Chapter 22 Two or three things on the eve of departure
"Huh? Did you hide something under your clothes?"
Benitez suddenly noticed that the small breasts of the silver-haired little Luoli were bulging, and it was obvious that something was stuffed inside.
"Huh? By the way, that roll of parchment hidden behind the picture frame..."
Following Benitez's line of sight, Elena looked at her chest and suddenly remembered the old roll of parchment filled with small words that she picked up in Dumbledore's office in the afternoon. Because of a series of events that followed.
, if Benitez hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten to open it and see what was inside.
"I don't know, but I think it's nothing more than a spell, a magic potion formula, or some documented records."
Elena shook her head and said as she took out the yellow parchment from her clothes, unfolded it and glanced at it curiously.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge snake-like S-shaped emblem, which looks a bit like the logo of Slytherin House, but is more primitive and mysterious. Below this emblem, there are several slightly faded ones crowded together.
Strange mark.
A little further down, there is a large row of densely packed text. The first sentence at the beginning is——
[I hereby certify with this land registration document: The great Slytherin family, forever enjoys the property rights of the following land, the registrant, Salazar Slytherin...].
“Land registration certificate?!”
Elena's little hands shook and she swallowed.
Like most countries in the world, the UK implements a property rights registration system. Land in the UK can be registered in the form of absolute property rights, limited property rights, possessory rights or valid leasehold property rights.
The so-called land registration is actually the registration of land and its buildings, that is, real estate or real estate registration. For the land carrying buildings, based on the principle that houses are subordinate to the land and the houses follow the land, the land ownership certificate and the attached
In the cadastral map of the parcel, it is stated with both text and graphics.
In other words, a valid [Land Registration Certificate] is equal to [Land Ownership Certificate] + [Real Estate Certificate] of all buildings on it.
As for the specific location of this land and the buildings on it...
Elena didn't even need to read the text details carefully. The familiar castle building drawn at the bottom of the parchment was enough to explain everything - Hogwarts -
In an instant, this light roll of parchment seemed to become hot and heavy.
"Elena? What is this?"
Benitez's voice seemed to come from a far away place, waking up little silver-haired Luoli whose mind was blank.
Elena shuddered suddenly, folded the stack of yellowed parchment in her hand in a panic, and stuffed it back into her chest. She even felt as if her heart was about to jump out.
How to do how to do?!
She accidentally took away the title deed to Hogwarts?!
"Nothing...just a very powerful magic spell."
Elena took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and replied with a slightly trembling tone.
"..."
Benitez glanced at Elena silently. Although he could not see the content clearly because of the angle, such a complicated graphic record clearly looked more like some kind of document or contract than a magic spell.
"Is it dangerous?" Benitez squatted down, his brown eyes meeting Elena's gaze.
"I can't say it's dangerous, but it's definitely more difficult."
Elena thought about it carefully, shook her head and begged in a low voice, "Anyway, Dad, just pretend you didn't see this."
"All right."
The man carefully checked the expression of the silver-haired little Luoli, hesitated for a second or two, relaxed his brows, and nodded.
Standing up, Benitez walked to the door, took out a wad of banknotes from the coat pocket on the hanger, put it in Elena's hand and said.
"By the way, I heard Professor McGonagall say that pounds can be exchanged for wizards' coins, so I specially withdrew a thousand pounds from the bank today."
"No need, Professor Dumbledore said that Hogwarts has a scholarship for every orphan, and this money is left to Bran and the others..."
Elena scratched her cheek and raised her hand without any hesitation, ready to put the money back into Benitez's generous hand.
"I have already rejected it for you, regarding the scholarship." Benitez said calmly.
"Huh? Are you stupid..."
The silver-haired little Luoli looked dumbfounded, and then shouted anxiously. She was also preparing to rob Dumbledore, the hidden wealthy wizard, tomorrow.
The expression on Benitez's face flashed with tenderness, and he gently stroked the girl's long silver hair with his palms.
"I can fully afford your schooling fees, and I don't want you to be laughed at by your classmates in your new school just for a small scholarship."
"But……"
"You are not an orphan, Elena!"
Benitez raised his voice, interrupted the little girl's complaint, and said in a deep voice.
Elena raised her head, and Benitez's shadow was reflected in her lake-blue eyes. The man looked a little panicked and a little expectant, but more of a doting look like a father - just like Ai
Linna had been trying not to think of the rickety figure in her previous life who had the same look in her eyes.
"..."
"I told you, don't touch my head all the time."
After a few seconds of silence, the silver-haired little Luoli shook his head in dissatisfaction and turned around to prevent the man from seeing his expression.
"...After cleaning up, please help me wash my hair. It's greasy and uncomfortable."
"Stupid dad."
…………
The next day, before dawn, Elena had already climbed out of bed.
After freshening up a little, the girl rubbed her eyes and walked to the kitchen as usual. In order to ensure that the other children could have breakfast on time, she had to get up early to prepare.
But to her surprise, when she arrived, someone was already busy in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Elena."
Hearing the footsteps, Benitez turned around, smiled and said hello.
"Hey~ Good morning, daddy..."
The silver-haired little Luoli rubbed his eyes, yawned and answered subconsciously. As he spoke, the girl's blank eyes slowly fell on Benitez's face, gradually focusing on him.
"Wait! Why are you here! You are almost healed after a long time. Just lie back!"
Elena's face was stern, she put her hands on her hips, pointed her finger at the door, and said angrily.
"Don't worry, I have fully recovered. Thanks to the help of Professor McGonagall, to be precise, I have never felt so healthy."
Benitez laughed, and while speaking, he bent his arms to show off his strong biceps. The muscles on his thick and powerful arms were bulging high, and the powerful curves were enough to make most nymphos.
The girls screamed.
"Even if you are well, according to the agreement, the kitchen is my territory. Get out of here!"
Elena rolled her eyes unmoved, put her hands on Benitez's back, and pushed him toward the door.
Although Benitez's cooking skills are not the common dark British cuisine, they are only slightly above the passing line.
Not to mention, since she started taking over the food at the orphanage, Benitez has barely cooked.
"You should rest today. You just washed your hair last night and it will get dirty again when you cook the eggs."
Benitez raised his hand, intending to rub the little head on his chest out of habit. After thinking for a while, he finally put it on the girl's slender shoulders, effortlessly turned Elena in one direction, and pushed her out the other way.
The kitchen.
"Besides, what will you do after you go to school? You have to let me practice your skills first and get your feeling back, right? Go back and put on new clothes, and then wait for the professor from Hogwarts to come and take you shopping. I'm here, don't worry.
."
"No, what you made is really terrible..."
Snapped!
While the two were still in a stalemate, there was a crisp sound in the air outside the door.
"Sorry, it seems I came a little early."
Dumbledore's gentle voice came from outside the door, "If you don't mind, would you like to let the children try the breakfast prepared in the Hogwarts kitchen?"
