap in the face!

Fudge couldn't help but start to think, did he offend someone by taking office?

Those guys are jealous of him, so they deliberately caused trouble.

"Our Aurors went there immediately and used the Forget Charm on all the local Muggles to modify their memories.

In the memories of these Muggles, the supernatural events caused by magic were all replaced by understandable phenomena.

These things were done by the Aurors with ease.

"Has it been resolved?"

"That's good."

Fudge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to praise Scrimgeour for his good work, but he heard the latter say,"It's not over yet, Mr. Minister."

"We captured those strange magical creatures and found out they were all cursed Muggles"

"Curse?"

Hearing this, Fudge vaguely realized that this matter was not simple, so he picked up the documents on the desk and read them carefully. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

But the more Fudge read, the more frightened he became.

According to the investigation of the Aurors, the so-called strange creatures turned out to be some rotten skeletons with ragged clothes and pieces of flesh hanging all over their bodies.

These people were no different from ordinary people when there was no moonlight.

But once they were exposed to direct moonlight, they would immediately turn into rotten skeletons.

"Whether before they turn into skeletons or in their normal state, these Muggles are immune to any harm!"

At this point, Scrimgeour felt his scalp tingling:"Mr. Minister, any form of harm!"

"What's the meaning?"

"We have made some attempts, whether it is cutting off its hands and feet or burning it with fire, we can't cause any real harm to it."

Of course these things can be done, but as long as the moonlight disappears and the sun rises, all the remaining corpses will disappear.

And the most important piece of the broken corpse will be restored to its original state, and the cursed Muggle will be resurrected!

"Merlin’s beard…"

Fudge has been in the wizarding world for so long, but he has never heard of such a weird curse.

Magic of unknown origin turned a group of Muggles into undead skeletons.

How did this happen?[]

"According to our investigation, the source of the curse is this thing."

Scrimgeour put the skull gold coin on the desk:"Using Legilimency, we found the place where the gold coin first appeared."

Next, Scrimgeour reported to Fudge everything about the cruise ship fishing, and finally caught the sarcophagus and the cursed gold coin.

After listening, Fudge was a little overwhelmed.

He was a politician, and he was very good at playing mud and scheming. (Liao Nuo)

But when it came to knowledge about magic, Fudge was a little in the dark.

To be honest, just talking about how terrible this strange curse was, Fudge couldn't imagine it.

"It is a curse?"

Fudge moved away from the Skull Coin with some worry. Seeing this, Scrimgeour quickly explained,"Don't worry, Mr. Minister."

"You will only be cursed if you take the gold coin out of the sarcophagus."

In other words, if you get the gold coin from someone else, then no matter what you do, the final price will only be borne by that person.

Otherwise, the power of this gold coin is too terrifying.

Anyone who takes over and uses it will become a walking corpse.

It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is a curse plague in the wizarding world.

"This is a blessing in disguise."

Scrimgeour said distressedly,"However, our people have studied this gold coin for a long time, but still cannot deduce its way out of the curse."
