Chapter 2447 that Old Man
"Harry Potter and the Book of Sin ()"!
In the incident that year, it took Tia only a few days from being tricked into the monastery to being successfully rescued at the end. During that time, the number of times she actually met the perpetrator who was probably the "behind the scenes" of the whole case was actually very few.
Among them, what impressed her the most was the first meeting when she came out of the "black prison".
It was an old man, a chubby white-robed old man who looked very kind from the outside—the old man was sitting in a study full of books at that time, when she was dragged in, The old man didn't seem to notice it at the first time, but he just quietly flipped through a very thick book through the frameless lens on the bridge of his nose.
The old man's white beard was neatly trimmed, and his face was rosy and energetic. Even if he only wears a white nightgown, it doesn't look sloppy, but it makes his image more friendly and natural.
"Master, the new kid has been brought to—"
"I've said it many times, don't call me 'Master', there is no one who is the master or the servant here. I am just leading you for a few years as an elder for our common ideals. .I'm old, and when I die, you'll have to move on, won't you?"
When Tia was casually thrown on the carpeted floor, feeling pain in multiple places such as heels, ankles and calves, the other two in the study were also having a simple conversation. Even if Tia didn't pay special attention, she could still hear from the tone of the person who dragged her here that the other person had great respect for the old man in front of him.
But immediately, she found that the old man had walked out from behind the desk at some point, and came to her silently.
"Oh, I've said this too, don't always be so rough—every child who comes to us is as unfortunate as we were, so we have to treat them like a family."
The old man leaned down while talking, as if he noticed the scar on Tia's leg, he slowly stretched out his wrinkled but still steady hands, with a pity on his face as if he wanted to caress. Tia subconsciously shrank back her blood-drenched legs, and the old man stopped immediately when he saw this.
"Is your name 'Tia'? Don't worry, it's fine."
Saying so, the old man suddenly took out a magic wand from nowhere, and moved slightly in a certain direction. The next moment, a palm-sized medicine bottle flew out from a far corner and landed precisely in his hand.
Tia blinked her eyes hidden behind her messy bangs,
Did not speak.
"This is a medicine for wounds. It works well and doesn't hurt... It's just that there will be some itching during the healing process, and it will be fine in a while."
The old man held up the medicine bottle and shook it in front of Tia's eyes, and then pulled off the cap, indicating that Tia could stretch her foot towards him.
It was a bottle of vinaigrette from the St. Francis Asylum of Witchcraft and Wizardry in America—it was printed on the label! Even Tia, who has only been in the magic world for a year and hasn't even studied hard, knows that this is the best potion brand in the United States at present, and even the school hospital in Ilvermorny uses this brand.
Of course, what Tia doesn't know yet is that since St. Francis is still mainly a hospital, most of the output of its subordinate Potion Research Institute is only internal supply. Ilvermorny is the only magic school in the United States, so it's not surprising that the school's infirmary has always had a share, but it's not easy for outsiders to even buy it abnormally.
So after a little hesitation, Tia chose to obey the opponent's will and stretched out her legs again.
It has to be said that Bai Xian Essence is indeed a special medicine for treating trauma. Although it is precious, the effect is surprisingly good. With just one or two drops on the wound, Tia watched her bloody heel recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally did not leave a single scar.
"Son, you are very patient, and this injury has not made you cry. It can be seen that you may be used to the feeling of suffering... But it is not good, we are not born to bear Painful, we should also be entitled to our own happiness, what do you think?"
The old man's voice seemed to have a magical power, warm and peaceful, amiable and persuasive. However, with just a few words, it is obviously impossible to dissolve the hard shell in the heart of a child like Tia so easily.
What's more, she was brutally dragged out of the prison by the person next to her just now!
However, the old man obviously had no intention of gaining Tia's approval with just a few words. Soon, he turned around and said softly:
"Son, I know you must have a lot of doubts in your heart right now. It's okay, we have a lot of time, we can chat slowly for a while... I heard Britt say that you were brought from the street by her new roommate Alisa. Here, like them, is also a homeless person who came from an orphanage—I know the feeling of being at a loss because there are many people in the orphanage who have experienced similar experiences to yours. But from now on, you can Treat this place as your own home, everyone is yours and my family... Believe this, you have already experienced it above..."
The old man squatted in front of Tia just like that, talking in a rambling manner. When Tia heard the other party mention Britt and Alisa, she actually wanted to ask for a few seconds, but after a moment of hesitation in her heart, she still chose to remain silent.
On the other side, the old man didn't seem to notice the twinkle in her eyes at that moment, and continued to speak softly:
"...Son, as you may have heard just now, I—or rather, all of us here—have a vision that people like us who have had, or are going through, someday be able to Get rid of that constant entanglement of misfortune completely.
For this reason, I have accepted many people like you, my child, to live together... Unfortunately, it is easy to create a momentary beauty, you know, like in a monastery.
However, to make this kind of life last forever, to make each and every generation of the unfortunate live happily for a lifetime, it is too difficult, too difficult!
Tia, I can see that you are a smart kid, I believe you can understand what I am talking about. "
Speaking of this, the old man's already slightly sad face suddenly flashed, and suddenly turned into a sincere and confident smile.
"But that's all right," he said, "I've found a way."
