Chapter 220: Judgment and Game (8k) Subscription !!
Deng Liduo looked at the group of guys in front of him who were talking happily, and there was still a trace of emotion in his eyes.
This scene is exactly what Luke said to himself at the time.
The time goes back to 5 minutes ago.
Luke looked at Dumbledore with a solemn expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that, Professor. There's no point in worrying about that."
Dumbledore looked at Luke with some confusion. Luke's face flickered at the flickering lights. As the surrounding lights were repaired, Luke's face became brighter and brighter overall, and eventually a bright smile appeared on his face.
"As long as they still ask for me, don't say that it has nothing to do with me in the first place, even if it was really done by me. They're going to have to suffer this dumb loss, and they'll even have to find someone to blame me."
Luke's smile was natural and honest.
"This incident does seem to be a slap in the face of the entire American aristocratic circle, but as long as the other party still makes up his mind to hide under the surface of the water and oppose me, then there are many ways to solve such a problem. Wasn't it just an attack? Find a few reasons and easily make everyone happy."
When Luke said so, Dumbledore understood.
Essentially, it was a few punches for the sake of face, and then forcibly said that I had already beaten it back. As for this so-called beating back, whether it really beat out a pig's head, or put a life-seeking spell eight kilometers away, it doesn't matter so much.
Anyway, the vast majority of people don't know the truth and accurate information, so they can accept such things.
"But it's such a big deal......
Dumbledore seemed a little reluctant to speak, after all, this matter involved the lives of many nobles. In Dumbledore's mind, this was an absolute big deal. If something like this were to happen in Britain, it would be possible for a group of nobles to join forces to put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, and even if they could say that whoever could solve the problem would become the next Minister of Magic.
Best of all, you can even start tomorrow.
It's normal to have such thoughts. And a person who has a certain suspicion of a crime can still be treated well, no matter how he thinks, it is unlikely.
But in reality, after all, Luke is just a suspect. And the people of the three families of Tripkade, Skye, and Envi were not injured. Then even if it was really Luke's doing, everyone would not turn their faces. Or rather, there is no point in the others turning their faces on Luke. Luke himself didn't have a good face for them.
So, there's nothing you can't talk about.
"By the way, Professor, is there something wrong with Stewart?"
Luke looked at Stewart, who had been left alone in the distance, the expression on his face was still normal, and even calm and elegant. But in Lloka's emotional perception, this guy can be regarded as a 'two wars, almost wanting to go first,'.
It's a pity that I can't go.
"I really think it's too late to run." Dumbledore looked at Stewart on the side and said with some regret, "That faint fluctuation of magic is indeed hidden. But it's a bit too hasty to release it in an open and unsheltered place like a ballroom." ….
Luke looked at Stewart, then at the tall old man next to him.
"Professor, I mean, is there a chance that he won't be able to escape from your hands?"
"But I don't mean to stop him."
Dumbledore smiled evilly, the old man still maintained a fairly childlike heart after all.
Luke shrugged when he heard this, he hadn't been here for long, and he had learned to express his emotions like this.
"Feel free. They don't care that much about your behavior anyway. There's nothing wrong with you're strong, but everyone knows how to get you to help without angering you."
Dumbledore didn't deny what Luke said, but instead blinked and smiled, "My lovely student, I don't think it's a bad thing. Because if you can not offend me and give me what I want, then I can't do anything
What."
"Trust me, Professor, I'll give you a price you can't refuse." Luke said as if he was joking, "Maybe you'll be able to break through the line."
Dumbledore was noncommittal, but there was no doubt that such a performance was the result of a series of changes that Luke had made to him.
If such a person can't devote himself to politics, then it's not bad to be a great bargaining chip.
And at this moment, three figures slowly appeared at the gate, and it seemed that the discussion of the three people had reached a result.
The moment the three of them approached the hall, the three of them quickly intervened, controlling Stewart, who had gotten up to greet them, in place.
