HP's Foreign Land

Chapter 269 Katarina

The two had a sumptuous dinner in the room, and the dessert was Draco's favorite blueberry and raspberry series of pastries. Heimdall was very satisfied with the large chunks of meat on the plate.

All in all, both gave good marks and had a pleasant dinner time.

After the meal, Draco took out the dessert he bought from Honeydukes Candy Shop, ate a ball of ice cream, and floated off the ground three times. The last time he sucked hard, he broke the original record, floating about a foot and a half distance, touch the wall excited face is red.

Heimdall lamented that he didn’t have a ruler at hand, otherwise he could record the specific numbers and send them back to Honeydukes. If the record is really broken, he can get a free copy of Honeydukes’ new products of the season as a reward.

When Heimdall thought of asking Xina to find him a ruler, Draco took out all the remaining ice cream balls to try, his mouth was numb from sucking, and he couldn't reach the height just now.

Although it was a pity, the two boys were still in high spirits, so what if they didn't get the reward, at least they witnessed it with their own eyes.

The two played for a while, and Draco proposed to write a letter to his parents. Heimdall felt that it was necessary. Although his father would definitely send back the news of their safety as soon as they arrived, it was nothing compared to his son. The autograph home book bar.

Looking at Draco who was leaning over the table and writing furiously, Heimdall was moved and thought of Victor, so he got up to leave and went back to his room to write a letter.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to find that the room was not empty.

Rommel was one of the two uninvited guests.The other is a female elder who talks in the front hall during the day.

She has short, thick gray hair and slightly curly hair. She doesn't look approachable enough. When her eyes roll around, she always gives people the illusion of being domineering, although she is always smiling, and the smile is gentle and easy-going.

However, this feeling suppressed her ordinary facial features, making it easy for people to ignore her appearance.

He was still wearing a sorcerer-red wizard robe with thick black twist piping, a small stand-up collar, double rows of black matte metal buttons, and two large and wide cuffs, gathered at the elbow joints to form two big trumpet sleeves. On the side, it will appear swaying when walking.

It's a pity that the elder's tonnage is far from graceful, and the two flowing sleeves are even more bloated.

Rommel, who was standing in front of the window, turned his head, and the female elder sitting on the sofa put down the teacup in her hand, and the flash of light in her eyes was so hot that it made people look sideways.

Heimdall was stunned for a moment, then closed the door behind his back.

The lock tongue was fixed with a "click", and although the vibration was weak, it was crisp and loud to the ears.

Heimdall put his hands down and looked towards them.

"Sit down." Rommel pointed to the wooden chair beside the sofa.

Heimdall sat down as promised, looked at him, then at her, hesitated for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"

Looking at his slightly embarrassed face, the female elder let out a "puchi" laugh.

"Rommel, your son is much cuter than you."

Heimdall was both puzzled and surprised, but there was no displeasure on Rommel's face, only a helpless smile.

"Little cutie, this is what you put together." The female elder smiled and took out the jigsaw puzzle.

Heimdalton's temples were sweating.

The smile lines on the female elder's face deepened when she saw it, "Don't be nervous, the puzzle should really be put together before it is broken."

Heimdall was taken aback.

In other words, their every move is under surveillance?Thinking about it this way, he immediately felt uncomfortable all over. He had no interest in the ancestral house in the first place, and now even the last shred of goodwill was gone.

"I didn't mean to monitor you," the female elder said calmly. "After everyone leaves the suite, I will send house elves to check the furnishings in the room. This is my responsibility. I am responsible for all the facilities related to Jolf in this ancestral house."

"Even if someone lives in the suite, I will still send house elves to check every day." The female elder added another sentence.

Heimdall Khan, is his resistance so obvious?

The female elder didn't care, and patted his hand, "Little cutie, why are you working so hard?"

Heimdall showed a puzzled expression: "Isn't it right to spell it this way?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Why is it wrong!" the female elder said enthusiastically. "I just want to ask the reason for such a fight."

reason?

Heimdall was even more puzzled, his face wrinkled into a bun shape, "I think it's the right way to spell it out, so I did it like this." After a pause, he said unnaturally, "At the beginning, I wanted to finish it quickly. Putting it back, I didn’t dare to think about it after starting a head, so I followed the line of thought at the beginning and arranged it down,” and asked anxiously when talking about it, “Is it right to arrange it this way?”

"Actually, the original puzzles are arranged like this." The female elder took out her wand and tapped on the photo frame. The puzzles inside quickly changed positions, and a different puzzle appeared in front of her eyes.

