Chapter 29: maintenance and care
The living room of the Mixed-Blood Association is very beautifully furnished, with densely embossed domes and neat carpets on the ground.
Even the elegant sofa sitting under the buttocks is made of dragon skins imported from the Northern Empire.
In addition, a few villains with transparent wings playfully floated around Kevin like dragonflies.
Their soft laughter and laughter continued, and the fragrance of flowers and plants on their bodies penetrated into their nostrils one after another, making Kevin couldn't help sneezing—
Pixies that are not as big as a palm are a rare magical animal in the wizarding world, and their wings are also a relatively high-end potion preparation material in the field of potions.
At the same time, apart from being too small and having wings, this little guy with the same body structure as a human is also loved by wizard children and even adult wizards, and is extremely popular in the field of pets.
As a result, they are very expensive to buy.
The bald Vice President Victor thought it was a very polite thing to take them out to entertain guests.
However, few people know that Kevin has been allergic to the smell of this kind of elves since he was a child, and when he smells them, he can't help sneezing!
"This **** place!"
Rubbing his sore nose, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot on the back of his hand, Kevin couldn't help but scolded.
If it wasn't for the fact that the bastard's illegitimate child might refuse, he would have left an invitation letter and slapped his **** away!
Before coming, he had thought that the other party would refuse, and also thought that the other party would agree with a smirk.
But this kind of scene where I waited for several hours and saw no one at all, I didn't expect it at all!
"What kind of bad idea did Jim come up with?"
The blond boy was full of irritability and annoyance at the moment.
He originally wanted to go directly to Martin with the little round face, and let him be the middleman to invite the illegitimate child to the dinner party tomorrow.
But after learning about the illegitimate child's information, good friend Jim insisted that he come to this so-called mixed-race association with great fanfare.
What else to say, this method must be foolproof, and the illegitimate child has no room for rejection.
But now it seems that what he said is simply a fart!
Not to mention agreeing or refusing, he didn't even open an invitation, and he didn't even have a chance to meet anyone!
"What is this called!?"
"If I used my method, how could this happen?"
"Jim is such a self-righteous fool!"
Kevin's mood is extremely irritable now, that is, he has the urge to get up and leave without caring, but he is afraid that the illegitimate child will come back as soon as he leaves.
If you really want that, haven't you waited so long in vain?
But in the current situation where there is no news, it is not a problem to wait forever!
Although he had nothing to do until the start of school at Fort St. Grant, he played wizard gladiator chess and went diving in the sea to find treasure.
He even used the book of secret words to say a few words of flattery to his indifferent fiancée...isn't it?
Why waste time on this?
"Ten minutes, I'll wait another ten minutes."
Kevin's heart was full of sullen thoughts, "If he doesn't come back, I'll be gone! I don't care what he plans or not!"
"It's better to let Daddy beat that **** to death!"
When this idea came up, he had forgotten, and similar ideas had appeared in his mind at least ten times.
…
In fact, not only Kevin, but also Victor, the vice president, is currently full of anger.
After all, there was an accident within the association last night, and he, the resident top leader, has a lot of things to do!
However, now, because of an ordinary banquet invitation, he has to waste a lot of time on accompanying guests...
After all, that is the son of the head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic, and no one can neglect him.
Therefore, the object of Victor's annoyance is not Kevin, but the newcomer.
He had heard of the newcomer. After all, he had stolen it from someone else, so it was more conspicuous than the members who entered normally.
When he heard about this yesterday, he felt quite proud. He hid by the side and secretly glanced at the image of the newcomer, and was extremely satisfied.
But now, he can't wait to strangle that guy!
You said that you are a newcomer who just joined the club, and you don't honestly stay in the station to learn knowledge, why go out and run around?
Do you really think that the wizard's world is a harmonious place where you can break through without knowing anything?
Or did he not take his future in the wizarding world seriously at all?
It's just a good external image, where does this self-confidence come from?
How stupid!
It made him suffer too!
With this idea in mind, Victor has decided that when the newcomer shows up, he must reprimand him severely.
However, before Victor's idea was brewing for long, he knew a piece of news that made him even more pissed-
"We originally planned to follow your order to find the newcomer, but before we could go out, we were all stopped by the Von der Leyen examiner."
A young wizard who was previously sent by Victor to find someone was accidentally seen by Victor, and he responded to the other party's angry question with aggrieved tone.
"Assessor Feng did not let us go to the living room to disturb us. I originally wanted to wait for you to come out and report the situation to you, but you never showed up..."
"Von der Leyen!"
Hearing this, the bald vice-chairman Victor couldn't help feeling anxious.
He was still wondering, and he kept sending people to find a newcomer who didn't know anything yet. How could there be no movement?
No matter how bad it is, there should be some clues to give back!
Unexpectedly, the reason is here!
"What's wrong with that old guy!"
"Or, his brain is already confused!?"
In a desperate mood, Victor angrily walked to the old examiner's office.
However, when he saw someone and questioned them loudly, the other party's response was very calm.
"Why do you think a young talent from a top pure-blood family suddenly invites a newcomer from our association? Are you willing to stay here and wait for so long?"
"They are acquaintances, why? Of course they have this friendship!"
"So, judging from the fact that the banquet was held at the Ernest family's manor, you didn't notice anything wrong?"
"What could be wrong? Where is a banquet held, is it an important matter!?"
"Have you forgotten Arthur from the Meteorological Society?"
"Oh? If you don't mention it, I really forgot! After so many years, there has only been such an unsatisfactory Arthur, and you still want to remember it for the rest of your life??"
