Chapter 1038: Irregular Ms. Higgs

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher ... My host said she had never heard of this last name. In addition, the host said she never did business with inferior wizards outside your pure-blood family-so please come back for three ! "
The words of the puppets are always straightforward, because they are only loyal to their masters. No matter how unpleasant the words they say, they will only repeat them as they are, and will not take care of the feelings of the listeners.
比如 Like now, Montonguez feels hurt.
"Dunger, it seems that your face is not worth even a copper Nat?" Sirius heard the elf Rice say, and couldn't help laughing at Montongues.
It seems that even the scorn of the "Ms. Higgs" has obviously reached such a point. Sirius, who was still thinking about leaving, just said nothing to himself.
Obviously, this change in his attitude undoubtedly originated from the previous speech by Lupin.
Not only that, after laughing at Montongus in passing, Sirius actually went on to the little elf Rice:
"Go tell your host, just say there is a guy named Black who is standing outside her workshop!"
Just after Sirius had finished the sentence, the elf Rice suddenly bent down his waist. He pressed his upper body down as hard as he could, and the bow was so large that the sharp pointed nose almost touched the dusty ground.
But after seeing this scene, not only was Sirius unmoved, even Montonguez and Lupin were not surprised at all.
Except for those special cases with ancient wizarding traditions, the Black family can be said to be one of the oldest pure blood families in the British magic world, and its family tree can be traced back to the medieval period.
When a cruel ancestor of Sirius created a tradition related to domesticated elves, the image of the Black family became extremely tall among the elves of deep slavery.
The so-called "family tradition" is that when the domestic elf who has served the family for a lifetime is too old to hold the plate, they cut their heads and nailed them on the delicate carved wooden boards, and then hung the wall to charge For decoration.
There is no doubt that this is a rare honor for domestic elves who only want to be loyal to their owners and their families.
"'Blake'? Oh! Are you a member of the distinguished and long-standing Black family? Please humble Rice, who has been rude, Rice ..."
"Indecent assault?" Sirius stared blankly. "Then you talk about it, where did you get rude?"
因为 "Because Rice doesn't know that you are a guest of the Black family, ... it's Rice's fault, it's Rice's rudeness ..."
Sirius interrupted impatiently:
"anything else?"
"And ... and ..."
If he said rudeness, it was also the rudeness of Ms. Higgs who was his master. However, as a domestic elf, how can he say that the owner is wrong?
No, Rice didn't even dare to think about it.
瞧 "Look, can't you tell me? Want me—"
"Sirius!"
I still interrupted the verbal persecution of Sirius by Rice by Lupin, but saw him reach out and rub his shoulders:
"How free are you from living with a house elf?"
After stopping Sirius, Lu Ping said to the elf Rice again:
"Not ready to explain to your host? Go ahead ..."
After hearing this, Rice hurriedly owed her again and again a few times, and gruntly apologized. Then he accompanied by a crackle and disappeared from the front of the workshop.
"Hum," Sirius pouted, "I don't like these little elves who know how to bow to pure blood, as if they can't live without a wizard."
"Then if you force him so much, can you make him feel rebellious? No, in the end, he will only kneel on the ground and scratch his head ..." Lu Ping said indignantly, "Is this still the case? Did you tell me back then? "
"I have been in jail for more than ten years, can't I change my mind?" Sirius hummed. "I don't believe every domestic elf is a worm."
Lu Ping listened and shook his head helplessly.
"It's better to think more about what can be done to effectively change them. You will only waste time with this method."
"That's it! Hey, so big, so naive ..."
Hearing Lupin's remarks, Montonguez, who had just been run by Sirius, couldn't help but whisper, but immediately got Sirius' stare.
"you--"
I haven't waited for Sirius to return, and the gate of the workshop in front of the three was finally opened from the inside, blocking the words behind Sirius.
Suddenly, the witch who came out of the workshop frowned suddenly.
