“Dad, I’ve made up my mind,” Gabrielle said firmly. “I want to go to Hogwarts to learn more about magic, and... and Brother Levin is there too.”
The Delacours exchanged a glance, seeing the helplessness and doting in each other's eyes.
What truly convinced the Delacours to agree to Gabrielle's transfer was the Broad Knowledge Society, which Fleur introduced them to.
Through Fleur's description, they learned about the power and profound significance of the arcane magic system taught by the Academy of Knowledge.
After witnessing the various spells demonstrated by Fleur, their thoughts became the same as those of many members of the Academy of Knowledge: they believed that the arcane magic system possessed the power to overturn the magical world and represented its future.
Now that Gabrielle has the opportunity to join and learn the most cutting-edge magical knowledge, the Delacour couple certainly won't let this opportunity pass them by.
Therefore, the couple personally escorted the two sisters to the underworld.
Before the first rays of morning sunlight had fully illuminated Hogsmeade Village, Levin had already arrived at the entrance of the Three Broomsticks pub using teleportation magic.
He pushed open the somewhat old wooden door, and with a soft creak, he stepped into this wooden bar that seemed to exist only in the Middle Ages.
The bar was already filled with early risers, some chatting quietly, others sipping their drinks alone, enjoying the tranquility of the morning.
Levin walked to the bar and casually ordered a butterbeer and a sandwich for breakfast.
He enjoyed the food while waiting for Furong and her family to arrive.
According to the information Fleur had previously sent, her family would arrive in Hogsmeade Village this morning.
As the most popular pub in Hogsmeade, the Three Broomsticks' fireplace is an important transportation hub in the village, and people often come here via the Floo Network.
Meanwhile, the Delacour family was planning to travel to the Underworld via the Floo Network.
Just as Levin finished the last bite of his sandwich and was about to have another butterbeer, the fireplace flames turned green again, just as Levin had seen countless times all morning.
But this time, a familiar figure emerged from the flames.
It was Furong! Her silver hair shimmered brilliantly in the firelight.
After her, two adults and one child emerged from the fireplace: the Delacour couple and their sister Gabrielle. They carried large and small bags of luggage and looked around the bar.
Upon seeing this, Levin immediately went to greet them, his face beaming with a warm smile: "Welcome to the Underworld! Fleur, Gabrielle, Mr. and Mrs. Delacour, it's a pleasure to see you all again."
“Levin, thank you so much for coming to pick us up,” Mr. Delacour said with a smile. “Thank you so much for taking care of Fleur and Gabrielle.”
"It's okay, I'm friends with them." Levin waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something more.
But the Delacour sisters could no longer suppress their longing for each other.
"Levin, we've finally met again!" Fleur said excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was the first to throw herself into Levin's arms, embracing him tightly. From this somewhat forceful hug, Levin could feel the joy she felt from the bottom of her heart.
Because her parents were present, Furong's hug didn't last long before they parted.
Next, Gabrielle gave Levin the same hug and couldn't help but say, "Brother Levin, we missed you so much!"
Levin gently patted her back and put her down. "I missed you all too. So, what are your plans for the future? I'm ready, you can tell me where you want to go."
Mr. Delacour said, "Our most pressing matter right now is finding accommodation for Fleur and Gabrielle. Do you have any recommendations?"
“Of course! St. Catchball Village in Devonshire is a great choice.” Levin suggested without hesitation. “It has charming pastoral scenery, fresh air, a beautiful environment, and many wizards live there. Most importantly—I’m its neighbor.”
· ········Requesting flowers···· ·········
As soon as he finished speaking, Fleur and Gabrielle cheered in unison, "Great! We're going to live in Saint Cachipol Village!"
What kind of pastoral scenery?
What makes the air fresh?
What kind of environment is beautiful?
They don't care at all
Being able to be Levin's neighbor is enough for me.
Upon hearing their daughters' request, the Delacours exchanged a glance and neither refused.
“Since you all like it there, let’s go and see the village of Saint Cachipol,” Mrs. Delacour said with a smile. “I hope it will become your new home.”
Levin was a man of action, and he immediately decided not to waste any more time.
So, after leaving the Three Broomsticks Bar, he waved his hand and cast a teleportation spell, instantly bringing the Delacour family to the village of Saint Cachipol.
Upon entering this picturesque village, Fleur couldn't resist moving closer to Levin.
She lowered her voice and said, "Levin, I've always wanted to live in your house, just like Cirira, and be as free as she is. But you know, my parents might not think that's appropriate."
…
Levin smiled gently, indicating his understanding.
Just then, the Delacour couple came over.
Their eyes roamed the village, assessing the living environment and conditions.
“The scenery here is indeed beautiful, and it’s a great place to live,” Mr. Delacour said. “We plan to find a Muggle house here and renovate it, or we might as well ask a wizard to build a brand new house.”
Upon hearing this, Levin's heart stirred.
He cleared his throat and said to the Delacours, “Actually, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. If you’ve decided, I can build a suitable house for you right here on the spot. It will only take a few hours, and we’ll even save on the cost of materials.”
