The Evil God of Hogwarts

Chapter 31 No simple reasoning

Maxim asked for a cup of Indian black tea after leaving. He was a very talkative person. From that initial introduction, he went on to talk about the weather and Hogsmeade, and then gave his opinion on the latest current events.

He didn't realize the purpose of his trip until the cup of black tea with lemon slices was served.

"Forgive me, sir," he said apologetically, "but let them talk about business. Otherwise, Mr. Benson Price left his estate to you, so he needs you to sign some documents. "

Xing Ze realized that the topic would last for a long time, so he called the clerk to refill his cup of tea.

"Is it really an unexpected surprise?" Xing Ze said with emotion, "I know, he didn't know Mr. Price at all before."

"Haha, sir, they say that a person will be lucky at least once in his life." Maxim replied with a smile, "Maybe your luck has come."

"Perhaps. What did Mr. Price leave for him?"

"Oh, I can see that you are a straightforward person." Maxim put down the teacup and took out a lacquered document from the hat beside his leg.

He cleared his throat and read in a low voice: "The small shareholding in Comet Trading Company is worth three thousand galleons, with a monthly profit of twenty-seven galleons. An old house in Hogsmeade is worth one thousand galleons." Long’s deposit.”

"It sounds like a lot. Where does he need to sign?"

"Um, sir, would you like to sign there?"

Xing Ze shrugged and asked, "Do I have a better place to go? Mr. Maxim?"

"He thought you would want to see the house first before signing on. He could walk you there, it's not far from there."

Xing Ze put his notes into the ring, picked up the cup and took a sip. He didn't shut up, but looked at the man in front of him with a smile.

After a short and awkward silence, Maxim was the first to speak: "What do you want, sir? Of course, if you insist on going by yourself, he can give you the key."

"A person is lucky at least once in his life. Mr. Maxim, is that what you say?"

"Yes, sir, they all say that."

The smile on Xing Ze's face got even bigger, "Then his luck has already been used up, and he doesn't believe that he will be lucky a second time."

The corners of Maxim's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, the young man in front of him didn't let him answer.

"Am I the administrator of Gringotts' estate? Ah, yes, I am. I need an identity to hide it." Xing Ze looked at the expression of the man in front of him with interest. In addition to that confidence, he also had a little Apart from the mocking smile, he could see no change.

"Ah haha, you are really good at joking, sir." Maxim laughed and put the document into his hat. "He does have another job, helping people draft wills and then charging a small amount of money. I also know that as a wizard, your monthly expenses are always very high.":

"He has been with you for a long time today, sir." The wand in Xing Ze's sleeve slipped into the middle of his leg. "They might as well open the skylight and speak frankly. If not, he can ask me to leave."

The man's face finally changed. He frowned and rolled his eyes, probably thinking about how to respond.

Xing Ze saw a reckless boy running past the front desk and almost knocking over a clerk. Near the door, two girls were whispering to each other, and their eyes occasionally drifted to a handsome boy not far away.

A couple were flirting in the corner, and two young men leaned against the fireplace looking for a pretty girl to fuck with. Mrs. Puddifu is carefully brewing a cup of scented tea...

Then the voice brought Xing Ze back from his thoughts, "Where did he show his flaws?" Maxim asked in a deep voice. When he wasn't smiling, he was more like a rabbit.

" Hypericum perforatum and blueberries."

"What?"

"My pants are stained with St. John's wort petals, and there's blueberry juice in my footprints."

Maxim looked down at his legs. A few yellow petals were hanging on his left leg. He frowned and raised his right foot again. There was indeed a lot of residue from crushed blueberries on the sole.

"So what?" He was a little confused, and he didn't want to believe that the young man in front of him had doubted his identity just based on that.

Xing Ze tapped the table with his leg fingers. " Hypericum perforatum is not common in Hogsmeade. As far as he knows, it is only found on the path leading to the Shrieking Shack. He just killed three scoundrels there. , and then walked through the deserted grassland to the teahouse.

"On the way he passed by the Literary Quill Shop. The blueberries planted behind the shop were ripe. He wondered if they could be used to make magic blueberry ink. Like me, he also stepped on a lot of blueberries that fell to the ground. Then What a coincidence, don’t you think, Mr. Maxim?”

The rhythm of the tapping of the legs and fingers began to slow down, and the expression on Maxim's face gradually became stiff.

"But he doesn't believe in coincidences, let alone the pie in the sky, sir. The mead in the Three Broomsticks Bar is very famous. It has a special fragrance. Although it is very weak, he can still smell it from me. out."

Xing Ze squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "But he didn't see me when he went in. He was in a hurry when he came out, so he didn't pay attention. Maybe I was walking near the fireplace, where it was dark enough to hide my body. "

Shouldn't he just reject an inferior Eastern wizard who is greedy for money? Maxim squeezed out the words from his dry throat: "Wonderful, sir, really wonderful. Who would have thought that he lost to mead, blueberries and forsythia."

"He couldn't hear how much praise there was in the words. Because my crotch held the cup, not the wand." ? The two men walking in the corner of the back door."

"Then how can I tell?"

"Please, sir." Xing Ze raised his eyebrows, "Two middle-aged men come to a teahouse like that instead of a bar? I'm too embarrassed for them."

Maxim picked up the cup and took a sip. He said in a deep voice: "He doesn't like people who are too smart, but some people like them. Young people, so they want to see me. No, no, don't use Apparition. Exactly." Said they could provide me with information."

"what's the message?"

"Mr.R didn't tell me."

Xing Ze moved his legs very quickly, and the wand on his left leg stopped in front of the man's eyes, but he could not cast any magic. As a magical artifact, Maxim's hat automatically cast a stasis spell, and his magic was stagnated in the wand.

"How many times can I perform that trick?"

"Only once." Maxim used his legs to push the wand away from his eyes. "Put away the wand, young man, I will scare the customers in the store. He has no ill intentions, so just come and convey an invitation."

Xing Ze lowered his wand but did not put it away. He sneered: "For whom?"

"For the church."
