119 House-elves?
What happened during that period is too long ago to be verified.
However, in the end, it was a group of whimsical and powerful qi refiners who created a magical creature.
That's the predecessor of house-elves, the elves!
Of course, everyone didn't know that in fact, this goblin clan was not created at all.
Strictly speaking, they were called.
Just like Tang Yuan, the goblin clan is not the native race in this world.
There have been several wars between goblins and humans.
However, the results of the battle were mostly won by humans.
After a long battle, the powerful and whimsical Qi Refiners were not without gains.
They captured a lot of goblins and transformed them.
Under the effect of countless formations and spells, these captured goblins have undergone strange and unpredictable changes.
Thus a new race was born - the elf race!
Because the powerful spell penetrated the body of the elf clan, and even acted on their blood, as well as their souls.
Ultimately.
This is how the house-elves were born.
Every house-elf must recognize humans as masters from birth, and must never betray their master for the rest of their lives.
It can be said that the house-elf is the slave of the master, the slave, the slave who must serve the master for generations. They are responsible for all the household chores and are bound by their masters, and they cannot disobey their master's orders at will, and if they disobey, they must punish themselves.
For them, their highest right is to obey the orders of their masters. They have to work hard all their lives.
However, maybe the spell has changed, or maybe some Qi refiners can't bear it, and judging from the rules that have been handed down now, house-elves are not without a way to survive - uh, maybe in their opinion, this should be a way to live, right?
Clothes!
Clothes are the way house-elves live.
If their owner gives them a piece of clothing, then they will be free for it!
So in general, the owners of house-elves are very careful and try not to let them get clothes from their hands. House-elves have no pay, no holidays, they take pride in their labor and are ashamed of roaming freely.
Of course, anything in the world can be unexpected, and house-elves are no exception.
For example, Dobby in the original book...
And, although it is said that house-elves cannot betray their masters, but, don't forget, any command, there will be loopholes.
Once the house-elves reach a certain level of anger towards their master, beyond the critical point, although they still cannot betray their master, they will still complete the various orders and tasks ordered by the master, but they will subconsciously look for loopholes in the orders and take advantage of them.
For example, Kreacher in the original book.
He took advantage of Sirius's order to leave, went straight to the house, went to the homes of the other members of the Black family, and told them about it, which led to Sirius's death.
There is no perfect command in the world.
Moreover, when the world issues an order, it is unlikely that it will be issued in a format that is completely free of loopholes.
In Tang Yuan's previous life, there was such a popular joke in the workplace-
Say, what's the difference between a good employee and an average employee?
The leader instructed one thing, saying that if you want to entertain a customer, you need to ask the staff to go to the hotel to make arrangements first.
Ordinary employees may go directly to the hotel, at most to book a private room, look through the menu, prices or something.
But if it is a good employee, it will investigate more details -
For example, the distance from the company to the hotel, and the distance from the customer company to the hotel.
For example, the parking space of the hotel, whether it is free, and whether it needs to be reserved in advance.
For example, the taste of the restaurant's signature dish, for example, the category of hard dishes.
For example, the size of the private room, for example, the type of tea and wine.
For example, the time and speed of serving.
These are all potential details that need to be observed and noted.
And the mood of the house-elves, their anger value, will affect the level of detail in what they do.
It's like asking someone to buy a takeout, and after they buy it for you, they don't give you chopsticks, what can you do?
After all, you only said that you bought takeout, and you didn't say that you have to have chopsticks...
House-elves are like this, don't look at their blood, in their souls, they are bound by countless spells, but their ancestors are still goblins, and their minds are very sensitive.
Once they get their rage above the tipping point, they will start frantically testing the loopholes in your commands.
But if they get a fatal loophole, they will be more than happy to "inadvertently" eliminate their master.
Yes.
Although there is a spell to bind the house-elves, there is a clause that cannot harm the master.
But.
That's a play on words.
Just because house-elves can't dig traps to kill their owners doesn't mean they have to alert them when they're about to step on them.
In other words, I can't hit you with a car, but that doesn't mean I have to save you if you're about to get hit.
In this era, the origin of house-elves is almost impossible to study, and today's house-elves are basically inherited from ancient times.
After countless generations, the number of house-elves is still very small, at the very least, far less than the number of sorcerers.
It is precisely because of the scarcity of the number that in this day and age, house-elves are only raised in families with a long history.
On the surface, except for schools like Hogwarts, only the so-called pure-blood families will raise them.
Strictly speaking, behind Hogwarts, there are countless school directors, and these so-called directors are basically all pure-blood families.
This is where Dumbledore's so-called difficulty lies.
Although he is the principal of the school, this principal is only a position, and does not mean that the school belongs to him.
This is also the reason why the Tara elders of the Saban family laugh at him.
Because with Dumbledore's strength, his appointment as the headmaster of Hogwarts is completely overkill, and he does not have independent authority, although he can decide most things, but if he really encounters a big matter, he must still notify the school board for a vote before it can be passed.
Each of the house-elves at Hogwarts is the property of the school, and Dumbledore has no right to give it to Tang Yuan, and even trading is impossible.
It was impossible for the directors of the pure-blood family to allow such a "strange" guy as Tang Yuan to buy house-elves, and he was not qualified to buy them.
Therefore.
Dumbledore was struggling.
"Hmm... Mr. Tang Yuan, to be honest, your needs are a little difficult to handle..."
