Chapter 350: Gold in the book
"There are really not many candidates." Mr. Browder was not angry, but said with a smile, "But, don't you have two suitable geniuses this time? Of course, Katrina's talent is actually pretty barely enough. I just don’t know what my personality is like."
"Talk about the benefits of inheriting this surname!"
"Benefits?" Mr. Browder touched his beard. "The biggest benefit is that you will have the opportunity to read the knowledge left over from the Wildsmith family for hundreds of years. Every heir is a genius and will leave behind. The things you do best."
At this moment, Albert finally understood why Isobel would say in the letter that he should agree, which was indeed very attractive to him.
"Of course, you will get a sum of money, a house of your own, oh, you have already seen the house, yes, it is here." Mr. Broad was very casual when talking about the latter. It seems to be something unimportant.
"These are actually not important, because those who can be selected will not lack these things. We just push you a step behind to make you go faster and smoother, nothing more."
"If I agree, what do I have to pay?" Albert asked, "I don't think there is a free lunch in the world."
"There are some responsibilities, but it's actually very easy."
Mr. Broad smiled happily. He knew he had successfully convinced Albert, and almost no one would reject such an offer.
"The first point, you need to keep a secret about this, and you can't tell anyone, even your relatives." Mr. Broad put up a second finger and said, "Second point, choose the right person. , That is, the heir you are talking about, and when cultivating the next generation, you must work hard and not be selfish. The last point is to leave your knowledge before you die."
"Nothing?" Albert was shocked, as if he was really earning blood!
"No, that's it, the responsibility is easy." Mr. Broad nodded: "Most of them are actually good, because most of the people selected are smart, and they usually don't refuse. You probably I know why I wouldn't refuse it, because there is no harm at all, and there are still a lot of benefits for nothing."
"If you take the liberty to ask, why would you agree?" Albert hesitated for a moment, or asked.
"Why? Don't you find that hundreds of years of knowledge accumulation are very attractive?" Mr. Broad blinked and said, "A large part of the knowledge has even been lost."
"Well, when can I see those things?" Albert agreed. Mr. Browder's words are indeed very attractive. The knowledge left by countless geniuses is their best field. For the hanging Albert, it is simply a golden mountain.
Others may only be able to select and absorb some knowledge, but Albert is ready to turn all that knowledge into his own nutrition.
"Originally, you need to enter Wildsmith’s castle to have a chance to read those books, but after discussing with a few others, I allow you to read the books there, but Wildsmith’s castle needs to wait for you to become an adult and truly inherit this. Only the surname can be allowed in." Mr. Broad said.
"The castle hasn't been discovered yet?" Albert asked in surprise, "You guys hide it very well, is it a loyalty curse?"
"Why do you say that?" Mr. Browder asked in surprise.
"You said that only wizards who inherited the surname of Wildsmith can be allowed in there. Others will never be able to find that place." Albert said of his guess, "If it were I would use the Curse of Courageous Loyalty, of Courageous Loyalty. The characteristic of the curse is that if the secret person dies, other insiders will automatically become secret persons. There are only a few members of the Wildsmith family, and few people know your identity, so naturally others will never be found. "
"Wonderful." Mr. Brod couldn't help but applaud, and directly admitted, "It's indeed a loyalty spell."
"I have a question."
"You said it." Mr. Browder listened with respect.
"The founder of Wildsmith is Ignacia Wildsmith, the inventor of Floo fans?" Albert asked his doubts.
"You really have found it." Mr. Browder was not surprised by this. "The surname Wild Smith actually comes from Ignacia Wild Smith's father: Will de Smith. "
"Sure enough, I saw this name in Ravenclaw's secret room." Albert connected a lot of things. "By the way, what about the descendants of Ignacia Wildsmith? "
"We are his descendants." Professor Brod said flatly: "Every selected person has a blood relationship with this surname, and the selected person not only needs blood, but also has enough There should be no problem with his wisdom and personality."
"I thought the Smith family was her direct descendant." Albert couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"The inheritance of bloodlines is very unreliable. You should have realized that the descendants of the Big Four of Hogwarts have disappeared in a long period of time. Many ancient families are weakening, and only we are still very strong." Speaking of this, Mr. Browd's tone was with unconcealable pride. "Every Wild Smith is a genius, and only a genius is eligible to inherit the surname Wild Smith."
"Why did Mr. Rowena fail?"
"Because we voted, we all think he is inappropriate." Mr. Broad told a cruel fact.
"Mr. Gerber Smith is the same?"
"I said, when we choose people, we never show any favoritism." Mr. Broad shook his head.
"It seems that I have good luck!" Albert laughed at himself.
"No, because you are really suitable." Mr. Broad said, "We decided together, so there is nothing wrong."
"I'm curious why Rowena Smith failed?" Albert recalled what Rowena was like at the time, frowning and said, "I think he became like that, half of it was caused by you."
"This incident was originally a secret." Mr. Broad shook his head: "Even if we get clues from some records, it is actually useless. We will not help but spare no effort to train those talented people. However, this does not mean that they That's right."
"Rovenner's talent is actually pretty good, but his character is too bad, especially for doing things like that." Mr. Brod said of this incident in a cold tone, "Actually, you should also realize that we It’s not urgent to inherit that surname, it is a dispensable existence for us, because we are all talented enough, even without its brilliance and help, we can go far."
"Where is Isabel's father?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"Brel, the talent is not as good as Rowenner, and... it was considered inappropriate by everyone a long time ago." Professor Brod recalled: "Under normal circumstances, we will make friendly contacts with them. We have a good relationship as we were originally."
"I suddenly sympathize with Rowena Smith!" Albert laughed at himself.
Isobel’s father’s death was mostly Rowena Smith’s responsibility, and that guy felt guilty about it.
It turned out to be like this.
"No, you don't need to sympathize with him." Mr. Broad shook his head and said, "Since he did that, I can't blame others for this kind of end."
"Last question~www.NovelMTL.com~When can I see what I want?" Albert looked at Mr. Broad and said.
"I brought you a copy!" Mr. Broad pointed to a wooden box next to him and said.
I don't know why, the box in front of him gives Albert a strange sense of familiarity.
"Is the book inside?" he asked.
"Yes, it's inside."
When Albert opened the box, he felt like he was going to be blinded.
There is a book in the box, a book made of metal.
"This is brass? No, this is...gold?"
Albert looked at Mr. Broad in disbelief, "Is this gold...book?"
"It's not all gold. There are some silver and a small amount of other metals in it." Mr. Broad said with a grin: "At the beginning, I was stunned by this stuff. You can believe that there are a lot of things in a castle. Are books made of gold and silver?"
"You are so rich!" Albert said dryly. He waved his magic wand and flew out of the golden book box and landed on the tilted desk in front of him.
"Knowledge is more precious." Mr. Broad said softly. "Moreover, we never lack money."
"You picked this book specifically for me?" Albert read about the manufacturing method of double-sided mirror in the book. Obviously, the owner of this book is the former manufacturer of double-sided mirror.
Albert found this line on the back of the writing:
I will leave my life's knowledge in the book, latecomers, I hope you can find your own happiness in the book. ——Brel Burst.