"Stewart! You traitor!" Don Tripcard's face was flushed, even his neck was congested with blood, and the expression on his face was sad and angry, "I really want to accept you into this group. Your family's long history and noble other half of your blood deserve our acceptance. It only takes a little modification and you can become one of us."
"But your betrayal has hurt us, and it has hurt the entire American wizarding community! We can't accept you as one of us anymore."
Tripcad's grief and indignation at being betrayed was quite moving. In such an atmosphere, the golden retriever on the old man's head looked a little low.
"Don't talk nonsense with people like that, Lord Tripcard." The wand in Sefir's hand glowed red, making her look particularly dangerous.
Of course, beauties pay attention to their image at all times. Even in anger, he showed his beauty very well, and even could see a little trace of active concave shape.
Just a little, of course. Luke felt that he could ignore this.
"I'm ashamed of your betrayal." Sefir looked at Stewart disdainfully, "A lot of people have told me that Stuart is a family full of honors, and your contributions to the entire North American wizarding world are obvious to all. But today, you have lost all the glory of your ancestors!"
"They didn't succumb to the head of the Gaunt family back then, but today you've succumbed to a mob of unknown people!" ….
Her righteousness and strictness make people feel that she really stands on the moral high ground.
Baxter Envi, on the other hand, looked annoyed and gloomy.
"I'm not like the two of them, Stewart. I didn't trust you from the beginning." Baxter Envi said with pity, "But because your joining has no substantial impact on me, I didn't stop it. But my instincts always made me feel that something was wrong. When you approached this ballroom today, I felt my sense of crisis in my context."
"I kept an eye on you as closely as I could, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, I have to say that you are really a good person."
And after saying this, his tone suddenly became angry and hateful.
"But you bastard is resentful of my teasing of you? You bastard actually killed most of the family loyal to me, you will definitely die today, bastard, I said, Merlin's rebirth can't keep you!"
Such annoyance and resentment do not seem to be fake. It looks like his losses are really heavy.
What else could Stewart do in the face of such accusations? He couldn't even defend himself. Because someone didn't look like they heard his voice, they silently sealed his mouth.
Damn it. This is not a trial that can be justified.
Stewart didn't know what went wrong, but now it seems that even if he was very careful, he ended up falling for someone else's way. Let others be used as a gun in their hands.
His mind began to spin rapidly, but he couldn't think of anything good to do. After all, the wands in the hands of the other three have already lit up, and they are ready to kill Stewart and make him a dead Stewart
。
He saw Luke, and gave him a pleading look.
He was praying to the distant relative in front of him to save him. Though he did something wrong. And the reason for doing the wrong thing is still jealousy of the distant relative in front of him. He had to admit that it was a very bad thing.
But blood between them is thicker than water!
They are real relatives!
As if sensing Stewart's gaze, the three people who were about to carry out the trial did not act immediately, they seemed to be waiting for Luke's opinion, which was a sign of respect for Luke.
Such treatment is obviously still shocking and jealous, but it may not be possible for many people to see it after all.
Naturally, Luke noticed Stewart's gaze, was he angry? Of course anger. You must know that although he himself has no actual damage, others have offended him by riding in the face like this. It also made him feel very unhappy.
"I'd like to ask...... Luke's voice sounded faintly, keeping everyone's eyes on him, and his tone itself didn't give the impression that he would intercede for Stewart, "even though Pat Stewart is a bastard who wants to hurt me. I don't have any problem with you carrying out your own discipline, but I have to ask." ….
"The Stewart family, is there still a bloodline to inherit after Pat Stewart's death?"
As soon as this question came out, the three people over there breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, such a question did not make them too difficult. But obviously, it's not a great question either. The situation they most wanted to see didn't happen.
The others felt a little weird, but Seffir Skye did feel a little weird, and she didn't spend much time with Luke. But every choice Luke made was basically not the best she expected, but it was often not the worst he expected.
This made her regret at the same time, but at the same time, she felt that these were not unacceptable. And if you put yourself in your shoes, such a choice is often beneficial to Luke, but it is not the most advantageous.
What the hell was Luke thinking? Seiffel Skye himself couldn't figure it out.
