Chapter 170: New Owls and Commotion

When Luke and the others returned to the populated area, the first thing they did was to ask for an owl rental shop.

"Don't worry! We have owls here, the fastest in all of France! ”

The boss looked confident, patted his chest and swore solemnly.

Luke looked at the old owl behind the boss with an old look and withered wings that were not much different from the boss's head, with a look of suspicion.

Dumbledore patted Luke's head and said, "Don't worry, this is indeed the fastest in France." ”

He pointed to the map of Europe hanging in the shop, "Because this is the closest owl rental to Hogwarts." ”

It stands to reason that they could use Nicol's owl, the big snow owl. But the snowy owl seems to have been stimulated by Kidd, and will not move until he catches a fish. Nicol advised them to find the other owls. In all these years, he hadn't seen his owl catch a few fish.

The two of them can now go straight back to Hogwarts and find Snape and ask him to boil the medicine. But...... The drug was quite complicated, and even if it was handed over to Snape and it would take two days to succeed once.

Hell, if it really takes two days, the Delacul family will be pulled into the game.

Because many times, people who struggle with this kind of thing do not want the truth at all, but a scapegoat that can be used to stabilize the status quo. The truth is not important at all, but order, stability, the hat on your head, is very important.

So Luke must stay here and clean up the mess he left behind.

Otherwise, he is incompetent, and he can't accept such an incompetent self.

"Don't touch my head, it's not tall."

Luke angrily opened Dumbledore's hand. It didn't all work out that he suddenly felt that he was so familiar with Dumbledore. This old man really doesn't have any sense of distance.

Dumbledore didn't care, and while watching the boss take out a handsome owl from the back room, he said with a smile: "A person who wants to achieve greatness, height will not be an obstacle to his progress, his mind is." ”

"Heh," Luke also looked at the owl in front of him, but after hearing this, he still sneered and said, "But in ordinary people's words, height can really cause trouble in life." ”

But you're hardly an ordinary person.

Dumbledore's words remained unspoken after all. Because there's no need. Even if he did, he was sure that Luke had something else waiting for him.

Luke had indeed been annoyed by the snowy owl with a lot of personality. But I didn't waste much time on it. After asking twice, and the other party did not respond, Luke chose to go directly to the other owls. He doesn't like to waste time on this kind of thing.

But this incident also made him understand the necessity of having an owl by his side that could deliver letters. Some letters are most suitable to be sent by an owl that you trust.

Thinking about it this way, whether it is Booker, who was sent to spend the summer vacation with Taylor, or Doris, who was left in the Forbidden Forest by Luke and handed over to Gan Wencui to cultivate, although it has its own role. However, when it comes to delivering letters, you really have to find an owl.

"Does this owl sell?"

Luke looked at the handsome big owl and asked the boss with a serious expression.

Luke's cold words made the boss's fat face stunned for a moment, and the fat on his cheeks turned up and down for a wave of flesh, and then shifted his gaze to Dumbledore.

"Don't look at me, he wants to buy it, if you want to sell it, just put it up at a suitable price." Or slaughter this kid fiercely, he is not short of money. ”

Dumbledore said unceremoniously.

This owl is indeed very beautiful, and if it weren't for Dumbledore's own phoenix to deliver the message, maybe it would be really greedy.

The boss looked at Luke's small body, and still had the big guy on his arm that was much bigger than a normal owl, and said helplessly: "It's not that I can't give him to you, little guy, but this guy is a little too fierce." ”

Luke didn't know much about owls, but the owl in front of him was dressed in a dark brown feather coat, with a pair of sharp horns on the top of his head, yellow eyes, heavy black longitudinal stripes and horizontal spots on his chest and abdomen, feathers covering his legs, and his face was not obvious, closer to an eagle. It looks like it's more than seventy centimeters long, and it's definitely a big guy.

"This is a hairy-legged fishing owl, and the biggest owl in my shop, it's too fierce to be suitable for you."

