Chapter 947 Settle down
Although he received the task rewards and upgraded the wizard duel and Flitwick duel skills to level three, Albert still felt unreliable. At least, he never thought that he could win against Professor Flitwick firmly when he had an advantage. Even if he had two more duel-related skills, his strength had been greatly improved, but Albert still felt that his actual combat Lack of experience.
As for being able to win last time, it was completely dragged down by Professor Flitwick. If the opponent is a dark wizard, the winner must be determined in a short time. Unless it is a chase and escape, a battle may be very difficult. After more than five minutes, the strength gap between the two sides was too large, and they were even defeated just after the fight.
Professor Dumbledore can always easily defeat the enemy. Almost all Death Eaters are like babies who have no resistance in front of Mr. Principal.
Albert is actually very curious about the actual level of himself and Mr. Principal.
Well, he admitted that he was inflated, and wanted to fight Dumbledore to see how Dumbledore fought against others.
After all, it is the ceiling of combat power in this world. It would be even better if you can get Dumbledore's dueling skills.
people!
Sure enough, they are all greedy. They have already obtained a lot, but they still want more.
This can't be helped, who told Voldemort not to burp yet?
Albert made an excuse for himself.
The threat is still there, and Albert still feels that he needs to strengthen his own strength to ensure his own safety. It is better to rely on others than on himself.
In his impression, Voldemort's strength was almost the same as Dumbledore's. As for why that guy always lost to Dumbledore, in fact, he lost more to the Elder Wand.
In terms of magical power, Albert should be stronger than Voldemort, but he probably has no advantage or even a disadvantage against the Elder Wand.
Without Dumbledore's strength, you must not face Voldemort. His plan is to get some combat experience with Voldemort's minions, which can be regarded as a contribution to society.
Anyway, there are a lot of teams hunting down Muggle wizards in the later stage, and the more radical ones are "Voldemort" as a deadly method.
As long as you don't say it yourself, the threat level can be greatly reduced.
At that time, the right person can always be found to take on this heavy responsibility.
Actually, Albert didn't want to take risks, but he really lacked combat experience and could easily become a weakness. Fighting with Professor Flitwick may seem dangerous, but in fact Albert knows that he is not in danger at all, and there is no need to guard against the sudden death of Avada.
Moody is a good candidate, but now he is a fake
When the time comes, after I expose the fake Moody, I don’t know if I can use some affection to talk to the other party, and see if the other party can take some time to teach me.
Albert discovered that he really likes to absorb experience everywhere, and it is right to think about it, now is the golden period for him to accumulate experience and grow rapidly, and there is still pressure to urge him to move forward desperately.
This is undoubtedly the fastest and easiest way to become stronger.
Otherwise, when the magic world stabilizes, people will become lazy, and they will not think about learning these things again.
"What do you think?"
A familiar fragrance blew from behind, and Isobel, who was wearing a nightgown, reached out and put his arms around Albert's neck from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder, with a happy smile on his face.
"Do you like that house?"
Albert tilted his head to look at his girlfriend's side face, and asked while pointing to the photos spread out on the table.
The above are photos of rural houses of a certain age, and they are all houses in very remote places, but the overall look is not bad.
"Are you going to buy a house outright?"
Isobel let go, walked around the sofa and sat next to Albert, and picked up the photos on the table, which were obviously Muggle houses.
"Will it be expensive?"
"No, I have someone specially screened, the owner of the house intends to sell, most of them are located in remote places, with inconvenient transportation, some even have no water and electricity, or are directly abandoned, so the price is quite cheap." Albert explained.
"What about you, do you think that is suitable?"
Isobel believes that Albert must have a bottom line. She flipped through the photos and saw the address, contact number and approximate cost posted on the back of the photo.
These photos were obtained by Luke with help.
The cheapest house is only tens of thousands of pounds.
That’s right, 50,000, it’s the kind of place where the whole village is empty, there is no water or electricity, and no one lives there for a long time.
The more expensive ones cost two to three hundred thousand pounds.
