[comprehensive] life journey

Chapter 2

Merope held a new one thousand pounds in her hand, and then began to look for a hotel. She decided to let herself find a place to stay first, and then everything else could be said.Fortunately, there is a small family hotel within a few steps of the pawn shop.

"Hello, I need a room." Merope came to this family hotel, and then supported his body that was almost unable to hold on, and said to the fat blonde woman who was free and eating melon seeds.

The fat blond woman was very impatient, and she said some unclean words, such as "You are so shabby, do you have money to pay the bill?", "It's really bad luck, such a woman came here."... .Dirty mouth.

But after Merope took out the pound, the fat woman immediately turned from disdain to flattery, "This beautiful lady, come, I will show you the room."

After finishing speaking, as if she was afraid that Merope would go back on her word and left, she took her to the room before Merope could speak. Don't you know that this is exactly what Merope wanted.

After arriving at the room, Merope found that although the boss had a bad attitude, the condition of the room was not bad. The room was clean and tidy. There was even a bouquet of flowers on the table, although it was wild flowers.The grounds are also very clean.

Under such conditions, the business is not good as a result, probably because of the 'eloquence' of the proprietress.

Merope sat on the chair propped up and smiled, "Boss, can I trouble you to prepare a suit of clothes for me, and then have some food?"

Seeing that the proprietress seemed to want to say something, Merope put a pound on the table, "Of course, I will pay the boss for these." After saying that, he pushed the money and pushed it in front of the boss.

When the fat boss saw the money, he immediately smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll get ready right away, you have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, she took the money and turned around and walked away with ease. That quick movement was not at all sorry for the lump of fat on her body.

However, looking at the bed next to him, Merope felt that everything was unimportant, and he could finally sleep well.

......

"Bang bang bang" knocked on the door, and Merope was woken up. He looked at the time and found that it had been an hour since he went to bed. The proprietress must have returned.

"Please come in." Merope stood up and said out loud.

Hearing Merope's voice, the blond lady boss opened the door and came in. Behind her was a teenage girl, with clothes in one hand and food in the other.

"Miss, this is what you want." The proprietress put the things in her hand on the table.

Merope looked at the meal, and couldn't help but saliva in his throat, but now...

"This is the reward, thank you boss."

......

After the proprietress took the money and left happily, Merope got out of bed and prepared to eat.

Although I am not used to British food, it is too greasy, and it is really inappropriate for Merope, who has not eaten for a long time.But in order not to starve to death, Merope still ate the fried chicken and fish.

After eating, Merope took a few sips of hot water, then went to bed and continued to sleep.

Merope feels that his current physical condition still needs to rely on rest and eating to recover. Although there is spiritual spring water, it does not represent food!

She had a good rest for three days before her body fully recovered, and Merope was going to Gaunt Manor next.

Before Merope went downstairs, he asked Mrs. Sheen, the previous blonde proprietress, to rent a carriage for him. After all, Gaunt Manor was not in the city of London. If he wanted to go to Gaunt Manor, he still couldn't rely solely on his feet.

After going down, Merope settled all the expenses for the past few days to Mrs. Sheen, and then took a carriage to the outskirts of London where Gaunt Manor is located. Merope Gaunt lived in a small village nearby. The man I once loved the most, that is, Mr. Tom Riddle.

But from then on, the two are destined to have nothing to do with each other, and the child in his womb will never be named Riddle. He may have the surname that belongs to the four giants of the wizarding world, Salazar Slytherin. With the approval of Hogwarts, becoming the master of that castle, he will no longer be rejected by the castle that originally belonged to Slytherin for any other reason.

Or maybe he took the surname of Gaunt and became the heir of Slytherin with a "Parseltongue"... But no matter what, Merope vowed that he would never let him repeat the tragedy in the original book .How stupid is a wizard who can divide the soul!Originally, he was completely comparable to Dumbledore, or even surpassed Dumbledore, but he was doomed to fail only because of the so-called pursuit of immortality!

To be honest, when Meropp thought of this, he really felt that the reason why Voldemort got the book on refining the Horcrux must have nothing to do with Dumbledore. As for the head of Slytherin, Slughorn, he probably had nothing to do with it. nice one.

And although Merope doesn't like the wizarding world's excessive pursuit of pure blood and hatred of ordinary people, she also doesn't agree with Dumbledore's so-called "Muggle protection theory". The emergence of a super weapon, the emergence of □, allows Muggles to burn the wizarding world in an instant.

