Harry Potter Hello Dark Lord
Chapter 12 The Temptation Before the Banquet
Just because he had to attend the banquet in the evening, Qin Weijie had thoroughly experienced the cumbersome preparations for the banquet of the British nobles and gentlemen.
At ten o'clock in the morning, two etiquette teachers broke into the study room. Under Qin Weijie's repeated objections, they forcibly dragged him away from the desk and began the brutal etiquette study.
"Mr. Welfare, your back must be straight and you must not lean on the back of the chair..."
Then tell me, what is the back of the chair used for?
"Mr. Welfare, don't lean down when eating...and don't pick up the plate..."
In addition, he had almost eaten for more than thirty years in his previous life. Today, he was told that he could not eat. The area of Qin Weijie's psychological shadow doubled.
"Mr. Foley, you are holding the cane wrong..."
"Mr. Foley, your hat is crooked..."
"Mr. Foley, you need to keep smiling..."
Where is my wand? Where is my wand!? I must treat these two etiquette teachers to have a bite!!!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Weijie was exhausted.
Mrs. Carter finally informed him that he could take a rest and go try on clothes.
Qin Weijie thought it would be easier, but in the end he was slapped hard in the face.
Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about one piece of data.
In the next two hours, Qin Weijie changed into nearly a hundred sets of suits, all of which looked the same as party suits. It took him an average of one and a half minutes to change one suit.
I asked you to change clothes for two hours, and then asked you if you felt comfortable? Qin Weijie swore that he might never want to wear clothes again in his life. It was so good to be naked and still be able to walk around.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a carriage stopped at the gate of Welfare Manor. It was here to take Qin Weijie to Welfare Castle.
In fact, calling it a carriage may be an insult to the car, because the people pulling the carriage are all unicorns, or unicorns with wings.
A watery white unicorn with a streamlined and well-proportioned body. Each one is about the same size. There are eight such magical creatures in total, and these are just for pulling carts.
The carriage was even more ridiculous. The body was carved from white marble, with gold-plated edges (Qin Weijie later learned that it was all pure gold). The wheels were also inlaid with gems. The side of the carriage also had a golden lion inlaid with gold on the white marble.
relief.
I heard that the golden lion is the emblem of the Foley family, symbolizing the wealth of the Foley family.
Qin Weijie firmly believes that this symbol is not the wealth of the Welfare family, but the prodigality of the Welfare family.
The interior of the carriage is even more luxurious. The seemingly small carriage actually has a space of nearly 300 square meters inside.
The entire interior of the carriage was covered with soft carpets. Although he didn't know what material they were made of, Qin Weijie knew that they were definitely solid wood furniture and expensive sofas.
What's even more ridiculous is that there is a wine cabinet four or five meters high placed in it.
…
At half past five, we officially set off. Eight winged unicorns soared into the sky. The carriage took off without any bumps and flew toward the southeast.
The carriage traveled very fast, and after a flight of less than twenty minutes, Qin Weijie finally arrived at Welfare Castle.
Welfare Castle is located in a forest near Southampton. It is protected by magic and is invisible to Muggles. This is similar to Hogwarts.
Although he has not seen Hogwarts yet, Qin Weijie asserts that Welfare Castle and Hogwarts are at least about the same size.
Welfare Castle is a typical Gothic-style castle, with towering spiers and tall buildings reaching into the sky. It is made of black and gray boulders and looks extremely depressing and solemn.
At this moment, Qin Weijie understood what Mrs. Carter said, that the welfare manor in London was too simple.
As for the luxury inside the castle, there is no need to describe it. It is filled with the stench of the capitalist family, so it’s okay not to mention it.
Under the arrangement of an old butler who called himself Tosta, Qin Weijie did not enter the banquet hall directly, but was sent to the study of Welfare Castle.
In fact, Qin Weijie feels that this can no longer be regarded as a study room, but should be called a library.
In the circular hall, there are ancient bookshelves on the three inner and outer floors. Each bookshelf reaches the roof. It should be about seven or eight meters high by visual inspection.
The books on the bookshelf should be carefully arranged, and there are many secret numbers on them, which should make it easier to find the books.
At this time, old Marquis Foley was sitting in the center of the library... a space at least half the size of a basketball court.
Entering the center of the study room, Qin Weijie looked at the gloomy old Marquis Welfare across a desk that was almost five meters wide.
"I heard that you are learning magic by yourself recently?"
"yes"
"how?"
"I have already taught myself all the spells in the first-year Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts courses. They are not difficult and can be used flexibly." Qin Weijie answered truthfully.
Old Marquis Foley's eyes lit up, and then he continued to sit upright.
"Sit down." Old Welfare pointed to the sofa beside him and said.
Qin Weijie sat down and continued to wait for the old Marquis to speak.
After a long time, the old Marquis said to Qin Weijie: "Do you know who the person who assassinated you a month ago was?"
Qin Wei thought for a while: "It should be the Church of the Goddess of Death."
The Church of the Goddess of Death is a heretical church with a long history. It is active all year round on the European continent, but is rare in the British Isles.
It is said that the deity they believe in is the goddess of death, or death itself.
