Chapter 455 Buying a House
Chapter 455 Buying a House
Every pure-blooded family of the Holy Twenty-Eight must have had a rich ancestor. Otherwise, his surname would not be called the Holy Twenty-Eight. But whether this glory can be continued depends on the efforts of future generations.
Sometimes, prosperity and decline can be called the norm. For example, Malfoy and countless pure-blood families like him. After failing to support Voldemort, those who are lucky will have to spend money to avoid disaster. Those who are unlucky may even lose their entire branch.
The comeback is just an isolated case, and in the original book, only Weasley has done it. The peak marriage of Arthur Weasley's branch is also rare in the history of magic.
And Li Zhuoguang, the man in front of them now, is one of those who rose to prominence and then fell.
The middle-aged man in plain clothes argued: "This is the ancestral home of the Avery family!"
Li Zhuoguang didn't even look at him, but looked at the Gringotts goblin beside him: "Old."
The fairy said to the middle-aged man, "According to records, this mansion was originally built in 1450. It has been rebuilt six times on the original site, the last time in 1960. After that, it was repaired and renovated every ten years. The last repair was in 1980, which is eleven years ago. This house is already an old house that has fallen into disrepair."
The middle-aged man was not convinced: "But it has belonged to the Avery family since 1450, so the deed not only records the ownership of the house, but also the ownership of the land."
Li Zhuoguang looked at the fairy again: "Little."
The goblin continued to search for information: "Although the original deed states that the location of this house and a large area of land around it belong to the Avery family. But I have to remind you that you have sold a lot of land over the years. The remaining land is only enough to build a garden."
The man was a little dejected, because he knew that the goblin was telling the truth, and even the previous sales were mediated by Gringotts, just like today.
He originally thought that selling some land would be a starting capital for his business, but the reality was much crueler than he had imagined. He kept selling land and kept losing money. Now, he was already heavily in debt and had no other choice but to sell his ancestral home.
The middle-aged man pleaded, and whispered, "Can you increase the price a little more for the Avery family's sake? This offer is really too low."
Before coming here, Li Zhuoguang had done some background checks. The reason why the Avery family had fallen into this state was only because the main members of their family had joined the Death Eaters.
When Voldemort was at the height of his power, they killed people with great joy, and when they invited members of other families to enjoy the fun, they did not consider the other families' face.
Moreover, Li Zhuoguang was not a local, and he was not familiar with the families here. He had to consider face when he opened his mouth, and he didn't think he had the face to do so. Immediately, Li Zhuoguang sneered: "Ha!"
The goblin from Gringotts glanced at Li Zhuoguang, hesitated for just a moment, then remembered Li Zhuoguang's high commission, and looked at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face: "Why was your old house last renovated eleven years ago? Do you want me to tell you clearly?
When Mr. Li came to Gringotts to handle business yesterday, he came with Harry Potter!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man felt as if all his bones had been pulled out of him, and he stopped bargaining. With trembling hands, he picked up the feather pen on the table and signed his name on the contract.
After the middle-aged man and the goblin left, Xiong Facai asked, "Is the reputation of that skinny boy yesterday so effective?"
Li Zhuoguang thought for a moment and said, "I remember you said that we had been to Konoha Village before. Then you should treat him as Uzumaki Naruto. He is the hero who saved this place, and everyone here knows what he did. It's just that his reputation is unknown to ordinary people."
William was shocked and said, "Did he really kill a strong man here just after he was born? I thought it was made up by someone with ulterior motives."
"When Voldemort attacked his home, his mother volunteered to sacrifice herself for him. With the power of love, she cast an ancient magic on him, which rebounded Voldemort's killing curse, and then Voldemort was half killed by his own spell."
William stroked his chin and concluded, "Then he is really like Uzumaki Naruto, relying on his parents to achieve great things." Li Zhuoguang scratched his head: "Who are Uzumaki Naruto's parents? Wait, wait! Don't tell me yet, it's more interesting for me to go back and read it myself."
Li Zhuoguang walked out of the old house and looked at the castle in the distance: "We can see Hogwarts from here. This time, Pojun and I will be the only ones entering Hogwarts. Although this world seems to be just like that, in order to prevent any accidents, you live here so that you can support us at any time."
Xiong Facai asked: "Who is the enemy this time?"
"Voldemort."
"Hasn't he been defeated?"
"Although he was defeated, he was only half dead. Now he has possessed someone else and entered Hogwarts. But he is relatively easy to deal with. The spell on Harry Potter has not dissipated. As long as Harry and Voldemort have physical contact, his body will be burned by the spell.
Furthermore, you can report directly to Dumbledore. Whether he knows it in advance or not, if a student reports it to him, he must take action. "
Xiong Facai touched Li Zhuoguang's head and said, "I didn't expect that you could come up with...plans at such a young age."
Li Zhuoguang smiled proudly: "I have done similar things a long time ago. Teacher Wang, the principal's sister-in-law, opened a tutoring class outside. The whole school knew about it, and the principal also knew about it.
It is useless to expect the principal to have a change of heart and take the initiative to intervene. It will only be useful if you report it in person when the Education Bureau comes to investigate."
Xiong Facai asked curiously, "What happened next?"
Li Zhuoguang shrugged and spread his hands: "The only thing I remember afterwards was seeing you guys, so I have no idea what happened."
Later, Li Zhuoguang found a repair team that served wizards through Gringotts. The magic here is actually quite comprehensive, and you can find the corresponding magic as long as you need it.
For example, if an ordinary team were to renovate an old house, it would take at least ten days to half a month. But it was different for the wizards, because the other party came after breakfast and left before lunch.
By noon, Li Zhuoguang and his friends were already sitting in the dining room of the old house having lunch.
While everyone was having dinner, an owl flew to the window and pecked at the window frame. Wei Changfeng picked up a piece of bread from the table and opened the window.
After taking the letter off, he stuffed the bread into the owl's mouth. After looking at the envelope, he handed the letter to Li Zhuoguang: "This is from Ollivander."
Li Zhuoguang opened the letter and found that the magic wand was ready, just as he expected.
Ollivander invites him to pick up his wand at his shop tonight.
