"It’s okay, it just seems like it’s a bit overdone!"Xia En waved his hands and said indifferently, and then began to ask,"Professor, you asked me to come here, is it because I can visit your Dumbledore family's old house?"

"Yes!"Dumbledore nodded, and then continued,"Another member of my clan has agreed. You can refer to the Dumbledore family's collection of books as much as you like."

"That's great!"Xia En rubbed his hands,"Without further ado, shall we set off now?"

"good!"

As soon as the words fell, the flames of the phoenix instantly enveloped the two of them and disappeared.

The old mansion of the Dumbledore family was built on a river valley in the Scottish Highlands, embedded on the edge of a cliff, with the same height as the mountain. It is high, with a deep river valley on one side and a lush broad-leaved forest on the other.

The old house is a medium-sized old European-style castle, made of huge hard rocks. It exudes an ancient atmosphere even more than Hogwarts. The castle is even thicker.

The castle seems to have used unique construction techniques. The gray-white outer walls are covered with dark green moss and vines. The entire castle seems to grow naturally from the stone without any abruptness. The overall color is very natural and blends deeply into the surrounding environment.

"Wow~ Professor, you have such a nice place, why do you still live in Hogwarts during the holidays? What a waste!"Xia En exclaimed as he looked at the castle in front of him. It's really a pity that this castle is abandoned here.

After scanning the environment around the castle, it can be said to be very magnificent.

There is a waterfall not far away, which was set off when it fell down the cliff. The water mist glows with color under the sunlight.

There is a dark green pool at the bottom of the waterfall, and you can see many wild fish swimming in it. It looks like it should be very delicious.

"This castle has a history of over 1,200 years. I visited a few times as a child, but I have never been here since my family and I moved to Godric's Hollow!"Dumbledore looked at the castle in front of him calmly and said,"It's too far here and too quiet. What fun would an old man like me have in staying in such a big castle?"

As he spoke, he took out an old copper key and opened the nanmu door of the castle.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door and entering the first floor, the space inside was much larger than expected. It must have been cast. The reason for the Traceless Stretching Spell or a similar spell.

If you dare to enter, you will first see an oval-shaped hall. In the center of the hall floor is a light yellow carpet with a phoenix pattern. Looking up, there are phoenix branches on the ceiling. style hanging lamp, with unburned candles placed inside. On the left side of the hall is a very antique kitchen, with several slightly white wooden cabinets arranged together, a stone cistern and cooking The stove is used.

The kitchen and dining room are connected. In the middle of the dining room is a long marble table with some earthy yellow patterns. Next to the long table are a dozen chairs inlaid with various crystals.

On the right side of the hall is the living room, for the owner to rest. There are wooden tables and chairs in the living room, which are cushioned with some complete furs of unknown animals. There is also a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets on the table. , covered with red cloth.

Walking through the living room, there is the staircase leading to the second floor. There are more than a dozen large square vacancies dug out in the stone wall next to the stairway, which are used to place some exquisite collectibles: gold Phoenix silk robes, treasures and other items

"There are eight large bedrooms and a living room on the second floor. It is said that when distinguished guests came to visit in the past, the Dumbledore family would invite them to the second floor, which was the most luxurious and luxurious place in the entire castle."

"One floor further up, there is a large room on the third floor and a living room decorated with marble fireplace. The room has a large window overlooking the entire river valley. My grandparents once lived there.

"The fourth floor is an empty attic with nothing in it."

Dumbledore calmly introduced his family's old house. He looked as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

But at this moment, Shane noticed the difference in Dumbledore's introduction just now. There was a loophole, so he asked doubtfully:"Professor, you said that it is a place where people live, so where are your family's book collections?"

"Come with me!"Dumbledore only said one sentence, and then walked towards the stone wall where the collection was placed.

He took out his magic wand and chanted an unknown spell against the wall, and then there was a strange sound, and the entire wall The stone wall suddenly slowly opened to both sides, revealing a downward staircase.

"All the Dumbledore family books are here!"Dumbledore said, then stepped on the stairs with one foot, and then the candles on the wall were automatically lit. Shane followed him curiously.

