The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 572 Mansion/former residence

Link's expression was similar to Emily's.

Familiar with Muggle history, he even felt like an envoy when he came to the Palace of Versailles to meet the 'Sun King Louis XIV'.

Same as a country bumpkin.

Luckily Link is not Charles II.

After seeing the colorful world and luxury of France, he couldn't extricate himself, and after being restored, he began to desperately reproduce French fashion.

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

It often represents that a country has become corrupt from within.

Just like Louis XIV and Li Longji.

Both the Bourbon Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty developed to the extreme in terms of culture in their hands.

Also open to the extreme.

The upper-class nobles almost quit doing shit every day, and they are all drunk and dreaming.

But what happened?

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

Link will not repeat the mistakes of these people.

It is indeed necessary to carry out appropriate cultural development, especially to learn from a beautiful country that is now exporting culture and brainwashing ideology all over the world.

But just pure extravagance.

That doesn't make any sense.

But I think so, but facing all the extravagance in front of him, Link still has a strong curiosity about the owner of this manor.

What kind of person can be so extravagant?

Amid Link's curiosity, the carriage landed slowly on an open space behind the manor.

This should be a place in the manor where the flying carriages are specially parked or the flying vehicles such as flying broomsticks can be landed.

There are even many lines on the ground specially drawn to provide landing assistance.

Old Klein waited until Link, Emily and the others got out of the car, and reached out to untie the reins of the Pegasus, intending to take these Pegasus to the stables not far away to refresh and eat.

But Dumbledore stopped him.

Under old Kled's puzzled gaze, Dumbledore smiled slightly, and then snapped his fingers lightly.

"Click—"

The crisp sound of mechanical activity sounded from the direction of the stable.

Immediately afterwards, a square robot emerged from the wall of the stable, transformed into legs and six mechanical arms, and walked towards this side waving.

It squeezed old Kret who was blocking the way, then skillfully untied the reins, led the Pegasus to the stable, and then fed and watered them.

While working, music was even playing in the circular mesh hole in its chest, as if to appease the horses.

Old Klein and Link were stunned by this scene.

Although it looks weird.

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

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

"Don't be dazed, let's go into the house."

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

The three of Link and Emily also reacted immediately, and hurriedly followed.

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

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

No way, the interior decoration and scenery of the manor are far more exquisite than human imagination.

As small as a floor tile, as large as an entire garden, all are taken care of by specialized alchemy robots.

With the efforts of these robots, every detail has been buckled to the extreme, and the entire area is full of a unique temperament that coexists with modernity and retro style.

[Recommended, Mimi's reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. 】

Not to mention the interior of the villa.

To describe it as magnificent is an insult to it.

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

Link is better.

He is still a Xia person after all, what he really likes is the kind of low-key and luxurious things,

It is a family with small bridges and flowing water, and it is the tranquility of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in Suzhou gardens.

The endless sea of ​​irises in this manor, the brightly colored European-style gardens and the magnificent palace-like decoration style are equally beautiful to him, but there is always a taste of nouveau riche, as if they were made of gold. into the papa.

Although it is also priceless, even the appearance can be said to be quite beautiful.

But there is no artistic atmosphere at all.

Emily and old Kledge were different.

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

Right now, one by one, they have been so bewildered that they almost lost their minds.

Dumbledore understood their reactions very well, and let them keep looking at them in the main hall of the villa.

And he himself snapped his fingers out of thin air.

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

Compared with the robots outside who serve horses, livestock and gardens, the robot in front of us is obviously closer to humans in appearance.

Whether it is the number of limbs or the appearance and shape, it is similar to normal humans.

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

"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 pace.

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

Old Kelie's throat squirmed, and he couldn't help asking.

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

Almost all the affairs of the Foley family were ordered through him.

This is absolutely impossible in other families.

Because under this set of operating rules, if the big housekeeper has other thoughts, the whole family will be destroyed.

That's him, old Kret!

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

You have been loyal all your life, and you have proved your loyalty with time and facts, and this is how you can enjoy such great honor and trust!

This has always been something that old Klein should be proud of!

But now, old Klein felt a strong crisis from the previous robot!

Humans are no more reliable than robots.

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

And if the alchemy robot can really work like a butler, will Link choose to bring a robot butler back to replace his job?

It's not impossible.

After all, Link just said not long ago that he wants to retire to enjoy the blessings.

Old Klein knew that it was an absolute kindness from Link's standpoint.

It is to let him enjoy his old age without any worries.

Not so with old Kled.

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

But there are certain things that are deeply imprinted in his DNA.

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

Death in the process of fulfilling his power and responsibility is the ending he most wants.

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

I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a year.

But these things can't be told to Link.

There are some words that Link can comprehend by himself is comprehension.

From his mouth, the taste is different.

