Soul of reincarnation

The next day, Lance took Ethan into Elton's ancestral home.

The Elton family is also an aristocrat in the magic world, and Lance and Ethan can only enter here under the contract signed by owning Ovelia, the last member of the Elton family.

Then Lance carefully drew a hexagonal magic pattern on the floor of Elton's ancestral home with a quill and dragon's blood ink.

"This is the bloodline resonance magic circle. After passing this magic test, Elton's ancestral house can completely belong to you. From then on, this house has no secrets for you. The house elves of the Elton family also I will be loyal to you." Lance explained to Ethan after painting, cut Ethan's left index finger, dripped blood into the center of the magic circle, and lit the magic circle.Push Ethan to the center of the magic circle again.

Like a breeze blowing on the skin, the light from the magic circle passed through Ethan's body and expanded to the entire house.Ethan felt the response of the whole house, every room, including the secret room, no longer held secrets from him.Even the house elf coffee that had been hidden before appeared beside Ethan.

Lance asked Ethan to squat down, put his left palm on the center of the magic circle, handed him a note, and asked him to read it again, "I, Ethan Elton Kent, announce the expulsion of Ovie who gave up the glory of the family. Leah Elton, declaring that she cannot return to this house."

After Ethan finished reading, he realized what it meant.In the past, Ovelia was Elton's last bloodline.Even if she transferred the house to Ethan, the house still wouldn't refuse Ovelia's entry.But with Ethan's request as the current owner of the house just now, she can no longer enter here.

Lance nodded in satisfaction, and taught Ethan to turn on the protective magic of the house again, and changed the setting of the fireplace.Now set to the highest level of restriction, except for the fireplace of the Kent family, others can no longer reach the house through the fireplace.

Lance took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, "Now I'm going to the Ministry of Magic, you stay here and take a good look at your house. The coffee will take care of your meals and naps." Lance handed the house elf another cup of coffee Zhang Yisen's schedule, "I will come here to pick you up after work."

Ethan nodded, watching Lance Apparate away.

Ethan is very familiar with Elton's old house, because the Elton family failed to give birth to a male heir, and Elton's patriarch attaches great importance to Ethan's grandson. Not only did he once say that everything in the Elton family will belong to Ethan Yes, and I often take Ethan over to play.

Only the family secret room, Ethan knew nothing about it.So of course Ethan went to the Chamber of Secrets first.

Pressing his left hand on the blank wall, a moment later, a portal was revealed on the wall. In the past, only Patriarch Elton could enter, and now only the sole owner of the house, Ethan, can enter.

Except for a desk and a chair in the secret room, there are some gold and silver antique treasures.

Ethan was a little puzzled, and took out the key to the vault, and checked the original Elton family vault through the trader, and found that in addition to hundreds of thousands of Galleons, there were also many family gold and silver antiques.

Ethan was a little curious, what happened to the things in these secret rooms, and why they were not put into the Gringotts vault. Could it be that they were worried about Gringotts?That's why it's the cunning rabbit's three caves?

There was a thick notebook on the desk, Ethan climbed up the chair, opened the notebook to check.

Then the heart pounded wildly.

It turned out that my grandfather was a hidden Death Eater, and he joined the ranks of Death Eaters not for any pure-blooded ideal, but for profit.And these things in the secret room are the property he obtained through illegal means during these years of being a Death Eater.It can also be said to be swag.

Even if the account book did not clearly state what illegal means it was, just by looking at the money earned, one could guess the bloody and cruelty involved.

Because they couldn't see the light, it wasn't safe to put them in Gringotts, so my grandfather hid these things in a secret room that only he could enter.

Ethan was stunned for a while, leaving only two questions in his mind.

My grandfather was a Death Eater, so what is the chance that Lance, whom my grandfather liked very much and insisted on marrying his only daughter to him despite his daughter's objection, was not a Death Eater?

They should belong to the same camp, that's why grandfather trusted Lance so much.

And what to do with these stolen goods and ledgers?If someone else got it, it would be a perfect criminal evidence.

For several generations, Ethan has been a law-abiding person who abides by social rules.It's not because of anything else, it's just because of his simple nature, when he does what he wants, he actually neither has the ability to commit crimes or break the rules, nor does he have any thoughts about it at all.At present, there is nothing that he wants but cannot obtain, and must use special means to seek it.

But in the face of these stolen goods, Ethan has absolutely no intention of making them public or returning them to the victims.Because the fact that my grandfather was a hidden Death Eater couldn't be revealed.

If his grandfather reveals his identity as a Death Eater, Lance will also be greatly questioned.

Whether Lance was a Death Eater or not, Ethan assumed for now that he was.

Well, the first defeat of the Dark Lord is not far away, at least Lance still has a glamorous status as an official of the Ministry of Magic on the surface.As long as no crime was caught at the scene, as a nobleman, no one could lift Lance's sleeves to see if he was a Death Eater.

Both grandfather and Lance were hiding very deeply. At least Ethan hadn't seen them wearing Death Eater masks, nor had they seen their arms.Ethan believed that even Ovelia didn't know.

