It's not the first time Daphany has been to the study, but she's usually looking for weird magic books. As for the various contracts on the bookcase, genealogy and the like have never been interested. At this time, I found out that there are a lot of contracts in the cabinet!

Daphine wasn't interested or understood. Contract magic is a very old thing, and most wizards nowadays can use it with the help of scrolls left over from old days.

Soon, Daphany found the Enchanted Manor Contract. Well, it's conspicuous, in a lead box. On the surface of the box is the words "Manor Magic Contract".

Daphany took out a lead box and opened it on her desk, which contained a piece of parchment that had passed through an unknown number of years, and a scroll beside it. The words 'Servile Contract' are written on the scroll.

This should be it, right? Daphine opened the scroll. Inside the scroll were several arcane magic arrays and a series of spells. Here are a few names. The name is obviously not a magician, it is estimated that it is the name of the elf, and the name at the bottom is Jingjing.

Looks like that's it! Daphany got up and prepared to pick up the lead box and go down to sign the contract. But another piece of parchment underneath caught Daphany's attention. Picking it up and looking at it, Daphany raised her eyebrows.

"Interesting!" Daphine sat down and began to peruse the parchment.

The parchment is written about the signing of the contract with the house-elves. The method is very simple, as long as the elf drops blood on the previous scroll, the contract is established. This is not the main record on the parchment, but the origin of the house-elf contract.

The elves were originally a subspecies of goblins, and they were originally independent wild demonic creatures. However, compared to the elves, the magic of the elves is weaker. Therefore, in the earliest days, elves served elves. Later there was a war between the goblins and the wizards, and the wizards won. The elves became vassals of the wizards and served the wizards.

In the sixteenth century, the first goblin riots took place. Although it was quickly suppressed by wizards, wizards began to worry about house-elves, after all, house-elves had entered almost every wizard's family at that time. Thus, the original contract was signed. House-elves cannot disobey their master's orders and cannot betray their master unless they are granted freedom. The way to give freedom is to give clothes!

On the basis of this contract, the wizards also placed a curse on the bloodline of the house-elves. Caused the elves to lose their innate magical abilities. Magic can only be used after signing a contract with a wizard who owns the manor's magic contract. However, the magicians at that time probably did not expect that many magicians no longer have manors now. Like the Weasleys! In addition, in Daphany's opinion, there is a loophole in the contract, that is, the free-spirited elf does not lose their magical abilities due to the termination of the contract.

Although the contract was created more than 300 years ago, the training of house-elves has been going on for nearly a thousand years. Therefore, today's house-elves are basically proud of their allegiance to the wizarding family and ashamed of their freedom. Dobby is the odd of the weird.

Daphany sincerely admires the wizard seniors who trained in the first place. Although she doesn't seem to be very humane to the elves, Daphany is not a good person in the first place.

No wonder the magic reaction of those two elves is so weak, it turns out that they are limited by the contract!

I opened the contract scroll again, and when I saw the sentence at the top, the corners of Daphine's mouth curled even better - the magician was noble and noble!

The process of signing the contract was very convenient, and looking at the teary-eyed eyes of the two new elves, Daphany felt more and more that the wizards' predecessors had brainwashed their skills.

Daphany arranges for Crystal to take the two new elves, Meru and Ruka, to familiarize themselves with the castle while she begins to read. When Daphany was taking the contract, she saw several ancient thread-bound parchment rolls. There are a few interesting spells in it. Each long-standing wizarding family has its own unique magic. The same goes for the Lestrants.

The method of refining the yin corpse and the method of refining the evil spirit. Lestranzi's inheritance of magic is really an evil accident! Daphne estimated that if this was used outside and the Ministry of Magic caught her, she would probably have to live in Azkaban for three or five years.

Daphne studied it, and the Yin corpse refining was a bit troublesome. First of all, it needs to kill a lot of people and refine it with fresh corpses, and secondly, it needs a lot of evil potions. It's not a rare potion, but it's still a nuisance.

Evil spirits are much easier to deal with, cemeteries, cemeteries, and even small mountain villages, as long as you want to find them, you can find ghosts. As long as it is simply treated with ghosts, it can be refined into evil spirits. And there are many more places where evil spirits can be used than Yin corpses.

The Yin Corpse is not considered for the time being, and the evil spirit can play with it if he has a chance. The next afternoon, Taliya came to the manor, and although the Christmas for the two was not lively, it was very warm.

The next day, on Christmas morning, Daphany received this year's Christmas present.

Daphany is still very careful about her preparation this year, starting to prepare months in advance.

Girlfriends Cho Chang and sisters Petyr and Pansy get a coat spun from a edelweiss bird's feathers. The Velvet is a magical creature of low rank. It can ignite flames on its body and has a certain amount of attack power, but it is not very strong. Its woolen material is very popular in the wizarding world. In addition to the colors being very bright, it is also super warm! A coat spun from the feathers of a dreadrews bird can heat up on its own, not to mention the relatively warm island country of England, even in Russia in the north, such a robe is enough to keep out the cold!

