Chapter 34: The Wizard of the Highlands

Lupin was settled, summer had just begun, and there was still some time to go until the first of September.

But for Kane, there's always something to do.

"Mr. Shafiq. ”

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Shafiq. ”

"Hello boss. ”

β€œLord!”......

Along the way, he was greeted by a greeting and Kane nodded in return.

The men of the Shafiq family are similar to the men of the Gower family, tall and burly, but at the same time they all seem a little stupid.

Compared to his peers, Kane is also very tall, but he does not look stupid at all, on the contrary, he has an aristocratic elegance, but he is not at all a sissy, but strong and tough.

Many people subconsciously regard him as an adult, especially those who have been in close contact with him, and will naturally ignore his real age.

There is no need to deliberately do publicity, just by gossip, he is already famous, and even the Eastern wizarding world knows that there is a young genius in Britain, named Kane Shafiq.

In addition to genius, he has many titles, Prince of Potions, the future helmsman of the most profitable Chamber of Commerce, heir to the Baron of the Highlands, winner of the Order of Merlin of the 1st degree.

Kane, on the other hand, prefers to be called a lord, but unfortunately Britain does not have such a delicate title.

The Highlands, one of Scotland's administrative divisions, whose capital is Inverness, Britain's northernmost city, the coldest city, and the longest city in summer.

The Shafiq family's connection to the Highlands can be traced back to the early Stuart dynasty.

Although this dynasty is ranked after the Tudor dynasty, which is claimed to be the most glorious and the most anecdote, it is called the least successful dynasty in history. But in fact, there are still some commendable points.

For example, the formal annexation of England to Scotland was completed, and the divine right of kings was preached, reaching the peak of autocracy. After the Revolution and Restoration, it also opened up a precedent for a constitutional monarchy, including the prototype of the prime minister system and the party's governance, all of which originated from this dynasty.

The Shafiq family once crossed the two worlds of mortal witches, and once had the title of the contemporary Merlin, which shows its power.

In the fifteenth century, the rise of the divine right of kings was followed by the witch hunt. It was at that time that the Shafiq family fell out with the royal power of the mortal world.

However, I don't know whether it was fear or still had the intention of mutual benefit, but the Stuart family still did not deprive the Shafiq family of their highland titles.

The legend of the highland wizard has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is especially taboo by the locals.

It wasn't until the Victorian era, when the British began to plant flags all over the world, and the prestige of the dynasty reached an unprecedented high, that the mystical legend weakened and faded from the hearts of the locals, leaving only a shallow trace.

Later, there were several movies based on legends, and the {Highlanders} prototype was actually the Shafiq family, and the most famous secret method of the Shafiq family was the inheritance of magic power, the immortal body.

Of course, how much truth there is in it is debatable. Anyway, Kane didn't see even a little bit of the secret method related to it from the family secret method inheritance, but there are some records in the family history books, but you can brag about this kind of thing, and no one in the world knows it by itself, right?

In any case, in Kane's opinion, among the shabby families of the Shafiq family, what is still valuable includes a complete set of inheritance documents, and even trusteeship documents during the Hanoverian and Windsor dynasties.

The ancestors of the Shafiq family were also ambitious, and they have always refused to give up the ancient title, but spent some strength to renew their lives, naturally wanting to retain this forced identity as a fulcrum for re-intervening in the world.

It's just that in the later period of the Windsor Dynasty, the Shafiq family was in decline, and the wizarding world was not well managed, so how could there be time to take care of the secular business?

It doesn't matter, this set of title inheritance documents is too historically valuable. In particular, there are descriptions of the customs and landforms of the relevant period. You must know that most humans at that time had never been to an area other than a day's journey from their homes in their lifetimes. Knowledge is also available to a few. The wizard who wielded magic was a prophet who knew the world in those days.

So throw these things to the British authorities, and have a carbon appraisal to break the time clearly, and it will immediately be an authoritative masterpiece. It is really not a big problem to get the title back and get secular recognition in this way. After all, the current title is also an honor, not a real noble.

Of course, if you are really willing to spend money and pay a lot of taxes (especially inheritance tax), it is not negotiable. Anyway, a lot of the Shafiq family's land is still barren land, and it is good that someone is willing to pay the official money for that kind of place.

Kane was willing to spend the money, after all, he was more ambitious than Shafiq's predecessors. Having a worldly recognized qualification, and having a noble status and an extraordinary background, is still very helpful to him and his career.

Westerners recognize this, and when they say who my ancestors are, what cattle have they had. In fact, Orientals also believe that after becoming famous, they will break the family tree and try their best to prove that they are not too many of the Zhao family.

That's how his family's title of barony of the Highlands came about, and according to the order, the current successor to the baronial title is his cheap father, Stanley Shafiq, who is still imprisoned in Azkaban. Lao Tzu is not dead yet, and legally speaking, it is not his turn.

And to be able to get this thing done, Demon Tears is naturally indispensable.

In fact, most of the nods and cordial greetings encountered in Exmoor Cottage were in the face of the money god, which Kane knew very well.

The old lady in the British palace happily promised the Baron of the Highlands to reappear after a few hundred years, and it was also for this reason. Who doesn't like a cash cow? Although the British royal family's industry is still considered to be wealthy, there is no such power as the Demon Tears.

The representative of the royal family, who was in charge of negotiations, even once suggested that a few percentage points more, the Earl of the Highlands would be okay, the Earl, how much more to say?

Get out! When my brother is wronged, he throws money crazy for a false name? Think my brother doesn't know how hungry and hot the market is now?

But these people are sometimes flies.

No, I think that the Shafiq family is rich and famous, and this person with a heart comes to look for money. It is said that the baronial heraldic style is to be discussed.

The family coat of arms of the Baron of the Highlands is clear at a glance, the blue background represents loyalty and truth, the shield represents protection, the zigzag represents the land, the wave pattern represents the sea, and the goat in the middle represents the heroic, the strategist, and the victor.

One of the important reasons for such simplicity is that the Shafiq family has never intermarried with secular nobles, while the pure-blood nobles of the wizarding world are a different set and are not recognized by each other. Therefore the coat of arms is not divided into two halves, but in four, with a crown and with leaves.

As for the coat of arms of the baron, he later learned from Catherine that he was originally a descendant of the Stuart dynasty, and tried to cling, or rather, the binding of fame and profit, and could not be beaten by twelve poles, and it was said that it belonged to a certain princess, and hoped to marry him. As long as you get married, the coat of arms and fancy ones can't be recognized, and you don't know how to be a typical one.

In the VIP room, there were other representatives from the International Federation of Magic and Magic, as well as other big-sounding representatives, waiting to be met.

It's all about money. Last year, the cost price supply of 20% of the annual production of Magic Tears and Black Hemp has made the annual profit of the International Federation of Magic exceed eight million gold galleons.

In the first two quarters of this year, it was already more than six million, and there was no problem with an annual income of 10 million gold gallons.

As such, there is still a lot of room for profit, and the International Confederation of Magic is further setting up their secular business channels to find better agents.

Magic tears and black hemp have become the pillar of the International Federation of Magic's profit-making industries. How thick this cash cow is, how big the face of the Shafiq family is.

These people on the road nodded to Kane, not even flattery, but the most basic respect, respect for the god of money represented by Kane.

Kane felt that Exmoor Hill was almost ready for the United Nations office in the wizarding world. On this day, it was these birds and beasts, and the mysterious atmosphere of the magic world was negligible.

Use the teleportation array to go straight to Nozawa Castle, which is his base, his private territory.