Believers include both wizards and Muggles. Believers dress strangely all year round and like to wear masks that symbolize death.
This group of believers is extremely good at hiding and keeps a low profile on weekdays. They only occasionally take on some assassination missions to supplement the church's operations.
But twenty years ago, this church did something that outraged both humans and gods, and was eventually uprooted by the Ministry of Magic.
"But I remember, wasn't this church eradicated twenty years ago by the entire European Ministry of Magic, together with the British Ministry of Magic? It seems to be related to the Spanish Flu that ravaged Europe that year."
"It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort this month." The old Marquis said gloomily.
"There's nothing I can do. Two assassinations in two days in a row, I can't stand it." Qin Weijie shrugged.
"In recent years, the Church of the Goddess of Death has shown signs of resurgence, but this time the people who want to kill you are not them, they are just hired killers."
"Then who wants to kill me?"
"I don't know. I have contacted the Selwyn family. Their underground businesses are all over the world, but even they don't know about this assassination. And the most important thing..."
As he spoke, Old Marquis Welfare stopped, looked at Qin Weijie, and continued after a while.
"You were the only one assassinated..."
"What do you mean?" Qin Weijie was confused.
"I think you have also heard about the experiences of the Welfare family over the years, right?" The old Marquis squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Qin Weijie.
"After paying some attention, I found that except for you and me, all the direct descendants of the Welfare family have been killed."
"That's right." Old Marquis Welfare stood up with his scepter and looked at Qin Weijie with a ferocious and suspicious face: "And you are the only one who was assassinated! The rest of them all died of that weird... black magic, weird
Black magic! How do you explain this?"
"Am I the only one being assassinated?"
Qin Weijie's expression suddenly changed, and he felt that everything was confusing.
But at this time, Old Fuli's expression was obviously a little scary. Qin Weijie felt that Old Fuli was doubting him, because all the descendants of the Fuli family died mysteriously in the past ten years, and only Qin Weijie survived. From this point of view, Qin Weijie was the biggest beneficiary.
Secondly, all the deceased descendants of the Welfare family died from black magic, only Qin Weijie survived.
Thirdly, no one was attacked or assassinated. Only Qin Weijie was assassinated twice, and both times were unsuccessful.
On that day in Diagon Alley, when all the attackers went to Ollivander's Wand Shop to assassinate Qin Weijie, Qin Weijie left there by coincidence and went to Gringotts, which was the most heavily protected and the safest place in Diagon Alley.
In summary, there is a doubt in Lao Fuli's mind. Qin Weijie may be the mastermind behind the scenes, or the mastermind behind the scenes hopes that Qin Weijie will become the heir to the Fuli family.
"You look like you're doubting me?"
Qin Weijie's expression was indifferent, but in his heart he was constantly thinking about how to round himself down. If he couldn't do it right, he might have to explain it here today.
Qin Weijie wanted to give up the inheritance rights of the Welfare family and simply return to China, but looking at the expression on Old Welfare's face at this moment, Qin Weijie knew that if he didn't explain clearly today, he might not be able to leave this study.
Even though there were huge waves in his heart, Qin Weijie's expression remained calm.
Is this what is said in the legend? I have a smile on my face, but my heart is full of dissatisfaction.
"How else can you explain that you were the only one alive, the only one who was assassinated, and you managed to survive both assassinations by coincidence?"
Old Fuli was like a furious lion, questioning Qin Weijie one after another.
"What's my motive? Why did I do this?" Qin Weijie was not deterred at all and looked up into the eyes of the old Marquis Welfare.
You must not show a trace of guilt at this time, you must be positive and tough~
"To inherit the Welfare family wealth!"
"You must be sick, you are old and immortal!"
Qin Weijie suddenly got angry and cursed in Chinese.
It's begun! It's begun! For a long time after that, Qin Weijie regarded the next words as the highlight of his acting skills. He could handle the emotions of unwillingness, anger, and grievance very well. Coupled with the young man's stubborn expression, Teacher Jin
I have to give one: perfect
"Before I came to the UK, I didn't know that the Foley family was rich, let alone the magical world. Even before I was nine years old, I had never heard of the Foley family, let alone that my mother was British. I always thought I was
I am proud of being a Chinese, but in the end you sent someone to tell me that I am a chuaner!"
"You want me to explain to you, and I want you to explain to me. Do you know how I came to England from China? I almost died on the road for seventeen months. I was sick and tortured myself.
Do you want to play a sad drama for you?"
"Also, I almost died the day I arrived. If my master hadn't brought me an amulet, I would have died that day!"
"On that day in Diagon Alley, it was Ollivander who suggested going to Gringotts. How did I know that Gringotts was the safest place to go? It was also the first day that I knew how good the magical world was!"
"Don't you want to explain? Let me explain to you why I was not attacked by black magic..."
As he spoke, Qin Weijie slapped his wand on the table: "This is the reason!"
"What do you mean?" Old Welfare was puzzled.
"The Chinese Dragon Subduing Wood can ward off evil spirits, and the scales on the core of the wand also have the same effect, and even blocked Tom's magic. The day before Diagon Alley, I should have been protected by those scales. This is you
Need an explanation!"
