Chapter 11 News
With a "squeak", Joanson pushed the door open, "Bernard, I thought ...... What's wrong with you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, well, I apologize to you! ”
Jonathan, who pushed the door in, saw Bernard sitting on the ground with a frustrated face, and thought that his previous words had stimulated him, standing at the door, apologizing to Bernard in anticipation, looking at Bernard who was at a loss, Jonathan didn't know what to say.
Bernard, who had not yet recovered from the previous shock, sat on the ground and quietly watched Jonathan start his performance, until he finally came back to his senses, looking at Jonathan, who was standing at the door and didn't know what to do, Bernard finally couldn't help laughing.
Bernard, who was depressed in his heart, smiled and laughed slowly, which made Jonathan, who was standing on the side, look overwhelmed, and there seemed to be 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, if there is a voiceover, then Jonathan's heart must be: "WC, aren't they all right?" Why are you crazy again!? Hey, St. Mungo? We've got wizards here who are crazy......"
It's a pity that we can't hear what Jonathan's inner world is thinking about with a tangled expression, what we do know is that Bernard is really happy right now.
……
"So you're saying that they're completely scavengers in the underworld, and this time they're on a list to kidnap you, and they don't know anything about the Black Book of the Dead!?" Bernard, who was in a good mood, immediately got to the point and asked Jonathan about the interrogation.
"That's right, they don't know about the Black Book of the Dead at all, tonight's scene is completely because of the damn bounty order, as for the boy with weak strength, he is completely the son and son of a big family, and he came here tonight purely for fun."
When talking about the bounty order, Jonathan gritted his teeth, who knew that he laughed after saying it, but thinking about it carefully, Bernard also felt a little funny, if it wasn't for this boy who insisted on coming out to see the world, then they might have succeeded tonight.
But after laughing, Bernard couldn't help but ponder, seeing this scene, Jonathan stopped laughing, and quietly waited for his friend to think.
"You cross-examine and make sure the message is okay, right?" Bernard, who thought about it for a while, made Jonathan angry at the first sentence he spoke, and seeing Bernard's serious look, he replied angrily.
"Of course, I'm just poor in strength, not low IQ!"
As a result, what made Jonathan even more angry was that after listening to his words, Bernard didn't say anything, and said with a natural face: "That's good, I'll just confirm it again." ”
"Well, my current thinking is that if our news is correct, then there are two possibilities for this matter, one is that there is only one person who wants the Black Book of the Dead, and after he was frustrated by you, he adopted a more radical method, which is to kidnap the two of you, I guess, your house should have been attacked tonight, but it happened to dodge."
Glancing at Jonathan, Bernard shrugged his shoulders and continued, seeing that he didn't say anything.
"Of course, there is a second type, that is, there is a group of people who want the Black Book of the Dead, so there are two opinions on the way to deal with the problem, one side is more radical and should be the mastermind of tonight's attack, and the other side is more gentle, it should be the wizard who went to you to make a purchase request."
"As for what happened, it's actually very simple, just look at whether your house is so intact now!" With that, Bernard stopped talking.
Seeing that his friend stopped talking, Jonathan asked curiously, "What's the use of knowing?" Now the problem is not because of the terrorist attack on my sister and me, how should we solve it now? What's the use of knowing so much!? ”
Expressing deep helplessness about his friend's IQ, Bernard felt that strength and IQ should be directly proportional, otherwise how could Jonathan be so stupid, and he was powerless to complain in his heart, Bernard still opened his mouth to explain: "This can let us know how capable our enemy is, only by knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy, can we survive a hundred battles, okay, go quickly, no matter who you find, just take a look." ”
Sending Jonathan away, Bernard sat alone in the room and thought about it, in fact, there were some things he still hadn't said, that is, why the other party knew that the "Black Book of the Dead" was in the hands of Jonathan's brothers and sisters, which was actually a flaw.
You know, the truth that "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty" is also common in the wizarding world, and unless you are powerful and low-key, it is a terrible thing to control wealth that does not belong to you.
Like Hepziba Smith, a collector who is also famous in the wizarding world, it is because she has the wealth that wizards who are not of her strength can control, and finally attracts Voldemort, a hungry wolf.
Of course, this also has something to do with her lack of knowledge, otherwise, without her permission, who would be able to invade a well-guarded wizard's mansion unscathed, as we all know, Hepziba Smith is not only backed by the behemoth of the Smith family, but she is also a very powerful connoisseur and enchanter.
In the same way, the powerful Howard Carter may not be afraid of those hungry wolves, but with the humble strength of the brothers and sisters Jonathan and Jaquina, they can't keep that much wealth, so after the first magic riot of the two siblings, Mr. Carter began a series of elaborate preparations.
As far as Bernard knew, in addition to the executor and the overseer, Howard Carter divided his wealth into several parts and gave them to his distant relatives, declaring that he would not give his wealth to Jonathan and Jaquina because they were both Squibs.
In this regard, of course, there was an uproar in the wizarding world at the time, with supporters and opponents, and everyone supported and opposed them for a variety of reasons, supporting because many wizards believed that Squibs should not be considered part of wizards, and in orthodox wizarding concepts, Squibs were more disgusting than Muggle-born wizards.
Needless to say, the opponents are naturally wizards who strongly resist this idea, but no matter what the outside world says, in the end, this will is executed, but what they don't know is that the executed wealth is not all of Howard's treasures at all.
He did let go of a lot of precious treasures, but his really most precious things, his two secret houses, and the treasures in them, including of course the Black Book of the Dead, were inherited by his son and daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that the executor chosen by Howard Carter at that time was his good friend, Bernard's mentor Nick Lemay, Bernard would not have known so much about it, and even Bernard later did something in it, that is, he secretly changed the names of Jaquina and Jonathan and destroyed their identification.
At this point, this matter can be regarded as a successful end. However, sometimes Bernard still regrets the death of Mr. Carter, who died when he died, Mr. Carter was definitely not very old among wizards, but it was because he had been exploring the ruins for many years and was contaminated with a strange curse that he finally died young.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bernard still couldn't figure it out, put these worries behind him, slowly paced back to his room, collapsed on the bed, and then fell into a deep sleep.
