Chapter 51
The whole hall is clean and tidy as if it were newly built. The wallpaper is as if it has just been pasted on, and the colors are very new. The chandelier above his head was stripped of rust and a new candle was inserted. The curtains are no longer old cloth that is about to decay, but a low-key and gorgeous heavy velvet.
The empty hall was refurbished with sofas and other furniture, and a carpet was laid in the center of the hall. A crisp white tablecloth was laid on the refreshment table, and a new shiny metal tray was placed on it. Unfortunately, there are no snacks in it.
In less than an hour's work, the living room of Prince Manor, which was the face of the face, was renovated. Gail was once again amazed at the power of the elves.
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Gale took out another piece of paper from his pocket: "Prince Manor has been done, why don't we take over the founder's manor today?" ”
Severus thought for a moment and thought it would be feasible: "If we take over the founder's manor, then we can connect the fireplaces of the two estates, which will be much more convenient." As for the dome of Gringotts......"
"I think Gringotts can wait." "I looked up some history books and found out that Gringotts had been remodeled twice because of the war and the goblin riots. Notes or spells in the dome may be rare, but they don't really work for us at the moment. It may even cause some unnecessary trouble. ”
Severus had a great desire for Ravenclaw's notes and Hufflepuff's study of spells, and was more eager to inherit a founder's estate than to inherit a founder's estate. But at this time, listening to Gail's words, thinking of the Walpws Knights, who have begun to reshuffle now, they understand Gail's worries.
"You're right, the dome isn't very important to us at the moment, so in fact, the manor matter can also be put on hold?" Seaver said.
A manor that had been closed for almost a thousand years, behind the Forbidden Forest, so close to Hogwarts. The portrait of the founder also says that the manor was closed for a thousand years, and no one knew about it. So turning it on is bound to take a while for it to reappear. With such a behemoth, it is almost impossible not to attract people's attention. Even if it is soon hidden again because of the defense system, there is still no guarantee that no one will probe it. If he had guessed the slightest clue, Gale and himself might be in danger.
What Seaver thought of, Gail thought of as well, but Gail always felt that he should go to that manor. From the moment he got the key, Gail had always felt a longing in his heart to hurry to the manor, and this longing had lasted for more than a month.
Gail has already married, and both feet have stepped into the threshold of the "Tao". Although there is no formal entrance to the house, it can be regarded as having an induction for some things, just like the magic text sent by the founder.
Gail speculates that this longing should belong to the hint of "Tao" to himself, as if he were the induction of "fate" in the novel.
Although Gail didn't know what was in the manor, as far as the current situation was concerned, it was necessary for him to visit the manor. Since it was decided that he wanted to go to the manor, it became a matter of course to take over the manor.
Gail and Seaver now have a lot of secrets in common, so they don't hide their true purpose for going to the manor.
"So, you're saying there's something in that manor that will allow you to advance?" Seaver said.
Gail scratched his head: "It's not necessarily advanced, but I think it's useful to me." ”
Seaver nodded, indeed, as Gail said, since there are things there that are useful for Gail to improve his strength, then taking over the manor has indeed become a matter of incident.
"Toot toot." Seaver called the name of an elf.
After a "crackle", the elf Dudu appeared in the living room: "The master's name is Dudu!" Doodoo in! ”
Dudu was still holding a wet rag in his hand, and there was a brush pinned to the tea towel, which was supposed to be cleaning somewhere. This kind of dress made Seaver wonder if he was giving orders too often, and whether he would exceed the limits of the elves and be too busy. So Severus was silent for a moment.
In the end, Severus thought about the time between opening Prince Manor and turning on the defense system, and he was a little undecided.
Gail also tilted his head and thought for a while, his fingers unconsciously drew the shape of an arc, and patted his brain: "I can make a protective shield and cover the things behind the cover for a short time!" As long as it's faster, you'll be able to stop other people's sight! ”
Although with Gail's current strength, he can only spread out a semi-arc cover, but the other end of the founder's manor is the Forbidden Forest, and there will be no human voyeurism.
After finalizing the plan, Gale and Severus walked out of Prince's estate—which was obviously not the scene when they entered—and took out the key. This is also a portkey, but requires Gael's wand to activate. It will take Gail and Seaver to the Founder's manor and open it at the same time.
