Eleanor didn't seem to react to the name "Harry Potter", but after simply nodding to him as a polite gesture, she turned to ask Dumbledore about the purpose of his trip. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As an old friend who has had a friendship with the White Wizard for nearly a hundred years, she knows the character of this old friend very well, and she has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Eleanor's calmness made Harry feel a little lost inexplicably. You must know that in the past, wizards, whether they were adults or minors, as long as they knew that his name was Harry Potter, they would pay more attention to it. But this dwarven lady—

Harry stole a glance at Eleanor's very different form from humans, and comforted himself with himself: maybe it was because the dwarves didn't pay much attention to human dynamics.

On the other side, Dumbledore and Eleanor were still talking.

"Where's Nick, how has he been doing lately?"

"It's still the same, you know, the side effects of those things are really annoying!"

"It's an equivalent exchange of life, isn't it...... I thought you'd be used to it. ”

The dwarven lady sighed, a look of sadness on her face.

"It's because I'm used to it that I feel even more sorry for Nick...... That pain......" she shook her head, but the rest of the words came to her lips but did not come out.

But Dumbledore knew what she was trying to say. For some people, being able to achieve a long lifespan comparable to that of elves and blood clans at the cost of such a small "side effect" is definitely a good deal.

But in the eyes of those of them who have their own persistence and their own ideas in their hearts, this kind of immortality is undoubtedly very painful.

So Dumbledore has always been in favor of his old friend's choice. Eleanor did the same.

Skimming over the somewhat heavy subject, Dumbledore drew Eleanor's attention back to Harry. Dumbledore did not choose to hide the fact that Harry had a fragment of a remnant in his body.

In his heart, Eleanor was as trustworthy as Nick Lemay.

"Horcruxes?" Eleanor always felt a little familiar with the term, as if she had heard it somewhere.

After spending a moment searching for her memories, Eleanor suddenly looked abrupt: "Yes, I've heard this name......"

"It seems like it was more than sixty years ago, Nick studied Horcruxes for a while, but then seems to have given up for some reason."

Eleanor shook her head a little in annoyance, and then said to Dumbledore and Harry apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's been too long for many details to remember...... However, Nick should still have the original experiment records, and I think it can help you. ”

After hearing Eleanor's words, Dumbledore and Harry couldn't help but rejoice at the same time. Especially the latter, even the expression on his face was a little excited.

Harry said he didn't know about Horcruxes and the like, and he didn't want to know about them, but the pain caused to him by that remnant fragment was something that the young savior would never forget.

And when Harry learned from Dumbledore that the remnant fragment in his body was part of Voldemort's soul, it made him hate Voldemort more and more, and at the same time, there was a faint fear in his heart.

Although there is no such thing as "snatching away" in the West, there are many similar legends such as devils and evil spirits in various fairy tale books.

Harry now worries every day when he falls asleep, what if he wakes up and is no longer himself? This problem, like the previous headache, is the main cause of his frequent nightmares.

As if sensing Harry's anxiety, Eleanor continued to gossip, and after telling Dumbledore to wait a moment, she turned back to the counter and pulled out a brass-colored bell from inside.

Jingle bell~

As the bell in the dwarf's hand swayed, a crisp and pleasant bell sounded in the ears of several people.

And just as Harry was guessing what the bell was for, a figure almost as short as Eleanor suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of several people.

Dumbledore and Eleanor looked as usual, as if they were no strangers to the sudden appearance of the creature, but Harry Potter, who saw such a creature for the first time, was almost startled.

He looked at the creature in front of him with some disbelief: it was a strange creature that looked about the same height as a dwarf, but in terms of stature it was far thinner than a dwarf, and could almost be called scrawny. At first glance, this strange creature looks a little close to a goblin, but it's clear that it's not a goblin.

"Betel Nut, you take care of the store first, I have something to go out with a few guests."

Eleanor said to the creature that suddenly appeared.

Harry realized that the strange creature in front of him was called Betel Nut.

"Do as you command, ma'am!"

The strange-looking creature that seemed to Harry treated Eleanor with great respect.

Eleanor nodded, and then reassuringly led Dumbledore and the others to the back of the store.

It wasn't until a few people were far away from the front shop that Harry asked Dumbledore curiously, "Professor...... What was that just now? ”

Due to the previous intervention of the dialect, Harry Potter in this world did not know Dobby, so he naturally did not know what a house-elf was.

"That's the house-elf betel nut, a very capable little fellow."

Before Dumbledore could illuminate Harry, Eleanor, who was walking ahead, replied casually.

"House-elves?"

Harry, who didn't know what a house-elf was, was even more puzzled when he heard this, but in order not to let the dwarven lady think that he was shallow, Harry still suppressed the curiosity in his heart and closed his mouth to ask.

Dumbledore, who was on the side, noticed the curiosity in Harry's eyes, and introduced him to the creature.

"House-elves are artificial alchemy creatures transformed from goblins and from ancient wizards, and are the most loyal assistants and servants of wizards."

"Leprechaun?" After listening to Dumbledore's explanation, Harry was even more surprised, he had only thought that this creature looked a little similar to a goblin, but he didn't expect it to be transformed from a goblin.

"Yes, Harry. If you listened carefully in the history of magic class...... Harry felt that Dumbledore looked at him with a little surprise and embarrassment as he said this. “…… You'll recall that in the mid-eighteenth century, there was a massive goblin rebellion in the wizarding world. ”

"And the house-elves are the product of the wizards of the time, when they were trying to find a way to deal with the captured rebel goblins."

"I have to say that the birth of house-elves is really a boon for wizards. You have to know Harry, not every wizard is as proficient in life magic as Molly. ”

Just thinking about it in his head, Harry remembered who Dumbledore was talking about Molly, and he couldn't help but laugh softly. Well, the lady did look like a typical housewife, and his friend Ron usually described his mother's nagging in his ear.

But to be honest, Harry still envied Ron's family in his heart, and even sometimes he wondered if his life would be like this if it weren't for Voldemort.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world...... Harry sighed secretly, suddenly losing interest in continuing to learn about house-elves.

Dumbledore noticed the change in Harry's expression, and a thoughtful twinkle flashed in his eyes. He didn't say much, though, just patted Harry on the shoulder and motioned for him to keep along.

At this time when they were talking, Eleanor, who was leading the way in front, had already walked a little far.
