[comprehensive] life journey

Chapter 3

To be honest, Merope didn't dare to take it at first, because she is pregnant with a child after all, but after learning about the efficacy of this fruit, she still started to wash the marrow and cut tendons, because Merope was doing a physical examination for herself. It is discovered that the child grows because of absorbing the magic power in the mother's body, but Merope is a squib, and she has no way to absorb magic power in the external environment.Over time, it will naturally absorb magic power from the beginning, and then start to absorb vitality later.This may be the reason why Merope died as soon as Tom was born in the original book.

And although vitality is more precious than magic power, this is not the case for wizard cubs who are still in the womb.If the wizard cubs are not nourished by continuous and stable magic power, they are likely to cause squibs, or regular magic riots afterwards.

Faced with this reality, Merope had no choice but to drink the marrow-washing fruit in the space, because there were too many impurities in her body, but she never expected that after the marrow-washing was completed, Merope, who was originally a squib, would actually With magic power, one can truly become a wizard.

Although Merope doesn't feel inferior because he is not a wizard, but he has a son who is going to live in the wizarding world, and his mother is more proud of being a wizard than a squib.

Squibs are not Muggles. Unlike Muggles, there is no magic power in the body, but the magic power is stored in the body and cannot be volatilized.Merope became a Squib because of too many close relatives in his body, not weak magic power or any other reason.The Gunter family has pure blood, and with the Slytherin blood, it can be said that as long as the Gunter family is not a squib, they will have more magic power than others.This is why the wizarding world pays more and more attention to pure blood.

[Open the door! ] Merope used Parseltongue to open the study of the head of the Gaunt family. She had to successfully obtain the consent of those old-fashioned portraits at home, so that she could successfully inherit the Gaunt family.This is why in the original book Voldemort was unable to change the dilapidated situation of the Gunter family even after he knew that he was a descendant of the Gunter family, because he was not recognized.

Merope walked into the study and looked at the only room that could show the background of the Gunter family. This room was full of ancient magic items inherited from the Middle Ages.If any one happens, it will cause a major disturbance in the entire wizarding world, but now they are all staying peacefully in the study of the Gaunt family.

But one bad thing is that you can only look at these things but not move them until you are recognized by the family.And the heirs of the Gunter family have not been recognized for several generations. Of course, this is why the Gunter family declined.

Ignoring the calls coming from nowhere, Merope resolutely walked to a bookshelf next to the desk in the study, and then said [Open, Gaunt. ]

After Merope said these words, the study of the Gunter family, which had not been opened for hundreds of years, was finally opened again.

"You mean?" A mirror suddenly appeared, and the silver-haired man opened his eyes and looked sharply at Merope at the door.

Before Merope could reply, the silver-haired man spoke in the aristocratic aria commonly used by the Malfoy family in the original book, "A Gaunt, and a very powerful Gaunt."

"I haven't seen such an excellent Gaunt for hundreds of years! Then, please come in! Come and see if you can..." The silver-haired man's voice became smaller and smaller, so that even behind him To the point where Merope couldn't hear at all, but the silver-haired man's mouth was still moving, but there was no sound.

Seeing this situation, Merope nodded respectfully, then walked around the mirror and entered the secret room of the Gunter family. Patriarchs, those great wizards who once dominated the wizarding world.

Merope walked slowly to the side, step by step. Although he said that because he was a descendant of the Gunter family, his life would not be threatened, but as the head of the family, some dangers were still unavoidable.

But to my surprise, when Merope successfully walked in front of the portrait, nothing unexpected happened. This surprised her who thought it was very difficult. Although there was always that haunting voice along the way, But this is trivial to Merope, who has traveled countless times and has cultivated his soul to be extremely powerful!

After arriving in front of the portraits, Merope input his magic power into the portraits and began to wake up the sleeping portraits.This is also to test the upper limit of the family head's magic power. After all, if you want to take on a family, strong strength is essential.

When each generation of future Patriarch conducts trials, the previous Patriarch will extract the magic power from the portrait, and then let the portrait fall into a deep sleep.