Heimdall suddenly became interested, couldn't help opening his eyes wide, grabbed the photo frame and began to study it.

The female elder didn't care about his impoliteness at all, with a cheerful smile in her eyes, as if she appreciated his thirst for knowledge very much.

After a while, Heimdall picked out a few pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, changed their positions, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was possible to put together this way. Then, he tried to turn the other pieces, and the result did not disappoint him. The jigsaw puzzle still fit perfectly. Hold up.

An excited smile appeared on Heimdall's face, completely immersed in the fun brought to him by puzzles and ancient runes.

As more and more types of puzzles were placed, the expression on the female elder's face had changed from pure joy to shock. As the words placed became more and more difficult, the naked heat in her eyes was even more intense than before.

The way he looked at Heimdall also changed drastically.

She looked up suddenly, and there was a gentle smile in Rommel's eyes, without any surprise.

After a while, the boy sighed and returned the photo frame to her. She took the photo frame and looked at the list of words on it for a while, speechless.

"How many sets have you spelled?" She heard her dry voice that had no chance of being beautiful, and was frightened by the hesitation in her tone and the expectation that was stronger than hesitation.

She hastily pursed her lips.

Heimdall rubbed his nose, and said embarrassedly: "You can only spell out ten groups, and the rest will not work." He sighed weakly, "The ancient runes are too advanced."

The female elder tried her best to be as quiet as possible, but her hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, and the shock in her heart can be imagined.

Rommel smiled even more when he saw it.

ten groups...

The female elder felt that the blood in her whole body was clamoring for this number.

Inspired by a certain classic, Yolf used his own knowledge to single out these foil characters that have always been used to rhyme or enhance the effect in ancient runes, and made this puzzle.For hundreds of years, there are very few people in the family who can use these corner characters to spell out rune phrases, and those who can spell out more than five correctly are even rarer in a hundred.

Others may not know it, but she knows it all too well. A total of 21 groups were determined after Yolf's arrangement and testing.

After years of painstaking research, she can spell up to sixteen groups, which she thought was the last one.

However, she was too self righteous.

The kid managed to spell out ten sets in such a short time.

If she remembered correctly, the ancient rune course was only offered in the fourth grade of Durmstrang Academy.

The female elder calmed down and said with a smile, "I heard that Cardiff Bangor asked you to compile a brand new Durmstrang black art textbook?"

"It's all about assistance." Heimdall shook his hand. "Just ask me to confirm the level of black magic teaching in the school. It's not my turn to compile textbooks."

"Excessive modesty is pride."

Heimdall was stunned, and suddenly became quiet, looked at the ceiling, and then said happily: "This whole semester, I have eaten to compete with the boys, and my feet are windy when I walk, and I can wake myself up when I have a dream at night."

The female elder laughed loudly, hugged Heimdall and kissed and kissed again, spitting on his face.

"Rommel, I've taken a fancy to this little cutie, let him go to me."

"Good idea!" Rommel rolled his eyes unceremoniously, frowned in front of her, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his son's face.

Heimdall was surprised by his father's ruthlessness, and even more surprised by the indifference of the female elder.

"Little cutie, my name is Katerina, Katerina Matthewson Sturluson, just call me Katerina, the elders and elders call her old." The female elder refused to let go and hugged him Self introduction.

Heimdall was taken aback by her sudden "coquettishness".

"Katerina is the first and only elder with a foreign surname in the family." Rommel added.

"What kind of surname, nonsense, since I married into the Sturluson family, I am a Sturluson." Katerina complained that Rommel could not speak.

"In fact, I always thought you would remarry, but I didn't expect you to stay at our house and refuse to leave after I have a son." Rommel sneered.

Heimdall pursed his lips and blinked.

Katerina waved her hand, as if she didn't care at all, "The Sturlusson family has given me such a high status, for so many years I have lived in high-rise buildings, silk and satin for me to wear, and all kinds of delicacies for me to eat, I'm used to being pampered and pampered, where can I find better conditions than this, and when I die, I will be buried in the family cemetery, together with my husband who has long been a pile of bones, and this life will be considered complete .”

In fact, it is true. As long as she does not remarry for a day, the whole Sturluson family will respect her for a day, her position as an elder will not be shaken, and her honor before and after her life will also rise with the tide.

Just because Katerina lost her husband in her early years—a love story that can be described as epic, but also because she has no children...

Rommel sighed inwardly and changed the subject.

"Can you let go of my son quickly, I'm almost crushed by you."

"What a crush! I'm so graceful and slender!" Katerina stared, but she let go of Heimdall.