Of course, being so cheap may also have something to do with the poor economy this year.
Isobel didn't know that Albert had already planned to take away most of the houses in the photo.
As for the British pound issue, it will be enough to win the prize again at that time.
Anyway, no one can control the chaos.
As for who wins the lottery, it doesn't really matter. Anyway, as long as they can win the lottery, these houses will definitely use spells to hide them in the end.
"You pick a few buildings first, and then we will go to look at the houses together, after all, we want to live comfortably by ourselves." Albert put his arms around Isobel, let him sit on his knees, sucked the fragrance of each other's body, and enjoyed the beauty In bosom, warm fragrance and warm jade, life is so colorful.
"Just these three." Isobel picked out three photos that looked pretty good.
"Then let's find time to go there tomorrow." Albert waved lightly, and the remaining photos automatically flew back into the envelope, and the three photos Isobel picked would be taken away by the house elf.
"So urgent?" Isobel raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised at the speed of the work.
"We're just going to check the specific situation. Then I'll let Bit find the way for us first." Albert began to become honest as he held Isobel's hand.
"You always like to be lazy." Isobel's cheeks flushed slightly, and he let himself snuggle into Albert's arms, and both of them could feel each other's heartbeat.
This is also impossible. If you don't know the exact location, you can't apparate.
It is the best choice to let the house-elf explore the way first. When the time comes, let the house-elf directly take Apparation to the past, which can save a lot of time and energy.
"Actually, I would rather build a house on the sea stall we have been to before." Isobel said in a low voice.
"It seems that you really like that place." Albert actually liked it there too.
"It was a beach full of memories." Isobel recalled.
"It's really nice there, but it's a bit of a hassle. I'm not good at building houses. It's definitely not comfortable to live in a random house. After all, we will live there for two or three years." Albert also thought about building a house there. The house was temporarily abandoned in the end. He does not have the technology, and going there now will only destroy the environment there.
"Yeah, live for two or three years." Isobel murmured.
"When we settle down in the future, we will occupy that place and build a beautiful villa there. At that time, as long as we use the Fidelity Charm, even the Ministry of Magic can't help it." Albert kissed the girl's cheek, like Said like a child.
"It sounds like a robber." Isobel said with a smile.
"It's not a robber, it's a pirate." Albert corrected.
"Pirates?"
"Yes, this country used to be rich in pirates." Albert said solemnly.
Staying in the area of the Loyalty Curse is also a helpless move. No one has a reason to live a life similar to being in prison. It will definitely be uncomfortable, but for safety, you must not leave easily, and you must not even reveal the specific location.
Albert wants to find someone for Isobel who can chat with her often. Her family is actually a good choice, but some things are not that simple.
Not to mention whether her family is willing or not, even if they are willing, it is actually inconvenient to live with them.
"Don't worry, we are at least lucky if we are prepared, and we don't need to worry like others." Isobel reached out and stroked Albert's cheek gently. In fact, she also knew that Albert was thinking about her own problems, so she was very relieved and helpless.
Do you need others to worry about you?
Isobel is also very assertive.
"It's late at night, let's go to rest."
"Late at night? Do your admirers know that you are flirtatious?" Isobel turned his head and looked out the window, the sky outside had not yet completely darkened.
"I definitely don't know." Albert said proudly, "My image outside has always been pretty good."
"Big liar." Isobel said with a smile.
"Besides, I really seldom lie." Albert said seriously.
"You like to mislead people with truthful information."
"Actually, I think the girls probably don't care. You know, most girls are more open than me." Albert didn't think he had a problem.
After all, food **** also!
"Besides, we are purely exchanging feelings, and love needs to be carefully cared for." Albert continued, "I suspect that most girls prefer bad men, because honest people don't have much flirtatiousness. Some girls hate it."
Albert was a dull and honest person in his previous life. He didn't know why he became like this, probably because the environment easily changed a person!
"You can always find a lot of excuses for yourself." Isobel doesn't hate it. If he really has no feelings, how can he let people who don't like him hug and joke at will.
