Chapter 131

The Malfoy family is very efficient, yesterday Solim just sent the letter, today Draco wrote back that he had already asked people to procure, no surprise that construction can start in two days tomorrow, and Solim's house will be built in less than five days. And the Malfoys have already paid for it.

The news made Solim very excited: a house of his own! And there is no 70-year property right in the wizarding world, no property fees, no fees for this and that, and most importantly, the whole thing did not cost Solim a copper nat.

Of course, Solim knows why Malfoy is so concerned about his own affairs, Lucius has always been eager to restore the glory of the family, but he has also been worried about Malfoy's current situation, the current Malfoy is already in danger, not only is the population thin, but also there is a serious threat from the outside, if you want to protect Malfoy, you must have strong foreign aid, if Selwin is willing to help Malfoy, then Lucius's worries are no longer things, but with Malfoy's current situation, it is impossible to contact Selwyn's decision-maker, although Solim is an illegitimate child, but he is an illegitimate son with the family name, What does this mean Lucius is still very clear, let alone spending this little money, even if it is a big hemorrhage, Lucius is willing to take the line of Selwyn.

But Solim soon lost his excitement, because Elrond arrived, and brought Solim news that he didn't expect: the elders of the family wanted to see him.

This was something that Solim hadn't expected, and Solim himself didn't really have much in touch with the people in his family. When he was in the castle, he spent most of his time in the basement and didn't go up there to meet other people, because he knew very well what kind of conversations would happen when he went up and met people.

But now those old immortals in the family want to see themselves, there must be some reason. According to Elrond's own speculation, it is likely that it is because of Solim's own talent, the role she played in Sylna's transformation from a Squib to a wizard, and the Black Glove incident, which combined to make those family elders want to meet Solim, and there is no doubt that among the young wizards who are still minors in the family, Solim is definitely the most prominent.

It is normal for the elders of the family to want to meet outstanding offspring. But when Elrond told Solim a little bit about who the elders were, Solim's heart began to beat a drum.

Not surprisingly, all of those elders were dark wizards. In fact, the vast majority of wizards of this level like the Great Wizard are dark wizards, but there are very few white wizards like Dumbledore. The high-end is that magic is absolutely emotional, and the instinct engraved in the depths of everyone's heart - or rather, the primal instinct of every creature is to kill, and under the evolution of this instinct, all kinds of negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, cruelty, etc., are the foundation of many dark wizards. Because these negative emotions are shared by everyone, even Dumbledore is no exception, compared to the difficult path of the White Wizard, the success rate of the Dark Wizard is significantly higher. On one side are the relatively easy to achieve dark wizards, and on the other side are the white wizards who are rare in the entire wizarding world, and the vast majority of them will choose the path of the dark wizard. It's not that dark wizards are bad guys, but their magical qualities can make them look horrible and give people a bad feeling.

And because of the characteristics of dark wizards, they are unscrupulous in their style of acting, and if they want to know something, they usually just take a deceit and pass, and dark wizards are much more domineering in their actions than white wizards.

Solim knew that if the old guys in the family really wanted to see him, then he couldn't hide from him anyway. Solim feared that the old ones who liked to use the Deception or the Truth Elixir at every turn would discover his innermost secrets. Even if he didn't, having a conversation with a dark wizard of that level, or rather, it should be Solim being cross-examined, was something that Solim resisted just thinking about.

Can Solim dodge? If he can't, he can only satisfy the old guys as much as he can. As long as Solim shows enough value and shows more of the traits that the old guys value, Solim believes he can get through this level. But the point is that Solim can be said to know nothing about those old things, their preferences, their style of acting, etc., fortunately, Elrond is thoughtful, and this time he also brought a lot of family biographies, all of which are related to these elders. The loss of this is that Selwyn has a long heritage, and the family will retain the habit of recording the past deeds of family members, which is really not necessarily the case in an ordinary family, but the average family will not have so many old things still alive.

Not knowing when the call from the elders of the family would come, Solim could only put aside everything he was on for a moment and concentrate on reading these boring, unknowledgeable biographies. There are many books in Selwyn's library, and biographies are the least readable of Solim, after all, this kind of book does not record the theory of magic, nor does it dissect spells, at best, it can only slightly expand Solim's knowledge, so Solim has always turned a blind eye to these books, but now it is different, Solim can only read it helplessly at night.

Because he didn't know when he would meet those old things, Solim could only seize as much time as he could to get acquainted with his cheap ancestors from these biographies.

The most important of these is the real ruler of Selwyn: Cadmus. As a member of the Council of Thirteen, Cadmus is the embodiment of power in some ways, and the Council of Thirteen has the power to intervene and modify the final resolution of matters throughout Europe, from the clean-up of the Goblin Act or the transfer of a small shop, to the personnel arrangements of the ancient seal guards, or the punishment and punishment of certain families. However, most of the time, these trivial matters are carried out by the large and small affiliates of the Presbyterian Church, such as Elrond's two older brothers, Lesotho and Bred, one of whom is the head of the Dangerous Resettlement Committee and the other is the head of the Logistics Department of the Dangerous Resettlement Committee. The important job of this so-called dangerous resettlement committee is to guard the seals and eliminate any factors that will endanger the interests of the Presbyterian Church, in fact, solving Voldemort should be the job of this department, but for some reason, it is now Dumbledore who is doing this job.

Cadmus was a ruthless and ruthless man - in fact, almost all dark wizards were in this trait, but since he was one of the thirteen most powerful men in all of Europe, this was especially true of him. According to the biography, Cadmus, the longest-living ancestor of the Selwyn family, has more than eighty family members who have died under his hands, all of whom are bloodline, not illegitimate sons like Solim. Even his own descendants can be killed as they say, let alone Solim, although most of those people were mercilessly killed by Cadmus because they wanted to split up their families, but it can also be seen that Cadmus is a person who will never tolerate anyone disobeying him.

Although Cadmus's sons and grandsons also have a great deal of voice within the family, in general, as long as Cadmus can be dealt with, basically no one else will have objections. But the key is how Solim caters to the mind of this old ancestor? According to the book, Cadmus is a dark wizard who likes to kill everything, and he has always done anything to destroy his enemies and opponents, and then erase everything about them. For such a wizard, how to cater to him?

The Richie family, like the Selwyns, is one of the thirteen most powerful families in Europe. In a situation like this, the Rich family and the Selwyn family are either allies or hostile relations, and at that table where only thirteen people can sit, it is inevitable to form a faction, and it has nothing to do with whether it is a wizard or not, as long as it is human, there will be politics. Solim was more inclined to be hostile to the Ritchie family and the Selwyn family, otherwise his illegitimate son would have been arrested within the family long ago.

Thinking of this, Solim was somewhat relieved. Killing the heir of the Rich family through a black glove duel will make the Rich family, which is not a prosperous family in the first place, suffer losses, which must be something that Cadmus is happy to see, of course, provided that the relationship between Rich and Selwyn is indeed as Solim speculated.