Seeing the stubborn face of the bald middle-aged man in front of him, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
He understands that the other party can actually clearly perceive all these abnormalities.
But for various reasons, Victor was reluctant to think about it.
Or do not want to miss this opportunity.
After all, according to the concept of the current association, if you can get in touch with the family behind Kevin, it can be said to be a great achievement!
Relatively speaking, a newcomer who has great potential, but whose future situation is completely uncertain, may be humiliated in this matter, what is it?
On the contrary, Victor may feel that the young man is wronged by something irrelevant, but the incident is actually a good thing...
"Unfortunately, you don't know, that's not a simple newcomer."
Looking at the vice president of the association in front of him, the old man felt helpless.
The average newcomer is fine, but "Iger Wilson" is a very talented newcomer who has even attracted the attention of the president.
They were still discussing with the book of secret words last night, how to focus on cultivating this newcomer, how could they be willing to let him go out and suffer a little accident?
Moreover, although he was busy with last night's affairs all day today, he had seen the little girl Lily running out of the house when Kevin came to visit before.
Thinking that Iger hasn't come back for so long, a very clear fact is already in front of him—
Lily must have made a small report to the other party, so Iger, who was cautious and found something wrong, never showed up.
However, when did Lily become so familiar with him?
That newcomer only joined the association yesterday...
The old man didn't know anything about it.
Because as the investigation into Charlie deepens, some details have surfaced.
For example, many people found out last night that the newcomer paid special attention to Charlie's group.
For example, last night the newcomer went to chat with the girl Lily for a while.
Then not long after, a group of children ran to the second floor to make trouble...
These clues are not very obvious, and they do not explain much.
But when he is old, he has experienced everything, and he has a lot of knowledge, and he already has a vague guess about it.
Not long ago, he shared this guess with the president.
The other party also felt that Iger might have discovered some clues in advance, so he secretly instigated the girl to "find the fault", which finally made Martin realize that something was wrong.
So the whole thing was salvaged, and the extremely bad conspiracy failed.
However, if this is the case, then their evaluation of Iger cannot be described as just a genius.
A genius, even if the talent is outstanding, it only means that he has a high potential, and the future is bright.
But a genius with a sharp mind and such a subtle but effective method of doing things can already be regarded as an elite member.
The former needs to spend a lot of money and material resources to cultivate, the latter, if you really want to encounter something, leave it to him to do it, you can completely relax.
What's even more amazing is that he is still so young, only 15 years old...
Before, the president even revealed that he could consider Iger as the future core management to cultivate the meaning.
It's just that his joining time is too short, and a single thing can't fully assess the comprehensive ability of the newcomer, so this kind of thinking is just an intention.
But if there is no accident, Iger Wilson will definitely be the backbone member of their association in the future.
Now, let him use a future backbone to fight the so-called friendship that the big family may give out, how can he agree?
"The association just happened yesterday. If another Arthur is born, have you thought about the consequences?"
What the old man thought was one thing, but what the old man said out of his mouth was another.
Some things should not be known to too many people, otherwise it is very likely to harm the child.
"You really want to arouse everyone's anger, can you afford this responsibility?"
Victor was stunned when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, the annoyance on his face gradually subsided.
Right now, there are indeed undercurrents within the association, with the existence of the Book of Secret Words, and the Charlie incident has even spread among most of the members.
It's just that on the surface, everyone didn't make a sound.
However, if something like Arthur really happens again, then this undercurrent will inevitably erupt violently, and then completely push the contradiction that was barely maintained in the dark to the bright side.
The consequences...
The bald vice-chairman Victor finally snorted coldly after thinking uncertainly on his face for a long time.
"Since you think your idea is correct, I'll leave this mess right now!"
"If you cause any trouble, don't come to me again!"
After two harsh words, Victor walked away with a gloomy expression.
The old man sighed at this.
This bald middle-aged man is actually not a bad person. He has sons and daughters, and his wife is still alive, but because he needs to serve the association, he is forced to be sent from the capital of the kingdom to Graham, and he can only go home for a year. a month.
On the one hand, he is very professional. On the other hand, it is also because the association has faced too much pressure in recent years. There are too many things to do, and he, the vice president, has a family. Can't go back, can't get away at all.
So seeing that there is a chance to get in touch with a big family at this moment, and then greatly relieve the existing pressure, he becomes a little extreme...
"Unfortunately, he thought about this wrong from the beginning."
The old man shook his head secretly, then took out his book of secret words and sent a few words to Mellen named Iger Wilson.
"The one who came to find you is Kevin of the Felix family. Think carefully about what offended him, and then tell me the clues, and I will find a way to solve it for you."
…
"Until this matter is over, you should hide outside first, or wait for the President to arrive and then come back, it will only take two or three days."
…
"During this period, your homework can't be left behind. Although there are no textbooks, you can first familiarize yourself with the wizard's vision, especially those ghosts that are integrated into the building."
"They are not simply dead objects. You can observe more when you are free, and there may be unexpected harvests."
…
"The most important point, don't go to the suburbs to join in the fun. Your appearance is too conspicuous, and you are a mixed-race. It is easy to be targeted by some pure-bloods who do extreme things."
…
"Although they can't do anything to you because of the "Half-Blood Wizards' Rights Act", they have many means to force you to take the initiative to attack them, so that they..."
…
After sending out many warnings and precautions, the old man got up and walked towards the living room where the blond boy was, thinking about how to end this matter as he walked.
Melon on the other side was always in a "special state" and did not notice the messages sent by the old man at all.
