This owl is not big, I don't know if it's because it's not big for this breed or because it's still a child.

Anyway, he was able to rest firmly on Linde's shoulders, which had not yet begun to develop his body.

Linde walked quickly out of the beach and into the streets of the town, where the sun had set, and on the other side there was no moon, only thick clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily tonight.

Linde opened the door of a tavern with ease, and as soon as he walked in, it was as if he had entered another world, and the second-hand smoke visible to the naked eye over the tavern, the smell of sweat, smoke, and the salty smell of people on the seaside mixed into his nose.

The little owl arched deep into his neck, half of his head buried in Linde's wet hair.

It seems that it wants to eat the delicious things that Linde said in his mouth again, and on the other hand, he is afraid of the environment in front of him.

Linde couldn't help but feel amused as he felt the little owl's movements, and someone in the tavern saw Linde.

"Yo, who is this, our little fishman is back!" Behind the quaint wooden bar, a middle-aged punk man with a beard who looked to be in his forties shouted loudly, and the noisy bar was much less noisy when he heard his words.

Someone saw the little owl on Linde's shoulder and immediately laughed: "This is the new friend of our little fishman friend!"

Hearing his words, Linde took the owl into his arms: "I don't know which little guy I picked up." ”

"Picked up? You're not going to dig a bird's nest anymore! ”

"Who knows him, this kid is like small animals when he is young, which is like me, only women like him." Half of the front teeth of those who say this have been broken.

Hearing this joke, Linde also laughed with the rest of the hotel. Ray Romano likes to make jokes about himself to set the mood.

This tavern is called the Tavern of Augustus. The middle-aged man who Linde came in just now and called him Mr. Little Fishman was the first child adopted by Ms. Evelyn. Also Linde's older brother.

His name was Felix Augustus. Also the owner of this tavern.

Most of the people who spent money in this tavern were people who had benefited from Lady Evelyn at the time, some of whom still had the surname Augustus, and some of whom still gave themselves the middle name of Augustus even after being adopted and changed their surnames.

So most of the people in this tavern are Linde's "older brothers and sisters".

After a few more laughs with the men, Linde went straight to Felix at the bar.

Seeing him coming, Felix cryptically handed him a thick envelope. Linde didn't look at it, and received it directly in his pocket.

In the eyes of outsiders, Linde has shown extraordinary learning ability since he was a child, and if he didn't like to run into the sea every day, he would have skipped a grade and gone to middle school.

For this reason, several of his older siblings tried their best to force him to study hard, but they were stopped when they were discovered by Ms. Evelyn.

And what was in the envelope just now was Linde's manuscript fee. A year ago, he began writing under Felix's name in local newspapers and in the UK's more famous story publications.

As for why it's not a bank card, because Linde can't get a bank card now, Felix will take it into cash and hand it over to him every time the manuscript fee comes.

It's not that Linde doesn't want to deposit the money directly in Felix's card, it's that Felix doesn't want to.

He said that his money should be kept by himself, whether it is spent indiscriminately or poorly kept, and he will be responsible for theft or theft.

After Linde put the money in the inner lining, he combed his bird feathers and talked to Felix

"Old Brando's money to come here."

Lind pouted at the table in the corner of the tavern. I saw a rickety old man with a sallow face dressed in patched clothes sitting at the gaming table.

You know, this tavern is not cheap for non-Augustan families, and that old Brando is an old scoundrel in the town, who only drinks every day and doesn't have a serious job on weekdays. I heard that the money for drinking on weekdays came from his young son, Dio Brando.

"It seems like it's because he rented out the rotten stone house and his broken boat today. No, it should be said that it was a lie, after all, the rotten stone house and the rotten ship are just things that no one wants, and they are not his things. ”

"Who the is crazy about renting that thing." Linde looked puzzled.

"Ahem! Don't swear, you kid. Felix's small eyes stared at Linde until he nodded earnestly before continuing.

"It seems that it is a family of four, maybe it is here to travel! The fat-brained idiots in the city like to do weird tunes. ”

Hearing this, Linde always felt that what he said was somewhat familiar, but the noise in the tavern made him unable to remember it for a moment.

Linde chatted with Felix a few more words, then said goodbye to the acquaintances in the tavern one by one, and then pushed the door and walked out of the tavern.

"Anyway, this kid Linde is about to go to middle school! I don't think he's going to choose the middle school in our town. ”

"Isn't that right? The school in our town again does not have a swimming pool. Our little fishman is so good! A man burst out laughing.

"If only my mother were still around, she would definitely find a way to get Linde to go to Eton."

I don't know who said this, but there is only one person who can be called a mother in this tavern.

The noisy tavern was quiet for a moment, and only the voices of old Brande and the other gamblers cheered or cheered......

Lind didn't know what they were talking about after he left, and he trotted out of the tavern to a small restaurant.

I ordered some food, and asked for some raw beef, chicken, bacon and other food for the owl.

Under the strange eyes of the clerk, Linde finished his meal early, and waited until the owl finished eating with a peck before getting up to pay and leave.

At this time, it was already raining lightly outside, and when I got home, one person and one bird had become soup chickens, but one was a description and the other was a statement.

Lind lived in Ms. Evelyn's house, next door to Felix's, and was used to take care of the elderly Evelyn, and now to take care of Linde.

The yards of the two houses were opened, and Felix's two big masters regarded Linde as their second owner, because Linde had his own animal language buff, so the two big dogs have always protected his safety.

When he got home, he took a shower to wash away the rain and salty smell from his body, and only then did he remember where old Brando's money came from.

He remembered that in the Harry Potter books, after the Dursleys were bombarded by Hogwarts admission letters, Uncle Vernon took his wife, Harry, and a pig to a broken wooden house on a huge reef at sea.

Tonight, just after 12 o'clock, the half-blood giant Hagrid will deliver a letter of admission and a cake to Harry in the middle of the storm.

Because tomorrow is July 31st, Harry Potter's 11th birthday.
