Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 547 Voldemort’s Gift

Somewhere on the seaside in eastern England, raging waves crashed on the cliffs on the shore, and low dark clouds seemed to be about to press on the sea. A dark and broken lighthouse stood on the edge of the cliff.

Many tourists who drove along the seaside road decided to explore and visit the lighthouse when they saw this post-modern Gothic style lighthouse in the distance. But when they approached the lighthouse, they unknowingly forgot all the information about the lighthouse not far away, and left here with one step of the accelerator.

A figure wearing a black traveling cloak appeared out of thin air on the side of the road with a pop. He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, muttered something about the bad weather, and then walked forward along the path leading to the lighthouse.

Unlike those people who could not reach the lighthouse, today's visitors walked forward step by step on the wet and muddy path. If anyone nearby looked carefully, they would find that the shoes on the visitors' feet were in the mud. It didn't pick up any stains while walking on the road.

When the visitor was still quite far away from the lighthouse, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and a huge manor built on the edge of the cliff appeared in front of him. Looking past the wall of holly trees, the visitor saw the roof of a splendid building.

At this moment, the gate of the manor opened, and an old wizard stood behind the gate to greet the visitors. He wore a well-tailored robe, and the white hair on his head was meticulously combed. The green eyes in his deep-set eye sockets were full of excitement and a trace of anxiety.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Minister." The owner of the manor greeted the visitor.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Mr. Smith." Lucius Malfoy responded to the owner of the manor.

Malfoy was a little surprised that the owner of the manor came out to greet him in person. Generally, the butlers took part in such greetings. It was rare for the owner to come to the gate to greet him in person, unless the Dark Lord himself was visiting.

Regarding the warm reception of the manor owner, Malfoy had some suspicions in his heart.

After a brief greeting, Smith led Malfoy towards the main building in the middle of the manor.

In front of the main building in the manor is a huge garden filled with various ornamental herbs. From Malfoy's experience, he could tell that in this carefully designed garden, as the seasons change throughout the year, different herbs take turns to bloom, bear fruit, and change color on their leaves, presenting different landscapes.

When the two of them were halfway there, Smith asked Malfoy: "Mr. Malfoy, how do you think my garden compares with the garden of your Malfoy Manor?"

"Sure enough!" Malfoy secretly sighed in his heart. After his family's Majiazhuang, once known as the "No. 1 Manor in Great Britain", was burned down, the Shijiazhuang, which was originally ranked second, climbed to the first place by stepping on the devastated Majiazhuang. Location. How could Smith, who had been the "second child" for so many years, let go of this opportunity to be proud.

It's just that the Malfoy family, whose family has fallen into decline, will not be able to restore Majia Village to its former glory in the near future. It's good that they don't plant vegetables in the garden to reduce expenses.

Along the way, Smith kept asking Malfoy for advice on the layout of the manor, showing off to this old enemy who had suppressed him for many years.

Lao Ma was not the kind of young man who only wanted to compete for a moment's glory, so he followed the other party's words and began to praise Shijiazhuang.

The two of them stopped talking about business until they arrived at the reception room of the main building of Shijiazhuang.

"Welcome to our Minister of Magic."

The guests who had been waiting in the living room for a long time stood up to welcome Malfoy's arrival.

Malfoy, who had already taken off his cloak in the foyer, was also dressed meticulously today. In this kind of formal meeting with the heads of various family clans, a person's dress represents his attitude towards the party and the people in the gathering.

If Voldemort sent Snape to such a party,

I would definitely put his head in the sink and wash it for half an hour before talking.

Malfoy looked around the people in the living room and found that the Wellcome family, the largest potion manufacturer in the UK, and the family patriarchs represented by the Smith family, who are engaged in herbal cultivation and sales, were all present. The British broomstick native Ninety percent of the manufacturers came from families engaged in handicrafts, such as the patriarch of the Bentley family, the largest shareholder. The remaining few people were princes in their respective fields of industry and commerce such as crucibles, clothing, and catering.

It can be said that these people in the drawing room now control the vast majority of the production share of domestic products in the British magical society except wands.

The Malfoy family used to operate as an agent for wholesale sales of food in the magical world.

After the greetings, everyone took their seats. Malfoy first took out a stack of black-covered books. He took out his wand and touched the books, and the books automatically flew in front of everyone.

"First of all, on behalf of my master, the great Dark Lord, I would like to give you a gift." Malfoy said to everyone.

Smith was the first to take the book floating in front of him, and was startled when he saw the author's name on the cover.

Smith asked cautiously: "Mr. Malfoy, is this book really written by Salazar Slytherin?"

"That's right." Malfoy nodded slightly and said, "As the descendant of Slytherin, His Excellency the Dark Lord naturally owns Slytherin's works. In order to show his sincerity in cooperating with you, my master has specially selected some of them. Slytherin's work is presented to you as a gift."

For a magic family, the most precious thing is always all kinds of magic knowledge.

Although the magical knowledge recorded in Slytherin's books is from thousands of years ago, this knowledge is the foundation of various magical knowledge developed on top of it in the following thousands of years. If you master this knowledge, you will continue to innovate just like Gree who has mastered the core technology.

And this "core technology" is often a secret that is not passed down within each family, and is the foundation of a family's foothold in the magical world.

Stones from other hills, can learn. After the various families here gain this knowledge from Slytherin, they can lay a solid foundation for their respective families.

Now that Voldemort had given such a big gift all at once, the bosses of each family, who knew well that "when giving a gift to others, you must ask for something" had to treat today's gathering more carefully.

At that time, Mr. Zhang opened up the situation in one fell swoop by relying on the exchange of knowledge between the East and the West, so that almost all the not-stubborn families accepted his affection and turned a blind eye to some of his actions.

Now, in order to completely pull these families onto his chariot, Voldemort also used his old skills to win people's hearts.

After all, Slytherin's knowledge and their knowledge are within the same system, and their effect on them is far greater than knowledge from another system.

But if everyone here knew that all the Slytherin books in Voldemort's hands came from Zhangjialou, I wonder if they would attribute this favor to Zhang.

After flipping through a few pages of the book, Bentley immediately put it away, and then asked Malfoy: "Please, Mr. Malfoy, convey the gratitude and respect from the Bentley family to Mr. Dark Lord on my behalf. What do we have?" Is there anything I can do for His Excellency the Dark Lord?"
