The distance from the hill where the guests settled to the manor was not very far. In just five minutes, the two of them crossed the large grassland and arrived in front of Greengrass Manor.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a gilded bronze door, decorated with a large number of exquisite reliefs. When Ryan and the two of them approached the door, a man who looked like a powerful wizard on the relief turned his head and looked at
Ryan and the two of them.
"Visitors, tell me your name and the purpose of coming here." A middle-aged man's voice with a little magnetism emerged from the mouth of the relief. Although this voice did not have many ups and downs, it was just like those common artificial voices.
The intelligence is average. But the sound chosen by the room owner can still make people feel good.
"We just showed our friendship, now it's time to show our strength." Ryan smiled at Hermione, and then pressed the door with his right hand that exuded pink light. Just a few seconds later, the relief on his face
Then he showed a smile. "Ah, distinguished guests who have come from afar, please come in quickly. I have already informed the host and he will greet you in the living room."
"Don't look at me, we are not here for a raid. Naturally, we have to inform the master to greet him." Ryan explained in a low voice to Hermione who suddenly turned her head to look at him, "Besides, the City in the Sky is now at the highest level.
In the alert state, you can jump over through space at any time. Even if there is a mysterious person hiding in Greengrass' house, we don't need to worry."
As soon as Ryan finished explaining, the door opened inward with a creak. Behind the door was a French-style garden, which was densely covered with shrubs pruned into various geometric shapes and animal shapes.
In the middle of the garden is a fountain, which contains a sculpture of a girl holding a water bottle. A stream of clear water spurts upward from the mouth of the water bottle in the girl's hand, forming the image of a flower in the sky, and finally falls into the pool, making a tinkling sound.
The sound is like music.
At the back of the garden, a three-story beige building that is not very large stands there. The bronze roof has turned green due to long-term oxidation, but it looks very harmonious with this beige building. etc.
After getting closer, Ryan and the others discovered that there were intricate and exquisite gilded sculptures above each pillar, decorating the entire building magnificently.
"It feels like this place is much better than the Malfoy Manor." As a wizard, Hermione would not evaluate a building purely based on its appearance. However, after entering the manor, Hermione, who was in a state of preparation for war, could feel that there were a lot of designs around her.
Exquisite magic mechanisms protect this place. If compared with the Malfoy Manor, generally speaking, the Malfoy Manor is very good in terms of quantity of defense system, but the quality is still a bit inferior.
"This is normal." Ryan explained in a low voice. "Don't forget that the Greengrass family is one of the 28 oldest pure-blood families in the British wizarding world, and the Malfoy family is just an upstart from France. So there are many
At that time, even though the Malfoy family was one of the richest in the British wizarding world, some things were still unobtainable."
Stepping on the hard and smooth black marble steps, Ryan and the others came to a brown-red door. But before knocking, the heavy door opened like that, and a man who looked only much more mature than Dobby appeared.
The house elf appeared at the door.
"Welcome, welcome two noble guests to Greengrass Manor." After the door was completely opened, the house elf bowed deeply, his nose seemed to touch the floor.
Then she raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, signaling Ryan and the others to follow her. At the same time, she said in a sharp but not loud voice. "Mr. William is waiting for you in the reception room now. Madam and the ladies have fallen asleep."
, so please be quiet a little bit."
After saying that, the house elf took Ryan and the others to the side and walked into a corridor that seemed rarely used. Like the Malfoy manor, this place also had gorgeous carpets on the stone floor. But unlike Sirius or Malfoy,
Different from the Fu family's mainly silver-green decoration style, the colors here are mainly blue, white and yellow, and there is no such gloomy feeling.
Possibly for safety reasons, the head of the Greengrass family, Mr. William, opened a room that was rarely used. So along the way, Ryan even discovered that there was not even a portrait of the pure-blood wizard family here.
.
"Sir, I have brought the guests." Walking to the end of the corridor, the house elf of the Greengrass family said to a brown door, and soon a tired voice came from inside.
The voice of a middle-aged man. "Okay, Carrie, you go do your thing. Don't come over until I call you."
"Yes, sir." Carrie bowed and disappeared into the thin air with a snap. At the same time, the door at the end of the corridor opened silently.
Ryan took Hermione into the reception room, which was a small room with a small area but very exquisite interior decoration. A middle-aged man with blond hair was sitting on a red velvet high-back table next to the fireplace.
On the chair. After seeing Ryan and the others walking in, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the couch opposite the coffee table in front of him, motioning for him and Hermione to sit down.
The two of them sat down without saying a word. They watched William Greengrass make three cups of black tea, then handed two cups to them, and held one cup in his own hand.
For the next few minutes, the whole house was in an eerie silence. Only the occasional sound of drinking tea and the gentle clinking of cups and saucers kept the room from being completely silent.
Finally, as the head of the Greengrass family, William Greengrass couldn't hold it any longer. He put down the tea cup in his hand and broke the silence in the room. "I really didn't expect that you would find me in such a short period of time.
."
"It's not that big of a deal." Ryan also put down his tea cup and said. Although he won the game at first by relying on the opponent's eagerness, but facing the head of such a pure-blood family, Ryan did not dare to slack off at all.
"Don't forget, I can fight that person head-on. The traces you left are enough for me."
"——You're right," William nodded after a short silence. "That's why I chose to reveal this news to you, because only you and Dumbledore can stop the Dark Lord's next step.
Action, but I'd rather deal with you than Dumbledore."
"Is it because I'm younger and easier to deceive?" Ryan said with a arrogant expression, but unexpectedly, the head of the Greengrass family opposite him did not show an angry or embarrassed expression, but
stated in a very calm tone.
"No, I won't lie to you." William shook his head. "For wizards, power is everything. Lying to a wizard of your level is equivalent to bringing endless trouble to me and my family, so I won't
Will do it."
William Greengrass knew that he had to give Ryan an explanation today, otherwise Ryan would never believe what he said next. So after making it clear that he was not deceiving, he explained: "You are completely different from Dumbledore, principal.
He will not hesitate to sacrifice anyone, even himself, in order to achieve the goal of justice. There is a lot of information about the last war in my family that illustrates this point."
"But you are different. You are willing to protect those who seek refuge in you. For example, the Malfoy family. No matter how much the Dark Lord wants to kill them, there is nothing they can do."
"On the other hand," Mr. Greengrass paused for a few seconds, and then said frankly: "Your previous attacks on those who participated in the killing of Muggles scared me. I informed you that there is a person who
The very important purpose is to protect my family and my family."
