The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 572: Mansion / Former Residence

Link's expression was similar to Emily's.

Knowing Muggle history, he even felt like an envoy when he came to Versailles to meet the "Sun King Louis XIV".

Just like a country bumpkin.

Luckily Link was not Charles II.

After seeing the flowery world and luxury of France, he couldn't extricate himself. After being restored, he began to recreate the fashion of France.

For Link, excessive luxury and extravagance are a bad phenomenon.

It often represents that a kingdom has been corrupted from within.

Like Louis XIV and Li Longji.

Both the Bourbon and Tang dynasties were culturally advanced in their hands.

Also open to the extreme.

The upper-class aristocrats don't do **** almost every day, and they are all drunk and dreaming.

But the result?

The Tang Dynasty and the Bourbon Dynasty also began to decline from Li Longji and Louis XIV.

Link will not repeat the mistakes of these people.

It is indeed necessary to carry out cultural development properly, especially to learn from a beautiful country that is now carrying out cultural export and ideological brainwashing around the world.

But it's just pure luxury.

That doesn't make any sense.

But he thought so, but in the face of all the extravagance in front of him, Link was still intensely curious about the owner of this manor.

What kind of person can be so extravagant?

In Link's curiosity, the carriage slowly landed on a clearing behind the manor.

This should be the place in the manor to park the flying carriage or provide flying vehicles such as broomsticks to land.

There are even many lines on the ground that provide landing assistance.

Old Clay waited until Link, Emily, and the others got out of the car, and reached out to untie the reins of the Pegasus, wanting to take these Pegasus to the stables not far away for trimming and eating.

But Dumbledore stopped him.

Under the incomprehensible gaze of old Kled, Dumbledore smiled slightly, and then snapped his fingers lightly.

"click-"

The crisp mechanical movement sounded from the direction of the stables.

Immediately afterwards, a square robot emerged from the wall of the stable, changed its legs and six mechanical arms, and walked towards it waving.

It squeezed out old Kled who was in the way, and then skillfully untied the reins, and led the Pegasus to the stable, and then fed and watered.

As he worked, music was even playing in the circular mesh holes in his chest, as if to soothe the horses.

This scene was stunned for Old Kled and Link.

Although it looks weird.

But this looks like a robot specially made to serve horses and other livestock.

They have never seen this kind of high-end alchemy technology in the country!

"Don't be stunned, let's go inside."

Dumbledore smiled slightly and took the lead in walking towards the villa not far away.

Link and Emily also reacted immediately and hurriedly followed.

Several people walked all the way through the garden, through the set aisle, and finally entered the main hall of the villa.

In this not long process, Emily was amazed more than ten times.

No way, the interior decoration and scenery of the manor are far beyond human imagination.

From a small floor tile to an entire garden, there are special alchemy robots taking care of them.

With the efforts of these robots, every detail has been deducted to the extreme, and this whole area is full of a unique temperament that coexists with a modern and retro style.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

Not to mention the inside of the villa.

To describe it with splendor is an insult to it.

Compared with this place, the golden hall of the Ministry of Magic in the country is like a public toilet.

Link is better.

In the end, he is still a summer person. What he really likes is the kind of low-key luxury, the family of small bridges and flowing water, and the tranquility of Suzhou gardens where people and nature coexist in harmony.

The endless sea of ​​irises in this manor, the brightly colored European-style gardens and the magnificent palace-like decoration style are equally beautiful in his opinion, but they always have a taste of nouveau riche, as if they were made of gold. The finished Baba.

Although equally valuable, even the appearance can be said to be quite beautiful.

But there is no artistic flair.

Emily and old Clay are different.

As people in the unified cultural circle, the scenery in this manor is completely based on their aesthetics.

Right now, one by one, they have been confused and almost lost their minds.

Dumbledore understood their reaction very well, letting them keep checking in the main hall of the villa.

And he himself snapped his fingers out of thin air.

With a crisp sound echoing in the empty main hall, an alchemy robot came out.