After a while, the two of them went down to the library under the castle.

After opening the door that had been sealed for a long time, Xia En couldn't help but utter Chinese quintessence to the scene in front of him.

"Damn it!"Shane had an incredible look on his face.

The library in front of him was so big that it was almost as big as half of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.

Huge bookshelves as far as the eye could see were neatly arranged here, and above them were It was stuffed with various ancient books and scrolls scattered here and there. On the ground, there were also many scattered books and scrolls piled together. There was a mountain of books piled as high as half a bookshelf. That ’s so high.

I really have to say that it’s the Dumbledore family, one of the oldest families in the wizarding world. It has a really deep heritage! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It’s a pity This generation has a man who likes men, and I don’t know if this family can continue the family lineage.

Xia En stepped forward and randomly pulled out a book from the bookshelf, but a burst of dust followed. It choked him all of a sudden.

"Cough cough cough……"With a look of disgust on his face, Xia En fanned the dust from his face with his hand, then looked at the clear fingerprints on the book in his hand, and couldn't help but complain,"Professor, how long has it been since anyone took care of this castle? Your family has not House elves?"

"In fact, more than half of the books here come from the goblin clan!"Dumbledore explained,"More than two hundred years ago, my great-grandfather was one of the leaders who suppressed the goblin rebellion launched by the goblin Sloppy Lara."

"After humans won the war, my great-grandfather brought back all the goblin books he had collected and stored them here. From then on, the Dumbleys never allowed domestic elves to enter the library."[]

"The last elf who served the Dumbledore family was named Sanger. He died in an accident while protecting my mother, and was later buried in the cemetery in Godric's Hollow!"

"So that's it……"Shane nodded in realization.

The goblin clan has been very capricious, greedy, and selfish at all times in history.

Although after the failure of the two goblin rebellions, most of the goblins were domesticated into house elves, and all their heritage was confiscated and burned by human wizards, there is no guarantee that there will not be some aliens among these elves.

And if this alien happens to be the one who manages the Dumbledore family's book collection, who knows if this will lead to the third goblin rebellion.

In addition, Gringotts, the only wizarding bank in Europe, is controlled by goblins.

According to their virtues, if the third goblin rebellion really happens, they will turn the entire magical world upside down. Shane doesn't know, but at least the entire European currency system will be paralyzed.

But at this time, someone said that if house elves can be used, human wizards can be hired!

To be honest, there is no need to say much about the wealth contained in such a large library. If someone from outside the clan is allowed to take care of it, no one can say whether some selfish things will happen.

If someone unknowingly takes some secret techniques from here and sells them, the price will definitely be high.

So in the end, the sparsely populated Dumbledore family had no choice but to take care of the family's book collection.

As the story goes, I'm afraid no one has taken care of this library for more than a hundred years.

"Here is the key to this castle, you can use it as you wish!"Dumbledore suddenly handed the copper key to Shane,"I need to go to Albania in the next period of time. After I come back, I may need your help with something."

"There is no need for a key. As long as I go to a place once, I can use magic to go there at any time in the future!"Xia En said with a smile,"As for you saying that you need my help with some things, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

"Thanks!"Dumbledore nodded (Okay, okay), but he did not put away the key in his hand. Instead, he continued,"But you'd better put the key away! To be honest, this castle and these books are of no use to me or the Dumbledore family!"

"They have been left here for more than eighty years, and I don’t want this precious treasure to be completely buried in the mountains and forests after my passing!"

"So, you mean, give me this entire castle!"Xia En suddenly looked shocked, and countless exclamation marks and question marks popped up on his head.

This good guy, flying banners!!!

"Yes, consider it my reward for asking you to help me!"Dumbledore returns to Doya

"Ouch, what kind of reward is not rewarded! Professor, you are too foreign!"Xia En took the key without leaving a trace, grinning,"If you need help with anything, just ask. Even if you say you want all of Voldemort's Horcruxes now, I will find them for you in a short time. Come!"

"……"

Dumbledore looked at the dog-faced man in front of him speechlessly, and his expression changed faster than changing clothes!

So he shook his head helplessly, then turned around and walked out of the library regardless of Xia En.
