Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 170 New construction workers are already in place
On the second day, Kyle met Daphne several times, but the little girl was very talented in acting, and every time she saluted politely, then walked away with a smile.

I can't see the slightest difference, as if it wasn't her who talked to Kyle yesterday.

This made Kyle sigh that sentence again:
Truly a Slytherin.

There is no difference between the day and the past, going to and from the classroom, library, and auditorium.

Soon, it's time to go to the old house.

After dinner, Kyle led Hermione towards the gate of the castle.

Not surprisingly, Daphne was already waiting here.

Since two security guards were sent by the Ministry of Magic to the gate of the castle, it has become empty here. As long as there is no Quidditch match, almost no one will pass by.

Looking at Daphne standing there quietly, Hermione's eyes widened in surprise, her face full of doubts.

The girl subconsciously thought that Daphne was blocking them and caught their violation.

Seeing the little witch's uneasiness, Kyle explained with a smile: "This is Miss Daphne, who is in the same grade as you, and you should know him. Today he is going to visit the old house with us."

"Visiting the old house?" Hermione asked back in a daze, and then suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.

Think about who are the people in the old house now?

Several scientists captured from the Muggle world are serving Kyle and researching something.

Other than that, there are werewolves who have sworn allegiance.

And even though she didn't officially admit it, she was actually already a disciple in essence.

This made Daphne's colleagues seem a little meaningful.

Hermione is really smart, she guessed some truths in just two sentences.

Difficulty unlike a werewolf.

A nobleman like Daphne would certainly not easily join Kyle's command.

This so-called visit may be more of a consideration and show of favor.

It seems that my senior Kyle has officially attracted the attention of those big forces.

Seeing that Hermione understood, Kyle also cast the Disillusionment Charm for Daphne, and then they walked out of Hogwarts in silence all the way.

"Kreacher!"

Hogsmeade, in a corner where no one was paying attention, Kyle called the house elf and ordered him to take the three of them back to the old house.

The destination of the apparition is the hall of the old house.

At this time, the hall was brightly lit, and Mrs. Black sat gracefully and luxuriously on the chair in the portrait.

The portraits attach great importance to this visit from Daphne.

Because this is the first time in recent years that a pure blood who is also an heir to the nobility has stepped into the old house.

This was regarded by them as the first step in unblocking the old house and returning to the sight of the magic world.

Daphne's etiquette is impeccable. First, she quickly glanced at the family emblem on the wall. Although she couldn't hide the surprise on her face, she still held her skirt and bowed gracefully to Mrs. Black:
"Good evening, Mrs. Black. Please excuse my intrusion."

"Good evening, Miss Greengrass."

After that, it was a commercial exchange with a very aristocratic characteristic.

The conversation between Mrs. Black and Daphne opened Hermione's eyes.

It's the first time she's ever met a real Slytherin, how they talk.

It can only be said that it sounds like a bouquet of flowers, but after careful analysis, it is all hypocritical politeness.

The two exchanged pleasantries for nearly 20 minutes, but there were only two sentences to sum it up.

Daphne: Good evening, excuse me.

Mrs. Black: Good evening, don't disturb, have fun.

Interspersed in the middle are all gorgeous rhetoric, exchanging with business.

The little witch who heard it shuddered, and couldn't imagine how painful it would be if she lived in such an environment.

But obviously the two people who were talking to each other were very adaptable to such an environment, and they had a very happy chat.

Kyle saw the little witch's discomfort and took the initiative to interrupt their conversation:
"Mrs. Black, Daphne, it's getting late, let's start visiting."

Although Hermione and Kyle were a little impatient for waiting, Mrs. Black chatted very happily.

She has not participated in such a social interaction for many years.

But since Kyle opened his mouth, Mrs. Black stopped chatting.

Instead, she gracefully gestured to Daphne to visit freely, and then left the portrait.

"Hermione, do you want to walk around with us, or go directly to the library to read?"

After thinking about it, the little witch rejected Kyle's invitation and chose to go to the library.

She guessed that the relationship between Kyle and Daphne would not be as simple as just visiting.

It is more likely that she will talk about something that is not suitable for her to hear, so she actively chose to avoid it.

So after finishing speaking, the little witch nodded like Daphne, then turned and walked towards the library.

Different from Daphne's elegance, Hermione has always been a clean and neat girl, with a smell of sonorous roses.

After Hermione walked out of the hall, Kyle started showing Daphne around.

This visit is not only a demonstration of strength, but also conveys some of her own ideas to Daphne.

So the first stop of the visit was to visit the four-person team of scientists.

The appearance of four Muggles surprised Daphne.

Apparently, he did not expect that four pure-blooded Muggles would appear in Black's old house in the wizarding world with the image of a pure-blooded one who hated Muggles.

