Late at night, a desk lamp was on, and Alice's long, white fingers were tapping unconsciously on the table. She was wearing pajamas, a heavy cloak, and a pair of furry slippers on her feet.
Looking at it this way, it seems that someone shouted him out in his sleep.
In front of the desk, Arthur was standing, the expression on his face still a little dazed.
It's like he hasn't recovered yet.
Salazar?
"Salazar? Slytherin?"
Alice was confused. What exactly is going on? How can I find such a thing while searching for a batch of goods?
"Are you kidding me?"
Alice pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
It's not that she doesn't believe Arthur, it's just that this matter is still too incredible after all. Their current organization was formed during the time of Slytherin. That was a group of people who admired Slytherin and were willing to serve as pioneers for Slytherin. After Slytherin disappeared, they chose to continue supporting the Gaunt family. After the Gunter family became increasingly dissatisfied, they gradually became alienated from the Gunter family. But he never chose to give up his observation of the Gunter family.
In this generation, someone finally appeared who they thought they should seek refuge with, so they didn't hesitate too much and directly chose to move closer to Luke.
This is also in line with the oaths made by their ancestors back then.
And now... you have received a message, saying that your ancestor is dead, but the person your ancestor was loyal to is not dead yet!
Isn't this a joke? !
But even if Alice said this, Arthur remained silent and said nothing.
There was no way, and he didn't want to admit it, but that special binding force was still hard for him to understand. Just think about it and tell him from the bottom of your heart when you face that person, you can't lie, you can't be disrespectful, you can't refuse.
Arthur looked confused and didn't know what to say.
Alice looked a little helpless when she saw Arthur's expression.
Then, her expression returned to confusion again. Obviously, this matter is not so easy to deal with. After all, it involves a legendary figure who has long since died.
Ah, no, there really is no legend recording the cause of Slytherin's death. But do you still need to guess about this kind of thing? Just think about it, how could the Big Four still be alive in the world?
Now that a man calling himself Salazar suddenly appears, do you think those people are still alive?
Can they all live forever?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Alice clenched her fists. She didn't know whether she was in disbelief or greed.
Arthur watched Alice's movements without saying anything. No matter what decision Alice makes, he will support it unconditionally.
Of course, it would be best if you can avoid conflict with that person.
Taking a deep breath, Alice closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened her eyes again and said to Arthur: "Go find someone to monitor you from a distance. Don't get too close and don't offend that person. If there is a specific situation... I'll discuss it with Luke."
Even though I was mentally prepared. But for some reason, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when Alice made her decision.
If you don't make an enemy of Luke Gunter, it shouldn't be considered a violation of your oath, right?
Arthur himself wasn't sure. After all, the oath at that time was in the hands of the ancestors who established the oath, and only they could decide whether there were any loopholes.
For example, Arthur read a book, in which there was a story about a contract that was initially considered impossible to be enforced, but ended up causing many people to fall into confusion because the coffin of an ancestor who complied with the contract was revealed.
】
Now, their situation is really embarrassing.
Following Luke Gunter seems to be in line with the vows made back then. But following Slytherin, wouldn't it be more in line with the vows made back then? ?
No matter what the situation is now, you have to think about how to come into contact with the person suspected of being Slytherin next.
And if you tell Luke, it will naturally be a way of showing your attitude.
As for taking sides... I'm sure there's no rush.
It’s hard to say what the relationship between this pair of ancestors and descendants is like.
"By the way, keep the news under control and don't let Kidd and the others know about it."
Alice spoke again before Arthur left the room.
Arthur nodded and did not refuse Alice's request. If those people who were originally reluctant to accept Luke knew the news, it was really hard to say how they would react.
After all, the man who claimed to be Slytherin was obviously not in the right state right now. As an excuse, it might be just right.
Alice finally took most of the power back into her own hands, so naturally she would not give the other party a chance to make a comeback so easily.
After Arthur left, Alice frowned again.
She doesn't understand. Could this still be true?
Alice pondered for a long time, and finally she lay on the desk and started writing a letter.
Damn it, ever since she came into contact with Luke, there were more and more things like this that she couldn't figure out and it was hard for her to make decisions.
But that’s okay. After having Luke, I no longer have to worry about these troublesome problems. It's true that it's not all a bad thing.
"Luke, something incredible happened here..."
………………
"Are you telling me a story?"
Saphiel looked at his brother in front of him, frowning, with a dissatisfied look on his face. She has always been strict with her younger brother. Of course, the relationship between the two siblings is still very good.
After all, when we worked together to deal with Dad, everyone was a united front.
Saifei didn't want to become a tool of the family, and even ended up using his marriage as a tool for the family to gain profits. And Scotty didn't want to inherit all this stuff at home. This will only make him more constrained and less free.
In his opinion, as long as he lives a good life and contributes to the family, this is the best repayment for the family. make money? Develop family power? Are these things he can do? If he could do this, his father would not leave these tasks to his sister.
So when they grew up, when the two of them faced their father's request to swap their roles as siblings, they refused without hesitation and quickly reached a united front.
In fact, it is not as complicated as outsiders speculate. Scotty grew up thinking that he was a piece of mud that couldn't stand up to a wall. His own strength is pretty good, but his management and operation abilities are basically zero. If you want the Skye family to be passed down, the best way is to stay out of the family affairs.
