Chapter 20 The Black Tower (Modified)
What was the original old house like?
Undoubtedly, following the usual style of the ancient wizards, the entire house is decorated in dark tones.
The floor was a dull dark brown plank, the furniture was all black, the curtains were gray and even the window frames were dark gray.
It was dark and dilapidated at first glance.
The air was filled with an old and stale atmosphere, and even the portrait of the old man was covered with a layer of dust that could not be wiped off.
And when Pan De said his name, the change happened.
It began to spread from his feet, and all the staleness was swept away.
The floor turned into pure white marble; the tables, chairs, and bookshelves turned deep red, the picture frames and window frames turned tea-brown, and the curtains turned pale gold.
Looking at the brand new old house, Pan De was stunned.
It turns out that this house is voice-activated.
The whole house has changed from dark tones to bright tones, and a lot of decorations have been added out of thin air, including flowers, portraits, and some pendants.
Among them, the ceiling is the biggest change.
From the grayness, it turned into a masterpiece comparable to the Sistine ceiling painting.
A map of Roman emperors.
From the Big Three, to Octavian Augustus, to Tiberius, Nero, to Nerva, Trajan and other five good emperors.
This painting reproduces all the life experiences of these Roman emperors, and vividly depicts the scene more than 1000 years ago.
"It's amazing!"
Pan De praised, at that moment just now, he seemed to be in an ancient battlefield, where he witnessed everything.This feeling is very strange, and he feels a lot of magic that he has never seen before.
"Anli, tell me about the situation at home."
Pan De looked at the extra mark on his hand and said.That was a mark, which represented that he had become the master of this magical building, and could dominate everything here at will.
Even the life and death of Anli and his two children, the three house elves, are in his hands!
Therefore, he already knew the structure of the house.
What he asked Anli to introduce was how many things were left at home.
As expected of an old housekeeper, Lao Anli immediately understood what Pan De meant.
It walked over, and while waving its hand, released a projection-like magic, it introduced to Pender: "Look, young master, this is the entire island.
"There is a fixed school of fish in the east, there are many magical animals in the forest in the west, and the rest are plains."
"Except for some abandoned places, there are still two acres of land that are being used and some food is grown."
"And here is the magic tower at home. Only you are qualified to enter. But the materials inside are gone, only instruments and rooms are left. There are potion rooms, alchemy rooms, practice rooms, laboratories, etc. But the instruments It has been in disrepair for a long time, and most of them are unusable.”
"The furniture in the house is still there, some magic materials have been sold, and only those books are left. Of course, most of the wealth is placed in Gringotts, in order to prevent people from stealing. Fortunately, Lord Dumbledore helped We repaired the books so they didn't rot."
"Is that all?" Pan De looked at the huge island, a little dazed. He didn't expect that what he inherited was not a mansion, but an empty shell that could not be maintained soon?
"Then how much did it cost to maintain this island barrier?"
"The family's money and magic materials were all sold by the master, and they were exchanged for magic equipment worth 300 million Galleons. Only then did the barrier of the island be maintained, and the old house and magic tower were preserved."
"I didn't expect that I would start thinking about how to make money before I went to school?"
Pan De rubbed his head, "How long is 300 million until the next enchantment maintenance?"
"Three years, young master." Old Anli looked a little at a loss, as if he was distressing himself for not being able to share his worries with the young master.
"Okay, I see." Pender thought for a while, and said, "So, will you grow potions?"
"Young master, the island used to be full of old slaves who took care of it." An Li immediately became excited when he heard this.
"How much does it cost to rearrange the medicine fields?"
"If you just reopen ten acres, you only need five hundred gold Galleons, and there are some potion seeds." Old Anli casually grabbed a cloth bag from the air.
Pan De took the bag and opened it to see that it was full of seeds, each one as big as a chestnut.
"What kind of herbal seed is this?"
"Huge holly, a herb with outstanding medicinal properties." Old Anli said.
holly?Isn't this the blind material for shielding the potion of faith?
Pan De was very happy. As for the word "huge", he had already ignored it. Anyway, it's all holly, so it doesn't matter if it's huge or not.
"Okay, just plant this. You take these first and open the medicine field. We may have to sell potions and alchemy products for a living. Go ahead and get it done as soon as possible."
Pan De took out the Galleon and handed it to Anli, then waved his hand and Anli went to prepare.
"Yes, it's my honor to be able to help the young master." Anli nodded happily, happy that he could help Pan De.
He took Pete and left here with an apparition, leaving only Lan Li standing in place.
"Lanli, can you take me to see the black tower behind the house? I'm curious." Pan De asked.
Lan Li was very happy to see Pan De being so gentle, and she was a little twitchy.
I am happy that there are successors in the family, and I am also glad that the young master who met for the first time is as kind and friendly as the old master.
"Of course, please follow me."
Lan Li led the way for Pan De, all the way through the living room, through a pond, and came to the open space behind the old house.
The clearing is surrounded by a circle of hills. Behind the hills is the woods, which can't be seen at a glance. Moreover, there are black crows in the woods, which always gives people a feeling that there is something inside, which makes people very uncomfortable.
"This is the wizard's tower, the Black Tower, which has been passed down from the family. Only August who has the title can enter if each generation is recognized. You can give it a try, young master." Lan Li explained.
"title?"
"Yes, Lan Li doesn't know what it is, but I only know that the master will always be here, looking at the black tower alone and sighing. It is said that there have been several generations of people who have not entered the black tower... If you can enter, young master The Black Tower, the wealth inside is no less than that in Gringotts."
Lan Li stood aside, hunched over, she seemed a little cautious when she said this, and looked at Pan De's face from time to time.
Pan De knew what Lan Li was afraid of, and he didn't explain, let alone comfort him, but came to the gate of the black tower.
"Is that so, is it a tool for inheritance?"
The black tower is a pure black cylindrical round tower, the kind of wizard tower that often appears in the west.
In fact, it is more like a sentry post.
From the outside, nothing could be seen, not the slightest hint of magic.
The body of the tower is extremely hard and smooth, not at all like a product of the Middle Ages, but more like a modern thing.
"Well... Dad said that there are many ancient books in the black tower, as well as many legendary potions, as well as ancient weapons made by goblins and even elves. According to a certain generation of patriarchs, there may be a space inside that can be used by people. To survive in it... that's all I know."
"I see, you go down first, I'll go in and have a look."
