Chapter 170 The New Owl and the Commotion
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
When Luke and the others returned to a populated place, the first thing they did was to ask for an owl rental shop.
"Don't worry! Our owls are the fastest in France!"
With a confident face, the boss patted his chest and said solemnly.
Luke looked at the old owl behind the boss, whose wings were withered to the same degree as the boss's head, with a look of suspicion.
Dumbledore patted Luke on the head and said, "Don't worry, this one is indeed the fastest in France."
He pointed to the map of Europe hanging in the shop and said, "Because this is the owl rental shop closest to Hogwarts."
Logically speaking, they could use Nicole's owl, that is, the great snowy owl.But the snowy owl seemed to be stimulated by Kidd, and it would not move until it caught a fish.Nicole advised them to find other owls.For so many years, he has never seen a few fish on his owl.
The two of them could also go straight back to Hogwarts now, find Snape, and let him brew the medicine.But... this medicine is quite complicated, even if it is given to Snape, it will take two days to succeed once.
Hell, if it really takes two days, the Delacours will be dragged into the trap.
Because in many cases, what people who struggle with such things don't want the truth at all, but a scapegoat that can be used to stabilize the status quo.The truth is not important at all, but order, stability, and the hat on one's head are very important.
So Luke must also stay here and clean up the mess he left behind.
Otherwise, he himself is incompetent, and he cannot accept such an incompetent self.
"Don't touch my head, the president is not tall."
Luke angrily opened Dumbledore's hand.He suddenly felt that being so familiar with Dumbledore was not all good.This old man really has no sense of distance.
Dumbledore didn't care either, and while watching the boss take out a handsome owl from the back room, he said with a smile: "For a person who wants to achieve greatness, height will not be an obstacle to his progress. yes."
"Oh," Luke also looked at the owl in front of him, but after hearing this, he still sneered, "But for ordinary people, height will really cause trouble in life."
But I'm afraid it's hard to be an ordinary person.
Dumbledore's words remained silent after all.Because there is no need.Even if he really said it, he was sure that this fellow Luke had something else waiting for him.
Luke was really annoyed by that snowy owl with a full personality before.But I didn't waste too much time on it.After asking twice, but the other party did not respond, Luke directly chose to find other owls.He doesn't like wasting time on such things.
But this incident also made him understand the necessity of having an owl that can deliver letters by his side.For some letters, it is most appropriate to have the owl you trust to deliver them.
Thinking about it this way, whether it is Booker who was sent to spend the summer vacation with Taylor, or Doris who was left in the Forbidden Forest by Luke and handed over to Gan Wencui to train, although they all have their own roles.But in terms of sending letters, you still have to find an owl.
"Is this owl for sale?"
Luke looked at the handsome big owl, and asked the boss seriously.
Luke's sudden words stunned the boss, Fat Dudu, the fat on his cheeks turned up and down for a while, and then he turned his attention to Dumbledore.
"Don't look at me, he wants to buy it. If you want to sell it, just ask a suitable price. Or kill this kid severely, he is not short of money."
Dumbledore said bluntly.
This owl is indeed very beautiful. If Dumbledore hadn't used the phoenix to deliver the letter himself, he might be really greedy.
The boss looked at Luke's small body, and there was still this big guy on his arm that was much bigger than a normal owl, and said helplessly: "It's not that I can't give him to you, little guy, but this guy A little too aggressive."
Luke doesn't know much about owls, but the owl in front of him is covered in dark brown feathers, with a pair of sharp horns (with ear feather clusters) standing on the top of the head, yellow eyes, and thick black vertical lines on the chest and abdomen. There are stripes and horizontal spots, the legs are covered with feathers, the face is not obvious, and it is closer to an eagle.The length looks to be more than 70 centimeters, definitely a big guy.
"This is a woolly-legged fish owl, and it's the largest owl in my store. It's too fierce, and it may not be suitable for you."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, he saw Luke waving directly at his owl.
This owl, which I had just bought and was still a little unfamiliar with myself, flapped its wings and flew to Luke's side without saying a word, and then stood down on Luke's shoulder.
