………………

Along the way, after seeing all kinds of dizzying and strange shops, finally, Naker finally stopped in front of a brightly lit, beautifully decorated and elegant restaurant.

Compared with the few shops that Charlie saw in front of him, the area of ​​this restaurant is extraordinarily large. According to his calculations, it will probably be about [-] to [-] square meters.You must know that in such a densely populated business circle of the wizarding world where every inch of land is expensive, a facade that occupies such a large area is not a small sum of money just for the rent.

And on the top of the restaurant, even its signboard is about three or four times larger than other shops, and the word "Idel" is delicately depicted with a dazzling light like a diamond...

As if he noticed that Charlie was interested in the restaurant named Idel in front of him, Sanchez, who was following the two of them in a transparent gesture, appeared in Charlie's ear in time, and whispered abruptly
"Idel is the name of the director of the Auror Office of the French Ministry of Magic. Their family is very powerful in the French magic world. Apart from this restaurant, there are many shops on the Cacher Square that belong to him. Even the entire Kache Square, he has [-]% of the revenue right."

"The right to benefit?!" Charlie seemed to have heard some incredible news, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. He looked at Little Sanchez in disbelief, and repeated his words again, in case he heard something wrong.

"Right to proceeds."

Noticing the conversation between the two, Naker, who has long been an old fritter in the local business district, naturally joined in, nodded, and continued to explain
"Kache Square is not owned by the Ministry of Magic... Well, if I say it more accurately, it should be that the Ministry of Magic actually owns 20.00% of the total income of Kache Square. Third, as the second shareholder, most of all its income Apply it to the daily maintenance of the Ministry of Magic..." Speaking of this, Nucker gave Charlie a suggestive smile, raised his eyebrows and continued in a low voice, "Of course, why most of them, everyone understands."

Charlie turned his gaze back to the elegant and palace-like restaurant in front of him. While absorbing a lot of new knowledge he has learned since coming to the French magic world, he slowly shook his head to express his inexplicable feeling at the moment. Feeling.

Suddenly, Charlie seemed to think of something, looked at Nucker again, and couldn't help asking, "Just now you said that the French Ministry of Magic holds 20.00% and is the second largest shareholder. So who is the first shareholder?"

It seems that eating and drinking are ordinary. Hearing Charlie's question, Sanchez Jr. and Naker almost didn't even think about it, and they immediately answered in unison, "Nico Flamel!"

"Nico Flamel?!" This time, Charlie couldn't hold back anymore.Immediately in his mind, he recalled that dry and thin old man with long silver-white hair and a kind expression. The expression on his face was even more complicated.

Is this... is it a dream linkage?

Naker looked at Charlie's reaction, although it was a bit strange, he still scratched his head disapprovingly, and said, "Everyone in the French magic world knows that Master Nicole Flamel is the richest man in the French magic world. Before, it was Master LeMay who first proposed the establishment of Kache Square. As the largest investor, Master LeMay owns 70.00% of the income right of the entire Kache Square... Then, he later gave 20.00% of his income right It was donated to the French Ministry of Magic for free. But even so, he still holds a full half of the shares and is the real first shareholder."

Mentioning Nicole Flamel, Nacker's eyes seemed to be shining with light, and his appearance made Charlie a little ashamed. He couldn't help thinking that if he knew, the main reason for his visit to France this time Just to visit Nicole Flamel. I don't know how he will react.

And Naker, who was aroused interest, obviously wanted to popularize some information about Nicole Flamel, the most proud century in the French magic world, to Charlie as a "foreigner", so even if the appointment time was about to come, he I didn't want to go in so anxiously, but continued to say, "Actually, this is not too difficult to accept. After all, Master Nicole Flamel has lived for more than 600 years. A fraction of his age may be younger than Sanchez. It is so big, and there are treasures like the Philosopher’s Stone, it’s easy to become the richest man. But in fact, Nicole Flamel has too many properties, not to mention anything else, just..."

Just when Charlie sighed and was about to tell him to shut up and be hungry, a voice appeared first, interrupting Nucker's voice.

I saw that not far from the door of the restaurant, a middle-aged waiter in formal attire greeted him quickly with a happy face.As if he didn't see Charlie, he ignored him, walked straight to the two Sanchez, big and small, and said respectfully, "Mr. Sanchez and Master Sanchez, good evening!"

"Dullus... Good evening to you too." Seeing the visitor, Nucker's expression finally recovered as serious and dignified as it seemed at the beginning, without the relaxed feeling when he was with Charlie, and just gently Jawed the head, a simple greeting symbolizing politeness, but in the voice, there was a refusal to be thousands of miles away as if it had crossed the class.

Obviously, Nucker and Sanchez Jr. are also regular customers in this restaurant. Duluth, who is in charge, first saw the two of them with a guest who was not very familiar, so he was ready to welcome them, but Not wanting to know what they were talking about, the three of them stopped at the door and started talking, which made him come out and greeted first.

"Is everything prepared according to what I said?"

"Of course, of course..." Duluth bowed and nodded, "It's all according to your wishes."

"Not bad." After only giving such two words as an evaluation, Nucker ignored him and turned his head and said to Charlie with a smile

"Then Mr. Black, let's go in. I guess you must be hungry."