"Yes." Tripcad told Luke very clearly, "He has a son of his own. That kid can carry on the Stewart family's bloodline."
Wizard families tend to be sparsely populated. Six generations of single transmission, seven generations of single transmission abound in the wizarding world. A couple can have two children, which can already be regarded as the blessing of the ancestors.
So this kind of news still made Luke look at Stewart in front of him in surprise. This guy with a child is still hungry for other women's bodies. But to say that this guy can toss a child at this age, then in a sense, this is also a talent among wizards!
When Stewart heard this, he knew that his time was near, and he began to struggle desperately, but unfortunately, it was all useless after all.
"In view of your betrayal of us. You will be killed here by us. Given that you have done a good job of the referral task, the conditions that were promised to you will continue to be fulfilled. At the request of Lord Gaunt, your child will survive and become the next head of the family."
Tripcard announced their trial with such a light stroke. But they can't kill this person right away here. They had already agreed on the verdict. But the process of trial still has to go.
Being able to go through this process itself means that the Stewart family is officially included in the ranks of the nobility.
Although their ancestors, in addition to the lady with ancient blood, there is also a Maji ancestor who contains wisdom. Of course, from now on, that ancestor is no longer a no-maj, but a pathetic squib.
"Their judgment is really simple and arrogant."
Luke whispered in Dumbledore's ear mercilessly. It can also be seen that the relative independence of the aristocracy has reached a considerable degree in the territory of the United States. They can decide the life and death of such a person of considerable status and status through their own judgment.
And the Magic Congress doesn't even have room for a beak.
"We're still playing within the framework set by the Ministry of Magic, but the American aristocracy just started anew. It's incredible that they haven't started a large-scale struggle yet!"
Luke marveled at the scene. Dumbledore shook his head slightly. ….
He was a little sorry. The one in front of you can be regarded as more or less a person in the field of education. As half of his peers, Dumbledore still felt sorry for him.
"Now you can enjoy the ownership of that part of the Yinfalmorny with peace of mind."
Dumbledore asked, "Will Falmorny be one of your layouts as well?"
"I've got to think about how to make it work the most." Luke blinked, "I've been in danger twice, and I've almost lost my lovely little life once. But so far, I have gained a lot of things, such as the position of the school manager."
"And the love of two women? Didn't I say, Luke, maybe you really should have restrained? You're still a kid...... It's too early for you to get into this kind of stuff."
"I'm not skeptical that you can restrain your desires, but you must know that women who like you at your age are generally mentally flawed except for your peers. I'm afraid they won't be able to control themselves."
Dumbledore was worried, but his tone was full of ridicule and banter. He was an old man and a wise man. Although there are some things that he has not seen clearly because of the position he has been in, it does not mean that he does not understand anything.
He can see Luke's yearning for a mature big sister and the yearning for the little Lori around him. But Luke was able to control his desires. After all, not everyone will succumb to their inner beast.
But the girls around Luke, at his age, even if it were Sephir Skye were simple little girls in his mouth. The girls around Luke wanted to possess him one by one. At the very least, he should leave his own mark on his body, which can discourage others and be used to declare ***.
This means that Luke's situation is not safe. At least his chastity is not safe.
"Professor," Luke looked at Dumbledore with a look of disdain and a bit of novelty, "I didn't know you were such a nasty person."
Although he said the word 'obscene,' Dumbledore didn't hear any derogatory meaning from Luke's mouth. So he happily accepted the assessment.
"But anyway, you came to call me 'men and women, dealing with emotional entanglements, I think this should be outside the scope of your knowledge." Luke looked Dumbledore up and down, and then he watched as Dumbledore's face became more and more ugly. Then he gave himself a smug smile.
The interaction between the two of them has never been hidden from the three people who watched all this from the side. Although they have to pay a certain amount of attention to the people under their men to imprison Stewart. But it doesn't delay.
"Looks like these two guys are on a much better relationship than we've investigated."
Baxter Envi said with some trepidation. Again, although Luke is difficult to deal with, he is a child after all. But if Dumbledore had been around him, things would have been completely different. This means that the old man is really standing behind Luke Gaunt, then a lot of intrigue will dissipate invisibility. ….
