Compared to Thorim and Silna who lived leisurely in Orvis Manor, Elrond who was far away in Selwyn Castle had a much harder time.

The Selwyn family is not an ordinary pure-blood family. This family is prosperous, and due to the huge power it holds in the Presbyterian Church, many old members of the family who should have died long ago are still alive. This creates a problem: at Elrond's age, he can be considered an old man in ordinary wizarding families, and he can rely on his elders to give orders. However, in the Selwyn family, he is still considered an"old man". child"——Children in their 60s.

Think about it, Elrond's father is still alive, his grandfather is still alive, his great-grandfather is still alive, and his great-great-grandfather is still alive.

How could Elrond speak in such an environment? Children do not have much say in a big family.

This is the rule everywhere, unless the child is extremely talented and has done many things that adults cannot do.

But look at Elrond, His two brothers are already great wizards, but he is not yet.

This makes Elrond, who does not have much say in the family, even more passive.

It can be said that, except for the younger generation of wizards and the family members, Elf, few in the castle will listen to Elrond.

Think about it, when Thorim returned to the castle in the first year, the ghost named Chido looked down on Elrond.

How many living people could look up to him?

It is true that Elrond is a direct bloodline of Selwyn, but his strength and his work as a curse-breaker mean that Elrond is not treated like a direct lineage at all. I have mentioned before about the strange phenomenon of curse breakers in the wizarding world: most wizards look down on the profession of curse breakers, but these dedicated curse breakers have indeed made indelible contributions to the improvement and invention of spells.

This is puzzling. Why are people who have made contributions looked down upon? Regarding this, just think about ancient Eastern countries. Even doctors who treated diseases and saved lives were looked down upon and regarded as a lowly profession. What's more, a job like a curse solver is extremely professional, but has little interaction with the general public.

And there is a concept that is deeply rooted in the wizarding world - especially for families like Selwyn, there is only one thing to judge whether a wizard is strong or powerful: that is combat ability, to put it more specifically. To put it bluntly - the ability to kill.

In this regard, wizards and Muggles are no different. Strong power will always give priority to killing.

If we think of wizards who are good at killing as soldiers, then curse breakers like Elrond, alchemists like Nicoléme, or potions masters like Snape, they make weapons, armor, and Someone who teaches soldiers how to use these things. A general who kills everyone on the battlefield will naturally gain more attention. Who will care about who made this general's weapons and armor? Who cares who taught this general how to kill enemies?

Coming from a family like Selwyn, but working as a curse-breaker, it's like having a man from a billionaire's family sweep the streets. It's normal for him to be looked down upon.

But things are different now. To be precise, since Thorim's magic uprising when he was 4 years old, and since Silna's transformation from a squib to a wizard, Elrond has become more concerned about those old things who should have died long ago. The status in my heart is different.

It is true that Elrond's elders are dark wizards, but dark wizards are not fools, nor do they only use power to force others.

Thorim and Silna are only close to Elrond.

Everyone in the family knows this, even the house elves know it.

Although Solim is just an illegitimate child, he can still be regarded as a member of Selwyn, especially after Solim showed extraordinary talent.

He was given the surname Selwyn.

If there were not those families The big boss here agreed.

How could Solim use Selwyn's name openly?

The situation with Sirna is even more like this: no one will believe that a little wizard who is only 11 years old can solve the problem of squibs.

Someone must have helped him.

This kind of thing can be understood with just a little thought.

things.

Will the big guys not figure it out? Besides, if one asked about the cause and effect of this matter, Elrond could only tell him honestly.

Now Solim is even more extraordinary in the minds of these big guys.

He has outstanding talent, extraordinary intelligence, and is ruthless at a young age - this refers to what Solim did in Skull.

Especially the last point is very popular with these old guys.

After all, these old antiques are strong men who have come out of mountains of corpses, seas of blood and various conspiracies.

They value Solim's characteristics more, and Solim's.

Compared to Lim, an illegitimate son, there are very few direct descendants in the family that can be talked about.

But this is what Elrond is worried about. He knows who these family elders are far better than Thorim does. Compared with them, Voldemort is as simple and kind as Teletubbies.

Cadmus Selwyn, the oldest living member of the Selwyn family.

You know, when he was first born, Nicoléme had just invented the Philosopher's Stone a few years ago, and he could barely be considered a wizard of the same era as Nicoléme.

Wizards like Selwyn would use the names of their family ancestors when expressing surprise or admiration, instead of calling Merlin like ordinary wizards.

Just like when Elrond saw the treasure that Solim packed back from Knockturn Alley at Hogwarts, he exclaimed"Ancestor Cadmus is here".

This old guy has lived from that extremely dark era to now. Most old people are very stubborn, not to mention"old people" like Cadmus. As long as he speaks out about family matters, he will always say it. Elrond knew very well that the matter of the basilisk could be hidden for a while, but not forever. At that time, the family would definitely attack the basilisk. This kind of thing was the same no matter which family it was in. It was just a matter of mild or violent means.

Judging from Elrond's understanding of the elders of the family, the latter one has definitely not run away. Because he has long been accustomed to giving orders, they have long been accustomed to no one refuting. But when they asked Silna to hand over the basilisk, what would Thorim do? To be honest, Elrond was really not sure.

After today's family meeting, Elrond's father told him that the family elders vaguely wanted to see Thorim and Silna.

Elrond dragged her there on the grounds that Sirna was receiving treatment at Orvis Manor.

Although those big guys would not surrender their status and go to Orvis Manor, Solim and Sirna could not be together.

Stay there during the holidays.

How many months of treatment? Ordinary wizards can fool them, but trying to fool those magic masters in this way is simply a dream, and it is impossible to fool them.

The question Elrond was considering now was not whether to tell Thorim or the others, but whether to go there now. There must be a reason why the elders of those families want to meet Solim. Their time is precious, and they cannot want to meet their descendants just because of a whim, even if the descendants are outstanding.

There are many shady things about Thorim, and Elrond is not sure whether they will be seen, because he does not know whether the things Thorim has done may have something to do with those big guys.

But there is one thing Elrond can still determine, and that is the issue between Solim and the Rich family.

This matter is something that the elders will definitely ask about, and the heir of the Rich family will be handed over to him through a black glove duel.

Get rid of it.

This is what Solim is most famous for.

Although the Rich family and the Selwyn family are both members of the Council of Thirteen, the highest body of the Presbyterian Church, and the Rich family is not very prosperous, as long as these big guys are willing to intervene and are willing to pay some for Solim price, then this matter can be settled.

For a moment, Elrond also had some impulse, wanting to ask the elders directly why they wanted to see Thorim, but this impulse was quickly suppressed by him, and he decided to go to Austria early tomorrow morning. Weiss Manor, first deal with some of the shady things on Solim's body.

They were a family after all, and even the dark wizards didn't say they would use Legilimency and Veritaserum as soon as they saw their offspring.
