HP’S PARALLEL WORLDS - Chapter 27
“So, how do you know which one is made by goblins and which one is made by humans?”
“The weapons and defenses made by goblins can never rust. Even if they were left in a dusty room for years, they would never be stained with any dust, and these special metal products, in fact, would not need to be cleaned and wiped by anyone at all.”
In the vast majority of these rags they scavenged have appeared dusty or rusty condition, Violet wanted to determine whether they had picked up a goblin-made weapons and defenses, is undoubtedly very simple. But unfortunately, she was not able to find anything, so these metal products, which are not very different from broken iron, should all end up being sent to the scrap collection!
“Sure enough, I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.” Although not able to find something in this box, but also not completely dead, Violet actually more hope in the interior of the precious metals and precious stones jewelry of the small box. Maybe, there is something inside that can sell a high price of good treasure.
“But of course, I do not have that appraisal ability, so, in order to confirm that the box inside the things are worth how much, we also have to run on a trip to the Ancient Spirit Pavilion, let the goblins there to help us identify.”
It is not necessary to open the box with marble statues and plaster busts inside to know that there is nothing they want, Violet is not interested in the box filled with various old furniture inside.
Together with Violet, she skipped the box with clothes and bedding, thinking that even if she could get Hetty to do magic to clean them up, she would not be able to use such things that she did not know how long they had been there, and therefore could cause skin irritation, and Vincent then opened the box with the glass and crystal items.
“Those expired raw materials of magic potions that have completely expired and are worth about the same as dust, just dump them into the trash. As for the magic potions that have no way to tell at a glance what their ingredients are, and therefore may pose a danger to us, Vincent, you remember to give them all, along with the bottles, to Hetty to deal with by magic.”
After picking through the glass and crystal vessels, leaving some of the things they might use later, and then putting the rest back into the chest, Violet finally opened the chest with a lot of miscellaneous items inside.
After finding a very large floor-to-ceiling dressing mirror, and then some other things that she might or might not use, Violet waited until dusk had fallen on the day after she and Vincent had finished sorting and picking through the boxes.
“Everything else except the books, we’ve sorted out today. So, if we can, we can actually make a trip to Diagon Alley tomorrow and sell all these things that we can’t use.”
The reason why they didn’t choose to open a few book boxes today was because there was just too much stuff in there, and Violet, not knowing exactly how long it would take them to sort through as well as pick through the tons of books as well as parchment, just wanted to take a long enough period of time to get the job done and get the rest of the stuff for money first.
While Violet and Vincent were sorting through the boxes, dinner was served, and Hetty, while greeting the two as soon as possible, just snapped her fingers and got rid of the remnants of the magic potion that she needed to clean up.
“Those books that will definitely have some duplication, what kind of ones should be chosen to stay, this should not need me to say, right?” While sitting at the table plate to eat, while calculating tomorrow they need to run a few places in Diagon Alley, Violet in fact has begun to roughly estimate, they can rely on the sale of second-hand goods tomorrow, how much money for nothing.
“Off-gum, missing pages, dirty is the next choice, internal records with a large number of notes, the more detailed and specific, the more reference value, is the top choice.” Knowing very well that new books are not always the best and that old books that come with teaching aids are the ones that allow one to learn more, Vincent certainly could not have had any doubts on the subject of how to choose the books that needed to stay.
“Very well.” In the case that Vincent did not have the relevant knowledge in this area, it was only possible for him to make the distinction between forbidden books as well as non-forbidden books. Violet, of course, had also learned in detail long ago, the seven-year teaching at Hogwarts, which textbooks would be used, and was therefore able to distinguish accurately, inside the tons and tons of books, which ones were textbooks and which ones were extra-curricular books.
The books in her study were first divided into subject categories, and then into textbooks and non-textbooks in each category, and Violet was already thinking about expanding her study so that she could put down more books.
Satisfied with his full day and eager to start organizing his books over the next few days, Vincent would have forgotten to make sure Edward and the others were not lurking in the shadows when he went outside the house the next morning to pick up the newspaper, if not for Violet’s reminder.
With the muggle world, as long as they have reached the age of six, then will be in September at the beginning of the new school year, into the elementary school to start their life’s learning career of children, Edward as a child living in the world of magic does not exist such teaching institutions, is the same as the majority of children of the same age, in their own homes to accept the various studies before entering the magic school.
If Edward did not have such a convenient condition, it would not be so easy to gather a group of friends to find Violet’s trouble anytime and anywhere.
In the case of their own home manor spacious enough, often ushered in the little ones to stay overnight, Edward in the beginning by Violet with a pressurized water gun forced to leave, in fact, did not think at all, she will actually use the red loyalty spell to hide their houses and fields.
When riding a flying broom with his buddies to seek revenge, but just saw a lone mailbox in the open field, Edward was actually unable to take, the mailbox was deliberately moved by Violet outside of their protection, or simply has not been useful, so they were abandoned here.
Edward confirmed that the mailbox was not abandoned by Violet after Vincent picked it up for the first time, after he couldn’t find the object he wanted to retaliate against, so he and his buddies pushed it down in anger.
“I don’t care whether Violet wanted to leave the mailbox because she needed to communicate with the outside world, or because she ordered a newspaper or magazine or something like that. and come outside to get something.”
Even if the houses and fields have been hidden by magic, however, they originally located in this countryside wilderness, but will definitely not change their orientation as a result.
Therefore, Edward, as someone who originally knew very well, which direction Violet’s house and field were actually located on the hill and the grove, it really wasn’t difficult at all for him to try to deduce which side of the mailbox the magically protected area was actually located based on the position of the mailbox again.
“After pushing down the mailbox for the second time, I purposely cleaned up the traces on the ground, so when the other party came to relocate the mailbox, around the mailbox, however, only one person’s footprints were left behind. Even if the footprints suddenly appeared around the mailbox and were suddenly cut off, the existence of these footprints proved that I was not wrong in deducing the location of the magically protected area.”
Not out of anger, but completely for the clear purpose, so the second time to push down the mailbox, Edward the reason why the third time to push down the mailbox, is to see whether the mailbox will be the same day it fell down to be picked up again, so as to use this way to confirm, Violet and they are not at home.
“Nancy, your uncle who works at the newspaper office has confirmed for us that Violet does subscribe to the Daily Prophet and that the owl responsible for delivering the newspaper arrives at the mailbox that we pushed down several times each morning at 6:30 a.m. to put the paper in, correct?”
“Yes.” With short, floppy-eared hair and having been hit by Violet with a water balloon filled with magic potion a few days ago, Nancy was clearly impatient to make Violet pay for what she had done.
“Very well, this evening, we have confirmed with binoculars on the hillside, Violet that mailbox has been picked up again. So, in the event that we can confirm that they are at home today, they should be on time to make the pickup for tomorrow morning’s Daily Prophet.”
