Chapter 229: Domestic Guards House Elves
"Hello Professor Zhang!" A middle-aged woman led by a capable dress looked heroic, but there was a kind smile on her face, which made her temperament softer.
"Who are you?" Grandpa wondered,
The woman smiled and said, "My surname is Chen, you can call me Xiao Chen, we came to talk to your grandson Zhang Xuan!" ”
"Do you have anything to do with my son?" Zhang Weiguo said, and his mother Li Chaomei also stood up.
Ms. Chen smiled and asked, "Can you talk about it alone?" ”
"Okay, let's go to the study!" ZHANG Weiguodao,
As he spoke, the group entered the study, and Zhang Xuan saw that the last person to come in had posted a talisman on the door, and the sound from outside could not be transmitted into the room at all.
"Your kids know magic, don't they?" Ms. Chen still had a smile on her face,
Zhang Xuan said: "Yes, when I went to the Forbidden City yesterday to play, I found that there was no magic in it at all!" I didn't expect you guys to be here today! ”
Zhang Weiguo and Li Chaomei were a little nervous, and involuntarily leaned forward, and their hands were clenched into a fist.
Ms. Chen smiled: "Don't be nervous, we didn't come to detain him!" ”
"I'm sorry, he only went to the magic school for half a year, and he can't control magic well, don't mind!" Zhang Weiguo hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, we're not here to find your son for this matter!" Ms. Chen smiled,
looked at Zhang Xuan again and said, "I just came over to tell Zhang Xuan, don't show your magic in front of others, the impact is not good!" ”
"Don't worry, I won't show my magic at will!" Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "But you won't just tell me not to use magic as a trivial thing!" ”
"What a smart boy, you're right!" Ms. Chen smiled: "We haven't communicated with each other for a long time since we have communicated with the three major schools of magic in Europe, so I would like to inquire about the status of your Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" ”
Sure enough, Zhang Xuan knew it in his heart. If there is magic in this world, how can China not have it? This year is 92 years again, and Hong Kong will return in a few years, so why can't you prepare in advance.
But there are not many people who go abroad to study and work, and there are even fewer children with magical talents, and it can be said that there are very few people who go home to visit relatives, but I didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so lucky to be discovered by them.
"Well, who made me also Chinese, you ask!" Zhang Xuan nodded and said, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, he doesn't mind helping the motherland.
"Is Lord Voldemort really dead?" Ms. Chen asked, it seems that the impact of this Voldemort is not small, and even the country is concerned about these things.
"Not dead!" Zhang Xuan said: "Harry Potter, who is in the same grade as me, entered the school, and only met Voldemort this year, but he only has one soul left, and he is extremely powerful!" ”
"Harry Potter?" A few people behind Ms. Chen whispered, "I'm just the newspaper saying that the kid killed Voldemort must be fake!" ”
"Voldemort can survive for so long as a lonely soul, if he is resurrected, his strength must be extraordinary!" Ms. Chen said solemnly, "What about the professors at your school?" ”
"Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of the school, hasn't really shown his strength, but occasionally the magic is very grand~~~"
Zhang Xuan told Ms. Chen about the school and what she had seen in the wizarding world, and it wasn't until noon that Ms. Chen took someone away.
"Thank you for the news! Very important to us! Ms. Chen said.
Zhang Xuan and Ms. Chen's conversation was tacitly avoided by everyone, with this experience, Zhang Xuan didn't have any intention of playing, and when his parents' holiday ended, Zhang Xuan was working silently.
Back in London, Zhang Xuan began to experiment and improve his own defense equipment, but the progress was very slow, and Zhang Xuan had to go to Diagon Alley again to buy materials.
"Son, what are you doing here? Didn't you smoke the powder? Li Chaomei wondered:
"You see that you spend money like water during this time, although we are doing a business without capital, but we can't help such expenses!"
"This~"
Zhang Xuan was also a little embarrassed, the test in the past few days was not very good, the magic materials were more sensitive, even if Zhang Xuan was careful and careful, he still failed.
"Oh, failure is the mother of success! It's no problem to try it a few more times! Zhang Weiguo said:
"I just want to change some money to buy stocks, just on the way, let's go shopping together!"
Hearing that she was going out shopping, her mother Li Chaomei didn't care about blaming Zhang Xuan.
went to Diagon Alley to exchange money, Zhang Xuan went to select materials, and Zhang Weiguo and Li Chaomei went to the wizard's restaurant for dinner.
Zhang Xuan also meets Draco Malfoy, who follows his father, Lucius Malfoy, to buy magic herbs, and Dobby, a tattered house-elf in tatters.
This house-elf is very interesting, the equivalent of a wizard's slave, but strangely enough, they show a lot more magical talent than wizards.
And there are elves in Gringotts, which seem to be the same kind, but their status is significantly higher. Dobby, the elf of Draco Malfoy's family, is still quite a dramatic one.
Unlike the average house-elf who serves his master for life, Dobi yearns for freedom, which is an outlier among house-elves.
"Looks like I'm going to have to find a house-elf too!" Zhang Xuan muttered,
This elf can not only do housework, but is also a wise magical creature in itself, which is very suitable as an assistant.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan went to the Fantastic Beasts Market.
Although it is very convenient for the house-elves to serve the family for generations, they still sneak together and reproduce the next generation.
For wizards it is not necessary to sterilize them, and their descendants can keep them for use or sell them, which is also a considerable income.
When you come to the smart animal store, in addition to the fish-people, horse-people, and bird-people, house-elves are also among them. However, the house-elves sold are all meat balls.
"This is a house-elf?" Zhang Xuan pointed to the sign and asked, "Why is this so?" ”
Zhang Xuan still hasn't said a word, how can he be the same as Nezha.
"The house-elf is a flesh-and-egg child, and if you cast a spell on it, it will recognize you as its lord and burst out of its shell!" The owner was an old sorceress, hunched over, about a meter tall.
"I want to buy one, how much does it cost?" Zhang Xuan asked,
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Sixty Galleons!" Branded with loyalty, forty Galleons! ”
"That's a hundred Galleons, right?" ZHANG Xuandao,
"That's a good point!" The shopkeeper said, pointing to the house-elf and said, "Which one do you like?" ”
Zhang Xuan pointed to the one that beat the most and said, "It's him, the most energetic one!" ”
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the shopkeeper put magic on the meat ball, and after a while, the meat ball cracked.