Those sharp claws couldn't scratch Luke's robe at all.
The boss suddenly realized that the kid in front of him was not easy to mess with, but at the same time, he was also a fat sheep worth slaughtering.
But before the boss could ask for a price, Luke took out a bulging money bag from his belt and threw it on the counter.
The moment the boss picked up the money bag from the counter, his face was full of joy, and he was even happier when he opened the money bag to see the shiny gold color. He stretched out his hand and stirred the coins inside, and found that they were all Galleons. At this time, his joy finally reached its peak.
"Send the letter now, sir?"
The smile on his face was flattering, leaving Dumbledore, an old acquaintance, speechless.
But in the end it is understandable.
After the owl that Luke had just named Yasin brought a letter, potion formula, and a copy of Dumbledore's keepsake Africa, two people, one old and one young, walked out of the small owl rental shop.
"You gave too much." Dumbledore couldn't hold back his complaint after all.
That's not the price to buy an owl at all, it's a price that can almost sell half an owl shop.
"I just took a purse out of my belt."
Lu Ketan said indifferently: "It's all the same if it's more or less. It's not easy to meet an owl that is pleasing to the eye."
"Happiness can be bought with money, and this deal couldn't be more cost-effective."
Dumbledore was speechless. He had never been so rich before, so it was hard to understand what such a rich man was thinking.
After waving the magic wand in his hand, the two disappeared from the spot again.
…………
"It's been a day! It's been a whole day! What are you doing for food!"
The seemingly young and capable French Minister of Magic snarled angrily at the head of the Auror office under him.
"You know the heir of the Gaunts, the only heir who was robbed in France, on the Boulevard de Topin, by the rats of Garnilon on the Boulevard de Topin! You know it's What concept?!"
The director of the Auror office looked solemn.He took out a handkerchief and wiped the spittle on his face, and then said helplessly: "We are already looking for it, but you don't know that Ganelon Black Street itself is much larger than Tobin Avenue. There was a mix of fish and dragons, all kinds of people. And we are not sure whether that person stayed on Ganelon Black Street, or used it as a transit point and escaped."
"This is a very troublesome job. We need more time and more people. Relying on my Auror office alone, do you want us to find it next year?"
His expression is fairly calm, but it can be seen that he is also full of resentment at this time.
"Then find someone who can explain to the group of masters who are busy seeking justice for their companions!" The Minister of Magic said angrily, "I remember that apart from the girl who came to the Strange family, there were no Are there any more people? Let them be handed over to the gentlemen to vent their anger."
"It's them, Minister. And you'd better drop the idea."
The director of the Auror office shook his head helplessly. How could he not use such a simple and commonly used method if it was easy to use.
"The report to you has been written before. In addition to Chris Lestrange, there are Madame Apolline Delacour and her two daughters, Fleur Delacour. and Gabrielle Delacour."
The Minister of Magic was about to speak immediately after hearing this, but was interrupted mercilessly by the head of the Auror office.
"Mrs. Apoline Delacour's name before she got married was Apoline Chandel. That half-veela Auror is well-known even in the Ministry now. Although she no longer holds the position of Auror , but believe me, if you don't want to offend a whole bunch of civil servants, you'd better leave her alone."
The Minister of Magic frowned, looking a little unwilling.After all, being frightened by such a woman who had only been an Auror seemed to embarrass the Minister of Magic.
So the director of the Auror Office could only continue to say: "When Fleur Delacour was dragged into the Ministry of Magic by us to cooperate with the investigation, Beauxbaton's principal, Madam Maxime, came to us almost immediately. Let’s get on the phone and let’s investigate before proceeding.”
"Minister, the Delacour family can be used as a scapegoat, but it must not be now."
Such a card can only be played when they really can't find anything, and the pressure from the nobles is not only felt by the minister and them.
It's not that you can't fight, it's just that timing is important.
"Then there is one more..."
"The remaining one is an employee of the Gunter family... A person in charge of the Gunter family came over to investigate immediately, and determined that this person had nothing to do with the disappearance of their family's head."