So how do you protect Muggles?In the end, all the little wizards became specimens of the Muggle Research Institute, or did Dumbledore really think that wizards and Muggles could really live in peace.

No, it is not possible.Merope knows that it is impossible for wizards and Muggles in this world to live in peace. This is not because wizards are not friendly enough, but precisely because wizards do not have the ability to truly protect themselves. If the HP world and some novels As described, if a wizard's forbidden spell can destroy a city, then sooner or later, wizards will be accepted by ordinary people, because no matter who they are, they are eager for power.

But the situation in this world is not the same. Although wizards have some abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people, they are just tricks. Even the death curse Avada, one of the three unforgivable curses, can only kill one of them. one person.The wizarding world has developed so far that there are no group attack spells, and even the so-called white wizard Dumbledore does not want students to learn black magic.

In addition, although the lifespan of wizards is longer than that of ordinary people, the birth rate of wizards is too low!Of course, apart from the Weasley family, other families, especially pure-blood families, have a lower and lower birth rate. If this continues, the wizarding world will disappear without others.

After Merope got off the carriage, he walked towards his own castle while thinking about his own affairs.She understands that many things cannot really be avoided if you escape.Just like the big mess in the wizarding world, sooner or later someone will take the lead, so as the heir of Slytherin, whether he wants to or not, he has a great possibility to take on this responsibility.

So even if it's for the sake of the child, Merope can't just be so ordinary.The Gunter family itself is an ancient pure-blood family, and later married with the direct descendants of Slytherin, so that now that there is no one in Slytherin who can inherit it, the Gunter family naturally became Slytherin's family. synonym.That's why the successive patriarchs of the Gunter family chose to marry internally in order to keep the blood of their clansman pure.But they didn't know that it was because of this appearance that more and more squibs appeared among the already few descendants of the Gunter family, and more and more descendants became mentally unstable.

It can be said that the last heir of the Gaunt family is either scary with high magic power, or a squib!

......

Merope pushed open the door of Gaunt Manor, and entered this one of the most prosperous families in the wizarding world.The fluctuation of magic in this huge manor has almost disappeared, which makes it looming in front of the eyes of ordinary people. If there is not the existence of the Muggle Repelling Curse, it is estimated that this place may have been discovered by the nearby residents long ago.

Merope looked at the manor. Although it was very dilapidated, it could still see its original glory.It covers an area of ​​nearly [-] acres, which is even wider than that of the Malfoy Manor. You must know that the Malfoy family is a pure-blood family that has been brilliant until now, and their manor covers an area of ​​only four. Fifteen hundred acres.So from this point, it is completely possible to see the background of the Gunter family.

But because the spirit of several generations of heirs is not very stable, the original glorious Gaunt Manor gradually began to decline.Stepping on the yellow fallen leaves, Merope walked into this manor with a history of thousands of years. Looking at the dilapidated buildings around, she walked into the most magnificent castle in the manor.

There are nearly a dozen Gothic buildings in the Gaunt Manor. Except for the castle where the direct clansmen live, the rest are either for the collateral clans to live in, or the library, the spell room, etc.You must know that the Gaunt family never went to Hogwarts to go to school after Slytherin disappeared, so the elders will definitely prepare everything for the little wizard in his manor.

After she entered the castle, she first went to the study room where the owners of the previous generations lived. Although the owners of the previous generations were all in the portraits, they were free to shuttle between any portraits in the castle.But just like the past Hogwarts headmasters, they would not leave the study under normal circumstances, even they would rather sleep in the small secret room in the study than come out to see these unworthy descendants who do not conform to their will .

Although Merope was not the heir of the patriarch, because at that time the Gunter family had only Marvolo Gunter, Morfin Gunter and Merope Gunter left, plus Merope It was a squib, so Marvolo Gunter revealed some things that the non-owner of the house could not have known.For example, how to enter the master's study.

But these all require magic power. If the current Merope is still a squib, then even if she becomes the last heir of the Gunter family, she will not be able to completely control the Gunter Manor.

But as a coincidence, when Merope was resting in the space two days ago, he accidentally found a small sapling with milky white fruit beside his spiritual spring. That milky white fruit is the marrow washing fruit of the cultivation world.
