Twenty-ninth bargain

A month later, Lucius rode a white unicorn to a 'hunt' organized by Daniel.

It was an open-air banquet that took place on the vast prairie of Blake's house.

Many Muggles think that unicorns and unicorns are the same species, but in fact, they just look a little alike.

Unicorns are undoubtedly much more precious than unicorns in the wizarding world, but their rarity and magical abilities make them so rare that few wizards can control them, so unicorns, which are suspected to be close relatives, have become the first choice of nobles.

On this day, the weather was sunny, and before the banquet, a few people who came early and had a good relationship with each other chatted for a while.

"It's a pleasure to see you, little Mr. Black. Last time I happened to be out on business, and I couldn't meet you......"

The head of the Parkinson family said that he had short black hair and a mustache and looked cheerful, "Seriously, it's great that you can inherit the Black family." I miss the prairie of Black's house very much...... I was very young...... I was here when I was four or five years older than Pansy, and by the way, Pansy was my daughter, she was the same age as the Malfoy dragons, and I had a lot of fun at the time...... Your aunt, Walbuga has never been much of a sportsman, so it's been a long time since they inherited the Black family that there's not an event like today. ”

Daniel just smiled and listened.

In the earliest days, the twenty-eight sacred clans of the wizarding world each had their own territory.

However, the declining population and lack of magical power made it impossible for them to maintain the magical barrier that protected their territory from Muggles. The Muggle world is expanding at an astonishing rate, and over time, at a rate of cannibalization, they slowly occupy territory that the noble wizards considered their own property.

Among them, the Parkinson's family has lost all their territory from generation to generation. And the Black family, because there have been dark wizards for generations, in the early days, these bad temperament dark wizards cast powerful vicious spells on Muggles, such as plague, poison or something, which effectively protected the family's land from being encroached upon by Muggles.

Therefore, the head of the Parkinson's family has always been very envious of this prairie of the Black family.

"Alright, Paul, please don't play with the old memories." Lucius interjected impatiently, according to legend, the Malfoy family also owned a large area of forest, but unlike the Black family's ruthless methods, the Malfoy family used spells to hide it very well, and it has been unknown.

At this time, the Malfoy family master was sitting high on a white unicorn horse, his usually smooth silver-white hair shimmering with pale gold in the sun, and with his handsome features, he looked like a proud long-eared elf.

"How long has it been since I've seen him like this?" Stephen Blake (the director of the International Magical Law Office mentioned above) couldn't help but turn his head and sigh at everyone.

"About five or six years......," replied Abtelberst, in a serious manner.

"Yes, but it's still so sparkling." Paul Parkinson summed it up aptly.

What hunting activities are just a façade.

Black's prairie had just been recovered from the Ministry of Magic, and the prairie was barren.

The cows, unicorns, and some rare magical creatures have long been looted and sold by the Ministry of Magic, and there is not a single hair left, and I don't know who the money is......

Of course, they play a more high-sounding banner, similar to 'compensating those wizarding families who have suffered losses in the war' or something.

If it weren't for the spell in this magical land, unless the descendants of the Black family canceled the spell themselves, this land would forever 'only recognize the blood of the Black family, and those who are not of the blood will use it, and it will be like a desert'.

It was for this reason that the Ministry of Magic chose to return the grassland, after draining the existing value of the grassland.

Most of the nobles who had received the invitation and had come to the party were familiar with the Ministry's style, and knew that the 'hunting activity' must have been a façade and that the trip must have had another purpose.

They speculated that perhaps little Blake had officially announced his existence to everyone in the wizarding world, or perhaps he had taken the opportunity to enter the social circle.

But there is no doubt that they all thought too simply, so they were all wrong.

They either do Thestrals' carts, or they simply apparition migrated over.

Only Lucius Malfoy, who took the opportunity to put on his brand-new riding suit, dressed brightly, as if he was really going hunting, appeared in front of everyone on a snow-white unicorn...... However, it is not uncommon that Malfoy has always been the focus of banquets.

"It takes at least a year to restore the original appearance here, and it is always difficult to grow grass suitable for unicorns."

Lucius jumped off his horse, stood on a high place, looked into the distance, and said in a very calm tone, "If you use high-quality growth potions, you may be able to speed up a little...... But your Diagon Alley plan ......"

Immediately afterwards, he reminded vaguely: "It's not too practical." ”

His implication was that 'the Black family's estate, even though you have inherited it, will not bring any profit in the short term, so don't be too ambitious to dream of unrealistic plans'.

"The Ministry of Magic is a swarm of locusts." Not understanding the wit and reminder in Lucius's words, Paul Parkinson bluntly expressed his disgust with the group of people in the Ministry of Magic.

"Hey, the three people in front of you are all in the Ministry of Magic." Abter Persard said.