Compared with the robots that serve horses and livestock and take care of gardens outside, the robot in front of me is obviously more human-like in appearance.

Whether it is the number of limbs or the appearance and size, it is similar to a normal human being.

Moreover, it was also put on a housekeeper's suit, and its temperament and movements during walking were almost the same as those of a human housekeeper.

"Help us prepare the room and prepare some lunch by the way."

Dumbledore spoke slowly.

Hearing that, the robot butler nodded respectfully, and then continued to walk away with that solemn step.

"Alchemy robots can still do this kind of work?"

Old Klie's throat wriggled and he couldn't help asking.

He has always been the most competent and central butler of the Foley family.

Almost all of the Foley family's matters are ordered through him.

This is absolutely impossible for other families.

Because under this set of operating rules, if the big butler has any other thoughts, the entire family will suffer disaster.

That is his old Klie!

Served the Foley family for three and a half generations (Mrs. Foley can only be regarded as half the patriarch in the eyes of old Klie)!

You have been loyal all your life, and you have proved your loyalty with time and facts. Only then can you enjoy such a great honor and trust!

This has always been something Old Klie should be proud of!

But now, Old Klie felt a strong crisis from the previous robot!

How can people trust robots.

No matter how loyal a person is, as long as there is a human heart, it is not absolutely loyal.

And if the alchemy robot can really do the job like a housekeeper, will Link choose to bring a robot housekeeper back to take his place?

This is not impossible.

After all, Link just said not long ago that he wanted him to retire and enjoy himself.

Old Kled knew that from Link's position, this was an absolute good intention.

I want him to be able to enjoy his old age without any worries.

But that's not the case for Old Clay.

As a house elf, although he has abandoned most of the habits and ideas of house elf.

But some things are deeply imprinted in his DNA.

The so-called power and responsibility have long been integrated into his life.

Dying in the process of fulfilling his power and responsibilities was his most desired ending.

Therefore, he had a hunch that if he was really enjoying his old age.

I'm afraid it won't last a year.

But these things can't be told to Link.

There are some words, only when Link comprehends himself is called comprehension.

From what he said, the taste was different.

Dumbledore and Old Kled just met, and naturally they would not understand each other's mind. They only felt that Old Kled wanted to bring one back, so he shook his head and said:

"You don't want to play it. Although it looks very intelligent, in fact, it just follows the programmed program. If the pre-set commands are not applied, it will not listen at all. Knows what you're talking about. So it's no substitute for human stewardship."

Old Klie heaved a sigh of relief.

Link and Emily were even more curious.

Even if the butler robot has flaws as Dumbledore said.

But this is already a very powerful technology, far from what ordinary people or ordinary rich people can possess.

Emily and Link looked at each other and stepped forward:

"Professor Dumbledore, then who is the owner of this manor?"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then said leisurely:

"Strictly speaking, the owner of this manor should be me."

Hearing that, Link and Emily, as well as old Kled, were taken aback.

In fact, they had imagined countless names before Dumbledore answered.

Even if Dumbledore replied that this was an antique manor left by the Big Four, they would not have any surprises.

But in any case, they never thought that this manor would be Dumbledore's own.

You know, Dumbledore has always given the impression of being reclusive, not fond of fame, and not tired of family wealth.

It is his personality that makes him respected by countless people.

Now Emily and Old Klie feel in their hearts, as if a simple teenager who just came out of the society suddenly heard that a certain person who works in the Red Cross has a poor family background, but he can pick him up in a luxury car all day long and wear clothes Gold and silver, sitting on a mansion, living a very luxurious life.

Link was even more annoyed.

Because he instinctively remembered Dumbledore's embezzlement of Hogwarts public funds earlier.

He had thought that Dumbledore was doing it just so that he could feed a large gang of members of the Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort.

But after seeing the luxury of this manor with his own eyes, he doesn't think so.

Dumbledore, is it possible to transfer a part, or even a large part, of the public funds to this manor?

It's quite possible!