With such a coat, the little girls who love beauty, even in the cold winter, can directly wear cool summer clothes inside.

This garment is a specialty of South America, and there are very few in Europe. And it's quite expensive! Although the average magical family can't afford it, it is not necessarily willing to buy it. Especially for small children.

The cute Luna Stephanie gives a pet calf. It is a special magical creature from China, the size of a big cat, this calf is called a medicine beast in the East, and it is the best at detoxification. Give it any poison and it will find an antidote. It is said to be the best partner of the Eastern Alchemist.

For Harry was a small suitcase with a telescopic charm. Although on the outside it looks similar to the smaller carry-on suitcase later. But the inside is big enough to fit two African elephants. Hermione was given a set of high-level potions books. Compound decoction can only be regarded as a little brother in this book. At the end, there is even a method for refining the elixir.

Daphne reckons that most of the recipes in this book Hermione won't be able to make before she graduates. You can't find this book on the market, so it's a bit of a way to buy it. Daphany was bought through Xiaolong's classmates

What is given to Xiaolong's classmates is a simple local tyrant style, a dragon skin robe. Practical value, except for being able to resist a few spells, is basically nothing, that is, the wind is handsome. Neville's is also a tyrant style, but it's a different style. Daphine bought a fortune potion from France.

Only three famous pharmacists with the title of master can refine the elixir in England now, and France is slightly better. After all, the Hillières family, the home behind St. Mungo's Hospital today, is headquartered in France. The Hilliax family is currently the most prestigious Potions family in Europe.

Daphne hopes that this elixir will allow Neville to go smoothly one day, and thus build up some confidence.

A few other classmates who had a good relationship, Daphany didn't bother so much, but just bought some rare and valuable things on the market as gifts. Quidditch players such as Marcus and Terrance, and a few little sisters who often read books together in the library. Even the twins and Percy Stephanie prepared gifts. Well...... Still no Ron's. Daphany felt that she and Ron were not friends, and since they were not friends, they didn't need to prepare gifts!

The next day, Daphany felt she had done the right thing. Because Ron also didn't prepare a gift for himself.

This year's gifts from Daphany are a bit higher than last year's.

The scarf I gave last year, Dafanie must bring it as long as the weather is a little colder, and she looks like I love to wear a scarf in my life. So Qiu gave Daphne another sweater this year, and it was hand-knitted! Daphne smiled, and without hesitation, put it on, well, it's a bit big, just right, you can wear it for two more years.

Hermione still had plenty of chemistry with Dafanie. Again, well, a set of books. Daphany looked at the set of books a little blind. It turned out to be a set of original "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection". Well, it's pretty rare in the wizarding world, but ...... Well, it's quite heartfelt.

To Dafanie's surprise, it was Harry's gift. It was a poster. It is a poster of last year's Quidditch World Cup runner-up, the Scottish Quidditch national team. The poster itself is not very unusual, even if it is a dynamic poster. What's really strange is that the poster has the signatures of all the Scottish players!

This one is amazing! If you come across something you like, it may sell for a dozen or even twenty gold gallons. Daphany liked it so much that she stuck it directly in her study. The bedroom is not to be attached, Dafanie is a girl, and there are several men in the England team. You know, this poster moves!

Neville is still showing his talent for herbs. The four-leaf clover amber pendant he gave him last year, Daphany almost never left her and carried it with her all the time. This year he gave away a bracelet...... It's four-leaf clover again. Daphne also wondered, this is a real four-leaf clover, this thing only produces one four-leaf clover out of 10,000 clovers, and I don't know where Neville got so much, he actually made a bracelet.

The bracelet is also specially treated, and it is very tough and beautiful.

Draco had received a gift from Daphany last year, and it was still a thief's favorite. But I didn't give a gift, and I was ashamed at the time. This year, he got Daphany's Firebolt again, and then lost the match...... It seemed to be holding back her strength to make Daphany's eyes light up. He did it!

How could a banned book like "Essence of the Dark Arts", which is absolutely impossible to find on the market, be mailed through an owl? Daphne was disappointed with the Ministry of Magic's censorship system.

Although the other gifts can also show that the giver is very attentive, the gift itself is not very new. This Daphany is not fussy either. Everyone is still a student, and there are very few women like Daphany who have a lot of money after all.

Daphany also prepared a special gift for Jingjing!

It was a wand in the storeroom of the house that I don't know who left it. It's a very ordinary, if not somewhat worn out unicorn fur wand. But Jingjing was still moved to tears, and the two new elves were envious.

Daphne couldn't help but think of the top text on the contract scroll: "Wizard Master and Noble!"
