Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 129 Nobles and Ambition

Ulysses picked up the wine glass and looked at the crystal clear wine inside, which was filled and glowing mysterious, like a bright starry sky.

“The traditional grape varieties of Jerez are made with a unique taste. I have to say that Muggles do have their own uniqueness in winemaking.”

Hill Boss commented with a faint smile, and picked up the wine glass in front of him, “Calvados, produced in your country-France, is known as the’cider water of life’.”

“Slightly heard.”

Ulysses spoke softly, took a sip of the liquor, and suddenly felt hot in his voice, followed by a burst of sweet fragrance.

“These few glasses of wine are of great value in the Muggle world. In the wizarding world, it also costs a few gallons… Money is really the most touching thing in the world, isn’t it?”

Hill Burst shook the wine glass in his hand, leaned against the back of the chair, adjusted to a comfortable posture, raised his chin slightly, “In the Muggle world, money can do almost anything. This is capital. The foundation for our existence. In the wizarding world, it can also solve most of the problems, the strength of the Ascension, the continuity of the family, and even the election of the Minister of Magic.”

“So it is sometimes the Devil of cholera.”

Ulysses raised his eyelids slightly, and said, “The volume of gold is worn down by 14% every year. This is the so-called loss. Therefore, the 1.4 billion gold circulating in the world consumes 1 million every year. This One million gold turns into dust, flies and floats, and becomes atoms light enough to be inhaled and exhaled. This inhalant is like a heavy burden, weighing on the conscience of people, and chemically interacting with the soul, making the rich become arrogant. The poor have become fierce.”

Hill Bossd’s face clearly showed interest, and he asked with interest:

“Then do you think I have become arrogant?”

“When we met for the first time, Mr. Burst, I don’t think I can give a specific evaluation. But as far as the current contact is concerned, you fit the image of aristocracy in the eyes of the world, elegant, rich, and elegant.”

“noble?”

Hill Boss smiled contemptuously, and said with emotion, “In fact, there is no such thing as aristocracy in the wizarding world, because there is no king in the wizarding world to grant titles and lands. It’s just that the land of the pure-blooded families is They were defeated by themselves, and their position in the wizarding world is supernatural, so they claim to be aristocrats and no one can say anything.”

“It is undeniable that hundreds of years ago they were worthy of their self-proclaimed aristocratic status. They were powerful, ambitious, and had the means to match it. But now? At sunset, they are old and old, but they are just a bunch of native chickens. That’s it.”

“Perhaps this evaluation is biased.”

Ulysses was silent for a while, and said lightly, “As far as I know, there are still many pure-blood families that still maintain considerable strength and heritage.”

Millie sipped the wine, a trace of confusion in her eyes. She didn’t know why the two people suddenly talked about this topic, she didn’t even have room to interrupt.

Hill Burst took a look at Ulysses and suddenly laughed:

“Almost forgot, you have the surname’Lestrange’ after all…This family is now sparsely populated, and their underground vaults are everyone who wants to get a share of the pie. It is the oldest and most mysterious of Gringotts. One of several vaults.”

“It’s a bit unsuitable to say frankly in front of me, Mr. Burst.”

Ulysses said helplessly.

“just kidding.”

Hill Boss squinted his eyes and then said, “But then, I still insist on my point of view. Maybe they still have some strength, but in the past few decades, they are no longer considered nobles. ”

“True nobles will not indulge themselves, let alone think that they have the opportunity to make mistakes. Because their personal actions are closely related to the family and the people in the territory. Those who consume their lives in indulgence are the turbulence of abandoning the sense of responsibility. My son, this kind of person is not worthy of becoming a nobleman. Noblemen have the ability to make a comeback, but they don’t have the freedom to fall and fall.”

“Behind the depravity of a nobleman is his family and the cost of many people who depend on his family to live without food and clothing.”

Ulysses pursed his lips, a little confused as to the intention of Hill Burst. He knew well that “talking shallow and avoiding deep words”, but this was the first time we met, Hill Burst put on such a heart-to-heart posture, which made him a little bit overwhelmed.

Hill Burst tasted the taste of the wine, then put down the wine glass, put his hands on the table, looked at Ulysses and said:

“Actually, you probably didn’t know that you are already well-known in the British magical world, Ulysses Lestrange. Some time ago, the Shafik family enthusiastically issued a reward order, but suddenly disappeared a few days ago, as if This incident never happened.”

“Under my investigation, the Shafik family lost two experienced wizards, and their Patriarch lost an arm and a leg… When I learned this news, I still couldn’t believe it, a third-grade wizard. Students at school can pose such a big threat to a pure-blood family…”

Speaking of this, Hill Burst paused, glanced at Millie on the side, and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect to meet you in Gringotts today. I have to say it’s fate.”

“so……”

Ulysses’ eyes flashed with brilliance, thoughtfully.

“We have a common goal. The Shafik family is your enemy, and I also need to bring down a pure-blood family and replace it. The Shafik family is undoubtedly the best goal.”

Hill Bosd sat up straight, his voice was slightly cold, “For centuries, those pure-blood families have had a pathological obsession with the number of’twenty-eight’, and the number of pure-blood families must be maintained at a constant level. Twenty-eight, one less or one more will not work, they are extremely exclusive.”

Ulysses watched him and stopped talking.

Hill Boss said with a smile, “I know what you are thinking…I just belittled them to be worthless, and now I want to replace the Shafik family as one of them. Isn’t this a contradiction? But in fact, I am confident that I can carry forward the glory of a true aristocracy after I go further.”

“However, nobles will pursue wealth, but just possessing wealth will not become a noble, Mr. Burst.”

Ulysses said softly.

“Of course I know.”

Hill Bost smiled freely, “What should a real nobleman look like? The benevolent is not worried, the knowing is not confused, the brave is not afraid. I have been leading the Bost family in this direction.”

“Now, I need to know your attitude, Ulysses. I will help you collect all the information of the Shafik family, including important personnel movements, family territories, possible background, and if necessary, I can also provide gold coins and strength support. . And what I need is you to help the Bostead family be included in one of the 28 pure-blood families. How?”
