Chapter 222 Gaunt's Old House

Luke looked at the ring embryo in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Very well, your workmanship makes me feel that I am getting my money's worth."
This ring looks like two snakes, one gold and one silver, are intertwined. These two snakes look at each other at the top of the ring, as if they are going to support something.
And a simple but clean old man sitting in front of Luke shook his head and said: "Mr. Gunter, you still gave too much money. To be honest, when I learned that real magic gold can be smelted, I have already decided that this order can not be charged. But you still generously gave me a reward that far exceeds what I should get. "
The old man said seriously to Luke: "I sincerely feel your gift."
Luke waved his hand and said, "If enough money is enough to make my people obey me and is the only factor affecting their enthusiasm, then I'm happy to give them a high enough salary."
"But normal people are not like this. They have other desires. Whether it is their own ideal pursuit or other things, in short, while they need money, they feel that they need more than money."
"Of course I don't have to give you money. But to be honest, since I don't have any shortage, there's no need for me to hinder your hidden desire because of a little money, right?"
Luke smiled lightly, and put away the ring embryo in his hand.He waved goodbye to the old man.
"I really hope you find jewelry to match this ring."
The old man's tone was very sincere, and he didn't seem to be joking or joking.
"You know, normal magic gemstones are not worthy of such a luxurious ring embryo. If the difference between the two is too large, it will only lower the overall style of the ring. And your own style."
Luke didn't look back, he waved his hand at the door to indicate that he knew, and then walked out of the room.
The old man in the store shook his head helplessly: "Do whatever you want, tsk, that's great."
After finishing speaking, he continued to hang the dragon skin apron on his body, and then walked to the back room to start making the next piece of jewelry.
Taylor standing at the door looked at the sign in front of him without saying a word.
Until Luke came out and shook in front of her eyes: "Hey, I'm back!"
Only then did Taylor react, and then looked at Luke and the ring embryo in his hand.
"You actually came to the 'Old Man' to make jewelry! Which little girl are you planning to give it to? Could it be that you went to the United States and solved your own lifelong affairs by the way? Oh no, maybe it was settled in France? I heard Senior Gemma said, you met a young lady from the Strange family in France, and a beauty with succubus blood who is slightly older than us?"
A basket of questions spit out from Taylor's mouth like a cannonball, and each question seemed to be a question.
But Luke wasn't angry, he just glanced at Taylor, who also had a strange expression, with a strange expression.Then he lightly hit Taylor on the head with the priceless ring embryo in his hand.
"You still have a lot of thoughts at such a young age." Luke looked at Taylor, who was pretending to be covering his head, and said helplessly, "No! Although these two journeys have allowed me to meet a lot of different people Beauty. But how can the position of the mistress of the Gunter family be so easily decided."
Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but think of the woman who appeared in his dream.Only a woman as good as his mother can take on the role of mistress of the Gaunt family.
Taylor glanced at Luke, looked hard, and then stared blankly at the shadow of a woman.This took her by surprise.Then she discovered that the woman's appearance was half as imaginable as Luke's.This gave her a big sigh of relief.
Looks like Luke's mom.
But then a troubled look appeared on her face.
Of course Luke noticed a series of changes in Taylor's expression, but he couldn't quite understand what the little girl was thinking for a while.But he could feel that Taylor had read his heart just for a moment.
"Your Legilimency ability has improved." Luke nodded, and then asked as he walked beyond Diagon Alley, "How is your ability to prophesy? Do you have any new gains?"
Taylor nodded: "I have been able to see some novel pictures in my dreams from time to time. Some of them symbolize the future, while others represent the past. And those pictures that symbolize the future just represent a kind of Possibility. I have to seriously screen it out."
Speaking of this, Taylor said helplessly: "How to tell whether it is correct or not is indeed very troublesome. No wonder prophets and prophets are among the most difficult professions to do."
Taylor's sigh was sincere, but it always felt like it was in Versailles.It is true that not everyone thinks that being able to see the future is a good thing for them.
But when there is such an opportunity to see the future in front of them, basically no one can justly reject it.
Even most people can hardly refuse.
"I think you are good enough. It's not that I haven't seen other prophets, and there are even some prophecy spells in my home library. But they don't talk about accuracy, and even what they see It’s piecemeal. That’s why many prophets talk like magic sticks.”
Ordinary seers can see omens, symbols.Fragmented and scattered pictures.The future can form a relatively complete picture and appear in front of my eyes.This cannot be said to be an extraordinary performance for the average prophet.They didn't even dare to dream that such a good thing would happen.
"Don't change the subject, I've been misled by you." Taylor suddenly lowered his voice, and asked Luke seriously, "Who is this ring for?"
"For my own use."
Luke gives an answer that satisfies Tyler but is a little bit disappointing.But Luke wasn't going to make some jokes just to please Tyler.
"I'm going to use this thing as a carrier for one of the three treasures of the Gunter family."
Luke didn't hide from Tyler either.If anyone in this world is the human being he trusts the most, then it must be Taylor.The relationship between the two people has finally been maintained in the past year.And Taylor also used his sincerity and patience to wipe away the distrust and suspicion in Luke's heart little by little. ..."What are the other two wands in your hand?" Taylor was a little curious, but also a little shocked, "Do you actually have two other treasures of the same level as that wand?!"
The power of the Slytherin wand really opened Taylor's eyes.She has always believed that a wand is a tool in the hands of a wizard.And because the manufacturing process is basically similar.And it's not just a pile of materials, good results can be achieved by using a lot of precious materials, so she never felt that the gap between the wands would be so huge.
