A sumptuous lunch, quite enjoyable.
After all, no matter how upset Maka was in her heart, she would not put this feeling on the table and make everyone unable to eat.
Although... In fact, Maka can also see that most of the people are just like herself, forcing a smile to take into account other people's interests.
"...Mr. Blois, I heard that the wizarding neighborhood you prepared for the refugees not only has beautiful scenery, but also has a long history. So...the residents who originally lived there...doesn't it matter?"
"Well, of course it doesn't matter! Miss Granger, please don't worry. The subsidies and rewards provided by Castle Blois are enough for them to happily settle down elsewhere."
"Oh, uh... that's good, thank you for doing so much for us!"
"No, compared to the help Mr. McLean has brought to our Blois family, this is nothing at all - a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
At the moment, everyone was listening to the conversation between Hermione and Mr. Blois. In fact, it can be heard that Hermione originally wanted to use this topic to express her gratitude to the other party again, but as they chatted, she was confused by Mr. Blois's "full of heroic" arguments and didn't know what to say. Why did you answer the call
"Father."
Just as Hermione picked up the glass and took another sip of grape juice, concealing her delicate mood, Willy, who was sitting next to Mr. Blois, suddenly touched her father's elbow.
"Don't mention money at the dinner table."
"Oh, I'm sorry honey, daddy won't mention it!"
Nowadays, Weili has become quite fluent in speaking, and her expressions have become much richer than before. Only when I'm not in a good mood, I will slightly change back to this extraordinarily concise style of speaking.
As for Mr. Blois, he was worthy of being a doting father. He instantly sensed Willy's dissatisfaction and quickly responded softly.
Immediately afterwards, he gently put down the wine glass in his hand, with a straight face:
"In short, please feel free to stay in France - as long as our Blois family does not fall, it will definitely be safe here!"
After giving such a guarantee personally, he immediately turned around and said:
"Since everyone has almost finished lunch, let me talk about some more important business! Currently, the personnel sent by the family to monitor the movements around the mist have sent back the first batch of detailed information. Before lunch, I just I read through all those reporting documents..."
As soon as Willie's father said this, everyone at the table, including Maka, put down the cutlery or cups in their hands and turned their eyes to him.
Mr. Blois, after a pause, continued:
"Yes, there is no valuable information about Haierbo's situation at the moment, and the fog that covers most of Kent County, the outer part is basically quiet, there is no special abnormal situation."
But when he said this, he waved his hand slightly.
"However, 'no abnormality' can sometimes be regarded as an 'abnormality' - there are so many Muggle cities in Kent County, but after all, only a few small towns between London and Canterbury were evacuated before! After the fog spread this time, not even a single refugee was seen around the fog, which is obviously very unusual."
In this regard, Blois did not continue to speculate along the train of thought, but just thinking about it based on the zombie attack not long ago, some possibilities are ready to emerge.
Ron scratched his scalp, shook his head and whispered:
"Oh, what will the world look like in the future... I really don't want to imagine it!"
However, at this moment, Maka, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:
"None of us know what the future will be like - neither does Helbo. But in the next short period of time, no matter what changes are happening in the fog of Kent County, Helbo will not act rashly."
"Why?" Mr. Blois couldn't help asking after hearing this, "Is it because he was injured?"
Seeing that everyone focused their attention on him again, Macca shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that he was injured, but that he was injured again."
Regarding the specific situation at Hogwarts last night, Maka has never mentioned it since arriving at Blois Castle. Most of them saw that he didn't take the initiative to explain, so even his friends who waited until he went to solve the problem of the meteorite crash didn't ask.
Until now, Maka sighed slightly and looked at her friends who were watching her from left to right.
"You must all want to know what happened last night, right? Maybe you all saw that fleeting meteor." He said quietly, "First of all, let me tell you some bad news - Hogwart The castle fell."
Even when they discovered that Maka had never mentioned this matter, some people were already somewhat mentally prepared. But when Maka told the news personally, everyone's hearts trembled suddenly and they all froze in their chairs.
"Collapsed...?"
Neville touched his mouth and muttered to himself, with a dull look on his face. Hannah on the side couldn't help but grasp his arm tightly, also showing a slightly dazed expression.
The expressions of Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were particularly similar at this time. They all pursed their lips slightly and lowered their eyes without saying a word.
Even Weili, who had left school midway, was blinking her eyes with a touch of sadness in her eyes. After all, it was the place where she first met Maka, her benefactor, and it was also one of the few places in the world where she felt at ease.
Seeing that everyone was in a very low mood, Maka didn't pause for long and immediately continued:
"There is bad news, and of course there is good news... Although Haierbo suddenly appeared injured and interfered to disrupt my plan to resist the meteorite, he also suffered more serious injuries. Even if he has the ability to heal himself, At least in a short period of time, he will not be able to return to his peak form."
Speaking of this, Maka couldn't help but spread her hands.
"So, he will definitely not take the initiative to look for trouble these days - in fact, during this period, he will avoid me and prevent me from looking for trouble while he is seriously injured!"
Judging from the various behavioral signs of Haierbo, it is obvious that he still needs to rely on the demon body to do other things. What's more, if his body is really destroyed by Maka, it will be even more difficult to do it again like before.
"Of course," Maka said with a smile, "I do plan to take this opportunity to find trouble with him! We have all been forced out of the UK by him, how could we let him secretly and easily How about recuperating?"