It is important for people to know themselves. Fortunately, Scotty is a very self-aware guy, even if his father tried his best to brainwash him and told him that it was OK. But he still understood that he was simply not good enough.
Moreover, life is so good now, why should you worry about things that you don't like at all.
If you take care of those things yourself, wouldn't you be the one having a headache behind the desk now?
Scotty looked at his sister who frowned and looked up at the ceiling with both gloating and thankfulness. Saphire's hand clenched a piece of paper on the table into a ball, turned around and threw it directly into Scotty's face.
Scotty didn't hide, and let the paper ball fall on his face, and then bounced to the ground.
He smiled, and then waved to the assistant who was guarding his sister to indicate that he could go out.
There was no dissatisfaction on the assistant's face, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Scotty looked at his sister and asked with a smile: "Sister, aren't you worried that Luke Gunter will be suspicious of you if he knows that you have a handsome male secretary by your side?"
"If he is really suspicious, then it's not worth my trouble." Saphire continued to look up at the ceiling and said, "I wish he would pay attention to me."
Scotty looked at his sister's calm expression and was a little confused for a moment. Anyway, he has never seen his sister in this posture, so maybe it is true love.
But he still couldn't figure out what charm such a kid could have to charm the old lady.
Personally, he still prefers to believe that that brat can provide many, many benefits to his elder sister.
As far as he knew, the deepening cooperation with the Deep Sea Empire and the cooperation with Arthur were all due to Luke Gunter. It had to be said that this person was really interesting. These real benefits made Scotty really confused about what his sister was thinking.
After all, Luke's attitude is also very intriguing. He seems to be hanging on his sister.
Hell, he couldn't even think about such a thing. My elder sister is usually a fisherman. When will she become a fish that is hung?
"What are you thinking about? Let's think about how to deal with this matter first."
Saphiel looked at his brother's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he spoke to interrupt his increasingly divergent thoughts.
After hearing Saifei's question, Scotty shook his head in confusion.
"What ideas can I have?" As he spoke, he sat up straight and asked with a serious face, "I am indeed a little curious about this matter. After all, that person really gave me a feeling that was difficult to resist. "
When Scotty thinks about it now, he still feels a little trembling. This person is simply too outrageous. That kind of powerful and weird magic and vitality prevented him from even having the desire to get close to the cave.
"The first point is whether this person is real Salazar Slytherin or a fake Salazar Slytherin."
Saphire raised a finger and then said to Scotty.
Scotty looked confused: "I really don't know. You have to say otherwise, I think it might be right in terms of strength. I have also seen Dumbledore in public, and the danger Dumbledore gave me Which one is weaker than the other? Of course, this is not a good basis for judgment. After all, there are many factors that influence the sense of danger, and it is not all a matter of strength."
"But if you want to say it, you are right... Damn, I don't want to believe it at all. Such an old monster... I shudder just thinking about it."
As he said this, he actually shivered in response to the situation.
Saphiel ignored his brother's showmanship and raised his second finger.
"Second, if it's true, then you have to think about whether to follow the other party or study the other party's secrets..."
"It is not recommended to study each other's secrets, sister. You have to do things according to your ability. I know you like to take risks, but this is still true. You can't take risks casually. It will kill you!"
Scotty quickly interrupted before Saphire could finish what he said. Are you kidding, can you just say this kind of thing casually? Are you really not afraid of being eaten by humans?
He believed that his elder sister definitely had someone strong enough, but he really didn't believe that this person would be as powerful as Dumbledore. Otherwise, would I still be willing to give in to this guy Tripcard?
A direct blast and that's it.
Saphire glared at him, and Scotty shrank his neck subconsciously, then smiled and made a 'continue' gesture to Saphire.
Saifei snorted, and then continued: "I know this plan is not feasible. So we only need to consider the first option. And if the other party is fake, then we want to fight the fake, or make him true of."
Scotty immediately thought of the benefits of the latter. Although the source of the noble bloodline can be traced. But if someone like Slytherin admits that the Skye family is his descendant, then their status will naturally change instantly.
This matter...needs to be thought about.
However, Saphiel did not stop, and then raised a third finger: "Third... Do you want to tell Luke Gunter about this matter?"
Scotty looked at Saphire strangely, and asked with some confusion: "Will you still consider this issue?"
Saphiel rolled his eyes at his younger brother, looking very charming, but his brother didn't understand romance at all.
Please, dear sister, how will you react...
Who would be interested in someone who can crack your skull off at any time?
"This matter is related to the family. If I can take advantage of it all, of course I will choose to put the family first."
Saphire said it was a matter of course. But they both understand...
"But there is no way. Even if we don't tell, Arthur and the others will tell Luke Gunter about this matter. We can't hide it even if we want to."
"Unless you can convince the other party to join you in hiding Luke Gaunt."
"But the other party is Luke Gunter's retainer, right?"
The two siblings looked at each other with somewhat tangled expressions on their faces.
Obviously, they all saw the benefits that this guy who called himself Slytherin could bring to them. But at the same time...
They also have to face the risks of this matter.
………………
"Luke, it seems I have your letter again."
Harry sat next to Luke and pointed at the owl flying towards them.
