Chapter 26

The next morning, Solim got up and started to prepare things - in the afternoon he was going to go with Elrond to the Orvis family to see a small squib, if he could make this squib use magic, then when he returned, Solim and Elrond would solve Sylna's affairs.

If there is a squib in the pure-blood wizard family, it is tightly hidden, for fear that outsiders will know, after all, in the eyes of pure-blood wizards, it is very embarrassing to have a squib in the family.

I'm already very satisfied with being able to find three Squib Solim with potential, of course, if for the sake of insurance, you can let them promote it after the success of the Orvis family, so that there may be one or two more "test subjects", but her sister can't afford to wait, she is ten years old this year, and she will be the age to go to school next year, if she can't become a wizard before Sylna is eleven years old, then her future fate is not easy to say.

Regardless of the magic school, it is not accepted after the age of eleven, and these schools can accept transfer students from other schools, but will not accept new students older than eleven.

There are too many wizards in the wizarding world who have not attended a formal school. Only young wizards who awaken their magic before the age of eleven have the value of being cultivated.

Look at Tumbledown Alley, those down-and-out wizards, most of them are wizards who have not received formal school education, their magic awakens too late, more than eleven years old, the school does not accept them, wizards who do not get formal education, their knowledge is not systematic. They can only learn on their own, while doing some dirty work to gain resources to continue their wizarding path.

These wizards who do not have formal education are not fully equipped - most of these wizards do not even know simple Transfiguration, because Transfiguration can be said to be the most systematic learning in magic, and they do not have this condition. Most of these wizards can only wallow in potions and herbs, and some don't even have wands - only regular wizards can buy wands, and these wizards who are not registered with the Ministry of Magic can only live in the dark corners of the wizarding world - places like Tumbledown Alley.

Solim didn't want Sylna to be like that in the future, although Sylna was a serious Selwyn, but for pure-blood wizards, Squibs were even more annoying than Muggles. Most of the attitudes towards Squibs are indifferent, and extreme families will even kill Squibs in the family to maintain the so-called "glory".

The thing about Syrna is that she can't drag on, either to become a wizard or to live as an ordinary person, far from everything she knows about. Even if the potion has no effect on Sylna, in the end she can only be an ordinary person, and I believe that grandpa will not ignore her. Although Snape's series of potions have been completed, and their effects have been shown through Filch, it is completely unknown whether it will be suitable for Sylna or whether it will have an effect on her sister.

Sylna's affairs aside, if this visit of the Ovis family goes well, it will be extremely beneficial to Solim, and at that time, various families will contact him one after another, asking him to solve the squib problem in their respective families, which will undoubtedly bring a lot of connections to Solim, and at the same time, Solim will also gain a lot of favors. In this way, if some people or families want to move him, they have to weigh it.

The Orvis family is also an ancient pure-blood family, their herbal plantation is very famous in the industry, as long as you are a potions master, you can't avoid the Orvis family, after all, their plantation has the largest output of precious potion materials. If he could help the little Squib become a wizard this time, it would be a great start for Solim.

After a hasty meal at noon, Elrond set off with Solim.

Here's a point: a family like Selwyn wouldn't use Floo.com. The first reason is because the Floo Network is handed over to the Ministry of Magic by the Elders, and once the Floo Network is connected, the position of the Selwyn family is equivalent to being exposed to the Ministry of Magic, so families like Selwyn and Ovis will not be connected to the Floo Network like ordinary wizard families. The second reason is because of the security of the Floo network, once the home is connected to the Floo network, for the clever wizards, they can come whenever they want, regardless of whether you unilaterally turn off the fireplace, people outside can enter and exit at any time, which is absolutely intolerable for an ancient pure-blood family.

The

Cornish Peninsula, which can be said to be the southernmost part of the entire Ying country, north of Plymouth, in Dartmoor National Park, hides the Orvis family's estate and three plantations, this is a paradise for hikers, of course, they are not close to the place where wizards live, so to speak, in Cornwall, where the climate is most suitable for growing herbs, the Orvis family is the master here, and they send a large number of mature herbs to all of Europe every year - not only Ying country. And there are plantations all over Europe, except that the manor in Dartmoor is their ancestral home, and people of status in the family generally live here.

Walking in the magnificent Dartmoor Park, Solim's original irritable mood couldn't help but open up. He wondered when he would go to his own house, and if he didn't go back to Selwyn Castle, Solim would have no place to stay except to live in the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

It's just that...... Pocket-shy, although Solim does have some savings, but this money can be used for some potion materials, and it would be funny if he really wanted to build a house. It's like a country after the millennium, where young people grit their teeth and buy a car to make a living, but if they want to buy a house, you can't afford it if you bite your teeth.

