Chapter 271 271. The Ministry of Magic also came to an end

Before Rimbaud returned, Scott had packed the contents of Fletch's leather bag.

He obtained several inferior magic props, a bunch of strange materials, and some items with unknown uses.

Except for the materials, everything else looks old and even many are damaged.

Apparently, the origin of these things is unknown.

After sorting out all the things in categories, Scott waved his wand to repair the damage to the floors and furniture in the cabin.

Rimbaud returns to the forest before Scott's dinner.

Since it cannot enter the house hidden by the Red Loyalty Charm, it can only linger and call in the tree crown.

Scott flew out on his broom and picked it up.

While Scott eats dinner, Rimbaud tells him about Mr. Borgin's funeral.

According to Rimbaud, the first half of Mr. Borgin's funeral was deserted.

Except for the members of the Bock family who looked expressionless and showed no sadness, there were very few other guests attending the funeral.

"The Bok family does not welcome those dishonorable guests!"

Rimbaud vividly imitated the speech of some people in the Burke family.

"Although most of the wizards Uncle Caractacus comes into contact with are guys wallowing in the quagmire, he can only represent himself."

"I don't want him to be buried as Mr. Borgin of Knockturn Alley. When he goes to meet death, he should be Karaktakus Bork of the Bork family."

"Of course, I don't think those guys who are used to hiding in dark corners will show up rashly."

In short, the Bok family stopped many wizards who wanted to attend the funeral, and only received some guests who were also pure-blood wizards.

"It seems I made a miscalculation earlier." Scott said, "Even if I disguise myself as a dark wizard from Knockturn Alley, I still can't get into the funeral."

While eating, he listened to Rimbaud's vivid narration with great interest.

"You said this was the first half of the funeral?" he asked curiously.

"That's right." Rimbaud seemed a little excited. "The second half of the funeral refers to after the burial. By that time, the guests had already left, but the Bok family almost fought with each other!"

"Well……"

Scott wiped his mouth and immediately understood what was going on.

He asked casually, "Are they competing for Mr. Borkin's inheritance?"

Rimbaud said: "Yes, although they all seem to look down on Mr. Borkin's black magic shop, everyone wants it!"

It cannot understand the complex psychology of those members of the Bock family.

"Mr. Borgin's legacy?" Scott asked with interest. "I don't think it's easy for those guys who look down on Knockturn Alley to inherit that store."

"Why?" Rimbaud asked curiously.

Scott waved his wand to clear away the tableware and answered it at the same time, "I think it is definitely very dangerous to enter a black magic shop without the owner's permission. If they want to take over the shop safely, they must call in experts." go."

Moreover, in the days after Mr. Borgin's death, a thief might have visited the store more than once.

After all, it was Knockturn Alley.

To say the least, even if the Bok family successfully took over the store, they would not be considered to have inherited Mr. Bojin's legacy.

For a black magic shop located in Knockturn Alley, the purchasing and shipping channels that Mr. Borgin once mastered were more fundamental than the items in that shop.

In this semi-underground industry, if you are not familiar with the rules of the industry and cannot master useful resources, you will not be able to survive for a long time.

Scott explained a lot, but Rimbaud seemed to understand.

It is just a simple raven, unable to understand the complexity of human society.

It asked Scott, "Why are you so sure no one in the Burke family will inherit the store?"

Scott said: "It is really foolish for the Bork family to refuse to allow Mr. Borkin's 'old friends' to attend his funeral. They are clearly abandoning the personal connections that belonged to Mr. Borkin."

He was already certain that even if the guys from the Bock family fought hard, they would only be able to get some stuff from the store at most.

It was clear that the store could no longer survive.

Of course, Scott himself was just talking on paper.

It's just that... when Scott came back to his senses, he felt that he was giving advice to his own transfiguration products, which seemed a bit sad...

So he quickly lost the ability to talk about sex.

For the next two days, Scott stayed quietly in the hut, studying his transformation technique, and made no other movements.

Of course, the crows kept bringing him all kinds of news.

The Yaxley brothers were attacked on their doorstep, and the news of the death of the new dueling champion Jak Yaxley has spread throughout the British wizarding world.

Scott felt that if possible, the Yaxley family would not want this matter to spread so widely.

But the story was so bizarre that some pervasive journalists took a keen interest in it.

That's right, it's Rita Skeeter who keeps trying to die but just doesn't die.

This veteran reporter seems to be full of ideas lately, and has written many extremely exciting articles in the daily and evening newspapers in the past two days.

She first made a bold and wonderful hypothesis about the poisoning of the Yaxley brothers from many aspects such as vendetta, love killing, brothers killing each other... etc.

Later, she related this incident to the poisoning and death of Mr. Borkin and told a wonderful story.

Later, she linked these two incidents with Travers' death in Azkaban and wrote an extremely tortuous and bizarre story.

Later, she also added the death of Jasmine Travers.

She believed that this was a plan for the Travers family's property.

It was also a sinister conspiracy that started last Christmas and spanned more than half a year.

Someone or a family, in order to obtain the Travers family's property, first designed to get rid of Travers' heir Jasmine Travers, and then poisoned the last Travers in Azkaban a few months later.

From her words, it can be seen that she is hinting to everyone that the planner of the conspiracy is either the Bulstrode family or the Fry family.

Scott followed her several reports like a serial, and was very impressed by her wild imagination.

He felt that Rita Skeeter's report came too timely!

It was like unconsciously cooperating with Scott's plan.

Not only that, these reports also helped Scott completely pass the blame for Jasmine Travers' death before Christmas last year to others.

But Scott would not be grateful to Miss Skeeter.

He just sighed and muttered, "It seems that the Travers family's inheritance is too tempting. Now the Ministry of Magic is also down... Is there no money to prepare for the Quidditch World Cup next year?"
