Transferring the family wizards from Camp Granger is not a big deal for the Brandt family - they say they are going to be sent to Denmark, but as long as they cross the border in northern Germany, that's it. Does it count as stepping on Danish soil
If they can use this excuse to withdraw their manpower, the Brandt family can also increase the defensive strength of the northern border. This is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
This shows that Miss Brandt has inherited the family's shrewdness.
But it's a pity that Maxim actually doesn't care at all about the people sent by the Brandt family to the wizard coalition!
As we all know, the Brandt family's heritage lies almost entirely in the dragon farm. The combination of dragon trainers and a large number of fire dragons is the real strength of their family. As for the manpower support they provided, it was nothing in comparison. In the previous tragic Weymouth defense battle, they were the first group to retreat.
To be honest, Mrs. Maxim was actually hoping for a suitable reason to transfer those guys away from the coalition forces!
As for the girl in front of him... Maxim originally thought that the one coming today would be someone like the chief deacon of the Brandt family.
"Miss Brandt, you... forget it, I don't want to embarrass you more, please come back! Please tell your family master that actually rushing to the aid of Denmark is equivalent to assisting in the defense of your country. Next... the alliance will consider supporting it. Miss Blois' actions. By the way, if it is necessary to talk again, please send a more suitable person."
"you-"
At this point, it was obvious that the young lady of the Brandt family could no longer pretend—the timid look she had before was not her true character at all.
"Madame Maxime, let me tell you the truth! I came to Beauxbatons today and I never thought about leaving!"
Suddenly, she shrank away from before and said loudly:
"The head of the family made it clear to me before I left the mansion. If I go back without completing the tasks he assigned me, I will be punished. But it doesn't matter. Even if I fail for a moment, the head of the family has other plans! In fact, When I set off to Beauxbatons, the owner of the house had already sent people to start the arrangement... "
Hearing what she said, before Maxim could react, he saw her suddenly pull out a strange-looking dagger from her sleeve, and then put it directly on his fair and tender neck.
Immediately afterwards, she gritted her teeth silently, stared straight at Maxim and said:
"Madam, you can try to guess what will happen if I strike with the knife... Don't worry, as far as time is concerned, there is still more or less time."
If a knife cuts on the neck, it will naturally bleed profusely, but it will definitely not kill him immediately. Just looking at her expression of hidden anxiety but somehow becoming confident, it was obvious that it was not that simple.
And what's more important is that the dagger... does look suspicious.
It was a dagger with a scarlet blade, as if it had been soaked in a lot of blood and had just been fished out of the blood when it was about to be used. It looked bright and vivid, but it was even more thrilling.
This may be some secret belonging to the Brandt family. At least with Maxim's knowledge, he didn't recognize what was hidden in it at the moment.
After waiting for a while, the girl pursed her lips and said to Madam Maxime threateningly:
"Can't you guess? It's actually very simple - I believe you are familiar with the 'Twelve Uses of Dragon Blood' discovered by Albus Dumbledore, right? One of the uses is to use it as a potion after dilution Use the absorption accelerator. And the blade of this dagger has already stored sufficient diluted dragon blood, as well as... greatly concentrated living corpse blood."
When she finished saying this, the girl's originally pretty face had turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. However, she still suppressed the fear in her heart and finally said:
"Madame Maxime, if I haven't walked out of Beauxbatons by myself before lunch time, then the news of your affair with Haierbo will immediately spread among various forces, and the head of the family will also personally bring people here I want people from you.”
Framed? Blackmail
This kind of vulgar but never outdated drama naturally has its reason for being popular in every era. If one is not handled well, the outcome is foreseeable.
However, it is true that dragon's blood can be used to promote the absorption of potion ingredients after dilution - after all, this is one of Dumbledore's most commendable discoveries.
But the question is, what happens when the human body absorbs the blood of a living corpse? Will it turn normal people into living zombies
It has to be said that there are still large gaps to be filled in the current research on living corpses. However, at least now many people know about the birth of living corpses.
Even if everyone has not yet learned about the demon summoning technique, the fact that they were transformed in the mysterious gray fog has at least been recorded.
As for the blood on their bodies...at least just contact with it would definitely not turn normal humans into living corpses.
Of course, it would be hard to say if it was forcibly absorbed into the body in this way like the Miss Brandt in front of me - so far, no one has been crazy enough to do such a thing!
"What do you want, head of the family?"
At this point, it was obvious that Maxim didn't want to be polite to her anymore, and the hesitation and pity he had shown towards her before had naturally gone away.
No matter whether she dared to cut her own neck or not, just doing it willingly and voluntarily in front of others was not much different from a madman.
On the other side, Miss Brandt heard that Maxim finally asked this question, and she immediately said:
"The head of the family has said that Granger and the others will be called to the border between our country and Denmark to resist the incoming living corpses. Originally, the Blois family also wanted them, but now that they plan to go directly to Denmark, it seems that they will not Okay... Next, I will follow you, so please don't do anything that makes me feel 'uneasy', do you understand?"
Judging from her conditions, the head of the Brandt family wanted Maxim to become his puppet to a certain extent, and the person who was using it to coerce her was Miss Brandt's life.
However, this condition is really difficult for Mrs. Maxim to achieve!
But Maxim didn't expect that in the moment she was in trouble, the matter would take another unexpected change.
