Chapter 250 Slytherin Family

Wednesday. Xing Ze calculated the next itinerary in his mind. He still had about three days to complete some things and then attend the Shafiq family's dance.

The reason why he agreed to this invitation was not only because he felt indebted to Ellie, but also because he was really fed up with the harassment from various families day and night. As Ben said, this had taken too long and he needed to make a decision.

The atmosphere of the party became more and more high as people drank less wine, and finally reached its peak in a ballad describing the mermaid of the Black Lake. This is a familiar ballad. The ballad depicts the mermaid lifelike and detailed.

Most of the men sang along, including Ben, who put the money thing behind him after downing a glass of bourbon and stood up to join the rowdy crowd.

Gambling, bars, watching football. These three things make up almost all British men. Even when the plague was at its worst in Wales last year, these British people still went to the pub to watch football and gamble.

Xing Ze couldn't understand this at all. He felt that he was out of tune with the people here. The strange sense of isolation made him feel like a lonely stranger.

After drinking the soda in his hand, Xing Ze was planning to leave. Because after the song is finished, some good people will probably ask him to give a speech.

"Another drink?" Ms. Rosmerta asked, rarely holding a glass in her hand to wipe it with.

Looking at the boss's attentive eyes, Xing Ze nodded, "Then let's have a glass of lemonade. Drinking too much soda will make you burp."

"You are really a weirdo." Rosmerta brought a glass of lemonade, "I originally wanted to treat you to a glass of good wine, but it seems that this is impossible."

"Maybe one day I'll drink again." Xing Ze took the lemonade and waited for Ms. Rosmerta to speak.

"Looks like you won the contest."

"If nothing else happens."

"I'm very happy." The female boss smiled, "At least I don't have to see R's stinky face anymore."

"Is he really that bad?"

"It's far worse than you think. Although I don't know how he works, but in terms of character, he can only be called a scumbag. In addition, he is also a money addict. As far as I know, he used his power to collect a lot of money. Bribery and extortion, I have to pay him a lot of money every year.”

Hearing this, Xing Ze became confused. Judging from his investigation of R, this executive of the Key Hall is indeed very good at doing things. As for corruption in private life, members of those big families have this problem to a greater or lesser extent, which is not surprising.

But judging from Rosmerta's story, this member of the Slytherin family seems to have a strong obsession with money and power.

Xing Ze suppressed the urge to burp and asked, "I don't understand, ma'am. With his identity. I mean, you may know that R comes from the Slytherin family."

"Oh, about this." The bar owner showed a meaningful smile, "I am willing to share some information with you, just to make up for the regret of not being able to treat you to a drink."

"I'd like to hear the details." Xing Ze always welcomed free information, let alone information about his opponents.

Rosmerta did not rush to tell, but temporarily handed over the matter at hand to another bartender, then poured herself a glass of mead, "Let me think about where to start."

"Let's start with the Slytherin family."

"An ancient family." Rosmerta sighed with emotion. "The Slytherin family is quite complicated and has many distant relatives. As far as I know, they also have relatives in the United States. Isolt Thayer, that Ilver The founder of Mony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is from the Slytherin family.”

About this. Xing Ze had heard about it, after all, before he traveled to this world. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2" has already been released, and the heated discussions and popular science generated on the Internet have made him, a fan of the movie, learn a lot about the magical world.

Of course, whether this knowledge can be used in this world and whether it is correct requires further confirmation. But now, he could at least confirm that the creator of Ilvermorny Magic School had not changed.

"Of course, the most notorious among them is the Gaunt family. The outside world thinks that the Gaunt family is the only remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin, which is correct. But many people mistakenly think that Salazar ·Slytherin is the founder of the Slytherin family..."

"Is he not?" Information about the Slytherin family is also quite vague.

Ms. Rosmerta took a sip of wine and explained: "Of course not. The Slytherin family comes from the Everglades and is one of the oldest families in the British wizarding world. You can ask Bathilda Bagshot, she lives in Godric's Hollow. She is a very famous historian of magic."

"I heard something."

"I once visited her and asked her about some ancient mead brewing recipes. She is a talkative old lady, and a little delicious mead can make her talk endlessly. I don't remember how the topic changed at that time. The Slytherin family is here.

"The old lady told me that the Slytherin family is ancient and mysterious. The founder of the family was gifted by a god in the Everglades, so he could speak Parseltongue. But she also said that these were just rumors. Who knew the truth? Not sure.

"In short, this family has many branches, and the decline of the Gaunt family does not represent the decline of the Slytherin family. On the contrary, judging from the rumors that R left the Gaunt family and joined a distant relative, the Slytherin family seems to be still alive and well."

"Is R a member of the Gaunt family?" Xing Ze asked.

"Yes, Bagshot happened to have a Gaunt family tree with his name on it, and she showed it to me." Ms. Rosmerta said confidently.

Xing Ze's fingers tapped the glass rhythmically, and he whispered, "Interesting."

"That's right. Don't look at me as just a bar owner, young man, but I have some connections."

"I will mention this to the senior management of the Key Hall. I don't think they will revoke your position or change the office here."

"Look, I just like talking to smart people." Ms. Rosmerta winked at Xing Ze, "Anyway, young man, we are all grateful to you. If you want any information, I will keep an eye out for you."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xing Ze drank the glass of lemonade, then stood up and left the bar, walking towards Ben.

The latter was trying to catch up with the bar singer's drinking speed, and it was obvious that he was about to fail. Xing Ze didn't want to carry him back to Hogwarts again. That experience was not good at all.
