LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 26 Visit
Early the next morning, Solim got up and started to prepare things—in the afternoon, he and Elrond would go to the Orvis family to see a small squib. If the squib can use magic power, Solim and Elrond It will solve the matter of Sierna.
If there is a squib in the family of pure blood wizards, it should be well hidden, lest outsiders find out, after all, in the eyes of pure blood wizards, it is very shameful to have a squib in the family.
I am very satisfied with finding three potential squibs Solim. Of course, if it is to be on the safe side, after the success of the Orvis family, let them promote it, so that there may be one or two more "experimental products". But my younger sister couldn't afford to wait anymore. She was already ten years old this year, and she will be at the age of going to school next year. If Sirna can't become a wizard before she is eleven years old, then her future fate will be difficult to say.
No matter what magic school it is, it does not accept admission after the age of eleven. These schools can accept transfer students from other schools, but they will not accept new students who are older than eleven years old.
There are too many wizards in the wizarding world who have not attended formal schools. Only little wizards who awaken their magic power before the age of eleven are worthy of being cultivated.
Take a look at Knockturn Alley, those down-and-out wizards are mostly wizards who have not received formal school education. Their magic awakened too late, they are over eleven years old, and the school does not accept them. Wizards who have not received formal education, they Knowledge is unsystematic. They can only grope and learn by themselves, while doing some shameless dirty work to obtain resources to continue their wizarding path.
These wizards who have not received formal education, their abilities are not comprehensive - most of these wizards can't even do simple transformation, because transformation can be said to require the most systematic learning in magic, They do not have this condition. Most of such wizards can only roll around in potions and herbs, and some even don’t even have wands—only regular wizards can buy wands, and these wizards who have not registered with the Ministry of Magic can only live in the dark corners of the wizarding world— — Places like Knockturn Alley.
Solim didn't want Sirna to live like that in the future. Although Sirna was a serious Selwyn, for pure-blood wizards, Squibs were even more annoying than Muggles. The attitude towards the squibs is mostly indifferent, and some extreme families will even kill the squibs in the family to maintain the so-called "glory".
Sierna's affairs can't be delayed, either become a wizard, or live as an ordinary person, far away from everything she is familiar with. Even if the medicine has no effect on Sirna, she can only be an ordinary person in the end, and I believe Grandpa will not ignore her. Although Snape's series of potions have been completed, and the effects have been shown by Filch, it is completely unknown whether it is suitable for Sirna and whether it will be effective for his sister.
Putting aside the matter of Sirna, if the visit of the Orvis family goes well this time, it will be very beneficial to Solim. At that time, various families will contact him one after another, please ask him Solving the squib problem in their respective families will undoubtedly bring Solim a lot of connections, and Solim will also gain a lot of favors. In this way, if some people or families want to move him, they have to weigh it carefully.
The Orvis family is also an ancient pure-blood family. Their herbal medicine plantation is very famous in the industry. As long as they are masters of potions, they cannot avoid the Orvis family. After all, the production of precious potion materials in their plantations is the largest. If this trip could help that little Squib become a wizard, it would be a great start for Solim.
After a hasty meal at noon, Elrond set off with Solim.
Here is one point: a family like Selwyn would not use the Floo Network. The first reason is because the Floo Network is under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic by the Council of Elders. Once the Floo Network is connected, the position of the Selwyn family is equivalent to being exposed to the Ministry of Magic, so people like Selwyn and Orvis Such a family would not be connected to the Floo network like ordinary wizarding families. The second reason is because of the security of the Floo network. Once the Floo network is connected at home, for a skilled wizard, they can come whenever they want, regardless of whether you have unilaterally closed it or not. People outside could come in and out of the fireplace at any time, which was absolutely unbearable for an ancient pure-blood family.
Cornwall Peninsula, here can be said to be the southernmost tip of the entire country of Ying. North of Plymouth, Dartmoor National Park hides the estate of the Orvis family and three plantations. This is a paradise for hikers Of course, they can't get close to the place where wizards live. It can be said that in Cornwall, where the climate is most suitable for planting herbs, the Orvis family is the master here, and they send a large amount of mature herbs to the whole of Europe every year. Herbs - not just British. And there are their plantations all over Europe, but the manor in Dartmoor is their ancestral home, and people with status and status in the family usually live here.
Walking in the magnificent scenery of Dartmoor Public Park, Solim's original restless mood could not help but also open up. He was thinking about building a house of his own sometime. If he didn't return to Selwyn Castle, Solim would have nowhere to live except in the Leaky Cauldron.
It's just... he was short of cash. Although Solim did have some savings, he could buy some potion materials with this money. If he really wanted to build a house, it would be ridiculous. Just like in a certain country after the millennium, young people grit their teeth and buy a car to make ends meet, but want to buy a house? Hmph, you can't even afford it if your teeth are broken.