Under this Dark Lord's reign of terror, if Ovelia knew that Lance was a Death Eater, she would not dare to divorce.She may have hated Lance, hated the relationship, but she wasn't afraid of Lance.

If Ovelia knew that Lance was a Death Eater, in the current situation where the Dark Lord was in power, Ethan thought she would be scared.Except for Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix, ordinary wizards are afraid of the cruelty and evil of Death Eaters.

Ethan was a little thankful that Lance had asked for this house from Ovelia. If Ovelia found out the secret of his grandfather, it would not be hard to think of Lance.

If it is said that Ovelia respects and fears her grandfather, it is unlikely that her grandfather's identity as a Death Eater will be exposed.Then she wouldn't be so polite to Lance. When the Dark Lord failed completely, she might threaten Lance, or she might reveal the news to others at will.

That was a disaster for Ethan.

Not only would the biological parents possibly be at risk of death, but the Kent family would also be discredited.He might lose his father, Lance, and his mother, Ovelia, has always been non-existent.As a result, he may have to live alone at an early age, and face the indifference and prejudice of the entire wizarding world.

So, Lance has been prepared for a long time, so is he coming to the Elton family's ancestral home?

Did the Kents also have a secret room containing stolen goods that belonged to Lance?

Ethan shook his head, no longer thinking about these things out of his control.

Put all the gold and silver in the secret room into the treasury of the trader, even if it is jewelry, put gold and silver and other precious metals into the treasury, and sell the various gems inlaid on it on the shelves.Those antiques without magical fluctuations are also placed on the shelves of the trader, set to face Muggle buyers.

Only those objects with magical fluctuations were neither dared to sell nor dismantled.Ethan casually put them into the warehouse together with the dark ledger, and studied them slowly when he had time.

He also handled the things in the Gringotts vault in the same way as this method.No matter how safe Gringotts is, how can it be as safe as his artifact trader.

Only [-] Galleons were left in the Gringotts vault. The house elves usually used the money in the owner's treasury to buy food for their household, so they needed to keep some money in the treasury.Or occasionally mail shopping items, and the merchants get money directly from Gringotts through the list.This money, together with the annual rent of about one thousand galleons of shops, should be enough.

The purchasing power of Galleons is still very high, a wand only needs 7 Galleons, and you only need to buy it once in a lifetime.Every student who goes to Hogwarts spends no more than 10 Galleons a year, provided there is no special luxury consumption such as buying the latest flying broom.

But for several lifetimes, because of the existence of the trading device, Ethan never cared about money at all.At this moment, he only had a sense of gratitude that he had dealt with the big trouble, and felt that he had straightened out the new changes in his life, and then he was greatly relieved.

Coffee was originally a house elf who took care of Ovelia growing up, but because of the awkward relationship between Ovelia and Patriarch Elton, even Ethan spent more time with his grandfather than Ovelia, so Coffee I know Ethan very well.And because my grandfather always said that everything in the Elton family would belong to Ethan, so the coffee easily accepted the new owner.

Ethan thought about the impression his grandfather left on him in the past. Unlike Lance who always had a serious expression, his grandfather was always gentle and patient.

Play with him in the garden and tell him stories.

It was hard to imagine that such a gentle and patient grandfather would be a cruel and cold-blooded Death Eater.

But what about those family portraits of the Eltons?After my grandfather passed away, there should be a portrait of him here too?

At the dinner table in the evening, Ethan asked Lance this question.

"I asked Ovelia to take away all the portraits of the Elton family. I don't know what they will think of you, the grandson of the Elton family, if Ovelia and I divorce. Even if they can't Go against the owner of the house, but if they have an opinion on the Kent family because of Olivia, they may give you some wrong teachings when you are still young."

"Where did the mother go? Does she have a place to live?" Ethan's feelings for Ovelia are very flat, but he doesn't want her to have a bad life.

"She went to France. When your mother was at school, she had a boyfriend from Ravenclaw. He taught Charms at Bubaston School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France. They kept in touch. Your mother may be very happy." Will remarry soon."

"Aren't you angry?"

Lance shook his head, "If it weren't for your grandfather's wishes, Ovelia would not have married me. She respected and loved your grandfather, and didn't want to disappoint him. That's why she finally compromised and married If it weren't for your grandfather's promise to me, everything in the Elton family would be left to my daughter and grandson in the future, and I wouldn't marry her. Ovelia and I have always been two people who are incompatible, what a pity you My grandfather thought that I would be a responsible and good husband, which was the most correct choice he made for Ovelia. I am a good husband, if Ovelia hadn’t chosen to divorce, then we would never have divorced in our life. I also I will not do anything to betray my family, but unfortunately I am not the husband Ovelia wants."

I nodded in understanding.On the spiritual level, Olivia and Lance are indeed at odds.Olivia's life is carefree, without the troubles of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and trivial matters.She certainly has higher-level pursuits.For example, spiritual resonance and spiritual understanding.This is not incomprehensible.