Ran from England to France and then to the United States only three assassinations? Think of something good!
"That's normal, even though Luke Gaunt is a figure with a face in the small organization formed by the heir of the Malfoy family, but let's not say if it's a child's play. The mere fact that he wasn't a leader didn't make Dumbledore too hostile to him."
Sefir nodded and said so, but obviously, what she said could not be said in a single word, only completely distorted.
Tripcad didn't say anything, he had expected the situation in front of him. It's different from the two young people behind him. As an old man, Tripcard was able to see Dumbled
When he looked at Luke, there was a trace of love in his eyes. That's the love of the elders for the younger generations.
But it doesn't matter what they want to do. After all, all they have to do is make a simple request.
The chips were already ready.
So he strode in the direction where Luke Gaunt was, and even Tripcad's face took on a hint of solemnity.
"Graunt, I'm sorry to frighten you." Tripkad sincerely apologized to Luke, "The main reason for this kind of thing today is my review mistakes and poor supervision. I'll take responsibility for my mistakes."
Luke smiled with satisfaction, "I believe in Lord Tripcard's responsibility, but I beg your pardon, tonight's incident is still too exciting for a child after all. So if you don't have anything else to do, then I'm going to go back to sleep and slow down the tension."
Dumbledore listened to the conversation between the two men, shook his head helplessly, and then walked to the other place with his wine glass. One of these two guys said that he would compensate, and the other said that the compensation was not enough, and you had to add more money, otherwise I would go first. Such a conversation was really boring for Dumbledore.
These aristocrats will always wrap themselves up in a variety of ways. No matter how disgusting words come out of their mouths, they can have the beauty of a sonnet.
Therefore, being a nobleman is not only a technical job, but also a technical job itself.
Eating and waiting to die? That's fine, as long as you can recognize the spirit of 'when I die, no matter how big the flood is.'"
Neither of them cared about Dumbledore's departure, and they were even happy for Dumbledore to leave. After all, it was a bit too exciting for the nobles to discuss dirty deals between nobles in front of a powerful person who was neutral in every sense of the word, and had the strength to keep himself neutral.
"Oh, you're right, you really deserve to rest, but unfortunately I didn't tell you one thing just now." Tripcard looked regretful, as if it really was, "The Stewart family does have another descendant. But unfortunately, this little princess is half a year old this year. She was still a little far from being able to take on the responsibilities of a family. But the Yin Falmorny Academy of Magic is the most important talent training base in the United States, and it is a bit too much to have a half-year-old girl as the chief school director." ….
"Ah! Master Tripcard! You didn't tell me such an important thing." Luke had a headache on his face, and then after thinking for a moment, he said helplessly, "Sorry, then I'm afraid we can only let Pat Stewart take the blame." Although he is a scumbag who wants to trap us. But he's also a qualified school manager."
After listening to Luke's words, Tripcard silently shook his head and said, "I don't think so, Lord Gaunt, you have to understand that a person who has betrayed once but has not received any punishment will not hesitate to choose to betray a second time. I am a timid person, and I will never let someone who has betrayed me get a second chance to betray me."
When he said this, although he showed kindness, no one would be so stupid that he couldn't hear it with a strong killing intent. It can be seen that if Luke insists on keeping Stewart tonight, of course he can still keep it, but he will inevitably lose all the good relations with Tripcard. Tripcard has never been a kind person.
Expect him to be merciful and merciful to let go of those who have offended him, what kind of spring and autumn dreams?
"Then I'll listen to you. But you know, it's not something we say it's going to be."
Luke shook his head with a little regret, what he said was also true, the position of chief school director, he had no problem inheriting his share, but if he wanted to inherit the remaining part, he had to get the support of some other people.
"We'll do our best to help those who deserve this position get it."
"Maintaining stability is in itself the duty of our nobles."