Of course, this is also because the quality of the wand in Taylor's hand is also very good.That's why she was among a group of guys in Slytherin, and she never felt that there was too much gap between wands.
Ron really has something to say.
He really thinks Taylor is talking nonsense.There is a greater difference between a wand and a wand than there is between a wand and a tachyon!
"I can't understand it that way. It can only be said that in terms of importance, these three things are signs of the noble blood of the Gunter family."
Luke patiently explained to Taylor: "You have to know, they are all passed down from Slytherin and older ancestors. In a sense, they can be regarded as things like the identity certificate of the Gunter family. .”
"Basically every noble family has one or several of these treasures. There are all kinds of things, and it's hard to say what it is."
Taylor glanced at Luke clutching it in his hand, threw the ring embryo up and down and said, "So, the treasure you are going to get is a gem?"
There are all kinds of strange things that can be placed in the middle of the ring.But most of them still focus on gems.At the same time, she also wants to know what kind of gem can become the treasure of the Gunter family.You know, according to Luke's past personality, a gem the size of a pigeon egg is nothing in his eyes.Even magic gems the size of eggs can be used as consumables for him.
"Emmm, there's nothing wrong with this understanding."
Luke did not deny such a point of view, but he had no intention of telling Taylor the answer immediately.
"Why don't you try to prophesy yourself?"
Luke said with a joke: "I'm going to take you to the ancestral house now, why don't you take a look for yourself? See if there is any picture that appears in front of your eyes."
"You are dreaming during the day!" Taylor said to Luke angrily, "I have already said that you can only see some pictures in your dreams when you fall asleep, and not every dream can be seen. You know Is it? Sometimes I have to distinguish myself, which one is my wild imagination and which one is the revelation from the future."
Luke recalled the prophecy that Grindelwald saw in the movie of his previous life, and shook his head silently.
It seems that the old man Grindelwald is far more gifted in prophecy than ordinary people.If Taylor is considered a rare prophetic genius, after all, her talent inheritance has already surpassed 90.00% of [-] prophets.
But Grindelwald is still better than Taylor.
It has to be said that such a person can make people feel at ease when they are friends, but once they become enemies, they will make people feel really desperate. ..."However, when I awaken my talent again, according to the family records, I should not have to rely on dreams as prophecies." Taylor seemed to see Luke's disappointment, so he made a picture of Luke Said, "At that time, I can see the picture of the future on the calm water."
Luke touched his chin, then nodded heavily: "That's really amazing."
So Taylor smiled smugly.
While the two were talking, they had already walked out of Diagon Alley. At the entrance of the alley, Luke took out the portkey and held Taylor's hand. In an instant, the two disappeared in place.
A group of passers-by were surprised.Portkey transmission is rare though.After all, this seems a bit extravagant.But it is also a way, not worthy of their surprise.
The next moment, Luke and Taylor appeared between the two steep hills in Little Hangleton. The house was half hidden among the tangled trees. The walls were covered with moss and the roof tiles were scattered. Or where the rafters were exposed, and the nettles grew thickly all around the house, and the tall nettles reached the windows, which were very small and thick with old grime, and there was a strip nailed to the door of the cottage. S-shaped dead snake.
The overall look is dilapidated and desolate. Not only does it fail to see the dignity of the pure blood of the Gunter family, it even makes people feel dirty and decadent.
"Is this Gaunt's ancestral home?"
Taylor heard about Gaunt's final downfall from his grandma.But the Gaunt family she met from the beginning was the perfect noble in every sense.She didn't feel the embarrassment of the Gunter family at all.
"The ancestral house? No, no, this is Gaunt's old house. Not the ancestral house."
Luke said frankly: "The ancestral house was sold by those bastards. In the end, they only left this marginal property because they couldn't sell it. And they really needed a place to shelter from the wind and rain. "
Taylor was momentarily embarrassed.Although she herself is not noble.But she also went to school in Slytherin.What Slytherin students love to compare with is not whose manor is bigger and more luxurious.But whose ancestral home has a longer history and is better preserved.
Good guy, the ancestral home is sold.This is the standard unfilial offspring!
"Then have you bought back the ancestral house now?"
Taylor asked tentatively.
Luke shook his head and said, "No. But don't think too much about it. It was my parents who bought the ancestral house back then. How could it be possible to really watch those bastards ruin the inheritance of our ancestors..."
Luke shook his head helplessly.But what happened after that was too messy.It's not easy for their family to intervene.It can only be to buy the items of the Gunter family at a high price in the dark.
None of the Gaunt family treasures were sold on the market.Basically all of them were bought back by their family members.
Except that locket.
Hell, they didn't even find the location of the locket in the end.
That was the real legacy of Slytherin.The same thing as Ravenclaw's diadem!
Merope Gaunt, pure prodigal daughter!
Such a locket was sold to the Bojin family for only 10 Galleons.
Fortunately, Luke now knows where that thing is.It's a pity that it's not easy to get that thing now.If I remember correctly, that thing is still on Umbridge's pink toad.
But don't worry.This thing will definitely return to his hands.He can even take things back openly.
After all, if he wants to buy that thing back, basically no one will stop him.
If Umbridge herself wouldn't, Fudge would make her.
"Let's go, follow me closely. Although this place looks dilapidated, there are still many dangerous magics cast by some bastard."
Luke said with a look of disgust: "That bastard, he is just like his grandfather and uncle."
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
