A large manor located next to a small river. There are green green mountains nearby. The bright sunshine fell on the study table, giving the woman behind the desk a golden halo.
"Can't get in touch?" The woman's voice was low and gentle. It feels mature but not coquettish.
Short light blond hair and sharp facial features. The smart style gives her a neutral beauty. Opposite the desk, a wizard knelt on one knee in front of her and said seriously: "We have indeed lost contact. We don't know what the current situation of the two poachers is." The woman's expression did not change.
It seems that such a situation has been anticipated.
"Two wastes... But the problem is not big. Let our partners rest assured. That poison is specially made by our family. We have used it for so many years without any problems." When talking about the effect of the drug, the woman said The self-confidence here does not seem to be fake.
The men below nodded in response, and then continued: "Sir Tripcard has received another message urging us. Let us hurry up and get together to discuss how to welcome Lord Gaunt."
"Tch——, all the old guy can think about is how to compete with those guys in terms of pomp and etiquette. It's as if his family's little bit of background can really compete with those old money guys..." The woman's tone was full of emotion. All disdainful.
Only the old guy who had been brainwashed by the glory he preached would be so concerned about such a thing. There is no time to discuss such bad things, so why not think about how to make some money.
If that little guy named Luke Gunter can bring enough benefits, let alone let her attend a welcome dinner.
Even if she was asked to go to the bed to welcome the little guy, there would be no problem. But for now, although the little guy has money, it seems that the money has not yet formed any industry.
In terms of pure money, it really doesn't mean much. Hearing his master's lack of interest, the subordinate below said naturally: "But I think it is best for you, Lord Saphiel, to attend this banquet."
"After all, the Skye family cannot allow themselves to appear too unsociable." After hearing what his men said, Saphire Skye pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"Then tell that old guy Tripcard that I will arrive at the appointed time. Tell him not to rush him all day long." His subordinate smiled and nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave the room to deal with things. .
"How many families have confirmed that they are going to welcome the little guy?"
"All the members of the ten major families have confirmed that they will be present. Most of the remaining small families have no room to refuse." Sephiel Skye sat on his gorgeous chair and sneered again.
"It's really a big pomp. Don't Tripcard think that putting up such a big pomp to welcome people is a sign of lack of confidence? The old guy has been here for so many years. He's just old and has no brains. Well." After hearing this, his subordinates obviously wanted to say something more, but Saphiel Skye waved his hand impatiently.
"That's enough. I've heard enough of other people's nagging today. Get out of here."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate glanced at Saphiel Skye who had begun to close his eyes to rest, said helplessly, and then silently exited the room.
After the sound of the door closing. The calm expression on Saphiel Skye's face suddenly relaxed.
She kicked off the simple yet charming high heels on her feet without caring about the image. The feet wrapped in black stockings were just resting on the table.
The chair that looked solemn and elegant just now turned into a rocking chair almost instantly. There was a sly smile on her already beautiful face.
"Tripkard only thinks about the declining families that surpassed the British all day long. The other families have only been in power for a few years, and they have already begun to cling to their old roots."
"I, only I, am still thinking about learning from my ancestors, exploring unknown areas, and grabbing more wealth!" Saphiel Skye stretched out on the recliner, his white shirt held up by the two peaks. , the instep is straightened, outlining a mind-blowing curve.
She is not very old this year, only in her 20s. It is the age of youth and beauty. She fumbled with her hand in the bookshelf compartment that was just within reach, and then pulled out a newspaper.
The name of the newspaper is written in the upper left corner of the newspaper. "Daily Prophet" In the center of the page is a picture.
In the picture, Luke Gunter was wearing a special robe and got off the train. He seemed to have seen the camera, but he didn't care. He even politely gave a bright smile.
He is still young, but his handsomeness and nobility can already be seen. Although it may change as you grow up.
But the current situation is just the most suitable for some people who have developed addictions.
What's more, in addition to that face and demeanor, Saphiel Skye also noticed the robe on Luke Gunter.
Although the style looks classic and elegant. But someone like Saphiel Skye who is extremely familiar with Muggle society can still easily see the unique Muggle aesthetic contained in this dress.
Obviously, this little guy seems to be a representative of the old money, but in fact he should not be as stubborn as those British aristocrats.
But like himself, he has a deep connection with the Muggle world and understands his situation very well, although he has a little aesthetic bias.
But it won't be too noticeable.
"What a...smart boy." A doting smile appeared on Saphiel Skye's face.
"Why wouldn't I welcome you? But I can't be seen. There are some things I can do, but I can't take the initiative!"
"Did that woman agree?" Tripcard was obviously relieved, and the expression on his face became more cheerful.
"In this case, for some things, we don't need to take Lord Gunter with us." Tripcard had a meaningful smile on his face.
The subordinate standing behind him trembled his brows, but finally couldn't help but frown.
"Oh, what's the matter? You can tell me something." Tripcard looked at his men and said with a happy smile.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let Chief Skye go to greet Chief Gunter. Does Chief Skye think that his sacrifice is a bit big?" He didn't feel that he wanted Saphiel Skye to attend the banquet. have what.
But Lord Tripcard now obviously has other ideas. Will this offend Saphiel Skye?
