Hogwarts Card System: Story of Ted Epiphany

This is a somewhat dilapidated and dark cramped room. Judging by the degree of peeling of the walls, the last maintenance is estimated to be more than ten years ago.

  The four old wooden beds and the table next to it are the same, they are almost patina-anyone who looks at it will feel the vicissitudes of life.

   This is a room on the second floor of St. Mary's Orphanage, located in Camden, London.

  The Santa Maria Orphanage has a history of nearly two hundred years since its establishment.

   As you can tell from the name, it was originally an orphanage under the church.

   It's just that these days, the business of the church is also average, which makes the orphanage's economy very tight.

  Ted looked around, and then looked at his immature white hands. He could confirm that he had time-traveled, and it was a soul wear.

  The current time is June 30, 1991. I am located in an orphanage in London. I am an orphan and I am 11 years old this year.

   What is certain is that I have a golden finger, because there seems to be a golden light in my mind. All you have to do is pay attention to get the information - the system is starting...

  His name is now Ted Epiphany.

   Tedre contains the allegory of the supreme gift.

  Epiphany (Epiphany) is Epiphany, and it also means epiphany.

  The reason why the nuns of the orphanage named Ted was because on the night of Epiphany, January 6, she dreamed that someone was talking to her.

  I can't remember the specific content of the dream, but after waking up, I opened the door to check, and saw Ted, who was just born in the swaddle, at the door of the orphanage.

  Epiphany, also known as "Appearance Festival", is derived from the Greek word epiphaneia, which literally means "appear" or "be known", meaning "Jesus showed his divinity to the world three times". It has a very important position in Christianity.

  So Mammy thought it was a good omen, so she adopted him and named him Ted Epiphany.

   roughly means "the holy gift of Epiphany".

  …

   "Ahaha~ time travel~ what a beautiful thing~" Ted leaned against the bedside wall with his hands behind his head, laughing happily at himself.

  St. Mary's Orphanage's economic conditions are not very good, or to put it bluntly, it is not far from closing down.

  Religion has now declined. Since the Declaration of Human Rights in 1789, religion has been secularized.

  After more than two hundred years, although churches are still everywhere, they are very different from before.

  If a priest wants to be on the news in ten or twenty years, he can only do it with a little boy.

  So although you won't starve in the orphanage, what you said about balanced nutrition is a bit ridiculous.

  Ted touched his ribs, and the two ribs were very clear.

   Complaining is not enough, there is nothing to complain about if you can live again.

  But the current situation needs to be improved to some extent. Malnourished people can't grow tall.

   Find a way to make some money, not too much, just improve the food.

   "Tsk, it's not easy to do." Ted thought about it for a few minutes and found that the situation was not good.

  Based on my current situation, I can't work, and no one wants child labor.

   You can't beg for food, right?

  eh~ there are no available resources... usable? what do i have now

  He suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked towards the corner. There were a few trinkets and personal items, and an old guitar with worn paint!

  This guitar can be regarded as the elder of the orphanage. It was given to an orphan by a kind couple about seven or eight years ago.

  The orphan gave the guitar to a younger orphan before being adopted.

  When the orphan was adopted, he gave the guitar to Ted's roommate, but Ted's roommates were lucky enough to be adopted one after another, and finally left the guitar to Ted.

  A guitar handed down to six or seven hands is simply a family heirloom of the orphanage!

   There are four wooden beds in this small room, but as a result, the other three roommates were adopted, leaving me alone.

  Ted picked up a small round mirror and took a picture. The kid has fair skin, delicate facial features, and piercing eyes. It can be said to be very cute.

   It shouldn't be!

Oh, I see.

  Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, Asian, or Chinese.

  Well, the difference between Little Stick, Little Days, or Southeast Asians and Chinese people is quite big. At least Ted could tell.

   "Well, there is no need to expect to be adopted. Let's start a business with self-reliance!"

  As you get older, you are less likely to be adopted.

  Ted took the guitar and strummed the strings to test the sound, let's do it.

  After adjusting the tuning, try playing.

   To be honest, this old guitar is still a bit big for my 11-year-old body, and I am not much taller than the guitar.

  But it's good to have it. Street art is better than begging.

  …

   On the second day, the gold finger remained unchanged.