The changes in everyone's expressions were captured by Dumbledore.

He immediately sensed everyone's mental activity.

He hurriedly smiled and said:

"What are you thinking about? This manor was given to me by my old friend Nicole Lemay. I've only been there once when I took over this manor, but this is only the second time. Just come."

Hearing that, Link, Emily and the others were all relieved.

It turned out to be Nicole LeMay's house!

That's fine!

Nicole LeMay is absolutely the greatest alchemist in the history of magic!

His most famous deed is the invention of the Philosopher's Stone (Philosopher's Stone), and relying on the power of the Philosopher's Stone to live forever, together with his wife, he lived for more than 600 years.

Perhaps many people do not understand what the concept of more than 600 years is.

This number is not too small or too big, and it is difficult to make people feel real.

But in another way of expressing it, everyone can understand what a terrible thing this is.

Take, for example, Nicole LeMay, a man of the fourteenth century.

What is the concept of the fourteenth century?

Zhu Yuanzhang executed Yuan Chuangming in the 14th century!

To be precise, Nicole Lemay was founded earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty was founded in 1368, and Nicole Lemay was born in 1330.

Even an ordinary migrant worker, who has lived since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, who has no disease or disaster should become a rich man.

Not to mention, Nicole Lemay is also a great alchemist!

After hundreds of years of research, countless alchemy techniques have been continuously invented and created by him.

Most of the alchemy technologies possessed by the magic world today can be said to be using the patented technology of Nicole LeMay.

Although Nicole Lemay has opened up most of the technical patents he has mastered in the later period.

But the annual royalties that the alchemist associations need to hand over to Nicole Lemay are still astronomical.

In addition to the magic stone, in addition to making people immortal, it also has the ability to turn a stone into gold.

Therefore, under the superposition, whether it is Muggle currency or wizard currency, Nicole LeMay is not lacking.

He can't count the amount of money he uses with magic!

He owns such a manor, which is quite normal.

It can even be said that this manor may be a little too shabby in comparison with his net worth.

"what-"

Old Clay sighed with a long sigh, "Such a luxurious manor is given away as a gift. I guess Your Excellency Nicole Lemay must have moved into a more spectacular new residence?"

Emily nodded too.

A look of hope appeared on his face.

Now this manor is extravagant beyond her cognition.

She couldn't imagine the luxury of Nicole LeMay's new home.

She would really like to visit there if possible.

Hearing this, Link shook his head and said:

"In fact, since the eighteenth century, Nicole Lemay and his wife have lived in seclusion in a modest, if not shabby little house in Devon. The two of them have also become lovers of theatre, From time to time, I would go to the Paris Opera to watch Muggle plays. UU read www.uukanshu.com and that small house was also their longest residence."

"How can this be?"

Old Clay almost screamed and questioned, "No one will let the rich and luxurious life not enjoy, and go to live in such a small house to live a miserable life! Unless this person is crazy!"

Perhaps in order to add weight to his own words, Old Kled continued:

"I've met too many people, and some of them claim to have no interest in money! But those are all sour words used to comfort themselves when you can't do anything! When you really pile money on them In front of them, those with good intentions will become crazy, greedy, and not afraid of death!

Even those great aristocrats who have lived prosperous since childhood and never lacked money.

When the amount of money reaches a certain value, they will inevitably become greedy!

Humans are actually the same as the legendary dragons!

Humans instinctively want to occupy golden objects!

It's human nature!

can never be changed! "

Old Klie's words were fierce, but they made sense no matter how he heard them.

Competing for resources is the instinct of animals.

Although human beings are highly intelligent creatures, they are still inseparable from this instinct.

Because it is about the continuation of one's own life, and the number of mates and offspring.

Due to the emergence of money in modern society, human greed for resources has quickly turned into a specific greed for money.

This is almost irrefutable.

When Dumbledore heard this, he just smiled bitterly and said:

"Perhaps, Nicole Lemay, my old friend is really crazy." Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free to read!