Daphne could tell that these four Muggles couldn't be more pure, and they were definitely not the offspring of the combination of Squibs and Muggles.

But soon, she hid this surprise in her heart, and quietly listened to Kyle's introduction.

Kyle also did not introduce the specific work of the four scientists, but only told Daphne that these people are studying how to combine Muggle technology and magic.

Daphne thought for a while and finally understood.

Probably similar to the Hogwarts Express.

After visiting the four scientists, Kyle took her to the third floor of the basement.

Inside is the most important part of his subordinates at present - the werewolves.

In front of the little girl, Kyle casts a spell on the four werewolves, causing them to transform.

Then he took Daphne to visit the training of the remaining nine werewolves.

Daphne understood Kyle's approach when Kyle induced the transformation of the four werewolves.

Obviously, he used the opportunity of perfect transformation to seduce these werewolves.

Wait until he has fully perfected his magic.

There will be an army of werewolves.

Looking at the few werewolves being trained, it's clear that Kyle has the ability to train them into elite wizards.

I believe that it won't be long before this senior Kyle will have a private army composed of elite werewolf wizards.

And at the time of the full moon, the threat of this army will increase sharply.

Kyle only showed him his achievements in these two areas.

As for the expansion of the basement and the transformation of the magic circle, these are his core secrets.

Didn't intend to show it like Daphne right now.

But these two alone were enough to shock Daphne.

Talent, technology, army, money, connections.

It can be said that what Kyle showed her is already the embryonic form of a force.

This senior is hiding deeper than she imagined.

After the visit, the two returned to the hall and sat opposite each other.

"Senior, you really surprised me."

"I thought the old house you mentioned meant Shafiq's old house, but I didn't expect it to be Black's house."

Kyle understood what Daphne meant.

Although the Shafik family is also one of the 28 holy families, it is obvious that they cannot be compared with the Black family.

Regardless of power or wealth, Shafiq is weaker than Black by one, or even more than one.

And as early as 1930, the Shafik family closed their own manor, completely cutting off the connection with the magic world.

No one knows what happened to this family.

But the 60-year blockade has caused the family to decline severely.

Even if one day, they reopened the gate of the manor, they were already out of contacts and their family status plummeted.

But Blake is different.

Just a decade ago, Black was one of the top giants.

Even though it has declined over the years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and other families cannot compare in terms of connections or wealth.

So Kyle smiled reservedly:
"My family has really helped me a lot."

After taking a sip of the tea brought by Kreacher, Daphne smiled and asked:
"Senior, the state of the old house is obviously very good, why do you say that it needs to be repaired?"

"After all, it's an old house," Kyle said, "It's inevitable that there will be some corners and corners that need to be repaired."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Daphne said this sentence naturally, with a sincere and unaffected attitude.

But this is just an excuse.

Kyle believes that as long as he speaks, Daphne will definitely agree to her request.

Because this represents that Daphne or the Greengrass family has decided to make some investments in Kyle.

Kyle even guessed that this outstanding little witch might even represent not only the Greengrass family, but also some of his allies.

Kyle was not polite to Daphne either, and spoke directly:
"Alchemist."

"The transformation of the old house requires the help of some alchemists. In addition, if possible, you can give me some interesting books."

Backed by the Black family, Kyle will certainly not be short of money.

Therefore, money is definitely not such a low-level, and also the simplest request.

Talent and knowledge are what he wants.

This request did not exceed Daphne's expectations.

When she arrived at the old house, Daphne had already raised the bottom line of this investment in her heart.

Because the simplest money and the help of some contacts certainly cannot impress Kyle.

Only the scarce technical talents and the knowledge treasured by each family are what he needs.

Daphne nodded without rejecting Kyle's request:
"Senior, I will convey your request to the family. I believe that I will give you a satisfactory answer soon."

At this time, Daphne no longer hides the purpose of this trip, and also directly reveals the family behind it.

Having already talked about this step, it is meaningless to continue to cover up.

Kyle smiled and looked at her with satisfaction.

In just a few words, the content of the first contact was set. This girl was more decisive than he expected.

Afterwards, the tone of the conversation between the two became closer.

Sitting in the lobby, chatting all over the place for nearly an hour.

Daphne didn't stand up until around eight o'clock.

"Senior, it's getting late, I should go back to school."

After speaking, Daphne bid farewell to Mrs. Black gracefully.

Kyle also stood up, waited patiently for Daphne and Mrs. Black to finish greetings, then called Kreacher and sent the two back to Hogwarts.

It wasn't until the little girl disappeared behind the door of the rest room that Kyle shook his fist vigorously, new coolie, let's start!
