"Hello, Mr. Blois."
Delphi didn't know how she felt when she said this, but fortunately, it didn't seem to be as difficult as she imagined.
"Ah hello."
Blois is usually not very enthusiastic when facing strangers, and can even be described as cold most of the time. But this time it was quite friendly. After all, it seemed that this girl also had a good relationship with Maka.
"Miss Granger, hasn't Mr. MacLean come out?"
Hearing Blois ask this question, Hermione nodded immediately and said:
"Maka is a little busy at the moment and can't spare her time, so she asked me to take Delphi directly to see him... Oh, Mr. Blois, it's okay! This is Maka's friend and helper, too. A very powerful witch."
Seeing Hermione introducing Delphi in this way, Mr. Blois nodded slightly calmly on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart.
"Oh, really?" He said after glancing in Delphi's direction, "Welcome to our Chateau Blois. Since you are a friend of Mr. MacLean, you are also a member of my Blois family. Friends—just be casual.”
"Thank you, Mr. Blois... Well, thank you also for your enthusiastic assistance to so many refugees!"
Just when Delphi suppressed some unknown emotions in her heart and tried hard to play her due role, Hermione took her and said goodbye to Blois, and then took her out of the main hall. .
Until then, Blois stared at Delphi's leaving back, frowning as if he was confused.
"Master?"
The old housekeeper on the side saw him thinking deeply for a while and couldn't help calling him. Blois came back to his senses and shook his head gently.
"Don't talk too much. If there is a problem, Mr. McClain will naturally notice it - just do what you have to do! Everything is fine here."
"I understand, Master."
After hearing this, the old housekeeper immediately leaned forward and gestured. Just before turning around and leaving, he seemed to realize something and added:
"I'll tell those guards to keep their mouths shut."
"That's how it should be."
As Blois spoke, he casually sat down on the sofa next to him. After the old butler quietly left, after a long time, he couldn't help but murmured:
"A 'very powerful' witch?"
…
Not to mention Mr. Blois's secret doubts over there, Delphi was already following Hermione in the corridor beside the atrium.
Looking at the lush greenery outside the corridor, her mood became a little lighter.
"Um... Is anyone over there?"
Hearing a few voices floating in the distance, Delphi asked subconsciously, but she soon regretted it. Because as expected, it was Weili and the girls who were gathering there at the moment.
Fortunately, Hermione obviously didn't want to lead Delphi to see them yet.
"It should be Miss Blois and the others!" Hermione, who was walking next to her, said casually, "Let's go to Maca's side first, and I'll take you there to get to know them later - they are also very good partners! "
Although to be honest, Hermione has never been very good at dealing with Willy...whether it was the Willy in the past or the current one.
"Oh, go this way."
Not long after, Delphi followed Hermione back indoors and walked along the corridor to an area where the sun could not shine.
According to her memories that were sometimes clear and sometimes vague, this seemed to be... the route leading to the magic laboratory area in Bloine.
"This is it." Soon, Hermione took the lead and stood slightly in front of a door. "Maka is inside - oh, he must have noticed our arrival! Here, put on the mask, Maka. Stuck preparing the potion."
Delphi took the mask from Hermione's hand and put it on as instructed. The next moment, she saw that the door Hermione pushed open was filled with light green mist, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier and did not pour out from the door.
"come in!"
"Um."
Seeing Hermione walking in first, Delphi naturally followed immediately without hesitation.
But when she entered, she realized that her field of vision was not as low as it seemed from the outside. At the first glance, she saw Maka who was trying to mix several medicinal solutions in front of the material preparation table.
Hermione and she didn't speak when they saw this. After closing the door gently, they both stood not far away and watched Maka doing things quietly.
"Stab-"
The sound of the liquid mixing was inexplicably uncomfortable, and inadvertently, goosebumps appeared on the two women's bodies.
Fortunately, that feeling came and went quickly. When Maka mixed several medicinal solutions together and fully reacted, the uncomfortable breath receded like a tide.
It was only then that Maka plugged the test tube in her hand with an oak stopper and placed it on the test tube rack, and then turned around with a slight step.
"Delphi, you're here."
This sentence is very simple, but Hermione will not understand the deep meaning. Only Delphi will understand the meaning of Maka's words.
She paused, then nodded slowly.
"Well, since we're here, after dinner... come with me to the Muggle Queen's place!" Seeing that she didn't say anything more, Maka simply ignored those things and turned to So said.
Upon hearing this, Delphi couldn't help asking:
"Is it just the two of us?"
Maka quickly shook her head.
"No, and Kingsley."
Speaking of this, Maka saw Hermione on the side who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and immediately waved her hand at her.
"Don't worry, you have something to do this time - well, rather, your mission will be much more important than our trip at night!" He said to Hermione, "When we finish handling some trivial matters After what happened, I will ask Kingsley to hand over the work of communicating with the Muggle Queen to you... Believe me, this job will definitely not be easy!"
After saying this, Maka continued:
"Hermione, go call Kingsley over! Then you can go to Luna's place to rest... It's not easy to stare at the crucible for a long time. See you at dinner later!"
"oh."
It could be seen that Hermione was still visibly reluctant when leaving.
Unfortunately, there were some things that it was really not convenient for Maka to let her know... such as the secrets about Delphi, or the potion he was mixing.
However…
"Dad, I think I might know what you're making."