"Difficult to do?" Tang Yuan was surprised, he didn't expect so much, "Professor, you are the principal, how could you not do such a thing?"
Dumbledore rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Nonsense~ I'm just a headmaster, and the school is not owned by me personally..."
"Uh... Is that so?"
Tang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, he really didn't expect this...
Along with Lao Deng's words, he also suddenly remembered some details when he watched "Harry Potter" in his previous life.
It seems like.
In the original book, Lao Deng Tou was also bombarded from the position of principal and came back?
And then a big villain called Wu or something, a nasty woman came to be the headmaster, and as a result, Hogwarts was made in a miasma?
"That's... Professor, can you think of a solution?"
Tang Yuan looked at Old Deng Tou in a puzzled manner, thinking that he would be able to catch something, but he actually encountered a problem.
However, if there are no house-elves, either they will have to hire someone, or the three of them will not live here...
After all, none of the three of them had the ability to travel freely between the manor and Diagon Alley - Norn could use Floo.com, but it wasn't appropriate for him to go grocery shopping, right?
And if Tang Yuan is wearing a Chris pendant and using the Floo Net, it is not appropriate, after all, the Chris pendant still needs to be charged and cooled, and it cannot be used at any time.
As for letting Tang Yuan use the system's five-five ability to temporarily obtain cultivation, it's not impossible, but the consumption is too big and it's not cost-effective...
It's just a grocetry to buy food, there's no need to spend thousands of invincible points, right?
Hearing Tang Yuan say this, Dumbledore also realized that he had been a little ill-conceived before.
was fooled by his old buddy Elder Tara in Ankara, and Dumbledore would run this leg for him and help Tang Yuan get this manor down.
As a result, it was only at this time that he suddenly reacted, it was not appropriate to leave these three little guys alone in such a large manor!
They simply don't have a way to survive, okay?!
"Well, that's a problem, I'll help you figure it out..."
Dumbledore still frowned and took the matter to the end.
Or else?
Can you really let it go?
"Ah, thank you so much, Professor!"
Tang Yuan's hanging heart suddenly let go, since Lao Deng promised to find a way, it should be able to be done.
It's really not good, let Lao Deng Tou go to the Saban family or somewhere, find them a reliable housekeeper or something...
"Well, that's okay, you guys get acquainted with it here, I'll go back to school first, and I'll find a way to come back as soon as possible. ”
After Dumbledore threw down a sentence, he didn't bother to say goodbye to Harry and Norn, and directly a phantom shifted, and the figure disappeared in place in an instant.
"Hey, old Deng, is this a deserted escape?"
Looking at Dumbledore's somewhat hasty appearance, Tang Yuan couldn't help but grin towards the place where he disappeared.
After sending Dumbledore away, Tang Yuan began to wander around the manor - from just now to now, he didn't have time to take a good look at the first property in his life.
At the very least, it's the first one since the rebirth.
Moreover, it is the first in the world!
The manor covers a large area, and no matter what way you look at it, the six thousand gold gallons are definitely worth the money.
Among them, there are three or four reception rooms alone, and there are more than a dozen master bedrooms and guest bedrooms.
Dining room, kitchen, study, library, rest area, meditation room, entertainment room, shower room...
There should be a supporting room, in this manor, there is also everything.
Even in the library, there are many public books, although there are no new books, but there are also many classic books.
In each room, there are all kinds of supporting facilities, so you can move in at any time!
Of course, Tang Yuan and the others are now moving in with their bags.
Just after Tang Yuan had walked through all the rooms, there was a crisp sound of ding dong in his ears, and an interface suddenly popped up in the field of vision in front of him-
Bite!
Complete Hidden Missions - Settle Down!
Objective: Own your own independent property in this world!
Rewards:
1. Invincible points * 1000
2. Bound version of the house-elf*1
3. The number of refreshes in the reward system mall*1
Do you want to claim your mission rewards now?
......
Damn?!
Tang Yuan was shocked.
There's a hidden mission???
What's it called?!
This special thing is called someone sending a pillow as soon as you fall asleep!
Cool!
You have to get it now!
Without hesitation, Tang Yuan directly chose to receive the reward immediately.
With his choice, the prompt interface in his field of vision directly turned into a dazzling light.
The light was fleeting, and in Tang Yuan's field of vision, the system prompt interface disappeared.
But.
But an elf about half a man tall suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before Tang Yuan could come to his senses to greet him, there was movement at the door, and the two little guys, Harry and Norn, came over.
As soon as they entered the door, the two little ones saw Tang Yuan standing in the room, and in front of him, there was a strange creature half a person tall, wearing a miniature suit, which looked unusually fitted.
"Brother Yuan'er.... Ahh
The two little ones were very surprised, Harry couldn't recognize what kind of creature it was, and shouted in surprise, but with the turn of the elf, at the moment of meeting the elf's big eyes, little Harry was attracted by the other party's appearance.
"Wow! that's so cute!"
"it, isn't this a house elf?!"
Little Harry couldn't recognize it, but how could Norn, who was the heir of the Hidden Family, not know it, and recognize the identity of the strange creature at a glance.
It's just that Norn is curious, why does this little elf look so different?
Why aren't they as depressed and dirty as the house-elves we've seen in the past?
This house-elf looks smart, in good spirits, and, most importantly, -
The clothes he wears!
Oh my God, is that a suit?
Norn discovers for the first time, can house-elves be so cute?