As soon as the boss's words fell, he saw Luke beckoning directly to his owl.

The owl, which he had just bought and was a little rusty with himself, flapped his wings and flew to Luke's side without saying a word, and then stood down on Luke's shoulder.

Those sharp claws couldn't scratch Luke's robes.

The boss suddenly realized that the child in front of him was not easy to mess with, but at the same time, he was a big fat sheep worth slaughtering.

But before the boss could make his own offer, Luke took a bulging money bag from his belt and threw it on the counter.

The boss smiled the moment he picked up the money bag from the counter, and he was even happier when he opened it and saw the shining gold, and when he reached out and stirred the coins inside, he finally reached the height of his joy when he reached out and stirred the coins inside, and found that they were all gold gallons.

"Do you want to send the letter now? Master? ”

The smile on his face was only flattering, leaving Dumbledore, an old acquaintance, speechless.

But after all, it is understandable.

After the owl named Asen had just been brought by Luke's name Asen, along with the letter and potion recipe and a copy of Dumbledore's token, the old and the young walked out of the small owl rental shop.

"You're giving a little too much." Dumbledore couldn't help but spit out after all.

That's not the price of buying an owl at all, it's the price that almost sells half an owl shop.

"I just took a money bag out of my belt."

Luke said frankly and indifferently: "More and less are all the same, it's not easy to meet an owl that is pleasing to the eye." ”

"It's a bargain to be able to buy happiness with money."

Dumbledore was speechless, he had never been so rich, so it was difficult to understand what such a rich man thought.

With a wave of their wands, the two men disappeared from place again.

…………

"It's been a day! It's been a whole day! What the hell are you eating? ”

The young and capable French Minister of Magic snarled angrily at his Auror staff.

"You know that the heir of the Gaunt family, the only heir, was robbed in France, on the Boulevard Tobin in France, and on the Boulevard Tobin in France by the rats of Garnilon! Do you know what this concept is?! ”

The head of the Auror Office looked solemn. took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva on his face, and then said helplessly: "We are already looking for it, but you don't know that the area of Ganilon Black Street itself is much larger than Tobin Avenue, and there are many people in it." And we're not sure if the man stayed in the Black Street of Ganilon or if he used it as a transit point and fled. ”

"It's a lot of work. We need more time, we need more manpower, and with my Auror office alone, do you want us to find next year? ”

His expression was quite calm, but he could also see that he was also full of resentment at this time.

"Then find someone who can give an account to the group of lords who are busy seeking justice for their companions!" The Minister of Magic said angrily, "I remember that there were a few other people at the scene besides the girl who came to Strange's house?" Just hand them over to the old men to vent their anger. ”

"It's them, Minister. And you'd better abandon the idea. ”

The director of the Auror Office shook his head helplessly, such a simple and commonly used method, if it was easy to use, how could he not use it.

"The report to you has been written before, and in addition to Chrissy Lystrange, there is also Lady Apolline Delacour, and her two daughters, Fleur Delacour and Gabrielle Delacour."

The Minister of Magic was about to speak, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the head of the Auror Office.

"Lady Apolline Delacul's name before she was married was Apollin Cinder. Even now in the ministry, he is a well-known half-charming baby auror. Although she is no longer in the position of Auror, believe me, if you don't want to offend a lot of civil servants, it is better not to touch her. ”

The Minister of Magic frowned, looking a little unwilling. After all, being frightened by such a woman who had only been an Auror seemed to be a loss of face for a Minister of Magic.

So the director of the Auror office could only continue to speak: "When Fleur Delacour was dragged into the Ministry of Magic to cooperate with the investigation, the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxim, called us almost immediately, telling us to investigate clearly before acting. ”

"Minister, the Delacour family can be scapegoats, but definitely not now."

Only when they really can't find anything, and the pressure from the nobles is not only felt by the ministers and them, can such cards be played.

It's not that you can't fight, it's just that timing is important.