It can only be said that his shameless aura makes Luke feel powerful in the true sense.
is worthy of being able to mix well in the aristocratic circles of the world. If he gives him a chance to truly enter the circle of ancient nobles, he may really be able to seize it.
Of course, the process that should be, such as recognizing the new ancestor and other things, is estimated to have known for a long time, and he has already been mentally prepared.
"Good! Master Tripcard's sense of responsibility is truly emotional! How can I not help such a person?"
Luke held out his hand, and Tripcard's large hand shook it without hesitation.
Both of them know that there will be considerable opportunities in the future, and of course, there will be no less troubles at all.

"Oh roar, Merlin's beard! What is the little guy in the Gaunt family up to? How could he suddenly get involved with the nouveau riche Tripcard. Isn't he short of money?"
An old woman looked at the group of people in front of her, and the sarcasm on her face was undisguised.
"That's who you value? Have fun with a bunch of nouveau riche?"
And the nobles around her, led by Lucius, fell silent. Of course, their silence was not really ashamed of Luke's behavior, and such a thing caused a little confusion to them at best. This confusion is not worth mentioning to them. ….
"Luke must have a point." Ollivander glanced helplessly at the somewhat crazy old lady. He knew that the old lady was dissatisfied with the group of people in front of her. Because her child was just tossed crazy by a few crumbs in this group of guys.
It can only be said that the infighting back then still left indelible damage among them after all. If you want to make up for such damage, there is a high probability that you will have to wait until the next generation, or even the next generation. But if there is a deliberate obstruction, the devil knows when it will be restored.
Mrs. Longbottom looked at the group of fellows in front of her and sneered, "You've got you off to a good start. You can see that people really care about your living conditions, and now it's up to you to accept their kindness."
With that, she got up and prepared to go out, but when she walked out, she finally stopped.
"I want to see if you're succumbing to reality. Or stick to your own character."
Leaving these words on the ground, the able old lady just walked out and glanced at the group of guys behind her.
Ollivander watched Mrs. Longbottom leave, looked at the group in front of him, except for the Wesley family, the rest of the family basically came, and said seriously: "I actually have no prejudice against this, but you also know that our family is indeed not short of money, if you need my help, just ask. I'm going to keep in touch with a family of American aristocrats. Oh, and to be honest, we've always been in touch, after all, they're also a master staff family."
After finishing his speech, the old man also chose to leave in a hurry. He knew that everyone in the current group would scoff at Luke's approach. Then a large number of people will choose to go home after the scolding and establish a deeper cooperative relationship with an American family that is already connected. And the rest of the small part will stick to themselves.
As for the end of that small group of people? So who knows? It has nothing to do with him as an old man.
As he walked out, he touched his goatee and a big smile appeared on his face.
"Now I can talk to the old thing about the ownership of the Special Wand Flow Loop 15. Oh, I think Tripcard will help me make that happen!"
His voice wasn't deliberately lowered. Voice: Everyone present should be able to hear what he said. At the same time, his words are bound to have an impact on some people.
It's a whole new world, accept it or rebel.
……………………
"What the hell do you want to do?!"
Baxter Envi looked at the old man in white in front of him, his expression extremely angry.
"You killed all my people, even if you want me to ask for suspicion, the price is too heavy!"
Baxter Envi's dissatisfaction with the man in front of him was already written on his face. Those people were all won over by him with great difficulty, and now, let this guy do this, for no reason, there are many more variables.
Who knows if the next guy will support him after the death of the current head of the family, and it's hard to say whether they still have it.
"Only in this way can you truly get rid of suspicion."
The old man in white looked at Baxter Envi like an angry lion, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. Just smiling.
"you off suspicion!" Baxter Envi is not stupid, and he can clearly sense that there is more weirdness behind this matter. Maybe it's not even for his good.
"Calm down, Envy." The old man in white smiled and said, "I can guarantee that they will support you."
As he spoke, the smile on his face became more mysterious.
Baxter Envi looked at his expression and let out a sigh of relief, but it didn't look relaxed.
"Their inheritance. I want seventy percent."
Baxter Envi sat in his chair and gestured with a 'seven'.
I don't update
