Chapter 103: Conversation in the study, closed room
William came to the study and knocked softly on the door. Then, the duke's angry voice came from inside.
"Come in."
He pushed open the door, and his father was sitting behind the large desk, dealing with the papers, and when he saw William come in, he looked up and smiled at William.
"I was just wondering, when are you going to get up, how about yesterday's bottle?" He asked.
No, everyone drinks the same bottle of wine, so why don't you seem to have anything? William looked indignantly at his unscrupulous father.
"The taste is good, but the stamina is too great, how can a father pour wine into his eleven-year-old son!"
William rubbed the back of his head, which was still aching, and complained to his father, in exchange for a hearty laugh from the Duke.
"If you don't remind me, I'll have a hard time thinking of you as an eleven-year-old, William. You've done just a great job. He raised his hand and motioned for William to sit down, then continued.
"Do you know how much profit the family made because of that little invention of yours?" He pulled a few copies from the pile of papers on the table and handed them to William.
William took it and looked at it, and one of them was Durmstrang's purchase order.
"After all, your father is Durmstrang's school director, and Durmstrang is freezing cold, so it's not surprising that he got a large order. In addition, the family also got a good piece of the pie in the German alchemy market. ”
"What surprised me the most, though, was your performance, William. I was most surprised that you had so easily let Malfoy and the Parkinsons help you take over the British wizarding market. ”
"Although I have some credit for this alchemy product, the main reason is because of my own family, they have a request for the family, or want to be friendly with the family, right?" William replied modestly, he was very self-aware and did not swell up because of this.
"I'm glad you thought so, I thought you'd be a little arrogant about it." The Duke looked at William in front of him with relief.
"And I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to give up some of your interests, I listened to the two family heads talk about this matter, and you did a very good job."
"Sometimes, taking a step back is progressing, isn't it, father."
"That's right, that's why I haven't treated you as a child, I really don't know where you learned these life principles.
You've been perfect, William, and at your age, I didn't care about anything but eating, drinking, and being merry. ”
Who let me live two lifetimes, if I still be like a child, it is too much to say. William muttered inwardly.
"Did I tell you before? For some reason, your soul is much tougher and thicker than normal, which may be why you are gifted with magic. ”
???
Yes, William suddenly figured out something.
Since his father has such a profound attainment in soul magic, there is no reason why he can't discover the abnormality of his soul.
Since he hadn't even found out that William was born again, it was even more unlikely that the bastard messenger would have seen it, and he must have been scaring himself.
His biggest secret has not yet been revealed.
Thinking of this, it was as if a big stone had fallen in his heart, and he knew that what William was most afraid of was that the secret of his rebirth would be exposed.
"By the way, you came to me so impatiently for that matter, I heard you say everything went well?"
"Yes, Father. I managed to get that thing and nothing went wrong. ”
William didn't tell his father that the process of obtaining the crown was so thrilling, he just told the Duke that he had set all the geist roots on fire just in case.
After all, since it has been successfully recovered, there is no need to describe the difficult process in detail.
Could William still be able to speak out and worry his father?
Regarding the matter of that organization, William thought about it and decided not to tell the Duke for the time being.
"Well, it's just a pity for those geist grasses, your mother has been distressed for a long time."
It seems that your mother found out about your good deeds!
I feel like it's going to be a tragic story.
"Don't take it out here, wait until I get these documents in order, and then we'll go to the magic lab in the back." Noticing William pulling out his magic bag, the Duke opened his mouth to remind.
"It's still too dangerous to take it out here."
Soon, the Duke had finished his papers, and he led William towards the magic laboratory.
There were several different types of magic laboratories in Friedrich's estate, and the one that William had experimented with spells before was the smallest and least protected.
And the one he went to, William had never been in before, and he followed his father all the way to the family's forbidden area, which was full of meticulous magic traps and all kinds of detection magic, because the Friedrich family's treasure vault was in this area.
William carefully felt the changes in the magic around him along the way, since the attack of Voldemort's soul on him, William found that his perception seemed to have strengthened a lot, and he couldn't perceive the magic around him so clearly the last time he came.
Maybe that spiritual confrontation made my soul more solid.
Soon, the Duke led William to a stone door with elaborate ornamentation, covered with dust, as if it had not been used for a long time, and noticing the confusion in William's eyes, he smiled and explained.
"This is a place dedicated to soul experiments, and the level of protection is the highest. Separate such a dangerous soul, and you have to choose this place to ensure safety. With a flick of his wand, the Duke opened the stone door in front of him, which had been sealed for a long time.
"What's that?"
While waiting for the smoke to clear in front of him, William stood aside and looked around curiously.
He noticed that at the end of the hallway, there was such a closed room, blocked by a heavy door, with no elaborate ornamentation on it, only one magical inscription after another, slowly carved into the door, looking like a seal.
"Ah, that, there are some very dangerous things in there, so a lot of protection measures have been done, and the inscriptions on it are used for sealing." The Duke explained somewhat casually, and then walked into the laboratory.
"Come on in, William. I can't wait to see the soul of that legendary wizard. ”
"Here we are, father."
As the stone door slowly closed, silence returned to the hallway.
William, who was preoccupied with the crown, did not notice that in the corner of the heavy door was engraved a small inconspicuous mark, a five-pointed star with an eye in the middle.