  Ted found an old city map, recalling his not-so-rich travel experience, and began to consider the location of street performers.

   Too far is not enough, I can't go too far with my small body.

  Safety first, don't go to places that are too messy. Don't improve the food, you will be trafficked instead.

  Then there is a lot of traffic, and it is best to relax. There are too few people, or places where passers-by are rushing to do business are not good choices.

  Fortunately, there is a famous Camden Big Market in the Camden area where I live, and I will pick a place by the side when the time comes, and play and sing by myself.

  I hope the gentlemen and ladies in London can be kinder.

  But don't be too kind, you can't see the poor~

   It took 20 minutes to convince Mammy, after all, it was close—it took ten minutes to walk, and the public security was not bad.

  Now that the orphanage is like this, she will only be touched by Ted's willingness to help support the family.

   On the first day, Mammy accompanied Ted. He played and sang for more than three hours until his voice couldn't take it anymore.

   Earned £4.35p.

  Probably enough to eat two or three meals of KFC this year.

   After all, an 11-year-old boy playing and singing on the street is quite attractive.

  Thanks to his previous life, Ted can play and sing well, and most children have good voices.

  And Ted is familiar with some classic songs in Europe and America.

  Therefore, many well-meaning wives and ladies extended a helping hand.

  Praise them~May they all have twins!

  On the way back, Ted and Mammy bought a lot of cheap fruits and vegetables.

  Mammy was overjoyed, "Little Ted, I didn't expect, I didn't expect... This way I can feel much more at ease."

   I didn't expect Ted to have such a skill. At least after leaving the orphanage in a few years, he can be regarded as having the skill of eating.

   Mammy, four or five of them have to take care of dozens of children in the entire orphanage from one or two years old to teenagers. Even if they care more about Ted, they can only ensure that he has enough food and is not bullied.

  You ask her if she knows that Ted can play and sing, all she knows is that Ted likes to play with that old guitar. As for who I learned from, I don't know, and it doesn't matter.

   Several days passed, and Ted was already familiar with the road. Mammy is also relieved that she doesn't have to follow her every day.

   In the past two days, Ted took the time to find some old newspapers and magazines, and briefly confirmed the situation.

   Very good, I haven't seen any historical changes.

   The time of World War I and World War II, and some major events have not changed.

   That is to say, I was reborn in London, and there is also a cheat system that is always restarting—the booting speed lags behind 100% of users across the country.

  Even without this golden finger, relying on my own understanding of the future, I can't go wrong in the future!

   What Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla... Wuhu takes off!

   "Haha, I will become a millionaire in the future and realize the freedom of wealth by lying on banknotes~"

  Ted picked up an old newspaper from last year and browsed it.

   There is no useful information, but I saw an urban rumor in the corner of the fourth page.

   It is said that a few drunkards saw a half-human, half-goat monster with horns on its head in the wild on the outskirts of the city? !

  Look, even big newspapers still sell.

  You might as well just say that there are succubi outside of London, the sales will definitely be huge.

  The title is called:

"Shock! There is such a gorgeous monster outside of London? "

  "Mature man's legs are weak after waking up from alcohol, why? ! "

   "Alert! Don't go to the outskirts of the city if you have a bad kidney"

  Direct Sales Champion~

   For several days in a row, Ted's income was not bad, and most of it was bought for the orphanage, and he kept a little pocket money for himself.

   Until July 7th, when Ted came back from the market, he had no time to catch his breath and put down the guitar on his back when he heard someone knocking on the window.

  Ted was startled: This is the second floor!

   Taking a closer look, there is actually an owl outside the window.

   It has an envelope in its mouth, and it is looking at itself!

  Ted took a deep breath and carefully opened the window.

  The owl jumped in and dropped the letter on the windowsill.

  Ted carefully stretched out his hand, and seeing that the other party had no intention of opening his mouth, he picked up the letter and took a look—the envelope was made of thick parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink:

   "Mr Ted Epiphany, St Mary's Orphanage, Camden, London."

  No postage stamps.

   Turned over, the envelope had a red wax seal on the opening, pressing an emblem: a coat of arms with a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

  Ted looked at the letter in his hand and knew in his heart that his dream of becoming a millionaire might be broken.

   But it doesn't matter, because the wizard dream is coming!
