"Beauxbatons?"
What should I say? An unexpected but reasonable visitor - Erich nodded towards the clerk who came in to report, and then waved his hand back:
"I understand, you go over first! You said I would be there in a moment...receive me well and don't neglect me."
Watching the other party leave from the door again, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at each other with Fogel who was waiting aside.
"Is it such a coincidence?" Miss Fogel couldn't help but asked when she saw Erich looking at her, "We just talked about the situation in France, and Madame Maxime came."
But in response, Erich immediately shook his head.
"Is it a coincidence? Let me tell you, it's only a matter of time." He frowned and said, "Although McClain can confront Haierbo head-on, it is obvious that there is still a gap in strength between him and Haierbo. Now, he is being pushed again and again by Haierbo, and he is obviously tired...and in this case, seeking help is almost inevitable."
"Then..." Fogel listened and couldn't help but ask, "If this is really the case, do we want to help?"
"have no idea."
Eric was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly and gave this answer. Then, he took down a file from the top of the pile of information on his right, looked at the magic photo of Maka on it and said in a deep voice:
"Logically speaking, this favor should be done - that 'despicable Herbo' is an enemy, and the kind of 'enemy that cannot become a friend'. If he is not eliminated, sooner or later the strange fog will destroy the entire Europe … So much so that the whole world is shrouded… Such a future is unimaginable to us now.”
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly sighed again.
"But the question is, do we have the strength to defeat that 'monster' of Haierbo?"
If enough forces are organized, it might be possible to eradicate Haierbo from the world - perhaps as long as they are willing to think about it, there are actually not a few people who can think so. However, as the heir to the Brandt family and a wizard who has been extremely talented since childhood, Erich is not so optimistic at all.
Haierbo is a truly famous ancient dark wizard. He was already a famous person in ancient Greece. But in this day and age, based on Erich's well-read knowledge, this is simply equivalent to a terrifying incident like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Yes, instead of asking why he was so "weak" even though he was also a wizard, Erich was more surprised by how Maka McLean had grown up to be able to win and lose in a fight with Haier Bo.
Compared with the other party, the "genius" that others call him is simply a kind of irony.
Therefore, what he just said, "Do we have the strength to win the battle?" may be more like asking himself.
Thinking of this, Eric couldn't help but turn around and glanced at the corner. However, the old wizard who had been standing in the shadows in the corner did not react at all.
Seeing this, Eric had no choice but to retract his gaze and stand up with his support on the table.
"Let's go! Go see Madame Maxime who has come from afar, and then... Anyway, let's politely refuse it first!"
"Should I go too?" Fogel asked immediately after hearing this.
Eric said casually as he walked around the table towards the door:
"Of course you want to go! You are the diplomatic liaison officer, and it makes sense for you to go with me to meet Madame Maxime - remember to keep an eye on the situation and help me get rid of the trouble."
"Oh! Okay, Minister."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them walked out of the door one after another, and at the next moment, the figure in the corner of the office suddenly disappeared from where it was.
…
The German Ministry of Magic has relatively little information in books. At least Hermione has read so many books and has hardly seen any too detailed descriptions.
And this time, it was also the first time she came back to this place.
After getting off the carriage in front of the square building, she followed Mrs. Maxim and the old housekeeper, led by several Ministry of Magic employees, to the drawing room and sat down.
To be honest, this building actually feels cold from the inside out.
The gray and tough walls, the cloister with overly bright magic lights, and the ceiling murals that have a rich sense of history but are slightly monotonous in color. Everything in this building had an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made her feel a little uncomfortable even though it was new.
Fortunately, this kind of discomfort was still within the tolerable range, and it would not make her eager to leave this place.
"Does something feel wrong?" The old housekeeper gestured towards Hermione, "Maybe you have noticed that there is not a single window in this building - not even one."
If the old butler hadn't said anything, Hermione wouldn't have noticed this for a while. She was about to ask the old housekeeper if he knew why, but when she saw him, he said directly:
"Actually, the German Ministry of Magic was originally a fortress—its walls had been cast with a large number of protective spells and had experienced the test of the Wizarding War. Later, the war ended and peace came, but the German wizards discovered that even themselves There's nothing we can do to modify it... It's here."
Suddenly, there were two gentle knocks on the door, causing the old housekeeper to stop talking and stop talking. At the same time, Ms. Dequin, who was sitting next to Madame Maxime, also froze, and her whole figure seemed to be frozen there.
Obviously, no matter how determined you are to correct your mentality beforehand, you will still be nervous when the end comes.
"Crack."
The doorknob of the hall door was turned, and then Hermione saw a handsome man approaching middle age but still personable walking in from the outside with steady steps.
"Is that the man that Ms. DeQuin has been obsessed with for so many years?" Hermione observed the other person carefully and secretly said in her heart, "Indeed, if you only look at his appearance, this is indeed a man who can never be forgotten. A man. Even though he is no longer young, his charm remains unchanged, and he even has a more mature charm as he grows older."
But at the next moment, when this middle-aged man with an outstanding appearance and temperament glanced past Mrs. Maxim, his footsteps stopped and he was stunned for a moment.
"Oh! I saw her!"
Hermione smiled secretly - to have such a big reaction, at least she knew that the other party had definitely not forgotten DeQuin. What should I say? Is this a good start
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Hermione's heart, and she immediately put aside those thoughts in her mind.
"what happened?"
