Chapter 596
Darren looked at this task with pleasant surprise.
During this period, the system's tasks had gradually decreased.
Even when they did appear, they were only tasks that gave Saint Father value.
Darren had thought that no tasks other than those for Saint Father value would appear this summer, but he didn't expect a task for Fleur's favorability to come along.
【Accept】
Although he didn't know why Fleur was being chased by a goblin, since the system gave a reminder, this goblin must be up to no good.
As he walked to the outside of Beauxbatons school.
Fleur indeed walked back from the distance with a look of panic on her face.
Her eyes looking at Darren held some pleading, and some self-abandonment.
Clearly, she felt that since she had been so arrogant to him just now, he probably wouldn't help her.
Darren didn't pay attention to her expression; he looked at Fleur earnestly for a moment, then turned to look at the goblin chasing her behind her, seemingly wanting to ask something. "Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This woman took an item from our shop, I'm just making her hand it over!"
The goblin chasing Fleur threatened Darren viciously.
Darren frowned, then he grabbed the arms of both Fleur and the goblin, and stopped the goblin from getting close to Fleur.
Both of them tried to break free from Darren's grip, but they couldn't break free at all.
Looking at Darren's arms, which didn't look very strong, they both opened their mouths in shock.
"Mr. Goblin, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you need to tell me specifically right now, what exactly is the object, are you really not lying to me?
And Miss Delacour, I also hope you can tell me what exactly happened, is it as he said?"
【Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining +50 favorability with Fleur】
Darren accepted the reward and asked seriously.
Even though he looked like a handsome young boy, he gave off a frightening feeling.
"My name is Griphook…"
Griphook said hesitantly.
Then Darren turned his head to look at it in shock.
This is the Griphook who had previously withdrawn money for him at Gringotts?
How did he become like this?
And he had even left Gringotts.
Also, he used to look like a young goblin, how did he become so old now?
"Kid, put away that look in your eyes, this woman stole our shop's treasure!"
Griphook gritted his teeth and glared at Delacour.
Darren was stunned.
He turned back to look at Fleur—such a beautiful girl would steal things?
"What are you looking at? I just accidentally broke it… and then I had no choice, I could only run away with it…"
Fleur took out a pile of debris in embarrassment.
It looked like something made of glass.
"We can't use magic during summer vacation, I had no choice, so I thought about going back and letting my father restore it.
And then return it to them, but it ended up like this."
Fleur curled her lips.
She even seemed somewhat indifferent.
Darren was completely dumbfounded.
You ran off with someone's shop treasure, and they aren't allowed to chase you?
Good heavens!
Is this personality a bit too nasty?
"Hmph, but I was also injured by it, look, right here, it won't recover in two days!"
Fleur pointed to the scratch on her arm and said indignantly.
Darren clicked his tongue.
This little scratch had already scabbed over…
"I don't care, either you return the item to me in perfect condition, or you pay 100,000 Galleons!"
Griphook said angrily.
Darren was shocked.
100,000 Galleons?
The inheritance left by Lily and the others was only about 300,000, and now this is one-third of the assets in one go!
And what kind of thing is this?
Darren looked carefully at the thing in Fleur's hand.
It was an alchemy product.
Judging from what he had learned during this time, it was an alchemy necklace.
Its ability seemed to be just making one look pretty.
Yes, wearing it makes one slightly prettier.
This thing, 100,000 Galleons?
Why don't you just go rob someone?
This is the lowest-level thing at Nicolas Flamel's place!
Although he only knows the theory now, he might be able to make one, so this thing is worth 100,000?
He looked at Fleur, feeling like he was looking at some kind of sucker.
And the cracks on this necklace didn't look like they were caused just now; there were traces of a mending spell on it.
This kind of alchemy product is very difficult to restore; unless you are an alchemy master, you basically can't restore it.
But if you were an alchemy master, wouldn't making a new one be better than this?
Fleur must have run into a rip-off shop, right?
But this girl is no pushover either.
She actually stole this thing directly.
If she had really succeeded, maybe nothing would have happened.
Indeed, one should never underestimate the heroes of the world!