"When I heard about the Black family, who did I think it was! It turned out to be you guy who had been delisted by your mother for a long time ... why, do you still have a face called Black?"
I saw that the witch, though she had a beautiful white face, was extremely bitter when she spoke. In addition to the fierce irony of Sirius, she still did not forget to glance at the two of Montongus and Lupin.
的 The descendants of the pure blood family basically have a very detailed family education. This made Higgs mock the Sirius, and at the same time, he would carefully confirm the identity of other people present, so as not to make a mistake and cause people who should not be.
Of course, not to mention whether she remembered Montonguez, at least Lupin could recognize her.
After all, Lupin was hired by Dumbledore as a professor of black magic defense, and it can be considered a small thing in the British magic world.
Not to mention, Lu Ping's father was a well-known expert in the study of the mysterious phenomena of the magic world.
It's a pity that Lupin's mixed blood alone can't let Higgsgar see where he is going.
After a few glances at Lupin at will, her sight fell on Mondungus again. Just by using the exclusion method, you can know that this witch-looking witch must be the elf. That "old classmate" mentioned by Steve.
But when she wanted to talk about derogating Montongues again, Sirius also sarcastically said:
"I don't want this last name anymore, but who is the son of the Black family? I'm the only one left? Or else! If you'd like to give your last name, maybe I will Happy, I'll give you the keys of the Black family's vault as a gift? "
Speaking of which, Higgs's white face had become iron-blue, but she still swallowed a spit of water involuntarily.
多少 How valuable is the Black Family's vault? That was at least the accumulation of wealth of a huge family for hundreds of years. Although Sirius was obviously teasing her, it was still unconsciously frightening.
"Okay," Lupin shook his head in amused smile before saying, "Ms. Higgs, although you said you were not going to do business with wizards outside the pure blood family, I don't think you would refuse A simple and generous deal. Even if Mr. Black was just kidding, it was always right for him to hold a lot of King Garon ... "
Xi Zheng said, and then he took another step and spread his hands:
"I beg your pardon, but I know better than you ... In this world, each family's life is actually difficult. I think you won't be able to live with Jin Jialong, right?"
I want to say that the current situation, the small blood family like Higgs is the most embarrassing.
When the Muggle-born guy, Voldemort, and Haierbo resisted the court, their families did not have enough information to learn the low-key wait and see of the big family, nor did they have the courage to fall back in the period when Maca was in despair The black wizard's side.
Even more sadly, they just couldn't pull their faces to mingle with the "inferior wizard" in their own eyes.
Don't look at Higgs on the surface, she also wears a bright tone. But in fact, even her parents are not happy now, let alone how much legacy they can leave to her in the future.
She said that the potion workshop she now runs alone is not enough to give her pure blood surname a face.
"What deal?"
After Higgs hesitated for a moment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It seemed that he finally left his resistance.
哦 "Oh, it's a long-term healing potion order-about white fresh flavor," Lupin smiled, "we might as well go in and talk about it, how?"
"White fresh flavor?" After Higgs heard it, his eyes lightened slightly, but his mouth still barely said, "Well ... well! Come in ..."
Looking at the back of the other side, Lu Ping turned back slightly, winking at Sirius. Seeing this, the latter nodded slightly.
Originally, they had never thought of ordering a therapeutic agent of the same grade as Baixian essence. You know, its market price is quite high.
After exchanging a look with Sirius, Lupin first followed Higgs's steps and walked into the workshop. Behind him, Sirius and Mondungus, who was still arguing, looked at each other, and even passed through the door together.
Suddenly, as soon as he entered, Sirius looked at the house-elves inside and frowned.
When he followed closely two steps, and passed by Lu Ping from the middle of the long table, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice:
"... This is really a irritating place."
"follow me."
Higgs opened the door of the deepest room at will, and after dropping a sentence, he walked into a corridor behind the door.
After waiting, Lupin and Sirius both entered the corridor one by one, and at the end of the trip, Montonguez gave a stern look at Higgs' potion preparation table, and then hurriedly followed.