But Merope was a little worried, because he hadn't been injected with magic power for hundreds of years, who knows if the magic power needed this time would be unexpectedly large, so when preparing to input magic power, Merope prepared in advance Drink the spiritual spring water so that you can restore your body at any time.

Merope attached a small button in the middle of the bottom end of the portrait with his hand, and then began to inject magic power, bit by bit...

The magic power was being absorbed more and more. At first, Merope could control the loss of her own magic power, but gradually, she couldn't control it anymore. The magic power in her body was rushing towards the button like a river. A silver light gradually glowed in the room, little by little, the light became bigger and bigger, and the whole room became brighter and brighter, and even at the back, Merope had to use his other free hand to cover his eyes to avoid being overwhelmed. Dazzling silver light.

"Uh." Merope snorted and fell down. Yes, she has awakened the portrait, and at the same time, the magic power in her body has completely disappeared.

"Merope Gunter, stand up." Just as Merope was sitting on the ground and slowly recovering his physical strength, a very mean voice came, and the voice was very arrogant due to the excessive aria .

Merope looked up and saw that the person speaking was the portrait at the bottom of the portrait wall. According to seniority, it should be the last Patriarch before Merope.

"Yes, sir. Maybe you can tell me what to call you?" Because his tone was really unpleasant, Merope also responded with the same tone, and asked the name of the man in the portrait very bluntly. This is very impolite for pure blood families.

Sure enough, as soon as Merope's words came out, the originally very arrogant man's face turned black and ugly, "Oh, Merope, maybe you should re-learn the family tree belonging to the Gaunt family!"

He uttered the following sentence, "Learn the family tree of the Gaunt family", word by word, with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Hearing this sentence, Merope didn't have any special reaction, but raised a very bright smile, "Hey, so the ancestors of our great Gunter family didn't know that no one has opened this room for hundreds of years. Is the secret room belonging to the head of the Gunter family? Even the current Gunter family has declined to the point where I am the only one left?"

"What did you say?" Originally, only the man was talking to Merope, but when this sentence came out, all the ancestors of the Gunter family looked at Merope, and everyone's eyes were very sharp.

"I'll go out and have a look." A man who couldn't hold his breath said, and disappeared into the secret room after speaking.

During the time when this portrait was released, the secret room became quiet, everyone was thinking about something, and the quietness bit by bit tormented the restless hearts.

After a long time, the portrait that went out returned to his frame, with a sad or sad expression on his face, his eyes did not know where he was floating, and an air of emptiness exuded from his whole body.

"Edson, what's the situation outside?" The portrait at the top looked at the man who walked out before, and asked.

Edson was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Maybe we have been asleep for too long, the Gaunt family has completely changed, our home has begun to decline, and there is not even a house elf in the entire manor, let alone a house elf." Don't talk about the descendants of the family..."

Edson's words made all the portraits look somber, especially after hearing that "even our estate is close to being exposed to Muggle eyes."

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of the already heavy-faced portraits became even more ugly, and they became silent.There has never been a day when they hated their own incompetence. Why did the once prosperous Gunter family become like this?

"Merope, why? Why did it become like this?" The man who spoke at the beginning turned his attention to Merope, and the fire in his eyes seemed to be Merope who caused the Gaunt family to become what it is now. .

Merope looked at him with a sarcastic smile, then straightened his waist and looked at the portraits that had cast their eyes on him, and said with a smile, but the words were full of coldness, "You are here Are you questioning me? But, isn’t it you who caused this situation? Our once great former Patriarch?”

"If it wasn't because you stipulated that the Gaunt family must marry within the family, how could the Gaunt family become what it is now?"

"What do you mean?" At this moment, even the most amiable portrait at the top frowned. Merope's words really angered these high-ranking men.

Merope was not frightened by the anger in so many eyes, but continued to say slowly, "What do I mean? Am I not explaining the reason for what happened outside to you? Why are you so unmannered and don't know Maybe you thought you were from some small family! Oh, that’s right, the current appearance of the Gunter family might not be as good as those new small families!”
