Chapter 749

Elrond agreed, or rather, compromised. Since Ogle was paving the way to becoming immortal, he as a father must not be able to hinder him.

After being assigned to two banquets, the exhausted Solim and Elena, who also didn't like the occasion, were finally liberated.

The Selwyns need to enlist the support of some small and medium-sized families, who either hold important positions or have key resources, which is really what Selwyn needs. However, it was obviously not appropriate for Elrond to go in person, as Selwyn's spokesperson in North America, his status dictated that he could only contact families or wizards with equal status, and these relatively low-status but capable families that could play a lot of roles needed another person of weight to negotiate on his behalf.

There was no other man in North America at this time who was better suited to the job than Solim: he was one of Selwyn, the grandson of Elrond, and one of the nominal owners of the stockyard. In the distribution of benefits, the free-range site of Ream cattle is the largest, and it is undoubtedly very appropriate to send Selwyn with a special identity like Solim to negotiate with those small and medium-sized families, which does not lose the face of the family, and at the same time reflects Selwyn's attention to those small and medium-sized families.

Reasonable and appropriate. Elrond thought it all over – not Solim's own wishes.

In Elrond's opinion, having a family member attend that occasion was something that didn't need to be said – and indeed it really was. Since Solim was a member of Selwyn and occupied a lot of the resources allocated by the family, this was his obligation.

Solim didn't want to go to any banquets at all, and he didn't want to make ends meet with people he didn't know, but as I said before, as Selwyn, Solim was his responsibility and obligation to do things for the family, whether he wanted to or not. This is the same as Elrond, who as a spell solver obviously doesn't like to deal with such messy things.

But no matter what, willing or not, Solim pinched his nose and completed the task. But the thought of coming over and taking over the mess when he graduated was that Solim was two big, and he didn't want to spend his post-graduation time doing all this—not at all.

The reason why Selwyn made these moves in North America and made these actions was for profit in the final analysis. As long as there is a greater interest in front of those old fellows, presumably they will no longer be interested in this side of things. And Ogle's plan clearly represents the greater good, so that his future life will not have to spend time in all kinds of entertainment and calculations, Solim is firmly close to his father, and he is also very interested in what kind of sparks science and magic can collide.

"She's going back with me?!" Solim raised his voice an octave, looking at his grandfather with a puzzled expression.

"What else can she do?" said Elrond, "If she doesn't go back with you, I'll have to send her back to Greif, but you know, it's impossible to go out to work as your fiancée, and she'll have to stay at home until you're an adult." Moreover...... Let her stay here, and someone will do something if she can't say it. "

"To do those rats has been done a long time ago. Solim pursed his lips and said, "I've already tried it, unless she can win an Oscar with good acting skills, otherwise judging from her performance at the time, she hasn't been exposed to those messy things." At least for now, she doesn't have any intention of harming me. "

"'Oscar'?

Solim opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take her back to England." But how do I settle her? Fair Island isn't very safe. "

"That's your fiancée, not mine. You're asking me what to do?" Elrond's eyes widened, "Also, don't think I don't know you have another house outside, your sister told me." "

(Sylna actually informed!)

Solim's teeth itched, and he was ready to "take revenge" after returning to Hogwarts.

"Then I'll arrange it myself. Solim said: "Since I want to take Elena with me, then I definitely can't go back with the phoenix by myself, when will the application for the Intercontinental Floo Network be completed?"

"Anytime. Elrond glanced at him, "It's a matter of minutes. "

The application of the Intercontinental Floo Network is not a "trivial matter", and the cost of activating the Intercontinental Aviation Network each time is not small, and there are a lot of forms to fill out, and you have to wait for the approval of the other side. Generally, it takes three to four days for an approval, and this is still a one-time situation. That is, a family like Selwyn can say something like "anytime".

"Okay, if you can, let's get it done as soon as possible. "Solim doesn't want to stay here at all.

Under Selwyn's name, it took less than an hour for the Intercontinental Floo network to be approved, which is the total time it took from the United States to submit the application and the British to agree.

Elena had no objection to such an arrangement, and the girl probably understood that her opinion would not change anything. In the few days that Solim was away, she had also figured out that unless she was willing to give up her life, she had no room to resist.

Solim doesn't feel good about Elena, but it's not bad either. In fact, Elena herself knows that her resistance to Solim comes more from the arrangement of this marriage, not against him as a person. After the loss of her most important loved one, the girl suffered a huge blow, instinctively resisting everything around her, and had an instinctive wariness of everything around her.

It's human nature, so Solim didn't take it to heart. He felt that if he changed to a new environment, his fiancée might be better.

"Seriously, every time the ICFLO network feels so bad. "

Solim, who landed first, helped up Elena, who had just been brought out of the fireplace behind her, and it was her first time using the Intercontinental Floo network. At this time, they were standing at the Ministry of Magic, next door to the Department of Transportation's international line office, and after Solim filled out the form and proved that the trip was safe, they found that Elena's face still did not improve much.

"Maybe we can wait and we'll go back when you're better. "

"Back to Selwyn Castle? I know there. "Elena still walks a little fluttery, maybe it has something to do with the fact that she wears a pair of high heels. Solim wondered if it was time to pull out his wand and turn her shoes into flat soles.

"I said," Solim looked at Elena.

"Huh?"

"In the future, if it's not necessary, it's better to wear this less. Solim pointed to the heels on Elena's feet, "Why torture your feet?"

"You haven't said where we're going. "

"Of course it won't be Selwyn Castle, let alone you, even I don't want to go back to that place. "

Solim and Elena slipped into the elevator that had just arrived.

"Huh, Solim?"

No sooner had the elevator door closed than a familiar voice came from behind Solim.