"There's another ...... there"

"The remaining one is an employee of the Gaunt family...... One of the heads of the Gaunt family immediately came over to investigate, and determined that this person had nothing to do with the disappearance of their family head. ”

Xiao Xiong, the director of the Auror office, spread his hands: "I have no choice, if you are really in such a hurry, it is better for me to take the blame and resign first." ”

The Minister of Magic covered his forehead in pain, and said bitterly: "Isn't there no one in the Gaunt family!?" How could there be a person in charge? ”

The head of the Auror Office just shook his head.

The devil knows what the hell is going on.

…………

"So what was the situation like?"

Gemma asked about the situation again, frowning, as if she wanted to find some clues from Zhou.

And Ruth had no choice but to repeat the information she had said many times before.

His eyes were also constantly looking at the top boss in front of him.

The body shape is naturally the best of the best, and the clothes on the body are not the traditional bow wizard costumes, but the more convenient Muggle office attire. It looks neat and neat, but it also has a different kind of beauty.

The most important thing is...... Young, too young, looks like he's just graduated from school. But as far as Ruth knew, the assets that the person in front of her was taking care of was a rather exaggerated amount.

If it weren't for the fact that the boss of the Gaunt family was too young, she would really wonder if there was some kind of relationship between the two men.

emmm, if you think about it, although you are a little younger, it may not be impossible to do so.

After all, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy probably likes the 18-year-old big sister.

Now Gemma didn't have the heart to think about how her subordinate had orchestrated her leader in her mind. In a sense, it is also the wisdom of leadership to accept the arrangement of his subordinates, and even to a certain extent to turn a blind eye to such things, and to act when the time comes.

There was a knock at the door, and Ruth got up to open the door with a lot of color, and invited the three men inside.

Gemma looked at the three beautiful mothers and daughters, who were very similar, but each with their own characteristics, and made a gesture of please.

The three of them, led by Apollin Delacul, sat in front of Gemma without any panic, and if it had been a day ago, they might have been a little restrained. But by the end of the day, they had already seen a lot of people they didn't normally see.

Including the dragon who came to the strange family without seeing the end.

It was also the first time that Fleur Delacour had seen the luxury of aristocracy.

"Three good, my name is Gemma Farley, and I'm one of Luke Gaunt's agents."

Gemma greeted the three of them politely, and then said helplessly, "I'm sorry to get you involved in this kind of thing, but don't worry, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"I called you here this time, I just wanted to know a little bit more."

Apolline Delacour said helplessly: "We have already told the relevant news many times, but, since you asked, then we will say it again, but this is better for the last time. ”

Although the words were a little resentful, Madame Delacour's tone was not tough. Because she also knew that they were okay now, because it wasn't too long, and she had Beauxbatons' help. And this kind of questioning is certainly not something that can be easily stopped.

"I really didn't expect that just wanting to do a good deed would have such a result."

Madame Delacour said with some self-deprecation.

"No, rest assured, the scenario you envisage will never happen."

Gemma was helplessly relieved: "Because Luke will be fine." ”

"After all, Dumbledore hasn't even shown up yet."

After that, Gemma communicated the situation with Madame de la Cour, and her tone was calm and calm, but the questions she asked were always to the point, and she never said a word of nonsense.

Gabrielle on the side looked boredly at the quill on the table. And Fleur is looking at the radiant and confident Gemma in front of her. This woman is slightly inferior in appearance to her. But this kind of temperament is something she doesn't have.

And this kind of temperament, high-minded, calm and capable temperament, makes her yearn for it.

And just then, a paper airplane flew in through the window and unfolded on the table in front of Gemma.

Gemma took one look, then let out a long sigh of relief with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Alright, the backbone is finally back."

"The backbone?" Fleur thought to herself with some confusion, "Is that the child?" ”

Thinking back to the good-looking little boy, looking at the woman in front of her, Fleur was a little strange for a while.

What kind of magic does that one named Luke have?