And the wizarding world doesn't say that if you want to build a house, you can find a piece of land by yourself, and you can build it with some stones and wood. This needs to be approved by the Ministry of Magic, and the local situation needs to be investigated: whether Muggles are densely populated, whether there is a risk of exposing the wizarding world, how big the house is to be built, and what materials to use. Approved, you can build your own house. Building a house without the approval of the Ministry of Magic is an illegal building. Not only will it be demolished, but you will also be fined, and you may even have to go to Azkaban for a few days.
Even if the approval is approved, you still have to pay a large sum of Galleons to the Ministry of Magic for the land. Don't say that it is inaccessible and uninhabited. Even if you build a house in the desert, you still have to pay for it—if Ying has deserts.
"It's here, it's just ahead." Elrond gestured to the side.
Solim looked at the huge rock in front of him and asked, "Go in?"
Elrond slammed into the rocks - and he was gone. Solim shrugged, and walked towards the rock in a learned manner.
"Isn't this the same as platform nine and three quarters?" Solim complained.
The greening work of Orvis Manor is quite good, presumably their elves are very good at trimming these flowers and plants. On the left side in front of the gate, Solim even saw a ghost tree - a wand made of ghost wood is best at using soul magic, but if you use a ghost wood wand to release white magic like the Patronus Charm , and you're done. As for why Solim knows about ghost trees, of course Schuyler has taught him well, ghost trees are the kind of plants that must never be burned with fire——ghost trees emit a smell after burning, and people will smell them when they smell them. To become a ghost, to put it bluntly, means to die.
Is it appropriate to just plant such a dangerous plant at the gate?
"Don't you understand?" Elrond knew what Solim was thinking when he saw him.
"Don't think about it, you will be surprised when you go in later."
At this time, an old man in a red wizard robe came out of the gate.
"Old man, you're going to be late, come in quickly, don't whimper." Although Solim was a little far away, Solim couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but as soon as he heard the voice, Solim knew who was coming - Jill Wes, a wizard who likes to chat with Elrond.
Elrond snorted, took Solim and walked towards the gate, while walking, he also explained to Solim: "Remember, when you go in later, no matter who asks you about the situation of the medicine, you can go to my Push yourself, don't bring the professors in your school into it, Jill knows the situation, but the others don't, so don't let it slip."
Solim did not turn the corner for a moment at Elrond's words.
"Idiot!" Elrond cursed in a low voice, "If other people know that the potion belongs to Snape, what will happen to you?"
With this sentence, Solim figured it out.
If the potion is successful, it means that certain Squibs in special circumstances can become wizards, which also means that the families of these Squibs will owe a favor to Solim or Elrond. Snape, what about Solim? Favors and benefits have become Snape's, although Snape doesn't necessarily care about it.
But having said that, this thing is really not very authentic. But Solim really needs the favor and relationship of these pure-blood families now, at worst, he should be compensated with some potion ingredients in the future, or give him a few potion formulas.
When Solim saw the tree in the middle of the courtyard, he couldn't walk. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in an expression of extreme astonishment.
"Hahaha, let me just say, every wizard who comes to the ancestral home for the first time can't avoid this." Gilvez looked at Solim with joy.
"Boy! You're back!" Elrond was not happy to see Solim lose his composure in front of Gilvez. "Isn't it just a broken tree, what's so rare."
"Fart!" Gilvez on the side was furious when he heard this, "Don't forget what kind of virtue you were when you saw it for the first time! If I hadn't stopped you, you would have chopped it up and taken it away."
It's really snakewood, Solim did recognize this extremely precious tree: the famous snakewood, Slytherin's staff is made of snakewood. Snakewood can be used in many fields, whether it is potions or alchemy, it can be used. However, the most common method of snake wood is to make it into a magic tool: magic wand or stave.
"I really want it!" Solim was tempted, and all wizards who knew the role of snakewood were not tempted. A spell-casting tool made of snake wood has no upper limit of magic power when casting a spell. Meaning, you can even use all your magic power to cast a stun spell. You must know that most wands have an upper limit of the magic power they can withstand. You can only use so much magic power when you release a stun spell. No matter how much magic power is injected into the wand, it will only be that kind of power in the end. But the snake wood is different. At present, the upper limit of the magic power of the snake wood has not been found. Maybe the magic power level of human wizards has not touched the upper limit of the magic power that the snake wood itself can carry. With a snakewood wand, you can even kill people with a single stun spell—provided, of course, that your magic power is very strong.
"Boy, if you can solve the matter of little Fletcher, it doesn't matter if I give you a piece of snake wood." Jilves said with a smile on the side.
"Hey, just the two of us, you just give one?" Elrond squinted at Gilvez, "Fortunately, you are still the current head of the house, so stingy, it seems that the Orvis family will be like this in the future."
"Fart!" Jilves was too much to be ridiculed, "I don't know what you are paying attention to? If it really works, I will give you one for each of you. Stop talking nonsense. Let's talk about it when it is done. If the time comes, it will be a waste of time." Field... hum..." Gilvez sneered.
"Okay, boy, come in quickly," Elrond greeted Solim who was still staring at the snake wood, "get your work done first, and you can look at it as you want."
