[Comprehensive] The Magical Life of Gail Greene

With a sound of "touch", the carved metal door of the manor closed behind the two of them, concealing it.Gail was not very satisfied with the feeling of insecurity behind him, turned around and pulled the huge rusty latch horizontally.

As a wizard, Gail completely forgot that as long as an "alahoo hole is opened", the latch will be opened under the influence of the spell.But Gail still felt reassured.

"Okay, next, let's open the defense system, wake up the sleeping house elves, and then go find the portraits of your ancestors in the painting hall." Gail took out a list from his pocket, which listed what they wanted Things to do.

"Bruce said that the defense system of the manor is in the master's study, on the second floor." Sif nodded and led Gail towards the mansion along the stone path where most of the space was occupied by weeds.

"Hey, Sif!" Halfway through, Gail grabbed Sif and pointed to the withered green belt, "Is that kord grass? The one that is dying!"

In the green belt, some traces of withered herbs can still be seen, and Gail can only recognize a few.

"It's a pity..." Gail felt a pity in his heart after seeing Sif nodded.This is a herb that is about to become extinct. If you can take care of it until it matures and sets seeds, you can plant more.This is one of the raw materials for concentrating precious potions!

Seeing Gail's pained expression, Sev thought for a while, and comforted Gail, saying, "Bruce said that he has left some seeds and mature herbs with good grades. Don't feel bad."

Gale, who heard that the herbs were not impossible to grow, turned cloudy and sunny, and entered the mansion with Sif.The two of them didn't stay longer in Yihuo, but went directly to the Patriarch's study on the second floor.

Pushing open the wooden door, the two entered the empty study.Almost all the books in the study were emptied, as were the slightly valuable utensils.Gail could even see a dent on the doorknob. It was obvious that something had been inlaid before—it should have been picked off by someone.

How poor is this?Gail curled his lips, and his impression of the Ministry of Magic dropped by another level.

Behind a curtain that looks a little worn is the huge family tree of the Prince family.It's a huge family tree that's painted on the wall.This family tree is the switch to activate the defense system of the manor, but first, Sif needs to fill in his name on the family tree, making himself the only heir recognized by the Prince family, and then the defense system can be activated.

Severus took out a small potion bottle that Dumbledore had given him from his arms, cut his finger, dripped a few drops of potion on the bleeding finger, and put his finger Pressed on the trunk of the family tree.

A brown light started from the trunk of the family tree, followed the trunk into a thick branch, and then turned into a more branched trunk.After crossing countless fruits, the brown light took the place of the eliminated Irene Prince, forming a small golden fruit.This was the sign that Severus was recognized by the Prince family and became the new head of the family.

Severus drew out his wand, tapped the tip of the wand on the golden fruit, and the fruit was hidden among the dense leaves and could not be found.He then pointed his wand at the trunk of the family tree.

Severus touched the trunk of the family tree with his wand, causing the tree to tremble.While the family tree was shaking, the whole manor was shaking too.The chandelier above their heads was a little crumbling in the shaking of the manor, which made Gail's heart ache.But soon, the shaking stopped.

"Did it work?" Gail asked Sif.

Sev replied to Gale with a little hesitation: "It should... be successful."

It was indeed successful, and from now on, Prince Manor would be a place that could not be marked or found, unless Severus, as the head of the house, lifted the manor's defenses.

Because the manor had a new owner, before Sev and Gail could speak again, the house elf who fell asleep because the manor was closed appeared in the study with a "crack".

The five house-elves saluted Severus wearing tea towels: "Good afternoon, master!"

Although the house-elves all looked alike, Gail could tell that two of the five were very old.Compared with the smooth skin of the other three, the wrinkled skin is particularly conspicuous.

"Has the defense system of the manor been fully activated?" Sev was most concerned about the safety of the manor.

The elf closest to Sev was an older one.He returned in a shrill voice: "The master asked Dudu questions! Yes, master! The defense system was activated! It's complete! Dudu really shouldn't be! Dudu has been sleeping for many years! The old master's herbs are all withered Already!"

"Pupu is a bad elf! Pupu didn't clean up well!"

"Bad elves! Bad elves! Master's books are gone!"

As one elf blamed himself, all five elves screamed, and one of them wanted to hit the wall with his head.Gail quickly grabbed him with spiritual power.

"I order you to stop!" Sev said loudly, over the screams of several elves.After seeing the five elves stop "punishing themselves", Sif gave his first order as the head of the house: "Now, good tool, I want to see the mansion clean before the end of the day."

