Butt?
Jack narrowed his eyes slightly.
When talking about famous families in China, the Rothschild family may be the first thing that comes to mind.
Then there's the royal family.
The Bute family, although not as famous as the above-mentioned families, is also a very famous family in the country.
The history of its fortune is probably from 1766, starting from Lord John.
It has been more than 200 years.
It's a very wealthy family.
One more thing, why do people in European and American countries always like to put the names of their ancestors on their descendants?
Check it out.
My ancestor's name was John, but now his grandson's grandson is also named John.
Really are……
Okay, those are all digressions.
In fact, Jack knew that John's surname was Bute and that his family was very wealthy.
I didn't expect that it would really be related to the Bute family.
Judging from his title, he might be a member of a branch family.
perhaps?
After complicated thoughts flashed through his heart, Jack saluted and said: "Hello, Lord Baron. Thank you for agreeing to my visit this time."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mr. Butt waved his hand, "By the way, you are a wizard, right? We don't need to go through those red tapes. In fact, I am not used to those scenes."
He seems easy to get along with.
While saying hello to sit down, he took out a drink from the wine cabinet next to him.
"Do you like Muggle drinks? Or do you have special needs? Or is it alcohol?" He said, throwing a bottle towards John, "I wonder if underage wizards should give up drinking?"
John quickly took it.
Jack glanced at it and saw it was Coke.
The kind that comes in a classic glass bottle.
John bit open the bottle cap with his teeth, and then there was a meal...
From his posture, you can't tell that he is a rich young man.
"If there's juice, let's have some orange juice." Jack didn't mean to be polite.
The more polite you are now, the more disrespectful you seem.
Of course you have to let go a little bit.
"That's easy."
Mr. Boot walked to the door himself, gave the old butler a few instructions, and then closed the door.
The space here is large, the decoration is luxurious and elegant, and it also has some quirks.
In addition to the bookshelves with vines that you can see as soon as you enter, there are also lotus flowers snaking out from the crystal skull.
There is a lotus pond in the room.
The literal kind.
I dug it in a corner of the room and poured water into it.
There are some lotus flowers growing in the pool.
It's obviously not the season for lotuses to bloom, but it's weird to see lotuses in full bloom.
What's even more remarkable is that this lotus flower grows out of the crystal skull.
The leaves grew tenaciously from the eye area, which looked extremely strange.
Mr. Boot caught Jack's gaze.
He smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a knock on the door.
"come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old housekeeper pushed open the door and entered.
He was holding a tray with a glass of orange juice on it.
This was obviously what Jack had asked for.
Jack thanked the old butler and took the juice.
After the old butler exited the room and closed the door again, Jack took the initiative and said: "The Baron seems to be very interested in things in the wizarding world."
"You don't need to call me Lord Baron." Mr. Bute waved his hand. "It's easier to call me Mr. Bute than Lord Baron."
Judging from his expression, he seemed to be really annoyed by those etiquettes.
"I'm rude, Mr. Butt." Jack responded with a smile and took a sip of orange juice.
Sweet and sour.
The taste is very good.
"That's right." Mr. Butt nodded, "As for your question just now, in the wizarding world...who hasn't had similar fantasies when they were young?"
"The evil fire-breathing dragon, the kidnapped princess, the dragon-slaying warrior, and that magical magic..."
Mr. Boot said in a nostalgic tone.
“When I was little, I also thought that it would be great if I could use magic.
To take a step back, even if you can't be Merlin who uses magic, it's still good to be King Arthur with Merlin's assistance.
It's a pity that the dream is just a dream.
I originally thought that even if there were some mysterious existences in this world, at most they were just strange phenomena that science could not explain.
We never expected that there would be a chance for a wizard to appear in our home.
I never expected that magic actually existed. "
Jack listened quietly.
No matter who you are, you are not born 50 years old.
They all grew up as babies, and they all went through the age of dreaming.
Before time travel, even if Jack had never imagined magic when he was a child...
I will also fantasize about whether there are really immortals in this world and whether there is really a way to cultivate immortality.
"Oh, it's a pity. Even if magic is real, I'm not a wizard." Mr. Butt looked at his son enviously, "It's good for you, you are actually a wizard."
"What do you want? Do you want me to help you defeat the evil dragon?" John curled his lips and said, "Look at your body, I'm afraid you will be slapped away when you see the evil dragon."
"Magic is so amazing, there's always a way." Mr. Butt laughed.
He didn't mind John's teasing at all.
"Maybe, Muggles can also use magic." His eyes were shining.
This was obviously down to business, so Jack immediately answered: "Mr. Boot, what do you think about this?"
"You mean turning Muggles into wizards?"
"Yes."
"Well..." Mr. Butt scratched his head, "Although I have some ideas, I am not a wizard and cannot test them."
"Already have specific ideas for renovation?" Jack was surprised by Mr. Boot's efficiency.
The idea of turning Muggles into wizards is not new at all.
It exists from ancient times.
At the beginning, it may be that wizards want their Muggle partners to become wizards, or they may be some ambitious people who want to artificially cultivate more wizards.
All in all, a long time ago, someone tried to turn Muggles into wizards.
Unfortunately, after so many years, no one has succeeded.
Let alone Muggles becoming wizards, there are still such things as squibs in the wizarding world.
It was a creature born from the union of a wizard and a wizard. It had the blood of a wizard but did not have the ability to activate spells.
The wizard couldn't even make the Squib a real wizard.
Not to mention making Muggles wizards.
"The idea is not difficult, but the difficult thing is whether it can be successful in actual implementation." Mr. Butt shook his head.
"The transformation plan... is that your idea alone, or..." Jack meant something.
"It's a think tank." Mr. Butt said calmly, "The plan they came up with."
"Is a think tank suitable for this?" Jack didn't believe it.
What is a think tank?
Think tanks are modern staff groups.
He is a dog-headed strategist, a staff officer, a think tank, and a counselor.
But they are not scientists or medical scientists.
How could they be allowed to make up their minds on how to modify the human body?
Isn't that nonsense?
Pure nonsense.