And the wizarding world doesn't mean that you want to build a house, find a piece of land yourself, get some stones and wood to build it. This is to be approved by the Ministry of Magic, to examine the local situation: whether Muggles are dense, whether there is a risk of exposing the wizarding world, how big the house is going to be built, what materials to use, all of these have to fill in a lot of information, and the final approval of the Ministry of Magic before you can build your own house. If you build a house without the consent of the Ministry of Magic, it is an illegal building, and not only will it be demolished for you, but you will also be fined, and if you don't know, you will have to go to Azkaban for a few days.

Even if the approval is down, you will have to pay a large sum of gold Galleons to the Ministry of Magic for the land. Don't say anything inaccessible and uninhabited, you just run into the desert to build a house, and you have to pay - if Ying has a desert.

"It's here, it's ahead. Elrond gestured.

Solim looked at the huge rock in front of him and asked, "Walk in?".

Elrond slammed into the rocks with a step—and he vanished. Solim shrugged, and the learned ones walked into the rocks.

"Isn't this the same as the platform of nine and three-quarters? Solim grumbled.

The greening of Orvis Manor is quite well done, and their elves must be very good at pruning these flowers and plants. On the left side in front of the gate, Solim even saw a ghost tree - a wand made of ghost wood was the best at using soul magic, but if you used a ghost wood wand to cast white magic like the Patronus Charm, you were done. As for why Solim knew the ghost tree, of course Sculle taught it, well, the ghost tree belongs to the kind of plant that must not be burned with fire - the ghost tree will emit a smell when it is burned, and people will become ghosts when they smell it, and to put it bluntly, they will die.

Is it appropriate to just plant such a dangerous plant at the gate?

"Don't understand, do you?" Elrond knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at Solim.

"Don't think about it, you'll be surprised when you go in. "

At this moment, an old man in a red wizard's robe walked out of the gate.

"Old thing, you're going to be late, come in quickly, don't grind. Although it was a little far away, Solim couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but as soon as he heard the voice, Solim knew who it was - Gilvis, a wizard who liked to talk to Elrond.

Elrond snorted, and walked towards the gate with Solim, explaining to Solim as he went: "Remember, after you go in, no matter who asks you about the potion, you can push it on me, don't pull the professor in your school in, Jill knows the situation, but the others don't know, don't say it." "

What Elrond said, Solim didn't turn a corner for a while.

"Idiot!" Elrond scolded in a low voice, "what else could anyone do to you if they knew the potion was Snape's?"

With this sentence, Solim figured it out.

If the potion is successful, it means that some special Squibs can become wizards, which also means that the families of these Squibs will owe Solim or Elrond a favor, if this is missed, everyone will go to Snape, and what is Solim?

But then again, it's really not very authentic. But Solim really needs the favors and connections of these pure-blood families now, and it's a big deal to compensate him for some potion materials in the future, or give him a few potion recipes.

When Solim saw the tree in the middle of the atrium, he couldn't walk. His eyes widened and his mouth was open, and he looked extremely surprised.

"Hahaha, I'll just say that every wizard who comes to the ancestral house for the first time is inevitably this. Gilves looked at Solim with joy.

"Boy, come back to your senses!" Elrond looked upset when he saw Solim lose his temper in front of Gilves. "Isn't it just a broken tree, what's so rare. "

"Fart!" Gilves, who was on the side, was furious when he heard this, "Don't forget what kind of virtue you were when you first saw it! "

It really was snake wood, and Solim did recognize this extremely precious tree: the famous snake wood, and the Slytherin staff was made of snake wood. There are many fields that can be used in Serpentine, whether it is potions or alchemy, it can be used. However, the most common method used by Serpent is to make a spellcasting tool: a wand or staff.

"I really want it!" Solim was tempted, and no wizard who knew the effect of the snake wood was not moved. A spellcasting tool made of snake wood has no upper limit of mana when casting. This means that you can even use all the mana of your body to cast a stun spell. You know, most wands have an upper limit of mana, and you can only use so much magic when you release a stun spell, even if you inject more mana into the wand, it will only be that kind of power in the end. But Snake Wood is different, there is no upper limit of Snake Wood's magic power found at present, perhaps because the magic level of human wizards has not yet reached the upper limit of the magic power that Snake Wood itself can carry. With a snake wand, you can even kill people with a single stun spell - provided your magic is strong, of course.

"Boy, if you can solve little Fleg's affairs, why don't I give you a snake wood. Gilves said with a smile on the side.

"Hey, the two of us, you're going to send one?" Elrond squinted at Gilves, "It's a shame that you're still the current head of the family, so stingy, it seems that the Orvis family will be like this in the future." "

"Fart!" Gilves was too sarcastic, "I don't know what you're paying attention to?" If it can really be done, I'll give you one by one, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about it, if it's in vain...... Hmph......" Gilves sneered.

"Alright, boy, come in quickly," Elrond beckoned to Solim, who was still staring at the snakewood, "get things done first, and see whatever you want." "