Old Welfare was still thinking, obviously he didn't react.
"Okay, since you think I am coveting your wealth, then send someone to send me back to China now! As a Chinese, I am willing to face the disasters of war together with my country!"
As he said this, Qin Weijie turned around and left.
three two……
Qin Weijie thought silently in his heart as he walked.
"Okay, stop pretending, come back!"
Lao Welfare called out to Qin Weijie. Qin Weijie stopped but did not turn around and come back. At this moment, Qin Weijie needed Lao Welfare's explanation.
"To be honest, I did doubt you a month ago. So I gave myself a month to investigate. After the investigation, I gained a new understanding of you and dispelled a lot of doubts."
"You are a smart child, very similar to Diana, your mother. It's just that she was too obsessed with the East and eventually died on the land she longed for."
What Lao Welfare said was very sad, and Qin Weijie couldn't help but frown, feeling a little sour in his heart.
"Hey, back to the subject, after a month of investigation, I found that the weird black magic has been covering you almost since you were born, but it has never harmed you. This makes me very puzzled. Until you took out
With your magic wand, I think I found the answer I was looking for."
"The mysterious power of the East, I believe it is the only one that can protect you. But right now there is a question that I can't figure out."
Qin Weijie turned around at this moment and asked, "What's the problem?"
"Why does this kind of black magic turn around and hurt those who attack you after it can't hurt you? It seems like... it's like that power is protecting you." Old Welfare said, with an expression on his face.
Showing the depth of old age.
"This..." Qin Weijie also fell into thinking, and then simply told Lao Welfare about the uncle who slipped and fell to his death, William who went to China to pick him up, and the Spanish officer who "kindly" took him in.
"You mean, the three people who helped you also have that kind of black line on them? It seems that after that weird black magic can't cause harm to you, it will randomly find people around you to attack..."
Old Welfare muttered thoughtfully.
"It seems that I am really an ominous person. Old man, if you want to live a few more years, you'd better have less contact with me. If that doesn't work, just send me back to China." Qin Weijie said.
"No, it's too dangerous there now! Jinling has fallen, and the Empire of the Rising Sun's army is pressing down on the territory. Within three months at most, China will be incorporated into the Empire of the Rising Sun's territory."
Old Welfare's attitude is very tough. Today's international situation is extremely chaotic. The Muggle world is in chaos, especially in East Asia.
The Empire of the Rising Sun has already conquered Jinling, the capital of China, and carried out a three-month bloody massacre of Jinling City from the end of last year to February this year.
After listening to Lao Welfare's words, Qin Weijie clenched his fists. His emotions were on the verge of collapse. The indescribable crimes of the Empire of the Rising Sun will not be forgotten by the Chinese people even in the next century. The memory of that period of shame and hatred is deeply ingrained in his mind.
It has entered the hearts of the Chinese people, and future generations will never dare to forget it.
"Fart! Are you just a kid who still wants to annex China? Old man, you really don't understand the Chinese nation. They would rather die fighting than be slaves to the country's subjugation. When they push this nation to a desperate situation, he will let you see the real people."
Dragon Slaying Technique'."
Although Qin Weijie's voice is childish, it is very powerful.
If his master hadn't reminded him many times not to intervene in the situation in China, Qin Weijie would have wished to fly back to China right now, holding the magic wand in his hand and chewing the big melon in front of a bunch of little devils.
"With your current ability, I will never trust you to leave the UK. Unless you obtain the title of Great Magician, I will never let you go back."
"Magic power above level seven?"
"That's harder than you think." Old Welfare sighed: "Although we guessed that the weird black magic will randomly select people around you to attack, in order to ensure that the guess is correct, I still feel it is necessary to send someone
It would be best to investigate and verify... But now that China is in chaos and Spain is also in civil war, I'm afraid it will be very time-consuming."
"As you wish~"
At this moment, Qin Weijie began to think about ways to quickly increase his magic power. He must find another book by Duca Stephen, "The Source of Magic Power". I wonder if it can be found in Lao Fuli's study. If it is not available here, then he can only hope.
In the library of Hogwarts, after all, as the only magic school in the UK, it has collected many books on magic theory over the years.
While thinking about Qin Weijie, he looked around Lao Fuli's study room and planned how to quickly find the "Source of Magic".
"Okay, get ready to go out. The guests should have almost arrived. You are the protagonist of tonight's banquet." Old Fuli patted Qin Weijie on the shoulder, reached out and took Qin Weijie's little hand and said.
"Am I the protagonist?"
"As a descendant of my Welfare family, you will be one of the most distinguished people in the wizarding world in the UK and even the world in the future. Tonight is your first step into the wizarding world. I will declare you orthodox at the banquet.
As the heir, I will also introduce you to people from the other three families." Old Welfare said.
"Isn't it the Holy Twenty-Eight Families? Why the other three families?"
"The twenty-eight holy clans are just some families who want to be rich and powerful. Remember, in the eyes of the Welfare family, there are only three families that can be friends with us."
"Selwyn, Crouch and Lestrange?"
"Yes, these are the four major saint clans in the magic world, the four major saint clans without a doubt."
