Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 368 Wizard Chess

After toasting and drinking together, everyone began to wipe out the food on the plate. Hermione Granger, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but lowered her voice to reprimand Ron's wolfish appearance, but even so, her sharp tone hid Gentleness is obvious to others.

Jasmine Weasley and Arthur Weasley smiled at each other when they saw this, and of course they were not dissatisfied with Hermione, the future daughter-in-law.

In a fair assessment, Jasmine Weasley's cooking skills can only be considered fair, but tonight's meal seemed to be a luxury for the Weasley family, as can be seen from Ron's performance.

The reason for this is not for other reasons, but because the dinner specially designed to entertain Gao Feng, the guest who saved Ron, was a little 'rich'.

As one of the 28 sacred families in the wizarding world, the Weasley family has the same inheritance heritage as other wizarding families, but it is completely different in terms of material life.

In the original book, when Ron first entered Hogwarts, he wore an ill-fitting old cloak, and the wand he used was a second-hand product used by his brother. Even the food used to satisfy his hunger on the Magic Express he carried was a piece of wet, dry Corned Beef Sandwich.

So even though the food made Gao Feng feel that it was not enough for the gaps between his teeth, and even the consumption of the fusion of "Five Viscera Guidance Technique" and "Rama Internal Strength" was hard to withstand, but he still had a satisfied face. He carefully picked up the napkin and gently wiped the broth stained on the corners of his lips.

"This broth is really delicious." Gao Feng looked at Molly Weasley and nodded in praise.

"Thank you! As long as you like it, Van Gogh." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Weasley immediately raised the corners of her mouth and said with a flushed face.

It was inevitable to have some conversations at the dinner table, and he had no dislike for the Weasley family, and he was even touched by the warm family atmosphere, so they had a good conversation.

By the time the dinner was over, Gao Feng had almost understood the situation of the Weasley family.

The Weasleys were classified as one of the 'Holy 28', however they resented this and pointed out that they had ancestral ties to many interesting Muggles, and their protest was disgusted by other advocates of bloodism , treating every member of the Weasley family as a 'pure-blood traitor'.

The Weasley family wants to associate with Muggles, Muggle-borns, and half-blood wizards, and doesn't think their blood is superior to others. This is in line with Dumbledore's concept of mixed-blood, pure-blood equality, and maybe it is, except for Percy, When the Weasley children grew up, they all joined the Order of the Phoenix and served under Dumbledore.

For several generations, the Weasley family has always only had boys who knew the birth of Ginny Weasley, so compared to the youngest son Ron who was always wronged, Ginny Weasley was favored by the whole family.

Arthur Weasley is still working in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.

Molly is a housewife.

Bill Weasley is the eldest son and works as a spellbreaker at Gringotts Bank. Gao Feng suspects that Bill Weasley assisted Dumbledore before he forced the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

Charlie Weasley, the second son, who is now studying dragons in Romania, was one of the Weasleys who was absent from the dinner.

The other absentee is Percy Weasley, a top student who once served as the prefect of Gryffindor House. After graduation, he entered the Ministry of Magic. From the gloomy expressions of Arthur and Jasmine, who were hesitant to speak, It can basically be judged that Percy Weasley is different from other Weasleys. His thoughts are closer to the Ministry of Magic than to the Order of the Phoenix.

Fred and George Weasley, twins who look alike, have also graduated from Hogwarts. The two who are good at pranks opened a shop called "Weasley's Magic Wheezes" in Diagon Alley, selling All sorts of fun gag items, and even with the fear of Voldemort's return looming over them, business is still booming.

Then there are Ron and Ginny Weasley, the two teenagers who haven't graduated yet.

In addition, the Weasley family is related to the Black family. The mother of Arthur Weasley and his two brothers was originally named Cedrella Black, so Nymphadora Tonks seems to have returned home. The seemingly casual posture is not purely due to her personality.

"Can Mr. Van Gogh play wizard chess? If so, Ron can play two games with you. Although Ron seems a little slow in other things, he is a real master in this respect." The Weasley family The hostess Jasmine was packing up the tableware, and Arthur, the hostess, said to Gao Feng.

"Wizard's chess? It's Lewis chess, right?" Gao Feng knew something about this. Although he had no feeling for Quidditch, puzzle games like chess had some qualities.

"It does have this name." Arthur Weasley was startled for a moment, and then realized that although wizard chess was born in the magic world, it is not unique to the magic world. The Muggle world discovered wizard chess in archaeology, and for it It has been given a new name, that is 'Lewis Chess'.

At the same time, the wizard's chess is not original to Rowling's aunt. It corresponds to the walrus ivory chess pieces found in a sand dune cache on the beach of the Isle of Lewis, the westernmost point of the Hebrides Islands in Scotland in 1831, and was named the Lewis chess piece.

This set of chess pieces with precious materials and fine workmanship was sought after by collectors once they were discovered, and is now one of the treasures of the British Museum.

"Lewis Chess, yes, my Muggle friends often call it that." Arthur Weasley nodded with a smile, then picked up a 'bishop' chess piece, raised his eyebrows and pointed at Gao Feng with his eyes, 'Do you want a plate'.

"Okay, but let me tell you first, I don't know much about this kind of chess." Gao Feng nodded slightly and said honestly.

Ron, who was sitting on the chair next to him, eavesdropped with his ears pricked up. When he heard these words, his face fell down. He was still a little eager to try and wanted to find his courage from Gao Feng on the chessboard, but he didn't expect that Gao Feng didn't understand at all. Wizard's chess, which made him feel helpless as if he was trying his best to hit the cotton.

As for 'bullying' newbies in wizard chess?He, a master of wizard chess, can't think of it at all, it's too boring.

"Ron..."

"You guys play, I... I went upstairs with Hermione and Harry." Ron waved his hand hurriedly, glanced at Gao Feng with a little evasion and fear, and immediately looked away to find an excuse, before he could say anything After that, he hurriedly took Hermione's hand and dragged her to the upstairs room, not even aware of Hermione's wide-eyed shock and subsequent shyness.

"Sorry." Harry Potter shrugged awkwardly, and then chased after the two friends.

"Well, it seems that we should discuss the fun of wizard chess." Arthur Weasley sighed slightly, and smiled helplessly at Gao Feng.