You know, the current Skye family, among the ten major families, has climbed from the bottom to the top.
Tripcard laughed after hearing what his men said.
"I knew you little guys would be addicted to her charm after meeting Saphire Skye." Tripcard's words made the young men behind him rarely express their emotions.
He blushed and lowered his head apologetically.
"I don't mean to blame you. I understand your thoughts very well." There was also a hint of enthusiasm in Tripcard's own eyes.
But in the end, it was suppressed by the precipitation brought by age.
"Of course I will not force Master Skye." Tripcard said with wisdom,
"But don't think too highly of the Skye family's bottom line."
"The Gunter family is such a big piece of fat. Isn't that money what she desires most? If she can conquer this kid, then the money will be hers. How could she let this go? What’s the chance?”
"Actually, I have already expected her to agree to my invitations so many times!" The subordinate's head lowered.
This was not the look on your face just now when someone rejected your invitation six times. Of course, does Tripcard have a point?
There must be some. Luke Gaunt started out as a well-known rich man in the UK. Later, he gradually became a famous golden turtle son-in-law in Europe.
Later, he became famous all over the world. After all, a young, rich, handsome boy with a rich family background and strong abilities can naturally attract the attention of countless people.
Actually...
"Do you think the Skye family will be the only ones coming that night? No, no, no..."
"I plan to ask Yin Fanna to come to the party that day. I also know that there will be other people participating in the party." His face was extremely confident, but what he said made the men behind him He was full of slander.
No...is this guy named Gaunt so powerful? To make his master care so much.
Thinking about it... can the things that I once dreamed of... be realized so easily by this boy?
………………
"Luke, what do you think?" Dumbledore faced Meade's invitation. After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore did not immediately express his position, but looked at Luke beside him.
Luke held his chin and looked at Meade with a troubled expression.
"To be honest, Mr. Meade. I don't want to get involved in this. I'll be honest with you. I've had enough trouble this holiday season. Even this trip to the United States was a trip into trouble. .”
"This time on the ship can be said to be one of the few real holidays I have. I am still a child, and I really don't want to give up my holiday for some things." Luke said this with sincerity and sincerity. Seriously.
Mead also frowned when he heard this and fell into thinking. But Luke was not finished yet, he continued: "And I just analyzed it for you. There seems to be no problem with this matter. In fact, it is your master... let's call it a girl." Luke had already guessed that she couldn't be a simple friend's girl.
"This note doesn't matter whether you find someone or not. She can't trust you anymore. Even if you go there alone, the other person might avoid you. What's more, you're bringing two strange wizards with you?"
"I don't know what you have been through, and what your attitude is towards girls, I don't care about any of this." Luke said seriously: "I just want to enjoy my holiday, that's all." Luke said this with genuine emotion.
To be honest, after he completed the induction of the white hair and obtained the information, he had a showdown with Meade.
Meade basically told her everything except that she refused to reveal the girl's identity and only said that she was the person he served.
Of course, the replacement of some of the information did not cause too much information error. After Luke saw the note, he pieced together the whole thing.
The girl left this note and did not tell the truth. She was worried about some people and acted as if she didn't know anything yet and just thought it was a good opportunity to go out and have fun.
Used to model the other party's hostility. The effect can only be said to be better than nothing. But obviously this is a smart girl.
"The water behind you is really deep." Dumbledore looked at Luke's sigh and said nothing.
Turning his head, he saw Meade's eyes pleading for help, but he once again asked for a bucket of cold water on Meade's head.
"Sorry, Meade, Luke is my student. Just like you are responsible for that girl. I am responsible for my students. Your girl is dealing with a treacherous situation. My students are responsible for What we are facing is also a very dangerous reality." Mead opened his mouth.
But seeing the faces of the two people, I still sighed after all.
"And if we directly join your search team, who will we listen to?" Luke looked at Mead with a little disappointment.
"Anyway, let's go back to the United States. I also have some power in the United States. I can help you find it. I promise I won't give up on this." Meade didn't say anything in the end, but just left a conch as a communication prop. Then left.
After seeing Mead off, the old man and the young man walked to the restaurant. Not long after, the bodies of Huang Mao and Bai Mao were discovered.
"You were very direct." Dumbledore was quite emotional when he saw Luke kill someone for the first time.
"Although the Death Curse is dangerous and will result in death, you know, he is actually kind..." Luke said calmly.
Among other things, he has many spells that can kill people. The Killing Curse is probably the least painful of them all.
As for Luke knowing the Death Curse... Dumbledore wasn't surprised at all. In fact, almost everyone knows how to cast the Death Curse.
The spell itself isn't a very difficult one either. Students can learn it too. Its power depends on the magic power, quality of magic power, and killing intent.
Students often fall short in both magic and emotion. The killing curses they used to kill people couldn't kill them at all.
"The alienation of the caster by black magic is very powerful. You have to pay attention." Dumbledore looked at Luke when he said this.
He could tell just now. Although Luke's murderous intention was strong, it was a bit too abrupt.
This also verified some of his guesses in another aspect. However, Luke did not use his own abilities to refute this statement.
Instead, he nodded with a clear heart.
"Yes, yes, professor, you are so right!" Dumbledore: ...This little bastard's attitude is so perfunctory...