"Yes, master!" Several elves immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Sif again, the tip of their noses almost touched the floor, and then disappeared with a "crack" again.

After the elf disappeared, the two left the study and went to the cellar at the end of the first floor.In the potion research room in the cellar, Sif stopped in his tracks.

It also looks like it has been ransacked.The utensils needed to make potions, such as crucibles, scales, and even knives for cutting medicinal materials, were all looted.Only a few broken potion bottles lay alone on the ground, along with some old shredded parchment and dust.

Sif took a fixed look at the shattered marble countertop, then looked away, walked to the empty potion rack, and knocked on the cabinet with his wand.

There was a sound like gears turning behind the heavy wooden cabinet.Gail watched the cabinet make a dull "clang", and after moving forward about a few centimeters, it moved to the side, revealing a beautiful log-colored wooden door.

Sev took a deep breath and held the doorknob, a little afraid to open it.

Gail didn't urge him, but waited for Seaver to prepare himself.After about ten seconds, Sif opened the door and walked into the ancestral painting hall.But after stepping in, Sif turned around and held out his hand to Gail who was thinking about how to pass the time when Sif entered the painting hall: "Gail, you come with me!"

Faced with Sev's invitation, Gail was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward to hold Sev's hand, and shook it very hard to encourage Sif.And Sev, because of Gail's firm grip, felt at ease.The two walked into the ancestor painting hall hand in hand.

Passing through a corridor about five meters long, the two arrived at a wide hall.There are many portraits hanging on the walls around the hall, dressed in various eras.Gail looked around a little curiously.

"You're here." A male voice sounded, it was a portrait of a serious gentleman.He looked a bit like Severus, equally serious.This should be Irene's father, Seaver's grandfather Bruce.

Gail waved the hand that didn't hold Sif's hand to Bruce in a friendly way: "You must be the last head of the house! I'm Sif's classmate. For some reason, I will have to rely on it for a long time to come." It's here with Sev!"

Bruce looked at Gale with a frown, as if evaluating something.

Gail was a little uncomfortable being looked at, and whispered to Sif: "Don't you have something to say to Bruce? You two talk, I will wait for you in a circle!"

Sev also knew that Gale probably felt uncomfortable, so he nodded to show that he knew.So Gale let go of Sev's hand and walked into the distance.

Gail wasn't quite sure what Sev said, but Gail found the portraits, mostly dozing off, interesting.There are also a few characters in the portraits who are holding large books and looking at them without distraction, frowning and nodding from time to time.There are a few portraits in which a small living room is painted, but the owner of the portraits did not sit on the chairs in the portraits, drink tea and eat snacks, on the contrary, they have disappeared.But at the same time, Gail could hear some "gurgling" sounds from the portrait that seemed to be made when the potion was boiled.

These are the people, Gail thought, where he should be out of sight in the portrait.According to the family nature of the Prince family, they should be holding back the potion.There are also some matrons who join the Prince family, and several gather together in a portrait to talk about something.

Gail could vaguely hear what Bruce said, like "closing the manor is the right choice", or after Sev mentioned the situation of the manor's study and workshop, he proudly said "Really good things don't show up in the open." face".

When the conversation between the two came to an end, Gail got a signal from Sif and walked back: "It was okay at first, but the further I went in, I couldn't understand what those people were saying. I think we need to Learn Old English. But Old English is so hard!"

Sev listened to Gail's words in a tolerant manner, without any impatience.

"Let's go out. Speaking of which, house elves are very good at housework, and it should be almost the same." Sif greeted Bruce, and then led Gail, who was still waving goodbye to Bruce's portrait, outside go.

Bruce in the portrait was still frowning, with a serious face that made people feel daunted, and he watched the two leave.

When the two came out from behind the original wooden door, they happened to see a house elf with a broom and feather duster stuck behind him, holding a potion bottle picked up from the ground in his hand.After the elf saw Sif, he immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Hehe, you are a bad elf! You didn't clean the workshop before the master came out! Bad elf!"

"Stop! Keep cleaning, don't punish yourself!" Sif seemed to be a little used to the surprise of the elves, so he naturally ordered loudly, and then left the studio with Gail.

The elf's excited voice came from behind: "The master won't let Hehe punish himself! The master said that Hehe can continue to clean! The master is a good master!"

Gail couldn't hold back, and laughed with a "puchi".
