I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 164 There is no free lunch in the world

On Saturday morning, Orlando woke up early, and Hermione also dressed up. The two met in the auditorium, had a simple breakfast, and then walked outside the school.

"Why do you think this Fuad Shafiq is so talkative all of a sudden? I always feel that there is a conspiracy in it." Hermione muttered as she walked.

"I asked the teacher. The surname Shafiq is an ancient family, the surname of a pure-blood family, and one of the "28 sacred" families. This kind of ancient family is generally not short of money. I don't think so. Offend me because of a house, after all, I am now recognized as a thunder star in the magic world." Orlando boasted.

"Go, how can anyone boast about themselves like that." Hermione was amused by him.

The two walked quickly to the outside of the school gate, and saw a group of dementors on duty from a distance. Before they got close, the dementors seemed to be greatly stimulated, screamed piercingly, and then rushed away They disappeared without a trace, leaving only the two Aurors on duty at a loss.

Hermione gave Orlando a strange look, Orlando shrugged, and the two left the school gate one after the other.

"Wait." An Auror on duty stepped forward, wanting to check, but was held back by his companions.

"Wait a minute, please," another Auror said, "You are Lord Orlando, Thunder Star, right? I am Ted Tonks, I used to study at Hogwarts, and now I belong to the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic , Nice to meet you." This is a woman with chestnut hair, big and bright eyes, and a beautiful smile.

"Hello, I'm Orlando, do you need to check?" Orlando always greeted polite people with a smile.

"No, no, today is Hogsmeade's day off, I know students can come and go as they please. Is this your female companion, she is so beautiful." Tonks is a very talkative woman, and a few words can make people feel happy Have a good impression.

Hermione blushed shyly, but nodded politely and said thank you.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Orlando smiled and nodded at her.

"Goodbye." Tonks waved his hand and returned to his original position to continue on duty.

Orlando vaguely heard her companion say in amazement: "He is the manic Orlando? So young? Doesn't he look manic?"

"Be quiet, Sim, you haven't gone far yet, if you want to be struck by lightning, don't hurt me." Tonks said reproachfully.

Hermione covered her mouth for fear of laughing out loud, while Orlando had a black line on his face.

"What is "Manic Orlando", is he so manic? Who gave the nickname, let me know that I have to beat him up." Orlando slandered inwardly.

"Let's go, manic boy, don't be stupid." Hermione smiled until her eyes narrowed. She took Orlando's hand and strode forward.

"Is Mr. Fuad here?" Orlando knocked on the door, and it was the doorman who opened it.

"Mr. Orlando, please come in quickly. The master has been waiting for a long time." The gatekeeper is a squib. Although he doesn't know magic, he still knows the news from the magic world. His attitude was much more respectful than last time.

There is only one path leading to the manor. Layers of hedges separate the inside and outside of the manor. From a distance, it looks like an ancient forest densely packed and insurmountable.

Passing through the forest, the eyes suddenly open up. The courtyard paved with brown granite has a green light because of its age and blends with nature, forming an interesting contrast.

The magic fountain lost its magic power due to the long-term absence of the owner. It was dealt with alone in the center of the courtyard. On the other side of the courtyard was an old castle built on the mountain. The vines lying limply on the city wall looked desolate and dilapidated.

An old man who was nearly fifty years old stood at the gate of the castle, and he opened his arms to welcome him from a distance.

"Welcome my distinguished guest, Mr. Orlando Bloom. I have heard your name frequently recently, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to see you. Today I finally got my wish. You are younger than I imagined."

Fuad Shafiq is well-dressed and looks like a successful businessman. Orlando secretly checked with the power of his soul, and found that his magic power should not be strong in general, but there are three hidden magic fluctuations on his body, which should be The magic props that they carry with them show that even if this ancient pure-blooded family declines, it is not comparable to ordinary wizard families.

"Mr. Fuad Shafiq, you have won the award, and I am very happy to meet you. This is Hermione Granger, my good friend, and I hope you don't mind."

"Hi Mr. Fuad Shafiq!" Hermione nodded politely.

"What a beautiful little girl, you are welcome."

After exchanging some pleasantries, Fuad Shafiq invited everyone to enter the castle, the gatekeeper served brewed coffee, and several people sat in front of the fireplace drinking coffee and chatting.It can be seen that he is a very talkative person. He has connections with magical families from all over the world, chatting about magical anecdotes from various countries without making people feel disgusted.Then he changed the subject and began chatting with Orlando about family matters.

"Mr. Orlando is really enviable to learn from Master Nicole Flamel! How is the master?" He asked with concern.

"Teacher, he is very nice. Last time, for my business, there was a little conflict with the Ministry of Magic, and he directly overthrew a team of Aurors. I feel very guilty as an apprentice." Although I don't like socializing, it doesn't mean Orlando Silly, how could he fail to hear Fuad's obvious temptation.

"Oh, there's this thing?" Fuad's surprise was beyond words. The magic world has long been rumored that Nicole Flamel is about to die. He didn't expect to be able to use magic. A team of Aurors, you must know that anyone who can be selected into the Auror Office, a powerful law enforcement department of the Ministry of Magic, is a powerful wizard.

"Yes, otherwise the Ministry of Magic wouldn't rectify my name, and I wouldn't be able to appear in front of you, Mr. Fuad, don't you think so?" Orlando no longer hid his cultivation, and his whole body flashed with mana. Fleeting, even this shocked Fuad unceasingly. The powerful magic pressure made it impossible to believe that this was a teenager.

"Hahaha, you are indeed the introductory disciple of Master Nicole Flamel. You are young and promising! You are awesome!" Fuad praised several times in a row, and Orlando smiled at him, and he did not feel complacent. This made Fuad De's evaluation of him has risen to a higher level.

Before coming, Orlando specifically asked Nicole Flamel how to deal with this pure-blooded ancient wizard family. Nicole Flamel only said four words at that time: "Show your strength."

This is why Orlando, who has always liked to hide his clumsiness, suddenly showed his strength.

After a moment of silence, Fuad seemed to have made some kind of decision after deliberating for a long time. He said, "Mr. Orlando is lucky to see this manor, my Shafiq family. Originally, this manor was one of the inheritances of our ancestors. No matter how unfilial the descendants are, they should not sell it. After much deliberation, I decided to present the manor to you. This will not only complete the friendship between you and me, but also prevent me from being called an unworthy descendant. What do you think?"

Orlando felt a "thump" in his heart, a manor for nothing?There is no free lunch in the world.

Then Orlando tried it out with his eyes, and soon understood that this Fuad Shafiq was so scheming, a manor not only let him owe him a favor, but also tied Nicole Flamel to their family chariot.

If he agrees to his suggestion, Fuad can spread the word that Orlando, the closed disciple of Nicole Flamel, has a deep relationship with the Shafiq family. If you don’t believe me, he lives in the manor of my Shafiq family.

If he is more shameless and vaguely brings Nicole Flamel into the publicity, it may cause shocks in the magic world, and those powerful figures will have to think twice before facing this declining pure-blood wizard aristocrat .

"Hehe, Mr. Fuad's words are a bit hypocritical. The friendship between you and me for the first time is not enough. Besides, the reason why I came here is because your servant put up a sign for sale, otherwise I would You won't come to your door, I think you are also a successful businessman, let's talk about business, let's talk about the price, if it is suitable, I will take it down, if it is not suitable, I will turn around and leave, no matter what."
