Chapter 15: Ghost Castle & Base

The golden sunset selflessly sprinkles her brilliance on the sea!

The angry waves hit the reef by the sea fiercely, as if there was a sworn feud between them, but the only reward for him was broken bones.

Gradually, the night came up, and the strength of the waves weakened little by little, and finally, it became calm.

After the moon came out, it covered everything with a layer of silver powder.

Also not far from the sea, the mysterious swamp was also covered by moonlight.The black castle in the center is weirdly distorted by the moonlight.Everything fell asleep in this quiet atmosphere, except the people in the castle, they still have a lot of work to do!

Mel has her hands full, it's her 20th day at the castle,

After seeing his father off on the first day, Mel chose the third room on the second floor as his temporary living room, because it only had one door, it was big enough, and it was also very cool.She and Mimi cleaned the room and put up the small tent for the family picnic.Afterwards, she asked Mimi to magically bring their luggage and belongings over.

The next day, after eating some bread and drinking milk, Mel took Mimi up and down the castle, checked it carefully, and made statistics.The castle has five floors and two basements.The largest tower has four floors.The other two are two floors.According to Mel's statistics, there are 118 rooms in the entire castle.Most of the rooms are empty, and the furniture in the furnished rooms is rotting.It's strange that it survived in such a humid environment, Mel grumbled.There were several rooms that were supposed to be the rooms of Tildamar herself, a lot of eccentric things, and her picture, though immovable but not rotted, was obviously enchanted.One of the rooms had a Boggart in a locker.Take Mel off the hook.Fortunately, Mimi closed the cabinet door in time, it would be nice to have a house elf.Mimi also tells her that there is a room in the west tower with a ghoul.Mel decided that she should only provoke that ghoul after she could protect herself!

The basement is more interesting. The basement on the first floor is the kitchen and food storage room, warehouse and so on. Mimi used to sleep by the fireplace in the kitchen. The reason why I say that is because now Mimi and Mel sleep in her room. Because Mel was afraid to sleep by herself.

The basement on the second floor surprised Mel. This was the magic laboratory of her great-grandmother, and one was where she made potions.It's also dirty and messy, one is a big basement, I don't know what it is for.There are also a few rooms with only fences, like a prison. Fortunately, Mel didn't find any bones in it, which made Mel feel relieved.

After Mel finished looking at the room, she began to worry about it. At noon that day, she made a long list and asked Poseidon to bring it to her father. Some warehouse, she'll send Mimi to pick it up.

Then, she and Mimi started throwing out the rags, yes, still rags.

They cleaned every room, starting with the tallest north tower.Valuable gold and silver vessels, silver handles of rotten doors, gold inlaid ornaments, everything of value, were placed in the wing of the hall on the first floor.

And those unknown items with magic.They put it in an empty storage room in the basement on the first floor.

The rest rotted into strands of curtains, cabinets that fell apart when pushed hard, rotten doors that fell from the door frame when pushed, and carpets with a layer of green hair.Throw it all away.

Of course, it was said that they were all Mimi's doing, and Mel was just directing or helping them, so when they ransacked the entire castle, Mimi was already exhausted.Mel seemed to have just climbed out of some ruins.

For dinner, they just found some convenience food and warmed it up casually. After taking a bath, they immediately went to bed and fell asleep soundly.

On the third day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, Mel was dug out of the tent by the house-elves who were determined to obey the master's orders.

After eating the breakfast brought by the elf, the energetic Mel started another day's work.

Their plan for this day was to clean up the room, starting from the north tower as well. Mel could also help with this, so the one-man elf started the long cleaning work.Fortunately, the windows of the castle are part of the magic of the castle. They have not been broken due to their age, and they are as bright as new after being wiped, which makes Mel and Mimi feel much better.But that's the only thing that makes me feel good, and the rest is long cleaning and cleaning.

It took them six days to clean the top and bottom of the castle, when Athena, my father's owl, arrived, and my father told him that the furniture and things she had ordered were in place.This is a big project, and it is too difficult for the house elves to transport so many things to the castle.Mel asked Mimi to come in little by little, and they made a little change to the castle every day. Gradually, there was a large sparkling crystal chandelier in the castle hall, and the mirror next to it was replaced with a brand-new gold-frame carved crystal full-length mirror.The marble floor was covered with a Persian carpet with golden and dark red intertwined patterns, and there were two lush laurel potted plants. Mel was no longer in Room [-]. She moved to the hostess' room on the second floor, which used to belong to Til Dama, but she has now been moved to a storage cabinet in the basement. Her new bed is a four-poster bed carved in antique pineapple wood, surrounded by light green gauze, and a warm fire can be gasped in the fireplace at any time , the floor is covered with Persian carpets with dark green dahlia flowers and golden branches, and the curtains in front of the windows have long been replaced with velvet floor curtains of the same color, also decorated with golden tassels.Her wizard clothes were all placed in the dressing room next door. There was a large wardrobe with a few wizard robes hanging there, and the rest of the place was empty.Her broomstick was placed in a conspicuous position, supported by a four-corner bracket.

Her study room is on the third-to-last floor of the North Tower. There are several large bookshelves in the room, full of magic books that Mel found from her great-grandmother's relics. From this person's books, we can see her arrogance to the world. .There are three small narrow windows in the room, and two of them can see the distant sea. Mel will spend some time here every day to do homework.

The fourth floor of the North Tower was converted into an owl shed by Mel. Poseidon was very satisfied with having such a large owl shed, and the speed of sending letters was much faster.Since Athena took a rest here, she also fell in love with it, and the correspondence between Mel and her father was almost arranged by it.For this, Poseidon is still a little dissatisfied.

None of them was as happy as Mimi's, though.

Now the house-elves are almost obsessed with the kitchen, a complete set of knives, exquisite tableware, a magical oven that Mel specially ordered anonymously from Hogsmeade, and a long dining table of beautifully textured primary-color gravel wood, which can accommodate twenty people at the same time. dine.Of course, there is also a warm nest specially prepared for Mimi.The current Mimi is much healthier than when Mel first saw her. Mel gave her some very beautiful sheets, pillow covers and so on. Now the little girl will be dressed every day for a month without repeating the same.

Mel also ordered two cookbooks for her, one is "A Gathering of Great Britain - A Must-Have Book for House Elves" and the other is "Teaching You How to Cook Chinese Cuisine". Mimi loves these two books. Can't put it down.

They did not touch the courtyard of the castle, which still looked desolate and uninhabited from the outside.Because Mel has decided to treat it as a secret base.

Check out her renaming of the castle "Black Dragon Group", a whole underground underworld.