"We're all about to be pushed out of the power center. Don't want that kind of small clerk position. "The current head of the Parkinson's family is obviously not a good man. His modest cheerfulness was probably only a façade, and only then did he reveal a little bit of his true temperament, and he said indignantly, "I'd rather quit than work under those fools Gryffindor." ”

"You'd be so stupid." Stephen Blake said calmly, "Probably that's what the Gryffindor gang thought, squeezing us all out of the Ministry of Magic, and then they could be the only one and as happy as they wanted." ”

"Yes, but I don't have your patience...... Do you know what they asked me to do when I was still there? Go and solve the problem of the reverse flow of the muggle house's sewers, suspecting that a wizard was there before. Please, this kind of thing, let the wizard do it? Are we plumbers? Mr. Parkinson's face flushed angrily, "Lucius, I know you've been planning something lately, but if you can give those guys a good look, remember to give me a share." ”

Lucius smiled reservedly, bowing slightly, but wisely not revealing anything.

This conversation ended with the arrival of Mrs. Zabini and Goyle, Crabbe, and others.

The gathering of pure-blood wizards gave the house-elf of the Black family a second spring in its life.

It blinked its watery eyes, as if recalling the prosperity of the Black family, and it was full of power, and one was almost as tall as ten.

The few house-elves temporarily borrowed from the Malfoy family were completely untouchable, and could only watch as they seemed to work tirelessly, with a steady stream of wine and fruit appearing on the long table to ensure that every wizard was at home.

This dedication made Daniel say when Mrs. Zabini teased that 'the Black family already has a handsome head of the house, and what is lacking is a qualified and beautiful hostess', 'With such a capable Kreacher, it doesn't matter if the mistress comes later.' ’

Kreacher's eyes were open, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Fortunately, it didn't appear in front of everyone, otherwise, it is estimated that many people's appetites would be ruined...... However, praise has a very significant effect on the house-elves, at least for Kreacher.

Once again, it was full of energy and used its whirlwind speed to move among the wizards, satisfying the needs of each wizard.

Mr. Goyle just said, 'This strawberry cake tastes good,' and ten strawberry cakes immediately appeared in front of him.

As for 'hunting', everyone obviously didn't mind changing into a nice riding costume and riding a horse around the grassland.

But that's clearly not the point.

After a round of false affection and polite greetings, Daniel finally proposed the purpose of this party.

But his purpose obviously shocked everyone, and the scene was silent and silent.

"Merlin, did I hear me right?" Paul Parkinson rubbed his ears and was the first to break the silence, "I just heard little Black say that he was going to sell this prairie?" ”

"No, no, it's not a sale, it's a mortgage loan." Daniel Black said calmly, he stretched out a hand, and said confidently, "Five years, if after five years, I still can't borrow and interest, the creditor can take this land at any time." ”

Lucius Malfoy's expression was extremely shocked, obviously he had no idea beforehand, and he was also caught off guard by the news.

He narrowed his sharp eyes and stared at Daniel, secretly glad that Sissi was taking care of Xiaolong at home, so he didn't follow...... Otherwise, when she learned that this kind of behavior was almost 'selling her ancestral property', Sissi would definitely go crazy on the spot.

He should have anticipated that when he learned about that damn 'Diagon Alley Takeover', he should have anticipated: 'Without the Golden Galleons, what to buy?' ’

This brother-in-law is not at all as well-behaved as he appears on the surface, and he is so crazy in his bones.

He really deserves to be a member of the Black family, bold, paranoid and confident.

"Have you figured out the consequences of doing this?" Lucius reminded coldly.

"Of course." Daniel smiled brightly.

This somewhat crazy smile reminded Lucius of a certain woman named Bella, who frowned in disgust and kept muttering the damn surname 'Black' in his heart.

"Haha, courage." Paul Parkinson was the first to give a thumbs up and said flatteringly.

In fact, he had long coveted the Black family's land, but due to his allies and other interests, he couldn't do it directly.

But if the Black family really has a 'loser' and 'sells his ancestral property', even if everyone is in the pure-blood alliance, no one and no reason will accuse him of being inauthentic.

"Interesting." The mysterious widow, Madame Zabini, who was known for her beauty, also responded, and she blinked her eyes with a thousand amorous eyes, "Can you count me in it?" ”

Daniel blinked calmly, a gentlemanly gesture of please.

Almost everyone was interested in it.

After all, the Golden Galleon was kept in Gringotts for nothing, and it was a good deal to take it out for this little Blake, and there was a considerable interest on it. Even if he can't afford to pay back the money in the end, he can have a justifiable excuse, and this grassland of the Guadianlaike family is also a very good choice.

As long as the time comes, Little Black will break the spell on this grassland, and this grassland will definitely slowly give birth to countless magical creatures and plants, especially the most popular unicorn herd...... This can definitely be used as the foundation of the family, a treasure that will be passed on for a long time.

Everyone didn't know what Little Black was going to do with so much money, but they felt in their hearts that it was completely impossible for Little Black to pay off the gold galleons with interest in ten years.

Because the interest itself is a lot of money, and with the already large amount of principal, the prospect of repayment is really difficult.

They exchanged glances, but none of them kindly reminded the little Mr. Black to 'do what he could'.

In terms of interests, the nobles have always been too polite.

Lucius looked at Yiqi in front of him indifferently, but when he finally discussed signing a magic contract, he elegantly pressed the snake staff against the parchment, raised his eyebrows as if nothing happened, and said, "Count Malfoy's share." [Note 1]
