Chapter 155: Reciprocity

Li Kuda and Li Kuye are obviously not the only ones who doubt their ears. Of course, there are also people who doubt themselves but others.

"Sister, there must be a limit to joking..."

The speaker was Fourth Aunt, a witch from the United States who came back with Fourth Uncle this time. Her face was full of disbelief:

"You think we know nothing about Hogsmeade?"

"...Hogsmeade is the village next to the school."

Adam looked at the back of his fourth aunt and said silently:

"The wizarding school in England is called Hogwarts."

The fourth aunt was silent for a moment, then waved her hand nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter what you call it. You probably don't know that the people in Western Magic School who really have the right to speak are the school board of directors. It's impossible for those people to leave a banquet to a student..."

School Board...

There was a moment of subtlety in Adam's heart. Over the years, the school board had almost become an easy target. When he first heard about this organization, he felt a phantom pain in his conscience.

But this did not interrupt Adam's train of thought:

"Fourth Aunt probably doesn't know that the current headmaster of Hogwarts is Professor Albus Dumbledore."

Looking at his fourth aunt who turned her head, Adam smiled slightly:

"That's Professor Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald. Let me put it this way, will Fourth Aunt be more familiar with this name? By the way, which state does Fourth Aunt's family live in? Maybe Grindelwald is next door. It was blown up."

Fourth Aunt couldn't help but move her fingers.

Is this human language?

However, Grindelwald...

Compared with Voldemort, the Dark Lord, Grindelwald's reputation in the UK may not be that great, but around the world, the latter's reputation is far greater than the former.

After all, Voldemort's power was blocked by Professor Dumbledore before it even left the UK, and the middle path collapsed. However, Grindelwald's Wizarding Party directly declared war on the wizarding world around the world, and the United States was one of the important battlefields.

And Dumbledore, as the wizard who finally defeated Grindelwald...of course she knew it.

"So, Fourth Aunt should be able to understand that the school board does not have much say in front of Professor Dumbledore on matters related to Hogwarts."

"..."

The fourth aunt's face looked ugly.

First of all, Adam's words show that what Ms. Li just said is most likely true - her judgment has nothing to do with Dumbledore, but Adam's reply to her words so quickly and fluently, so The character description shows that the other person's life at Hogwarts is good, at least it is completely different from the life she imagined No-Majs would have in a magic school.

Secondly... having a junior point out mistakes and refute face is not something that the fourth aunt can accept easily.

Seeing that the scene fell into awkward silence, the grandfather said:

"Dumbledore... I remember Minister Wang once mentioned that he was a great wizard."

Minister Wang is obviously the minister of the Chinese Ministry of Magic, so it is normal for him to have contact with Professor Dumbledore.

Grandpa spoke, and the fourth aunt suddenly stopped talking.

Adam also accepted it as soon as possible.

He could also understand the fourth aunt's mentality. MACUSA was a very young magical institution, and even the United States was very young. This resulted in a relatively closer relationship between American wizards and the Muggle world.

This does not mean that wizards in the United States do not discriminate against Muggles - for wizards, Muggle is a neutral term, and No-Maj is a derogatory term - but that their ideas of the times will be highly consistent with those of ordinary people, unlike other people. The wizarding world in the region feels like it is decades or even centuries behind the Muggle world.

At a time when the Soviet Union has collapsed and the United States dominates the world, American wizards, like ordinary people in the United States, also have a sense of superiority over wizards from other countries.

What Ms. Li just said offended this sense of superiority, so it was normal for her to feel unhappy and retort verbally, but Adam would not tolerate her.

Ancestors are ancestors after all, and there is nothing Adam can do to make Ms. Li sad. Ms. Li will be even more sad if she fights back, but Fourth Aunt...

Anyway, it’s better to get used to it now. After all, in the next few decades or even longer, will there be fewer people who are offended by America’s sense of superiority?

The incident passed, and at least on the surface, everyone didn't take it to heart. It's just that the fourth uncle and his wife were inevitably a little out of place in the happy atmosphere of the family.

Adam glanced at his fourth uncle, looking like he was having a hard time being caught between his wife and sister, trying hard not to make the atmosphere more awkward - in this era, a Chinese wizard went to the United States and married an American wizard. It is normal for China to become the weak side.

In any case, the family's reunion after more than ten years was quite harmonious, and the meal lasted until very late.

What surprised Adam was that several uncles and grandparents also prepared red envelopes for him.

"You always have to have a red envelope when you go home for the first time. It's not too much. It's just for luck, so keep it."

"Then I'm not welcome~"

Adam took several thick red envelopes and put them into his satchel, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Although it is impossible to open the red envelope now, you can still find pen and paper inside. What currency could it be?

When Ms. Li saw this, she touched the bag. She couldn't accept the red envelope casually, even if her parents were elders, but she had to return the money given by her brothers. It didn't matter how much, but the meaning was important.

But she hadn't been back for so long, and she was nervous before, so she forgot about it. There is money in the bag now, but it would be ugly if I don’t take the red envelope and give it away...

Fortunately, Adam was prepared...or could be prepared on the spot.

"Cousin, cousin, this is for you."

Adam took out two small bottles from his bag and handed them to Li Kuye and Li Kuda:

"One bottle of blessing elixir for each person. Don't be dissatisfied if you don't prepare a red envelope."

"What is the elixir of happiness?"

Li Cuda took the bottle and turned it around in his hand. There were no instructions printed on the bottle...

"Lucky potion?"

Li Kuye's eyes lit up, it was obvious that he had heard the name of Fuling Elixir.

Then Li Huye explained to Li Huda the preciousness and effect of the Fuling Elixir. Li Huda couldn't help but look at the small bottle in his hand:

"Drinking this medicine can really make people lucky?"

"Actually, it's not accurate. The real effect of Fuling Ling Elixir is to keep all human states at their best, whether it's neurological reactions, emotional control, spell-casting abilities, etc. In this case, of course everything will go more smoothly. , it seems like luck has improved.”

The light in the eyes of the two people holding the blessing elixir never went out but brightened.

With this explanation, this lucky potion actually sounds more reliable than the simple lucky potion!

"I've also heard of the reputation of the Magical Potion, but today is the first time I've seen it. It turns out this is the true effect of this potion."

The third uncle looked at the elixir in his son's hand in surprise, and couldn't help but be a little greedy:

"I heard that the brewing of this potion is extremely complicated and takes half a year to complete. I am afraid that there are not more than two digits of potion masters in the world who are capable of brewing it."

You must know that brewing the Fuling Elixir is not only cumbersome, but also difficult, time-consuming, and the materials are extremely expensive. If you make a mistake, it will take time, effort, and money.

Therefore, even potion masters who are capable of brewing the elixir rarely cook it. More often, others come to entrust the potion with materials and deposits. The balance is paid if successful, but the deposit is non-refundable if failed.

Given this condition, not everyone has the means to find someone to entrust them to cook it!

That is to say, for Professor Snape, potions and consumables can be reimbursed by the school board, and he usually has enough free time, so he will have more elixirs in his hands.