Dumbledore and Old Kledge had just met for a short time, so naturally they couldn't understand each other's thoughts. They only thought that Old Kledge wanted to take one back, so he shook his head and said:

"Don't think about it. Although it looks very intelligent, in fact, it just acts according to the set program. If the pre-set commands are not applied, it will not listen at all. Know what you're talking about. So it can never replace the ability of human stewards."

Old Kret heaved a sigh of relief.

Link and Emily were even more curious.

Even though this butler robot has the flaws as Dumbledore said.

But this is already a very powerful technology, far beyond the possession of ordinary people or ordinary rich people.

Emily and Link looked at each other, stepped forward and said:

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

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and said leisurely:

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

Hearing this, Link, Emily, and old Kret were all taken aback.

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

Even if Dumbledore replied that this was the antique manor left by the Big Four, they would not be surprised.

But in any case, none of them thought that the manor would be Dumbledore's own.

You know, Dumbledore has always given people the impression that he lives in seclusion, does not love fame, and does not accumulate wealth.

It is also his character that makes him respected by countless people.

The feeling in Emily and old Klein's heart now is like a simple boy who just came out of society and suddenly heard that so-and-so who works in the Red Cross Society is obviously not rich, but he can pick up and drop off in a luxury car all day long, wear Wearing gold and silver, sitting in a mansion, living a life of extravagance and extreme desire.

Link was even more annoyed.

Because he instinctively remembered Dumbledore's misappropriation of Hogwarts public funds in the early years.

He originally thought that Dumbledore did that only to feed a large group of members of the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Voldemort.

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

Dumbledore, is it possible that some, or even a large part of the public funds were also transferred to this manor?

It's quite possible!

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

He immediately noticed everyone's psychological activities.

Hastily smiled wryly and said:

"What are you thinking about? This manor was gifted to me by my old friend Nicole Flamel. I have only been here once when I took over this manor, and now it is only the second time Just come."

Hearing this, Link, Emily and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the house of Nicole Flamel!

That's all right!

Nicole Flamel is definitely 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 has lived for more than six hundred years.

Perhaps many people do not understand the concept of more than six hundred years.

Looking at this number alone, it is not small, and it is not big. It is difficult to make people feel real.

But by changing the expression, everyone can understand how awesome this is.

For example, Nicole Flamel, he was a man of the fourteenth century.

What is the concept of the fourteenth century?

Zhu Yuanzhang punished Yuan Chuangming in the fourteenth century!

To be precise, Nicole Flamel was established earlier than the Ming Dynasty.

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

Even if he is an ordinary migrant worker, he should have become a rich man if he lived from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present without any disease or disaster.

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

Hundreds of years of research have resulted in countless alchemy techniques being invented and created by him.

Most of the alchemy techniques in the magic world today can be said to be using Nicole Flamel's patented technology.

Although Nicole Flamel opened up most of the technical patents he had mastered in the later stage.

However, the patent fees that the Alchemist Associations need to hand over to Nicole Flamel every year are still astronomical.

In addition, the Sorcerer's Stone not only can make people live forever, but also has the ability to turn stones into gold.

Therefore, under the superimposition, whether it is Muggle currency or wizard currency, Nicole Flamel has everything.

He has so much money that he can't count it with magic!

It is quite normal for him to own such a manor.

It can even be said that this manor may be a bit too shabby compared to his wealth and size.

"what--"

Old Klein sighed for a long time, "Such a luxurious manor is given away as soon as it is said to be given away. I guess His Excellency Nicole Flamel must have moved into a more spectacular new residence, right?"

Emily nodded too.

There was also a look of longing on his face.

Right now, this manor is already extravagant beyond her cognition.

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

She would really like to visit there if possible.

But upon hearing this, Link shook his head and said:

"In fact, since the eighteenth century, Nicole Flamel and his wife have lived in seclusion in an ordinary, even a little dilapidated house in Devon. The two of them have also become theater lovers, From time to time, they would go to the Paris Opera House to watch Muggle plays. And that small house is also where they lived for the longest time."

"how can that be?"

Old Kret almost screamed and questioned, "No one would not enjoy the rich and luxurious life, but live a miserable life in such a small house! Unless this person is crazy!"

Perhaps in order to add weight to his words, Old Klein went on to say:

"I have seen too many people, and there are many who claim to have no interest in money! But those are all sour words used to comfort themselves when you are powerless! When you really pile up money on them In front of them, they will become crazy, greedy, and fearless even with good intentions and exceptions!

Even those great aristocrats who lived affluent lives 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 the golden and shining objects!

This is human nature!

It can never be changed! "

Old Kelie's words were fierce, but they made sense no matter how they sounded.

It is the instinct of animals to compete for resources.

Although human beings are highly intelligent creatures, they still cannot escape this instinct.

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

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

This is almost irrefutable.

When Dumbledore heard the words, he just smiled wryly and said:

"Perhaps, Nicole Flamel, my old friend is indeed mad."
