"There really aren't a lot of candidates. Mr. Broad was not angry, but smiled and said, "However, aren't there two suitable geniuses this time?" Of course, Katrina's talent is actually quite relevant, but I don't know what her personality is. ”

"Let's talk about the benefits of inheriting this surname!"

"The advantage?" Mr. Broad stroked his beard, "the greatest advantage is that you will have the opportunity to read the knowledge left behind by the Wildsmith family for hundreds of years, and every heir is a genius and will leave what he does best." ”

At this moment, Albert finally understood why Isobel would say in the letter that he should have agreed, which was indeed attractive to him.

"Of course, you're going to get a sum of money, a house of your own, oh, you've seen the house, yes, this is it. Mr. Broad spoke of the latter in a casual manner, as if it were something inconsequential.

"None of this really matters, because the people who can be chosen will not lack these things, we just gently push you one step behind to make you go faster and smoother, that's all. ”

"If I agree, what do I have to give?" Albert asked, "I don't think there's a free lunch in the world." ”

"There are some responsibilities, but it's actually very light. ”

Mr. Broad smiled merrily, knowing that he had succeeded in convincing Albert that almost no one would refuse such an offer.

"First of all, you need to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, not even your loved ones. Mr. Broad held up a second finger and said, "The second point is to choose the right person, that is, the heir you said, and when raising the next generation, you must contribute and not be selfish." Finally, leave your knowledge before you die. ”

"Gone?" Albert was stunned, as if it was really blood!

"No, that's it, the responsibility is very easy. Mr. Broder nodded, "Most of them are actually benefits, because most of the people who are chosen are very smart, and they usually don't refuse, and you probably know why they don't refuse, because there is no harm at all, and you can get a lot of benefits for nothing." ”

"Why would you agree to it?" Albert asked, after a moment's hesitation.

"Why? Don't you find the centuries-old accumulation of knowledge fascinating?" said Mr. Broad, blinking, "a great deal of that knowledge has even been lost. ”

"Well, when will I see those things?" Albert agreed, Mr. Broad's words were indeed very attractive, the knowledge left by countless geniuses, which was what they were best at, was a mountain of gold to Albert.

Others may only be able to select and absorb a part of the knowledge, but Albert is ready to turn all that knowledge into his own nourishment.

"Originally, you would have to enter Wildsmith's castle to have a chance to look through those books, but after consulting with a few other people, I allowed you to look through the books there, but Wildsmith Castle needs to wait until you reach adulthood and actually inherit the surname before you can be allowed in. Mr. Broder said.

"The castle hasn't been discovered yet?" Albert wondered, "You're hiding it well, is it the Loyalty Charm?"

"Why do you say that? Mr. Broad asked, surprised.

"You said that only wizards with the surname Wildsmith would be allowed in, and that no one else would ever be able to find that place. Albert expressed his guess, "If it were me, I would use the Loyalty Charm, the characteristic of the Loyalty Charm is that if the Keeper dies, the other insiders will automatically become Keepers, and there are only a few members of the Wildsmith family, and few people know your identity, and the others will naturally never be found." ”

"Wonderful. Mr. Broad couldn't help but applaud and admit directly, "It is indeed the Curse of Faithful Courage." ”

"I have a question. ”

"You say. Mr. Broad looked deaf.

"Is Wildsmith the founder of Ignatia Wildsmith, the inventor of Floo powder?" Albert asked, wondering.

"You've found out. "Mr. Broad was not surprised by this," the surname Wildsmith actually comes from Ignatia Wildsmith's father: Will Smith. ”

"Sure enough, I've seen the name in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets. Albert connected a lot of things, "Then again, what about the descendants of Ignathia Wildsmith?"

"We are his descendants. Professor Broad said blandly: "Every chosen person has a blood connection with this surname, and the chosen person not only needs blood, but also needs to have enough wisdom, and there can be no problems in terms of personality." ”

"I thought the Smiths were her direct descendants. Albert couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"The lineage is very unreliable, and you should have realized that the descendants of the Hogwarts Big Four have all disappeared in the long river of time, and many of the old families are declining, but we are still very strong. Speaking of this, Mr. Broad said with unconcealed pride in his tone. "Every Wildsmith is a genius, and only a genius is qualified to inherit the surname Wildsmith. ”

"Why is Mr. Rowanna not qualified?"

"Because we voted, we all decided he wasn't suitable. "Mr. Broad told a brutal truth.

"The same goes for Mr. Gerber Smith?"

"As I said, we never show any favoritism when we choose people. Mr. Broad shook his head.

"Looks like I'm in luck!" Albert laughed to himself.

"No, because you're really suitable. "It's a decision we made together, so there's nothing wrong with that." ”

"I'm curious why Rowanna Smith isn't qualified?" Albert said with a frown, recalling Rowanna's appearance at the time, "I think half of what he became like that was caused by you." ”

"This matter is meant to be a secret. Mr. Broad shook his head and said, "Even if we get some clues from some records, it is actually useless, we will spare no effort to train those who are talented, however, this does not mean that they are suitable." ”

"Rowanna's talent is actually pretty good, but his character is terrible, especially to do things like that. Mr. Broad said this in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Actually, you should also realize that we are not eager to inherit that surname, it is dispensable for us, because we are all geniuses enough, even if we don't need its brilliance and help, we can go far." ”

"What about Isobel's father?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Breel, the talent is not as good as Rowanna, and ...... It was directly considered inappropriate by everyone a long time ago. Professor Broad recalled: "Normally, we would have a friendly relationship with them, as we had in the past. ”

"I suddenly feel a little sympathy for Rowanna Smith!" Albert laughed to himself.

Most of Isobel's father's death was the responsibility of Rowanna Smith, and that guy was also guilty of it.

And that's how it turned out.

"No, you don't need to sympathize with him. Mr. Broad shook his head and said, "Since he did that, he can't blame anyone else for that fate." ”

"Last question, when will I see what I want?" said Albert, looking at Mr. Broad.

"I've got a copy for you!" said Mr. Bloder, pointing to a wooden box next to him.

For some reason, the box in front of him gave Albert a strange sense of familiarity.

"The book is in there?" he asked.

"Yes, it's inside. ”

When Albert opened the box, he felt like he was about to be blinded.

Inside the box was a book, a book made of metal.

"Is this brass? no, this is ...... Gold?"

Albert looked at Mr. Broad in disbelief, "It's made of gold...... Books?"

"It's not all gold, it's a little silver and a little bit of other metals. Mr. Broad grinned and said, "I was stunned by this thing. Can you trust a castle with a lot of books made of gold and silver?"

"You're rich!" Albert said dryly, waving his wand, and the golden box flew out of the box and landed on the slanted desk in front of him.

"Knowledge is even more valuable. Mr. Broad said softly. "And we're never short of money. ”

"Did you pick this book out of the way for me?" Albert saw in the book about the method of making a two-way mirror, and it was clear that the owner of the book was the former one-time two-way mirror maker.

Albert found this line on the back of the writing:

I have left my life's knowledge in the book, and I hope that you can find your own happiness in the book. —Brell Persder.