Katharina was very interested in Heimdall, and asked some questions carefully, both in life and learning. After listening to him talk about his interests, progress and doubts in learning, Katharina's eyes sparkled Bright.

"Little cutie, since you are so interested in studying, I will take you to a good place tomorrow!"

Without waiting for Heimdall's reaction, Rommel's neutral voice came.

"It's not about taking him to Yolf's small study, I don't think the amount of books there can match my son's IQ."

This is too much!Heimdall was embarrassed.

Katerina laughed, "You Rommel will also have a miscalculation one day! Although he is the patriarch, he is not an elder after all, and there are some things they will not reveal to you."

Rommel smiled sarcastically, and was not surprised by this statement. He knew that the elders had reservations about him, but he didn't care about those so-called "secrets" at all.

Katerina was very measured, seeing that Rommel was not surprised, she did not take the initiative to reveal the secret.

"The small study room is now fully entrusted to Solger, and other clansmen are not allowed to enter or leave without his permission."

After a while, Rommel suddenly realized "ah", nodded, "Solger, you mean Mr. Reincarnation."

Katerina didn't see through his pretentiousness, just smiled lightly.

"You really have no interest in him at all. I even gave you his name by insinuating. Don't you worry?"

Rommel said calmly, "You are not worried. I have nothing to worry about. Anyway, something happened in the end, so I am not required to come out to deal with the aftermath." His tone paused. "Don't you remember how many so-called 'reincarnations' I have dealt with for the elders?"

Heimdall was shocked.

Katerina smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and said, "I remember that since you became the patriarch, you have dealt with a total of 36 'reincarnations' who cheated the world. I don't know if the other elders still remember."

Rommel smiled, "I didn't expect that."

"It's nothing, it's normal for me, because I don't believe in any damn reincarnation!"

Heimdall stared at Elder Katerina with wide eyes, and saw her calm eyes and calm demeanor, as if the "shocking" words just now did not come from her mouth!

"In the end, I'm just the daughter-in-law of the Strulusson family, and I haven't received the family's brainwashing education. In my opinion, Yolf is a dead genius." Katerina smiled at Heimdall. "This genius is indeed quite a genius. With a single sentence before his death, the clansmen behind him can't be stopped for hundreds of years. It is rare in the world that any family has such an honor."

"But his knowledge is indeed profound, which is remarkable." Katerina took a sip of tea. "So I haven't figured it out for so many years. Apart from talent and learning, what else can make a family blindly search for the so-called reincarnation for centuries. Are everyone crazy?"

Heimdall would love to applaud her sarcasm and sanity.

"I see that you are wandering around that Solger, it's quite plausible." Rommel joked.

"I can't help it. It's not for living. I also want to innovate, but if I do this, my title of elder may be lost."

"Master." The voice of the house elf suddenly sounded in the air.

This time, Heimdall sat on the chair very calmly.

"What's the matter?" Katerina said nonchalantly.

"Mr Solger's house-elf is looking for you."

"what's up?"

The elf paused, "He refused to tell Maisui."

Katerina was silent for a moment, and ordered, "Let him come and talk to me."

In the blink of an eye, a house elf appeared in front of the three of them, wearing tattered clothes, stooped, gray skin, patches of light brown spots on the face, sparse white hair on the top of the head, big eyes, but There is no brilliance, and it looks lifeless.

Heimdall guessed that the house-elf was probably quite old.

"Master wants the key to the study corner cabinet." It seemed to be very difficult to speak, the speed of speech was slow, and the voice was very low and hoarse. Listening to him, I felt that my chest was holding a breath, and I couldn't spit it out or swallow it. go down.

"Oh, I forgot! This is so good! This is so good!" Katerina suddenly returned to the exaggerated style in the front hall, screaming excitedly. "You didn't delay your master, did you?"

He stared helplessly at the house-elf, so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Master... Master is not angry..." The house-elf was probably startled by her eagerness, and became incoherent.

"Quick, quick, quick! Maisui, give him the key!" While saying that, she stomped her feet angrily, like ants on a hot pan. "Why did I forget such an important thing, old man! You must explain it to your master, I didn't mean not to give it..."

The house elf quickly disappeared after taking the key, and Katerina's "explanation" has not yet finished.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

"...Master, it's too much." Maisui's voice came faintly.

Katerina didn't seem to hear it, and calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe her forehead, and then stroked her temples, with a calm expression on her face.

Rommel laughed.

Heimdall couldn't help but laugh, this elder is really a character!