Really think British gentlemen are gentlemen?
It’s like the civilized stick is not civilized at all. Are there still few cases of using it to smash other people’s heads?
Only the uncivilized need this thing to let people know that they are civilized.
"Do you want me to carry you back to your room?" Albert asked with a smile.
"Um."
Isobel smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Albert's neck, and was hugged in the posture of a princess.
"Heavier."
"Maybe I haven't exercised much recently."
"This is not a good habit." Albert felt that he was not qualified to say that again, "After the summer vacation, I will exercise with you."
"Men really like beautiful women." Isobel glanced at his mouth, "Will you dislike me when I get old?"
"Haven't you all been researching to make yourself younger, and now you have achieved preliminary results!" Albert kissed Isobel's cheek and said, "There is always a way, not to mention that you are still young now. Worry about that."
The two spent the night, and after Albert woke up, the house elf, Bit, had returned, humming an unknown tune softly, and preparing a hearty and nutritious breakfast for them.
"Go and rest first, it's not too late to go after you wake up." Albert was not in a hurry, and let the house elves who had been busy all night go to rest first. Anyway, it would not take much time to look at the house, not to mention that they only planned to go there quietly Take a look at the specific situation.
After a quick healthy breakfast, Albert flipped through the "Daily Prophet", except for a few articles that moaned without illness, there were not many valuable things.
"What are you going to do later?" Isobel lazily ate the very tender egg custard. Since she lived here, she has tasted many delicacies from various countries.
"Take care of that sailboat." Albert said without hesitation, "I plan to find time to go out for a sea trial another day to see if there is any problem with the boat, so as not to capsize in time."
The original small space inside the sailboat has been greatly expanded, and it can almost accommodate Hogsmeade Village inside. This is really thanks to the fifth-level Untraceable Stretching Curse, which completely stabilizes the space and does not cause it to collapse due to the large expansion. question.
There is a large farmland with a lot of vegetables and fruits planted on it. The tomatoes for breakfast are picked in it. Add to this the abundance of free-range hens, which is how the fried eggs on the dinner plate come about.
As long as it is completely completed, it is a mobile but hidden mobile fortress that stores a large amount of food, and can stay there for a long, long time.
It is Albert's back road.
Although it feels useless, we must leave a way out.
In the afternoon, the two went to see the house together.
The village was already empty, so the two quietly went to browse around the houses, and finally chose a villa with a sunroom.
The house is big, the location is remote, and the surrounding area is even useless for residents, which can save a lot of finishing work, otherwise, if a house suddenly disappears, the memory of the entire village will need to be tampered with. At that time, you only need to give the guy the pound , and then use a spell to tamper with the memory of the other party. Anyway, after the Loyalty Curse, no one will be able to see that house again, even the Ministry of Magic can only stare blankly.
That night, Albert wrote to Grandpa Luke, asking him to help him solve the house problem.
On the third morning, Albert received a letter stating that the transaction had been completed, and the other party was happy to sell the house that no one wanted.
On the same day, Isobel came to visit, blurring the memory in the other party's head, making him only remember that he sold a house.
"Things are simpler than I expected." Isobel murmured looking at the old villa in front of him.
"It's normal."
Albert re-examined the surrounding environment. It is a good place with a beautiful environment. There is a lake nearby, but the location is a bit out of the way. He plans to let the house elf Bit slowly deal with the problems here. Anyway, it will definitely need to be redecorated to live in, but Albert has experience in this area.
"I just don't understand why they gave up here."
"It's too remote here, and there's no running water and electricity. It's not comfortable for ordinary people. They don't look like wizards. It's hard to live without water and electricity." Albert can understand why the other party wants to sell this villa.
In fact, there used to be water and electricity here, but something happened later, which caused the population of the entire village to drop sharply. The cost of maintaining electricity and running water was too high, so they gave up, which directly caused the remaining few villagers to move out. , the whole village has become like this.
However, such an environment is very suitable for them to settle down.
If possible, Albert would like to buy the whole village.