What Gail had to do was to use the aura to make a huge hood the moment the manor opened, just like the one Gail and Seaver used when they first talked, but this one was bigger, so Gail could only make half of it.
"Are you ready?" Seaver asked Gail, "The timing must be very accurate, and the isolation cover must be quickly brought out to cover the side of the manor away from the Forbidden Forest!" ”
Gail nodded and took out his wand: "We both signed on it, so anyone who enters the manor and puts up the sword and shield of the statue of the brave can hide the manor again." ”
"So, let's go!" As Gail's wand tapped the key, the key emitted a burst of royal blue light, causing Gale to feel like his stomach was being hooked into the washing machine a few times.
When Gale felt his body touch the real thing, he didn't care that he was still lying on the ground, and immediately propped up a semi-arc-shaped aura cover, enveloping the outward side of the Founder's Manor, which was emitting light and sound, revealing its true face. Although it is inaccessible, the fluctuations of magic cannot deceive people. Gail covered the magic fluctuations of the manor when it appeared, and bounced in the direction of the manor itself.
Although Severus was distressed that Gail had fallen to the ground, he knew the priority, so instead of rushing to help Gail up, he picked up the key, opened the big golden lock hanging on the door, and rushed into the manor.
After making sure that the spiritual power shrouded the manor had steadily stopped the manor from leaking a trace of his own existence, Gail got up and retreated into the manor, and by the way, picked up the big golden lock that Seaver threw by the door and the key inserted on it, and couldn't help but complain in his heart about the style of the founder who chose the lock.
The door was a bit heavy, but for Gail, it was the strength that could be closed with one hand. When Gail closed the door, the boundaries of the manor flashed a few times - the defenses opened. Gail didn't immediately remove the psychic shield, but let it stay there around the outside of the manor before walking to the mansion.
Severus was standing next to the one-to-one statue, a little stunned. Without him, the image of this brave man is not much different from Godric's appearance in the central hall, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a person. The problem is another person behind the brave!
"Seaver, what's wrong?" Gail looked at the statues of Salazar and Godric, not quite understanding why Seaver was in a daze.
Severus glanced at Gail, then at the two metal statues, a little unsure of how to explain it. Godric the Brave's clothing and standing, as well as Salazar behind him, are the customary positions of the famous romantic legend thousands of years ago.
Seaver was a little puzzled, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much or had made a mistake in the book, but in the end he didn't say it: "It's nothing, I just think this statue is so vivid." ”
"Well, it's quite vivid!" Gail nodded in agreement, "Shall we go into the house?" I don't think there are any house-elves here, so let's connect with Prince Manor first, and then let your elves clean up! ”
Two men passed by the statue and entered the hall, ready to see a living room filled with dust and even rotting furniture. But to the surprise of the two, the entire hall was spotless, as if it had just been cleaned.
Gail was a little weird.
"Let's go to the study and put away the lock and key." Although it was strange that the owner of the Founder Manor had just left, considering the status of the previous owner here, Gail felt that he should not make too much of a fuss. As for why Prince Manor was the way it was, Gale blamed the Ministry of Magic again.
The wallpaper color of the founder's study is dark green inlaid with gold threads, which has a low-key and deep feeling. On either side of the shelves were parchments and tomes, and a few messy things were set aside.
The lock that Gale was carrying with a key in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and Gale walked towards the pile of trivial things as if he had not heard it, and after removing many debris on it, he pulled out a piece of jade the size of a palm.
On the white and shiny jade, there was a "Tao" written in a font that Gale should not have understood, but now knew what the word was.
"Gail!" Seaver called out to a shivering Gail.
Silver's shout brought Gail back to his senses, and he took the jade and turned to Seaver and said, "This should be it." Just, why did the founders have this kind of thing? ”
Gail took a step back, and one accidentally kicked something. The thing also made a "clang" sound, causing Gail and Seaver to look down at an Egyptian ankh. Next to Ankka was a huge stone disc like a compass, or made of clay, Gail wasn't sure.
If Gale is interested in ancient history, he may see that this stone plate comes from the Mayan culture. The things piled up in this corner come from ancient cultures around the world, all of which once had their own mythological systems and legendary supernatural powers.
Gryffindor is not a good fellow, in the early years when he didn't know the other Big Three, he dared to cross the ocean on hollow wood, but he has traveled to many places. These are his mementos.