Since it's in front of my parents-in-law, I should certainly make a good impression.
The Delacours exchanged a surprised glance after hearing Levin's suggestion.
They clearly hadn't expected the boy to have such a bold idea.
In their understanding, building a house is a huge and complex project, and even for wizards, it is just a matter of slightly reducing the complexity.
However, it still requires a professional designer, a construction team skilled in relevant spells, and sufficient material preparation.
Even the most powerful wizard could not complete such a task in a short time by himself.
They certainly knew that Levin had achieved considerable success in magic, but to think that he could build a house out of thin air all by himself was just wishful thinking.
However, Fleur and Gabrielle had unwavering faith in Levin, a faith that bordered on blind faith.
So they all persuaded their parents to stay and take a look.
“Dad, Mom, please trust Levin,” Gabrielle said sweetly, pulling her mother’s hand. “He will definitely build us the most beautiful house.”
Hibiscus chimed in, "Gabrielle is right. This is a good opportunity for you to witness Levin's arcane magic."
Under the relentless pursuit of the sisters Fleur and Gabrielle, the Delacour couple finally decided to temporarily set aside their doubts and stay to watch Levin's "magical performance."
Chapter 488 Building a Villa with Empty Hands
The land that the Delacour couple chose to build their house was near Levin's Enchanted Forest.
Levin stood in the center of the arena, took a deep breath, and gripped his wand tightly.
With a light wave of the wand, a subtle energy fluctuation instantly filled the air.
The Delacours stared intently at Levin, afraid of missing a single detail.
Levin murmured an incantation, and the powerful Levitation Spell was released.
The soil on the ground seemed to lose its gravity, rising into the air and gathering into huge clumps, forming a large pit that was three or four meters deep and hundreds of square meters in area.
No, that's not a big pit. Look at the square shape of the pit; it's just the foundation and basement space of a house.
Levin's precise control and magical ability to manipulate large amounts of soil simultaneously drew gasps of amazement from the Delacour couple.
But that's just child's play.
He controls the soil not just to dig foundations; the soil itself has a more important role to play.
“Hibiscus, could you get me some water?” Levin turned his gaze to the half-Veera standing to the side.
Fleur nodded gracefully, then pointed her wand forward and chanted a spell in a clear voice:
"Clear water like a spring!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear stream of "767" spring water gushed from the tip of the staff. Before the water even hit the ground, it slowly seeped into the soil in the air under the effect of the [Floating Spell], without wasting a single drop.
Levin, meanwhile, began rhythmically waving his wand, making a stirring motion in the large pot. A steady stream of mud and water mixed together, gradually merging under his precise control to form a large, viscous mud soup that tumbled and danced in the air.
As clear water was poured in, the muddy soup gradually grew in size, forming a spectacular mud river that meandered and swirled in the air.
Even at this point, they remained firmly controlled by Levin's Levitation Charm, showing no signs of spilling. Only occasionally, a few drops of muddy water slowly dripped from the edge of the muddy river.
The Delacours stood there, stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
The [Floating Spell] is so powerful that it can directly control hundreds of tons of mud and water; and so precise that it is almost flawless.
Unbeknownst to them, Levin had taken a clever trick, using the 7th-circle spell [Gravity Manipulation] to adjust the gravity in the building area to an extremely low level.
But that's enough to prove Levin's ability.
However, Levin did not stop his magic show.
He waved his wand again, and the muddy water that had been flying through the air began to slowly flow into the large pit in the foundation, following the direction of the wand's movement.
But Levin did not intend to fill the pit with mud. After the mud was laid down in a layer about thirty centimeters thick, it seemed to be restricted in some way, sticking to the pit wall and no longer flowing into the center.
At the same time, several pillars made of mud and water gradually took shape, and the outline of the wall became clearer.
The Delacour family gradually understood Levin's intention—he wanted to use the floating mud to build a complete house!
Starting from the basement floor, then the basement walls and pillars, and finally the basement beams... as Levin's wand was waved, layer after layer of floors and exterior walls gradually took shape until the attic was completed.
Finally, to everyone's amazement, Lai Wen used mud and water to create the shape of an exquisite little villa.
“Truly a remarkable Levitation Charm,” Mr. Delacour exclaimed, but then his brow furrowed slightly. “However, can this villa, constructed from mud, truly last? Won’t it collapse immediately once your magical support is lost?”
Hearing her father's question, Furong smiled gently, "Dad, don't worry. Levin must have his reasons for doing this."
Although she didn't quite understand it at first, she had a lot of confidence in Levin.
Levin nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude for Hibiscus's trust.
He also knew that even after the mud and water were transformed, they would not meet his requirements for building strength.
So he turned to the nearby magical forest and called out, "Girls, I need your help!"
With a rustling of leaves, several tree spirits emerged from the forest. They were graceful and beautiful, like fairies of the woods.
These tree spirits were acting as earthwork dogs for the first time, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement.
The Delacour couple were also captivated by the beauty of these tree spirits.
