Chapter 1578 A War Without Winners (Twenty-eight)
After having breakfast with Hermione and sending her to the Grangers’ house, Albert used Apparition and returned alone from Australia to his home on the other side of the earth.
However, it was not his wife’s warm embrace that greeted him when he opened the door.
“You smell like another woman.” Katrina’s eyes were slightly disgusted.
“Go take a shower first.”
Isobel appeared behind Katrina holding Alice, looking Albert up and down with a scrutinizing look, whispering to herself, “Your complexion is not as good as before. I didn’t expect Miss Granger to be a wild girl.”
“Then I’ll take a shower first.” Albert walked away awkwardly.
“He deserves it.” Katrina was angry and distressed, “Next, I must pull him up to exercise every morning.”
“I will help you supervise him.” Isobel held Alice and walked towards the living room.
Katrina looked at Isobel who put Alice back into the cradle and continued to sit down to enjoy breakfast, and asked in confusion: "Aren't you waiting for him?"
"With Albert's character, he must have breakfast with Miss Granger before coming back."
"You shouldn't indulge him." Katrina was very depressed.
"Maybe, we will hear the whole process later." Isobel was actually very curious about how Hermione Granger lured Albert into the trap.
However, Albert did not give them this opportunity. After taking a shower and changing the clothes that "smelled of other girls", he said goodbye to Isobel and Katrina with a stinky face, and Apparated directly to the wizard village.
Although the place would not stop functioning due to his lack of him, there would definitely be some problems that needed him to solve.
The actual situation was not much different from his guess. As soon as Shanna received the news, she came to report to Albert about the problems that had accumulated in the past few days.
"The progress here is much faster than I expected. It seems that Mr. Joseph introduced to us by the Minister is quite reliable."
Looking at the cement mortar being stirred and the seamlessly assembled wooden boards, Albert couldn't help but sigh again at the convenience of magic.
Especially the magical magic in the world of Harry Potter, which has a strong flavor of life and can always come in handy in unexpected places.
"Mr. Joseph is an expert in architecture. After reading the architectural drawings you left behind, he made some minor modifications," Sana took out the modified drawings from her handbag and showed them to Albert, and quoted Mr. Joseph's original words: "He said that your architectural drawings are very Muggle-like, but in fact, you can be bolder. Wizards who are good at magic don't need to be bound by inherent thinking like Muggles."
"It seems that Mr. Joseph also comes from a Muggle family." Albert simply flipped through the drawings Sana handed over and asked, "What else did he say?"
"Well, he said that these villa frames will take about a month." Sana hesitated for a moment and added, "The guy is now charging people to design the internal structure of the villa."
"He is really a smart guy, and he knows how to create extra space for himself. "" Albert smiled and handed the document to Shana and asked: "How about the price of charge?" "Twenty Karon provided a full -time design, and he would help stare at it during the construction." Put it directly, so there is no so -called design at all. "" You can't pretend to hear this. "A strange voice came from their right side. The guy who spoke was a middle -aged witch with a beard. "" Albert was curious how many people were "deceived". "There were 11 customers paid the deposit in advance. "I don't think I have any reason to refuse."
Joseph immediately put away all his thoughts and simply mentioned his request, hoping to leave his name in the village.
"Oh, of course there is no problem. As long as you help to keep an eye on the construction here, you will definitely get what you want." Albert promised.
"Happy cooperation." Joseph walked away with satisfaction.
"I thought you would help to advance the galleons directly. The guy who paid the deposit before must be very angry." Sana smiled happily, anyway, she didn't pay.
"That's normal, isn't it?" Albert corrected, "That was their deal with Joseph. A deal is a deal. I shouldn't have to pay for them."
"But that guy is easier to talk to than I expected." Sana looked at Joseph's back and murmured, "Fred and George had a hard time trying to lower the price to 20 galleons before."
"Joseph is a smart man."
While greeting the people around them, the two continued to walk around the village to inspect the changes in the surrounding area.
"Oh, that guy has other purposes?" Sana was surprised by his cunning.
"He stopped immediately after seeing that he couldn't make any extra money. By the way, he could do a favor. He probably wants to settle here and want his name to be recorded in history books with this village."
"He is indeed a smart man!" Sana didn't think so much and led Albert to the outskirts of the village.
The place has now begun to take shape. Many fruit trees have been transplanted here, and some people are even working on grape racks there.
"Professor Sprout also came to help. I'm actually curious about how you convinced her?" Sana casually found a topic for conversation.
"This is a good place for retirement, isn't it? If Professor Sprout is willing, she can move here after she retires from school, and then she can do what she likes here."
The two stopped by a well, looked at the deep stone well and said: "According to your plan, we dug two deep wells nearby, which should be enough to supply water here. However, the construction of the water storage tower may have to wait for a while."
"It seems that I don't need to keep an eye on this place." Albert couldn't help but sigh at the changes in Sana. Sure enough, as long as they can get enough experience, most people will not be too bad.
"No, I still think you'd better come here every day. There will always be problems that need you to solve here, and with you here, everyone will be more serious about completing their work." Sana knew that Albert's "deterrence" was very important, otherwise this team might not last long and would start to go astray and deform.
