Chapter 1039

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fletcher... My master said she had never heard of this surname. In addition, the master said that she never did business with inferior wizards outside your pure blood family - so please come back!"

The words of domestic elves are always very direct, because they are only loyal to their master. No matter how ugly their host's words are, they will only repeat them as they are, rather than take care of the listener's feelings.

For example, now, Mundungus feels hurt.

"Dung, it seems that your face is not worth a copper NAT?" Sirius couldn't help laughing at Mundungus when he heard rice, the elf.

However, even the contempt of the "Mrs. Higgs" has obviously reached such a point. Sirius, who was talking about leaving just now, doesn't mention what he said.

Obviously, this change in his attitude undoubtedly originated from Lupin's previous opening.

Moreover, after mocking Mundungus, Sirius went on to say to rice, the house elf:

"Tell your master that there is another guy named Black standing outside her workshop!"

Just as Sirius had finished this sentence, the elf rice suddenly bent down his waist. He pushed his upper body down as hard as he could, and the bow was so wide that his curved pointed nose almost touched the dusty ground.

But after seeing this, not only Sirius remained unmoved, but even Mundungus and lupin were not surprised.

In addition to those exceptions with the inheritance of ancient wizards, the Black family can be said to be one of the oldest pure blood families in the British magic world, and its genealogy can even be traced back to the middle ages.

When a cruel ancestor of Sirius created a tradition related to domestic elves, the image of the Black family became very tall among the servile elves.

The so-called "family tradition" is that when those domestic elves who have served the family all their life are too old to carry dishes, they cut off their heads, nail them on exquisite carved boards, and then hang them on the wall for decoration.

There is no doubt that this is a rare honor for those domestic elves who only want to be loyal to their master and family.

"'black '? Oh! Are you a member of the noble and long black family? Please forgive the humble rice for her faux pas just now, rice..."

"Impolite?" Sirius said with an empty eye, "then tell me, where did you just be impolite?"

"Because rice didn't know you were a distinguished guest of the Black family,... It was rice's fault and rice's impoliteness..."

Sirius impatiently interrupted:

"What else?"

"And... And..."

If it is impolite, it is also the impoliteness of Ms. Higgs, his master. However, as a domestic elf, how can he say that the master is wrong?

No, rice didn't even dare to think so.

"Look, can't you say it? You want me -"

"Sirius!"

Or lupin interrupted Sirius's words to force rice, but saw him reach out and press the latter's shoulder and say:

"How free are you to have trouble with a domestic elf?"

After stopping Sirius, Lu Ping said to rice:

"Why don't you go and explain the situation to your master? Go, go..."

After hearing this, rice hurriedly owed herself several times in a row and muttered an apology. Then he disappeared in front of the workshop with a "crackling" sound.

"Hum," Sirius said with a curl of his mouth, "I can't stand these elves who only know how to bow to pure blood, as if they can't live without a wizard."

"If you force him so hard, can you make him resist? No, he will only kneel on the ground and knock his head out and bleed..." lupin said angrily, "didn't you tell me that?"

"I've been in prison for more than ten years. Can't I change my mind?" Sirius hummed. "I don't believe that every domestic elf is a kowtow."

Lupin listened and shook his head helplessly.

"It's better to think more about what can be done to effectively make them change. This method just now will only waste time."

"Yes! Hey hey, such a big man is still so childish..."

Hearing Lupin's words, Mundungus, who had just been run by Sirius, couldn't help muttering, but he immediately got Sirius's stare.

"You --"

Before Sirius could speak back, the workshop door in front of the three people was finally opened from the inside, blocking all the words behind Sirius.

Immediately, the witch who came out of the workshop frowned.

"When I heard about the Black family, I thought it was who it was! It was you who had long been removed by your mother... Why, you still have the face to call yourself black?"

But I saw that although the witch had a white and beautiful face, her words were extremely sour. In the fierce satire of Sirius, she did not forget to glance at Mundungus and lupin.

Descendants from pure blood families basically have a very detailed family education. This makes Higgs, while mocking Sirius, carefully confirm the identity of others present, so as to avoid provoking the wrong people with one mistake.

Of course, not to mention whether montungus remembered it or not, at least lupin recognized it.

After all, Lupin was hired by Dumbledore as a professor of defense against the dark arts, which is not a small thing in the British magic world.

Let alone, Lupin's father was a famous expert in the study of mysterious phenomena in the magic world.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for Higgs Gao to see where Lupin's mixed blood alone.

After glancing at lupin at random, her eyes fell on Mundungus again - just using the exclusion method, we can know that the dirty looking wizard must be the "old classmate" mentioned by the elf rice.

But when she wanted to belittle Mundungus again, Sirius sneered:

"I don't want this damn surname for a long time, but I'm the only one who is the son of the Black family? Otherwise! If you're willing to give your surname, maybe I'll give you the Black family Treasury key as a gift as soon as I'm happy?"

At this point, Higgs's white face had become iron blue, but she couldn't help swallowing.

How valuable is the Black family's vault? It was at least the wealth accumulation of a huge family for hundreds of years. Although Sirius was obviously teasing her, it still made people unconsciously startled.

"All right," lupin said after shaking his head in a funny way, "Ms. Higgs, although you said you didn't do business with wizards outside the pure blood family, I don't think you would refuse a simple and rich deal. Even if Mr. Black was just joking, it's always right to hold a lot of jingaron in his hand..."

Just as he said this, he took another step and said:

"Please forgive me, but you know... In this world, the life of every family is actually difficult. I think you won't be unable to live with Kim Garon?"

To say the current situation, a small pure blood family like Higgs is the most embarrassing.

When Maka, a Muggle born guy, competed with Voldemort and helbo successively, 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 to the black wizard in Maka's period of no decline.

What's more sad is that they can't afford to mix with the "inferior wizards" in their eyes in the past.

Although Higgs was dressed brightly on the surface, his tone was also domineering. But in fact, even her parents are not very happy now, let alone how much legacy she can leave in the future.

Speaking of it, the magic medicine workshop she now runs is not enough for her to decorate her pure blood surname.

"What deal?"

After hesitating for a moment, Higgs seemed to finally put aside his resistance.

"Oh, it's a long-term order for the treatment of the magic medicine - about the fresh white flavor." lupin smiled and said, "why don't we go in and talk about it?"

"White delicious?" Higgs heard a little light before he heard it, but he still tried to be strong and strong in his mouth. "Well... Well, please come in..."

Looking at the other party's back, Lupin turned around and winked at Sirius. The latter saw this and nodded softly.

Originally, they never thought of ordering the sort of treatment agent of whitescore essence, but the market price is quite high.

After exchanging eyes with Sirius, Lupin took the lead in following Higgs to the workshop. Behind him, Sirius and Mundungus, who had just been quarrelling, looked at each other, and even walked through the door together.

However, as soon as he got inside, Sirius frowned at the house elves.

When he followed Lupin's side and walked through the middle of the long table, he couldn't help muttering in a very low voice:

"... this is really an annoying place."

"Come with me."

Higgs opened the deepest door and, after leaving a word, walked into a corridor behind the door.

When lupin and Sirius entered the corridor one after another, Mundungus, who was at the end, took a sneaky look at Higgs's Potion preparation platform, and then hurried with him.