Xiaoxiong, the director of the Auror office, spread his hands: "I have no other choice. If you are really in such a hurry, why don't I take the blame and resign first?"
The Minister of Magic covered his forehead in pain, which could not be covered by a palm, and said in pain: "Isn't there no one in the Gaunt family!? How could there be a person in charge?"
The head of the Auror office just shook his head.
God knows what's going on with this kind of thing.
…………
"So what was the situation like?"
Gemma asked about the situation at that time again, frowning, as if trying to find some clues from Zhou.
And Ruth had no choice but to repeat the information she had said many times before.
His eyes were also scrutinizing his immediate boss in front of him.
His body shape is naturally the best of the best, and the clothes on his body are not the traditional bow wizard costumes, but the more convenient Muggle office attire.While it looks clean and neat, it also has a different kind of beauty.
The most important thing is... young, really too young, looks like he just graduated from school.But as far as Ruth knew, the assets managed by the person in front of her were quite an exaggerated amount.
If it wasn't for the fact that the boss of the Gunter family was too young, she would really have to wonder if there was any other relationship between these two people.
Emmm, think about it carefully, even though she is a little younger, it may not be impossible.
After all, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy probably likes an 18-year-old big sister too.
Now Gemma doesn't have the heart to think about how her subordinate arranges her leader in her heart.In a sense, it is the wisdom of leaders to accept the arrangement of subordinates, or even turn a blind eye to such things to a certain extent, and wait for the time to act.
There was a knock on the door, and Ruth stood up to open the door with great color, and invited three people in.
Gemma looked at the three beautiful mothers and daughters who were very similar but each had their own characteristics, and made a gesture of invitation.
The three people led by Apolline Delacour sat in front of Gemma without any panic. If they were placed a day ago, they might have been a little cautious.But at the end of the day, they have met many people that they would not normally see.
Including the head of the Strange family who never sees the end of the dragon.
This was also the first time that Fleur Delacour saw the luxury of nobility.
"Hi three, my name is Gemma Farley, and I am one of Luke Gunter's agents."
Gemma greeted the three people very politely, and then said helplessly: "I'm sorry to involve you in this kind of thing, but please rest assured, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I called you here this time, I just want to learn more about the situation."
Apolline Delacour said helplessly: "We have said the relevant news many times, but since you asked, let's say it again, but it's best to be the last time."
Although the words in her mouth were a bit resentful, Madame Delacour's tone was not tough.Because she also knew that they were all right now because it wasn't too long and there was Beauxbaton's help.And such a question is certainly not something that can be easily stopped.
"I really didn't expect that I just wanted to do a good thing, and there would be such a result."
Madame Delacour said with some self-mockery.
"No, please rest assured that the situation you imagine will never happen."
Gemma said helplessly, "Because Luke will be fine."
"After all, Dumbledore hasn't appeared yet."
Afterwards, Gemma communicated with Mrs. Delacour about the situation at that time, her tone was calm and calm, but the questions she asked were always straight to the point, and she never said a word of nonsense.
Gabriel on the side looked boredly at the quill she was writing on the table.And Furong looked at the radiant and confident Gemma in front of her.The woman's appearance was slightly inferior to hers.But this kind of temperament is something she doesn't have.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really easy to use, download .yeguoyuedu here, everyone can try it quickly. 】
And this kind of temperament, high above, calm and capable, made her yearn for it.
And at this moment, a paper airplane flew in from the window and unfolded on the table in front of Gemma.
Gemma took a look, then let out a long sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on her face.
"Okay, the backbone is finally back."
"Backbone?" Furong thought to herself with some doubts, "Is that the child?"
Recalling that good-looking little boy, looking at the woman in front of her, Fu Rong was a little strange for a while.
What kind of magical power does that Luke have?
"Don't worry! Our owls are the fastest in France!"
With a confident face, the boss patted his chest and said solemnly.
Luke looked at the old owl behind the boss, whose wings were withered to the same degree as the boss's head, with a look of suspicion.
