"Are you here to see Sarah?"
To be honest, it is not very surprising that this fat young man Noah would come to Blois Castle at this time. After all, Switzerland, where he lives, is close to the east of France, and the Blois family and their Hohenheim family have had intermittent contacts since ancient times.
After receiving the news that Maka and others had finally escaped from the fight with Herbo and arrived in France, he, who had been worried about Sarah's safety, naturally rushed over to see the situation.
"Yeah!" Noah habitually patted his belly full of fat, and then said, "You know, Sarah means to our Hohenheim family - how is she? Is she okay? I heard that the girl is called Haierbo is so cruel, like Sarah... Well, anyway, is she okay?"
Seeing that the fat man wanted to come closer to her as he talked, Maka had to push him further away before she could speak.
"Sarah is fine," he said, "Although with her level of alchemy, she can indeed be regarded as a good helper, and I did ask her to help me with some help... However, she has no practical ability. , naturally I can’t let her participate in dangerous combat missions.”
Noah nodded repeatedly as he listened, seemingly relieved at last.
"That's good, that's good... I'm sorry, I just heard that your fighting situation has not been very good, so..." As he was saying this, he suddenly seemed to realize that this statement was not appropriate, and hurriedly shouted at Ma Ka waved his fleshy palms and said, "By the way, what about Sarah? I want to meet her—"
"Oh, I'm afraid this is inconvenient," Maka shrugged, "I wonder if you have heard about Hogwarts' study tour plan... Sarah has been with the students since before this disaster began. She went out to travel around the world on a boat! But don’t worry, at least she is definitely safer than us sitting here."
Maka will definitely not tell anyone the exact location of the Change... The castle can collapse, but the teachers and students on board are determined not to have anything happen to them. They are the true continuation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
While the two were talking, Maka suddenly sensed something and turned her head slightly.
"...Oh, Mr. Blois is here."
"Eh? Are you here?"
When the fat man heard this, he quickly straightened his back and straightened his sitting posture. Looking at him, the fat on his belly was almost put on the coffee table in front of him.
And the next moment Noah had just posed, the hall door was gently pushed open from the outside, and Mr. Blois walked in with his cold and majestic posture.
After all, Willy's father is the current patriarch of the Blois family, a dominant family in France, and this is what he really looks like when he meets outsiders.
In addition, the fat man Noah was brought here many times by his father when he was a child. It can be said that Mr. Blois watched him grow up. Facing this "elder" who always has a straight face, it's no wonder he is so trembling.
"Uncle Blois, good afternoon... um... my father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
"Um."
Seeing Blois nod, the fat man thought that the other party would quickly look away from him like in the past. But unexpectedly, this time after Blois responded, he still stared at him and looked him up and down.
"Uh... Uncle Blois, what's wrong?"
However, before Bulova could speak, Maka, who was sitting nearby, spoke first.
"Have you discovered it too?" Maka looked at him and then turned to look at Noah again, "Tell me! Has Nico Flamel's alchemy laboratory been opened?"
"How did you know-"
When the fat man heard Maka's sudden question, he subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but before he could finish speaking, he quickly blocked his mouth with his fat hand.
After looking back and forth at Maka and Blois a few times, he whispered:
"Dad told me to keep it a secret."
However, Maka and Blois ignored his sad little eyes, but looked at each other again - the two of them had begun to realize what Noah's father meant.
Yes, due to a series of reasons, the plan to make Nico Flamel’s estate public was finally shelved.
After one event, except for arranging some outstanding alchemists to try to crack the entrance to Nico Flamel's laboratory, the incident of dividing the inheritance basically faded out under the mutual vigilance and vigilance of various forces. into the public eye.
Because no matter what people think in their hearts, as long as no one can open the laboratory, then everything is just a fantasy.
And if we take into account the huge disaster caused by Haierbo not long after, the matter of the alchemy legacy has temporarily become an old thing that has been forgotten in the corner by most people.
However, although ordinary wizards can put this matter aside for the time being, it is impossible for those few alchemists nowadays to forget it. Among them, apparently included the father of the fat young man Noah, the head of the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center.
In fact, both Maca and Blois now felt that the fat man's father might have specially asked him to come here to expose the news of the opening of Nico Flamel's laboratory to Maca and Blois.
"Anyway, let's talk about it! What exactly happened? Did your father solve the mystery at the entrance to the alchemy laboratory?"
As Maka asked, she stared at the fat man's fat body again - the opponent's magic power fluctuations had obviously become very special, very close to the natural magic state. It's no wonder that even Maka almost missed it before. Ignoring his existence.
Of course, Noah obviously knew nothing about Maka's induction. When he heard Maka continue to ask, he thought that he had already spilled the beans anyway, so he simply gave up on concealing it.
To be honest, his temperament is not good at hiding things in his heart.
"No," the fat man shook his head and said, "I untied it... Well, or to be more precise, I untied it by accident! If you ask me to do it again, I definitely can't do it. , because I also had a trance in my head..."
After that, Noah, while reminiscing, told bit by bit what happened when his father took him to Nico Flamel's former residence for "a long experience."
As Maka listened, she couldn't help but sigh to herself—opportunities are not just for one person, and anyone can happen upon them. This time, he happened to be caught by Noah, a fat man who was somewhat "uneducated and unskilled".
"So, you found Nico Flamel's magic stone manufacturing notes inside?"
"No, no, no, it's just a small part... It's really just a very, very small part! If I have to say it, it can only be regarded as one step among many preparations, right?"
