Chapter 9: Rumors
"Who are you? Why eavesdrop on our conversations? ”
Looking at the two young men in their twenties in front of him with a wary look on their faces, they drew their wands and pointed them at themselves, Rosie explained apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just happened to catch up."
That's right, it's all a pot of game planning, and it's obviously for me to understand the plot in this way.
muttered silently in her heart, and seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, she smiled again and explained softly:
"I'm here to find Christina, and we've made an appointment."
"Looking for the eldest lady?"
Valen, who was more burly, looked at Rosie, and seemed to see that she had no ill intentions, "Hmm...... Please wait a minute. ”
He turned to his companion and said, "Ryan, you go and report to the eldest lady." ”
"Why me again?"
Ryan muttered, but turned and walked into the manor.
When he walked away, Valen showed a standard smile on his face: "I'm sorry, miss, because of that rumor, there are too many idle people who have come to the manor to inquire about the news recently, so we have to pay more attention." ”
"It's nothing, it's right to be cautious in this situation."
Looking at his shiny eight teeth, Rosie couldn't help but smile lightly and asked, "What kind of rumor is it?" Can you tell me more about that? ”
"You don't know?"
Valen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then you must not have read the last few episodes of "Singing Contrarians". ”
"Singing Against the Tune", a magazine in the wizarding world, is not well-known among players because the information published in it is never accurate.
"It's true that I'm not very interested in the lace news and bizarre fictional stories of those celebrities." Rosie nodded.
"What a sensible view!"
Valen smiled and exclaimed, "If only other wizards had seen what was posted in it the same way you do." ”
After a pause, he continued: "In the twenty-second issue of Contradiction, an anonymous wizard published a rumor that the patriarch of House Wilson possessed an unused Philosopher's Stone with enough magic power to repair a broken Elder Wand......"
After waiting for a while, seeing that he still didn't say anything, Rosie couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What about next?" ”
"No, that's all there is to it."
Valen spread his hands, "Although there is only one sentence, those fool wizards believe it very much, and what else they say, the fewer words there are, the more true it seems. ”
"But that's clearly unreasonable."
Rossi was even more puzzled in his heart, "If there is really only such a sentence with no factual basis, it is impossible for so many people to believe it, right?" ”
"Probably, that's the point."
Valen smiled bitterly, "I heard that during this time, the remnants of the Saints Order have been frantically searching for a way to mend the Elder Wand. ”
Forehead...... You know that too?
Perhaps seeing the doubt in Rossi's eyes, Valen sighed and added:
"We know this because the remnants of the saints have gone to a point of madness in search of a way to mend the Elder Wand."
"They seem to have pinned all their hopes for a resurgence on the Elder Wand, and suddenly it was as if they were no longer hiding and were not afraid of being exposed."
Just then, Christina's voice came from within the wall: "Don't worry, it's just the last madness before they die." ”
She walked briskly through the doorway, still wearing the same knee-length dress in gold and red.
"Rosie, you're so pretty!"
The moment she saw Rosie, she said with enthusiasm in her tone, "Don't talk about these annoying topics, you didn't eat breakfast, did you?" Let's go eat something delicious! ”
As she spoke, her slender arm wrapped around Rosie's arm and walked happily towards the manor.
"Christina, but I'm not hungry."
Looking at the hunger level in a full state, Rosie hurriedly politely refused.
"Is that so?"
Christina thought for a moment, "Then let's walk around the manor first, and then go to eat when we have digested it, don't worry, it's definitely delicious food, I made it myself!" ”
It's not so fast to digest!
Looking at Christina beside her with a smile, Rosie asked tentatively, "Christina, the gift you said you were going to give me wouldn't be a meal you made yourself, right?" ”
Hearing her question, Christina paused in surprise: "You actually guessed?" ”
That doesn't seem like a hard guess......
Muttering in his heart, Rosie joked: "After all, my profession is an Auror, and the food you cook by yourself is a gift for me!" ”
"That's true."
Christina nodded with a serious expression.
After a pause, the two of them, who couldn't hold back their laughter, laughed like silver bells.
Wilson's estate is built on a steep hillside, and the overall architecture is more in the style of East Francian architecture.
The manor is approximately square in shape, with three terraces, the top and bottom floors of which are twenty meters high.
Following Christina, enter the manor through the gate on the ground floor, and you will see a circular fountain.
From both sides of the fountain are lively greenery and trees.
"This level is divided into eight sections, with four green plants in the middle and four groves on both sides."
Seeing that Rossi seemed to be very interested in the manor, Christina smiled and introduced, "In fact, the best viewing position for this manor is the rooftop in front of the main house on the top floor, when the weather is clear, you can not only overlook the entire manor, but even the scene of McRum Village." ”
It's a pure-blooded family, and even the place where I live is something I can't even think of......
Looking left and right, Rosie felt like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, and she was dazzled.
Walking up the stone steps to the top platform, looking at the verdant scenery and the gentle and intoxicating spring breeze, Rosie felt a little more comfortable.
"Christina, shall we take a picture?"
Indulging in the beautiful scenery, she suddenly thought of taking a commemorative photo, so she took out her magic camera and asked with great interest.
"Okay!"
Christina smiled and nodded, "But doesn't this camera need to be operated by someone?" How do we take a picture together? ”
"Don't worry, I have a solution!"
From the system, turn the magic camera into a third-person view, then wrap your right hand around Christina's waist and raise it high with your left hand.
Being able to take photos from a third-person perspective is a bonus for players!
"Smack!"
With a flash of white light, two magical photographs spat out of the camera.
In the photo, the two are intimately leaning together, with happy smiles on their faces.
