Nothing happened all night.
Under the panic and struggle of the past few days, the tranquility of this night may be called "luxury". Even Maka, who was still awake all night and sat on the shabby sofa all night, felt a little bit of the peace of the past while thinking complicatedly.
And when the rising sun slowly rose in the east and gradually illuminated the pier through the ribbon-shaped clouds on the horizon, two carriages, one large and one small, came at high speed from the south.
"Oh, are you here?"
Maka, who was rubbing her forehead in the warehouse, suddenly put down her hand, glanced up subconsciously, and then stood up with a support on the armrest of the sofa.
…
"boom!"
The large carriage, which looked like a small house, was obviously not as smooth as the small carriage that arrived first when it landed. The wheels bounced on the ground of the dock twice before landing completely.
After the sound of horse hooves stopped for a while, the big car finally stopped behind the previous small car.
"Lord of Blois Castle, are you here in person?"
When an exceptionally tall woman stepped out of the huge carriage and led a dozen wizards to stand in the open space of the dock, they saw that the low-key and luxurious carriage in front of them also opened slightly. At the door, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes and imposing manner walked down behind an old man with a humble posture.
"Let's not forget about the disaster on the other side of the strait... After all, this time Mr. MacLean has officially come to France to live temporarily. Of course, I have to come to welcome him in person to show the sincerity of my Blois family."
Although the other party's words seemed to treat the whole of France as his own territory, Mrs. Maxim really couldn't say anything.
Because in the French magical world, this is almost a fact. Regardless of its heritage or strength, Chateau Blois is truly the only one in France, which is undoubtedly rare in the magic circles of other countries.
And just as the two parties stopped at the dock to chat casually, Maka's figure finally appeared suddenly at the warehouse and walked towards them.
"Mr. Blois, Madame Maxime... Good morning everyone, thank you for coming here so early in the morning!"
"Good morning, Mr. MacLean."
Seeing Maka coming this way, Blois and Maxim immediately went up to greet her.
"If there weren't some things that needed to be prepared overnight, my master would have gone to Canterbury to help last night!" The old housekeeper followed Mr. Blois and said to Maka with a smile, "And the ladies, if not The head of the house deliberately concealed these things, so they might be able to sneak out of the house secretly... "
"Oh, hearing you say that, I really miss them a little!" Maka shrugged, paused and then said apologetically, "But... I'm really afraid that I'm really going to cause you trouble!"
"Mr. Maclean, look at what you said," Mrs. Maxime shook her head gracefully and whispered in a gentle tone that did not match her size. "This disaster, at least, involves the entire Europe. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a big issue that the whole world needs to pay attention to!”
Of course what Mrs. Maxim said was the truth, but the actual situation was still complicated after all. Before any country faces the most direct threat, most countries will actually just stay on the sidelines.
Not to mention far away, even among the countries closest to the UK as the "hardest hit area", aren't at least half of them just gritting their teeth and preparing while watching secretly
What's more, because of Helbo's big move, the face of the magical world has been gradually revealed in front of the Muggle society. The conflict and confusion between Muggles and wizards can also be a very troublesome problem.
But at present, this contradiction is only entangled under the water's surface and has not yet been truly exposed.
"Mr. McClain," after greeting Maca, Blois, who always has a tough and direct style, immediately said, "I have asked people to free up several blocks for pure wizards to live in for the refugees - It’s obviously not safe here, so it’s better to move there as soon as possible.”
After that, he waved his hand gently, and the old housekeeper nodded to Maka and rushed to the warehouse area to make relevant arrangements. When Mrs. Maxim saw this, she immediately asked the wizards who had followed her to come with the old housekeeper to help.
As for the remaining three people, Maca, Blois and Maxim, they boarded the two huge carriages at the invitation of the latter and sat down at a table inside.
Blois and Maxim came here, firstly, to accept the refugees from England, and secondly, naturally, they wanted to discuss with Maca the various actions of Haierbo as soon as possible, and to understand Haierbo more accurately. Strength.
Although Mr. Blois did fight against Haierbo, at that time he only had a hasty battle with Haierbo who had not regained his strength. Not to mention, that guy now might even have surpassed his previous peak state.
The three of them had a lot to talk about. In the carriage, they drank cup after cup of tea, and Blois and Maxim's expressions became worse and worse.
Even if the Blois family has investigated the confrontation between Maca and Haierbo, how can ordinary spies understand the root cause of the conflict with the strength of the two of them beyond the normal scope
For example, in the area shrouded in gray fog, since the complete fall of London, only a handful of people have been able to walk out of the fog alive.
"... In short, it is best not to let go of the combat power in the two hands easily, because it is almost a deal with no return. At the moment, Haierbo should at least not stretch his hands to France... As for the British internal affairs To be honest, I’m still thinking about Lu’s issue.”
Maka took another sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand again, and then continued:
"At present, the Muggle Prime Minister and the Queen have gone to a secret place in the north. The royal family is probably not stable. I will ask Kingsley to go over there and talk to them face to face during breakfast time - some things need to be discussed. It depends on their attitude to really decide.”
Wizards and Muggles each have their own powers and, of course, their own ideas. Even in the United Kingdom, where the conflicts between the two sides are somewhat less obvious, both sides need to think more carefully when faced with various incoordination in mutual cooperation.
"After all, even if we can make up our minds to coexist peacefully, the essential contradiction between magic and technology still exists, and no one can ignore it."
After saying this, Maka was about to change the topic, but suddenly, he tilted his head slightly as if he noticed something.
"Wait a moment, everyone, I'm going out for a moment."
